Chapter 166 He shouldn't have spoken and brought shame upon himself.
After having lunch with Judge Zheng, Yu Ningyao headed to the General's Mansion.
Every day, their master would spend an hour teaching them.
The rest of the time was left for them to practice freely.
Around 5 PM, her guards and maids would take her home.
Therefore, Yu Ningyao decided to use the time between Lu Qingyun's departure and the arrival of the maids and guards to find Tie Tou and the others.
As soon as Lu Qingyun left, Yu Ningyao made an excuse to slip away.
Lu Lingguang stared at her departing figure and quietly followed her.
Seeing Yu Ningyao enter the steamed bun shop, Lu Lingguang was somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that this young lady ran out just to eat a steamed bun?
Are the steamed buns at their general's mansion not as delicious as those outside?
Not long after, she came out carrying a bulging oil paper package.
He continued shopping until he reached the rented house, where his arms were piled high with items that seemed about to collapse.
Yu Ningyao's hands were piled high with food, making it inconvenient to knock. After a moment's thought, she lightly tapped the door knocker with the tip of her embroidered shoe and called out, "Open the door, it's me. I'm here."
Seeing this, Lu Lingguang almost burst out laughing.
Upon hearing her voice, Grey Bean immediately ran over to open the door.
"Miss, you've arrived." Upon seeing her, a smile involuntarily appeared on Grey Bean's face.
"Yes. These are all for you." Yu Ningyao stuffed the things directly into their arms.
Upon seeing this scene, Lu Lingguang couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Little Miss really did have a secret!
Who are these people? He's never seen them before.
After Yu Ningyao went inside, the door closed.
This was no challenge for Lu Lingguang. He leaped lightly and climbed onto the wall, looking down at the scene inside the courtyard.
Besides the boy we saw earlier, there were several other children around the same age as Yu Ningyao.
Both men and women have it.
Lu Lingguang didn't recognize any of them.
He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
He thought he and Yu Ningyao were good friends who had gone through thick and thin together, so why was Yu Ningyao keeping a secret from him?
Yu Ningyao noticed that someone was watching her.
The uncomfortable feeling made her subconsciously look in the direction of her gaze.
Upon looking at him, their eyes met those of Lu Lingguang, who was lost in thought.
Yu Ningyao: ...
Lu Lingguang: ...
Stared at by Yu Ningyao, he could only let out an awkward chuckle.
Then came an even more awkward remark: "Little auntie, what a coincidence. You're here too."
"What a coincidence! What are you doing here?" Yu Ningyao was speechless.
Hearing her question, the children, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine as long as they're acquaintances of the young lady.
"I followed you because I saw you acting suspiciously and thought something was wrong." Lu Lingguang touched the tip of his nose.
"You're the one who's sneaking around!" Yu Ningyao retorted irritably.
"Since you're already here, come down. Don't embarrass yourself up here, or someone will mistake you for a petty thief and report you to the authorities."
"Alright." With that, Lu Lingguang chuckled and jumped down from the wall, his dark robes stirring up a few fallen leaves.
"You all should tidy up the food first," Yu Ningyao said, not intending to explain immediately, but instead directing the children to cook.
She had already asked Tie Tou to buy some rice, vegetables, and meat in advance.
She wasn't sure if the children knew how to cook.
She needs to come and give some guidance today.
"Okay." The children quickly got to work as instructed by Yu Ningyao.
Lu Lingguang found this scene quite novel.
Yu Ningyao comes from a wealthy family, so she shouldn't need to cook herself, right? Why is she so skilled at cooking?
"Does the Yu family really need you to personally take charge of cooking? Why do you seem so skilled at it?" he asked, leaning against a pillar.
"I'm naturally gifted; I can learn anything after just one look. Cooking is such a simple thing, what's so difficult about it?" Yu Ningyao was too lazy to explain to him, so she casually tossed the scallions into the ceramic bowl and made up an excuse to fool him.
Lu Lingguang: ...
He shouldn't have spoken up and brought shame upon himself.
But he was really curious, and soon he couldn't help but ask, "What's your relationship with them? Why did you sneak over here?"
Yu Ningyao knew he wouldn't give up until he got an answer, so she thought for a moment, then pulled him aside and told him her plan.
Lu Lingguang was shocked once again.
Even though they are only a year apart, why does Yu Ningyao consider everything so thoroughly?
He doesn't have any of his own people yet; the people around him who can be of use all listen to his grandfather or grandmother.
They would report everything he did to his grandparents.
He also wanted a group of people of his own!
"Let me join you!" Lu Lingguang's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Don't even think about taking her from me." Yu Ningyao stared at him warily.
“I’m not going to compete with you for these people. What I mean is, I want to raise my own group of people in the future. Can we put them together with yours?” Lu Lingguang explained immediately.
Fearing Yu Ningyao might disagree, he added, "I can be their martial arts instructor. Don't worry, I'm more than capable of teaching them!"
Lu Lingguang became more and more excited as he spoke, rubbing his hands together as if he couldn't wait to take up his post immediately.
After thinking for a moment, Yu Ningyao felt that Lu Lingguang's words made sense.
She went outside to find someone to teach them, but the other person might think she was just a child and try to fool her.
However, Lu Lingguang was a student of General Lu, and he learned all the good things. He was more than capable of teaching these children the basics.
Yu Ningyao nodded in agreement: "Okay. Then you can teach. After that, your people will live here, and I won't charge you rent. Consider it as your tuition fee."
“No problem.” Lu Lingguang reached out and gave her a high five.
The two are so familiar with each other that they don't need to sign a contract; they don't worry about the other party going back on their word.
While the two were chatting, Tie Tou finished preparing the meal.
"Miss, dinner is ready." He came over and invited Yu Ningyao to sit down.
Yu Ningyao nodded and led Lu Lingguang over.
She introduced them to the group.
"My name is Yu Ningyao, and this is Lu Lingguang. He will be teaching you martial arts from now on. He is the grandson of General Lu and has been learning martial arts from the old general since he was a child. He is invincible among his peers and is a very powerful teacher. Don't underestimate him just because of his age."
Hearing her introduce herself like that, Lu Lingguang couldn't help but smile.
Oh dear, this is the first time my great-aunt has ever praised him.
Unbeatable among his peers?
Yes, he likes this title.
The children never expected that this dashing young man was actually the grandson of General Lu, and their fear gradually turned into anticipation.
They instinctively looked at the oldest member, Iron Head.
Seeing Tie Tou nod in agreement, he also nodded in agreement, just like him.
"Don't worry, Miss, we will study hard and live up to your expectations."
Yu Ningyao nodded in satisfaction, gesturing for them to sit down. Then she said, "Now, you can tell me your names and backgrounds."
