Chapter 1326: Chapter 1148: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

"Brother Ye, I am Long Aixi, the son of Long San," Long Aixi hurried over, gave Brother Ye a salute, but Brother Ye just let him rise quickly and patted him on the shoulder with his palm.

This pat might appear to an outsider as just a greeting from an elder to a younger one, but those in the know could see the significance.

It was a martial arts master testing the young man’s skill.

Seeing how Brother Ye patted him twice, Long Aixi’s expression changed from a smile to a forced smile, and his posture straightened even more until Brother Ye finished patting, then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Brother Ye then laughed, "Truly a fine son taught by Jianxi, tall, sturdy, and with commendable martial arts skills. It seems you haven’t slacked in your training, hahaha!"

"Thank you for the praise, Uncle Ye, but Xiao’ai fully acknowledges that his skills are less than half of Uncle Ye’s. Xiao’ai must practice even harder in the future," Long Aixi responded, looking particularly uneasy but honest.

"Having this attitude is naturally good. If you wish to follow in your father’s footsteps in the future, it’s best to practice diligently. In our Jianghu, it’s all about winning people over with martial arts," Brother Ye advised Long Aixi from the perspective of an elder.

Long Aixi might have found such words tiresome coming from someone else, but coming from Brother Ye, he believed they were certainly correct.

He nodded, "I’ve long heard from my parents that Uncle Ye is extremely skilled. Not just in the Dajin dynasty, but if one looks across the world, there are probably very few who can match Uncle Ye. If you have time, could you teach me a few moves?"

"No problem," Brother Ye smiled faintly, "If you really want to spar with me, we can do it right now."

Nan Feng quickly intervened, "Xiao’ai has come from afar, let him rest a while first. Let’s delay the sparring till tomorrow, I’ll go cook something for Xiao’ai to eat."

Xia Dabao noticed that her parents seemed to really like Long Aixi, she couldn’t help but move closer to Axian, "Axian, these next few days, we might be somewhat neglected, but no worries, sister will protect you."

Axian seemed not quite to understand.

...

After noon, Nan Feng also instructed Xia Dabao to go to the market to buy some things.

Mainly to purchase side dishes for the next few days, and some things they didn’t grow at home, such as red beans, so they could make some Bone Soup when Long San and others arrived. They also needed to buy some glutinous rice wine, so Long San could have some to drink.

Upon receiving Nan Feng’s instructions, Xia Dabao was about to hurry off but Long Aixi also said, "Dabao, how about I go with you? It could be good to learn the way, and I can help carry things, what do you think?"

No sooner had Long Aixi finished speaking than Nan Feng also said, "Then Abao, you take Xiao’ai with you. It’s fine to go out for a walk, no need to stay cooped up here."

Xia Dabao found nothing objectionable and nodded, "Alright, then come with me, I’ll go get the horse cart ready."

Seeing that Long Aixi was going, Axian also jumped excitedly, "Sister, I want to go too."

"Come on then, let’s all go together!"

...

As Xia Dabao drove the horse cart, Long Aixi and Axian sat in the back. Long Aixi, perhaps fearing Axian might fall off, couldn’t help but hold him tightly. Axian, usually a well-behaved child now being held by Long Aixi, didn’t dare to move at all, and he didn’t look elsewhere but kept staring intently at Long Aixi.

Long Aixi, likely used to being stared at, didn’t remind Axian anymore, letting him look.

His attention was more on Xia Dabao.
