Chapter 6 Arrangement
Chapter 6 Arrangement
Looking at Mo Yan's leaving back, Li Mulan was incredulous, "Master, are you letting me go?"
Situ Tianming slapped her on the head in annoyance, "What? You have to be punished to be happy?"
Li Mulan rubbed her head and said aggrievedly, "Fifth Senior Brother, can't you be gentler? It hurts."
"Oh, when did our little sister become a weak woman? I wonder who was the one who carried a big sword to fight the big white tiger in the back mountain last year?"
"Hmph!" The little girl pouted and raised her head, "Brother, don't you know that I am born weak? Master and Old Phoenix gave me so many precious herbs to make me better. Aren't you afraid of hurting me?"
When he said a little bit, he raised his chubby little finger and compared it to the size of a fingernail. His cute little look immediately made Situ Tianming burst into laughter.
"Yes, yes, our Xiaojiu is the most precious and cannot be damaged. Then to express my apology, let Fifth Brother take you to see your birthday present?" As he said that, he ruffled Li Mulan's neatly combed hair.
However, Li Mulan didn't care about this little thing at the moment. She was more interested in the gifts. "Yes, yes, yes. Fifth Brother is the best. Let's go and see the gifts."
Seeing the little girl's excitement, Situ Tianming was also happy, "Come on, Senior Brother will take you to see the treasure."
After saying this, the two of them left, and no one noticed Huo Yuanruo behind them.
Huo Yuanruo looked at her round belly and pinched her round face. She was obviously so big, why couldn't they see it?
"Oh!" Huo Yuanruo sighed deeply and followed.

At dinner time, the master and his four disciples sat around a table with four bowls of white rice and a pot of fish soup on it.
Huo Yuanruo's eyeballs were about to pop out, but he didn't dare to say anything. He was the one with the least right to speak, wuwuwu...
Situ Tianming stirred the soup with a spoon and looked at the pitiful three or two small fish in the soup bowl. "Master, is this what we are going to eat tonight?"
Mo Yan's expression did not change. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks leisurely and ate the white rice elegantly. "What else?"
Situ Tianming sighed and thought, forget it, at least there is a hot meal to eat.
Li Mulan frowned cutely, "Master, I am still young and growing, you are... so rude."
"I... I'm still... growing." Huo Yuanruo helped in a low voice.
"This is the only one. Eat it if you want."
Mo Yan didn't even raise his eyebrows, and he was complaining in his heart. He cooked for these debt collectors himself, and they dared to be picky. They were just happy to have something to eat. Other masters have filial people, but only his disciples, ah, it's better not to say anything.
Li Mulan sighed, ate a mouthful of rice resignedly, and looked at her master with some complaints, "Master, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but look at our Lingxiao Palace, it's so big, but there aren't even any servants, isn't this...inappropriate?"
Mo Yan still had no expression on his face, "Yes, Mother Chen."
"But Mother Chen only comes to clean occasionally. Besides, she hasn't come for half a year since her daughter-in-law became pregnant and gave birth." Li Mulan looked at her master with her big innocent eyes.
Mo Yan continued eating, as if he didn't hear anything.
Li Mulan continued, "Our Lingxiao Palace is so big that it takes a lot of effort just to clean it. Look, apart from your yard, my yard is the only one that's a little cleaner. After all, I live here often. The yards of other brothers, oh my, are full of spider webs."
Mo Yan still didn't respond. Li Mulan continued to test him, "Our Lingxiao Palace is also a well-known presence in the martial arts world. Isn't this... inappropriate? Shouldn't we... hire a few servants? At least... at least have a cook, right?"
"Master? What do you think?"
Mo Yan put down his chopsticks and glanced at her calmly, "No need."
Seeing his junior sister being humiliated repeatedly, Situ Tianming chuckled, "Xiaojiu, don't even think about it. Master doesn't like outsiders and loves quietness the most."
Mo Yan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "If you can't get used to living here, come back less often in the future."
Li Mulan pouted, "Master, I'm only nine years old, where can I go if I don't come back?"
Mo Yan looked at the little girl steadily, "Don't worry, I will make arrangements."
Li Mulan saw her master's expression and felt something was wrong. "Haha, what are you planning? Master, I just came back. I haven't been back for several months. Don't you miss me?"
Mo Yan snorted coldly, "You've been in good shape in the past few years."
It's more than good. Apart from the fact that he can't cultivate internal energy, his little body is as strong as a calf.
Li Mulan immediately pretended to be weak, "Cough cough cough, Master, I am weak and need to rest more." As if she was afraid that her master would not believe her, she tried to cough a few more times.
Mo Yan took a sip of tea, as if he hadn't heard. "It doesn't matter if you can't practice internal strength, but you still need to have the ability to protect yourself. In the future, in addition to those basic trainings to strengthen your body, you must also learn medicine, Qimen Dunjia, military tactics, and even music, chess, calligraphy and painting. You also know the ability of your eldest brother. In the past two years, he and his wife took care of you the most, and you should have learned a lot. Don't waste it in the future."
"Your second brother is good at medicine. I have contacted him. You should stay with him for a while and learn well. Your fourth brother will also go over after he finishes his work. He is best at Qimen Dunjia. And your sixth brother, at such a young age, his chess skills are unmatched..."
Situ Tianming saw that his master mentioned all the other brothers but didn't mention him. He couldn't help but said, "Master... Master? What about me?"
Mo Yan looked at him with disdain, "You? What should I learn from you? Getting into trouble?" Then he snorted and turned to look at Li Mulan, "If you're talking about this, then she doesn't need to learn."
Situ Tianming suddenly became listless, somewhat helpless and somewhat pitiful, "Master~"
Li Mulan was even more helpless, "Master, are you always joking? It's fine to learn medicine and Qimen Dunjia, but why is there the art of war? Are you planning to let me go to the battlefield in the future? What's even more exaggerated is the music, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm not going to take the imperial examination, so what's the point of learning those."
Mo Yan nodded at her, feeling somewhat disappointed. "Which lady from a noble family doesn't learn this? You are my disciple, Mo Yan. You are neither good at martial arts nor literature. How will your master's face be saved if you tell others about this? Do you still want to do it?"
Li Mulan touched her nose with a guilty conscience, "I didn't expect Master to be so vain and still care about these things? Master, it's wrong for you to do this. How can you think your disciple is useless? No matter how bad the disciple is, he is still your disciple, right? As the saying goes, a mother will not dislike her son's ugliness. You can't do this. Also, a lady from a noble family? What is that? It's so sissy, I don't like it."
Mo Yan almost spat out a mouthful of blood, "Get out, get out if you don't want to eat."
