Boarding Life

From beginning to end, the only thing he cared about was this.

Shen Lulu, who had been indifferent all along, perked up her ears. Clearly, a woman's nature is to love gossip.

She distinctly noticed a flush sweep across Han Siqi's exquisite face, with excitement flickering in her eyes.

This further piqued her curiosity.

She really wanted to know what kind of mysterious agreement existed between Qin Qi and Han Siqi.

Han Siqi only pondered briefly before her beautiful eyes turned, giving a firm answer, "That's definitely not possible!"

Upon hearing this answer, Qin Qi was not discouraged. After all, the fruits of victory are often hard-won.

However, he had to find a way to help Han Siqi win this contest.

The only trouble was that Ghost Hand.

What he didn't know was.

Meanwhile, on Chen Quezi's side, plans for what was next were being discussed on the road.

"Brother Luo, Brother Ghost Hand, we'll have to count on you two next." Chen Quezi was no longer as arrogant as before and treated the two with courtesy.

Ghost Hand was particularly cold, responding expressionlessly, "I promised to help you fight one match, no matter who the opponent is. In my match, there is only victory, no defeat!"

With Ghost Hand's firm answer, Chen Quezi was relieved.

He had brought out his family heirloom, letting Ghost Hand participate, just to ensure a tie.

However, his ambition was never just a tie.

Chen Quezi turned to Luo Hu, "Brother Luo, it seems the decisive match relies entirely on you. As long as Brother Luo can win a victory, the matter of the price is negotiable..."

Standing two meters tall, with a back like a tiger and a waist like a bear, Luo Hu didn't look stupid at all, and his eyes held a sharpness. "Just as planned, if nothing unexpected happens, Han Siqi will definitely let Shen Lulu face me in the first battle after seeing Ghost Hand!"

"That witch beat me by a move or two last time, so she thinks she has me figured out. Her breath control has improved recently, so she must be full of confidence!"

"But I came prepared this time. Rest assured, if Shen Lulu dares to get on stage today, I'll make sure she tastes the bitterness of defeat!"

Hearing this, Chen Quezi's eyes also lit up. "As long as Brother Luo can handle Shen Lulu, the one who looks student-like will have no choice but to surrender to Brother Ghost Hand."

"By then, the agreed remuneration will be given to you in full, and there will even be a few top-grade surprises waiting for you..."

When Luo Hu heard about the top-grade goods, his eyes sparkled, and he couldn't help but laugh heartily.

Soon, everyone stopped and arrived at a massive pit.

This pit had obviously been intentionally leveled, and jumping in would make it a perfect arena for martial arts.

Clearly, this was the agreed-upon location for the martial arts duel.

Just upon arrival, the previously calming atmosphere suddenly became tense and awkward.

The two groups stood on their respective sides, engaging in heated discussions.

At this moment, a voice suddenly called out, "Old Wu is here!"

As this was said, everyone turned their heads.

They saw an elderly man, about sixty years old with graying hair, enter the central area.

It was his appearance that made Han Siqi and Chen Quezi step forward with respect, "Old Wu, may you be in good health!"

"Who is this Old Wu?" Qin Qi couldn't help but mutter.

Next to him, Shen Lulu maintained her indifferent demeanor, merely glancing at Qin Qi without responding.

Xiaodao stepped forward voluntarily and explained, "For private martial arts negotiations, both families usually invite a respected individual to act as a witness!"

"This ensures that after a win or loss, neither side will go back on their word!"

"Old Wu is the Vice President of the Southern Province Chamber of Commerce. The Han Family and the Chen Family are both part of the Chamber, so he is the most suitable person to officiate and witness!" Xiaodao explained straightforwardly.

Then, with his cane in hand, Old Wu smiled warmly at Han Siqi, "Han Girl, it's been ten years. You've grown up to be such a graceful woman. I remember when your father last visited me, you were just a little girl. I wouldn't have thought that you are now the head of the Han Group."

"In front of Old Wu, Siqi will always be just a little girl!" Han Siqi responded courteously.

After a few pleasantries with Chen Quezi, Old Wu got to the main point, "Alright, since both of your families have entrusted me with this hosting role, let us not waste any more time."

"Have both of your families call forth the participants for the battle!"

Han Siqi and Chen Quezi both looked at the people they had invited.

Qin Qi and Shen Lulu naturally stepped forward.

When Old Wu looked at Ghost Hand, his gaze lingered for a moment. Although his eyes showed some surprise, he did not let it show.

As for Luo Hu and Shen Lulu, he only glanced at them.

When Old Wu's gaze fell on Qin Qi, his eyes showed a degree of puzzlement.

This confusion lasted for a long time.

Out of curiosity, Han Siqi asked, "Old Wu, you..."

"It's nothing. For the first match, whom do you choose to send out? Step forward directly!" Old Wu chuckled as he stroked his beard.

Han Siqi and Chen Quezi did not play any tricks.

Shen Lulu and Luo Hu stepped out together.

Old Wu, with a kindly expression, said, "Haha, both of you are promising prospects from an Ancient Martial Family background. Not bad at all!"

Worried, Han Siqi approached Shen Lulu, "LuLu, be careful during the match. I have a bad feeling."

"Your good sister counts on you for today's outcome!"

Shen Lulu glanced at Shen Lu, and in an uncharacteristically gentle tone, replied, "Don't worry!"

She looked at the more than four-meter-deep pit in front of her and, with a light leap, landed calmly in the pit without even raising dust.

Luo Hu saw this, sneered, and without a word, leaped in as well.

His massive two-meter-plus frame landed as stably as Shen Lulu, unharmed!

"If everyone has no objections, then let's begin..." Old Wu said with a kindly smile.

Someone hurriedly brought a chair and placed it behind Old Wu.

With his words, his authority was apparent.

Luo Hu and Shen Lulu already had grievances, and when foes meet, it's intense.

With just one look at each other, they started battling, fighting fiercely.

Qin Qi didn't pay much attention to the fight.

He recalled the way Old Wu looked at him just now, a look that seemed to see through him.

This Old Wu was definitely not simple.

Since the other party bore no malice toward him, he didn't dwell on it, turning his focus to the fight between Luo Hu and Shen Lulu.

Very soon, his eyes squinted gradually into a slit.

"It seems like Shen Lulu might be in trouble..."
