Chapter 128: The Hero Saves the Beauty, the Fourth Disciple
Just now Jiang Yuyan was almost in despair.

Especially when she heard that it would cost such a high price to redeem herself.

Jiang Yuyan, an illegitimate girl with no status and who has never even seen her own father, has been wandering around since childhood. She has never had a good life and is very picky.

To her, five hundred taels of silver was a truly astronomical sum of money. Not to mention taking it out, she had never even seen it.

She didn't even believe that any stranger would be willing to spend so much money to save her.

But who could have thought that there would be a sudden turn of events and someone would actually come to the rescue!

Jiang Yuyan looked up and saw Li Ming and Lin Pingzhi clearly in front of her. She was grateful, but also stunned, with her eyes focused on Li Ming.

Li Ming himself looks young and handsome, but he is usually too strong and has made great achievements, so his brilliance is so dazzling that people often ignore his appearance.

In addition, Li Ming is now extremely powerful. Although he is young, he already has a demeanor that is completely inconsistent with his age.

Jiang Yuyan is a person who cares about appearance at heart, otherwise in the original film and television plot, she would not have fallen in love with the handsome Hua Wuque at first sight.

Seeing Li Ming at this time, and the other party standing up and spending so much money to save her without blinking, it felt like a hero coming down from the sky to save the beauty, which made Jiang Yuyan extremely moved.

This made Jiang Yuyan feel as if her heart was suddenly struck. In Jiang Yuyan's eyes, Li Ming's handsome appearance instantly became extremely tall and full of aura.

For a moment, Jiang Yuyan stared at Li Ming with tears in her eyes, without any other reaction, and was stunned for a moment.

Sai Diaochan and Xiao Cui were also stunned. They originally said those words to make things difficult for Tong Xiangyu, but they didn't expect Li Ming to suddenly stand up.

Moreover, Yihonglou has bought quite a few maids. After all, this is a legal business in this martial arts world. But why is Master Li suddenly willing to meddle in other people's business today?

Could it be that this girl is the type that Master Li likes?
Sai Diaochan inexplicably had this thought and couldn't help but look at Jiang Yuyan's lovely appearance again.

At the same time, what happened here also attracted the attention of many people in the town.

Especially now that Li Ming appears outside the martial arts gym, many people will be paying attention to his every move.

Normally, Master Li seldom meddled in other people's affairs, but this time he took out the silver without saying a word and offered to redeem the girl, which aroused everyone's imagination.

There are many women in Qixia Town, who have always been secretly infatuated with the handsome and powerful Master Li. Recently, the only one in the town who can compete with Li Ming in this respect is his apprentice Yang Guo, and Bai Zhantang has to step back a little.

It’s just that Li Ming has never shown interest in the opposite sex. Since his rise, he has been busy with the business of the martial arts school, so no one dared to ask too much.

But who would have thought that today there would be a woman who caught Master Li’s eye?

For a moment, many girls in the town cast jealous glances at Jiang Yuyan.

There were also many people shouting in their hearts, it turns out that Master Li likes this kind of weak and pitiful style, if they had known earlier they should have dressed in this direction!

Otherwise, it’s not too late to change your style now, right?

There were also many warriors, as well as guys who were secretly stalking in Qixia Town, watching this scene from afar, their minds racing.

With Li Ming's current strength, there are too many forces in the world that want to win him over. Even if they cannot win him over, they should at least try to make friends with them as much as possible.

It’s just that Qianming Martial Arts School has always been indifferent, making it difficult for many forces to take action.

Many people have thought about catering to his preferences, but after observing him for so long, they couldn't find any hobbies of Li Ming.

But what is happening now has made many people think carefully.

Li Ming ignored the gazes around him. With his current identity, his every move would attract the attention of countless people, so he didn't bother to care what others thought.

Lin Pingzhi had already taken out five silver notes worth one hundred taels and handed them to Xiao Cui.

This made Xiao Cui feel very embarrassed. She didn't know whether to answer it or not.

He couldn't help but look to Sai Diaochan for help.

Sai Diaochan is the boss lady after all, so her reaction is quick.

After being stunned for a moment, his face immediately broke into a smile.

"Hey, Master Li, what are you talking about? Master Li likes this girl, so I'll give her to you. It's a rare opportunity for Yihonglou to have the same vision as Master Li. It's our honor."

Sai Diaochan said this and winked at Xiao Cui.

"Oh, yes!"

Xiao Cui also quickly signaled with her eyes to let those people let go of Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yuyan, who suddenly regained her freedom, finally reacted and was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But their words of goodwill did not receive any response.

Lin Pingzhi still had a gloomy look on his face and stuffed the banknotes in his hand.

Before Xiao Cui could react, five hundred taels of silver notes appeared in her hand.

Don't give her a chance to refuse at all.

"Let's go."

Lin Pingzhi called out to Jiang Yuyan and asked her to follow.

Although Lin Pingzhi did not know Li Ming's sudden intention to save Jiang Yuyan, he would not be as superficial as others and think that Li Ming was attracted by Jiang Yuyan's appearance.

The master doesn't seem to be particularly fond of women. Besides, with Li Ming's current strength, as long as he nods his hand or makes some hints, countless stunning beauties will be sent to him by all parties. There is no need to go through so much trouble at all.

The master's vision would never be wrong, and Lin Pingzhi also showed a somewhat warm expression towards Jiang Yuyan for the first time.

"I am...free?"

The surprise came so suddenly that Jiang Yuyan took a moment to react and accept the fact.

But then she thought about it and rejected her idea.

To be precise, he was not free, but was bought by Li Ming.

Jiang Yuyan hurriedly wiped the tears from her eyes, then stood up and followed Li Ming and Lin Pingzhi.

After seeing this scene, everyone at Tongfu Inn finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Sai Diaochan wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say it. She just looked at Xiao Cui reproachfully.

"Why are you accepting other people's banknotes? I haven't finished what I'm saying yet..."

Xiao Cui looked aggrieved: "I don't know what happened. Before I knew it, the banknote was in my hand."

Seeing that nothing was wrong, the people from Yihonglou turned around and went back to do their business. Everyone from Tongfu Inn also returned to the inn.

Tong Xiangyu and the others were still discussing what had just happened, while Bai Zhantang had already approached the durian with full of curiosity.

“Is this thing… for eating?”

Bai Zhantang had an expression full of disbelief.

At least he has never seen this kind of fruit in all his years of traveling. It should be a specialty of Lingnan, right?

Bai Zhantang thought to himself, Master Li knew Lin Pingzhi, and Sai Diaochan also knew him, so she should have been to Lingnan, so it must be the food.

Bai Zhantang recalled the method of eating durian that Lin Pingzhi had just taught him, and quickly opened the durian.

As Bai Zhantang moved, a strong smell suddenly filled the lobby of the inn.

Tong Xiangyu and the others who were still talking stopped talking at once, frowned, and looked back at Bai Zhantang.

Xiao Guo even pinched his nose and asked, "Lao Bai, what is this strange smell?"

Bai Zhantang was speechless. He pointed at the already opened durian on the table and pursed his lips.

"This is the thing. Can it... be eaten?" Tong Xiangyu also came over curiously.

Even Li Dazui, who was in the kitchen, was suffocated by the smell.

Everyone in the inn gathered in front of the durian, and everyone had a different expression.

They looked at each other, and then Li Dazui said, "This... Based on my many years of experience as a chef, the weirder the taste, the better it should taste... right?"

He wasn't sure either.

Although County Magistrate Lou was his uncle, Li Dazui had never seen this thing before.

"Forget it. The things Magistrate Lou sent shouldn't harm us. Didn't Master Li's disciple say that he often ate them before? Let's try them too."

Tong Xiangyu suggested to everyone.

After she said this, several people in the inn hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out to take a piece of durian and put it into their mouths hesitantly.

After a moment, everyone had completely different reactions.

Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui’s eyes suddenly widened, the muscles on their faces twitched, then they rushed outside with their mouths covered, spit out the durian, their faces full of bitterness.

"Pah, pah, pah, it's so disgusting!"

For a moment, both of them began to doubt their lives.

What did I just put in my mouth? Is that really edible fruit?

However, in sharp contrast to them, after Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong took a bite and savored it for a while, they all showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

"Hmm, so smooth, fragrant and soft, so delicious!" Guo Furong praised.

At the same time, Tong Xiangyu nodded repeatedly.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that this thing doesn't taste good, it's actually quite delicious!"

Bai Zhantang and Li Dazui looked at their reactions and couldn't help but doubt their lives.

Is what they eat the same as what you eat?

Bai Zhantang savored the still strong but unbearable taste in his mouth, then walked over unwillingly.

"Boss, let me have a taste of this piece in your hand."

Bai Zhantang took a piece and put it in his mouth.

But the next second, he rushed to the door of the inn and vomited desperately.

Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong looked at each other, wondering why he reacted so strongly.

Soon, several people in the inn started a heated debate about whether this thing tasted good or not, and no one could convince anyone else.

On the other side, Li Ming and Lin Pingzhi had already brought Jiang Yuyan back to the martial arts gym.

The martial arts hall is filled with busy disciples.

Since the martial arts school was reorganized and divided internally, the disciples' division of labor has had different emphases.

Some are still practicing diligently, but some in the External Affairs Hall are busy with miscellaneous tasks, and those in the Weapon Hall and the Pharmacy Hall also have their own related matters.

Therefore, the martial arts school now looks more professional and more structured.

It was Jiang Yuyan’s first time to visit a place like a martial arts gym. After entering and looking around, she felt that everything was very new.

But at the same time, in such an unfamiliar environment, Jiang Yuyan was a little nervous, especially since she had just experienced a low point in her life. Her cowardly and timid self contrasted with the spirited disciples in the martial arts hall. She felt even more guilty and could not help but follow the footsteps of Li Ming and Lin Pingzhi.

Although the other party has basically not spoken to me since he bought me, he also hasn't forced me to do anything.

But Jiang Yuyan still followed behind him consciously, without any intention of escaping.

Soon, they arrived at the grand and spacious hall of the martial arts hall.

Jiang Yuyan stood there timidly, her fingers tightly grasping the corner of her clothes, feeling a little nervous.

However, she would look up and glance at Li Ming from time to time.

She always felt that Li Ming, with his looks and temperament, would never be a bad person and would never hurt her.

As soon as Li Ming sat down, his disciples came to ask him something.

At the same time, there are also some disputes. Now that martial arts schools are large in scale and their internal divisions are complex, there are always various situations arising.

"Master, the batch of refined iron that our Weapon Hall said it wanted to purchase has not arrived yet, but the Foreign Affairs Hall used the money to pay for the Pharmacy Hall first. We don't accept this!"

"We in the Foreign Affairs Hall also follow the rules. Your Weapon Hall purchased things some time ago and has almost used up this month's quota. The money in our Foreign Affairs Hall is not extra money in the account out of thin air, so we naturally have to be careful with our budget. I will let you wait in line for a while."

"That won't work..."

The disciples were arguing with each other, and Li Ming felt a little helpless listening to them.

After finally mediating for them and coming up with a plan that both sides can accept, the disciples from the other courtyard came to complain again, saying that they were dissatisfied with the new rules issued by the Law Enforcement Hall...

Li Ming was busy for a long time before he finally dealt with all their matters.

However, this scene was seen by Jiang Yuyan, and it was mixed with some different emotions.

Li Ming's attitude of being a superior made Jiang Yuyan look at him with new eyes more than just his appearance.

At this time, Li Ming already had a thick halo in Jiang Yuyan's eyes.

After the matter was settled and the disciples left, the place finally became quiet for a while.

Jiang Yuyan stood aside, her heart in her throat.

She didn't know how Li Ming would deal with her. Seeing that this martial arts school was quite large, would he let her do odd jobs here? Or...

Jiang Yuyan was making random guesses when she heard Li Ming speak.

"Girl, don't worry too much. Our martial arts school is a reasonable place and we won't make things difficult for you."

"Thank you for your help, benefactor. I will never forget your kindness. I don't know if there is anything I can do for you. Please tell me what I want to do. I am willing to do my best to repay you."

"We don't lack people in other areas of our martial arts school, but there is one thing. I am short of a disciple. Are you willing to join our martial arts school to learn martial arts?"

When these words were spoken, Lin Pingzhi next to him was shocked.

I expected Li Ming to treat this girl well, but I didn't expect that he would accept her as his disciple.

All in all, since Yang Guo, Li Ming has not accepted any disciples for more than half a year, which shows how precious this position is.

Many core disciples in the martial arts school are eyeing this position.

How many people dream of performing well, catching Li Ming's attention, and becoming the rare fourth disciple of the martial arts school.

Everyone can see that the effort spent on training and the resources available to direct disciples are incomparable to those of other people in the martial arts school.

But no one expected that after so many people had been trying to compete for half a year, Li Ming actually wanted to give it to Jiang Yuyan?
If the many disciples in the martial arts school knew about this, they would probably be heartbroken.

"I didn't expect the museum owner to value this girl so much, but I wonder what's so special about her?" Lin Pingzhi thought to himself.

"Learn martial arts?"

Jiang Yuyan stared with her beautiful big eyes, pointing at her nose and asking in confusion.
