The old man chatted with Ye Jiaqi for a while and Xiao Zi was talking to Xiao Zi.

Only then did Ye Jiaqi realize that Xiao Zi was picked up by him in the orphanage. Once when he went to the orphanage, Xiao Zi kept holding his clothes with both hands and refused to let go.

Later, the old man brought her back to the training ground and became his first female apprentice.

Xiao Zi has a lively personality, simple and innocent personality. She grew up among a group of boys, and they all spoiled and gave in to her.

She is not a little petty, and she is not delicate enough. She is often as careless as a boy.

She grew up on the training ground carefree.

Among all, she and Meng Chen are closest to each other, and always follow Meng Chen and shout "Senior Brother Meng".

At that time, people in the entire training ground called her "Meng Chen's little follower", and she was not angry.

As Ye Jiaqi listened, he seemed to see a group of children in front of him.

Although she knew that the days on the training ground were bitter most of the time, they must be sweet.

"Later, I accepted a few more female apprentices, all of which were sent by wealthy families, and they were very arrogant." The old man walked slowly behind his back with his hands on his back, with hoarse voice, "Xiao Zi was tricked by them a few times, but later he became less talkative. In my heart, I regarded Xiao Zi as my daughter. Not long after, I sent those female apprentices away and were not allowed to bully Xiao Zi."

Ye Jiaqi listened quietly.

The old man suddenly sighed: "I can protect her for a while, but how can I protect her for a lifetime."

"Xiao Zi... won't be a problem."

"Since I was a child, she didn't like to talk or fight back, and she was very kind and righteous. A Chen bullied her and said she was stupid, so she loved to compete with A Chen, and even always wanted to surpass A Chen in fist and foot skills. In the past, no matter how much she competed, she was just playing tricks, but now, she probably has to compete for the rest of her life."

"It's because I like it."

The old man did not deny it or admit it, but just shook his head: "Forget it, I won't say it anymore, I don't know when I will see Xiao Zi. Over the years, Si Nian and A Chen have been in the capital, and only she has been with me. During the holidays, she will chat with me and buy me wine."

"I will find it, I will definitely find it." Ye Jiaqi said hurriedly.

The old man said nothing, frowned deeply, and sighed in his heart.

The journey is not long or short.

The cement road is smooth and easy to walk on, and the air is always filled with the shallow fragrance of soil.

Looking out, the scenery around is very good and the view is wide.

The branches swayed in the wind, making a "swish" sound, which was particularly noisy, as if they were telling the old story.

Ye Jiaqi asked about the recent situation of the training ground again.

According to the old man's opinion, he was old and could no longer manage such a large venue, and he was too lazy to ask about it. He either transferred the training ground and donated the money he sold, or threw the training ground to Qiao Chengfan.

However, Qiao Chengfan is still young, and he cannot guarantee that no one will covet this property.

"Jiaqi, you can consider it. If it is appropriate, I will hand over the training ground to you." The old man said, "I feel relieved about you. Although it is the first time I meet, I will not misunderstand people."

Ye Jiaqi was stunned. It seemed that Meng Chen had not had time to tell the old man that Qiao Sinian was still alive.
