Chapter 298 Zhao Ranruo, a master of internal power
"Third brother, you are too settled in the academy!"
"I'm not saying that just because of our background, we should be the focus of the academy, and the entire academy should revolve around us!"
"Isn't that kid from the Lu family very crazy? But when he heard my name, he was scared to death. He didn't even dare to take a breath in front of me!"
"It's a pity that the number of classmates in the classroom we are in is too small. It would be great if we could take classes with those older guys!"
"Third brother, are you listening to me?"
Across the carriage, little fat man Chen Xiong shouted loudly, his fat face full of displeasure and depression.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with the "mediocre" reaction of his third brother, Chen Ying, and his "mediocre" performance in the academy.
"Listen!"
Lifting the curtains, Chen Ying's smiling face appeared from the car window, and she said funnyly: "I know you are famous in the academy and you are a first-rate man!"
You are a naughty kid who loves face, but your vanity is so inflated at a young age. Let’s see how you suffer in the future!
"That's right, according to my mother, my uncle will also come over recently!"
The little fat man Chen Xiong had a domineering look on his face and said proudly: "I heard that my uncle is an incredible master!"
"Is it?"
Chen Ying's heart suddenly moved, and she immediately realized that this should be the main purpose of Aunt Zhao's arrangement for the little fat man to go out to study.
"Of course!"
The little fat man's face was full of arrogance. He glanced at Chen Ying and said proudly: "Third brother, do you want to wait for my uncle to come and let him teach you about your martial arts?"
"If that's possible, that would be great!"
Chen Ying smiled softly, not feeling depressed at all about being looked down upon. What she was thinking in her heart was that if she took the opportunity to practice "Tiger Roaring Power" to a small degree, the little fat man's uncle would take the blame.
Returning to the Duke's Mansion in Zhenbei, Chen Ying's carriage stopped outside the second gate, and Ma Li, who had been waiting for a long time, came to greet her.
Compared to the little fat man next to him, who was greeted by an old woman and four maids, the appearance was extremely shabby.
"Fourth brother, see you in the main courtyard!"
Chen Ying looked as dull as ever, waved to the little fat man, and then returned to the small courtyard where she lived with Ma Li.
When they arrived at the end of the field, Li Ma helped Chen Ying change clothes and wash her hands, while reminding her in a low voice: "Third Young Master, don't get too close to Fourth Young Master!"
"It's okay, the fourth brother doesn't like me, the third brother!"
Chen Ying said disapprovingly: "As long as Aunt Zhao is here, the mistress will not focus on me!"
Having said this, he paused and said with a smile: "The fourth child also revealed a piece of news just now. His uncle will be coming soon, which will attract even more attention!"
…
At the same time, there was also a conversation about Fatty Chen Xiong in the flower hall of the main courtyard.
"Madam, the fourth young master is domineering in the academy and has caused a lot of troubles. I heard that the great scholar from the imperial capital is very dissatisfied!"
The person who reported it was the former steward's wife, who was also responsible for some of the external information collection, and was obviously highly trusted by the duchess.
"The fourth child has a naughty temper, but he will be rewarded in the future!"
The Duchess looked calm and said leisurely: "Is there any other news?"
The steward's wife was a little hesitant, but she bit the bullet and whispered: "On the way back home, the fourth young master revealed a piece of news. I don't know whether it is true or not?"
"what news?"
"The Zhao family, where Aunt Zhao lives, will send experts from the direct line here recently. I don't know what it means?"
snort!
The Duchess snorted coldly, an undisguised glare flashed in her eyes, and her tone became cold and displeased as she said: "What does the Zhao family want to teach the fourth child? Don't they know that the government has its own steps and means to train children?
"
"Madam, you mean..."
The steward's wife suddenly reacted, her face full of surprise, and she exclaimed in a low voice: "How to cultivate Qi?"
snort!
The Duchess snorted again, her expression getting even more ugly.
The steward's wife didn't dare to hum, but she was beating a drum secretly in her heart.
This kind of thing is not something that a servant like her can afford to take part in.
It is true that the Duchess is the dominant one in the family, but Aunt Zhao's pillow style is not beyond her power. If she is not careful, she may become cannon fodder.
The dinner in the main courtyard that followed was uneventful and there was no dispute.
Whether it's the Duchess, who hides her anger, or Aunt Zhao, who has evil intentions, they all look normal and smile, and they are all great actors.
Chen Ying huddled in the corner, looking at her nose and heart, showing no intention of getting involved.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh in my heart, this is the normal state of the inner house of a wealthy family, and the domineering posture of the old lady in the world of red mansions is abnormal.
He didn't care about anything else, and he still lived his own little transparent life. He traveled between the academy and the Duke's Mansion without complaining about being tired.
In the academy, he still acted like he was tired of studying, or had no interest in the Four Books and Five Classics, and his grades were so-so, neither good nor bad.
In the Duke's Palace, he did not show any surprising abilities. He grew up step by step. Everything was under the eyes of the Duchess and under her control.
What I am most interested in is practicing martial arts...
He quickly learned the "Tiger Roar", which is a nursing school specialization, and his progress is quite slow. This is his only bright spot.
This dull life lasted for a month, and finally it was broken...
On this day, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to the little fat man Chen Xiong.
She has a handsome face, and if you look closely she looks similar to Aunt Zhao. She has a very powerful aura, her temples are bulging high, and her eyes are shining brightly.
Master!
This was Chen Ying's first reaction, and a premonition of danger subconsciously arose in her heart.
Amazing...
The person who can give him a premonition of danger must at least be at the peak of his strength, and may even be a strong Danjin expert!
But it was obvious that the handsome middle-aged man in front of him was not following the path of internal martial arts.
Otherwise, how could Chen Ying not sense a familiar aura from his body?
The way to cultivate inner energy!
Reacting in an instant, it was obvious that the handsome middle-aged man in front of him should be following the path of inner Qi cultivation, but he didn't know to what extent?
"Third brother, this is my uncle Zhao Ranruo!"
The little fat man looked cheerful and said with a smile: "My uncle plans to teach me powerful martial arts. I will become as strong as my father in the future!"
"Good ambition!"
Chen Ying laughed, looked at the handsome middle-aged Zhao Ranruo, and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhao!"
Zhao Ranruo nodded, but had no intention of speaking.
Obviously, he is not unfamiliar with the situation in Zhenbei Palace, so naturally he has no interest in a transparent guy like Chen Ying.
"Third brother, let me tell you, my uncle is a great master!"
The little fat man said proudly: "If there is anything you don't understand, third brother, you can ask my uncle for advice!"
As he said that, he looked up at the handsome middle-aged man and said with a smile: "Uncle, I have a good relationship with the third brother, please give him some advice!"
good!
The handsome middle-aged man nodded and said hello, but the next moment he looked at Chen Ying with a scrutinizing gaze, the meaning of which was quite complicated.
Chen Yingcai wouldn't care. How could he plot against this naughty kid like Little Fatty?
He fully showed his interest in martial arts training, and took the opportunity to directly practice the "Tiger Roar" that he had just started to learn, and sincerely asked Zhao Ranruo for advice.
"This is, "The Roaring Tiger"?"
Zhao Ranruo had good eyesight and quickly saw Chen Ying's martial arts skills, and he was a little surprised and spoke.
It's not that I'm surprised that Chen Ying learned the basics of "Tiger Roar" at a young age. He can only be regarded as an ordinary martial arts talent.
What really surprised him was that in "Tiger Roaring Power", the guards of Zhenbei Duke's Palace specialize in martial arts. Who would have expected that Chen Ying, a bastard ranked third in rank, would actually practice this kind of stuff?
In an instant, he had a deeper understanding of the fact that his little sister asked him to personally teach Chen Xiong, his nephew, the method of cultivating Zhen Qi.
His martial arts skills were indeed not weak. He saw the loopholes in Chen Ying's fists at a glance and pointed them out without saying much, leaving Chen Ying immersed in his training with a face full of joy.
I believe that in less than half a month, his "Tiger Roaring Power" will reach the level of small success!
…
Zhao Ranruo's appearance quickly reached the ears of the duchess.
"Hmph, Aunt Zhao is so brave. Does this mean she doesn't look down on the martial arts inheritance of Zhenbeigong Mansion?"
I'm just angry, not to the point of completely falling out.
Of course, private suppression is absolutely inevitable.
Naturally, Zhao Ranruo would not be stupid enough to throw himself into a trap, and he did not even want to leave any excuse to the Duchess. Apart from teaching martial arts to his nephew Chen Xiong in the academy, he had never set foot in Beidi City.
But even so, Chen Ying also heard a lot of gossip on the way back home.
Some martial arts masters in Beidicheng have recently taken the initiative to seek out Zhao Ranruo for sparring and competition. Even the fat man Chen Xiong has witnessed it several times.
According to the little fat man, his uncle Zhao Ranruo is a master, a master, a master, and he uses the Zhao family's traditional martial arts Ben Lei Dao to defeat all the warriors who come to compete.
Speaking of happiness, the little fat man danced and said happily: "I don't know, third brother, but my uncle said that as long as I seriously practice the "Thunder Heart Method" taught by him, I can become a master like him in the future!"
"The Heart of Thunder"?
Tsk tsk...
As soon as you hear the name, you know that it is a high-end product in the inner-qi cultivation method.
The Zhao family is also a powerful figure in the North. Several direct descendants of the Zhao family, including the head of the family, all hold general positions in the Northland army. They are real local powerful men and their background is not bad.
How could Zhao Ranruo, who was a direct descendant of the Zhao family, practice the "Running Thunder Heart Technique" so badly?
such a pity……
Chen Ying was a little regretful. The persona he had set for himself was that of an ordinary little transparent person. Otherwise, he would often get mixed up with the little fat man, and he would probably have been able to watch a few battles between Zhao Ranruo and the North City warriors.
Until now, he has never seen how a master of internal energy strikes. If he had the chance, he would really like to see it. Compared with the training methods of internal martial arts, what are the differences?
The poor guy, although he has sensed the strange substances in the air, he does not know that the era of true energy has truly arrived...
