The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Chapter 40: Mu Xiaokong, Becomes a Disciple

Shen Zhao's face is fair and translucent, so tender that you could squeeze water out of it. His upturned eyebrows should have been sharp and heroic, but his pair of peach blossom eyes softened the overall look.

She has a small nose, petal-like lips, and is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water.

Moreover, there is an indescribable aura around Shen Zhao, like wind and clouds, like ice and rain, which gives people a great attraction and makes people want to figure out what kind of woman she is.

Mu Xiaokong: I want to take her back to be my apprentice’s wife.

Those good-for-nothings can’t even find a wife, what a waste of their good looks.

Xiu'er is the most handsome, and this girl must like him, but Xiu'er cannot marry.

Other things may not be to this girl's liking.

Mu Xiaokong’s other disciples: We are not good enough, right?

Shen Zhao watched the old man's eyes wander around, muttering something from time to time and looking up at him a few times.

If he was not about the same age as Shen Lishi and could be Shen Zhao's grandfather, Shen Zhao would have suspected that he was a lecher and had fallen in love with himself.

Shen Zhao was impatient and hadn't said whether he would give the money or not!

Although thirty thousand taels for a drop of zero spring water might be a bit expensive, it saved his life.

Shen Zhao urged with a clear conscience,

"Will you give me the silver note or not? Thirty thousand taels."

Mu Xiaokong came back to his senses. He knew that it was impossible for Shen Zhao to spend 30,000 taels of silver to treat him. After all, his illness could not be cured by ordinary doctors. Only the pills made by the master of Lingyao Valley, Doctor Gu, could provide some relief.

Moreover, Mu Xiaokong felt at that time that he seemed to have fallen into the emergency situation that Doctor Gu had described. Even pills could not save him. Only if Doctor Gu gave him acupuncture personally would he have some hope of success.

Mu Xiaokong opened his eyes again, and even he couldn't believe it.

Mu Xiaokong knew that the girl opposite him must have some mysterious skills. She looked to be only in her teens. How could she cure a disease that even Doctor Gu could not cure?

Mu Xiaokong was very curious, and this time he used the secret technique of the Imperial Master's Mansion to carefully look at Shen Zhao for a moment.

Mu Xiaokong discovered that there was a large purple cloud hanging above Shen Zhaoying's head.

This kind of luck. Throughout history, he had only seen it around one person.

Shen Zhao was the second person he had ever met with purple luck.

Mu Xiaokong knew that Shen Zhao must be someone of great importance.

Then he smiled and said to Shen Zhao,

"Girl, I can't take out thirty thousand taels of silver, so I'll just agree to one of your requests."

Mu Xiaokong can definitely come up with the 30,000 taels of silver. If an apprentice hands over 10,000 taels, it is several times the 30,000 taels.

However, he wanted to make friends with this girl. After all, he was coveting the purple luck on Shen Zhao's head, which was the luck that only people with great fortune could have.

Mu Xiaokong said to Shen Zhao,

"Girl, let me introduce myself first. My surname is Mu. My given name is Xiaokong, and I am from the capital.

Shen Zhao replied,

"My last name is Shen Zhao. Shen Zhao."

Mu Xiaokong sighed,

"What a good name. Zhao means bright and brilliant. Miss Shen Zhao must be a kind-hearted person who is positive and optimistic about life. Otherwise, why would she save an old man like me?"

Shen Zhao said directly without mercy,

"That's not the case. You said you were from the Imperial Master's Mansion. That's why I saved you."

Mu Xiaokong scratched his head.

The nobleman's temperament was instantly destroyed.

Did he say that? I have no idea.

I originally wanted to hide my identity, but I didn't expect that all my secrets would be revealed to this girl the first time we met.

Mu Xiaokong smiled guiltily.

"Shen Zhao girl, I didn't hide it on purpose. Isn't this a hero who doesn't ask where he came from?"

Shen Zhao thought to himself, you are so shameless that you even call yourself a hero!

Mu Xiaokong didn’t care at all about what was wrong with this statement. Even the current emperor considered him a hero, so why wouldn’t he be considered one?

Mu Xiaokong's secrets were all revealed in front of Shen Zhao, so he might as well tell the truth. It would be best to kidnap this girl.

"Zhao Zhao, you are right, I am indeed from the Imperial Master's Mansion, but I am not the Imperial Master. However, I am the most important person to the Imperial Master.

Most people would think of relatives when hearing this, but Shen Zhao was not like that. She deliberately teased Mu Xiaokong.

"Then you are the one he has a crush on. I didn't expect you to be so young."

Shen Zhao shook his head with an expression that said, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."

Mu Xiaokong lost his composure. What was this girl thinking? How old was he? How old was the Imperial Master? Was he that old?

Mu Xiaokong has always been confident in his beauty-preserving skills, but he didn't expect to suffer a setback from Shen Zhao.

Not wanting to keep it a secret any longer, Mu Xiaokong no longer had the expression of boasting, and said weakly,

"I'm his master, Master. In other words, I'm his father."

The national teacher who is thousands of miles away: You are old enough to be my grandfather!

After Mu Xiaokong said that, he wanted to see Shen Zhao's surprised expression.

She saved the master of the current imperial master with just a casual move. Isn't that surprising?

In order to let Shen Zhao have a more detailed understanding of the National Master, Mu Xiaokong began to praise his little disciple.

"Five hundred words omitted..."

"So, my Xiu'er can be said to be the second person under the emperor."

Shen Zhao added,

“Is it easy to succeed in a rebellion?”

"Want to try?"

Mu Xiaokong:!!!

He decided to bring the topic back to the original place and talk about this topic with the girl again. His heart was beating fast.

"Zhao Zhao, you just said that you need me to agree to one of your requests. Don't worry, just tell me. I can agree to not just one, but ten, um, three requests."

Mu Xiaokong urgently withdrew a number.

Phew, I'd better stop bragging.

Shen Zhao did not notice Mu Xiaokong's relief. She was as firm as ever in her request that she had thought of early in the morning and said seriously,

"Master Mu..."

Now it was Shen Zhao's turn to urgently withdraw this title.

She wanted the other person to be her master, and calling him grandpa seemed too much of a generation gap.

This is not okay.

Shen Zhao skipped the title.

"I want you to take me as your apprentice."

Mu Xiaokong finally showed a serious expression after hearing this and asked back,

"Shen Zhao girl, why do you want to be my apprentice?"

"I want to experience what it feels like to be able to rebel."

"Hahaha".

Looking at Mu Xiaokong's wrinkled face, Shen Zhao laughed loudly.

Then she said,

"Because the Imperial Master is very powerful, being his junior sister will allow me to walk around the capital with my own way."

Mu Xiaokong was puzzled. Isn’t Shen Zhao from Shenjia Village?

Why does it sound like she will live in the capital in the future?

Shen Zhao seemed to see through the doubt on Mu Xiaokong's face and said casually,

"I am not the biological child of the Shen family. My biological parents are in the capital. Oh, maybe you know them. They are from the Sheng Palace."

Mu Xiaokong was shocked. He had never heard of any child being lost in Prince Sheng’s Mansion.

Since Shen Zhao had already said half of it, he might as well finish the other half to satisfy his future master's curiosity.

"I am the daughter of Princess Sheng, the little princess who died young."

After Shen Zhao said this, Mu Xiaokong understood everything.

He had once met Princess Sheng on Weiyang Street in the capital. At that time, Princess Sheng had just become pregnant and had asked him to help see how the fetus was developing in the mother's body.

Mu Xiaokong has extraordinary qualities to be regarded as a hero by the current emperor.

He is proficient in all kinds of knowledge and has inherited many mysterious techniques, but there is a price to pay every time he uses a technique.

Mu Xiaokong looked at the expectant expression on Princess Sheng's face and couldn't bear to reject her deep love for her son. Besides, this little magic would only make the body weak for two or three days.

He agreed, and the group found a restaurant. Mu Xiaokong used magic to discover that the baby in Princess Sheng's belly was actually entangled with purple and white auras.

He couldn't tell the result, so he could only tell Princess Sheng, "Everything is fine, relax."

Princess Sheng was very grateful. She still remembers Princess Sheng's motherly attitude.

What Mu Xiaokong didn't expect was that when he returned to Beijing after traveling for two years, he heard the news that Princess Sheng had given birth to a stillborn baby and asked to go to the royal temple to practice.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, Mu Xiaokong met a maid who claimed to be the daughter of Princess Sheng.

Mu Xiaokong didn't know how Shen Zhao knew her true life experience, so she just asked calmly,

"Old man, I just want to ask you one question. Do you have any way to prove that what you said is true?"

Shen Zhao took out the jade seal directly.

Mu Xiaokong was shocked. This is...

Indeed, Shen Zhao did not lie.

Since what Shen Zhao said was true and Shen Zhao saved his life, and more importantly, Shen Zhao's strong purple luck, Mu Xiaokong was willing to accept her as his disciple.

But, as a master, I still have to take responsibility for what needs to be done.

Mu Xiaokong pretended to be in deep thought.

"I am very strict in accepting disciples. I still need to consider what you said. That's it. I will give you an answer in three days."

Mu Xiaokong planned to tell Shen Zhao tomorrow that he agreed not to move the little disciple to be filial to his master.

Shen Zhao: I directly betrayed my teacher and ancestors.

Shen Zhao directly took out a knife from the kitchen and was about to put it on Mu Xiaokong's neck with a cold look.

"Oh, it's alright. I don't like to force others. If you don't agree, forget it. But I saved you. Since you don't have the 30,000 taels of silver and you don't agree to my request, just give me your life back."

Shen Zhao said calmly, as if he didn't take Mu Xiaokong's rejection seriously.

Mu Xiaokong: I was considering it, considering it, not refusing!

Mu Xiaokong felt like crying but had no tears.

He didn't expect that this little disciple had such a bad temper. He decided to educate her more in the future and let her senior brothers suffer more. At the moment, their lives were more important.

Mu Xiaokong nodded, his whole body tense, and said slowly,

"Zhao Zhao, don't get excited. Master has considered it and decided to accept you as his apprentice. It's this knife. Take a look."

Shen Zhao changed his expression very quickly, dropped his knife, knelt down, knocked his head, and said,

"Disciple Shen Zhao has met Master. Master is the best."

This was the first time Mu Xiaokong accepted a disciple. He decided not to mention this dark history to anyone, not even his favorite disciple from the Imperial Master.

But Shen Zhao is a person who cheats his master.

Mu Xiaokong will know later.

At this moment, he was standing up and preparing to help Shen Zhao up.

Before he could fully get up, Shen Zhao got up on his own initiative.

Mu Xiaokong: This disciple always exceeds my expectations.

Since Shen Zhao has become his disciple, Mu Xiaokong plans to introduce his sect and several of Shen Zhao's senior brothers and sisters to Shen Zhao.

Although Shen Zhao had a general understanding of it from the melon in the morning, it was just a brief description. Now that his master was giving a small lesson, Shen Zhao naturally pricked up his ears very seriously.

Mu Xiaokong: The little disciple is quite well behaved and listens carefully to what the master says!

Shen Zhao’s inner thoughts: These will be my golden legs for doing evil in the future!

"Zhao Zhao, our sect is..., you have six senior brothers, they are... The youngest senior brother is the national teacher I just mentioned to you, his real name is Fu Xiu.

Next, let’s talk about your senior sisters. There are five of them in total... Your youngest senior sister is a concubine in the palace, her name is Lou Qingyin.

Some of the other brothers and sisters are in the capital, and some are in other places. I will introduce them to you in the future."

Shen Zhao sighed, his cheap master had so many disciples, so by that number he was the twelfth. He hoped that in the future he would have a younger brother or sister to play with.

Mu Xiaokong came to the capital to attend to an important matter, but he unexpectedly fell ill on the official road from Shen Zhao back to Shenjia Village, so Mu Xiaokong had to finish his business first and then return to the capital.

Shen Zhao didn't mind at all. She had never planned to rely on anyone when returning to the capital, and finding a master was completely unexpected.

Besides, if the master followed him, Shen Zhao would not be able to make any big noise.

She must return to the capital with a resounding attitude and will never let down the reputation of the melon-eating system.

Mu Xiaokong was pleased that Shen Zhao was so sensible. In order to ensure that Shen Zhao would have someone to rely on in the capital in the future, he rummaged through a secret pocket sewn in his underwear and took out a small purple bell.

"Zhao Zhao, if you encounter any problems when you arrive in the capital, go find your junior brother and take this purple bell with you. The Imperial Master's Mansion will let you in.

I will also send a pigeon to your senior brother to let him know that you are his junior sister."

Shen Zhao happily accepted the token from the golden thigh! !

Thinking of his cheap master's illness, Shen Zhao decided to give him some love from a young disciple before he left.

"Master, are you hungry?"

The master and disciple talked for a long time, and Shen Zhao finally remembered that this new master had slept for a day and a night, and talked to him for about an hour after waking up, and he hadn't even eaten yet!

She spoke to make amends, of course, because she cared about her master, it definitely didn't mean she wanted to leave!

After this reminder, Mu Xiaokong suddenly felt that he was hungry.

"Master, I'll go heat it up and bring it to you."

The Shen family had prepared food for Mu Xiaokong in the morning, so Shen Zhao just needed to heat it up.

Shen Zhao went out for an incense stick of time and came back with the things.

After going back and forth twice, Shen Zhao left, saying that he did not want to disturb the master's meal.

Shen Zhao walked into the yard and just breathed a sigh of relief.

A resentful voice suddenly sounded in his ears, catching Shen Zhao off guard.

"Zhao Zhao, you finally finished talking to him. I've been chopping wood for an hour."

Shen Zhao turned around and was shocked to see piles of tall, full firewood in the corner.

All the firewood for the Shen family for the next month was chopped by Shen Wenjiang alone.

Shen Zhao praised affirmatively,

"Brother, you are awesome."

Shen Wenjiang touched his numb arm and decided that he could chop for another hour.

Shen Zhao: Not at all!
