The Rebirth of the Fierce Little Cute Girl

Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Never Judge a Book by Its Cover

Guo Ming heard what Xie Yongchao said and laughed, ”Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything to Yiyi at that time. But even if we lose, it’s nothing, just an experience accumulated.” Though he spoke like this, the confidence on his face was unmistakable, showing how much he valued his little apprentice.

Seeing this, Xie Yongchao couldn’t help but smile, ”It’s good that you know in your heart. Let’s put our stuff away first, then we can eat together.”

Guo Ming naturally nodded in agreement.

After Yiyi and her mentor put their things away, they went down to the lobby, where the Xie family father and son were already waiting.

”Brother Guo, let’s go have a meal together.”

Xie Yongchao seemed quite familiar with the place, leading the group directly to the hotel’s restaurant. After sitting down, he let Yiyi and her mentor choose the dishes.

”Brother Xie, you seem pretty familiar with this place, why don’t you order instead?”

Upon hearing this, Xie Yongchao didn’t refuse, saying, ”Alright, I’ll order a few dishes first, then you can see if there’s anything else you’d like to order.” After saying this, he ordered several dishes in succession before handing the menu to Guo Ming.

Guo Ming took a look and directly ordered a few dishes as well.

Once the food arrived, they slowly started eating.

Xie Yongchao was quite curious about Yiyi’s skills, ”Brother Guo, you didn’t let Pei Jin make a move, but directly sent out Yiyi. Could it be that Yiyi’s skills are better than Pei Jin’s?” He had heard his youngest son say that Yiyi had decent skills, but couldn’t be sure how good until he saw it for himself.

Speaking of his little apprentice, Guo Ming was full of pride.

”Yiyi’s skills are quite good. If she were to compete with Pei Jin, she could probably get a draw.”

Hearing this, Xie Yongchao was genuinely surprised. He knew Pei Jin’s skills well, and if Yiyi could really draw with him, wouldn’t that put her on par with Yuan Zhou? Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but clasp his hands toward Guo Ming, saying, ”Congratulations, Brother Guo, for having such a good apprentice.”

”Yuan Guang and Yuan Zhou are also excellent, so it’s mutual congratulations.”

Guo Ming smiled and raised his glass, clinking it with Xie Yongchao’s.

After lunch, Guo Ming and Xie Yongchao planned to go back and rest. They looked at Yiyi, Xie Yuanguang, Xie Yuanzhou, and the others, suggesting that these young ones should take a walk outside. Finally, the Xie brothers took Yiyi out of the hotel.

”Yiyi, since we’re a bit familiar with this place, let us take you around.”

Hearing Xie Yuanguang’s words, Yiyi naturally nodded.

”Alright, let’s go take a look at the street first.”

When the three of them reached the street, they immediately ran into the Wen siblings.

”Yuan Zhou, you’ve arrived as well.” Wen Lin saw Xie Yuanzhou and his group and greeted them with a smile, then curiously looked at Yiyi and asked, ”Young girl, are you here with Yuan Zhou and the others?”

At this moment, Wen Tao also looked at Yiyi with some surprise. She knew that those coming to Jin City were generally here for the martial arts exchange event, and hadn’t expected Yiyi to come along.

Yiyi shook her head, saying, ”I’m not here with them; I came with my mentor.”

”Your mentor?”

Wen Lin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow, ”You have a mentor as well? Are you here for the martial arts exchange event?”

”Yes.”

Seeing Yiyi admit it, the Wen siblings were a bit surprised.

Wen Tao looked Yiyi up and down, saying, ”You don’t look like someone who practices martial arts.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi smiled at Wen Tao and said, ”You don’t look like someone who practices martial arts either, so appearances can be deceiving.”

Hearing this, Wen Tao didn’t say more.

Wen Lin looked curiously at Yiyi, asking, ”Who’s your mentor?”

”Guo Ming.”

Yiyi didn’t hide it.

Since they’ll all participate in the martial arts exchange event, and they would definitely know who her mentor is, there was nothing to conceal.

”Guo Ming? The Master Guo of the Yin sect?”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi nodded directly.

Wen Lin was truly shocked now. He couldn’t have imagined that Yiyi’s mentor would be the Sect Leader of the Yin sect.

Even Wen Tao’s expression changed. Though she had heard the rumors that Master Guo of the Yin sect had accepted an apprentice, she never imagined it would be Yiyi. She skeptically asked, ”Then your martial arts skills must be very good?”

”Not really.”

Yiyi chuckled and said. In her view, her skills were not that great. Having seen the extraordinary skills of her mentor Guo Ming, she felt there was a long way to go for her.

Hearing Yiyi’s words, Wen Tao raised her eyebrows, ”Then once the exchange event starts, let’s have a good spar.”

”Sure.”

Yiyi agreed with a smile. She was quite curious about Wen Tao’s abilities too.

At this point, Wen Lin suggested, ”Yuan Zhou, since we’ve run into each other, why don’t we walk around together?”

Xie Yuanzhou didn’t speak, but Xie Yuanguang smiled and said, ”Alright, Wen Lin, let’s all go together.” Though he wasn’t particularly close with Wen Lin, the families had old ties, so their relationship was still decent.

The group of three turned into five and began leisurely strolling around the street.

But before long, Xie Yuanguang suggested returning, ”The official registration starts at three in the afternoon; let’s head back to the hotel first.”

The others had no objections.

When Yiyi and the others returned, they found many people already seated in the hotel lobby. Many had just arrived and were registering. Naturally, they caught sight of Yiyi’s group, as each member was strikingly attractive, easily drawing eyes. Let alone a whole group.

Xie Yuanguang was quite familiar with the exchange event, and without looking at others, he directly said to Yiyi, ”Let’s head to the hall on the top floor first; the roll call will be there.”

”Alright.”

Yiyi nodded with a smile.

The Wen siblings didn’t return to their rooms but followed along to the top-floor hall.

Once Yiyi and the others arrived, some people had already started registering, and seeing this, they promptly went forward to sign their names.

”Yiyi, you’re back from outside.”

Having taken a nap, Guo Ming felt very refreshed. Seeing his little apprentice, he quickly greeted her with a smile and then asked, ”Did you sign in?”

”Master, we’ve all signed in.”

Hearing this from his little apprentice, Guo Ming smiled and nodded.

The Wen siblings were seeing Guo Ming for the first time, but judging by what Yiyi said, they knew the person in front of them was the Sect Leader of the Yin sect, so they quickly greeted him with ’Master Guo.’

Seeing these two had returned with his apprentice, Guo Ming also responded with a smile. Then he looked at Yiyi and said, ”Come, I’ll take you to meet some people.”

Upon hearing this, Yiyi quickly followed behind Guo Ming, beginning to greet all the uncles and elders present.
