Early the next morning, Lin Yao took Miaomiao to the martial arts school bright and early.
It was the official apprenticeship ceremony today, and as Miaomiao's father, Lin Yao also needed to be present.
The junior assistant had specially looked up a lot of information and stayed up all night to get an ancient jade worth tens of millions, along with top - grade Longjing tea and all sorts of other things.
When they arrived at the martial arts school, the old master was sitting upright in a formal Tang suit.
"The apprenticeship ceremony begins! Invite the founder!"
From behind the hall, the senior apprentice let out a shout and walked out respectfully carrying the statue of the founder, Zhang Sanfeng.
Behind him, several senior and junior apprentices stood in two rows facing each other, looking imposing.
"Lin Miaomiao, kneel!"
The old master lifted his eyes slightly, and Miaomiao immediately knelt on both knees.
"Kowtow."
The senior apprentice placed the statue of the founder on the table beside the old master, arranged the incense burner and offerings, lit three incense sticks, and handed them to the little girl.
Miaomiao took the incense sticks steadily, held them above her head, and kowtowed three resounding times.
After the ceremony, the old master led Miaomiao to read aloud the rules of the sect, then took her forward and inserted the incense sticks into the burner.
After paying respects to the founder, it was time for the apprenticeship. Miaomiao presented the gifts with both hands, served tea, and kowtowed.
The old master gave her a martial arts manual as a return gift and offered words of encouragement.
"The ceremony is completed!"
This whole process took most of the morning. The old master could tell at a glance that the jade pendant Miaomiao presented was extremely valuable, but this time he didn't decline.
True - line apprentices were different from the current students. True - line apprentices were to be regarded as his own children.
It was only natural for a child to show filial piety to their father, and it was also reasonable for a father to love his child.
From now on, he was a "master" rather than just a "teacher".
After the apprenticeship ceremony, Lin Yao had a friendly conversation with the old master. Their relationship was now like that of in - laws, inseparable.
Lin Yao then naturally brought up the matter of renovating the martial arts school, and the old master readily agreed.
The little girl no longer needed to participate in the group training with the senior and junior apprentices. The old master would give her one - on - one instruction in the backyard. He promised to teach her well and help her find a good place in the future.
Seeing that the little girl was so happy every time she came back from the martial arts school, Lin Yao postponed Miaomiao's enrollment in school. He didn't take her to register until a week later.
This time, the teacher who received them was much more approachable. Although she still wore a professional smile, at least she didn't seem aloof. Her eyes looking at Miaomiao were kind and amiable.
It seemed that she really liked children.
Lin Yao was very satisfied with this teacher. To avoid a repeat of what happened last time, he didn't leave after Miaomiao entered the classroom.
The day after Lin Yao decided on this school, Yao Mingxuan was transferred here through the junior assistant's efforts.
This child had not been happy at his previous school for more than a year. He was a bit withdrawn and even showed signs of depression.
As soon as Miaomiao walked into the classroom today, Yao Mingxuan waved his arms to greet her. The other children around didn't give him any strange looks.
The little girl was also happy to see her friend and waved back. Seeing that they knew each other, the teacher directly arranged them to be deskmates.
Yao Mingxuan was gesturing wildly and talking to Miaomiao about something. He looked extremely happy.
The little girl listened with a beaming smile on her face.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yao was completely at ease. Yao Mingxuan had changed so much in just seven days. It seemed that the atmosphere of this school was really as harmonious and loving as the assistant had said.
Seeing that the little girl was adapting well, Lin Yao left for the company with confidence.
When the bell rang for the end of class, many children surrounded Miaomiao, chattering away.
"Miaomiao, you're so pretty! Can I be your friend?"
"How old are you, Miaomiao?"
"My name is Li Chengcheng, Miaomiao!"
"Heroine! Do you remember me?"
A different address suddenly came from among the children, and Miaomiao's attention was immediately drawn.
"Big sister?"
Miaomiao was a bit confused when she saw the little girl in a pink princess dress squeezing forward.
Wasn't this the little sister who had been in a car accident and then abducted by human traffickers? She had really been through a lot.
When the girl saw that Miaomiao recognized her, she got even more excited. Then she realized that her behavior was not very ladylike, so she quickly tidied up her skirt. Blushing, she said, "Actually, I'm only five years old. I just look a bit tall."
"Ah, I'm four." Miaomiao mercilessly interrupted the girl's shy moment, proving with the truth that her address was completely right.
"That's not important. The important thing is that we meet again, heroine. Wuwuwu, we're so fated. It was so chaotic last time that I didn't even have time to get your contact information. I've been waiting day and night, hoping to meet you again. I didn't expect you to transfer to our class. I'm so happy."
The little girl hugged Miaomiao and rubbed against her crazily, expressing her love while rubbing. Her madness was like that of a crazy fan, which was amazing.
"Um... I see..."
The little girl's face was deformed by the rubbing, and she felt it a bit hard to breathe being held so tightly.
The other children around were all stunned by the girl's behavior.
The little girl was a representative of the cold princess in the class. She was beautiful and very popular, but usually she was polite and kept a distance from others. She hardly had much interaction with the other children.
No one had expected that this new transfer student, Miaomiao, would make the girl so enthusiastic.
"Oops, I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Cheng Ruan."
Seeing that Miaomiao was in great discomfort, the little girl quickly let go. She just couldn't hold back her excitement at seeing her idol and savior, and accidentally used too much strength.
"My name is Lin Miaomiao."
"Ah, I know. No, I have to go to the teacher. I want to sit behind you. I want to change my seat!"
Saying that, Cheng Ruan rushed out of the classroom. The other children were all confused. After Cheng Ruan left, they continued to talk to Miaomiao chattering.
Miaomiao had a great day today. The cute little girl had won the hearts of most of the class.
It had to be said that these children in the class were probably all appearance - conscious!
At this moment, having heard that Miaomiao had started school, the little boy Han Shuo rushed to go through the transfer formalities and ran to the class of the school where Miaomiao used to be.
When Han Shuo stepped into the classroom cheerfully, he scanned the whole class but didn't even see a trace of the little girl. His face immediately fell.
For three consecutive days, Han Shuo searched all the classes in the middle, junior, and senior levels but couldn't find Miaomiao.
After asking around, he found out that Miaomiao had transferred away the day before he enrolled.
After learning the reason, Han Shuo grabbed the boy who had bullied Miaomiao and beat him up.
The little boy was beaten for no reason and cried loudly, asking someone to uphold justice.
But after the lesson of Miaomiao's transfer and the loss of the KPI, the teacher didn't care about the little boy's grievance. They just let him cry and didn't even call his parents.
"Hey, Dad, I still want to transfer schools." After beating the little boy, Han Shuo resolutely took out his phone and called his father.
A roar came from the other end of the phone: "You little brat! Don't even think about it! Study hard for me!"
