Xu Ning and Han Huxiao entered the room.
The woman in white and the handsome man also followed in.
"Little friend Xu Ning has such a cultivation level at such a young age. I don't know where he learned from?"
Han Huxiao praised Xu Ning, but in his conversation he was asking about Xu Ning's background.
"My martial arts are all learned from the Zhuang clan..."
Xu Ning's words were half true and half false: "It's just that the family encountered a war, and I was forced to choose to leave and go into exile."
Xu Ning didn't want to reveal that he was from Feiyun State.
Although he escaped safely from the mine, Xu Ning was still afraid that the news would leak and attract the attention of the family behind the mine. Even though the possibility of this was very low, Xu Ning still decided to be more cautious.
Hearing Xu Ning's words, Han Huxiao stroked his beard.
There is nothing wrong with what Xu Ning said on the surface.
In Jifeng State, wars broke out frequently, and disputes between families and sects were very frequent.
There are not a few people who lost their homes because of the war.
It's just that Xu Ning didn't introduce too much information about his family, obviously he didn't want to mention it.
Han Huxiao pondered for a moment, but finally did not continue to ask.
"In troubled times and disputes, people are like a lonely boat in the sea. Wherever they go, they can't help themselves..."
Han Huxiao sighed in front of Xu Ning.
"Little friend Xu Ning, to be honest, I am very satisfied with you."
Han Huxiao went on to say: "Next, I will tell you about our Shadow Moon Martial Arts Gym. If you think there is no problem, you can decide whether to join our gym and become the deputy head."
Xu Ning nodded: "All ears."
"I, Shadow Moon Martial Arts Academy, although it appears to be just teaching people martial arts, but in fact, we are also involved in other businesses."
Han Huxiao said: "Every restaurant, brothel, and gambling house on Fanhua Street has our shares. We don't participate in the operation, but if there is trouble, our martial arts school needs to send people to solve it."
"Besides that, we also have escort errands. Caravans often hire us to escort goods, or directly escort caravans. This part of the income is not a small proportion for our martial arts school."
As Han Huxiao said, Xu Ning was also pondering.
What Han Huxiao said, more generally, is granting martial arts, suppressing the field, and escorting the darts.
Before, Xu Ning was still guessing why the Shadow Moon Martial Arts Hall was so rich.
Listening to it now, he also understood.
"If you become the deputy curator, you don't need to come to teach martial arts."
Han Huxiao continued: "You just need to, when your subordinates can't solve the troubles in Fanhua Street, you go and solve them. Or when someone comes to kick the hall, you are responsible for repelling them."
"As for betting on darts, you can choose whether to do it or not. If you don't bet on darts and do the two things mentioned above, you can get thirty taels of gold every month; In the martial arts hall, the remaining 70% will be distributed by those who participate in escorting according to their contributions."
Xu Ning listened silently.
"This Shadow Moon Martial Arts House is quite generous..."
Xu Ning was quite satisfied with the conditions Han Huxiao said.
"How about it, is little friend Xu Ning satisfied?"
Han Huxiao asked.
Xu Ning weighed it again for a moment, and finally responded: "Satisfied."
Hearing Xu Ning's response, Han Huxiao smiled brightly: "Okay! Since this is the case, from now on, Xu Ning, you will be the deputy head of our Shadow Moon Martial Arts Academy!"
"I have met the owner of the cold hall."
Xu Ning was also savvy, and stood up to salute Han Huxiao.
This also confirmed his new identity.
"Han Yue, Du Che."
Han Huxiao gave the woman in white and the handsome man a look.
The two understood each other.
"I've seen Vice-Master Xu!"
"Deputy Master Xu, this is the little girl Hanyue and her lover Du Che."
Han Huxiao introduced: "Although you are similar in age, in this Shadow Moon Martial Arts Hall, you can send them as juniors. If you need to run errands, just let them do it."
"Master Han is too polite."
Xu Ning just smiled.
"Xu Ning, where are you now?"
Han Huxiao asked Xu Ning.
"I've only come to Chunlin County not long ago, and I'm still temporarily staying in the restaurant."
Xu Ning replied.
Han Hu Xiao said: "Since you have entered the martial arts gym, you don't need to live in a restaurant. There are still many vacant rooms in our martial arts gym. If you don't mind, you can just move here."
Xu Ning thought for a moment, then responded directly: "Thank you very much."
Right now, I don't have a fixed place to live, and moving to the martial arts gym also saves the cost of buying real estate in the city.
"In this case, tonight, let's go to the restaurant on Fanhua Street to get together and let the instructors of the martial arts gym and shopkeepers on the bustling street recognize the deputy head of the gymnasium!"
Han Huxiao made a final decision.
That night, Xu Ning was invited to a big restaurant on Fanhua Street.
Xu Ning took the opportunity to recognize the faces of those people related to Shadow Moon Martial Arts.
Afterwards, Xu Ning directly checked out of the room and moved to live in the martial arts hall.
Xu Ning knew that his new life in Chunlin County was about to begin.
…
Half a month has passed.
During this period, Xu Ning stayed in the martial arts hall, and did not encounter anything that needed to be dealt with by himself.
This made Xu Ning still a little uncomfortable, as if he was eating idle food, doing nothing and still getting a lot of money.
"Deputy Master Xu, it's time to eat."
When it was time for dinner, Han Yue called Xu Ning.
At this time, Hanyue changed into a light green dress. Although it was not a strong outfit, her straight and slender thighs were still eye-catching.
"coming."
Xu Ning came out of the room.
In this martial arts hall, there is a special cook who is responsible for cooking three meals a day.
Every meal time, Xu Ning would be called to have dinner together.
In the hall, Xu Ning, Han Huxiao, Han Yue and Du Che were sitting at the table, surrounded by maidservants.
"Deputy head Xu, tomorrow I'm going out with Du Che to escort the escorts. I'll leave this martial arts gym to you for the time being."
Han Huxiao made a rare request to Xu Ning.
"Darts?"
Xu Ning put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands: "Don't you need me to follow?"
"Need not."
Han Huxiao waved his hand: "The guest this time directly called my name, saying that the goods are important, and I must personally escort them. The reward they promised is very generous, so I agreed."
"What guest?"
Hanyue asked.
"It's an out-of-town merchant who came to Chunlin County to buy goods." Han Huxiao explained, "Because the goods are precious, they are afraid that there will be problems on the way."
"Hanyue, when I'm not in the martial arts hall, you have to help deputy head Xu."
Han Huxiao said to his daughter Hanyue: "Try to deal with small things as much as possible, and if you can't handle them, then go and trouble the Vice-Master Xu."
"Master Han is too polite, I need to do more."
Before Hanyue answered, Xu Ning spoke directly.
These days, Xu Ning insists on practicing martial arts every day to cover up the fact that he is doing nothing.
Although with his talent, it is impossible to improve even the slightest through simple cultivation.
But living under the eyes of others, I still have to cover it up with diligence.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to justify a sudden promotion in the future.
Han Huxiao was very satisfied with Xu Ning's attitude.
After getting along for half a month, he found that Xu Ning was a very good character, without the self-confidence and arrogance of a young genius.
Getting along with Xu Ning will make people feel very relaxed.
In just half a month, everyone in the martial arts hall had a good impression of Xu Ning.
"Du Che, go back and tidy up, go to bed early tonight, don't be too late to get up early tomorrow."
After the meal, Han Huxiao asked Du Che.
"Understood, Master."
Du Che stood up, clasped his fists and nodded to accept the order.
When he lowered his head, he glanced at Xu Ning lightly.
This glance was caught by Xu Ning.
After being promoted to the state of mind, Xu Ning's senses are extremely sensitive.
This Du Che, on the surface, is obedient to his words, humble and polite, but Xu Ning always feels that he has a trace of hostility towards him.
But Xu Ning didn't think much about this trace of hostility.
He could see that Du Che had feelings for Han Yue.
After she came to the martial arts hall, Han Yue was instructed by Han Huxiao to take good care of herself, so she got closer.
It's normal for Du Che to feel uncomfortable.
But despite guessing so, Xu Ning is still wary of Du Che.
Defenses can not do without.
