Mei Xianzhang was reading and practicing calligraphy in the yard. Her schedule is very tight now. She reads and practices calligraphy in the first half of the day and in the afternoon, and then starts practicing Taoism after dinner.

It is much more fulfilling than the days before when I didn’t know what to do after eating, but the past cannot be compared with now.

In the past, every time she went to Qingxia Temple to ask for the Kuixing Inkstone, she would have to recuperate for several days after returning, and sometimes the injuries were so severe that she didn’t even have the strength to cook.

Her biggest advantage is that she is very lucky. An injury that would kill other children ten times would heal her automatically in just ten days or half a month.

Mei Xianzhang is reading "The Analects of Confucius". Although it looks difficult, she is reading it very seriously.

"Is anyone there?" At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from outside the yard. Mei Xianzhang, who was disturbed, frowned and looked up, his eyes suddenly turned cold.

It turned out to be Shao Laizi, and he was not alone. There were several vicious-looking scoundrels following him.

Mei Xianzhang closed the book and shouted outside the yard, "He's not here!"

Shao Laizi glanced around the yard with his glasses on. When he saw Mei Xianzhang, he couldn't help but smile. "Oh, it's you, little girl. Haven't seen you for a few days? How come you've become prettier?"

A scoundrel behind Shao Laizi said, "This girl has a good foundation. If she is sent to Qingxia Temple to be trained from a young age, she will definitely be able to attract customers when she grows up."

A few people looked at Mei Xianzhang and became interested. Shao Laizi kicked open the small door in the fence and walked in with those scoundrels.

"Hey, little girl, where is your relative?" Shao Laizi asked.

Mei Xianzhang said, "What relatives? I don't have any relatives."

"Don't play dumb." Shao Laizi pointed at the Third Prince in the nearby stable and said viciously, "The horses are all here, how could the owner not be here?"

Mei Xianzhang glanced at the Third Prince, then suddenly realized, "Oh, that's not my relative, that's my father."

"Hehe." Shao Laizi sneered, "Little girl, you still know how to recognize your father? Your biological father just died and you recognized a new father? Otherwise... why don't you call me daddy too?"

Mei Xianzhang looked at Shao Laizi coldly and said, "Shao Laizi, what on earth do you want to do? If you have nothing else to do, get out."

"Haha, go away? I'm not going away. I'm here to ask your father for medical expenses. Last time, your father's horse kicked me, and the injury hasn't healed yet. The doctor said it was an internal injury, and it will cost another 1,000 taels of silver to cure it. Hurry up and call your father out!" Shao Laizi said.

Mei Xianzhang looked at Shao Laizi and said, "A gentleman is concerned with righteousness, while a villain is concerned with profit. You are truly a hopeless villain! People like you deserve to die of illness. Why do you need money or treatment for your illness?"

Mei Xianzhang then put into use the "Analects of Confucius" that she had just learned. Well, this felt very good, as if she was standing on the moral high ground.

Shao Laizi was slightly stunned, then he grinned at Mei Xianzhang and said, "You little bastard, you're still acting like your damn father. Do you fucking believe I'll sell you to a brothel?"

Mei Xianzhang snorted coldly, his face stoic and fearless. He looked coldly at Shao Laizi and the rogues behind him and said, "They appear fierce but are weak inside. They are just like thieves who break into houses!"

"What do you mean?" Shao Laizi turned around and asked the scoundrels.

Those scoundrels also shook their heads blankly, indicating that they didn't understand.

Mei Xianzhang said, "This sentence means that you villains appear stern on the outside but are weak on the inside, just like thieves digging holes in the wall."

"Damn it!" Shao Laizi and others were immediately furious after hearing Mei Xianzhang's explanation.

"Since her father is not at home, take her away and ask her father to redeem her for 1,000 taels of silver." A scoundrel suggested.

Upon hearing this, Shao Laizi thought this was a good idea and immediately said, "Okay, let's do it."

After that, a group of people surrounded Mei Xianzhang. Mei Xianzhang took a step back, put her right hand behind her back, and with a flash of light, the Su Huan Needle appeared in her hand.

However, at this moment, a breeze suddenly blew into the courtyard, raising a cloud of dust. The flying dust caught the eyes of Mei Xianzhang, Shao Laizi and others.

When Mei Xianzhang, Shao Laizi and others opened their eyes again, they saw a tall figure appear in front of them.

When Shao Laizi and others saw the figure in front of them, they were stunned. This was a very unfamiliar person, but he looked to be more than nine feet (about 2 meters) tall. This person had his hair tied up and his clothes were on the right side. He had a square face, big ears that hung down to his shoulders, long arms, a broad back and strong arms, and was extremely strong.

Anyone who sees such a person would be scared, let alone ruffians like Shao Laizi.

"You...who are you?" Shao Laizi asked after swallowing.

The man didn't answer, but turned around, bent down, reached out and patted Mei Xianzhang's shoulder gently.

But this "light" pat made Mei Xianzhang grimace, and for a moment he felt as if his shoulder was about to break.

The man patted Mei Xianzhang, glanced at the Analects on the table beside him, and then raised a finger to Mei Xianzhang and said, "Little kid, this is not how you learn the Analects. Watch carefully, I will only teach you once."

After saying that, the man turned around, stretched out his strong right hand, grabbed Shao Laizi's left leg, and then lifted Shao Laizi upside down like a chicken.

Shao Laizi screamed and struggled with his hands, but the man simply grabbed Shao Laizi's left leg and swung him around with his arms.

The man grabbed Shao Laizi and swung him through the air like a windmill. Then he turned to the stunned Mei Xianzhang and said, "The first step in learning the Analects is to 'swing' someone you dislike. Now you can 'talk' to him. It doesn't matter whether he understands or not, but after the swing, he will definitely approve of you."
