I Studied Abroad in Modern Times - Chapter 47

Chapter 47 Grace

Zheng Fa soon understood why Gao Yuan said that the seventh young master had become like him.

On this day, the morning light had just illuminated the eaves of the roof, and dewdrops were still hanging on the grass blades by the roadside.

As soon as Zheng Fa and Gao Yuan arrived in the study, they saw the seventh young master sitting upright, holding a book “Full Interpretation of Talisman Pictures” and reading. The brush in his hand was still on the paper while he was reading and drawing very seriously.

Zheng Fa couldn’t help turning his head and glanced at Gao Yuan, who nodded slightly to him.

“How long have you been sick?”

“Two days.” Gao Yuan replied.

“This is so exciting!”

Zheng Fa frowned, it was really abnormal for the seventh young master to behave like this.

Among the three of them, it’s hard to say whether it’s Zheng Fa or Gao Yuan who is the most diligent and serious, but the laziest one is definitely the Seventh Young Master.

Usually when they came over in the morning, the seventh young master hadn’t even gotten up yet, let alone sat in front of the table and studied so seriously.

Gao Yuan said that the seventh young master looked like him and described it accurately:

Zheng Fa used to memorize the things in the book, and then slowly understood that in the eyes of others, he was in a daze most of the time instead of reading.

Gao Yuan likes to meditate on books, taking notes while reading. He also likes to scratch his head and ears when encountering difficulties – just like the seventh young master who is scratching his head now.

Bang!

The seventh young master at the table angrily threw away the pen in his hand, stood up, stared at the book open in front of him and gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to fight this book for three hundred rounds.

After feeling sulky for a while, he looked up and saw Zheng Fa and Zheng Fa at the door.

“Master, what are you doing?” Zheng Fa asked.

“Huh…my mother told me that my sister is coming back.” The seventh young master said with a sigh of relief.

“Miss? Didn’t the eldest lady go to the Immortal Sect and are you coming back?”

After all, Zheng Fa grew up in Zhuangzi and was not as familiar with the relationships within the family as Gao Yuan. Only after listening to him did he learn that it was the legendary seventh young master’s sister who was the eldest among the immortals of this generation in the Zhao family.

“But when the eldest lady comes back, what does it have to do with you working so hard, Master Seventh?” Zheng Fa still didn’t quite understand the changes in Master Seventh.

“Although my sister went to the Immortal Sect, she still writes to my mother every ten days or so. The letters are full of words asking my mother to urge me to study talisman seriously. She also said that she will take a test on me when she comes back.”

I understand, Master Seven, this is pre-exam syndrome.

“But if the eldest lady wants to take the exam for you, young master, let her take the exam. Why do you care so much, young master?” Gao Yuan asked.

Zheng Fa understood what he meant. As long as the seventh young master had a little reverence for exams and a little shame about his grades, he would not become a secret disciple that Mr. Shen didn’t want to mention.

“You don’t understand my sister.” The seventh young master’s face looked a bit unbearable: “When I was young, my brothers and I went to fool around in my front yard. My sister came to the front yard with a stick and beat them until they were gone for three days. Get out of bed.”

“My sister was only ten years old at the time.”

Zheng Fa has now heard a bit about the structure of the Zhao Mansion. The power of the Zhao Mansion is generally in the hands of his wife, but the front yard is under the control of the master of the Zhao Mansion, the seventh young master’s father, and the wife barely cares about it.

The front yard and the back yard are clearly separated. The owner of the Zhao Mansion in the front yard ignores secular affairs, behaves wildly and indulges in drinking and sex, and raises many beauties and concubines in the front yard.

The so-called brothers of the Seventh Young Master are probably these people. As for the fooling around, they are probably the tricks of the inner family.

Gao Yuan knew the inside story and said with emotion: “A eldest sister is like a mother. The eldest lady really cares for the young master.”

The seventh young master grinned: “After she returned to the backyard, she beat me up too. I didn’t get out of bed for three months. If she knew that I had been slacking off a little bit in the past ten years…”

Zheng Fa: …This is still a tiger mother, no wonder the seventh young master is so panicked.

…

At lunch time, Zheng Fa left the study and walked to his home. Since his mother and sister moved to Zhao Mansion, Zheng Fa almost always went home to eat at every meal time. Looking at his retreating figure, the seventh young master breathed out softly and leaned back on the chair, seeming to relax a lot.

“Master?” Gao Yuan looked at him and then at Zheng Fa who was walking away.

“Gao Yuan…” The seventh young master stood up, walked to Gao Yuan, and patted his shoulder: “I used to be a young master and I was too harsh on you.”

He suddenly spoke human words, so that Gao Yuan’s face was full of horror: “Master, when the time comes, the eldest lady will beat you, I can’t stop you!”

“roll!”

While his eyes were still looking at the direction in which Zheng Fa was leaving, the seventh young master remembered what his mother had said to him before.

Zheng Fa…if there is no real Yuanying behind him, how can he cultivate into the “Spiritual Crane Body”?

As for why Zheng Fa didn’t tell him, his mother also said: He is just a mortal and a domestic slave, how dare he reveal the whereabouts of the real Yuanying?

Even the seventh young master is not too worried about what the real Yuanying master has against his family.

The Zhao family really has nothing worthy of Master Yuanying’s attempt. If he really has an intention, with the strength of Master Yuanying, why would it be so troublesome?

His mother guessed with him for a long time and felt that the most likely scenario was that Zheng Fa was extremely talented and was spotted by Master Yuanying, who was ready to accept him as a disciple.

“Master, I originally thought that you are a bit petty, always like to compare yourself with others, and are full of petty thoughts, which makes you unhappy.” The seventh young master said to Gao Yuan with some emotion: “You really look down on you.”

plateau:”…”

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

“Now I finally understand you. It’s normal for you to be a little cautious around Zheng Fa.”

“Master, I am actually not who you say I am…”

Gao Yuan tried to argue.

“Stop talking, I understand you! Alas, now Zheng Fa is valued by Yuan… and others,” the seventh young master stopped blurting out the word Yuan Ying and said vaguely: “I used to be a young master and he was a book boy. He is no longer I don’t feel anything great.”

The seventh young master remembered that before, no matter how talented Zheng Fa was, he had always treated Zheng Fa with a look down on him.

After all, no matter how you say it, Zheng Fa is still his scholar. Even if he has the qualifications to ascend to the immortal sect, he still needs the Zhao family to give him the way to ascend to the heaven.

But now…

“It’s easy for him to want to go to the Immortal Sect now, but I suddenly feel uncomfortable when I’m around him.” The seventh young master’s face was full of tangles: “When I think about my sister going to the Immortal Sect, Zheng Fa went to the Immortal Sect again. “I’m the only one left. Don’t you look too useless, young master? I haven’t been able to sleep well these past two days!”

Gao Yuan didn’t fully understand, but he understood one thing.

The reason why the seventh young master has become so diligent is not only because the eldest lady is coming back, but also because Zheng Fa’s talent is too great, which makes the seventh young master anxious.

I don’t even want to stay with Zheng Fa anymore!

I feel the trust and kindness that the Seventh Young Master and I have towards me, which is very different from the past.

Gao Yuan smiled widely on his face and felt excited:

Zheng Fa, let you show off your beauty! Although I cannot compare with you in other aspects, from now on, I will be the only one favored by the young master!

“Master! From now on I…” He was about to show his loyalty again.

“Zheng Fayi is next to me, and I can’t seem to compare to him. I feel like a waste.” The seventh young master interrupted him. At this point, he looked at Gao Yuan with gentle eyes and said with emotion:

“But as soon as I saw you, I felt much better. Your talent in academics is not as good as his, and your martial arts skills are even worse. You don’t have any talent in talismans. The only thing better than him is that you are from a better background and you are fairer than him… Oh, he’s not in vain now.”

The smile on Gao Yuan’s face gradually solidified.

“Looking at you, I thought, it’s okay for you to be such a loser. I’m still a young master after all, and my heart doesn’t feel so painful all of a sudden.” After saying that, the seventh young master also said sincerely: “Plateau, from now on young master I can’t live without you.”

Gao Yuan: …Is this grace so hurtful?
