Chapter 89: Don’t judge a person by appearance
"I, I, I and Senior Brother Qin." Bao Yingjun said without hesitation.
Zheng Xinghan couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face when he heard this. He thought that Bao Yingjun had suffered so much because of Qin Ziling. Now that he was the chief disciple of the martial arts school and was willing to teach him, he would definitely be happy to agree.
As a result, Zheng Xinghan never expected that Bao Yingjun would choose to continue with Qin Ziling without hesitation.
"Zheng, Senior Brother Zheng, you, you have many people to teach, and many things to take care of. I, I won't trouble you anymore!" Although Bao Yingjun stuttered, his mind was very sharp. Seeing Zheng Xinghan's surprised look, he quickly added.
"Nonsense! Even if I have a lot of things to do and I have less time to teach you, I'm still better than this guy. He rarely shows up once every ten days or so, so how much can he teach you?
I think you and your Senior Brother Qin are the same, both are stubborn and will not turn back once you make up your mind. Anyway, I have already told you, but if you insist on being stubborn like your Senior Brother Qin, I will not be able to control your affairs in the future. "Zheng Xinghan said unhappily after hearing this.
Bao Yingjun lowered his head and said nothing.
"By the way, where is Master Zuo?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Instructing Nangong Yue in the backyard." Zheng Xinghan replied with a complicated expression.
"Oh, then I will pay my respects to Master Zuo later." Qin Ziling nodded with a calm expression.
After that, Qin Ziling patted Bao Yingjun on the shoulder and said, "Get ready. I'm going to say hello to the other brothers and sisters in the inner courtyard first, and I'll test your homework later."
"Okay, okay, Brother Qin." Bao Yingjun bowed slightly, and his eyes, which were almost invisible due to the crowding, revealed a hint of anticipation and excitement.
"Are you sure you want to continue to instruct Bao Yingjun? You can't fail to see that he is often bullied because of you?" Zheng Xinghan asked in a low voice as he walked side by side with Qin Ziling towards the training ground for the inner courtyard disciples.
"Only those who endure hardships can become the best. I have to say, this Bao Yingjun is really good!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
“Come on! If one can become a superior person by enduring hardships, I, your senior brother, would have become a superior person long ago. Why am I currently…” Zheng Xinghan suddenly stopped talking here.
"What? Nangong Yue doesn't even take you seriously now?" Qin Ziling said with a slightly gloomy face.
"By the way, the New Year is coming soon, and the martial arts school will be closed the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon, we, the inner courtyard disciples, will go to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner together. Can you come?" Zheng Xinghan changed the subject.
"It's such a special dinner, even if I can't come, I have to find a way to come." Qin Ziling said with a smile, and no longer mentioned Nangong Yue.
"Hehe, Ziling, I like to hear what you said! Although I, Lu Taiqiang, was born into a wealthy family and my status is very different from yours, but since we are both disciples of Master Zuo, I will always keep this friendship in my heart." The always proud Lu Taiqiang walked up, patted Qin Ziling on the shoulder and said.
"That's right, fellow disciples are fellow disciples, and this friendship is still very pure, unlike someone else, not at all..." said Mu Xuan.
"Okay, Mu Xuan." Zheng Xinghan interrupted.
“What? You are the eldest senior brother. When he came in, you gave him a lot of guidance , but…” Mu Xuan said unconvinced.
When Lu Taiqiang and others heard this, they all showed a hint of indignation on their faces, but Luo Yuke's expression was rather subtle.
"Okay, say less." Zheng Xinghan interrupted again, his face becoming somewhat gloomy and ugly.
Seeing this, Mu Xuan pouted and didn't dare to continue speaking.
Qin Ziling saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he hurried forward to greet Mu Xuan and the others one by one, and the atmosphere finally eased.
Soon, Zuo Le walked out from the backyard, followed by Nangong Yue.
Qin Ziling hurried forward to greet Zuo Le.
Zuo Le asked a few questions indifferently and then sent Qin Ziling away.
The energy and blood in Qin Ziling's body were still as calm as water, and it was hard to tell how much change there was. He was destined to remain at the superficial level. Zuo Le no longer had any hope for this disciple.
Qin Ziling turned around and left, said hello to Zheng Xinghan and others again, then called Bao Yingjun and prepared to leave the martial arts hall.
"Bao, Bao Yingjun, you, you don't want to practice martial arts anymore? Are you going to leave? Are you scared? Come, let Master Wu teach you one or two more moves." When Qin Ziling, accompanied by Bao Yingjun who was limping, passed by the outer courtyard disciples' martial arts training ground, Wu Cheng shouted at Bao Yingjun with a mocking face, and even deliberately imitated Bao Yingjun's stuttering.
"Haha, come on, come on, I'm here too. I'll teach you a few moves too!" Several apprentices beside Wu Cheng started to make a noise.
Bao Yingjun paused, clenched his fists, veins bulged, and blood suddenly surged on his ugly, swollen face, making it even uglier, even a little hideous.
Qin Ziling, on the other hand, remained calm. He said nothing and just walked towards the door.
Seeing this, Bao Yingjun hurriedly limped after him.
Seeing that Qin Ziling didn't dare to say a word, Wu Cheng and others became more arrogant, with disdain and ridicule written all over their faces.
"What a coward! If it were me, I would beat up Wu Cheng and the others. How dare they make innuendos and ridicule the inner court disciples!" Mu Xuan said angrily upon seeing this.
"When you beat a dog, you have to look at its owner first. Now Nangong Yue has suppressed Senior Brother Zheng. If Qin Ziling dares to teach Wu Cheng and others a lesson, do you believe that Nangong Yue will punish him right away?
Come to think of it, I now admire Qin Ziling a little bit. People who can endure what others cannot endure usually live a long life! " Lu Taiqiang watched Qin Ziling's back as he left, and his face rarely put away his arrogance, and said solemnly.
Outsiders only see the glamour of the children of wealthy families, but few can see their brutal internal struggles and infighting!
Although Lu Taiqiang looked awesome in Hantie Dean, when he returned to the Lu family, he had to act like a grandson in front of those genius children. Only by acting like a grandson could he get the cultivation resources smoothly and have a glimmer of hope to succeed.
Otherwise, with his low level of cultivation and his physical condition not being suitable for practicing his family's skills, having his cultivation resources cut off would be considered a light punishment. If he were to be killed in secret, that would be it.
Apart from his parents who would be sad, who in charge of the family would care about the death of a useless son?
Yu Yan and the others all had complicated looks when they heard this, only Luo Yuke looked at Qin Ziling's departing back with contempt and sarcasm.
"Why are you still following me? You should know that you will suffer if you follow me, and you just saw that I won't stand up for you." Qin Ziling said after leaving the martial arts gym.
"Hehe, I, I, I'm not afraid! At that time, Senior Brother Qin accepted me without hesitation. And, what Senior Brother Qin taught me is real skill.
I, I, I can’t beat them now, but I believe I can beat them soon, I don’t need Brother Qin to help me, I’ll take the lead.” Bao Yingjun grinned, his eyes, which were squeezed so tight that they were almost invisible, showed a touch of determination and ruthlessness.
Qin Ziling stared at Bao Yingjun for a long time after hearing this. His sharp gaze made Bao Yingjun's hair stand on end. He then withdrew his gaze and said, "I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!"
"Hehe, I was used to being bullied when I was a child. At that time, I was small and weak, and I was also afraid of causing trouble for my parents, so I always endured it. No, but I have a way to secretly punish them." Bao Yingjun said.
"Oh, what method?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Hehe!" Bao Yingjun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I put laxatives in their food, and then beat them up in secret when they went to the toilet."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling stared blankly at this junior fellow with shifty eyes, short stature, and a wretched look who made people disdain him and who he didn't take seriously at all. Suddenly, he felt a little pity for Wu Cheng and the others.
It was cruel enough that he knew how to secretly give them laxatives at such a young age, and he even continued to beat them up while they were having diarrhea. If Bao Yingjun hadn't said it, Qin Ziling really couldn't have realized that his junior schoolmate was such a ruthless character.
"However, even though you have a hidden ruthlessness, Nangong Yue has the potential to be a powerful martial artist. Aren't you worried or afraid?" Qin Ziling said.
"Qin, Senior Brother Qin, aren't you worried or afraid? Besides, no one wanted me at that time, but, Senior Brother, you wanted me, so I decided to be with you anyway!" Bao Yingjun said.
Qin Ziling smiled noncommittally, then changed the subject and asked, "Has anything happened between Senior Brother Zheng and Nangong Yue recently?"
"A few days ago, the martial arts schools in the city held a year-end boxing competition for inner disciples. Nangong Yue represented our Hantie School and won five games in a row. After he came back, he became more and more arrogant and took the initiative to challenge Senior Brother Zheng to a duel.
As a result, Senior Brother Zheng lost to him. So now he doesn't take Senior Brother Zheng seriously, and he calls him Brother Zheng all the time, and doesn't even call him Senior Brother anymore. "Bao Yingjun replied.
"Senior Brother Zheng lost to him only because some of his methods were difficult to use. If it really comes to a life-and-death battle, Nangong Yue would be lucky enough to survive!" Qin Ziling sneered with disdain when he heard this.
"Yes, that's right! If it really comes to a life-and-death battle, who, who would be stupid enough to fight him with boxing stances, move after move. If it were me, I would just give him a bag of lime powder and make him blind!" Bao Yingjun's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Qin Ziling with admiration.
It feels like great minds think alike, and I have met a famous teacher!
Qin Ziling glanced at Bao Yingjun, and felt a little more sorry for Wu Cheng and the others, but his face was gloomy as he said, "Lime powder is useful, but it only works when the strength of both sides is not much different. With your current strength, you haven't even taken out the lime powder yet, and they've already killed you with one punch!
So, you can use some clever tricks, but you still have to focus on practicing martial arts and improve your strength as quickly as possible."
"I, I understand!" Bao Yingjun said with a serious face.
"Doesn't your family run an inn? Take me to see it, and by the way, I'll test your homework in your home." Qin Ziling said.
"Okay, okay." Bao Yingjun said happily when he heard that.
