Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 16 Being Hated
Zhu Ye didn't have as many thoughts as Liu He. He held the two packets of herbs and was so moved that he cried.

Zhu Ye's mother was really distressed when she saw how much her son had suffered these days, so she had always wanted the master to find a way to teach the Liu family a lesson. However, when she saw her son bringing back herbs in the evening and saying that they were sent by the Liu family, she knew that it was a duty to repay a debt of gratitude, and Mrs. Zhu didn't know what to say for a while.

What was even more unexpected was that with the help of this prescription, after just over ten days, Zhu Ye not only felt relaxed all over, but it seemed as if all his bones and tendons were reborn. He was able to lift a huge rock that he could only lift a few feet before. The child jumped up and down with excitement, and hugged his mother, hugged and kissed her, which immediately made the mother feel relieved.

Mr. Zhu was also beaming with joy when he saw his only son so happy.

But Mrs. Zhu next to her frowned.

"Alas, Ye'er is only ten years old. He should study hard for a few years and donate money to become a filial and honest official when he grows up. Why should he suffer like this? When I saw his appearance a few days ago, I, as a mother, was really heartbroken."

"Woman, what do you know!" Mr. Zhu said in a scolding tone.

"My Zhu family has always been a military family. My grandfather was a garrison commander, and my father was a county lieutenant. They were all military commanders. But I didn't like martial arts since I was a child, which led to my family's decline. Now that Ye'er has this talent, he can revive the family's reputation. How can you and I hold him back?"

Mr. Zhu has always been majestic in the family. After being scolded by him, Mrs. Zhu dared not say anything.

At this time, a servant suddenly came to report that Mr. Ke, the martial arts master in the mansion, wanted to see him.

"Hmm? What are you doing here, Mr. Ke, at this hour?"

Although Mr. Zhu was puzzled, he had spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Ke to be Zhu Ye's martial arts teacher, so he could not neglect him. He quickly asked the servants to invite him to the main hall, while Mrs. Zhu retreated to the inner hall alone.

Teacher Ke Wu was quite sturdy, nearly eight feet tall, with a full beard. He walked into the main hall with a stern face, which made Master Zhu a little confused.

"Please take a seat, sir. Didn't Zhu allow Mr. Ke to rest at home these days? I suddenly came to visit you today. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Master Ke Wu knelt aside, with a sullen face, and clasped his fists towards Master Zhu.

"Master, are you dissatisfied with my lack of martial arts skills and no longer need me to teach your son? If so, Master Zhu, please speak frankly and I will find another job."

After hearing these nonsensical words, Mr. Zhu was confused.

"Why do you say that, sir? Is it because someone in my Zhu Mansion has been negligent and made you unhappy?"

"If you didn't have such intention, why did you let me stay at home idle and let you learn martial arts from a little kid? Now everyone in the mansion says that your martial arts have improved a hundred times after you followed him, and you are a hundred times better than if you followed me. How can I, a man of honor, endure such a great humiliation!"

Master Ke Wu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"This..." Mr. Zhu finally understood why the other party was so angry.

"Sir, please don't misunderstand. Those are just random comments from the servants in the mansion. We will punish them later. My son and his playmates are just kids playing around. When he has had enough fun, I will let him stay at home after a while. Then he will need your guidance."

Mr. Zhu said all the nice things he could, but Master Ke Wu didn't buy it.

"That won't do! I joined the army at the age of 20 and retired at the age of 27. Now I am over 40 years old and have never suffered such humiliation. How can I let it go like this!"

Master Zhu was immediately displeased. Zhu Ye was his son, and he could let him learn martial arts from whomever he wanted. Not to mention that Zhu Ye's strength and character had improved a lot after following Liu He, even if they were just playing around, it was him as a father who agreed. This martial arts master Ke was just a teacher he had paid for. He had explained to him so kindly and apologized, but he was still making trouble. Did he think the Zhu family was easy to bully?

Mr. Zhu's face also turned cold: "Then I wonder how this matter should be resolved, sir?"

Master Ke Wu was completely unaware of Master Zhu's change of mood, and said to himself: "Tomorrow, I will go with you to meet that kid from the Liu family. When I beat him up and make him cry for his parents, you will naturally understand who is the truly capable person!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhu frowned.

Although he had no good feelings towards the common people in the countryside, he was also a little angry when Zhu Ye went to the Liu family to do odd jobs.

However, Liu He and his son have a very good relationship now, and Zhu Ye has indeed changed a lot after following him for more than ten days. If he lets Master Ke Wu teach him a lesson, wouldn't people say that the Zhu family is quibbling with an eight-year-old child, which would be a disgrace to the family?

He was about to speak out to stop him, but Master Ke continued, "Master Zhu, don't worry. I am not a reckless person. I am here only to teach you the pros and cons, but I will not make things difficult for those vulgar people. I will let them know my identity and ask them not to try to curry favor with the Zhu family in the future."

Mr. Zhu felt that there was some truth in what he said. Zhu Ye would eventually pursue a career in politics, and it was not a good idea for him to keep playing in the mud with a kid like this.

Mr. Zhu said a few words like "don't hurt anyone", which was considered as his agreement. Only then did Master Ke Wu relax his brows and leave.

The next morning, it was three quarters past the hour of Mao. The sky was still light and the air was chilly. Most of the leaves on the trees on the back hill had fallen. The sun was rising, beginning to melt the thin layer of frost that had spread during the night.

“Heh…ha…”

"Come on, brother! You've only made thirty-seven, and the young master has made forty-two. You're lagging behind!"

A petite girl stood in front of a wooden house, clapping her hands and shouting.

In an open space not far away, two little boys were doing push-ups. They were Liu He and Zhang Yong.

The two of them quickly finished fifty push-ups each and sat aside to rest for a while.

"Eh? Why is Brother Zhu so late today? Usually he is the first to arrive."

Zhang Yong took a sip of water and asked doubtfully.

Liu He was also a little strange.

"The weather is cold now. It's normal to get up late occasionally. Brother Zhu was always the most enthusiastic in exercising before. Maybe he is tired now."

The two were drinking water when they suddenly heard Erni shout, "Oh, isn't that Brother Zhu coming?"

Liu He looked over quickly. On the mountain road a few dozen steps away, two figures, one large and one small, appeared. Who else could one of them be but Zhu Ye? As for the other person, everyone just thought he was his follower and didn't pay any attention to him.

"Haha, Brother Zhu, you are late today. My son and I have been practicing for quite a while!"
