Chapter 136 Master's Favor
After Shen Sijing arrived at the martial arts gym, several apprentices saw him and subconsciously made way for him.

"Good morning, Shen Sijing."

"Good, good, good!"

Shen Sijing was in a good mood and nodded to several apprentices with a smile.

The apprentices only had to look to know that this senior brother was in high spirits and full of joy.

No wonder, apart from himself, the person who was most happy about Zhou You’s breakthrough recently was Senior Brother Shen Sijing.

Everyone in the martial arts gym knows that Zhou You is Senior Brother Shen’s most respected younger brother.

Zhou You broke through his Qi and blood, and one more disciple was added to the inner courtyard, so the power on Shen Sijing's side became even stronger.

When someone is happy, someone else is sad. Zhong Shaoying has been in a bad mood recently and has no time to try to please Wang Yan.

"Zhou You, your Qi and blood are more vigorous than that of ordinary people. It has only been a few days since your breakthrough, but your Jade Tiger Skill has improved so much."

"Well, only with a solid foundation can you go a long way in the future."

After Shen Sijing walked into the inner courtyard, he heard an old voice.

The one who taught Zhou You how to practice martial arts was no longer his senior brother Lu Qiang, but the owner of the gym, Wang Jianxiong.

According to the rules of the inner courtyard, all disciples' martial arts progress must be supervised and controlled by the master.

The eldest senior brother, Lu Qiang, can only be responsible for teaching and supervising the apprentices in the outer courtyard.

After Zhou You became an inner court disciple, he was finally qualified to listen to Wang Jianxiong's personal teachings.

The person has vigorous qi and blood, which is different from ordinary people. This evaluation is quite high.

You must know that Qi and blood are to warriors what food and grass are to the army, and are very important.

The stronger the qi and blood, the more powerful the boxing power will be, the longer the endurance will be, and the overall strength will be improved to a higher level.

However, qi and blood come from the bone marrow, and the only intuitive way to distinguish them is to cut open the bones and observe whether they are full, which is too bloody.

So, you can’t tell the potential just by looking at the appearance!

Shen Sijing didn't expect that Zhou You actually had such an amazing talent of vigorous energy and blood.

It was not obvious in the past, but this talent was stimulated only after I broke through my Qi and Blood today.

"It's fine if you and I know this secret, but don't tell anyone. Shen Sijing, you should also keep it a secret."

Shen Sijing was startled and quickly walked to Wang Jianxiong, "Disciple will never tell anyone."

When he looked up, Zhou You was standing in front of Wang Jianxiong, looking like he had just finished a boxing match.

"Master, have some tea!"

A concubine came forward carrying a tea tray.

Wang Jianxiong picked up a cup, but instead of drinking it himself, he handed it to Zhou You naturally.

Seeing this scene, the concubine and Shen Sijing were shocked.

How much he values ​​Zhou You!

Zhou You took the tea bowl with both hands and said, "Disciple dare not trouble Master."

"There's no need to be polite between master and disciple. You'll be serving me tea and water a lot in the future."

Since becoming an inner court disciple, Zhou You felt that his interpersonal relationships had changed. The usually aloof master had turned into an amiable master who personally taught him how to practice martial arts and even gave him corrections and guidance.

This treatment is extraordinary! In addition, the monthly silver has increased to 50 taels, and a tiger life-changing pill is also given.

Zhou You suddenly had some money on his hands, so he quickly completed the renting procedures and moved with his parents to an area closer to the city and closer to the martial arts gym.

Although we haven't entered the inner city yet, we are not far away.

Wang Jianxiong happily watched Zhou You sipping tea and playing with the grass gourd in his hand.

"Zhou You, I know everything about that bastard Zhang Shiyu. He betrayed his master and ancestors and defected to another family. What a disgusting thing!"

"He thought he had established a relationship with the city gate guards, which made me feel uneasy!" "I borrowed a military cannon from General Chen Qian a few days ago. Now I'm going to return it after using it. You and Shi Gaofei can go there."

"Let Captain Ye see that I, Wang Lao Hu, am not without foundation."

General Chen Qian is a military officer stationed in a martial arts school near Gongliang City. He has 1500 elite soldiers under his command and is not afraid of the city gate guards at all.

He and Wang Jianxiong are close friends and have been in constant contact for many years.

The purpose of arranging Zhou You to return the artillery now is to let him show up in front of General Chen Qian, so that Captain Ye will have some concerns.

Well intentioned!
Zhou You suddenly felt that his master was actually very pure. As long as you had potential, you would be closer to him than his own son.

"Shen Sijing, it's rare for you to go back to the martial arts gym. How are things going at home?"

Wang Jianxiong only paid attention to Shen Sijing after he finished his tour around here.

"Reporting to Master, the trouble is over."

"Recently, the caravan brought back a batch of top-quality furs. I selected two boxes of the best quality furs and sent them to the backyard."

Wang Jianxiong nodded and said, "You are so thoughtful. Ask the women in the family to make a few coats for everyone."

The "everyone has a share" here refers to Wang Jianxiong and his daughter, as well as several inner court disciples.

Even his concubines were not included, not to mention the apprentices in the outer courtyard.

"Thank you for the reward, Master."

Zhou You followed Shen Sijing and thanked him respectfully.

The old man was old and had limited energy, so the teaching ended after half a day.

Shen Sijing and Zhou You talked alone in a quiet corner of the inner courtyard.

"Zhou You, you are now an inner court disciple, your status is different from before."

"I have discussed with my father that your father will first be given the position of acting manager to familiarize himself with the job for a while, and then he will be made a full-time employee by the end of the year at the latest."

Being an executive? Is my father that kind of person?
Zhou You came to realize that this was a bribe and that the Shen Family Business wanted to further tie him up.

Promotion and salary increase, just like Xu Ying’s father, he wants you to work hard at the critical moment.

This is the case for Shen Sijing and also for Wang Jianxiong from the martial arts school.

Ultimately, personal connections are about interests. If someone is willing to buy and use you, it means you still have value.

They are totally worthless and can be found in large quantities on the streets. They have all become starving people to death.

Zhou You didn't need to think too much, and bowed and said, "My father's affairs are all arranged by Senior Brother, please take good care of him."

My father is a kind person who is content with the status quo, a little clever and calculating, but can't bear to hurt others.
This kind of personality is suitable for living a stable life in peaceful times.

If it weren't for his son Zhou You to support him, he would have been eaten to the bone in this dangerous world.

"Zhou You, you and I are like brothers. Your father is my uncle!"

Shen Sijing looked at Zhou You, and could not tell anything from his expression.

He recalled something his younger sister Shen Siying had mentioned, and suddenly felt a little unsure.

The younger sister Shen Siying treated Zhou You as an ordinary apprentice and gave him money as a reward as usual.

When he found out about it later, he kept blaming his younger sister, saying that she shouldn't have humiliated Zhou You like that, as he was a younger brother, not a servant.

Zhou You’s response surprised him even more. He didn’t explain, nor did he get angry. Instead, he calmly accepted the reward money and continued to work diligently afterwards, without showing any dissatisfaction in front of him.

This kind of broad-mindedness and tolerance is totally inconsistent with coming from a small family!
Whenever Shen Sijing thought about this matter, he was afraid that it would be impossible to completely tie Zhou You to the Shen family and make him willingly serve as a dead soldier.

"Could it be that the only option is to marry my little sister to him?"

Sometimes, he even thought about getting married.

However, although my younger sister looks weak, she is actually arrogant and proud. She once swore that she would never marry anyone else. Her ideal husband must be the best person in the world, and being well-matched is a basic requirement.

I had to give up this idea!
