Cultivation: My efforts will be successful

Chapter 8 Gong Qingshui

After half an hour.

Enter the living room of the fifth courtyard.

Gong Qingyun stood neatly dressed and looked slightly uneasy, holding a medical book in his hand, looking at it from time to time and mumbling something.

Chen Yi stood behind him, and the maid Zhuiyue came with him.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the curtain in the inner room finally opened and a tall woman came out.

The woman is about 18 years old. She looks like a snow lotus on an iceberg. She has a slender head and eyebrows, eyes filled with water, a snow-white face, and slender legs.
  She is wearing a winter coat, but it is not a girl's complicated skirt, but tight trousers. Every step she takes seems to be gentle, but her footsteps seem to be stepping on a certain point, which is very rhythmic.

Even though Chen Yi was new to martial arts, he could still feel the power of this woman's kicking skills.

After seeing the standing Gong Qingyun, a hint of imperceptible doting flashed in the woman's eyes, and then her eyes turned cold:

"Xiaoyun, how dare you tease your personal maid while I'm away? Your hair has grown, right?"

The voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of majesty.

Gong Qingyun suddenly shrank in fear and opened his mouth to defend, but Gong Qingshui stopped him by raising his hand.
  "I will test your homework first. If you fail to answer the questions, you will be punished twice as much!"

As he spoke, he walked to the Grand Master's chair and sat down. A maid had already brought tea to serve him. Another maid held a riding whip with both hands and placed it lightly on the table.

"First memorize all the acupuncture points and medical principles of the twelve yin and yang meridians of the hands and feet."

"Ah? I haven't learned that yet." Gong Qingyun was suddenly confused. He had only learned the twelve main meridians, and he had not learned the branches of the limbs.

"You have been studying for five years and you don't even know how to do this? Stand still and lift the stone lock!"

Fortunately, I wasn’t whipped.

Gong Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief. He was now standing on the boxing post. It was not difficult to lift a fifty-pound stone lock. My sister still loves me.
  "By the way, sister, how long will you hold it for?"

"How long do you hold it up? Hold it up until you can answer my question."

"what?"

Gong Qingyun was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt that the stone lock in his hand was as heavy as a mountain.

Then, the eldest lady asked a second question, which was more difficult than the previous one. It was all about complicated theories in the second half of the medical book. Even Chen Yi had to think about it before answering.

Now Chen Yi understood that the eldest lady came back not to take a test, but to deal with this younger brother.
  Then he thought of something, and without saying a word, he stood directly next to the young master and raised another stone lock with both hands.

Even the young master has to be punished, how can he, the student companion who follows him around every day, still be able to please him?

Ok?
  The eldest lady glanced at Chen Yi, but she was a little clever.

In the next quarter of an hour, the eldest lady asked almost all the medical problems she could think of, but Gong Qingyun could not answer any of them. He shifted his arms to lift the stone lock, and his arms were shaking with fatigue.

Occasionally, when I want to be lazy, I will get a whip.

Chen Yi is not lazy, he is a servant, and he must persist even if he can't, otherwise what will greet him will not be a whip.

Gong Qingyun has never suffered this kind of hardship. In fact, based on his physical condition and stance progress, lifting the stone lock for such a while is within the endurance range.

But he had been crying for a long time, complaining that he was tired and in pain and that he couldn't bear it.
  After all, Gong Qingshui doted on his younger brother, so when he saw this, he softened and let him stand up.

In fact, Chen Yi can still hold on for a while, but his current status as a servant does not allow him to outperform the young master in any aspect.

So long before the young master couldn't hold on any longer, Chen Yi pretended to be exhausted and couldn't bear it anymore.

"Get up too."

"Thank you, sister." Gong Qingyun's voice was trembling.

"Thank you, Miss." Chen Yi also pretended to be extremely weak and replied.

After Chen Yi got up, he stood behind Gong Qingyun. Because of the heavy physical exertion just now and the muscles in his upper body were overdrawn,

He subconsciously recalled several postures in the boxing pile that promoted the recovery of Qi and blood in the upper body, and slightly adjusted his stance.

Immediately, I felt that the flow of qi and blood in the body accelerated, and the focus was on activating the muscles such as the arms and chest. The eldest lady glanced at Chen Yi again, then at her brother, and secretly cursed:
  "Hezhuang, stand still!"

Gong Qingyun subconsciously took the stance and felt much more relaxed at this station.

"Stand there for half an hour, and then copy the medical book in the morning, [-] words of the original text plus annotations, not a word missing, and eat when you finish writing!"

"Ah?" Gong Qingyun looked hesitant. After doing so much, wouldn't the sun go down?

But seeing the eldest lady's hand lightly brushing the handle of the whip, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Come out with me!" The eldest lady glanced at Chen Yi.

Chen Yi followed the eldest lady, walked out of the room and stood in the yard.

"In the past six months, you have been studying and practicing martial arts with the young master?"

"Yes."

"How many medical books do you understand?"

"Absolutely the same as the young master." Chen Yi thought for a moment and gave a more modest answer.

"Yeah. Why did you instigate the young master to have sex with men?"

Gong Qingshui asked the key, and Chen Yi knew that if he couldn't answer this question well, his mind was not right, and he might lead the young master into trouble, and the consequences might be miserable.

"The young master enjoys horse hunting, and his mind is not on medicine. This is the only way to force the young master's interest back to medical books."

Well, my little brother is indeed a bit naughty. Although this method is a bit evil, it is still a good way to find out my little brother's hobbies, and it is quite clever.

Gong Qingshui thought for a while and then said:

"The young master was going to Zui Chun Tower, was it you who stopped him?"

Sure enough, there is a ghost in the young master's house, most likely Zhui Yue.

Chen Yi understood in an instant, because when he reported to the master earlier, it was Chen Yi who advised him to go to Zuichun Tower, but the master stopped him.
  Now when the eldest lady comes back, she will tell the real situation. It can only be a small report from someone close to her.

"Yes. The young master is not yet strong in martial arts, and it is not suitable to lose his virginity for the time being. I can only try my best to help the young master maintain this bottom line, but I didn't expect that the incident with Caiyun almost caused a mistake. This is my fault."

Unlike when he told the master, this time, Chen Yi chose to tell the truth.

The eldest lady nodded, and her favorable impression of Chen Yi improved again. He had ideas and a bottom line. He was worthy of being an escapee from the Snow Country family.

"Want to practice martial arts?" The eldest lady looked Chen Yi up and down, shook her head and said,

“I started too late, my health is too poor, and I have no big future.

I hope you have a sharp mind and I'll give you a chance to follow me. Maybe there will be a glimmer of hope in this life to enter Mingjin. "

Follow you? In order to save my life, I told the master that I would only obey the young master. Now if I change my master, wouldn't I become a slave with two surnames?
  Moreover, you have been wandering around outside all year round, fighting for opportunities for the young master. If I go, won’t I become cannon fodder?

I have a purple-gold destiny, so I just need to live in it and it will grow sooner or later. There is no need to go out and explore.

"I'm sorry, Miss. Although I really want to follow you, the young master needs me more. I'm afraid I can only be loyal to him." Chen Yi observed the look in the eyes of the eldest daughter and declined politely.

"Hmph, you don't know what Qingyun is like in front of me. How dare he not let go of the person I want?
  but,

Forget it, I, Gong Qingshui, never force anyone. If you miss the opportunity today, you will have to look at my mood when you kneel down to beg me tomorrow. "

After saying that, Gong Qingshui let Chen Yi enter the house, and then she ordered Zhuiyue:

"Bring a bowl of bone-strengthening soup to Chen Yi later."

Zhuiyue said in surprise: "Miss, you actually made an exception and gave a slave decoction?"

"This person is smart, intelligent and educated. He is different from ordinary slaves and deserves to be cultivated.

It's just that I'm a little foolish and loyal, and if I give him some sweetness, one day he will come to beg me. "
