ders drunk, as he was well acquainted with their drinking capacity; during the night he became an apprentice, they got him so drunk that he slept on the bed for two nights.He had been worried about Xi...Chapter 454: Dai Yuxin Becomes a Disciple

Moreover, even if they managed to find those reclusive experts as the old doctors suggested, their requirements would likely be no different from Xiao Yu's. Didn't that old doctor say that according to his family’s records, wasn’t it when the child was around five or six years old that he or she was taken away

It seemed clear then; even if they found an expert and their conditions were similar to Xiao Yu’s, wouldn’t it be better to hand Dai Yuxin over to Xiao Yu After all, Xiao Yu lived in a big city, and everyone knew him. This way, it would be much better than handing her over to someone she didn't know! Therefore, after thorough consideration, having Dai Yuxin become Xiao Yu's disciple seemed the best solution.

"Yes! As my disciple, I will do everything in my power to ensure her safety!" Upon hearing their words and knowing that they had agreed, Xiao Yu nodded his head and said this to them.

Since Dai Yuxin was tired and had already fallen asleep in the rest room, her parents got up to wake her when they heard what Xiao Yu said. They originally planned to have Dai Yuxin拜師 directly, but now they thought that spending a good day with their daughter might be better, as it could potentially be their last meeting.

Xiao Yu stood at the entrance of Wan Sheng Hall, watching the Dai family leave; they were staying in a hotel nearby.

After the Dai family left, Xiao Yu closed the door to Wan Sheng Hall and went into the rest room where he sat cross-legged in meditation.

The next afternoon, Xiao Yu came back to Wang Shanshan's residential area and her house. This time when he performed acupuncture, it was much easier as he had gained experience from before. He chose a spot on his head with the largest clot of blood this time; around seven or eight drops of black blood dripped down along with the golden needle.

After removing the needles, Xiao Yu left Wang Shanshan’s home. This round trip took less than an hour, but the next acupuncture session would have to wait for a few days as it wouldn't be good to perform acupuncture too frequently; it was best if he had some time to recover after each session.

Xiao Yu stayed at the clinic until dusk when Dai Yuxin and her family arrived. Knowing she had to part ways with her parents and grandfather, Dai Yuxin's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Even though she was usually strong, she was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl; it was impossible for her to be as mature as an adult.

Moreover, even if the adults were in this situation, they wouldn't necessarily handle it any better than Dai Yuxin did.

"Master Xiao, please take care of Yu Xin!" The Dai family said to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu nodded upon hearing the words of the Dai family. He could understand their feelings but he knew that it was the only way for Dai Yuxin to survive. Even if they found someone who could cure her, the conditions they would impose would be similar to his own because no one would risk being in an unpredictable dangerous situation out of sympathy.

Moreover, without guidance, even this technique might end up exhausting a person. So who would teach others secret techniques and guide them while risking their own lives Nobody would.

Dai Yuxin was懂事enough to bid farewell to her family with tears in her eyes. Dai's elders and parents wanted to say something, but they couldn't find the words. They sighed deeply before turning towards the hotel without looking back.

They didn’t dare stay long for fear of not letting Dai Yuxin become a disciple, which would have doomed her. So after leaving, their figures appeared hunched and desolate.

In Wansheng Hall, only Xiao Hongyang knew that Xiao Yu was taking Dai Yuxin as his disciple. Everyone else looked at them in confusion because the Dai family's behavior made it seem like they had sold Dai Yuxin to Xiao Yu.

However, Xiao Yu didn't explain further to anyone. He brought Dai Yuxin into Wansheng Hall and told Xiao Hongyang before leaving early with her. He then drove them towards his villa.

Although Dai Yuxin appeared strong on the outside, she was still somewhat anxious seeing that Xiao Yu had taken her to a villa.

Xiao Yu brought Dai Yuxin to the living room and told her to rest for a while as he went to prepare things. He believed that if Dai Yuxin wanted to get better, she needed to start training immediately; otherwise, by the time she turned eighteen, she might still be unable to refine the pure yin energy in her body, leading to an inevitable death.

Xiao Yu took some foam boards and quilts to the living room and said to Dai Yuxin, "Yu Xin, follow me!" After saying this, he walked towards the basement. Although she shivered at the thought, Dai Yuxin still followed Xiao Yu obediently, hoping to cure her illness and alleviate her grandparents' and parents' worries.

Xiao Yu brought Dai Yuxin to the basement and then placed her on top of a cabinet there.

Xiao Yu saw that Dai Yuxin was already steady on top of the cabinet and stepped back a few steps. With one leap, his figure instantly resembled a large bird as he too flew to the top of the cabinet.

Dai Yuxin watched Xiao Yu jump up two meters high and immediately revealed an extremely surprised expression. She looked at him with sparkling eyes, seemingly forgetting her fear at this moment.

"I-I-is this kung fu Master, Master... is what you want to teach me just these things" Dai Yuxin said excitedly while looking at Xiao Yu. Although she had not formally become his disciple yet, since she followed Xiao Yu here, it showed that she was determined to become his disciple, so calling him master in advance did not matter.

Xiao Yu ignored Dai Yuxin and threw down the items he carried, then leaped into the empty space between these cabinets. He looked at Dai Yuxin on top of the cabinet and said, "Jump down!"

Dai Yuxin saw how high it was and wanted to jump but dared not do so. However, Xiao Yu did not urge her either; he just stood below watching. After a while, Dai Yuxin still did not dare to jump. But when she noticed the hint of impatience on Xiao Yu's face, unwillingly, she closed her eyes without looking down and leaped.

Originally, she thought that she might end up with a bloody nose from this fall, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yu caught her right away upon landing. After Xiao Yu supported her, he opened a cabinet inside which contained a set of battery-powered lamps.

Xiao Yu had Dai Yuxin move aside and then opened the iron door covering the tomb's entrance, threw down the items, and told Dai Yuxin, "Follow me in!" With that, Xiao Yu leaped into it. Moments later, Dai Yuxin also jumped in.

"Master..... Master........" They followed through the tunnel into the tomb chamber. After standing in place within the tomb chamber, when he saw Dai Yuxin descend, Xiao Yu supported her up. While Xiao Yu could see clearly inside this pitch-black tomb chamber, it was not so for Dai Yuxin; after standing steadily and finding herself unable to see anything with her hands stretched out before her eyes, she started calling out.

When Dai Yuxin called for Xiao Yu, there was a hint of tremor in her voice. Actually, compared to others, this Dai Yuxin was already quite good; being just sixteen or seventeen years old and not crying from fright in the face of all these unknowns showed great courage. To be able to handle herself like this when entering an unfamiliar dark space was quite commendable.

"Snap......" A soft sound rang out, followed by a gentle light shining up near Dai Yuxin. This faint light illuminated her face; she squinted and quickly used her hand to shield the dazzling light.

Although the light was very gentle, in this pitch-dark place, even such a mild illumination could be quite blinding to Dai Yuxin's eyes that had just adjusted to the darkness.

Momentarily, Dai Ruxin adapted to the lighting. Observing everything under this light, she trembled when she saw the enormous coffin in the middle of the room and nearly sat down from weakness.

"Master... Master... Where are you" Dai Ruxin shouted with a slight tremor and choke in her voice within the tomb.

"Ah... Rat..." At this moment, a white figure flashed past her eyes, stopping not far away. Upon recognizing this white figure, she immediately let out an ear-piercing scream.

"Stop shouting!" When Xiao Yu heard Dai Ruxin's scream, his voice came from beside her. Following the sound of his voice, she looked to the side and noticed that Xiao Yu was squatting not far away.

Xiao Yu was then seen on the ground piecing together foam pieces, placing a quilt over it before standing up.

Looking at Dai Ruxin shaking in front of him, Xiao Yu said solemnly, "Ruxin, are you sure about拜師 (becoming my disciple)"

Dai Ruxin looked around and then at Xiao Yu. She felt a chill run down her spine as she wasn't sure where this place was, making her very scared. Hearing Xiao Yu's words, she hesitated whether to become his disciple.

However, when she thought about how her grandfather and parents had been running around for her illness all along, she lowered her head in hesitation. She hoped that both of her parents would be happy again instead of sighing continuously as they were now. Especially her grandfather, who had never truly smiled since carrying her to see doctors from childhood until the present day. Therefore, she wished that her parents and grandfather could witness her recovery within their lifetime and genuinely smile.

Xiao Yu was her only hope, also being the first person to say there was a cure for her illness. Thus, regardless of whether it was for her life or her parents' happiness, she had no choice but to become Xiao Yu's disciple.

"Master, I am determined!" With this thought in mind, Dai Ruxin's expression became resolute as she said with conviction.

"Alright, if you're sure, then kowtow. Later on, I'll explain everything to you in detail," Xiao Yu nodded upon hearing her firm voice and replied.it of work ahead in training them."Next, Xiao Yu looked at the frowning Xiao Hongyang. Although he felt somewhat disappointed by Xiao Hongyang’s reaction, seeing that Xiao Hongyang made no further mov...
