The old man in the attic wanted to help him, but Su Xuan still knelt down and couldn't get up.
"That's not what I mean! Medical skills are naturally not my specialty. What I want to learn...is martial arts!"
"Martial arts?" The old man in the attic pursed his lips and touched his chin.
Seeing that the other party did not agree, Su Xuan could only continue the pursuit shamelessly.
"I'm sorry for the rude words of this junior. Just now, senior said that no matter what request the junior has, he can ask for it. Does senior want to go back on his words now?"
The old man in the attic looked at Gu Ming, who simply closed his eyes. As for Rong Gui and Qingwen, they were also surprised by Su Xuan's change. Nangong thought clearly. After all, he was someone who had experienced the Weiyang Palace incident together. Su Xuan's idea at this time was just to find a way to save his life in the future.
"It's not that I want to regret it, your Uncle Niu is a man of his word! It's just..."
The old man in the attic looked very embarrassed. When Su Xuan saw that there was still a chance of improvement, he always tried to make things happen and struck while the iron was hot.
"Junior doesn't know what worries senior has. If you are worried about junior's lack of ability, junior will prove it to you!"
The old man in the attic looked at Gu Ming, who still seemed to be unconcerned with the matter, and sighed.
"It's not that I dislike you for being dull in qualifications and not working hard to learn what you should have. As for you imperial doctors, I know that you have a stubborn energy hidden in your hearts, and you have the temperament to never look back without hitting the wall, and you also have the ability to persevere. Willpower, alas, that's all. I have never received an apprentice or anything in my life. This time is just right. Forget my wish, I am also willing to accept you as my apprentice, but there must be a ceremony. After all, I am number one. This is even the last time to recruit a disciple!"
Speaking of this, Su Xuan became embarrassed. He really didn't know much about etiquette when it came to rituals, but Gu Ming turned around and took out a pot of tea and several teacups. They were prepared carefully and neatly.
Gu Ming tapped the back of his hand and murmured: "By the way, do we need a grand master's chair and a table?"
"This has!"
Qingwen quickly raised her hand. She was also happy to see Su Xuan develop better. After all, if he learned martial arts, not to mention whether he could become a master, at least he would not be fooled on the spot no matter what happened in the future. There will always be some experience of being beaten or even massacred while standing there in a daze.
However, after a while, Qingwen and Su Tian, who had been kneeling on the futon to be punished, started to get busy, helping Su Xuan to find all kinds of utensils, and they were able to collect them all in the Weiyang Palace.
Seeing the neatly arranged utensils, the old man in the attic did not expect that it would be done so soon. At least he should wait until tomorrow.
"Okay, Gutou, you are very shrewd. You wouldn't have thought of such a trick a long time ago, right? Gutou, have you colluded with Su Xuan?"
Gu Ming shook his head and said: "Then you think too highly of me! Although I am shrewd and can incorporate many things into my plan, this time, Su Xuan's reaction and request are indeed... To my surprise, a doctor, who has learned this, has superb medical skills, no matter what force he is, he will not attack anyone who knows medical skills, this is the rule of the world!"
Su Xuan also said that he had never said anything to Gu Ming, and this time it was purely a spur-of-the-moment idea.
"Old senior, junior has not discussed it with anyone. This time I heard what senior said. In addition, junior really wants to learn martial arts, so this is why..."
Su Xuan said and pointed to the ceremonial utensils around him.
"This junior is really not prepared for these things. I don't even know what to prepare, and I don't know the etiquette of apprenticeship. But don't worry, senior. Regarding this request, this junior has definitely put 100% of my mind into it. I won't People who say it’s just a spur-of-the-moment idea and give up halfway through learning martial arts!”
The old man in the attic nodded affirmatively.
"I believe that you, a boy, are very principled in doing things and will not do anything irrational out of impulse!"
"Old man Niu, this whole thing is actually not prepared for you, but for myself. I originally wanted to accept Su Xuan as my disciple, but it just happened that Su Xuan made this request today. , I will lend it to you for temporary use. After some time, I will find a better occasion and accept Su Xuan as my disciple."
Su Xuan was shocked. Not only Su Xuan himself, but also Rong Guiren felt that Su Xuan was really lucky.
The old man in the attic seemed to have found a poor person with the same disease. He quickly grabbed Gu Ming, who was about to move out of the way, with one hand and forced him to stay.
"You are not allowed to leave! The ancient leader of the dog thief, since you also intend to accept Su Xuan as a disciple, it just so happens that we will do it together today! Anyway, I don't mind it. It is my first time to accept a disciple, and there is an old friend accompanying me. It’s what I think it is!”
Gu Ming waved his hands repeatedly.
"No, no! You care so much about the sense of ceremony, how can I still not care? It's not like you don't know me! Old man Niu, you can't cheat your best friend who has spent decades together like this."
But he couldn't break free from the palm of the old man in the attic.
"Ah, yes, yes! But I have to compete with you today. If you don't accept Su Xuan as your disciple today, you have to come with me! You can't follow me today, Mr. Gu!"
Gu Ming held his forehead and smiled bitterly.
"Okay, okay! If this is the case, Su Xuan, do you agree?"
Ronggui was stunned for a moment as he listened. Not only Ronggui, but also Su Tian was obviously uncomfortable. He muttered, "Master, this is unfair! When you accepted me..."
"When I take you in?"
Gu Ming was very angry when he heard what Su Tian said. The task originally assigned to Su Tian today was nothing, and he even got drunk in the middle. Now that he was talking about it, Gu Ming directly mentioned it. He picked up Su Tian's ears and said angrily: "You still have the nerve to say this? How old were you at that time? Five years old! You know nothing! I will only accept you as my apprentice in my whole life, why don't you still be so abrupt? Now you have to compete! There are many people today, so I won’t punish you by kneeling on the ground. Go back and copy the "Huangdi Neijing" for me ten times! You are not allowed to eat or sleep until you finish copying!"
"Ah!" Su Tian looked pained.
"Ten times the "Huangdi Neijing"? The "Huangdi Neijing" has tens of thousands of words! Moreover, the original ancient book has very small characters. You can't even tell what is written if you don't read it carefully!"
The more Su Tian tried to quibble and evade punishment, the more energetic Gu Ming became, and the harder he pulled his ears with his hands.
