low-key is king

Chapter 22 Did I give you a face?
"Huh? Master, this is not the way back!"

While listening to Lu Xun's murmur, Asha suddenly seemed to have discovered something, couldn't help but let out a low cry, and immediately covered his mouth.

"Hey, although you can't kill that old guy Cao Song, but he humiliated his mother so much during the day, you have to teach him a lesson, right?"

As Lu Xun walked forward, he chuckled and said, "It's hard to find a fourth-rank doctor, and it's only reasonable to make the best use of everything!"

Asha said: "The young master meant to swallow him?"

Lu Xun: "Asha, how did your head grow? Didn't you hear what I said just now?"

Asha scratched his head, then remembered the foreword, hesitantly said: "Then... swallow him first, and then spit it out?"

Lu Xun: "Haha, you can have this!"

The laughter echoed on the road leading to a certain courtyard, but it didn't spread too far in the dark night, and there wasn't any guard of the palace nearby, maybe it felt that there was no need for guards here.

…………

Zhendong Palace, Medicine Fragrance Garden!

This is a large courtyard with a large area. It can be said that it is the private land of Cao Song, the chief physician of the palace. If there is no communication, even if the prince wants to enter here, he will have great trouble.

In addition to Cao Song, the master of the fourth-rank physician, this medicinal fragrance garden also lives here with three of his disciples. Cao Song does not need to do all kinds of miscellaneous tasks such as weeding and digging the soil on weekdays.

In the main room in the middle, two figures sat and stood one by one, and the older one was naturally the fourth-rank doctor Cao Song.

And the one who stood awkwardly below was his most proud disciple, Ding Mao, who had reached the second rank of medicine.

"Ding Mao, do you know how many mistakes you made today?"

After a lot of tossing, the anger in Cao Song's heart also subsided a lot, even in this way, he didn't have to pretend anymore, and he felt relaxed.

Therefore, at this time, Cao Song no longer had the stern expression he had when he was in Tiandu Tower during the day, and even showed a touch of kindness.

Perhaps after calming down, he thinks this is not a bad thing for Ding Mao.

For a long time, because of Cao Song, the master of the fourth-rank doctor, Ding Mao himself is also amazingly talented. He broke through to the second-rank doctor at a young age, and he is regarded as a rising star in the entire Xuanyang country.

As for this small Watanabe Castle, no one dared to provoke it.

For example, the son of the city lord, even if he dared to look down on Zhendong Wangfu, he would not dare to look down on Ding Mao, a second-rank doctor.

"The disciple shouldn't have rushed to invite the master when he was undecided, and he shouldn't be provoked by that kid Lu Xun to leak the details of the fourth-grade Qingxin Pill!"

It seems that Ding Mao is not really an idiot. He could hear the meaning of teaching in the master's tone, so he didn't dare to neglect. These words are quite modest.

"Being aware of these two problems is considered a serious reflection, but there is still one biggest problem, do you know what it is?"

Cao Song nodded in satisfaction at first, then changed the topic, and his tone became a little harsh, which made Ding Mao tremble slightly, but subconsciously shook his head.

"underestimate the enemy!"

The word came out of Cao Song's mouth softly, Ding Mao was stunned for a moment, and then there was an incredible light in his eyes, as if he didn't agree with the master's words.

"Master, when you say underestimating the enemy, you don't mean that kid Lu Xun?"

Ding Mao couldn't accept this statement very much. In his opinion, he was a dude with no cultivation. He could slap ten of them to death with one slap.

"Hey, it's not like our Second Young Master has no cultivation!"

Cao Song didn't pay attention to Ding Mao's dissatisfaction, and said another sentence, and the light in his eyes became much stronger.

"That kid thinks he's hiding it very well, but how could he be able to hide it from the eyes of a majestic fourth-rank doctor as a teacher?"

This may be Cao Song's biggest hole card. Ding Mao, a second-rank doctor, didn't see it. He saw it through at the gate of the palace.

Ding Mao was still a little unconvinced, and said disdainfully: "Even if he breaks through to a first-level martial artist, the disciple is not underestimating the enemy, right?"

This proud disciple of the chief physician of the palace is a second-level monk himself, and he could clearly sense that Lu Xun had no cultivation at all.

Even if the opponent breaks through, he is at most a first-level martial artist, and it is impossible to pose a threat to himself.

"Perhaps, it's not just a martial artist of the first realm, but... a monk of the first realm!"

Cao Song's eyes were naturally more venomous. After all, Lu Xun was just a cultivator at the first level, and it was impossible to hide his aura perfectly. He saw some clues.

"what?"

This time Ding Mao was really surprised, and there was even a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

You must know that although he is a second-level monk, he is not a martial artist, and his body is very weak.

In other words, if Ding Mao faced a second-level martial artist, once he got close to him, he would lose without any suspense. This is the difference between a martial artist and a monk.

If Lu Xun is just a first-level martial artist, then Ding Mao naturally has a reason to continue to look down on him, but if coupled with the status of a first-level monk, this talent is much, much stronger than him.

In this world, although it is said that monks can also practice physical training, there are very few of them.

Generally speaking, in the later stage, you will never achieve great achievements on both paths, and you must focus on one.

But that is no longer a level that monks of Ding Mao's level can touch. He only knows that the dandy Lu Xun in his mind is actually a genius with dual cultivation of qi, which makes him extremely unbalanced.

"Secretly break through the two ways of refining Qi and body, but still know how to forbear, so, Ding Mao, we, the second son of the palace, are really not ordinary people!"

In the end, Cao Song concluded with words that seemed to be both emotional and mocking. Perhaps in his opinion as a fourth-rank doctor, no matter whether Lu Xun has cultivation or not, he is just a waste that can be slapped to death.

The reason why I said so much is just to teach my proud disciple.

If one day Ding Mao really underestimated the enemy so carelessly and provoked an enemy he shouldn't have provoked, he might suffer a big loss.

"Tsk tsk, I am really ashamed to be so absurdly praised by Mr. Cao!"

However, just as Ding Mao was being taught calmly and Cao Song stroked his beard and nodded, a hearty voice suddenly came from the outside, which made the faces of both master and apprentice change.

"It's Lu Xun!"

Especially Ding Mao, he really hated the owner of this voice, he knew who it was from the first time, and the next moment, a smirk appeared on his face.

"This is really a way to heaven if you don't go, but there is no way to hell you just want to go!"

This is the true portrayal in Ding Mao's heart. Just looking at this point, his city mansion is far inferior to his master Cao Song. Didn't he look at the chief physician of the royal mansion at this moment, and his face was a little surprised?
Although Cao Song didn't know the reason why Lu Xun came to this medicinal fragrance garden late at night, but he just said that this kid knows how to endure, didn't he get slapped in the face in a blink of an eye?
Crunch!

The door of the room was automatic when there was no wind, and Cao Song's eyes froze when he saw the situation outside through the door, because he saw two figures lying down in the courtyard.

Those two were the two disciples guarding the outside room. Although they were not as powerful as Ding Mao, they were both first-level monks. They did not expect that they would be knocked down without Cao Song himself noticing.

Cao Song could sense that the two disciples were not dead, but just passed out, so he didn't have an attack immediately, but just looked at the two figures with burning eyes, and slowly walked into the room.

The master and the apprentice selectively ignored the boy Asha, and just stared at the boy in black with a smile on his face. In the boy's arms, he was holding an unremarkable black cat. .

"Second Young Master drove my medicinal fragrance garden in the middle of the night. I don't know why?"

Cao Song remained calm, and even asked Ding Mao who wanted to say something strange, which made him quite dissatisfied as a disciple. He is only a first-level martial artist, and the master is too polite.

"Mr. Cao, the so-called enemy should be resolved rather than tied, can't you guess the reason for my son's visit?"

Lu Xun stopped, and Ding Mao's eyes lit up when he heard the statement in his mouth, it seemed that he had indeed guessed the other party's intention, which also made him a little excited.

"Aha, so you kid is here to apologize!"

This is the subconscious thought in Ding Mao's mind. This time, Cao Song next to him didn't speak. Maybe in his opinion, Lu Xun is a hero who knows the times and affairs. Maybe he really came to accompany the crime.

After all, the situation in the Zhendong Palace is now clear at a glance. The princess family has fallen to the bottom, and the third wife, mother and son, who hold real power, are on Cao Song's side again.

"Huh? Brother Ding Mao has a lot of ideas!"

The other party's sudden words made Lu Xun slightly taken aback, but he didn't let it go. Instead, he said something in the interface, which made Ding Mao more sure of his guess.

"Kneel down and kowtow three times to my master, and today's matter will be considered exposed!"

Under Cao Song's slight frown, Ding Mao made an inch.

He thought in his heart, when Lu Xun kowtowed, he was standing next to his master, so wouldn't this kid also kowtow three times to him?
"Ding Mao, did I give you face?"

Hearing the other party's sneer in his ears, the smile on Lu Xun's face finally slowly subsided, and the words he said immediately made the master and apprentice on the opposite side slightly stunned.

"Little bastard, you are courting death!"

But immediately, Ding Mao's face turned livid. He thought that the other party came to admit his mistake and apologize, but he didn't expect that this little bitch would be so disrespectful to himself, and he finally broke out.

"Forget it, let Ding Mao try your weight!"

Seeing the aura of a second-level monk emerging from Ding Mao's body, Cao Song didn't stop it.

Although he didn't think about killing Lu Xun just because of this, it's not a big deal to teach him a lesson. Who told this kid to be so ignorant?
