C42 (1/2)

When Yu Lianzhou heard that the young beggar said he was only 14 years old, she was slightly shocked. Then, she carefully sized him up, but because of the dirt on his face, it was difficult to see his true appearance.

Yu Lianzhou grabbed his arm and brought out the bone feeling technique she had learnt from her master to touch his bone.

”Bro, what are you doing?” That person felt Yu Lianzhou's grip on his arm hurt slightly, and then he pinched himself hard. He felt extremely uncomfortable, and he twisted his body to try and struggle free.

”Don't move!” Yu Lianzhou said in a low voice.

When that person saw Yu Lianzhou's serious tone and indescribable aura, he was immediately intimidated and didn't dare to move. Occasionally, he was pinched by Yu Lianzhou, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly and could only endure it.

Not long after, Yu Lianzhou's hand reached out and touched his spine, feeling it bit by bit, slower than her previous probing movements.

Yu Lianzhou exclaimed softly in her heart as she praised in her heart, ”Such great Innate Ability. If I were to cultivate martial arts, I would definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.”

”Are you really fourteen years old?” Yu Lianzhou asked him after she had finished touching his bone.

”This …” The person stuttered for a moment before awkwardly smiling and said, ”I won't hide this from you, brother. I, Xu Que, am 14 years old.”

”What about the year?” Yu Lianzhou looked at the person in front of her with a smile.

The person looked uncomfortable under Yu Lianzhou's gaze. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, ”Twelve years old …”

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately reacted and raised his head. He quickly said, ”Me will be thirteen after the new year.”

”Twelve years old … I'm not that old yet.” Yu Lianzhou thought to herself, it wasn't too late to start practicing martial arts at this age. If they started after another one or two years, they would miss the best time to build their foundation. Even if they had good roots, it would still be extremely difficult for them to tread on the road of martial arts in the future.

”What Thirteen?”

Suddenly, a slightly aged voice rang out beside their ears. Yu Lianzhou and the little beggar beside them turned their heads and discovered that it was Elder Xu who had come to their side.

The two quickly greeted him: ”Greetings Elder Xu.”

It turned out that the person who had spoken just now was Elder Xu. It was only with great difficulty that Elder Xu managed to calm the people within the temple, and only then did he recall the earlier conversation between the younger brothers in the temple. He glanced around the temple, then walked over to the two people who were lowering his head in conversation and heard some words.

Elder Xu immediately stopped the two, saying: ”There's no need to be so polite, our Beggar's Gang does not have many rules.”

Elder Xu changed the subject and said to the little beggar: ”Just now you said 'Thirteen', what did that mean?”

The little beggar reacted and immediately explained, ”It's like this. What I mean is that after New Year, I will be 13 years old.”

”Thirteen... and a child.” When Elder Xu heard the little beggar's reply, he muttered this sentence.

The little beggar didn't hear Elder Xu's mutterings, but turned around and said to Yu Lianzhou, ”I, La Yue, was born on a birthday at a young age, and I am already 14 years old. This can't be counted as a lie.”

After the little beggar said this, he gave an awkward laugh. Yu Lianzhou found this funny and only said to him, ”This year, I'm sixteen. After the new year, I'll be seventeen.”

Ah!” Hearing this, the little beggar cried out before muttering to himself, ”Then I can't be the big brother anymore.
