Chapter 14: Be Concerned for the Worries of the World before Others Are (Part 1)

  Sparse and bright crowds shuttled back and forth on both sides of the street, sunlight filtering through the tree shade onto the street, casting a dark green hue, pedestrians constantly walking over this tree shadow that seemed to be as vibrant as life itself, as if it were another microcosm of this chaotic world.

  Under the shade of a tree stood one of the few courtyards in Xuchang City, and the owner of this courtyard was written on the door plaque - "Cai Fu".

  At this moment, Cao Anmin and Zhou Jue were surrounded by a group of family members, walking towards the inner courtyard.

  "Big brother, this old man Cai Yong has called you here, what's it all about?" Zhou Yu asked the former while walking, with some doubt.

  Cao Anmin shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Cai Yong is a renowned scholar, how could he possibly know me? Moreover, I have never met this person before, it's really too strange."

  His belly was full of strange things, Cao Anmin said, but he still whispered to Zhou Yu beside him: "After entering, you must be honest with me, don't say anything wrong, this Cai Yong is different from ordinary people, and it's not easy to end if there is any mistake."

  Who would have thought that Zhou Yu heard this and suddenly smiled, saying in a low voice: "Don't worry, big brother, I hate talking to these corrupt Confucians the most, it's annoying."

  As soon as he glanced at his opponent, Cao Anmin had already unknowingly entered the inner courtyard.

  The family servant nodded in agreement with him and immediately shouted loudly.

  "Governor of Tian Nong, Lord Cao Xin has arrived for a special visit!"

  When he heard this, Cao Anmin was shocked on the spot, but he didn't expect that the Ding family would be so respectful in addressing him.

  It's worth noting that the Prime Minister is a seventh-grade official. Of course, he himself is a typical farmer-school lieutenant. But Cai Yong is a national scholar, and every day, no matter how big his official position is, he looks up to him with his nose in the air, as if he wants to be high-minded and pretentious, let alone someone like Cai Yong who is a master-level figure?

  No matter how hard Cao Xin thought about it, he still couldn't understand.

  Just as Cao Xin was deep in thought, someone suddenly walked out of the inner courtyard house, which shocked both Cao Xin and Zhou Yu.

  All that could be seen was a 16 or 17 year old girl, delicate and pretty, standing at the door with her hands on her hips, shouting in a coquettish voice. "Who is this rascal? What's all the commotion about? Isn't he just a farmer?"

  "Is it you?!"

  Upon seeing this person, Cao and An Min were both shocked. If it wasn't the little vixen from that day, then who was it?

  "Ah, it's you two good-for-nothings! It's been a while since we last met, and yet you dare to show up at my doorstep!" She suddenly placed her small hands on her chest, and the little girl couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

  However, at this moment, Cao Anmin saw the other party again, and caught a glimpse of the little girl wearing a set of female martial arts attire today. Although her hands were covering her chest, they couldn't hide her plump and tender breasts. Upon closer inspection, she still had a devilish figure, a loli with a petite build.

  Thinking so, Cao Anmin did show some interest in the former.

  "I said you little girl, when the Japanese old man let you off, I thought you would be more restrained, but unexpectedly you are still so arrogant, it's really embarrassing haha."

  Unable to withstand Cao Xin's teasing, the other party immediately blushed with anger and let out a loud shout again. Unbeknownst to them, a delicate silver gun had appeared in their hand. Before the other party could react, they suddenly charged forward, "You're looking for a fight!"

  At this moment, Cao Anmin suddenly pushed Zhou Yu away with a cold smile in his heart. He looked at the silver gun that had appeared out of nowhere in front of him without batting an eyelid, and didn't even notice the illusory gun flower in mid-air. His empty hands suddenly reached up to meet it.

  That little girl saw the trend and was delighted, thinking that the opponent was reckless and dared to catch her silver gun with his bare hands. She twisted her gun body again in mid-air, and instantly countless gun flowers flew out like rain. The latter's body also drew a beautiful line on the spot in an instant, and the elegant martial arts posture was like a fluttering dance.

  "Cheers!" A tender voice immediately followed.

  "Bang!"

  Just then, the family members were about to cheer for the young lady, but suddenly they saw Cao Anmin smile coldly, his left foot lightly tapping in front of him, and one hand came out to greet her, with an air of being completely fearless.

  Little girl! Playing with me, you still have a long way to go to Siberia.

  "Ding Dong!"

  As expected, Zhou Yu suddenly burst out laughing on the side, and a clear and crisp sound came at that moment. The silver spear suddenly broke open in mid-air for no reason, and with Cao Xin's loud shout, the silver spear flew even farther away.

  And that little girl simultaneously retreated several steps, as if she was shocked back by a fierce aura.

  However, looking at Cao Anmin again, he simply made a Bagua palm gesture with his hands in the air, and there was no change in the rest, plain and unremarkable.

  In an instant, victory and defeat were decided.

  What's even more surprising is that, compared to Cao Anmin's nonchalant attitude, the exquisite silver gun from before had fallen to the ground, broken into two pieces.

  This guy is incredibly fierce, but what kind of kung fu he's using is truly strange and abnormal.

  At the moment when the opponent was puzzled, Cao Xin couldn't help but sneer. To know that the basic routine of Tai Chi Fist, the basic pushing hand technique of borrowing force to strike, had been disdained by himself in his previous life since he was in his teens during martial arts competitions.

  At this moment, dealing with a little girl is more than enough.

  "You, return my gun." At this point, he stomped his foot, but unexpectedly, Cao Xin didn't know if the other person was angry because they lost at martial arts or just got angry, and suddenly started splashing water everywhere, shouting with a bright red face.

  "Was it you who attacked me first? This is just self-defense, your gun is broken and has nothing to do with me?" Cao Xin spread his hands and smiled innocently.

  "You, you... want a fight!" The little girl's face turned red again as she charged over once more.

  "That's enough, stop!"

  However, just at this moment, a loud shout interrupted the opponent's momentum.

  Cao Xin was also stunned at the moment, and as he looked into the distance, he saw a gentle and refined sixty-year-old man walking slowly towards him from the front gate. The old man's face was not very pleasant as he stared at the little girl.

  "Ting'er, you're being too presumptuous towards School Master."

  "Hmph." He stopped in his tracks, glared at Cao Xin with a fierce gaze, and then quickly ran to the old man's side. With a hint of resentment in his tone, he said: "What's so great about being a county lieutenant who tills the land? Even if he were a high-ranking official in the state or province, what would that matter? Cao Cao still shows respect to my father!"

  "Shut up! Don't be rude!" The old man scolded with a displeased face.

  However, at this moment, the old man couldn't help but walk closer and bowed, smiling: "The arrival of the Governor of the Imperial Farm is truly an honor that makes me feel ashamed."

  Suddenly seeing the other party bowing to himself, Cao Xin suddenly realized the other's identity, and hastily cupped his hands, saying: "I dare not, I dare not, Cao Xin would never dare to be so presumptuous, please sir, you mustn't bestow such a great honor."

  Actually, that little girl just said something right. Someone like Cai Yong, even Cao Cao would have to show some respect, you know, Cai Yong, Zheng Xuan and Sima Wei are known as the three great masters of Confucian classics, they are called the three absolutes by people, such a figure, Cao Zhi wouldn't believe that the other party actually knows him even if he cracks his brain.

  "Haha, Lord Cao Xin, as the nephew of Duke Cao, is still humble and courteous. Today's meeting proves that his reputation is well-deserved."

  Is the name fake? What name?

  Cao Xin was momentarily stunned, but suddenly thought of something again.

  Is it the reputation of Yanzhou A Xin's cry of desperation? This old man won't be scolding me, will he? Is he taking revenge for this little girl?

  At this time, Cao Xin was lost in thought with a awkward face, but suddenly heard the following words slowly spoken from Cai Yong's mouth.

  "The whole garden is full of chrysanthemums and yellow Osmanthus fragrans"

  In the midst of solitude, there is a cluster of colors like frost.

  Still like this morning's banquet with wine and music

  An old man enters a young people's circle.

  At this point, Cao Xin suddenly woke up with a start, but it was a face full of incredulity on the spot. Seeing that the other party was also smiling at himself, he couldn't help but scold himself for being too talkative. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.

  Bai Juyi, I was wrong! I'm not human, I should die!! Please forgive this shameless and dull person!!!
