Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 74: Poor Ability to Give Birth to a Son
Li Xiaoren spent the entire morning giving meticulous instruction on martial arts to everyone.
Although Li Xiaoren was unhappy with Tang Zheng, he did not hide his advice on his martial arts, including what needed improvement and what he needed to pay attention to in battle. In this respect, he gave the same guidance to Tang Zheng as he did to the other three people.
Because Tang Zheng had the strongest practical experience, Li Xiaoren spent the most time and effort guiding him.
When Li Xiaoren appeared in the cafeteria, he had already taken off the loose martial arts uniform he had worn in the morning and put on his carefully groomed white robe.
If you only look at Li Xiaoren now, you would never imagine that his pair of clean white hands can swing such a heavy axe.
Students in Yisu Academy kept greeting him, but he kept glancing towards Tang Zheng and the others, making Tang Zheng feel uncomfortable.
"I heard that Li Xiaoren is a very difficult person. How did you offend him?" Tang Xiaotang lowered her voice, secretly glanced at Li Xiaoren, and asked Tang Zheng.
"How should I know? Maybe it's because I have a good relationship with Ouyang Luoluo, but he and Ouyang Luoluo are not very friendly?" Tang Zheng answered indifferently while picking at his food.
"But... Miss Luoluo and I have a good relationship, and he is not targeting me." When Tang Xiaotang heard Tang Zheng mention Ouyang Luoluo, she didn't understand Li Xiaoren's attitude even more.
"Maybe he thinks I'm more handsome than him and feels uncomfortable about it." Tang Zheng said with a smile.
However, Tang Zheng secretly guessed that it might be because of his performance at the inscription ceremony that day, which indeed made people suspicious of his origins.
But I can’t explain this clearly to Xiaotang and the others, so I’ll just not talk about it.
If someone really investigates, the identity badge may still be a tail that is prone to problems.
Tang Zheng was eating while frowning as he thought about this hidden danger. After thinking it over, he could not find a good solution for the time being. He simply made up his mind and put this problem behind him. When the time comes, he will deal with it with earth.
Anyway, at most, I would be charged with the crime of "abnormal strength of unknown origin", and at most Li Xiaoren would just keep a closer eye on me, but there would not be any substantial punishment.
"..." Seeing that Tang Zheng seemed a little absent-minded, Tang Xiaotang simply ended the topic.
Jiang Wuyan, Tang Xiaotang and the others could all clearly see that Li Xiaoren disliked Tang Zheng.
But Tang Zhenghao didn't seem to care at all and was eating very seriously.
The food at Yisuli Academy tasted good, but Meng Fenghua and the others, who had eaten the Hanjiang Ten-Flavor Fish and various barbecues made by Tang Zheng, didn’t think that these dishes could make Tang Zheng so happy.
What they didn’t know was that what Tang Zheng was truly happy about was not the food.
Today's battle with Li Xiaoren and a whole morning of training were like opening another door.
In this academy, he can see more different martial arts and fighting methods, encounter different astrological talents, and understand the world more deeply.
After walking out of Wulong Town, Xingyao Continent was about to become less unfamiliar to him...
As he knows more and more, he encounters different opponents and his fighting ability becomes stronger and stronger!
The stronger the opponent, the more room there is for improvement in his own strength. He can also become stronger and stronger in constant battles with these strong men, until he reaches the highest peak of martial arts.
Just as Tang Zheng was eating his meal casually, a piece of gossip suddenly came to his ears, and the most interesting thing was that he found that the gossip was somewhat related to him.
"Hey, have you heard? Something big happened yesterday!" At a table , several senior students were chattering.
"What big event could possibly happen in Jade Stone City? Could it be that another high-ranking demon has sneaked in?"
"Nonsense! This year's autumn and winter war period is coming. Every day, dozens of teams of soldiers patrol the city with star-detecting disks... I'm talking about the matter of the Treasure Pavilion..."
"Oh, what 'big event' could there be in Jubao Pavilion?"
"Don't tell me, this time Jubao Pavilion is really a 'big deal'. The entire Jubao Pavilion in Feishi City, from the shopkeeper to the odd jobs, has been completely replaced!"
"What! The owner of Jubao Pavilion is quite nice. When I bought something from him before, he patiently introduced it to me for more than an hour..."
When several girls heard that such a big thing had happened in Jubao Pavilion, they were all shocked and sat closer together, asking about the details.
Tang Zheng was just trying to listen, but when he heard that the Jubao Pavilion in Feishi City had been completely wiped out, he had to prick up his ears and listen over there.
"There's nothing we can do. This is not a transfer order from the Jubao Pavilion headquarters, but a transfer order directly from the Purple Gold City!"
"Oh my god... City of Purple Gold! What's going on?"
"Who knows? It is said that the shopkeeper of Jubao Pavilion in Feishi City received a transfer order with only one line of words written on the reason column..."
"Hey, tell me quickly, what's written?"
"It says, Manager Zhen, you have done a good job, but your ability to give birth to a son is too poor. I hereby relieve you of your position as the manager of the Jubao Pavilion in Feishi City and wait for another position to be hired."
The group of girls looked at each other.
What the hell is this?
However, if the reason for the transfer was not so outrageous and unbelievable , this matter would not have quickly become the biggest gossip in Jade City recently.
"What a weird reason this is. Not to mention whether it's logical or not, the words themselves are not clear and understandable..."
"That's right. No one can figure it out. I heard that the Zhen Mansion was in an uproar on the day the transfer order came. The whole family gathered together to discuss why the higher-ups were dissatisfied with Master Zhen!"
"And then?"
"Well, according to the analysis of the Zhen family's staff, the first possibility, if interpreted literally, is that they think that Old Master Zhen is infertile. This reason is the most outrageous, because even if they know this is the meaning, Old Master Zhen, a grown man, can't get pregnant, and he has to make sure it's a son, so they think it's wrong!"
"Pfft——" After hearing this explanation, almost all the girls who were chatting burst into laughter. Even Tang Zheng who was eavesdropping on the side, and Xiaotang who pricked up her ears, couldn't help laughing.
"Is there any other explanation?"
"Yes, the second possibility is a deeper understanding. It probably means that they think Master Zhen has too few sons. So, several concubines asked to sleep with him that day, to add more children to the Zhen family and to relieve Master Zhen's worries. They almost broke Master Zhen's waist that day."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh. This Zhen family is so confused and outrageous." Upon hearing this, the other girls all blushed and laughed and cursed.
"Come on, the manager of Jubao Pavilion has been demoted just like that. If it were your old men in your families, they would probably be desperate and try any possible means to get some little brothers for you. Haha." The girl who told gossips was not shy and amused her girlfriends.
…
Listening to these girls talking about this gossip with great interest, but they were all confused, Tang Zheng showed a look of knowing the inside story, Xiaotang asked quickly: "Master, you seem to know the inside story of this gossip, tell us quickly."
