Just like that, Sei Itō stayed with Ma Jianxing in the Acupuncture Institute for half a day. They didn't leave the Acupuncture Institute until five in the afternoon, when it was time to close. They returned to Liangshan Lake through the back door.
"Take a seat. I'll talk to the others about your accommodation," Ma Jianxing said to Sei Itō after returning to the dojo.
"Okay, thank you, master," Sei Itō nodded.
Ma Jianxing nodded and called Reverse Ghost Zhi Xu, who was drinking the sorghum wine that Sei Itō gave him while guiding Bai Bin Kenichi. He also called Apacha and Kasaka Siyu, who were learning to play handheld games under the guidance of Bai Bin Keika. They also found Sei Itō, who had just returned from Jiegu Courtyard, and went to another room to discuss Sei Itō's accommodation.
"Kenichi is very diligent." At this time, Ito Sei, who had nothing to do, walked to the outer corridor of the dojo and sat down. He looked at Bai Bin, who was in a karate posture and throwing punches after punches, and smiled.
"Hey! It can't be helped. It's not like you don't know the training requirements of the masters. Hey, if you don't complete the quantity, they won't make any exceptions, "Bai Bin Kenichi replied as he made punches.
"That's true. But that's also because the masters love you very much," Sei Itō said with a smirk.
"Compared to this weird way of loving, the normal way is better," Bai Bin Kenichi said with a frown.
"Hahahaha." Sei Itō immediately laughed.
"What are you laughing about?" At this time, Fenglin Temple's Mei Yu walked out of the dojo with a tray with a clay teacup on it. She knelt down beside Sei Itō and asked.
Sei Itō smiled and explained, "It's nothing, I'm just discussing the love between masters."
"Is that so? Could it be that Kenichi has finally realized the hidden kindness of his masters?" Miwa of Fenglin Temple asked as she handed the teacup to Sei Itō.
"Haha, right? Probably." Bai Bin Jianyi, who was being stared at by Mei Yu, laughed dryly.
"I came back this time. Sei Itō, how long are you planning to stay? "Not wanting Mei Yu to see through him, Bai Bin Kenichi changed the topic.
"I'm not sure, but I probably won't be leaving anytime soon." Sei Itō held the bottom of the teacup with one hand and took a sip with the other. "Well, for the sake of convenience, I've just gotten rid of Master Ma. You can let me stay in Liangshan Lake for the time being."
"Eh, eh, eh!?" Hearing Sei Itō's words, Bai Bin Kenichi stopped what he was doing in shock. He turned to Sei Itō and said anxiously, "Sei Itō, are you really going to stay here?! You've received the same training as me, so you should know the consequences of staying here! Look at me, this is the portrayal of a bloody man! "
"Kenichi, do you hate living here?" Before Sei Itō could say anything, Bai Bin Kenichi's eyes widened. Fenglin Temple's Mei Yu looked at Bai Bin Kenichi with tears in her eyes.
"No, no, how could that be, that's not what I meant …" Seeing Mei Yu's teary eyes, Bai Bin Kenichi immediately panicked and began to explain clumsily.
Sei Itō didn't participate in the interaction between Bai Bin Kenichi and Fenglin Temple's Mei Yu. Instead, he focused his mind and guessed the results of the meeting in the other room.
…
Let's push the time back a minute or so.
"I say, Old Ma, why did you call us here?" Leaning against the doorpost with one hand on his chest and the other hand pouring sorghum wine into his mouth, Ni Zhixu, who had never been able to hide his thoughts, took the initiative to ask.
"I think it has something to do with the disciple Ito Sei." His whole body was full of the temperament of a philosopher. Qiu Yu of Cape Etsu Temple said as he stroked his beard.
"That's right." Ma Jianxing nodded. Then, he told them the reason for calling them here. "Before returning from the acupuncture institute, that disciple asked me to do something. He wants to live in Liangshan Lake."
"Live in?" Ni Zhixu stopped pouring wine and turned to look at Old Ma with a frown.
"Yes." Ma Jianxing nodded.
"Old Ma, are you going to accept him as an official disciple?" Qiu Yu asked with a serious expression.
"Don't worry, I won't mess around. I won't break the rule that inner disciples of Liangshan Lake can only be accepted with the approval of the elders. I'm just asking about him." Ma Jianxing knew what they were worried about, so he quickly explained, "According to him, he'll pay for the accommodation and food. With the financial resources he showed last time, he might be able to help Miyu solve the financial problem of Liangshan Lake."
At the end of his sentence, Ma Jianxing had a sinister smile on his face.
"I see, it's not impossible." Qiu Yu, who understood Ma Jianxing's meaning, stroked his beard with his index finger and smiled. "And if he's here, he might be able to stimulate Kendō's training."
"It doesn't matter … Anything … works," Kasaka Siyu, who was lying on the beam, said in her unique way of speaking.
"Same goes for Apacha," Apacha, who was playing games with his head down, said.
"Since you don't have any objections, I don't have any objections either. As long as he doesn't affect my training of Kendō, it's fine," Ni Zhixu said.
"Since no one has any objections, it's settled then," Ma Jianxing looked at everyone and said.
"But when the Elder comes back, it's better to explain it to him," Qiu Yu said.
"I understand," Ma Jianxing replied.
"But speaking of which, did you notice the changes in the boy named Sei Itō?" Ni Zhixu suddenly said.
"Are you talking about his spirit and body movements?" Qiu Yu looked up at Ni Zhixu and asked.
"Yes, that brat's Essence, Qi, and Spirit have clearly changed since he left last time. Compared to that time, he is like a completely different person. Moreover, his actions are also very different from last time. That kind of appearance, it is as if …" Reverse Ghost Zhi Xu said in a deep voice.
"After more than ten years of tempering, he's turned everything about martial arts into instinct," Ma Jianxing said with a serious expression.
"It seems that something extraordinary has happened while he was away." Qiu Yu of Cape Etsu Temple sighed.
"But that's still his personal privacy. We don't have to investigate it as long as he's still the same as before. We'll treat him like a normal disciple, "Qiu Yu said.
"I think so too," Ma Jianxing said.
"Whatever. That boy isn't my disciple anyway. I don't have to worry about him," Ni Zhixu said as he drank another mouthful of sorghum wine.
"I'll … keep an eye on him," Kasaka Siyu said.
"Okay. I'll inform the boy of our decision, "Ma Jianxing said as he stood up from the ground politely.
Seeing that Ma Jianxing had left, the others naturally had no interest in staying in the room. They left the room one after another to do what they had to do. For example, Ni Zhixu. He returned to Bai Bin Kenichi's side and continued to instruct the lazy Bai Bin Kenichi on his cultivation. For example, Qiu Yu of Cape Etsu Temple returned to his room. He picked up his tools and began to carve Ksitigarbha again. For example, Apacha and Kasaka Siyu returned to the dojo and played with the game that Sei Itō gave them.
"Boy, after our discussion, we've agreed to let you stay in Liangshan Lake for the time being," Ma Jianxing said as he returned to Sei Itō's side.
"Is that so? That's great," Sei Itō said happily as he stood up from the outside of the dojo.
"As for the food and accommodation, I'll give you a hundred thousand per month. Plus the training fee that you're about to start, I'll give you a hundred and ten thousand per month, "Ma Jianxing said with a smile as he reached out his hand.
"Okay." When Ito Sei heard the final figure of the fee, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly as he smiled stiffly. Then, he took out 110,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ma Jianxing. At the same time, he secretly said in his heart, "Black, it's really black …"
The fee was indeed a little bit too much. In Japan, renting a single room with a bathroom would only cost about thirty thousand yen a month. If the location was good, it might be a little more expensive, but if the location was bad, it would be much cheaper. The cheapest room could even be rented for ten thousand yen. After deducting the 10,000 Yen for utilities and other miscellaneous expenses, as well as the 10,000 Yen for food expenses, the total cost was only about 50,000 Yen. It wouldn't reach the exaggerated 100,000 Yen, and this didn't include the cost of training …
"But forget it, I don't lack money, I'll accept it." Sei Itō comforted himself.
"Not bad, not bad." Ma Jianxing lowered his head and counted the money. He nodded with a smile and then ignored Sei Itō. He took the money and went to the kitchen and handed it to Fenglin Temple's Mei Yu.
As for the training fee, Ma Jianxing deserved it. He didn't need to hand it over. After all, buying adult magazines also cost money, right?
"Okay, while Mei Yu is cooking, let's practice. Let me see your current situation so that I can arrange your training plan for tomorrow." Ma Jianxing said as he returned to Sei Itō's side.
"Yes." Sei Itō replied. Then he followed Ma Jianxing back to the dojo.
"Kenichi, stop for a moment. Let's watch them practice. This is also a kind of training." Hearing that Ma Jianxing was going to practice with Sei Itō, Ni Gui Zhixu stopped Bai Bin Kenichi.
"Yes." Bai Bin Kenichi let out a sigh of relief and replied loudly.
At this time, Kasaka Siyu and Apacha, who also heard that Ma Jianxing was going to practice with Sei Itō, came to the dojo one after another. They each chose a comfortable place to sit down.
"Let's begin." Ma Jianxing said as he looked at Sei Itō who was standing in front of him.
Ma Jianxing's performance was the same as the first time Sei Itō practiced with him. His hands were naturally by his side, and his whole body was loose and full of openings. He stood there like an old man who could be easily knocked down at any time.
"Excuse me." Ito Sei cupped his fists and said to Ma Jianxing. Then, he assumed the posture of a Xing Yi Quan martial artist. His eyes were fixed on Ma Jianxing's eyes, and the muscles of his whole body started to tremble.
Seeing Sei Itō's performance, Ni Gui Zhixu raised his eyebrows and made a sound of surprise. "Hm?"
"What's wrong, Master Ni Gui?" Bai Bin Kenichi, who was the closest to Ni Gui Zhixu, heard Ni Gui Zhixu's sound of surprise and asked.
"Watch carefully." Reverse Ghost didn't explain to Bai Bin Kenichi. Even if he explained, Bai Bin Kenichi probably wouldn't understand. Thus, he only told Bai Bin Kenichi to pay attention and didn't bother with Bai Bin Kenichi anymore. He continued to drink while casually looking at the two people in the dojo.
At this time, Sei Itō let out a low shout. His body suddenly turned into a black shadow and appeared in front of Ma Jianxing. He stretched out his hand towards Ma Jianxing's head.
Ma Jianxing's feet didn't move. His body was slightly tilted, and his head was slightly tilted. He dodged Sei Itō's fist by a hair's breadth.
Sei Itō was already prepared for his attack to miss. After the fist energy was released, he immediately swept his arm horizontally towards Ma Jianxing's head. After all, Ma Jianxing was only 1.5 meters tall. He only reached Sei Itō's chest. For Sei Itō, the most comfortable place to attack was Ma Jianxing's head, not his chest, which was bigger and harder to dodge.
However, being small also had its advantages. Ma Jianxing's body suddenly bent down and easily dodged the sweeping arm. He then stood up again.
Sei Itō, whose attack had missed again, raised his right leg and bent his knee towards Ma Jianxing's chest.
Ma Jianxing's feet tapped the ground and jumped back. It was only at this time that Ma Jianxing's feet finally moved away.
Ito Sei, whose knee attack missed, quickly dropped his right leg. With the recoil force of his foot landing on the ground, he moved his body to the front of Ma Jianxing. He stretched out his palm like a knife and chopped towards Ma Jianxing's neck.
Ma Jianxing twisted his foot and quickly leaned back to dodge Sei Itō's attack. At the same time, he circled to Sei Itō's side. However, he only came to the side and didn't attack Sei Itō.
Sensing Ma Jianxing coming to his side, Sei Itō's left leg quickly stepped forward to act as a fulcrum. His right leg followed with a step and turned around, pushing Ma Jianxing with his palm.
Ma Jianxing also used a step and step combination to dodge Sei Itō's attack.
Just like this, Ma Jianxing dodged without attacking, while Sei Itō attacked without defending. In the blink of an eye, the two of them had exchanged dozens of blows.
"So, so powerful." Hakubin Kenichi, who was dazzled by the mysterious scene, murmured.
"Compared to him, you're really nothing." Sei Itō glanced at Hakubin Kenichi and said.
"I know I don't have talent, I know I'm trash …" Bai Bin Kenichi heard this and immediately placed his hands on the ground, looking like a defeated dog as he muttered.
"Sei Itō, don't say that. Although Kenichi isn't very good, he's not completely useless." Qiu Yu, who had arrived at the dojo, said.
"Really? Master Qiu Yu, what are my strengths? " Hakubin Kenichi immediately recovered from his dejected state. His eyes were filled with anticipation as he looked at Qiu Yu.
"This … this …" Qiu Yu turned his head to the side and pondered.
