Chapter 1117: Chapter 1118: Teaching the Disciple

If Lu Yaobing announced herself as Song Xiaodong’s disciple, it would already earn her the admiration of everyone present. But when they realized that the man with Song Xiaodong was indeed Song Xiaodong, everyone harbored a sense of awe toward Lu Yaobing.

The reason is simple; in the tales of these prominent families, Song Xiaodong is known as a man fond of flirting and womanizing. However, one thing everyone knows for sure about him is how protective he is of his women. They are not just playthings to be discarded carelessly. Any woman who has been with him now lives directly in the Su Family estate and is recognized as Madame Patriarch.

Lu Yaobing may now be announcing her identity as Song Xiaodong’s disciple, but appearing in this manner with him, it’s almost certain she has become his woman. Anyone hoping to pursue Lu Yaobing would be courting death.

People like Chen Xuedong who had ideas about Lu Yaobing naturally felt a jolt of terror. But other people were not at such a disadvantage. Respect is one thing, as long as no one provokes Lu Yaobing, that’s all there is to it. In addition, befriending Lu Yaobing would be a good way to build ties with the Su Family.

Thus, after Song Xiaodong went into the side room, many young people enthusiastically approached Lu Yaobing to greet her, and she quickly became the focal figure in the hall.

Though in school Lu Yaobing was also treated with adoration, the feeling now was totally different. Everyone here, if in school, would have been more prominent figures than she was. Yet now, each one of them was trying to cozy up to her, curry favor with her, making her feel quite surreal.

She couldn’t help but feel a bit constricted. However, thinking that if she was too reserved, she would embarrass Song Xiaodong, she forced herself to socialize with everyone. In the end, she managed to cope with it calmly, as no one here dared to make things difficult for her.

Around nine o’clock, Song Xiaodong emerged from the side room, taking Lu Yaobing away, while the young people present politely bade farewell to him one-by-one.

Sitting in Song Xiaodong’s car, Lu Yaobing still felt somewhat dazed. Song Xiaodong laughed, “What’s wrong? Don’t like this kind of occasion?”

“I wouldn’t say I like it or dislike it. I just feel so overwhelmed. Look at all these business cards. Their families are either extremely wealthy or hold high official positions. Every single one of them was someone I used to look up to, and now they’re all flattering me, paying attention to my expressions as they speak. This feeling…really makes me feel quite surreal.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled, “That’s normal.”

“Normal… Master, I know this is all because of you. My God, I’m just your disciple, and they treat me like this. I truly wonder how they might react when directly facing you,” she pondered.

“Didn’t they see me today?”

Lu Yaobing chattered, “They saw you, but they didn’t talk to you. Then you went inside with those people. I’ve heard that they’re all big bosses and high-ranking officials, elders of those outside.”

Song Xiaodong chuckled lightly, “That’s why I don’t like participating in such events. With older people, I don’t feel like chatting. And being with the younger ones, they all fear me.”

Lu Yaobing stuck out her tongue, “Master, your status is way too impressive. Just how powerful is the Su Family?”

Song Xiaodong smiled faintly, “The Su Family is the leading family in Ningjian Province. No one dares to provoke us. Whether they’re high officials or wealthy individuals, the Su Family can crush them all. But we have always been fair in our actions; we don’t bully people without reason. As my disciple, you need to carry this level of dignity, so you won’t be looked down upon but also must avoid bullying others.”

Lu Yaobing touched her cheek, saying, “Master, I’m only now realizing that by becoming your disciple, I’ve latched onto the most substantial backing.”

Song Xiaodong laughed heartily, “That depends on your performance. If you perform poorly, I’ll kick you out and not let you cling to me.”

“I will definitely perform well. Besides, disciples who are this well-behaved, the Master would surely not bear to drive me away.”

Throughout the journey, Lu Yaobing seemed extremely excited, and it wasn’t until they reached the hotel that she returned to normal.

Once the excitement had passed, Lu Yaobing felt something amiss. No one mentioned opening another room, so didn’t that mean she would be sharing a room with Song Xiaodong tonight?

This made Lu Yaobing feel both nervous and excited, though she seemed to understand why she was nervous and excited while also being slightly confused.

Song Xiaodong, on the other hand, casually sat down on the sofa, saying, “Come on, tell me about the problems you’ve encountered recently.”

Lu Yaobing promptly set aside her scattered thoughts and obediently sat beside Song Xiaodong, recounting the issues she had been facing with True Qi in detail.

These issues, to Song Xiaodong, were rather elementary problems, so he resolved them effortlessly.

“Master, there’s one more question I don’t understand.” Lu Yaobing suddenly seemed a bit shy.

Song Xiaodong responded casually, “Oh, what is it? Feel free to ask.”

“Well… it’s like this. Recently, during my menstrual period…” Lu Yaobing’s face reddened, but seeing Song Xiaodong’s calm expression, she summoned the courage to continue, “when I circulated True Qi, I felt a swelling pain in my lower abdomen and a tearing sensation along some meridians below my Dantian.”

“Oh? That’s happening?” Song Xiaodong furrowed his brow.

“Yes, precisely, the pain was really uncomfortable.”

Song Xiaodong asked, “Why didn’t you tell me at the time?”

Lu Yaobing shyly replied, “Well…it’s a girl’s private matter, so I felt embarrassed to mention it then. But after talking so much with Master today, I suddenly felt it must be an issue on my part, so I brought it up.”

“That’s true; as a male master, it’s slightly inconvenient to discuss such matters. But this is indeed quite peculiar; I hadn’t encountered something like this before.” Song Xiaodong pondered, feeling a bit baffled, as it seemed illogical for such occurrences.

“You don’t usually feel like this?” Song Xiaodong asked again.

“Usually…I sort of do, but very faintly, so I didn’t pay much attention.”

“Try it now. Let me observe where the problem lies.”

“Okay,” Lu Yaobing agreed readily.

“Oh, hold on…” Yet Song Xiaodong’s face suddenly turned somewhat awkward.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Lu Yaobing looked puzzled, as she had never seen this expression on Song Xiaodong before.
