Long Xiangtian said quickly: "But, if you hadn't scolded me to wake me up, I don't know what I would be like now. Maybe, I would think that I would be a useless person in my life and it would be impossible for me to beat Xiao Wuji. I would never believe in my own abilities and I don't know where I went wrong."
The old man patted Long Xiangtian on the back and said, "You have to remember, you are my disciple, how can you not have that ability? Since I will teach you this set of boxing, it means that I have taken a fancy to you and believe that you can do it. The master leads you to the door, but the practice depends on the individual."
Long Xiangtian immediately clasped his hands together and bowed to the old man, "Disciple is grateful for Master's teachings. I, Long Xiangtian, will definitely not let Master down and will practice all the boxing techniques that Master taught me."
The old man quickly supported Long Xiangtian, indicating that he accepted Long Xiangtian's greeting. "Master, I understand your intention. In the days ahead, I will rely on you."
Long Xiangtian said confidently: "Master, rest assured. In the coming days, I will practice well and nothing will happen again. I will give you a satisfactory result."
The old man smiled and said, "Okay."
Xiaomi was very happy when she saw this scene, thinking that the elder brother would not have any problems anymore. "That's great, that's great. Now the elder brother can practice well and find the feeling of practicing before. There is someone to talk to me again."
Seeing Xiaomi so happy, the old man pointed at Xiaomi and said, "You, you have been busy playing these days, pestering me and calling me big brother all day long. Have you memorized all the medical skills I asked you to memorize?"
Xiaomi pretended to be aggrieved, and quickly hid behind Long Xiangtian and said, "Big brother, grandpa is mean to me."
Long Xiangtian didn't say anything, just smiled at the old man.
Xiaomi continued, "Big brother, I just want to play with you. I want to hear you tell me about the things you have outside."
Long Xiangtian squatted down, rubbed Xiaomi's head and said, "Xiaomi, be good, listen to your grandfather, learn all the medical skills, and complete the tasks your grandfather assigns to you. It won't be too late to come to your brother to tell you about the outside world."
Xiaomi refused, "I don't want it, I don't want it. When I finish all those things, you will be leaving soon, big brother." As she spoke, Xiaomi was about to cry.
Long Xiangtian suddenly felt soft-hearted and didn't know what to do, so he could only coax her, "Xiaomi, don't cry. It won't look good if you cry. Don't worry, when you finish the task your grandfather gave you, you'll have plenty of time to listen to your brother tell you about the outside world. I can't learn everything your grandfather taught me so quickly."
Xiaomi wiped her tears with her hands and asked, "Really?"
Long Xiangtian said very confidently: "Of course it is true. Don't you believe what big brother said? If you don't believe it, you can ask your grandfather."
Xiaomi turned around, glanced at the old man, then turned back and said, "Okay, when I finish the task my grandfather gave me, I will come to find big brother to tell me interesting stories from outside." After that, he stretched out a finger and said, "Pin it down."
Long Xiangtian smiled, then stretched out his finger and made a pinky promise with Xiaomi.
The old man looked at this and felt very warm in his heart.
Long Xiangtian stood up and said to the old man, "Master, I will go practice my skills now."
The old man nodded and said, "You must practice well this time. Don't raise your expectations too high. Just do it moderately. Go and study the boxing techniques I taught you carefully. How well you practice depends on yourself."
Long Xiangtian nodded, "Well, Master, don't worry, I won't be as anxious as last time." Long Xiangtian actually knew that the old man wanted him to go down and comprehend what the old man taught him by himself.
The old man saw that Long Xiangtian performed very well this time, and just now he asked Xiaomi to go down and study medicine seriously. Xiaomi listened, so he was naturally very happy. He took advantage of his good mood to teach Long Xiangtian a few moves. "Apprentice, Master will teach you a few more moves today, you watch carefully."
Long Xiangtian was very excited and couldn't wait for the old man to teach him a few more moves. He immediately replied, "Okay, Master, please."
The old man walked over and performed a few moves. Long Xiangtian stared at every part of the old man without blinking, fearing that he would be careless and forget a move, so he had to watch it carefully.
After the old man finished teaching, Xiaomi came forward and asked, "Big brother, do you remember all of grandpa's moves? How come I suddenly forgot them all at once? I'm just curious about how you remember these moves, they are so messed up, and there are so many movements."
The old man explained, "That's because you know nothing about martial arts and boxing. Of course you can't understand or remember them. It's just like the words you see in medical books every day. They are composed of multiple radicals and structures."
Xiaomi shook her head, thinking about the medical skills she read every day. It seemed that it was just like what grandpa said, that they were all composed of radicals and structures. For example, the "Yangzi" in Long Xiangtian's name of big brother, the radical is the "Li Hand" radical, plus the character next to it, it is the "Yang" character, and the "Tian" character is composed of a "mouth" with a cross inside, it becomes the "Tian" character. Wow, so that's how it is. I don't know how I learned so many Chinese characters, it feels so complicated, but how did I recognize those characters so quickly? It's amazing, is martial arts also like this? It's incredible. Xiaomi felt that what the old man said made a lot of sense, and nodded continuously and said, "That makes a lot of sense. So big brother, do you understand it?"
Long Xiangtian replied to Xiaomi: "I understand it, but there are still some flaws in a few places."
Xiaomi said in amazement: "Wow, show me some tricks, quick, quick, quick."
Long Xiangtian showed off a few times without being modest, and Xiaomi clapped his hands in amazement: "Wow, big brother, you are so amazing. You remembered it after just one try. It's so helpful."
The old man was a little jealous and asked Xiaomi: "Why didn't you praise Grandpa just now?"
Xiaomi said, "Grandpa has always been great, okay? Do I need to praise him?"
Xiaomi's words made the old man laugh so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. Although Long Xiangtian remembered everything after watching the old man demonstrate it once, there were still a few places that needed a little guidance during practice, and the old man was also very kind and taught seriously.
Xiaomi kept praising Long Xiangtian, "Wow, big brother is awesome, you really are worthy of being my grandfather's apprentice." While praising Long Xiangtian, she was afraid that her grandfather would be angry, so she added that Long Xiangtian really was worthy of being the old man's apprentice.
After Long Xiangtian finished practicing the moves the old man had just demonstrated, he stopped and did not continue to practice them repeatedly. Instead, he asked the old man, "Master, what was that move called? The move was very strange. It was a little difficult to master it. Fortunately, I was able to control it basically."
The old man explained: "The move just now is called the fox borrowing the tiger's might."
