Chapter 10: Aunt Joy

Under normal circumstances, a knight's manor cannot retain talents with high professional titles. However, Wei Lun is different; he has a deep attachment to his homeland. Therefore, despite the numerous offers from various parties in Saihei Town wishing to employ him, he declined them all.

The advanced title is indeed a remarkable achievement for the knight's manor. It is also the second advanced title in the entire manor, including the surrounding villages, since Scott became a senior knight.

Sean smiled faintly, not knowing how many times this was that she had overcooked the meal. However, at this moment, he had plenty of delicious food to enjoy.

Tilting his head slightly, Sean thought with a hint of malice

Sean looked up and saw a familiar and friendly face. He wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said, "Hello, Aunt Joy. Dad is working in the fields"

Vilon is the blacksmith in the Knight's Manor, and he is the most skilled blacksmith. Three months ago, he went to the nearest town, Seihe Town, to participate in the advanced blacksmith examination. Considering the time, it is now also the time for him to return.

By the thirtieth day, Sean's body had fully adapted to the reaction speed of his consciousness. Moreover, through training in the virtual space and physical exercise in reality, his success rate in striking the white line had exceeded fifty percent.

At least in this manor, Wei Lun's words carry a certain weight. As Wei Lun's only sister, Qiao Yi naturally rises in prominence.

A crisp and clear sound came through, and Sean effortlessly retracted the large axe, which had initially felt quite heavy to him, but now seemed almost weightless in his hands

Having the experience of a previous life, Sean naturally understood Bond's concerns. However, to be honest, while he did not mind having an additional stepmother in this life, he would politely decline any suggestion to take the initiative in matchmaking.

Uncle Weilin has returned, and he is still recruiting apprentices and books? Sean thought for a moment and then smiled, saying: He must have been promoted, otherwise it would be impossible to recruit so many apprentices at once

What puzzled Sean was that although both parties had mutual intentions, they never seemed to cross that line

Certainly, this matter should be left for the old Bond to contemplate himself; if he were to bring it up, it would indeed be rather shocking.

The second set of radio calisthenics, performed daily with thousands of repetitions, is not practiced in vain; the increase in strength is undoubtedly the most prominent aspect of the body's various functions

There was a hint of pride on Joy's face, and indeed, having such a brother in this world is something to be proud of

Seeing his son suddenly so passionate about chopping wood, and achieving such remarkable results, Old Bond truly felt a mix of surprise and delight

Thirty days have passed, and every day in Sean's backyard, the sound of chopping has been incessant, with the firewood cut at home increasing day by day

Joy is a widow from the village. After her husband passed away, she opened a grocery store in the village. The locals primarily engage in bartering, so she would take the items she received to Knight Manor to sell. Although her earnings were not substantial, they were more than enough to make a living.

Sometimes Sean even speculated that Bond had bought that old horse not merely for his own farming, but more likely to facilitate Joy in transporting goods to the knight's estate

Will Old Bond and himself also benefit from this matter?

Bond and Joy have a good relationship; every time Joy goes to the Knight's estate, he borrows Bond's old horse.

Upon returning, he immediately recruited apprentices, clearly indicating that he has successfully advanced.

Joy walked in, set down the basket in her hands, and said: "Here is a bit of food; I accidentally made too much. You and your son can eat it later. Especially you, *Tu* Shu, you've been working so hard these past few days; you should take some time to replenish yourself."

Moreover, with the practice of the third section of the radio calisthenics, Sean's control has significantly improved, which is the primary reason he can strike the white line and achieve a success rate of over 50% consistently.

At this moment, his speed in chopping wood significantly increased, even surpassing the limit that Old Bond could achieve in a single day

Sean, when Bond returns, please tell him that I will be going to the estate tomorrow and ask him to lend me the horse for a while

Although there are quite a few people in the village, the items purchased at the grocery store can often be used for a long period of time. Therefore, generally speaking, Joy only visits the knight's estate once a month

Certainly, although Joy did not say anything, Sean still knew that the treatment that Wei Lun enjoyed upon his return this time must have undergone a tremendous change

Oh, this time my brother wants to recruit a few apprentices, and three young men from the village have signed up. On their first visit to the estate, we certainly cannot let them leave.

Sean, why are you still chopping wood, Bond

He discovered that as long as his posture was correct and there was no deviation in the striking point, he could split the wooden board in front of him in two with just one axe stroke. However, if there was even a slight error, he often could not achieve even one-third of the depth.

Expressing sincere gratitude, Sean suddenly felt that perhaps there should be another woman at home who could take on the role of a housekeeper

Snap

Thus, he consciously slowed down his movements slightly, concentrating his mind intensely before each swing of the axe, his gaze becoming exceptionally sharp. It is often at this moment that he is able to consistently hit the white line with optimal timing

Selling all this firewood has indeed earned more money than farming, but for Old Bond, he still hopes that his son can return to work in the fields

"Alright, Aunt Joy," Sean casually asked, "Are you leaving so soon? Didn't you just go last week?"
