Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 133
Although Cao Shao's character is not treacherous or evil, he is still far from being gentle, courteous and lenient.

Chen Mao was very displeased with being narrow-minded and arrogant.

But at that time, Chen Mao's love for Cao Shao's talent overshadowed others.

In addition, he felt that Cao Shao's character might be improved through his own teaching, so he accepted Cao Shao as a closed disciple.

But after Cao Shao became Chen Mao's closed disciple, his character, which had improved in the first two years of his entry, returned to its original state, and became even worse.

The painstaking teaching for the next year failed to have any effect, allowing Chen Mao to truly see what it means to change the country and nature.

It is not difficult for Chen Mao to make an exception and change his mouth. He is not a person who values ​​face so much.

But Cao Shao was afraid that after Li Qiu lost his status as a closed disciple, he would resent Chen Mao and even resent Li Qiu.

Both Chen Mao and Tao Zian thought of this, and fell silent for a while.

After dozens of breaths, Chen Mao spoke slowly.

"Don't worry about him, Junior Brother Cao, this matter will be settled like this."

"I, Chen Mao, can't let a descendant of a martial sage be my registered disciple, and let outsiders think that I am actually a martial sage who lives in seclusion in Shangjiang City. That's why the requirements for accepting disciples are so strict. Harsh."

Chen Mao shook his head and laughed at himself.

Tao Zian explained Li Qiu's situation to Chen Mao in detail, such as being young and poor, with a calm personality.

Chen Mao nodded: "I see, go and call that boy in."

"Yes."

Tao Zian responded and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, Li Qiu waited outside for a long time. He guessed that Chen Mao and Tao Zian should be in the house to discuss whether to make an exception and change their mouths to accept him, so he didn't feel any impatience in his heart.

There was a sound of footsteps.

Tao Zian walked out of the room and looked at him with a smile on his face, Li Qiu knew it was done.

Because from the beginning to the end, Tao Zian obviously supported Chen Mao's acceptance of him as a disciple.

Chen Zian nodded to Li Qiu, making him more sure of his guess.

Chen Mao walked out of the back room and sat on the wooden chair in the living room. When he saw Chen Zian walking into the room with a handsome young man in common clothes, he showed a smile on his face.

His first impression of Li Qiu was very good, much better than Cao Shao back then.

Li Qiu bowed his hands to Chen Mao and said: "I have met the owner of the pavilion."

Chen Mao smiled lightly and waved his hands: "You don't need to be polite, you are Zhang Xing?"

"Yes, the owner." Li Qiu replied.

"Zi'an told me that you were not young enough to lift a thousand-jin bronze tripod. Your body is tougher than ordinary people. You are a descendant of a martial sage with extremely high aptitude. You are wronged to be only one of my registered disciples. I think so too."

Chen Mao smiled and said to Li Qiu, his expression suddenly changed.

"Although I have declared to the outside world that I am getting old and will no longer accept the third disciple after accepting the third disciple, but I said the words, and it is not up to me to decide what will happen."

"It's just a loss of face. I can't let you, a descendant of a martial sage, just be my registered disciple of Chen Mao!"

Chen Mao waved his hand and said boldly.

"Tomorrow, at the entrance ceremony of the new martial arts disciple, I will make an exception and change my words for you in front of the people of Shangjiang City, and accept you as my fourth entry-level disciple!"

A look of joy and excitement appeared on Li Qiu's face at the right time, and he saluted Tao Zian and Chen Mao respectively.

"Zhang Xing, thank you brother and the owner for your kindness."

Chen Mao laughed twice and said.

"Although the apprenticeship ceremony has not yet been held, since you can call Zi'an senior brother, why can't you call me master."

Li Qiu looked solemn, bowed and cupped his hands.

"Disciple Zhang Xing has met Master!"

"it is good!"

Chen Mao said hello, God loves him so much, and let him accept two descendants of martial sages as disciples, what regrets are there in life.

"I'll ask Senior Brother Tao to accompany you around the martial arts hall later, choose a house you like and live in the martial arts hall first, and wait for the apprenticeship ceremony to discuss other matters."

"This will be your home from now on."

"It's all up to the master." Li Qiu clasped his fists and said.

He knew that Chen Mao was afraid that he would walk out of the martial arts gym and be found by the other two martial arts gyms, who would offer generous terms to poach him away.

After the apprenticeship, everything will be settled, and the other two martial arts schools will have to give up this idea.

"Well, let's go." Chen Mao waved his hand.

"Disciple retires." "Disciple retires."

Tao Zian led Li Qiu out of Chen Mao's residence, and turned around in the vast martial arts hall.

"Our martial arts gym has been open in Shangjiang City for decades, and we have recruited batch after batch of disciples. Some old disciples are still in the martial arts gym, and some have already gone out to make a living."

"There are more than a dozen registered disciples. Master only accepted three as beginner disciples. After the apprenticeship ceremony, you will become master's fourth disciple. The other martial arts disciples, no matter old or new, regardless of age, regardless of strength, see you." I want you to call me senior brother."

"And there are only three people. When you see them, you need to call them senior brothers. One is Senior Brother Wang Zhiping, the other is me, and the third is Junior Brother Cao."

Tao Zian said slowly to Li Qiu.

"Eldest senior brother has become an idiot in martial arts and doesn't care about worldly affairs. He won't object to master accepting you as an apprentice. Usually, you won't see him, so don't worry about him."

"On the other hand, I support Master in accepting you, a highly qualified descendant of a martial sage."

"The main thing you need to pay attention to is Junior Brother Cao. He is arrogant and narrow-minded. Because he is a descendant of a martial sage, he is born with the blood of a martial sage. Everyone has his eyes above the top."

"Your entry will make him lose his status as a closed disciple, and he will inevitably have resentment towards you. If you encounter something, you should try your best to bear it and don't give him a chance to make a move."

"I remember, thank you brother for your pointers!"

Li Qiu looked serious and nodded.

From Tao Zian's words and deeds, he roughly guessed how bad Cao Shao's character is, and how unpleasant his words and deeds are.

Cao Shao joined the martial arts school for three years, but Tao Zian became closer to him, a newcomer to the martial arts school, which can be seen from this point.

"Just remember, I'll take you around the martial arts hall again."

Tao Zian smiled lightly.

He usually manages the big and small affairs of the martial arts gym, and he is very boring in his spare time, and he doesn't even have anyone to talk to.

Eldest brother Wang Zhiping practiced martial arts until he became obsessed. He stayed in his own courtyard and didn't take a step out of the courtyard for dozens of days.

Cao Shao, the third junior brother who has not been introduced for a long time, relies on his status as a descendant of a martial arts saint, and treats everyone with a gesture of contempt.

Although Cao Shao called him Senior Brother, he couldn't feel the slightest respect for him from the other party's words and deeds.

Tao Zian even felt that Cao Shao didn't treat him as an equal, but unlike others, Cao Shao kept his contempt for him deep in his heart and didn't dare to show it.

With the same bloodline of the Martial Saints and the same inborn extraordinaryness, even though Li Qiu is a young man, he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, humble and calm, and he is much more likable than Cao Shao.
