Listening, listening, becoming a disciple, it must be done.

Killing Pei Yong can earn 2000 experience points, and 2000 experience points are very significant for Wang Tian. If he doesn't learn martial arts, he might be killed in one move. However, if he can learn from this expert today, there's still a chance.

Wang Tian still has a desire to level up, after all, he is now a player, and he can't shake it off.

"Um, Uncle..." Wang Tian didn't know how to start without making the other person dislike him.

"What's the matter?" Li Gang asked with a gentle expression.

The uncle still had a good impression of Wang Tian. After all, Wang Tian's demeanor made people not dare to look down on him, and the uncle had passed the age of jealousy.

"Do you take disciples?"

"Take disciples?" The uncle was startled. Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed? His vigilance immediately rose. But then he calmed down.

This young man looks familiar, he is probably a student from No. 7 High School. He can't be sent by my enemies. It's probably because of what I said earlier that he thinks I'm an expert. I'll just deny it.

"Take disciples? Do you want to learn how to make soy milk and fried dough sticks from me?" Li Gang said with a smile.

"I want to learn martial arts from you!" Wang Tian didn't dare to say he wanted to learn Xingyi Quan. If he did, the uncle would definitely ask how he knew his secret.

"I don't know any martial arts. I just sell soy milk. I think you should go to school and stop daydreaming." Li Gang said.

"Uncle, you are an expert, don't hide it."

"Why do you think I'm an expert? Could it be that I emit some kind of aura that you can sense?" Li Gang said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that the old man was just doing fancy moves? That kind of discernment isn't something ordinary people have."

"Is that why? The uncle chuckled. "I come here every day to sell breakfast, so I know a lot about people. It's not some special discernment."

"You clearly had a look of disdain when you saw him. Only experts have that look."

"You can analyze a look, you're really stretching it..."

"Your temples are high and bulging, that's a sign of an expert..."

"The more you say, the more ridiculous it gets..." Li Gang was getting a bit impatient.

It seems he doesn't want to take me as a disciple. I need to think of a way, Wang Tian thought. So he refused to leave.

"Classmate, it's already past class time, why aren't you in class? I need to go home too."

"Uncle, I'll help you push the cart back." Wang Tian was anxious when he saw the uncle was about to leave.

"Aren't you going to class?" Li Gang asked in surprise.

"Not going to class, I'm on leave today." Wang Tian said with a hint of resentment.

This kid is quite persistent, Li Gang thought to himself. "Are you just going to stick to me? I really don't know any martial arts, don't waste your time." he said.

"How can I be sticking to you? I see that you come out early and work hard, and your leg isn't very convenient, so I want to help you. Respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue in our country." Wang Tian said and then pushed the cart without waiting for a response. He had bought breakfast here before and knew that the uncle's left leg was a bit injured.

"Which way, Uncle?" Wang Tian asked proactively.

"Since you're willing to be a laborer, I'll enjoy it. This way."

Li Gang's home was on the outskirts of the city. It took half an hour to get there, and this trip made Wang Tian sweat profusely, but he was very happy inside. The fact that the uncle let him push the cart meant there was hope for becoming a disciple.

His clothes were soaked, but he was wearing a beginner's cloth robe, so he didn't have to worry about getting dirty or smelling sweaty.

They arrived at a small, separate courtyard, and Li Gang took out the key to open the iron gate.

Inside, there were a few rooms in front of a large courtyard. In the middle of the courtyard was a flower bed covered with a tarp to block the sun. The flower bed was planted with roses, which were now in full bloom, and there was a watering can next to it.

The house was a brick and tile house. Fortunately, it was on the outskirts of the city; if it were in the city, such a house would not be allowed to exist. The door was wooden, and the red paint had faded over the years, with many spots and patches. Overall, it looked like an old house in the countryside.

"Uncle, your place is really nice, peaceful, and natural. The air is very fresh, much better than in the city." Wang Tian took a deep breath and said sincerely.

"Ha, 'Picking chrysanthemums by the eastern fence, I gaze upon the southern mountain in ease.'" Li Gang suddenly recited a poem, which made Wang Tian look at him with new respect. He didn't expect that this sturdy, rural-looking man would have some elegance.

Wang Tian put the cart in the shade and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.

"Are you tired? Come in and have a cup of tea." Li Gang looked at him and then opened the door to the middle room.

Wang Tian went in, and Li Gang had already brewed the tea, holding a small black clay cup and smiling as he handed it to him.

"Uncle, about becoming a disciple..." Wang Tian thought he had a chance and took the opportunity to bring up his request.

"I've already said I'm not an expert... Why bring up this topic that spoils the mood? Isn't it better to drink tea and chat? I rarely have visitors, and I'm usually quite bored. Stay and watch TV with me."

Wang Tian was speechless, found the remote control, and turned on the TV.

Li Gang's TV was actually a 25-inch LCD TV, a TCL brand. Although his house looked like an old rural house from the outside, the interior was very well-decorated, much better than Wang Tian's home. If you only looked at the exterior, you wouldn't have expected it.

"Why do you want to learn martial arts?" Li Gang suddenly asked.

Hey! There's a chance!

To level up by killing monsters! Wang Tian almost blurted it out.

"Learning martial arts is for strengthening the body and helping the weak." Wang Tian gave what he thought was a good answer.

"You seem to have a sense of justice..." Li Gang smiled faintly. "But I really don't know any martial arts. If you really like it, I know the head of a martial arts school. Should I introduce you?"

"No, I've decided on you." Wang Tian said. He clearly had the intention to take disciples earlier, why did he change his mind? Was there something wrong with his answer? Learning at a martial arts school? If you could learn real skills at a martial arts school, there would be experts everywhere.

"Screech."

The sound of the iron gate being opened.

The person who came in was a female police officer.

A beautiful face, a pair of bright eyes, wearing a police cap and a police uniform. The military emblem on the cap and the insignia on the shoulder made her look dignified and impressive. She was about 1.7 meters tall, with long legs, and her most striking feature was her well-developed chest, which tightly stretched the uniform, as if it would burst through the buttons at any moment.

Wrapping her treasures so tightly, making them feel constrained, is a sin, Wang Tian thought to himself.

She was Li Gang's daughter, named Li Shuang. Although Li Gang looked like a typical farmer, he was actually a cultured person. He gave his daughter a name with some sophistication. Their surname was Li, and a girl could be described as a "Li flower." The pear blossom surpasses frost and snow, pure and flawless, so he named his daughter Li Shuang.

Li Shuang worked in the criminal investigation team, and her schedule was irregular, so she could come home at this time.

As soon as she entered, she noticed a boy in her father's room.

Could this be a match her father arranged for her? He had been urging her to find a boyfriend recently, and today he actually brought someone home! Few strangers ever came to their house, so Li Shuang had this suspicion.

Seeing Wang Tian's appearance from a distance, this boy was indeed quite good-looking, but he looked a bit young. However, now "sister-brother relationships" were popular, so she decided to reluctantly agree to a relationship.

She had already made this decision before even entering the room.

She was holding vegetables she had just bought from the market. After putting the bag in the kitchen, she walked into her father's room.

"Dad, who is this?" Li Shuang asked first.

"I don't know who he is." Li Gang smiled slightly.

Bringing someone home without knowing who they are? And arranging a match for her? Could it be because he thought the boy was too handsome? Dad is really unreliable, Li Shuang complained to herself.

"Little Shuang, you came just in time. You're a police officer, help me interrogate him." Li Gang said.

Interrogate? What's going on? Li Shuang was a bit puzzled. It seems the situation is different from what she thought.

"Sure, the police team hasn't had much to do lately. Catching a criminal at home would be good too." Li Shuang smiled.

This smile, like a blooming flower, made both of them brighten up. Wang Tian admired this "senior sister" in his heart. In his mind, this policewoman was already his senior sister.

"Come over here." Li Shuang sat at a table, pointed at Wang Tian, and said with a cold expression, but she was secretly smiling. She was sure Wang Tian wasn't a bad person; if he were, her father wouldn't have let him sit in the house.

This senior sister's face changes too quickly.

Wang Tian thought to himself and sat down.

"Name?" Li Shuang pointed at him.

"Gender?"

"Male." Why ask this? Wang Tian complained to himself.

"Age?"

"18."

18 years old? A bit young for a boyfriend, Li Shuang thought.

"Occupation?"

"Student."

"You're still in school?" Hearing that he was still in school, Li Shuang realized she was wrong and blushed. She had been thinking about a relationship with him, and her white face turned pink like it was painted with rouge.

"Why are you here? What's your purpose?"

"To become a disciple."

Wang Tian said straightforwardly.

Become a disciple? Li Shuang looked at her father.

"It's like this, this kid is someone I met in the park this morning. Just because I said an old man's boxing was just fancy moves, he decided I was an expert and followed me here." Li Gang explained.

So that's what happened. She couldn't decide whether her father should take a disciple, so she didn't say anything.

"Senior sister, can you help me plead with the master to take me as a disciple?" Wang Tian saw no breakthrough with Li Gang and decided to try his daughter.
