"Tiezhu, have you really thought this through? Taking a master is not child’s play. Once you enter my Shin, you must be loyal and never betray , or else I won’t go easy on you."
Tiezhu nodded, "When my mom was alive, she told that whoever treats us well, we should treat them well. Young Sect Leader, you’re my idol, everyone in the group says you’re great, so you must be good to Tiezhu too. As long as you don’t abandon , Tiezhu will follow you always!"
When Tiezhu’s mother was ntioned, An Yiqing’s mind recalled the information she saw this morning. Tiezhu’s mother was a widow living in a destitute mountain village. When Tiezhu was less than a year old, his father fell and died while gathering herbs on a mountain, leaving behind a baby needing care.
Tiezhu’s mother bore her grief and struggled to raise Tiezhu until he was five years old, only for misfortune to strike this poor woman again.
Tiezhu had a high fever for a whole week, exceeding forty degrees. In the end, due to lack of tily treatnt, his brain got damaged, and he beca sowhat silly. Yet, Tiezhu’s mother never gave up her son, teaching him to read and earn money for school. She told him that even though his mind was different from others, he was still her treasure.
So, despite being ridiculed since childhood, Tiezhu retained a bit of beauty in his heart.
But it seed that the heavens liked to play jokes on this unfortunate mother and son. When Tiezhu just graduated from middle school, his mother died suddenly from overwork in the fields. Afterwards, Tiezhu dropped out and ca to Xuandu City alone with a hundred yuan gifted by neighbors. Following a series of twists, Tiezhu joined the Xuanqing Sect as a kitchen helper.
Bringing her thoughts back, An Yiqing looked at Tiezhu, who was visibly joyful and excited, and suddenly felt moved.
"Tiezhu, have you ever thought about healing the injury from your childhood?" An Yiqing suddenly felt that Tiezhu should have the right to choose his own life. If he wanted to beco a normal person, she wouldn’t oppose.
Tiezhu was sowhat stunned. The fever from childhood had made him forget many things, and poor dical conditions with limited financial capability made him never consider curing his mind. Over ti, he just got used to it.
"Young Sect Leader, if I don’t want to heal my mind, will you dislike ?" Tiezhu asked hesitantly, looking timidly at An Yiqing.
An Yiqing smiled and shook her head, "No, I really like you as you are now."
"Can I choose not to treat it then? Will it affect anything in the future?"
"No, it won’t have any impact."
Tiezhu’s eyes glead instantly, "In that case, I won’t treat it! Anyway, I’m fine like this now, I can eat a lot of delicious food every day, and I’m content!"
An Yiqing’s mouth twitched; why were there so many foodies around her?
"Tiezhu, why don’t you want treatnt? Don’t you wish for your condition to be improved?"
"My mom used to say, whether rich or poor, disabled or healthy, as long as you live happily. I’ve lived happily all these years. Sotis I see everyone worry over things that seem mysterious to , and I feel that if I healed my mind and ended up like that, I’d rather keep my silly self now, at least living with ease."
An Yiqing wholeheartedly agreed, nodding knowingly, "Your mother was a clever woman. Since you don’t want treatnt, I won’t force you. If you change your mind, feel free to co to anyti. Tomorrow at nine o’clock in the morning, we’ll perform the apprenticeship ceremony here. From tomorrow onwards, you’ll be my second disciple under An Yiqing. I was originally a dicine Sect disciple, but considering your high martial arts talent, you only need to learn martial arts, no need to learn dical Arts. Tiezhu, I hope you always maintain such a rare innocent heart."
Tiezhu straightened up and replied firmly, "Yes! I’ll never disappoint Master!"
The next morning at nine o’clock, under the envious and grateful gaze of Chiang Yu and other core mbers of Xuanqing Sect, Tiezhu officially beca the second apprentice disciple of An Yiqing.
Over the next three days, An Yiqing systematically and thoroughly imparted teachings to Tiezhu, resolving many of his previous unclear or ambiguous issues. Then, she handed over the copy of the "Shennong Nine Style" to Tiezhu for him to comprehend on his own.
