Return to the City: The Strongest King

Zheng Shuo’e did not know Song Xiaodong’s background. If she knew Song Xiaodong’s background, she would be terrified that he was consulting and explaining things to her like this.

But Song Xiaodong simply wanted to find a good apprentice, so he did not want to use his status to pressure Zheng Shuo’e.

The three of them found a hotel, booked a private room, and after sitting down, Lu Yaobing provocatively sat next to Song Xiaodong, teasingly asking in a slightly sweet voice, "Master, what do you want to eat?"

Song Xiaodong glared at Lu Yaobing and said, "Don’t mess around, I’m here to resolve issues with your mother, not to watch you bicker with her."

Lu Yaobing stuck her tongue out and said, "I know."

Zheng Shuo’e suddenly frowned. No matter how wrong her daughter was, she could always criticize her herself, but couldn’t tolerate someone else doing it. The most infuriating thing was that Lu Yaobing obediently listened to Song Xiaodong, even more so than to her.

But it was undeniable that Song Xiaodong’s attitude somehow made Zheng Shuo’e feel that at least he had no intention to fool Lu Yaobing.

Song Xiaodong then said, "Sorry, Madam Zheng. It must be especially uncomfortable for you to hear me scold her in front of you as her mother."

Embarrassed by his words, Zheng Shuo’e responded, "It’s okay, you are Yaobing’s teacher. She did something wrong; it’s right for you to scold her. I know you want what’s best for her."

Song Xiaodong smiled gently and said, "It’s best if you think that way. Since she is a rare good student, I will surely set strict standards for her, not only in terms of medical skills but also in terms of moral character. No matter what, I won’t let my only disciple stray from the right path."
