Chapter 269: Jiushan Sect’s New Favorite

Jingzhou City.

"Shan'er," Zheng's mother called out, "Come here quickly, your brother has another letter!"

In the yard, Zheng Fa's younger sister Zheng Shan ran out.

"Miss." Huang Yu stood at the door, looking at her with a smile, "Have you finished the homework assigned by the master?"

“…”

Zheng Shan looked at the sky outside the door with a reluctant look, as if saying goodbye to her own happiness. She lowered her head and walked slowly into the yard.

Zheng Fa had been away from Jingzhou City for nearly two years, and Zheng Shan was almost eight years old. She was now a head taller than before, but her face was chubby, which showed that the food was good and she was not hungry.

"Why are you running? Write back to your brother later and send him the homework he left in the last letter."

“…”

Zheng Shan curled her lips and looked at the thick envelope in her mother's hand with despair in her eyes.

When her brother first left, she was very reluctant to let him go...she cried for half a month.

I guess my brother missed them too, as he wrote to me less than a month after leaving home. The letter was first given to Mrs. Zhao, who then gave it to my mother.

When she first received Zheng Fa's letter, she was also happy...

But her happiness didn't last long.

In the letter, her brother assigned her a special test paper and told her to attach the answers to him when she replied next time.

She cried for another half a month...

From then on, she began what her brother called a correspondence course.

I never looked forward to hearing from my brother again.

"The letter is very thin this time."

Perhaps knowing her resistance, Zheng's mother smiled and said, "Madam said that she also received your brother's letter. Come, read it to me."

Zheng Shan took the letter from her mother, opened it, read it silently, and suddenly said, "Mom, my brother said he would take us to Jiushan Sect!"

"Ah?" Zheng's mother was delighted and asked quickly, "Did your brother ask? To pick us up?"

Zheng Shan nodded and said, "They said that someone from the Jiushan Sect will come to pick us up soon."

"Don't make a mistake, read it from beginning to end!"

Mother Zheng said a little excitedly.

Zheng Shan repeated her belief again, and Zheng's mother finally believed it completely, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

Mother Zheng counted on her fingers and suddenly said, "Your brother has been gone for 553 days..."

Zheng Shan was stunned. She didn't expect her mother to remember it so clearly.

"I finally get to see your brother. I don't know if he has lost weight or how he is doing in Jiushan Sect..."

Listening to her mother's muttering, Zheng Shan's expression changed. She put the letter down and ran out the door.

"Where are you going?"

"Let's go to school!" Zheng Shan ran very fast without even looking back: "My brother will definitely test me when he sees me!"

“…”

The Zhao family was not short of money, the school was large and had many students.

Because Zheng Shan is a girl and still young, she only needs to go to class in the early morning.

If you are an older student, there are also classes in the afternoon.

When she ran to the school at this time, she attracted quite a bit of attention - boys and girls learned different things in the Zhao Mansion School, and there were also etiquette constraints, so they were generally taught separately.

So Zheng Shan’s classmates are all girls.

Seeing Zheng Shan coming, several older girls looked at her with a bit of rejection in their eyes.

Zheng Shan didn't care about their looks. Instead, she took out her math book, circled the questions she had gotten wrong, and then walked towards the math teacher's study.

As she passed by the girls, she heard a soft snort.

Zheng Shan has long been accustomed to it——

As soon as she arrived at the school, she felt that these girls were subtly excluding her.

At first, she didn't quite understand it. Later, the housekeeper Huang Yu found out that these people were the concubine's daughters of the Zhao family's patriarch, and they used to have a bad relationship with the Seventh Young Master.

And since his brother was on good terms with the Seventh Young Master, he was naturally viewed with hostility by them.

At first, Zheng Shan was a little worried about being bullied.

Later, I found out that this group of people only dared to say weird things, especially after Mrs. Zhao invited her mother to the Zhao Mansion for tea every month, they didn't even dare to say anything, they could only hum...

I read and study every day in order to finish my brother's homework.

They also secretly scolded me for trying to please my husband and to impress others.

She felt very wronged...

If she dared not to pay attention to her homework, not only her mother, but also the wife of the Zhao family would ask the teacher a few questions...

Who can stand this? To be honest, if she wasn't busy on weekdays, she might still care about these people.

But she really doesn't have time...

…

After coming out of the teacher's room, Zheng Shan saw that there were many more people in the academy.

All the students and teachers in the academy came out.

They gathered together, lowered their heads, and were respectful and silent.

Zheng Shan was stunned, and looked forward, she was even more surprised:

All the masters of the Zhao Mansion have come.

Mrs. Zhao was in the front, accompanied by a pale-faced man—perhaps the head of the Zhao family? Zheng Shan had never seen him go out.

Behind them were the masters of the second and third rooms, whom Zheng Shan had seen occasionally.

Standing in front of Mrs. Zhao was a middle-aged man with a dignified face.

Zheng Shan also knew this man. He was the county governor in charge of the area within a thousand miles around Jingzhou City, and he seemed to be a disciple of the Immortal Sect.

The biggest master in Jingzhou City!

Could it be that the county magistrate came to the Zhao family, so the masters of the Zhao family were here to welcome him?

This is possible...

But Zheng Shan quickly denied this answer.

The county magistrate also lowered his head, as if he did not dare to look ahead, and he looked extremely humble.

In front of her stood a woman with a serious face, who seemed like she never smiled.

The woman’s face was actually very beautiful, but the expression on her face and the look in her eyes made it difficult to comment on her beauty.

"Master, you are so honored to be here. I have prepared some simple food..."

Zheng Shan heard the county magistrate speak in a tone full of flattery and enthusiasm.

"No need, I'm from the Jiushan Sect, and you're from the Baixian League..."

The county magistrate's face froze, but he didn't dare to say anything else.

However, others could tell that this woman was not easy to please and seemed to have a very high status, so they did not dare to look up.

The county magistrate made a few other suggestions.

They are all flattering words.

But the woman not only didn't buy it, after a while she even showed some impatience on her face, which made the county magistrate dare not say a word.

The others held their breath and even breathed quietly.

Zheng Shan was smart, so she could tell that this woman was a person of very high status and did not look very kind.

After my brother left, my mother repeatedly warned me not to cause trouble outside.

I don't want to move forward at this moment.

She held the book, lowered her head, and quietly walked around the crowd, trying to leave without attracting attention.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But after taking only two steps, Zheng Shan felt a lot of eyes falling on her. Her body stiffened and she looked up, and found that the big shot was staring at her with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The girls who didn't get along with her looked at her sideways, with a hint of gloating smile on their faces, as if they also felt that she was in trouble.

"Your last name is Zheng?"

The woman suddenly spoke.

"yes……"

Zheng Shan was stunned for a moment, then guessed something in her mind and came back to her senses and responded.

The woman, who had never smiled no matter how the county magistrate tried to please her, suddenly smiled gently.

Everyone listened to her soft voice: "My last name is Huang, your brother's uncle, I'm here to pick you up."

The courtyard of the study was silent, and everyone's eyes were on Zheng Shan. Their expressions were complicated, which the young Zheng Shan could not understand.

The county magistrate looked Zheng Shan up and down, and his expression seemed to be a little afraid of him? Uncle Huang walked up to Zheng Shan, looked at the book in her hand, twitched his mouth, and said as if he had thought of something: "Your brother is a man who doesn't know the evil of human nature. He left you and your mother here... Have you suffered any injustice in the past two years? I'll make the decision for you!"

When she said this, her tone was a little cold.

The county magistrate, along with the entire Zhao family, all looked pale.

Zheng Shan looked at the girls, only to see that they all lowered their heads and hid behind others.

"No matter who wrongs me, can the real person help me?"

Zheng Shan thought for a long time and then spoke.

The head of the Zhao family in the crowd trembled all over and seemed to be unable to stand steadily.

Uncle Huang looked at them and nodded with a cold face.

“My brother!”

"Um?"

"My Lord, you are my brother's uncle, can you please ask my brother to stop testing me..." Zheng Shan held up the math textbook in her hand and said with a sad face, "I can't finish learning..."

“…”

"Except your brother..."

Uncle Huang was silent for a while, then he remembered the news from Jiushan Sect and said, "Everyone in Jiushan Sect is about to be ruined by your brother..."

“I can’t help it…”

“…”

…

Uncle Huang held Zheng Shan's hand and led a large group to meet up with the disciples led by Uncle Pang.

Uncle Pang accepted several thousand disciples.

She also brought tens of thousands of people who were related to the Jiushan Sect.

"Junior Sister Huang!"

Uncle Pang glanced at her, then fixed his eyes on Zheng Shan's face, his eyes a little excited.

"What did you call me?"

Uncle Huang raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile.

"...Senior Sister Huang! This is..."

"Zheng Fa's sister."

Uncle Huang pointed at Uncle Pang and said to Zheng Shan, "This is also your brother's uncle. Well, he's a sly guy, but he's good to his disciples."

It seemed that because of the call of "Senior Sister", Uncle Huang praised Uncle Pang a few times.

Uncle Pang looked somewhat grateful as he looked at the confused Zheng Shan.

He rummaged in his arms, took out a crystal clear gem, and handed it to Zheng Shan with a smile.

Zheng Shan looked up at Uncle Pang, whose face was filled with smiles, and felt at a loss as to what to do.

"It's a meeting gift, not worth much." Uncle Pang said with a smile, "Take it and play with it."

The Jiushan Sect disciple behind him twitched his lips.

The gaze towards the orb was extremely intense.

This thing is a magical weapon!

It is also a treasure that can stabilize the mind and help people practice.

In the market town, it’s the kind that can’t be bought with just 300 spirit stones!

Zheng Shan looked at Uncle Huang, and Uncle Huang nodded at her.

She took the pearl and thanked Uncle Pang obediently.

…

"Although this child does not have a Taoist body, he has a single wood spiritual root and good aptitude."

Looking at Zheng Shan who was playing with the pearl, Uncle Huang transmitted the message.

"And I asked her on the way. Zheng Fa has been teaching her for the past two years. She has laid a very good foundation..."

As Master Pang listened, the corners of his mouth curled up, as if he couldn't help laughing.

"If it weren't for Wu Yi, this child would never have been given to you..."

"Sister!" Uncle Pang said, "In the future, when we become the third Yuanying of the Jiushan Sect, you will be the eldest sister!"

"What about the headmaster?"

"How can that person who steals disciples compare with you who gives and receives disciples? Pah!"

“…”
