A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 271 77 Recruiting a Disciple

The little boy was defeated, knocked to the ground by the arrogant man's guards. The guard, realizing something was wrong, threw himself on top of the boy, allowing him to be beaten. Another guard ran back to the mansion to call for help. The young city lord had been assaulted.

Qiqi didn't come up when she heard someone was trying to save the grandfather and grandson. She saw a guard-like figure running down and knew what was going on. She quickly came up and beat the guard who was beating them down in a few moves. She also slapped the arrogant man twice, beating him so hard that he couldn't tell what was going on.

Qiqi pulled the little boy up and fed him a pill. The little boy woke up. He smacked his lips, knowing someone had given him the pill. The pain in his wounds was gone. He saw Qiqi.

"Sister, it was you who saved me! Thank you, sister." said the little boy.

"Woman, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am? Go and call people, I will beat them to death." The arrogant man shouted.

His men ran away, and Qiqi did not try to stop them.

"Sister, don't be afraid. My family will come to see me soon. I came out in a hurry today and didn't bring the old butler with me. They are no match for the old butler at all." said the little boy.

"Boy, stop bragging. You won't even know how you died later."

"Hmph, you are the little bully of the Huang family. Today you fell into my hands and you even had someone beat me up. Just wait for the housekeeper to beat you up." The little boy shouted in dissatisfaction.

Qiqi was speechless after hearing their conversation. Little Bully, huh?! He just wanted to see how arrogant the people this little bully had summoned were.

Soon, the housekeeper the little boy mentioned arrived first. "Young City Lord, how are you? Who hit you?"

"Uncle housekeeper, he was the one who beat us. He bullied the elderly, the weak, women and children." said the little boy.

"Young City Lord, you are just bragging. Just because you are here, old man, do you think they will leave? If you hit me, don't even think about running away." said the little bully.

The old housekeeper went up and slapped the little bully several times, knocking out several of his teeth.

"Huh, who are you? Is the Huang family so arrogant? You beat up our young city lord and still dare to shout. Who gave you the courage? I'll see who in your Huang family dares to come here." The old housekeeper carried the little boy to a chair. He stood behind.

"Uncle housekeeper, it was this sister who saved me." The little boy pointed at Qiqi and said.

"Thank you, young lady, for saving the young city lord. After we have dealt with the things here, I will tell the city lord to thank you." said the butler.

"Hello, old man, you are so polite. It's just a small favor." Qiqi said.

"Who beat my nephew? Who is so bold? How dare he bully our Huang family?" A middle-aged man came.

He immediately noticed that half of his nephew's face was swollen, blood was flowing from his mouth, and his speech was lisp.

"Uncle, it was them who beat me." Blood flowed from his mouth as he spoke. His uncle frowned, a little disgusted. He looked at Butler Zhang. He was stunned at the sight.

The nephew could have offended anyone, but why did he offend the city lord's steward? He reached out and slapped his nephew. "You blind thing, you can't have offended anyone, but why did you offend the city lord?"

"I'm sorry, old butler, young city lord. It's my nephew's fault. I will go back and report to the head of the Huang family and ask him to take him to the city lord's mansion to apologize." said the middle-aged man.

"Quick, apologize to the butler and the young city lord." The middle-aged man ordered the little bully.

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"Go away. If I meet you again, I will beat you up every time I see you." said the little boy.

The middle-aged man left in a panic with his nephew.

"Sister, can you come back home with us? I want to learn some alchemy skills from you." said the little boy.

"Little brother, I have something to do, so I won't go to the City Lord's Mansion. Thank you for your invitation." Qiqi said.

"Sister, please don't go. You saved me, so let me invite you home for a meal, okay? You can leave after dinner." said the little boy.

"Girl, my young city lord rarely invites others to his home. He invites you to come home for dinner because he likes you. Don't let him down. I also invite you on behalf of the city lord. Please." said the old butler.

Qiqi realized she couldn't refuse. "Okay, brother. Thank you, old housekeeper. I'll follow you to the City Lord's Mansion."

Qiqi followed them to the City Lord's Mansion. She looked at the majestic gate flanked by two stone lions. Qiqi was ushered into the living room. The old housekeeper personally poured her tea as a sign of respect.

The city lord soon arrived, led by his son. "Thank you, young lady, for saving my son. He's my only precious child, and his mother died giving birth to him. I doted on him so much that he didn't know the dangers out there. Thank you so much, and please have some tea. My last name is Zhang, what's yours, young lady?"

"Hello, Lord City Lord. My last name is Jiang, so you can call me Qiqi! That's what everyone in my family calls me."

"Okay, Qiqi. I like this name. The meal is ready, please come, let's eat and talk." said City Lord Zhang.

"Father, my sister gave me a pill when she saved me. I feel it is a top-notch pill. I want to ask my sister to be my teacher and help me refine pills." said the little boy.

"Girl, my son likes to refine pills. He said that refining pills can save lives, save many people. I hired many teachers for him, and he surpassed them in just a few days. The alchemists didn't dare to teach him. Just accept my son!" said City Lord Zhang.

"City Lord, you don't understand me, so you let me take your son as my apprentice. Aren't you afraid that I will bring trouble to you?" Qiqi said.

"Hahaha, you are very kind in saving people. I am not afraid of any trouble. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. You are a good person because you have my son's recognition. I am a straightforward person. I have never asked anyone for help. I beg you to accept my son as your disciple." City Lord Zhang said.

"Okay, I'll take him as my apprentice."

"Master, I kowtow to you." The little boy knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Qiqi took out a spiritual fruit from her sleeve. "My disciple, your home is full of treasures. Master just came out of the mountains. I'll give you this spiritual fruit." Qiqi handed it to her disciple.

"Thank you, Master. My name is Zhang Xiaoyi and I am ten years old." Zhang Xiaoyi took the spiritual fruit given by Qiqi and started eating it.

The spiritual fruit was so delicious. He devoured it in a few bites. Feeling the spiritual energy in his body, he sat down. Soon he broke through to the early stage of foundation building, then to the middle stage, and then stopped at the peak of foundation building.

City Lord Zhang and the old housekeeper were stunned. A single spiritual fruit could have such a profound effect.

"Xiao Yi, son. You are awesome. You have finally broken through the Qi Refining Stage. You will no longer be laughed at by others. Son, you should thank your master." City Lord Zhang said excitedly.

"Thank you for your training, Master. I can finally hold my head high. I won't be beaten anymore." Xiao Yi shouted loudly.
