Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life 167 Our Way

Of course, it was voluntary whether one wanted to join The Elder after they retired. The Elder was the reason why Bai Family's foundation was unshakeable. Each of their generations at least had two members at The Elder.

This generation, the Bai Family had three members in The Elder. However, their Elders could not be contacted for two years. What was making worse, the other families started to get to know about this.

The Bai Family was one of the Star City's founders, they had a long history and inheritance. The other families were drooling over their secret techniques. It was normal if one day the other families were against them to get the secret technique.

When Bai Xin Yue brought this topic up, the excited Bai Shuang'er lowered her head depressedly. Losing the Elders meant they were losing their protectors. The fact that the Bai Family could stand strong until now because of the support of the Elders.

No force dared to annoy even a single Elder, let alone three at once. However. The current Bai Family was no longer under The Elder's protection.

The Wu Family and the Royal Family of the Regal Kingdom seemed to catch the wind news of their Elder's disappearance. Both Families proposed to marry their scions to Bai Xin Yue, but Bai Xin Yue herself always delayed her answer.

She knew both families only wanted their secret technique, not her. The current Bai Family did not have the male successor to continue the legacy, they might use this marriage to get the secret technique.

Bai Xin Yue did not want the secret technique that developed by her ancestors fell to outsiders. That was why, when she found Sun Zhou Yi Master's existence, she was so determined to pull this master to his family.

Sun Zhou Yi's Master knew more advanced techniques than her family, just like the Sword Ki he taught to Sun Zhou Yi. So, by marrying Heero, her family would be under the protection of Sun Zhou Yi's Master.

Yes, this protection she wanted from Heero, not the advanced technique. Such a figure would not covet their family's technique.

Of course, Bai Xin Yue was taking a gamble. After all, she still did not know the Heero's limit, how strong he was compared to the Emperor Class Heroes and the Elders.

Looking at the depressed Bai Shuang'er, Bai Xin Yue messed her hair and said with a smile, "It's okay, I won't sacrifice my happiness. He is still young, good looking, and I heard he has a decent bearing! I guess he is much better than any men in the core region,"

Even though she was looking for protection from Heero, she also treated her marriage seriously. She would try her best to be a good wife for her husband and her children.

Hearing this, the depressed Bai Shuang'er mischievously smiled as she took a book from the drawer next to her, "I know you are being serious all this time. You are not even a couple yet, but you already read this kind of book,"

A thick book with a gentlewoman as cover. The woman was wearing an apron, smiling gently and "How to Become an Ideal Wife?" written on the book cover.

Looking at the book, Bai Xin Yue instantly blushed. Her eyes enlarged in shock as she instantly recognized the book. It was her book which she had been reading recently. Her hand instantly moved, intending to take the book from her sister's hand.

However, Bai Shuang'er had anticipated this move and managed to dodge. With a mischievous, she teased her big sister, "Hahaha… If the people know their famous Ice Queen reading this kind of book… Hahaha…"

Bai Shuang'er laughed aloud as she found her sister's action, reading this kind of book somewhat silly. Of course, she was laughing as she imagined what kind of expression her sister's fan would make if they knew this.

"Shuang'er! Return the book to me, now!" Bai Xin Yue pounced at her sister and both sisters were messing around on the bed as if they were forgetting the depressed atmosphere a moment ago.

Next Morning

Heero was doing his routine, making dough for the noodles. His wives also accompanied him, only the sound of kneading dough could be heard in the kitchen.

Pyak! Pyak! Pyak!

Heero slammed the round dough into the board and wrapped it with plastic. He put the dough aside and drank the water he had prepared next to him. As he prepared to make the next dough, out of nowhere, Hong Yu asked a startling question.

"Dear, what do you think of Sister Seo-Yeon? Isn't she pretty?"

Cough! Cough! Cough!

Heero let out a series of coughs and he spat the water that was about to enter his body. Then, he turned around, looking at Hong Yu with a bewilderment look plastered on his face. He did not find his wives felt sorry at all.

Hong Yu and Han Ying giggled at their husband's reaction.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Heero certainly felt weird about the question. There no wife would ask whether the other woman was pretty or not. Furthermore, Hong Yu knew that Kang Seo-Yeon confessed to him once.

Puzzlement was written all over his face, but then he remembered his first disciple's story. 'Don't tell me…'

"Nothing, just asking~" Hong Yu replied while giggling and they continued their work. With a frown, Heero continued making dough with a frown on his face.

Tiring! Tiring! Tiring!

At the same time, the bell rang. Heero wanted to say that the shop was still not open. He looked up, but he found out the one who entered the shop was not a customer, it was his disciple. Musashi Hirata entered the shop along with two old ladies, wearing traditional kimonos.

"Oh, you are back~" Heero was happy as Musashi Hirata took care of his matters smoothly. It was apparent from his tone. The two girls were curious about what made their husband happy, they looked at the entrance and found Hirata and two old ladies.

However, both girls startled to see Hirata dashed to the kitchen. Yes, Hirata dashed and then, he leaped through the counter, entering the kitchen through unusual means.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, the first thing he did was hugging their husband. They witnessed the composed and cold Hirata happily hugged Heero. Musashi Hirata unusually emotional after coming back from his clan.

Not only the two girls, but even Heero also bewildered as to why his disciple turned out like this. It was rare for Musashi Hirata to get emotional like this. He was always composed and talked everything with a cool head.

As he hugged Hirata, he noticed the two old ladies smiled at him. A smile that expressed happiness from the bottom of their hearts. Even without his disciple telling him, he could make a guess who they were.

"Master, Thank you~" It was only a short sentence, but all his feelings were expressed by the short sentence.

After a couple of minutes of dramatic reunion, Musashi Hirata introduced her mother to his Master.

"Thank you! Thank you for everything you did for my son~" Lady Yuka expressed her gratitude as tears swelled in her eyes.

There were so many words, she wanted to convey to Heero, but those words stuck in her throat. She just did not know where to start and kept thanking Heero.

"Haha… It's okay, Auntie! It's my responsibility to guide him as his Master," Heero nodded his head. He did not know that Musashi Hirata's mother was about the same as him, so he called her with Auntie.

"I… cough… cough…" Lady Yuka wanted to continue talking with Heero, but it stopped because of the cough.

"Hirata, bring your mother to take a rest. She must be tired after the long journey," Heero ordered Hirata and looked at the old lady with a gentle smile, "Auntie, let's continue the talk later. From now on, we will meet more often,"

Hirata nodded his head and brought her mother to the building next to the noodle shop. This place was reserved just in case if Heero wanted to expand the shop.

However, Han Ying never planned to expand the shop. Hirata once said that his mother was good at making ramen. Hirata asked if he could buy the shop, so his mother would not be idle while staying here. Heero agreed and gave the building to Hirata.

"Hmm… With her condition, it will be almost impossible for her to take care of a ramen shop…" Heero muttered in a low voice after Hirata brought his mother back.

"I thought she was Hirata's grandma…" Hong Yu nodded her head. Lady Yuka looked too old for someone in her early forties.

With a worried look, Han Ying asked her husband, "Dear, can you help her?"

Heero rubbed his chin and nodded his head, "I can help to nourish her body back…"

Three days later

Heero gathered all his five disciples at his Martial House, at the empty hall of the first floor. Bai Xin Yue and Kang Seo-Yeon accompanied him.

Today, he intended to open the Martial House officially as Hong Yu also started to open her preschool. With only his five current disciples, Heero did the opening with only a simple way, by hanging board in the hall.

"Our way, not in order to change the world, but in order not to let the world change us!" It was written with a bright red on the board.

With the board hung on the wall, the martial house was opened officially. From today onwards, their activity would start from this building.
