I studied abroad in modern times

Coach Xu just said it casually, and immediately knew it was impossible.

Zheng Fa's origin is clear and innocent.

Even the tonic that Gao Yuan drinks every day is expensive. With Gao Yuan's family's financial resources, it is already difficult to support Gao Yuan alone.

Add Zheng Fa?

Gao Yuan is his biological son, who are you, Zheng Fa?

Let alone Gao Yuan's father, even if Coach Xu really accepts Zheng Fa as an apprentice in the future, he will not be willing to spend so much money to train him.

Zheng Fa stood still for a long time, and did not hear Coach Xu's evaluation of himself. He opened his eyes a little confused, and saw Coach Xu looking at him with a very complicated look.

This look was like the surprise and helplessness of breaking open a piggy bank and finding a huge sum of money that did not belong to him.

Coach Xu was silent for a long time before he said: "It seems that you not only have a good foundation, but also have excellent comprehension."

Zheng Fa was pale when he heard it.

He knew how he could practice so fast.

His comprehension was probably good, at least he didn't feel any difficulty in practicing Songhe Zhuang, but it was definitely not as good as Master Xu thought.

What really made him surpass Gaoyuan was the seven days of practice in modern times and the relatively sufficient nutrition in modern times.

Seeing him so calm, Master Xu nodded slightly, and felt that this boy's character was more valuable.

The more so, the more he cherished his talent, and the more he was afraid that Zheng Fa would have even a trace of arrogance.

"Hey! I said you are good, but I am talking to ordinary people. You should know that Songhe Zhuang is just an entry-level Zhuanggong, and you have just started in martial arts!" He couldn't help but start to knock Zheng Fa: "You should know that there is no shortage of geniuses in my Xuanwei world, and it is not uncommon to get started with Songhe Zhuang in three days!"

After saying that, he winked at the disciples behind him.

The young people standing behind him immediately followed.

"Yes, I got the mastery in five days! Although I can't compare to you, Songhe Zhuang is very simple!"

"..."

Master Xu looked at him and vaguely remembered that this kid had an upper-middle bone and it took him half a month to get the mastery.

"It only took me three days to get the mastery. It's no big deal."

Master Xu looked at this disciple who also got the mastery in half a month and patted his chest, looking calm and relaxed.

"I...I" The disciple who spoke first, that is, Master Xu's nephew, stretched out a finger, thought about it, felt a little embarrassed, and stretched out another one: "Two days! I got the mastery in two days!"

The others looked at him with contempt in their eyes.

This guy is really good at bragging!

Who doesn't know that you took ten days?

"Hey, did you see it?" Master Xu coughed lightly, not daring to look at the group of disciples, turned his head and looked at Zheng Fa seriously: "These are still my most useless disciples."

Several young people looked at Master Xu's big black face without blushing.

There was only one sentence in his eyes: It has to be you!

Zheng Fa felt a little strange. After all, his physique was judged to be top-notch by Master Xu, and he could practice for seven days in modern times.

How could he not be as good as these people?

But he thought about it again. After all, there are immortals in this mysterious world.

The top physique might be just ordinary?

Moreover, he really didn't expect Master Xu to be so "well-intentioned".

After assessing the progress of the two people's martial arts, Master Xu let them go.

When saying goodbye to Master Xu, Zheng Fa found that Gao Yuan, who was standing beside him, looked depressed. He didn't wait for him when he left. Zheng Fa followed him and walked side by side with him. Gao Yuan's eyes were also staring at the pebbles on the ground all the way, without even looking at him.

Zheng Fa sighed softly in his heart.

Gao Yuan was not a bad person, but he had been comparing himself with him intentionally or unintentionally.

In today's test, he had already entered the Songhe Posture, which was probably a bit of a blow to him. From the side of his eyes glancing at him, Zheng Fa could vaguely see some jealousy.

…

When it was almost time for lunch, Gao Yuan went out as usual.

Zheng Fa silently recited the modern learning text in the room for a while, but when the sun passed the middle of the sky and began to tilt, Gao Yuan, who usually brought back lunch at this time, had not returned yet.

It was not until two hours later that Gao Yuan, sweating all over, slowly walked back to their residence.

He came back empty-handed and did not bring lunch for Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa looked at his sunburned face and the beads of sweat on his head, and realized that he had gone to practice martial arts again, this time practicing longer and harder than before.

As for lunch…

Zheng Fa did not ask, but he also knew that the other party would not bring it to him again.

He stood up and walked towards the door. Gao Yuan looked at him with complicated eyes. When the two passed by, Zheng Fa stopped:

“Thank you.”

“Huh?”

Gao Yuan was a little confused.

“Thank you for helping me get lunch these days.”

Zheng Fa’s expression was very sincere, but Gao Yuan’s face was more uncomfortable.

"It's nothing serious, I won't..."

"I have to thank you for the previous ones." Zheng Fa said seriously.

"..."

Zheng Fa smiled at Gao Yuan and walked out of the door. He could feel Gao Yuan's eyes staring at his back.

He found his way to the big kitchen of Zhao's house. It was already late for lunch.

"You come so late?" The chef in the kitchen asked him impatiently.

Zheng Fa smiled at the other party embarrassedly and explained: "Something delayed me."

"Here, these are the dishes left. Who told you not to come earlier?"

Zheng Fa looked at the rice and dishes he handed to him.

The rice was cold, and the vegetables were all green, sluggish, listless vegetable leaves, without even a bit of minced meat.

Zheng Fa didn't say anything, took the food, found an empty corridor, sat on the railing, and slowly put the food into his mouth facing the red clouds in the sky.

In the next few days, Gao Yuan really stopped bringing him food.

Zheng Fa found that the food the big kitchen gave him was not as good as what Gao Yuan brought him before.

Not only was there much less meat than before.

And the appearance was not as good as before, and the taste was far worse.

Zheng Fa understood it as soon as he thought about it. Gao Yuan was the son of the housekeeper after all, and he also had his own face in the big kitchen.

The food he brought might have been made by the chef in the big kitchen.

As for himself?

As the book boy of the seventh young master, he certainly wouldn't be hungry, but if he had the special care before, it would be impossible.

...

Early that morning, Zheng Fa and Gao Yuan were still "standing" at the door of the seventh young master's study.

The Seventh Young Master was still in the study, reading the book full of so-called spells. When he seemed tired, he looked up at Zheng Fa and the others, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had found something interesting.

"You two come in!"

Zheng Fa and the others looked at each other, not knowing why the Seventh Young Master suddenly called them today.

"Are you two... breaking up?"

The Seventh Young Master looked like he was just watching a show, Gao Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Zheng Fa's expression did not change.

"It's just right, I thought about it, it's not good to ask you two to get out together. I still need a book boy around me!" The Seventh Young Master smiled and stretched out a finger: "Remember, it's a book boy. If you two are too close, I can't bear it!"

Zheng Fa clearly heard that Gao Yuan's breathing beside him was a little quickened, and then he gently clenched his fist.

Looking at the Seventh Young Master again, the smile on his face became even worse.
