Chapter 9 Servant
After telling Xiao Yu some rules of the morning sun, the young man in purple continued to talk about the fourth young master.
The fourth young master is not Xia Yuan's descendant, but Xia Yuan's eldest brother and the little grandson of the elder of the Shooting Villa.
Among the direct descendants of the young generation of the shooting sun villa, there are thirteen talented teenagers who have been inherited by the Houyi god at the beginning of their practice. These 13 teenagers are the thirteen young masters with the highest status in the morning sun.
"There are more than a hundred young masters in the shooting sun villa, but only these thirteen young masters can cultivate their own attendants. Counting you, there are seventy-nine attendants around the fourth young master, and you are the only disciple recruited from the outside of the villa.
When they said this, the two came to a wide and high gate.
"Tianhengyuan? Is this fourth young master named Xia Heng?
Looking at the door plaque, Xiao Yu turned her eyes to the four gatekeepers standing on both sides of the gate.
Xiao Yu specially looked at the blue clothes of the four gatekeepers and found that their blue clothes all had black edges.
"The fourth young master is very good to treat his servants. Don't be nervous when you see the fourth young master. When the fourth young master asks you for a while, just answer honestly."
With that, the young man in blue walked into the yard with Xiao Yu.
Entering the yard, Xiao Yu first noticed the wall of the inner courtyard.
"Big cities and small cities, big courtyards and small courtyards, it seems that all people with status like to circle themselves in a small circle."
The inner courtyard is not small, but there is only one large house except for rockery, garden and gazebo.
The main door of the big house is open. There are two attendants in purple standing on both sides of the main door, and their purple clothes also have blue edges.
After glanced at the two purple attendants, Xiao Yu lowered her head and followed the purple attendant who brought him here into the main hall.
The main hall is not small, and the decoration is very grand.
In the main hall, except for a young man in white sitting on the main seat, there are only two maids in purple and two maids in green.
"Young master, I have brought Xia Qinian!"
"Uh-huh!"
The young man in white nodded gently and turned his eyes to Xiao Yu.
Seeing that the young man in white was looking at himself, Xiao Yu quickly knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Xia Qinian, a disciple of the outer door, I have met the fourth young masters!"
After looked at Xiao Yu, the fourth young master nodded and asked with a smile, "Are you from the Xia clan in Lianshan City?"
"The fourth young master, Qi Nian's father is from Lianshan City, but Qi Nian grew up in a small town around Lianshan City."
The fourth young master nodded, looked at Xiao Yu's eyes and said in a low voice, "No matter what you come from, as long as you are loyal, I will never treat you badly."
"I am very valued by the young master, and I will live up to the high expectations of the young master in the beginning of the year!"
"Uh-huh!"
Nodding to Xiao Yu, the fourth young master turned his eyes to the young man in purple who brought Xiao Yu to him.
"Zhong Fang, has the residence of Qi Nian been arranged?"
"When the star fell, I had already been ordered to go down, and it should have been arranged now."
"Hmm! You can take Qi Nian down!"
"I'm leaving!"
After taking Xiao Yu out of the inner courtyard, Xia Zhongfang took Xiao Yu to the residence he prepared for Xiao Yu and said with a smile, "Brother Qi Nian, you have met the young master. From now on, we will be brothers who work together. If you encounter something you don't understand in the future, you can come and ask your brother at any time.
"Thank you for taking care of me!"
After a while, Xiao Yu followed Xia Zhongfang to a small house.
Although the house is not big, it also has a main hall, a bedroom and a study.
After taking Xiao Yu to look at the whole house, Xia Zhongfang smiled and said, "How's it going? It's quite satisfactory!"
"I'm very satisfied. Thank you for your arrangement!"
Xia Zhongfang nodded and looked at Xiao Yu and said with a smile, "On the surface, the status of us servants is a little lower than those inner disciples, but our actual status in this villa is higher than those inner disciples."
After sitting down in the living room, Xia Zhongfang told Xiao Yu about the benefits of being a servant.
Compared with the inner disciples, the attendants are much more free. When they are not summoned, the attendants are free to arrange their own time.
Of course, this freedom is not absolute freedom.
Generally speaking, attendants are trying to improve their cultivation when they are not summoned.
The attendants can't teach arrow skills like the disciples of the inner door, but the arrow skills practiced by the attendants are not lower than those of the inner disciples.
Inner disciples rarely have the opportunity to ask the elders for arrow skills, but the attendants can often ask their masters for arrow skills.
"Inner disciples can go to Tianfeng Valley to practice, and we servants can also go to Tianfeng Valley to practice."
"Tianfeng Valley?"
Xia Zhongfang took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Tianfeng Valley is the place where the disciples of the villa practice archery skills. When you practice to the realm of Da Zhoutian, you can also go to Tianfeng Valley to practice archery skills."
"Big Sunday? I don't know when I can advance to the realm of the Great Sunday?"
In fact, Xiao Yu wanted to ask Xia Zhongfang about the confusion he encountered when he advanced to Xiao Zhoutian, but he still couldn't help asking.
Xiao Yu has a feeling that the problems he encountered during his advanced Xiao Zhoutian are likely to involve some of his own secrets.
After telling Xiao Yu about some things in Tianheng Courtyard, Xia Zhongfang left.
Not long after Xia Zhongfang left, a maid in green came in with a food box.
"Good boy! My maidservant's name is Xiaoyun. In the future, the prince's three meals will be arranged by Xiaoyun. If the prince wants to eat something, Xiaoyun will prepare it for him.
The maid said as she took out the things in the food box.
A plate of beef, a plate of chicken, a plate of tofu, a plate of green vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a pot of wine are twice as many dishes than Xiao Yu's previous meal, and much more exquisite.
Maybe she was not so hungry, or maybe Xiao Yu wanted to change her previous habit of eating. This time, Xiao Yu did not devour as much as when she ate before.
After Xiaoyun cleaned up the table and left, Xiao Yu went straight to the study.
The real Xia Qinian likes reading, and Xiao Yu also likes it.
It's a coincidence that Xiao Yu took the "Sanyuan Arrow Skill" that he had already completely memorized.
"It seems that this "Sanyuan Archery" is really a very ordinary archery skill, and I don't know what the real archery is like?"
Xiao Yu casually turned over a few pages, put down the "Three-yuan Archery" and picked up a new one.
"Seven Stars and Pearls! Will this be a better archery skill than Sanyuan Archery?
After reading the whole book, Xiao Yu found that this "Seven Stars" is indeed a better archery skill than "Sanyuan Arrow Technique".
"Although this "Seven-Star Lianzhu" is a little better than "Sanyuan Arrow Skills", from the Qigong practice method contained in it, this "Seven-Star Lianzhu" should also be just an ordinary archery skill."
After putting down the book Seven Stars, Xiao Yu looked through the other books on the bookshelf.
There are more than 30 archery secrets on the bookshelf, but the best archery, in Xiao Yu's opinion, must be an ordinary thing.
"How can there be any secret book on this bookshelf?"
She shook her head with a smile. Xiao Yu lit the oil lamp and casually picked up an arrow secret book and read it.
Xiao Yu began to read when it was just dark. She saw it late at night before she returned to the bedroom to rest.
The next day, Xiao Yu just finished breakfast, and Xia Zhongfang came.
"Brother Qi Nian, did you sleep well last night?"
"Thank you for your concern. I slept well in Qi Nian."
In the greeting, Xiao Yu closed the door and followed Xia Zhongfang to the martial arts arena in Tianheng Courtyard.
The martial arts arena is very large, more than 20 feet wide and more than 40 feet long, but there is only a gray-haired old man standing in this martial arts arena at this time.
"Other servants who have nothing to do should go to that Tianfeng Valley to practice!"
Thinking about it, Xiao Yu quickly followed Xia Zhongfang and came to the old man.
The old man's face was a little sickly pale, and his arms were as long as his knees, which was very eye-catching.
"Horse, Master!"
With Xia Zhongfang, Xiao Yu bowed to the old man.
"Uh-huh!"
He nodded to Xiao Yu, and the old man looked up and down at Xiao Yu.
"Have you only practiced Sanyuan Arrow Skill before?"
As soon as he said a word, the old man coughed violently.
Looking at Xia Zhongfang, Xiao Yu bowed and said, "Yes!"
After the old man stopped coughing, he said to Xiao Yu, "Show your archery skills!"
When Xiao Yu left Luo Xingtian, he did not bring a bow and arrow. Therefore, he could only use the bow and arrow on his back of Xia Zhongfang to perform the ternary arrow skill.
Xia Zhongfang's long bow is much heavier than Xiao Yu's previous long bow, but Xiao Yu still perfectly displayed the "Sanyuan Arrow Technique".
"The foundation is very solid!"
"Some masters praise!"
After nodding to Xiao Yu, the old man turned his head to Xia Zhongfang and said, "Zhong Fang, you pass on Linghegong to him. When his cultivation reaches Xiao Zhoutian, you can let him come to me."
"Yes, Master!"
The old man spoke smoothly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately coughed again.
With a deep cough, the old man left the martial arts arena with a very fast body.
Seeing Xiao Yu in a daze in the direction of the old man's departure, Xia Zhongfang smiled and said, "Before teaching a disciple's archery, Master will take a look at the foundation of this disciple. For the disciples with a better foundation, the archery skills taught by the master will be more exquisite. Master just praised you for your solid foundation, and the archery skills passed on to you in the future must be very exquisite. In the future, if you learn exquisite archery skills, don't forget to give guidance to you!"
"Brother is joking!"
"Give me the bow!"
After taking the long bow from Xiao Yu's hand, Xia Zhongfang demonstrated "Linghe Gong" to Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu has practiced the crane skill in the Five Birds Opera before, and it is naturally very easy to master the spirit crane skill taught by Xia Zhongfang.
However, in order not to arouse suspicion, Xiao Yu forcibly integrated the set of martial arts he had practiced before against the enemy with a bow when learning Linghegong with Xia Zhongfang.
Xia Zhongfang saw the shadow of Xiao Yu's previous martial arts skills in Xiao Yu's strange movements, and he no longer felt that Xiao Yu's strange movements were strange.
