I studied abroad in modern times

On the training ground, there were several young men in their early twenties standing next to Master Xu. One of them yawned lazily: "Master, why did you ask us to come here so early?"

"Of course, there is another apprentice I like!"

"Aren't we going to see the two servants of the Seventh Young Master today?"

These young men are the guards of the Zhao Mansion, but they have a closer relationship with Master Xu than other guards.

Although the guards of the Zhao Mansion were all taught by Master Xu, they are nominally his apprentices.

But these people were serving tea and paying respects to Master Xu in a serious manner, calling Master Xu Master, and one of them was Master Xu's nephew.

With Master Xu's care, they developed very quickly, and they were also independent in various industries of the Zhao family, and they were all very busy. If Master Xu hadn't summoned them today, it would not be so easy to get together.

At this time, these people were a little curious about the purpose of Master Xu calling them here.

"One of the guys today is quite talented. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be your junior apprentice in the future."

"Wait." The young man who just yawned reacted: "Seventh Young Master's book boy? Is he willing to guard the house like us?"

It's not that he is self-deprecating. No matter how much Master Xu can protect them, he doesn't have the support of the Seventh Young Master.

If he is a book boy, he may be a housekeeper. Who wants to be a poor guard who gets up early and goes to bed late every day, working in the wind and rain?

"Is it shameful to be my apprentice? Besides, he must be able to hold the position of book boy!" Hearing this, Master Xu snorted: "I'll wait until he is driven away by the Seventh Young Master, and then I will ask the lady for mercy."

Several young people looked at each other and felt that what their master said made sense.

Who in the Zhao family doesn't know the Seventh Young Master's bad temper?

None of his book boys lasted long.

"Then why did the master call us here?"

"First, you get to know him first, and take care of him if he gets into trouble in the future."

"Master, you really value this kid." The young man who spoke first curled his lips and muttered.

"Second, the little guy has good talent, and I guess he will learn martial arts quickly. I'm afraid he will be arrogant..."

"I understand! It's a show of power!"

The young men looked at each other and rubbed their hands.

"Who told you to fight! You just talk and make noises on the side to let them know that there are always people better than you."

Now these young people are really sure that their master really values ​​this young junior brother who has not yet entered the sect, and is afraid that he will hurt him.

...

When Zheng Fa and Gao Yuan arrived at the training ground, they were stared at by several inquiring eyes, which made them feel a little uncomfortable.

He didn't hear the whispers of these people:

"Which one, which one?"

"The taller one, the darker one."

"The other one is not good enough?"

"The talent is not as good as his father, who is the head of the second branch of the family, so he has his own way. He probably doesn't like my small family."

"This future junior brother, there is nothing special about him."

Looking at Zheng Fa and the others approaching, Coach Xu couldn't help but explain: "Not to mention his excellent aptitude, but mainly because of his calm mind, he is a good seedling, don't say anything!"

When Zheng Fa walked in front of the few people, he saw Coach Xu frowning at him with a stern face, as if he was not very satisfied.

The young people behind him also looked serious.

Today was a test for two people, and with this group of people being so serious, the two people were naturally more nervous.

They didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

"You two are late!"

Coach Xu blamed them as soon as he opened his mouth, and the two didn't dare to refute and bowed their heads obediently.

"You two are just starting to learn martial arts, and it's the time to study hard. Why are you late?"

"It's me... I got up late and wasted time." Gao Yuan said hesitantly.

He had been studying those pictures these past few nights, staying up all night. He was at the age when he could sleep, so when Zheng Fa called him, it was too late.

"You? Since you slept so well, you must have practiced Songhe Zhuang well, right? Practice for me!"

Gao Yuan's face was bitter, and his body was honestly posing in the Songhe Zhuang posture.

Zheng Fa watched from the side, watching him stand on the ground, his shoulders rising and falling with his hips.

From Zheng Fa's perspective at this time, Gao Yuan was almost a beginner!

This surprised him a little. You know, if it weren't for the modern Qi Tian, ​​he might not be able to reach Gao Yuan's level now.

What's more, Coach Xu clearly said that his roots were better than Gao Yuan's.

Coach Xu was also a little surprised. He walked around Gao Yuan twice. After frowning for a long time, he suddenly said, "Did your father give you some special training?"

"...Yes." Gao Yuan said hesitantly, a little embarrassed.

"Your posture is the same as your father's. Your left shoulder is one inch higher! He has injured his shoulder, and you are learning from him?" Coach Xu sneered, "Relax!"

He patted Gao Yuan's left shoulder blade.

Gao Yuan unconsciously adjusted his posture. It was obvious that his breathing was smoother and his posture was more in line with the essence of Songhezhuang.

"Okay!" Coach Xu nodded, "Not bad, you are making great progress! Just ask your father to give you less medicine in the future. If you practice too much and hurt your body, it will be difficult to make up for it with tonics!"

Zheng Fa suddenly realized.

He said why Gao Yuan had to go out for a while at lunch every day and brought himself lunch every day.

Now I think Gao Yuan probably practiced martial arts with his father secretly every day.

Ordinarily, like Zheng Fa, he cannot practice Songhe Zhuang for an hour every day.

But according to Coach Xu, Gao Yuan still drinks tonic every day and can practice longer than himself.

It's a bit silly to have more money than us and yet be better than us.

Gao Yuan seemed to feel embarrassed that Zheng Fa knew about his secret efforts. When he stood back, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zheng Fa.

"Come on!"

Coach Xu said to Zheng Fa with a tigerish face, but there was a smile in his eyes: "His qualifications at Plateau are not as good as yours. He is about to get started. Let me see how you are doing!"

He did feel satisfied in his heart.

On the one hand, Gao Yuan's entry was beyond his expectation.

Not only does this kid come from a good family, he is also hard-working.

Even though he knew he would never become his disciple, having a good apprentice always made him happy.

On the other hand, he felt that having a person like Gao Yuan to compare with him could stimulate Zheng Fa's motivation even more.

Their qualifications are worse than yours, but their training is better than yours.

Are you panicking?

Even calling a few direct disciples here today is a bit redundant.

Gao Yuan alone can make this kid not dare to look down on people in the world!

He had already thought about how he would beat Zheng Fa when he did not perform as well as Gao Yuan.

"Huh?" Instructor Xu looked at Zheng Fa, who was arranging the pine and crane pile and was forgetful of both things and himself. He then looked back at his disciples, with a little uncertainty on his face.

The disciples also looked a little surprised.

They all saw that Zheng Fa's Songhe Zhuang was already in place.

Coach Xu stretched out his fingers, broke them off one by one, and asked Gao Yuan on the side: "One day, two days, three days. If I give the complete pine and crane pile to you two, it will only be three days, right?"

Gao Yuan nodded.

"Then he's started?" Coach Xu pointed at Zheng Fa and continued to ask Gao Yuan a little doubtfully: "Your father is so good, why did you give him a small stove?"

Gao Yuan: ...My only son!
