Chapter 31 Striving for Progress
After these words were spoken, Shen Xiaohu on the side looked at Shen Qing strangely.

He didn't know anything else about this matter, but he still remembered some things.

His father just wanted the young Shanwa to try martial arts. When did he ever say that the three of them could enter Linfeng Hall?
How much money will this cost?

However, seeing Shen Qing's "righteous" look, he was a little unsure and suspected that his father had other temporary instructions.

He was unsure, so he lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Shen Xiu's face became serious. He looked up and down at Shen Qing and Shen Xiaohu, his eyes hesitant.

She knew very well what kind of people her mother's family was like.

Otherwise, my biological parents would not have sold me out, and I would not have to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for my livelihood.

She didn't believe that her nephews would achieve anything.

But in the backyard, the hall master Li Linfeng has more than one concubine, and her family members all have some background to some extent.

Even though she was pregnant, her status in there was not high.

Shen Xiu subconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

She felt that even if she didn't consider herself now, she should consider the baby in her belly.

As an aunt, please help your nephews a little if they can enter Linfeng Hall and gain a foothold.

In the future, I will definitely remember her kindness and take care of this unborn brother and sister.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiu couldn't help but look at Shen Qing.

This was the first time in all these years that Shen Qing was able to speak fluently and logically when he met her.

It was quite different from the honest Shen family she had in mind.

He doesn't look like a hunter who was born in the lower class at all.

Worth a try.

Having been in the wealthy families for a long time, she also understood the principle that it is better to teach someone how to fish than to give him fish.

Now my children and nephews are trying to make progress, and as their mother’s family, I should give them a helping hand regardless of whether they succeed or not.

Only when her family members have made some progress can they help her.

After Shen Fang pondered for a while, he said, "Master Li has indeed been interested in recruiting disciples recently."

"Thank you, aunt." Shen Qing said happily with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Don't be too happy yet. Let me ask first. Whether it will work or not is another matter." Shen Fang's almond eyes curved into crescents, and she chuckled and said, "Don't leave yet. Wait for me here."

Seeing Shen Fang standing up and about to cross the threshold, Shen Qing quickly walked over and hurriedly supported her.

Such a clever look made Shen Fang look sideways, and at the same time, she became more certain that her nephew was a capable person.

Judging from her clever appearance, even if she doesn't get into Linfeng Hall, she will definitely do well somewhere else.

After Shen Qing sent her out of the room, he did not go any further and just observed his duty as a guest and watched Shen Fang leave.

Just now, he was probably sure that this aunt's status in Linfeng Hall was average. She was pregnant but she didn't even have a maid to serve her.

It is really uncertain whether he can succeed in learning martial arts in Linfeng Hall.

"Brother Qingzi, can we really enter this Linfeng Hall to practice martial arts?"

Compared to Shen Qing's calmness, Shen Xiaohu was as anxious as if there were ants crawling around in his heart.

"I don't know. Let's wait and see what happens with my aunt."

Shen Qing knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Seeing that there was still some time, he simply practiced standing meditation in the side room to improve the progress of the Nine Brocade Skill.

Time passed little by little, and after about a cup of tea, Aunt Shen Xiu stepped over the threshold and walked in with a smile on her face.

Shen Qing quickly stopped practicing and suppressed his rising blood, looking at Shen Xiu expectantly. "The hall master wants to see you." As soon as he entered the room, Shen Xiu had no intention of keeping the secret, and blurted out directly.

Shen Qing felt relieved and said gratefully, "Thank you, auntie."

"You guys follow me."

As he spoke, Shen Xiu took Shen Qing and Xiaohu to another villa.

As soon as he stepped through the gate of the villa, Shen Qing saw a burly man with a face full of flesh, who was teaching two young men in training clothes, about twelve or thirteen years old, in an open area in the courtyard.

"Stand still, everyone. You've only been standing for a few moments and you're already in this state. How can you be useful?"

The burly man with a face full of flesh seemed to be very disappointed with his friend. His anger was like a dormant volcano that was about to erupt at any time.

Shen Qing saw that his aunt was leading him straight towards the burly man and thought that this man should be the head of Linfeng Hall - Li Linfeng.

"Are you the nephews of Seventh Lady?" Li Linfeng glanced at Shen Qing and the other person, his tone was somewhat indifferent, and no disgust or likes could be heard.

Shen Qing quickly clasped his fists and saluted: "Greetings, Master Li, I am Shen Qing, and this is Shen Xiaohu."

"You all have to practice for two more minutes. If you can't do this, don't even think about going out for the next three days." Hall Master Li Linfeng said casually and walked towards the small pavilion nearby: "Let's talk over there."

"Yes."

Before leaving, Shen Qing glanced at the two young men who were practicing martial arts. Suddenly, he felt that one of them had unusually developed pectoral muscles. He couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.

As if noticing his gaze, the young man suddenly turned around and glared at him murderously.

Judging from his features, he is clearly a female.

Shen Qing repeatedly withdrew his gaze and stopped looking.

In the small pavilion.

As soon as Li Linfeng, the head of Linfeng Hall, walked up, his aunt Shen Xiu dragged out a large chair covered with tiger skin from under the long table so that he could sit down.

"Xiuxiu just told me that you want to enter Linfeng Hall to learn martial arts?" Li Linfeng glanced at Shen Qing and asked.

"Replying to the Hall Master, this is true."

There was a pop.

Shen Qing knelt down in front of Shen Xiu and Li Linfeng, gritted his teeth, took out the fifteen taels of silver he had earned today, and presented it to them with both hands.

"I hope my uncle can give my nephew this opportunity!"

Shen Qing felt that such an opportunity was rare.

There are countless people out there trying to find a way to learn martial arts.

He was able to make an exception and meet Li Linfeng today, so he had to make a good first impression, strive to improve himself, and at the same time be willing to invest money to leave a deep impression on the other party.

Losing some lives is nothing.

Want great rewards without paying any price.

There is no such good thing in the world.

In fact, Shen Qing really did it.

His behavior confused Shen Xiaohu who was standing next to him and he didn't know what to do. It also surprised Li Linfeng and Shen Xiu.

They thought of Shen Qing begging for mercy, and they also thought of Shen Qing being panicked and trembling with fear, but they never thought of him doing this.

When asking for help, he was actually somewhat sensible and didn't make people feel disgusted.

However, Li Linfeng had seen a lot of things, and he reacted quickly. He looked at Shen Qing and said, "Linfeng Hall does want to recruit disciples recently, but not everyone can join. How about this, both of you take two steps forward, and I'll take a look at your physique. If your physique is too poor to do this job, then go back to where you came from."

"Yes."

Shen Qing's heart trembled and he walked forward slowly.
