93: Advance to the Dragon Subduing Post
In just two months, the gap was so vast it was despair-inducing.
Shi Tiezhu still clearly remembered:
Two months ago, they practiced together at Mantis Martial Hall.
Then... Chu Qing would get tired after three to five repetitions and go rest.
While he, Shi Tiezhu, cultivated diligently, sweating profusely.
Later, Chu Qing ate toad meat.
And he, Shi Tiezhu, ate braised pork.
After that, he rarely saw Chu Qing.
He signed a contract with Zhao Hongxiu, took Secret medicine, and entered the Martial Institute.
He thought he would soar to the sky.
But... he did take off.
However, Chu Qing flew even higher.
Now, the high and mighty Sister Lan, his Senior Sister Zhao Hongxiu, both had to serve as attendants for Chu Qing.
What is an attendant?
Just an Advanced servant.
Perhaps even an Advanced bed-warming maid.
At this moment:
Shi Tiezhu was filled with mixed emotions.
"Will Chu Qing bully Senior Sister?"
"Will Senior Sister... agree?"
"How will I face Senior Sister in the future?"
Shi Tiezhu had a myriad of thoughts and countless ideas about Senior Sister.
The boy's nascent love, at this moment, seemed to be defiled...Stone Tower, second floor:
The maids happily directed the servants to arrange furniture.
Study:
Chu Qing leaned against the desk, staring at Zhao Hongxiu and Sister Lan.
He was quite surprised when he saw Sister Lan.
Because he hadn't expected Sister Lan to be Lan Yichen's younger sister.
He still remembered Sister Lan being as arrogant as a peacock, never once looking at him directly.
Now... she was meek and submissive.
"Senior Sister, from now on, you will work for me. I will not deduct your daily basic resources."
"However, you must be serious and diligent in your work!"
Zhao Hongxiu smiled and said, "Qing Ge'er, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job."
She adjusted her mindset quite quickly.
Although Chu Qing was inferior to her before, what did that matter now?
If she could be a younger sister to Sister Lan, why couldn't she work for Chu Qing?
Moreover, Sister Lan was not even as good as Chu Qing.
She had almost witnessed Chu Qing's rise step by step to his current position.
"Qing Ge'er, I currently have one hundred and fifty Iron Tendons. If possible, I'd like to first Cultivate three hundred and sixty-five Iron Tendons."
"Then my abilities will be greater, and I'll be able to do more things."
Chu Qing nodded and said, "No problem."
Then, he looked at Sister Lan, remaining silent for a long time.
Sister Lan was silent for a moment, then softly said, "Greetings, Master Qing!"
Chu Qing smiled.
This Sister Lan had accepted her fate.
Very good!
"You can call me Young Master or Qing Ge from now on."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Sister Lan resigned herself.
She knew that the gap between herself and Chu Qing was now immense.
Zhao Hongxiu could call Chu Qing Qing Ge'er, but she absolutely could not.
Calling him Young Master was already considered overstepping.
Fortunately, Chu Qing didn't mind.
"Work hard from now on, and listen more to my Senior Sister's suggestions."
Sister Lan sighed inwardly and nodded.
Zhao Hongxiu was happy.
This past month, Sister Lan had been running her and Shi Tiezhu ragged, and even deducted her resources.
Now... Chu Qing was clearly letting her take charge.
The tables had turned.
It was her turn to run Sister Lan ragged.
At this moment, Sister Lan felt even more bitter.
But, thinking of the daily resources, she decided to endure it.
"At least I'm higher in status than those two maids!"
At this time:
The oval-faced maid led a new maid over.
This maid was tall, around one hundred and seventy-eight centimeters; her face was beautiful, but she was very cold.
However, she bowed respectfully upon meeting.
As she walked, her skirt swayed, faintly revealing her long legs.
Nine-head body!
Chu Qing thought of some terms from his previous life.
"Come here!"
The cold maid immediately came over and said coldly, "Young Master!"
Chu Qing nodded and said, "Not bad!"
The cold maid was secretly pleased.
Everyone in the entire Martial Institute wanted to follow Chu Qing.
Her presence here was a great stroke of luck.
Looking at this cold maid, Chu Qing thought of Madam Shi.
He said to the oval-faced maid, "Take her and teach her the characteristics of various Secret medicines, golden incense, and ointments!"
"There will be an assessment later!"
The oval-faced maid smiled and said, "Yes!"
After arranging the maids, Chu Qing looked at Zhao Hongxiu and Sister Lan again.
He pondered for a moment and said,
"The two of you will take turns supervising the Quarry, urging the Quarry workers to work; prevent anyone from stealing my bright pearls."
"There will be an assessment every ten days. Those who perform well will receive additional resources from me."
Zhao Hongxiu happily said, "Qing Ge'er, don't worry, no one will take your bright pearls."
Sister Lan nodded vigorously and said, "Young Master, I will work hard."
This Young Miss also adjusted her mindset very quickly.
She had already gotten into character.
Chu Qing was satisfied.
"At the end of the month, if you perform well, I can help you obtain a Cultivation Technique."
"Whether it's hand-to-hand combat or weapons."
"As long as you perform well, I will take care of it for you."
The two women were even more delighted and thanked him repeatedly.
Zhao Hongxiu even patted her chest, guaranteeing that she would handle things perfectly.
Chu Qing waved his hand, and the two women returned to their suites.
As attendants, they also had to live here, to be convenient for Chu Qing to summon them at any time...time flies, several days passed in a flash:
The investigation into Xiao Long's Anomaly was progressing slowly.
The Vice Dean had not yet found any results, and the investigations by Cui Moyang and others were also at a standstill.
Fortunately, Chu Qing was not in a hurry.
He could wait patiently.
Through Cui Moyang, Zhao Hongxiu, and others, he also learned that:
Shiji County was in a bad situation now.
Some rebels were appearing around the county town, even in Shiji Mountain and within the county town.
Qingshui County, a hundred li away, had even been raided by rebels once.
Inside the Martial Institute, the atmosphere also began to become tense.
Some older students began to carry out missions against the rebels.
The Vice Dean even specifically visited Chu Qing, saying that in a few days, their batch of new students would also have to carry out missions.
Chu Qing was well-prepared for this, so he was not flustered.
It is worth mentioning that:
Ever since Sister Lan became a maid, when she discovered that Chu Qing was secretly hiding an Inner Courtyard woman, her mindset underwent a huge change.
She even began to intentionally or unintentionally snatch the maids' work, wanting to serve Chu Qing in bathing and changing.
She also proactively helped Chu Qing secretly make bright pearls.
The maids grew anxious.
If you, an attendant, do all our work, what will we do? Will Young Master still need us?
So... both sides engaged in open and covert struggles.
In contrast, Zhao Hongxiu only focused on her work and never tried to curry favor with Chu Qing.
With the support of abundant resources, her progress was quite fast.
She could Cultivate almost two Iron Tendons a day.
Chu Qing was aware of this, but he didn't care at all.
Among the three maids, his favorite was the one with cold eyes.
Her temperament was similar to Madam Shi's...Since the last incident, Chu Qing had not left his door.
This day:
"Soon, today I will achieve Perfection in Subduing Dragon Post, and then I can go out."
The kicking repetitions for Subduing Dragon Post were completed.
Now, only one hundred golden incense remained.
In the afternoon:
He began to go into seclusion.
One hundred golden incense were lit.
He consumed the fragrant smoke.
The profession panel flickered:
[You have completed the second condition for Subduing Dragon Post!]
[Subduing Dragon Post Perfection — Daily Thousand Refinements, Daily Secret medicine, Ten Years to Break Limits]
[Promotion Conditions — 1: Ten bright pearls, 2: One hundred general Secret medicine, 3: One hundred Dragon Subduing Enemy kills.]
