On the Self-Cultivation of a Scumbag

Surrounded by a crowd of people who showed no signs of leaving, Lu Zheng had no way to practice boxing with Lin Wan alone.

Fortunately, there was no rush, so he treated this visit as a way to familiarize himself with the place.

Lu Zheng mingled with the group of men, exchanging moves and pointing out their weaknesses.

For Lu Zheng, who had cultivated Martial Blood Qi and practiced traditional saber techniques to a certain level, their weaknesses were obvious.

They didn't go out for lunch, as the Club provided healthy meals, which Lu Zheng enjoyed for free.

Then Lu Tieling appeared and announced that he was happy today, so lunch was free for everyone.

Hmm, I wonder what he's so happy about, did his dream goddess finally give up, or did he get beaten up? It wasn't until the afternoon that Lu Zheng finally had time to guide Lin Wan alone.

"Your weaknesses are obvious: not enough strength, not enough speed, not enough reaction time, not enough skill, and not enough experience."

Lin Wan, "..."

"Strength, speed, and reaction time can only be improved slowly," Lu Zheng said. "Skill and experience, on the other hand, can be trained specifically."

Lin Wan's beautiful eyes lit up. "How can I train specifically?"

Lu Zheng smiled. "I'll be your sparring partner!"

Lin Wan blinked, looking away. "I'd feel bad about that."

Lu Zheng shrugged helplessly. "Then should we just forget about it?"

"No!" Lin Wan's Willow Leaf Eyes widened. "Are you busy usually?"

"Busy!" Lu Zheng nodded.

"What about weekends?"

"Not bad, I guess."

"Then can you come teach me on weekends?" The policewoman suddenly turned into a little white rabbit.

Lu Zheng stroked his chin, and seeing Lin Wan's gaze becoming more and more dangerous, he finally nodded with a smile. "No problem."

A tacit understanding was formed.

For the next few hours, the two didn't go back to the ring, but instead taught below. Lu Zheng demonstrated several grappling techniques to Lin Wan, as well as ways to improvise.

When the two left the Club in the afternoon, Lin Wan had already taken Lu Zheng's arm.

Captured!

Was I captured just like that?

Lying in bed, Lu Zheng looked serious and thought to himself, I'm still too young, I don't know how to be reserved. As soon as a beautiful lady takes the initiative, I surrender. I didn't even try to delay it in a roundabout way, I didn't show any of the characteristics of a scumbag. I must look like an honest man, it's really too embarrassing.

Of course, that's what he said, but Lu Zheng wasn't just any casual person. It could only be said that Lin Wan's heroic spirit, confidence, and lithe body like a female leopard also attracted Lu Zheng.

Who wouldn't love this kind of lady? Lu Zheng sighed...

Of course, Lin Wan wasn't by his side at this time. The two had only eaten dinner together, and Lu Zheng had sent Lin Wan home before returning alone, only getting a kiss.

"Too unambitious!"

"However, I must strictly draw the line. Going to a hotel is okay, but no living together!"

"Boys must be careful to protect themselves when they're out!"

To be honest, after staying in ancient times for so long, Lu Zheng felt a faint sense of alienation from modern times. Now that he had a girlfriend, it was pretty good.

Drowsily, Lu Zheng fell asleep.

"Captured?"

"Of course!"

"Then why did you come back?"

"Where else would I go if I didn't come back?"

"His family!"

"Too fast, right?"

"Weren't you going to squeeze him dry?"

"You shameless woman!"

"I'm shameless?" Huang Xiumin was amused by her words. "Don't say I didn't warn you, a young man of twenty-two or three, with vigorous Martial Blood Qi, and doesn't know how to refuse pretty young ladies. If you're a little slow, someone else might snatch him away."

Recalling the women in the Club with fire in their eyes, Lin Wan twisted her body, her eyes darting left and right, "Really?"

Huang Xiumin couldn't help but roll her eyes, "I don't know, I'm going to binge-watch dramas, don't bother me!"

The next morning, Lu Zheng returned to ancient times.

"Brother Lu!"

"Lu-lang!"

Lu Zheng ran into the Liu sisters, who were seeing Old Man Liu off, just as he was leaving his house.

"Good morning, Old Man Liu, Qingquan, Miss Liu!"

Lu Zheng's face showed the most honest and sincere smile, refreshing and clean.

"Is Lu-lang going to Qing Sheng Teahouse?" Old Man Liu asked.

Usually, when Lu Zheng had nothing to do, he would go to Qing Sheng Teahouse for morning tea, listen to storytelling for an hour or two, and sometimes even have lunch there.

"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded.

"You didn't know yesterday, but there was a murder at Qing Sheng Teahouse, and it's still sealed off for investigation," Old Man Liu said.

"Murder?" Lu Zheng asked in surprise.

"Murder!" Liu Qingquan's eyes widened. "I heard the shopkeeper's family was torn to pieces, and blood was splattered all over the place."

Lu Zheng's forehead was covered with black lines, "So bloody, why are you so excited?"

Liu Qingquan shrank her neck, "I'm just listening to something rare."

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, looking at Liu Qingquan ominously, "Aren't you afraid that the murderer will sneak into your house in the middle of the night..."

Liu Qingquan shrank directly behind her sister, "Not listening, not listening!"

"Lu-lang, don't scare people." Liu Qingyan gave Lu Zheng a reproachful look, and then Lu Zheng smiled and took out a lollipop.

Orange flavored!

"Then what will happen to Qing Sheng Teahouse?" Lu Zheng turned to Old Man Liu and asked.

"I don't know, the shopkeeper of Qing Sheng Teahouse is also a foreigner. Now that the family of four has been killed, there's not even a plaintiff to inherit the family property." Old Man Liu shook his head. "It will probably be confiscated and then see if anyone takes over."

Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, thought about it, and gave up.

Qing Sheng Teahouse has all kinds of people, which does not fit his low-key development route.

"It seems I can't go to Qing Sheng Teahouse, let's take a walk around Cong An Ward."

Liu Qingquan grabbed Liu Qingyan, "Sister, today is the market day, and we have nothing to do. Why don't we go to Cong An Ward with Brother Lu?"

Liu Qingyan looked at Lu Zheng, her Willow Leaf Eyes smiling, "Is it convenient for Lu-lang?"

"Of course, it's convenient!"

So, after accompanying Old Man Liu to the clinic, Lu Zheng took the Liu sisters south, and soon turned two street corners, arriving near Cong An Ward.

"Miss Liu, what do you do at home every day?" Lu Zheng asked.

The Great Jing Dynasty was, after all, ancient times, without so much entertainment. Not only were women not allowed into private schools, but most entertainment venues were also unsuitable for women.

So Lu Zheng was curious, for example, what did a lady like Liu Qingyan, who didn't have to go out to make a living, do every day? "Reading and writing, needlework and embroidery," Liu Qingyan replied.

"Uh, isn't it boring?"

Liu Qingyan covered her mouth and chuckled, "How can Lu Lang look down on us sisters? Aren't you always studying behind closed doors? Where do you find it boring?"

Lu Zheng: (||_) This is a huge misunderstanding...

Indeed, a young man like him, rich and idle, doesn't go to gambling dens or the Spring Breeze Pavilion. And since the Great Jing Dynasty doesn't have computers, what else would he do at home all day but study behind closed doors?

How should I explain this misunderstanding? "In books, there are houses of gold; in books, there are piles of millet; in books, there are..."

"There are what?" Liu Qingyan couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng, her beautiful eyes shining.

Lu Zheng laughed heartily, his eyes bright, "In books, there are beauties like jade!"

Liu Qingyan quickly averted her gaze, feeling her cheeks slightly warm, and quickly changed the subject, "Is Lu Lang interested in the imperial examinations?"

Lu Zheng shook his head, "The world is vast, and freedom is precious. Why confine oneself to a cage? I read only to broaden my knowledge and open my mind. If one reads with a purpose, that is a lower path."

"Lu Lang has a good heart." Liu Qingyan stole a glance at Lu Zheng, then quickly turned her head away.

Taking a deep breath to calm her mood, Liu Qingyan was about to say something when she heard Liu Qingquan calling from ahead, "Big Brother Lu, Sister, I want to eat candied hawthorns!"

Well, the atmosphere is completely gone!
