Chapter 2394 Utility Room

The master is old and no longer has the energy to train more apprentices.
But due to the pressure from his master's wife, and because He You did have some talent, the master accepted He You.

He was also very happy that he had a junior fellow apprentice.

So I have always liked to act like a senior brother in front of He You.

……

"Stand up straight."

Gu Xiaolang hit He You on the back.

He is so tall.

But I always like to hunch my back.

Where is the spirit of a martial artist?
……

He You showed an unhappy look on his face.

The slightly hunched back slowly straightened.

Gu Xiaolang nodded with satisfaction.

"Hold."

Gu Xiaolang took the two of them to the utility room next door.

He turned and closed the door.

The dim environment made He You look around uneasily, his eyes flickering.

I wrapped the quilt tighter around me.

"Ayou-"

"what!"

He You exclaimed.

The quilt covered his head in an instant.

Gu Xiaoyan was startled. "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, "He seems to be frightened by your voice."

Gu Xiaotang: ...

He was frightened by Ayou's inexplicable reaction.

……

"Ayou."

Gu Xiaolang took a deep breath.

“There are so many of us here.”

"What are you afraid of?"

"Moreover, people who practice martial arts..."

Although he had said it many times, seeing He You's cowardly performance, he couldn't help but say it again.

How can a martial artist be so timid?
Practicing martial arts is also practicing the mind.

How can a person be truly strong if his heart is not strong?

……

Xiao Xiao looked around the room.

It's just an ordinary utility room.

There was a stale smell in the air.

……

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but smile when he noticed the little white fox rubbed its nose and then covered its nose with its tail.

The air here is indeed not very good.

……

"Little senior brother."

He You couldn't help but interrupt Gu Xiaoyan's chatter, "What do you want from me?"

"Take out the small print!"

Gu Xiaojian has raised eyebrows.

Senior brother is senior brother.

What do you mean, little brother?
Is it hard to listen to?

……

"But you are the junior brother."

A muffled sound came from behind the quilt.

Gu Xiaotang: ...

"You can call me Seventh Senior Brother."

Gu Xiaolang thought for a moment and said, "Or Senior Brother Xiaolang could be an option."

"Not polite."

He You refused.

How could he call Junior Brother by his first name?

……

Gu Xiaolang's mouth twitched.

Master is a person who pays attention to etiquette and rules.

Some old stubborn.

So the master's disciples are all more or less like him.

He is the most "rebellious" one.

Ayou is the weirdest one.

"...You're being polite by calling me Junior Brother?"

Forget it.

Gu Xiaolang shook his head.

He didn't know how many times he had corrected Ayou with this title.

Ah You always has a convincing argument.

Neither did he.

Just call him junior brother.

Isn't it just a name?
But he still felt a little upset when he thought about the teasing from other senior brothers.

Why is he the youngest senior brother?

Why didn't he get started sooner?
……

"Okay, let's get back to business."

Gu Xiaolang straightened his face.

But the next second, looking at the pile of quilts in front of him, his face fell.

"Come out here."

Gu Xiaolang said unhappily.

"At least show me your head."

“I have friends here too.”

"Do you think this is appropriate for you?"

……

Hearing Gu Xiaolang say that there are other people here, He You's body stiffened. In response, Xiao Xiao said, is his presence so weak?
Just now, the other party didn't even notice his presence while walking along the way?

……

He You slowly revealed his head.

The vision in front of me gradually became clear.

There was indeed a stranger behind the junior brother.

He was a little puzzled.

This was the first time that the junior brother brought a stranger to see him.

Could it be that... Junior Brother said he had something to tell him... and it was related to this person?
……

Gu Xiaolang didn't delay either.

In this place, they don't have to worry about others hearing what they say next, which may sound strange to most people.

"Ayou, this is Master Xiao."

Gu Xiaolang introduced the two people.

"Master Xiao, He You, you can call him Ah You."

……

"Hello."

Xiao Xiao smiled at He You.

There was no trace of strange expression on her face because of He You's odd look.

……

He You was stunned.

The other person's calmness almost made him forget that he was wrapped in a quilt in broad daylight.

The other party's greeting made him feel a little at a loss.

“…Hello.”

He subconsciously looked at Gu Xiaolang.

……

Gu Xiaolang met He You's gaze.

"I specifically asked Master Xiao to come and help you take a look."

……

Specially... to help him take a look?
He You's mind was a mess.

The quilt was too tight before.

He seemed a little dizzy.

……

"It's the problem you've been having lately."

Gu Xiaolang didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"Tell Master Xiao about your situation again."

There may be some inappropriateness in his retelling.

It is better for the person involved to say it again.

Moreover, maybe Master Xiao will discover something during this process...

At least... it's good to ask some questions.

……

"……what?"

He You opened his eyes wide.

Master Xiao...

His thing...

After a few seconds, he looked at Gu Xiaolang with some emotion.

The junior brother really did a lot for him.

He is not good at speaking and expressing himself.

But in his heart, he always remembered it.

"Thank you, little brother."

……

Gu Xiaolang's mouth twitched.

He still felt complicated when he was called "Junior Brother".

He shook his head.

"What do we say thank you to each other, brothers?"

"Besides, don't be happy too soon."

Gu Xiaoyan gave a warning in advance, "Master Xiao is just someone I called to try to show you."

"There's no 100% certainty."

"If you don't find anything by then, don't act too disappointed."

Otherwise, he will be the one who is embarrassed.

……

"……oh oh."

He You responded half a beat late.

In fact, he didn't have much expectations for the people brought by his junior brother.

He was just grateful for the concern of his junior brother.

Today's meeting...he thought, was probably just a formality.

Although he doesn't like to interact with strangers, he is grateful for the kindness of his junior brother.
He You accepted this kindness in silence.

"."

Gu Xiaolang reached out and rubbed his forehead.

"Ayou."

"what?"

He You looked over blankly.

"You won't tell me?"

Gu Xiaolang slowed down his speech.

What does this silence mean?
"explain?"

He You was even more confused.

"say what?"

Gu Xiaotang:
"You didn't hear what I just said, did you?"

The corners of his eyes twitched fiercely.

"I said."

"I specially asked Master Xiao to come over and help you take a look."

"Tell Master Xiao about the problems you've encountered recently."

Gu Xiaojian spoke each word with emphasis.

"have you understood?"
