"Brother Wen! Brother Wen, are you there?" Liang Gen quickly called out when they got close to the roof.
"Is it Liang Gen? I'm here!" Soon, a man's voice sounded. His voice was very loud and full of energy.
When the two of them reached the roof, they saw a middle-aged man walking out of the room.
"Liang Gen, shouldn't you be working at this time? Why do you have time to come to my place?”Ye Wenyi asked.
"It's like this, Brother Wen. This young man beside me wants to learn martial arts from you, but because he doesn't know your address, he came to my place. Now that I've brought her here, the rest is up to you. I still have work to do, so I'll go back now.”After saying that, Liang Gen gave Ye Wen a look. Then, he didn't care if Ye Wen understood or not, he directly bid farewell and left.
"Master."
After hearing Liang Gen's words, Ye Wen's eyes were filled with joy. Although he was once considered a wealthy family, his family was now in decline. Moreover, he had just arrived in Hong Kong and did not have much money left. He was in need of money, so he was even happier to be able to take in a disciple. After all, he could collect tuition fees with a disciple.
Ye Wen immediately sized up Ye Bai.
Ye Bai had been observing Ye Wen ever since he saw him. Unfortunately, after looking at him for a while, Ye Bai couldn't see anything. After all, he wasn't a martial artist. In layman's terms, he wasn't an expert. Naturally, he couldn't see how strong Ye Wen was.
However, Ye Bai couldn't see through Ye Wen's background, but Ye Wen could see through some things about Ye Bai.
"Your body looks very strong and is very suitable for martial arts.”Ye Wen thought to himself.
The T-Virus enhancement had made Ye Bai's body extremely tough. Both his height and body size had increased.
"I'm Ye Bai. Greetings, Master Ye!”Ye Bai cupped his fists and bowed.
"Your surname is also Ye. Perhaps we were from the same family 500 years ago.”Ye Wen said with a smile.
"It's possible. So, I hope Master Ye can accept me.”
"I can teach you martial arts, but it's a little late today, and the clothes you're wearing aren't good either. How about this? You go back first and come to me tomorrow morning to change your clothes.”
"Got it, Master Ye. Oh right, this is my tuition fee.”Ye Bai knew that Ye Wen was short of money, so in order to increase his favorability, he took out 1,000 Hong Kong dollars and gave it to Ye Wen.
Although Ye Bai wasn't short of money and could even take out 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, he knew that Ye Wen had self-respect. If it was 1,000 dollars, he might still accept it. If it was 10,000 dollars, Ye Wen would definitely not accept it.
"That's too much. The tuition fee is five yuan a month, so it's only sixty yuan a year.”Ye Wen quickly refused. Although he was short of money, a gentleman loved money and had a proper way of getting it. Ye Wen would not take more money.
"Not much. In my opinion, knowledge is priceless. Moreover, I heard that learning martial arts is best accompanied by a medicinal bath. Master Ye can help me buy medicinal herbs with the extra money.”
"Alright then, I'll accept it. Leave the matter of the medicinal bath to me.”This time, Ye Wen didn't delay it again. However, he also knew Ye Bai's intention, so he showed a grateful expression.
"Sorry to trouble you, Master Ye. If you don't have enough money, let me know.”
Although he couldn't learn martial arts today, Ye Bai wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, he helped Ye Wen pack up.
Ye Wen had just rented this place and it was still a bit messy, so he had to clean it up properly. Seeing this, Ye Bai also helped.
Seeing that Ye Bai, who looked like a young master of a big family, could actually do such rough work, Ye Wen was even more satisfied with him.
Soon, it was time for dinner. Zhang Yongcheng had prepared dinner and called Ye Wen to eat. Seeing this, Ye Wen hurriedly invited Ye Bai to join him.
"No thanks, Master Ye. I just came to Hong Kong today and have many things to do. I won't bother you anymore. I definitely want to try Master's wife's cooking tomorrow.”Ye Bai smiled.
"I haven't acknowledged you as my master yet. It's a little too early to call you master's wife. Since you have something to do, I won't keep you. If you need anything, just look for me.”
"It's not early. Anyway, it's only a matter of time. Goodbye, Master Ye!”
After saying goodbye, Ye Bai turned around and left.
"Is this your new disciple?" Zhang Yongcheng asked after Ye Bai left.
"Not yet. He plans to learn martial arts from me, but because it's late today, I asked him to come back tomorrow. By the way, this is the tuition fee he gave me." As he spoke, Ye Wen handed the 1,000 yuan to his wife, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face.
As a man, his primary responsibility was to support his family. Previously, Ye Wen could not earn any money at all, which made him very stressed and embarrassed to face his wife. Now that he finally earned money, Ye Wen felt much more relaxed.
"Why are there so many?" Zhang Yongcheng asked in surprise.
"Ye Bai asked me to buy some of the herbs. He wanted me to help him make the medicinal bath, but I know that he probably gave me more because he knew that our family was in trouble.”Ye Wen explained.
"His name is Ye Bai. He's a good child. You have to teach him well.”Zhang Yongcheng was very grateful to Ye Bai for reminding his husband.
"Don't worry, I know. As long as he really wants to learn from me, I won't hold back.”
While Ye Wen and his wife were talking, Ye Bai started to walk around. He wasn't in a hurry to go home, but was asking about the situation in Hong Kong.
This was Ye Bai's first time coming to Hong Kong after two lifetimes. However, there was nothing to see in Hong Kong in this era, so Ye Bai mainly wanted to get some information.
Just like that, a day passed. Early the next morning, Ye Bai came to Ye Wen wearing a martial arts uniform.
"Greetings, Master Ye!"
"Good morning, Ye Bai. It seems that you like to exercise very much.”Looking at Ye Bai's exposed arms, Ye Wen nodded in satisfaction.
The muscles on Ye Bai's arms weren't prominent, but they were very strong. It looked like he had been exercising a lot. Of course, Ye Wen didn't know that his muscles were the result of the T-Virus strengthening.
"Master Ye, you flatter me. I just like to exercise. I've been studying abroad in the West and practiced blindly when I have nothing to do. Not long ago, when I came back, I planned to find a real martial artist to be my teacher.”
"I see." Hearing this, Ye Wen's eyes revealed a look of understanding. He thought that Ye Bai had heard the news from the mainland, but he didn't know that Ye Bai had made it up.
"Master Ye, I wonder what kind of etiquette there is for acknowledging a master?”Ye Bai asked.
"There's no need to be so particular. I'll teach you cultivation first, and we'll talk about the rest later.”Although Ye Wen had decided to teach Ye Bai well, he wasn't sure if Ye Bai could hold on, so he wasn't in a hurry to take in a disciple.
