Martial Arts: 10,000 times return, accept Xiaolongnu as apprentice at the beginning

Perhaps, only a deity like this Taoist priest can protect the mother and daughter from being harmed in this chaotic world where people are eating each other.

Thinking of this, the White Widow gritted her teeth. Even though she couldn't kneel down, she bent down and bowed to Su Liu, pleading with tears in her eyes.

"Master, you are a Taoist practitioner and a living god with great magical powers. Please have mercy on us and take us in!"

"Both our mothers come from poor backgrounds. We are willing to do any job we can. We only ask for a corner of your Taoist temple for protection so that we can escape this chaotic world."

Hearing this, Su Liu raised his eyebrows, as if he was interested, and said lightly:

"Looking at your appearance, you seem to be literate?"

Widow Bai pursed her lips, seeming to be a little hesitant, but in the end she did not dare to deceive Su Liu and told him her life story in detail.

"I dare not lie to you, Taoist priest. I am originally a descendant of an official. My late husband was Zhang Zhongsu, a general of the Chen Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was killed by Shi Wansui, a general of the Sui Dynasty. My daughter and I were captured by the Sui army and sold as slaves..."

As Su Liu expected, the life stories of the Bai mother and daughter were actually quite bizarre.

Widow Bai was originally named Shen Danniang. She was the daughter of the wealthy Shen family in Wuxing, Jiangnan. After her husband, General Zhang Zhongsu of the Chen Dynasty, died in battle, she and her daughter were sold. Later, she was bought by the sick Mr. Bai as a concubine.

However, Mr. Bai was frail and sickly, and he died on the wedding day.

Shen Danniang was born into a scholarly family and had been well-read since childhood. In order to repay the Bai family for taking her in, she had been running the family business in Shibalipu over the years, determined to support the Bai family's parents and spend her old age...

All these years, we have been living in peace.

Unexpectedly, when the two elders were approaching old age, such a change would happen. Not only was the Bai family wiped out, but the entire Shibalipu was also reduced to ashes...

After listening to Shen Danniang's description, Su Liu's eyes showed a bit of strangeness, and he subconsciously looked at the little girl next to Shen Danniang.

The little girl had a slender figure, narrow shoulders and waist, pretty eyes and thin eyebrows, and had a good temperament, but there was a hint of stubbornness between her eyes and eyebrows.

Obviously, this is a girl who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

However, Su Liu's gaze was not attracted by the girl's appearance, but fell on the red scarf tied around her neck.

"My father was Zhang Zhongsu, a general of the Chen Dynasty... He was killed by Shi Wansui, a general of the Sui Dynasty... My mother was the daughter of the Shen family, a wealthy family in Wuxing, Jiangnan... She wore a red robe and had an extraordinary appearance..."

"Could this girl be Hong Funu?"

Because he was quite curious about the legend of the Three Heroes of Fengchen in his previous life, Su Liu had learned their story in detail, and he also had some understanding of one of the three, Hua Hongfu.

The girl now named Bai Xiaolian has a life story very similar to that of the legendary Hong Funu.

Could she be Hong Fu Nu?

Su Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently called the system in his heart.

"System, check Bai Xiaolian's talent."

"Ding - system prompt, a suitable candidate for disciple has been detected."

[Name: Bai Xiaolian]

[Age: 12 years old]

[Identity: One of the three future heroes of the world, Hong Funu]

[Qualification: 93]

[Talent: Sword Dance, Assassination]

[System evaluation: She has a slender physique, a slim waist, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and a lively look. She has the spirit of a hero and can be called a famous woman. The host is strongly recommended to take her in as a disciple.]

After hearing the system prompt, Su Liu couldn't help but be a little surprised.

It turns out that this little girl is really Hong Funu, one of the three heroes of Fengchen.

How come she is here?

According to historical records, she should be in Yang Su's mansion.

But Su Liu changed his mind and felt relieved.

The world he is in now is a comprehensive martial arts world formed by the fusion of countless martial arts dimensions. Many events have been changed and are very different from history.

What's more, it is very likely that Hong Fu is still young and has not yet been sent to Yang Su's mansion. Moreover, in the plot of The Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, Hong Fu is still Li Xiuning's maid.

Don't worry too much about these details...

Thinking of this, Su Liu couldn't help but smile slightly, and directly put aside these questions about Hong Funu's life experience, and then set his eyes on the slender and weak girl in front of him, and said lightly:

"Girl, what's your name?"

Chapter 728 Taoist Priest, can I follow your surname Su?

Bai Xiaolian never expected that this high and mighty Taoist priest, who seemed like an immortal, would suddenly ask her name.

The little girl couldn't help but feel a little flattered, and replied with trepidation:

"Reporting to the Taoist priest, my name is Bai Xiaolian..."

"Is your last name Bai?"

Su Liu frowned slightly.

"According to your mother, you should take your biological father's surname, Zhang."

Bai Xiaolian was a little frightened and said hesitantly:

"My mother-in-law won't allow me to...she must let me take my father's surname, Bai..."

Hearing this, Su Liu's brows furrowed even more.

Looking at the little girl's expression, she was obviously quite afraid of the father-in-law and mother-in-law she was talking about.

But this is understandable, as Mr. and Mrs. Bai are just a pair of country women.

Although he had been taken care of by Shen Danniang for many years, he still did not like Shen Danniang and her daughter, and might even think of them as one of the culprits who killed their son.

Shen Danniang might be grateful for the Bai family's kindness, but Bai Xiaolian definitely would not.

A half-grown child is the most sensitive one and can tell the good from the evil of others by intuition. It is obvious that Bai Xiaolian must have had an unhappy childhood.

Su Liu sighed softly, and when he looked at Bai Xiaolian, there was a bit of pity in his eyes. He smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"Girl, if you don't like your last name, then now that the Bai family is wiped out, your mother has taken care of them for many years, and the kindness has been repaid. Now you can change your last name back."

What was beyond Su Lu's expectation was that the seemingly weak Bai Xiaolian suddenly showed a stubborn look on her pretty face at this moment, and she gritted her teeth and said:

"Do not."

"I don't like the last name Chen either."

Seeing this, Su Liu couldn't help but sigh.

It was obvious that the child hated both his biological father and his stepfather.

But this is understandable.

After all, her biological father caused her and her mother to become homeless and almost become slaves, and her stepfather died early due to illness. As a stepdaughter, Bai Xiaolian had to endure years of cold eyes and harsh criticism from her grandparents, and even insults like "a jinx". Naturally, her childhood was very difficult.

So it is normal that I don’t have a good impression of these two fathers.

Su Liu seemed to be quite interested in this little girl and said with a smile:

"Well, then you might as well take your mother's last name. Shen is not bad either."

Bai Xiaolian shook her head again.

"My grandparents disliked my mother's remarriage and have long since severed ties with us. I don't want to be named Shen either."

As a family of scholars, the Shen family naturally could not accept their daughter marrying someone else, which was a disgrace to the family. What's more, she married a mere juren, which was simply shameful.

For this reason, the Shen family directly announced that they would sever all ties with their daughter Shen Danniang.

Although Bai Xiaolian was young, she still had an impression of the cold eyes and sarcasm of her grandparents, so she naturally did not want to inherit their surname.

Su Liu didn't expect that the life stories of this mother and daughter were so miserable.

Especially the girl Bai Xiaolian, who is not loved by her grandmother and uncle, and only has her biological mother as her only relative and support.

But now, Shibalipu was burned down and their only home was gone.

This powerless orphan and widow were displaced in the chaotic times, and both mother and daughter happened to be extremely good-looking. It is conceivable that they would attract a group of jackals and tigers.

The final outcome that awaits both mother and daughter will surely be extremely tragic.

It's no wonder that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two little bastards, felt sympathy for them and introduced them to the Taoist temple in the mountains...

Su Liu sighed lightly and took a sip of tea, not knowing how to deal with the mother and daughter.

At this moment, Bai Xiaolian, who had always seemed timid, suddenly raised her head and said bravely:

"May I ask your name, Taoist priest?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Danniang was frightened and trembled, and quickly scolded;

"Xiao Lian, don't be rude!"

However, Su Liu did not care much about these secular etiquettes. Not only was he not angry, but he smiled slightly, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a smile:

"I am Su Liu, the Su in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Liu in retaining."

"Suhang's Su...Retain's Liu..."

Bai Xiaolian repeated Su Liu's name several times in her mind and felt that the name was extremely beautiful and filled with an indescribable charm.

"What a nice name..."

And at the next moment, the little girl suddenly had an idea. She didn't know what she was thinking. She seemed to think that the Taoist priest in front of her was very amiable, so she plucked up the courage to say:

"Master, can I...can I take your surname Su?"

Hearing this, Su Liu raised his eyebrows and his expression became a little strange.

Following my last name?

What does this mean? Is she going to be my daughter?

Shen Danniang was so frightened that her face turned pale and she quickly pulled her daughter to her knees, scolding her harshly:

"Xiao Lian, are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Kneel down quickly and apologize to the Taoist priest!"

Chapter 729 Su Liu: Girl, would you like to change your name?

Shen Danniang was not some country woman, but the eldest daughter of a scholarly family. Naturally, she was well-informed, and having run a hotel for many years, she had considerable experience.

Although she was not clear about Su Liu's temperament, she also knew that most people with extraordinary abilities in this world had strange tempers and were difficult to get along with.

Especially for immortals like the Taoist priest in front of him, he must be high above everyone else, with the same intimidating power as a god. How could a mortal dare to disobey him easily?

Xiaolian is such a bold child, she actually dares to make such an impolite request!

Following the Taoist priest's surname? .

What nonsense is this little girl talking about!

Not to mention whether you are worthy of the Taoist priest's surname, you have a biological father, a stepfather, and at worst, you still have your mother. How can you inherit an outsider's surname?

In this feudal era, a person's surname represented belonging.

Therefore, surname is extremely important to everyone. It symbolizes an identity, an identification, and also a brand.

Only parents can give their children a surname.

But now, Bai Xiaolian blurted out that she wanted to take Su Liu's surname?

What is she going to do?

The more Shen Danniang thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but raise her hand and slap Bai Xiaolian hard.

"I've spoiled you over the years!"

"You are such a reckless girl, why don't you kowtow and apologize to the Taoist priest!"

Perhaps it was because of guilt, or perhaps it was because of her love for her daughter, but over the years, no matter what Bai Xiaolian did wrong, Shen Danniang never hit her daughter.

Today was the first time she taught her child a lesson.

It is conceivable how uneasy and angry she was, she had almost lost her mind.

At this moment, Bai Xiaolian finally came to her senses and realized how ridiculous her behavior was. She couldn't help but feel uneasy and fearful, as well as a hint of grievance.

Feeling the burning pain behind her, the girl's stubbornness and obstinacy quietly surged up in her heart. She gritted her teeth, stiffened her neck, and said with tears in her eyes:

"I did nothing wrong!"
