"Young Master, don't worry too much! Since the Grand Master settled in Chengdu Prefecture, our Xue family has lived here for decades, with vast friends and deep roots, which are not comparable to those of Lin Lei, an outsider." Xue Fu said toughly: "Even if we can't raise all the money in one day, Lin Lei will not want to take away our house. We will fight this lawsuit with him! I will ask those officials who have taken good care of our Xue Prefecture to make this lawsuit beneficial to us. As long as we delay for two or three months, we will definitely borrow money and repay the debt!"

"Can this... work?" Xue Chang was skeptical.

"Young master, don't worry! You will stay at home tomorrow to prevent the people from the Sihai Escort Agency from making trouble. I will go out to find the help of the master's former friends." Xue Fu comforted.

"...then thank you for your hard work." Xue Chang had no other way to imagine, so he could only say: "Let Xiaowu follow you tomorrow and he can also help you run errands."

“Okay.”

When the two returned to the backyard, Zhang came up and asked with concern: "What do people from the Sihai Escort Bureau want to break into the house?!"

Xue Chang was about to speak, Xue Fu said first: "Madam, the young master defeated the young escort leader of the Sihai Escort Agency last night. This was a fair fight. The Lin Manzi felt embarrassed and sent someone to scare the young master, but he was just talking and didn't dare to take action at all."

"I heard from the master that among all the escort agencies on this street, only the Sihai escort agency is incompatible with us." Zhang immediately said with concern: "Chang'er, you have to be more careful. Isn't the master's senior monk still in Chengdu? Can you find an opportunity to tell him about this and let him find a way to protect your safety? It's best to invite him to live in our mansion!..."

Seeing the anxious Zhang, Xue Chang understood the reason why the old butler didn't tell the truth. He squeezed out a smile: "Auntie, please relax. I will take good care of myself, and our entire home will be very safe. This is the promise given to me by the Military Inspection Office last night!"

After hearing Xue Chang's words, Zhang felt relieved.

Afterwards, Xue Chang and Xue Fu did not mention anything about Mao Jichun and the debt.

However, what happened this afternoon greatly stimulated Xue Chang. He thought that after returning to the Chengdu family, he could get rid of the hardships and enjoy a stable and prosperous life. Who knew that there were greater troubles waiting for him and might even threaten his life. The reason for all this is that he was too weak.

So after dinner, Xue Chang was impatient to call the five disciples who had been playing hard in the afternoon to the martial arts training ground, urging Xu Xi, Hu Qiudi and Fan Yu to practice martial arts, while Xue Wu and Xue Yuting were taught separately by him.

Xue Chang originally thought that the younger sister who was unwilling to do so would be more resistant to this, but she did not expect that she would be enthusiastic. After asking the reason, she found out that Hu Qiudi talked to her about Huang Rong's story while shopping, which opened her eyes to the little girl who was used to staying in the small space of the boudoir. It turned out that a woman who practiced martial arts would actually have such brilliant and elegant actions in the vast world, which greatly aroused her interest in practicing martial arts.

Then when Xue Chang taught them "Qingxin Jue", Xue Yuting was able to accurately grasp the pronunciation of those letters. Compared with this, Xue Wu was much worse. Xue Chang repeatedly taught him for a quarter of an hour, and his pronunciation seemed a bit stiff and weird. But Xue Chang still acted very patient because he knew that honest and inferior children like Xue Wu should try to criticize as little as possible and encourage more, otherwise it would only make him less confident.

Next, Xue Chang began to teach them the internal skills - Shaolin breathing method.

After practicing martial arts over the past few months, Xue Chang has gained his own preliminary understanding of martial arts in this world. He believes that internal strength is the foundation of martial arts. Putting aside internal strength and practicing moves is nothing more than martial arts performance. Therefore, he attaches great importance to internal strength and is very serious about his professors. Moreover, with the experience of the first three apprentices, he can tell more vivid images, allowing two apprentices who have not yet entered the threshold of martial arts to better understand and master them.

"Did you understand?"

"I understand." Xue Yuting answered briskly.

"...Ming...No..." Xue Wu looked embarrassed and blushed, but he didn't dare to say it.

Xue Yuting glanced at him and showed a little contempt.

Xue Chang smiled and said, "It's better to do it once than say it a thousand times. Let's try to breathe first, so that it will be easier for you two to understand. Xiaowu, come and demonstrate."

"Ah...I..." Xue Wu was a little at a loss.

Xue Chang said without allowing him to refuse: "Now you sit cross-legged first."

Although Xue Wu was nervous, he still sat obediently on the grass in the martial arts training ground.

"Straighten your upper body...but relax your whole body... Yes, don't tighten your body, relax your muscles... Alternate your hands and place them lightly below your navel. It's where Guanyuan acupoint is..." Xue Chang corrected Xue Wu's posture and said softly: "Now you close your eyes and smell it carefully. What does the air smell?"

"The smell of mud... and the smell of willow... and..." Xue Wu was really shaking his nose and carefully distinguished it.

"Very good. It is these smells from heaven and earth that are mixed in the air that keep us awake and not wanting to sleep. This is what I said before, and the breathing method is to breathe the good things in the air into our bodies and store them to prevent us from getting sick. Do you understand?"

After Xue Chang said that, Xue Wu's eyes lit up and nodded repeatedly. Removing diseases and eliminating disasters is the most common wish of the people.

"Now, close your eyes, you can only have one thought in your mind, to suck the good things in the air into your body and store them..." Xue Chang said, reaching out to touch Xue Wu's nose: "The tip of your tongue gently touches the upper palate, and start sucking slowly... Let the good things you sucked in through your throat... through your chest... through your stomach... to get here-"

Xue Chang's fingers gently twitched down from Xue Wu's body, and finally pressed them on his palm. His voice was low and slow: "Storage these good things here, and then start exhale slowly... Let some dirty things stored here pass through the belly on it... through the chest... through the throat... exhale from the nostrils..."

While Xue Wu was conducting a demonstration, Xue Yuting watched carefully, and with every finger-touching Xue Chang, she silently recited in her heart: "Lien Quan, Tiantu, Danzhong, Zhongwan, Guanyuan (Dantian)..."

After Xue Chang guided Xue Wu to take two breaths, she said, "Now you understand how to breathe, do you?"

Xue Wu nodded violently. This time he really understood, and it felt quite simple.

Xue Chang got up and lit a stick of incense stick, placed the incense burner in front of the two of them, and said, "Next, you both sit cross-legged and start silently reciting the Qingxin Art ten times, and then calm down. After the incense stick is burned, you can officially start practicing Shaolin breathing internal energy."

Xue Yuting looked at the ground a little hesitant.

Xue Chang understood her thoughts and said inspiration: "Little sister, I don't even dare to sit on the grass. How can I become a heroine who is brave in the wind and snow in the future?"

Xue Yuting bent down, supported the grass with her hands, and sat down slowly. Suddenly she smiled: I did a lot of things I didn’t dare to do in the past today, laughed loudly on the street, ate while walking, drank a little rice wine, and sat directly on the ground without a cloth towel... It seems really interesting to be a martial artist!

After seeing that both of them were practicing seriously, Xue Chang turned his attention to the other three apprentices, and happened to see Fan Yu, who was a little relaxed in practicing boxing.

"Little Mastiff, is it like this how you practice the starting posture of Luohan Fist? It's loose and sluggish, standing still without standing posture!"

"Master, I have practiced it three times, and I am really tired. Besides, this is a monk's gesture of respect. I am not a monk, so it is normal not to do this starting move well."

"Don't make reasons for yourself!" Xue Chang was a little angry and looked at the three disciples: "The same is true for you two. This Arhat Fist starts with a relatively careless move. Do you think this starts with a gesture that only expresses the compassion of Shaolin monks?!"
