From the family treasure tree to build an eternal family

Chapter 55: Filial Piety
"Please advise!"

As soon as Qi Xiaping finished speaking, he took the lead in attacking.

The first attack is the fierce Tiger Roar Fist, which is the most basic move in the Bear and Tiger Physical Training.

Xu Xiaogou judged that the other party's progress in standing meditation was better than his, and his speed and strength were slightly better than his.

He was neither hasty nor slow, and did not engage head-on, but countered each move. He dodged when he could, and blocked when he couldn't.

He fought steadily, not giving his opponent any chances, while also judging the level of his opponent's moves.

"Boom bang bang..."

The two sides exchanged punches and kicks, fighting back and forth.

"good."

Fu Yuanzhen nodded repeatedly, expressing his approval of Xu Xiaogou. He had thought Xu Xiaogou was going to go out of bounds, but he had averted the crisis.

No wonder his daughter proposed "armed fight". She wanted to make the Qi family admit defeat with conviction.

With his keen eyesight, he naturally saw that Xu Xiaogou's ability was far superior to Qi Xiaping's.

Xu Xiaogou was much more capable than he had imagined, and Qi Xiaping was not as good as Qi Chunshan boasted.

"Chunshan, what a pity! Your son will lose if this continues."

"Forehead……"

Qi Chunshan's face looked grim. He didn't expect that his son would meet such a gifted person.

----

On the stage.

Qi Xiaping couldn't help getting impatient after a long time of attacking without success. He also realized that he had almost no chance of winning.

"Hey, kid!"

He turned his back to Fu Yuanzhen and the others, lowered his voice, and forced the sound into a straight line so that only Xu Xiaogou could hear it.

"If you beat me, you'll never learn the subsequent content of the Bear Tiger Posture to advance to the Xiantian realm!"

In order to win, he completely lost his mind and actually threatened Xu Xiaogou in this way.

The content of Xionghu Zhuanggong that can help one advance to the innate level can only be learned in the Xionghu School.

"what?"

"Are you saying that if I win, I won't be allowed to learn the innate content of the Bear Tiger Posture?"

Xu Xiaogou exclaimed in surprise.

When he said this, everyone present changed their expressions drastically.

"Enough! Xia Ping!"

Qi Chunshan took a few steps forward and yelled at Qi Xiaping to stop.

Hearing this scolding, Qi Xiaping not only did not stop, but continued to attack because of the anger of being exposed by Xu Xiaogou.

This time Xu Xiaogou did not hold back. There was a gap between the two in terms of martial arts moves. He twisted his body and used the Bear Lean technique at an angle that Qi Xiaping could hardly understand, pushing him away.

Qi Xiaping's body flew five or six meters away and crashed outside the platform.

He was horrified and couldn't believe there was such a huge gap between him and the poor boy in the village.

In his own martial arts school, he defeated all his peers, even those who were a few years older than him and whose progress in standing practice was not much better than his.

However, this time, in front of his father, Fu Yuanzhen, and Fu Zhiyi, he lost this battle that was related to the most important event in his life...

He really couldn't afford to lose, so he lost his mind and threatened Xu Xiaogou.

When he came to his senses now, he realized how big a mistake he had made.

----

"I accept defeat, I accept defeat~~"

Qi Chunshan forced himself to smile awkwardly and said to Fu Yuanzhen, "Brother Yuanzhen, congratulations on having such a good son-in-law. Your son-in-law is extremely gifted in martial arts and will surely become a master in the future."

After that, he turned to Xu Xiaogou and said, "My son said something wrong just now because he was too eager to win. It was not his intention.

When you have mastered the third level of the桩功, feel free to come to my martial arts school and I will teach you the innate content of the Bear and Tiger桩功 for free.

You are Brother Yuanzhen's son-in-law, which means you are my nephew's son-in-law. We are all family."

Eager to win?

Xu Xiaogou was disdainful in his heart, but he maintained politeness on the surface: "Master Qi, you are worrying too much. I don't take it to heart."

Qi Chunshan was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he took Qi Xiaping away.

This time his old face was completely disgraced by his son.

"Humph."

When Fu Yuanzhen saw the two men walking away, disgust appeared in his eyes.

For those who practice martial arts, martial ethics comes first. He hates people without martial ethics the most.

Fortunately, he did not betroth his daughter to Qi Xiaping. From his reaction at the critical moment, we can see that this person has evil intentions.

He looked at Xu Xiaogou, his eyes full of satisfaction at his son-in-law: "You have a good understanding, and your moves are very clever. I will give you some pointers when I have the chance."

"Thank you, Sect Master Fu!"

Xu Xiaogou was very excited. Fu Yuanzhen was a martial arts master. He would definitely benefit greatly from his guidance. "You still call me Sect Master?"

Fu Zhiyi smiled and said, this is the man she likes, excellent! She knows Xiao Gou's strength well, and it is difficult to find an opponent under his innate talent.

Not only did it make the father and son of the Qi family convinced, but it also made me want to show off a little bit.

"Uncle Fu."

Xu Xiaogou changed his words and called him uncle.

"Okay, call me uncle first, and then change it in a few days, haha."

Fu Yuanzhen smiled brightly and said, "It's time for dinner. Wash up first, then stay for dinner."

----

After washing up, Xu Xiaogou ate in the Fu family's kitchen.

He felt like he was dreaming; he hadn't expected things to be so easy. At first, he thought it would take a lot of hard work.

"Xiao Gou, how is my husband's cooking?"

Fu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat, eating and chatting with Xu Xiaogou.

He is a rough warrior with a casual personality and is not very particular about rules.

"Uncle, your husband's cooking skills are amazing. They're even better than the food in a restaurant. It must be very expensive. My nanny only makes 800 wen a month, and she only cooks home-cooked meals, and the taste is average."

"It's not that expensive. Three cooks make twenty taels of silver a month."

Fu Yuanzhen knew that Xu Xiaogou's words were flattering, but he felt comfortable listening to them.

"Where do you plan to live after you and Ayi get married?"

"..."

Xu Xiaogou hadn't thought about this question. He guessed what his father-in-law meant: "I haven't thought about it carefully. My family is busy and you don't have to worry about food. We have meat every meal and Zhiyi doesn't have to work.

If Zhiyi wants to live in the city, that's fine too. We can find a place to live or buy a small yard..."

His father-in-law was simply worried that his daughter would not have a good life after marriage and that the gap in their living standards would be too big.

"Ayi has never suffered hardship since she was a child. She was spoiled by me and her three brothers. I can help her with her daily life. The Fu family is so wealthy that they are not stingy and will not spend money on their daughter and son-in-law.

But...I have a request."

This request was what Fu Yuanzhen had just thought of.

"You say."

"I'll buy you a house in the city. You can live there after you get married, and you don't have to worry about daily expenses. With your martial arts talent, you can be a master in my martial arts school.

However, you have to split up the family, and I cannot have any financial dealings with your family.

I'm not asking you to marry into my family, your child will still have the surname Xu."

Fu Yuanzhen felt that his conditions were very generous and treated Xu Xiaogou as his own son.

He could support his married daughter and son-in-law, but he couldn't subsidize the Xu family. The Xu family still had several sons, and he didn't want to suffer in vain.

"This……"

Xu Xiaogou hesitated.

He knew his father-in-law's proposal was a good one. Anyone else would have agreed without hesitation, but he couldn't agree.

"Why, do you think it's embarrassing to be a gigolo?"

Fu Yuanzhen frowned. He was so generous, but Xu Xiaogou was still hesitating?

"Uncle Fu, it's not about losing face. It's about me not being able to split up the family or cut off contact with my family.

My parents paid for my martial arts training, and my brothers and sisters saved money. I finally got some skills, so I have to be filial to my parents and take care of my brothers..."

Xu Xiaogou was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and wanted to explain what he meant clearly.

This question is indeed very important.

His father had told him that the Xu family would always be a large family and that they could not be divided. They would shoulder difficulties together and share happiness together.

"Can't split the family? Humph, I think you are not sincere."

"I...Uncle Fu, my name is Xiao Gou, and my generation name is filial piety. Other conditions can be discussed, but I really can't cut off contact with my family."

[Filial piety, loyalty, propriety, benevolence, wisdom, and virtue...]

The first character of the Hundred Character Classic compiled by his father is "filial piety", which he has memorized and written countless times since he was a child.

"You'd rather not marry Ayi than separate from your family?"

Fu Yuanzhen raised his voice, and the martial arts master's aura made Xu Xiaogou breathless.

"……Yes."

Xu Xiaogou lowered his head.

Fu Zhiyi was anxious and grabbed Fu Yuanzhen's arm and said coquettishly: "Dad, I don't need you to buy a house. I will live with Xiao Gou and will not suffer. Dad, please don't force him~~"

"Good! What a filial generation."

Fu Yuanzhen didn't necessarily want Xu Xiaogou to split up the family business; he just wanted to see how persistent Xu Xiaogou could be.

"Your parents raised a good son."
