Chen Sheng walked step by step towards the door.
The gaze of the disciples from the martial arts hall fell on him, one after another.
Pity, indifference, gloating, disgust, all kinds of emotions were present.
The only thing missing was the eager look from that morning when Chen Sheng showed off his Light Energy prowess.
Feeling all the emotions, Chen Sheng took a deep breath.
He turned his head, looking for Shi Jian’s figure.
These two days in the martial arts hall, Shi Jian had given him a lot of guidance.
At the very least, he ought to say goodbye before leaving.
However, as Chen Sheng’s gaze swept over the entire martial arts hall, he couldn’t find Shi Jian.
Where the hell did this guy go?
Chen Sheng was puzzled, but decided not to dwell on it.
He picked up the weighted gear from the ground. When he arrived in front of the martial arts hall, Chen Sheng pushed the door open and stepped out.
“Brother Chen, what took you so long?” As soon as he came out,
A familiar shadow enveloped him from above.
Chen Sheng looked up in surprise.
It was Shi Jian.
“Stone, what the hell are you doing here?”
“What else could it be? I’m leaving with you, of course.”
Shi Jian said, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.
“Our relationship…shouldn’t have reached this point, right?”
Chen Sheng was confused. “Well, it’s not all because of you, Brother Chen.”
“Anyway, let’s just go.”
Shi Jian wrapped his arm around Chen Sheng, and together they walked away.
As they walked,
Shi Jian revealed the reason why he had decided to leave with him.
“Chen Sheng, you see, I’ve always been pretty useless in everything, except for having a big physique that scares people.”
“I have a very straightforward temper as well. After I dropped out of school and started working, I often had conflicts with people.”
“I used to think my life was a waste.”
“But guess what? I found out that my martial arts talent is actually not that bad.”
As he spoke, Shi Jian made a funny face.
Chen Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, and his unhappiness slowly dissipated.
“Then I joined the martial arts hall and hung out here for two or three years.
Half a year ago, I naturally awakened as a Qi Sensor.”
“I thought that sooner or later I would become a direct disciple, and by then I could be personally instructed by the Grand Master himself and have better resources to do whatever I wanted.’
“But today, when I saw them slandering you, Brother Chen, I just thought it was boring.”
“It’s really boring, actually.”
“So I just walked out while you guys were arguing and waited for you.”
Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng gave him a surprised look. “How come you’re so sure I was being slandered?”
“Aren’t you?”
“I am.”
“There you go.”
Shi Jian grinned.
“Brother Chen, you just came here two days ago, so you might not know.”
“The Grand Master has a very bad temper, otherwise, who do you think Li Qian learned it from?”
“If you were really trying to steal the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound technique, as he said, he would’ve slapped you already.” Upon hearing this,
Chen Sheng was momentarily startled.
Then,
An expression of realization flashed across his face.
So as it turns out, Li Xingwu was just pretending back then.
Simply because he didn’t want to accept Chen Sheng as his direct disciple.
Now, why was that?
Chen Sheng suddenly thought about the so-called “resources” he had heard from others a few times.
Neither Guo Yang nor Li Qian seemed to be worried about others becoming direct disciples, competing for resources.
It must be related to these so-called resources.
In Li Xingwu’s eyes, Chen Sheng was indeed qualified to become a direct disciple, but he simply didn’t want to accept him. So he found an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away.
After a little thought,
Chen Sheng roughly grasped Li Xingwu’s intentions.
People just didn’t take him seriously.
Wu Ran had a demonic talent.
Guo Yang had been following Li Xingwu for ten years, considering each other as father and child.
Li Qian was his niece.
If he took in Chen Sheng, the resources allocated to these three would be even less.
Better to find an excuse to drive Chen Sheng away.
Upon realizing the reason, Chen Sheng couldn’t help but feel a bit melancholic.
As expected, no matter where there are people, there will always be such tedious matters.
It’s more comfortable to cultivate on your own.
Thinking this,
Chen Sheng looked at Shi Jian again.
“Speaking of which, Stone, aren’t you going to tell the Grand Master before you leave?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian shook his head vigorously like a rattle-drum.
“I’ll send the Grand Master a WeChat message later tonight and let him know, then come back tomorrow.”
“If I tell him now, I’m afraid he’ll hit me.”
“That works too.”
Chen Sheng nodded.
And so, the two of them left the martial arts hall and took out their phones to add each other on WeChat.
“Stone, what are your plans for the future?”
After adding each other on WeChat, Chen Sheng asked.
“I’ll see how it goes; I just don’t want to stay in the martial arts hall anymore.”
“I might even take over my family’s pig farm.” “And when Brother Chen needs meat, I’ll give you a discount.”
Shi Jian grinned and gave a big thumbs up.
Chen Sheng also smiled.
Soon, the two went their separate ways.
Putting the weighted gear back on, Chen Sheng began to warm up by the side of the road.
His mood wasn’t affected much.
In his view, joining the martial arts hall was more about repaying Li Chenghu’s kindness than having to cling to it desperately.
With the panel, he could become strong enough just by training at home every day.
The only difference was whether it would take longer or shorter.
However ,
just as Chen Sheng was about to start running, a police car pulled in front of him.
The window rolled down slowly.
What came into view was a guilt-filled face of Li Chenghu.
Li Chenghu naturally knew his father’s intentionsclearly.
That’s precisely why, he felt extremely guilty.
“Ah Sheng, I’m sor—”
“Master, don’t apologize, you did nothing wrong,” said Chen Sheng, waving his hand and interrupting him.
“Whether I’m in the martial arts hall or not, you’re still my master.” Chen Sheng always remembered Li Chenghu’s help.
What happened in the martial arts hall had nothing to do with Li Chenghu.
He was very clear about that.
Li Chenghu opened his mouth, he had so much to say, but didn’t know where to start.
In the end, he showed a smile.contemporary romance
“Alright.”
After that, the two fell silent again.
Although their relationship was not affected just now, for a moment, there was still an inexplicable embarrassment in interacting with each other.
“I’m off.”
“If you need any help, remember to contact me.”
In the end,
It was Li Chenghu who spoke first.
“Yes, master.”
Chen Sheng responded with a smile.
After that,
Li Chenghu started the car and drove off again. Chen Sheng also prepared to start running.
“Wait!”
But at this moment, shouting resounded from behind.
Chen Sheng turned his head, and saw a black plastic bag flying towards him.
He caught it and took a look, inside was the vitality soup herbs.
By the looks of it, there were even more than what he got last time.
There were ten shares in total.
“I knew you wouldn’t ask me for more once you’ve finished the previous batch,” said Li Chenghu, poking his head out of the car window and smiling.
“So, I bought some more for you.”
Then, he started the car again, not giving Chen Sheng the chance to decline.
Chen Sheng looked at the herbs in his hand, then at the police car driving away.
Chen Sheng was silent for a while, quietly remembering this kindness in his heart.
Then,
he took a stride and ran towards the gym, ready to begin his afternoon training.
At the Xingwu Gym, in the inner courtyard.
Li Xingwu was lying on a rocking chair, watching his three direct disciples practice while sipping tea.
So leisurely, there was no sign of anxiety.
“Master, is everything really alright with Senior Brother Li?”
Guo Yang had been with Li Xingwu for ten years, he naturally knew of Li Xingwu’s plan, otherwise he wouldn’t have threatened Chen Sheng previously.
But he was still worried about the father- son relationship being affected by Chen Sheng, an outsider.
“This isn’t something you need to worry about,” said Li Xingwu, waving his hand, looking as if out of sight, out of mind.
“He’s just a mediocrity, but he treats him like treasure.”
“In the future, he’ll understand.”
Li Xingwu sneered.
Then,
he sat up and his gaze swept over each of his three direct disciples.
“The Martial Arts Conference is about to begin.”
“As long as you perform well, our martial arts hall’s monthly share of spirit medicine will greatly increase.”
“All you need to do during this time is concentrate on practicing!” “As for other matters, you don’t have to worry about them.”
Li Xingwu was speaking to all three, but his eyes were fixed on Wu Ran the entire time.
Li Xingwu’s eyes lit up more and more as he looked at Wu Ran.
Now he was at the hidden energy level, his strength was comparable to third-stage transforming strength martial artists.
With Wu Ran, the Martial Arts Conference would undoubtedly bring great reputation to the Xingwu Gym. This talented disciple, was his hope.
Besides that, nothing else mattered..
