Chapter 23: Special Class
On the training grounds, several young men in their early twenties stood near Instructor Xu. One of them yawned lazily and muttered, "Master, what did you summon us so early for today?"
“Isn’t it obvious? Another potential disciple caught his eye!”
“Aren’t we here to check out the two study attendants of the Seventh Young Master?”
These young men were all guards of the Zhao family estate, but they shared a closer relationship with Instructor Xu than the others.
While all Zhao family guards were trained by him and nominally considered his disciples, this small group had formally bowed and served tea to acknowledge him as their master. One of them was even his nephew by blood.
Thanks to Instructor Xu's favor, they had progressed quickly and now held positions of responsibility across various Zhao family properties. Their busy schedules meant it was rare for them to gather like this unless summoned by their master.
As they stood around, curiosity filled the air about the reason behind the summons.
“Today, one of those kids shows great promise. If things go as expected, he’ll be your junior disciple soon enough,” Instructor Xu said with a grin.
