After the family split up, I achieved martial arts sainthood.

As night deepened, Gu Xin returned to the courtyard he had purchased.

Pushing open the door, I found the courtyard deserted and empty.

Where are they?

Gu Xin's heart sank instinctively, wondering if some unexpected event had occurred again.

But when he looked back at the intact gate and the clean and tidy courtyard, his unease subsided.

He strode into the backyard and saw that the left wing was brightly lit and filled with people.

Gu Xin silently counted them, and when the numbers matched, his heart finally relaxed.

"Brother Jin Yu?"

Gu Xin walked to the door and knocked.

"Creak!"

The door opened with a click, and Li Jinyu stood in the doorway.

"Ah Xin, you're back?"

When Li Jinyu saw Gu Xin, she opened the door for him.

"Why are you all gathered here?"

Gu Xin entered the room and looked suspiciously at the people gathered there.

"Oh, Avi is sick, so he's been helping out here."

Li Jinyu offered a casual explanation.

The Avi he mentioned is Chen Xiumei's younger brother, Chen Wei.

That is, his future brother-in-law, and his future brother-in-law.

He clearly followed Gu Xin's instructions and brought his fiancée's family back.

Is it serious?

Gu Xin's gaze swept past the crowd and landed on the bed to the right of the door.

Chen Xiumei was seen squatting by the bedside, carrying a bowl of herbal medicine, accompanying a middle-aged peasant woman sitting on the edge of the bed as she fed medicine to a seven or eight-year-old boy lying on the bed.

The boy was sallow and thin, with a pale face, and looked very weak.

"It's not serious, just a fever and a cough."

Li Jinyu casually replied, "I've already consulted a doctor, and he's feeding me medicine right now."

"Xin, have you eaten yet? If not, Auntie will make you something."

Li Jinyu's mother, Zhang Fang, came over and inquired about Gu Xin with concern.

"I've already had dinner, Aunt Fang, you don't need to trouble yourself."

Gu Xin waved his hand and smiled, then looked at Li Jinyu and Zhao Baoyin and asked, "Do you want to rest?"

"Is something wrong, Ah Xin?"

Li Jinyu shook her head and asked Gu Xin in return.

"Didn't we agree before that I would teach you martial arts? I've been held up by things these past few days and haven't had a chance to teach you. Tonight I happen to have some time, so I'll teach you stance training."

Gu Xin smiled and explained.

He had had this idea for a long time, and had already mentioned it to the two of them.

However, he was entangled in various matters and never fulfilled his promise.

He had already reached an agreement with Chen Tong tonight, and he was to report to the government office to start work tomorrow.

He didn't know if he would have any free time in the future, so he decided to take this opportunity to fulfill his previous promise.

Li Jinyu and Zhao Baoyin's eyes immediately brightened.

"Can we really do it?"

How will you know if you don't try?

"Let's go, let's hurry, Master Xin!"

Zhao Baoyin immediately stepped forward excitedly, grabbed Gu Xin's arm, and urged him on.

"Jin Fu and Jin Ling, come too!"

Gu Xin pressed down on Zhao Baoyin's arm and turned around to call out again.

Li Jinfu and Li Jinling are Li Jinyu's younger brother and sister.

The former is ten years old, and the latter is six years old.

They've all reached the age where they can learn martial arts.

Teaching one is the same as teaching ten, so it's better to teach them all together.

Whether they can succeed in martial arts in the future is not important; it's good if they can improve their health and physical fitness.

"Jin Fu, Jin Ling, hurry up and thank your brother Xin."

Zhang Fang was overjoyed and quickly called to the two children beside her.

"Thank you, Brother Xin!"

The two quickly and politely thanked them.

Chen Quan, who was inside the house, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but feel envious.

The in-laws are truly blessed to have such a good nephew.

"Brother Jinyu, I'll teach you tonight first. Later, when your wife is free and Avi has recovered, you can take charge of teaching them."

Gu Xin noticed the disappointment in Chen Quan's eyes, and without showing favoritism, immediately instructed Li Jinyu.

From now on, we'll all be family, so there's no need to hide anything that's already out in the open.

Moreover, Chen Xiumei and her siblings practice martial arts to improve their health, which will save Li Jinyu some trouble in the future.

As a good brother, Li Jinyu being able to relax is also relieving him of his worries.

Chen Quan's previously gloomy eyes immediately brightened.

He was so excited that his lips trembled, and he looked around at the people around him, looking quite at a loss.

Li Jinyu's smile vanished, her expression turned serious, and she stared intently at Gu Xin, about to say thank you.

"Hey, you're not allowed to say thank you!"

Gu Xin raised his hand to interrupt him, casually laughing, "We're brothers, what's mine is yours!"

"Ah Xin..."

Upon hearing this, Li Jinyu's eyes welled up with tears.

Zhang Fang, who is easily moved to tears, had already secretly wiped away her tears.

"Let's go!"

Zhao Baoyin couldn't wait any longer and put his arm around Gu Xin's shoulder, urging him to leave.

"Let's go, let's hurry!"

Li Jinyu stopped being coy and, holding her younger brother Li Jinfu and younger sister Li Jinling's hands, followed Gu Xin and Zhao Baoyin to the backyard.

Under Gu Xin's command, a group of people lined up in a row from tallest to shortest.

"Before I teach you stance training, there are some rules I need to tell you in advance. These are the rules of the martial arts school, and also the rules that my master taught me."

Gu Xin looked at the four people who had lined up and stood still, and solemnly said: "First, you must not cause trouble. Second, you must not kill your fellow disciples. Third, you must not bully the good or help the evil."

"These are rules that must be kept in mind at all times after learning martial arts. If anyone dares to violate them, even if we are brothers, I will still have to expel them from the sect."

Seeing Gu Xin's stern expression, Li Jinyu, Zhao Baoyin, Li Jinfu, and six-year-old Li Jinling all nodded solemnly.

"yes!"

Li Jinyu took the lead in responding, and the others followed suit.

"Alright! Let's begin!"

Gu Xin wasted no more time and began teaching stance training.

The stance training he taught was naturally the upgraded and integrated Youyue stance training.

He did not hold back when dealing with Li Jinyu and Zhao Baoyin.

He personally demonstrated the stances, movements, and procedures of the Youyue Zhuang Gong exercise in great detail.

Then, guide them to imitate and do the same from beginning to end.

He corrected the mistakes again and again, explaining the mysteries and wonders behind them.

Gu Xin, who had already perfected the Youyue Zhuang Gong, naturally taught it with ease and confidence.

After the instruction ended, Gu Xin instructed them to practice repeatedly.

Gu Xin kept a close watch on the entire process, correcting mistakes and providing guidance along the way.

Gradually, the differences between the four people became apparent.

Surprisingly, the person who trained the best was the youngest, Li Jinling.

Next is Zhao Baoyin, and then Li Jinfu.

Li Jinyu, the oldest and most quick-witted, was surprisingly stiff and awkward in her movements.

Could it be that Brother Jin Yu's words have come true, or that he truly lacks the aptitude for martial arts?

Gu Xin scratched his head, feeling helpless.

"I have already taught you the stance training. From now on, just practice diligently and repeatedly. Once you have mastered the stance training, I will teach you the techniques."

After saying that, Gu Xin took out a money bag from his pocket and handed it to Li Jinyu: "Brother Jinyu, there are one hundred taels of silver in here. Keep it for your martial arts training and medicinal baths in the future."

"No refusal allowed!"

Without giving Li Jinyu a chance to refuse, Gu Xin turned around and went back to the main house to rest.

Tomorrow, he has to go to the county government office early to report for duty, so he needs to make the most of his time to rest and recuperate.

From now on, his path forward will likely never be as peaceful as it is now.
