"Master, that foreign man is here again," Old Master Xu's aide said.
Old Master Xu sighed, "He doesn't give up, isn't he?" mumbled Old Master Xu. "How long since he came to beg me to take him as a disciple?" asked Old Master Xu.
"It has been three months, Master," said Lu.
Nodding his head, Old Master Xu had a pondering look on his face. After thinking for a few minutes, "Call him in," said Old Master Xu.
Lu bowed towards Old Master Xu and went away to call for the man.
"Who is it, grandpa?" asked Leila.
"It's a foreigner who wants to learn the ancient martial arts of Cratia," replied Old Master Xu.
"A foreigner interested in learning martial arts? Is it allowed?" asked Leila.
Before Old Master Xu could answer Leila, footsteps were heard coming towards the inner room.
