Chapter 315
“That’s not possible …”
The voice in the earring said in a muffled voice, “Martial Sage Tan wanted to take him as a disciple, but he refused. This kid is so daring, he offended the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Academy’s Lian Branch, and he still wants to take them on by himself …”
“Is he crazy?” The woman’s face showed an incomprehensible expression.
She really couldn’t figure out why someone would refuse to become a disciple of the Martial Sage, and under the premise of offending another Martial Sage.
“Then why did the Martial Sage want me to go?”
The woman was a bit irritated, and she closed the tablet in her hand.
The voice replied, “The Martial Sage is benevolent, although he can’t take him as a disciple, he doesn’t want to see such a good seedling die in vain like this.”
“Alright.” The woman thought for a moment, then asked, “Then who is my opponent this time? Any intel?”
“Tong Kui of the Extreme Path’s 28 constellations, Zhuang Kui. You haven’t dealt with him before, but his strength is about the same as yours, both of you are at the quasi-Level 8 stage, and he’s been stuck at the Twin Bridges of Heaven and Earth for a long time …”
“Tong Kui of the 28 constellations, Zhuang Kui …” The woman softly said this name, a fervent glint passing through her eyes. “I think I understand why the Martial Sage wants me to go …”
“It’s good that you understand, this is actually also an opportunity for you. Take advantage of it.”
“I know, I know.”
The woman waved her hand, then picked up the tablet and casually flipped through it until the boarding announcement was made.
…
“Brother!”
At the boarding gate, Lu Qinghe excitedly raised her right hand and waved at Lu Sheng with all her might.
Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen stood beside Lu Qinghe.
The whole family was here.
A smile involuntarily appeared on Lu Sheng’s face, and he quickly walked toward the three of them.
“Why are you so late, didn’t you say the train was at one o ’clock?”
The moment they got close, Zheng Yufen began to nag.
Lu Sheng smiled and explained, “The train was delayed by half an hour, it can’t be helped.”
“Let’s go, your mom has already prepared dinner at home, just heat it up at home and you can eat it.”
Lu Hai chuckled and reached out his hand. “Come, I’ll help you carry your luggage.”
“Let Qinghe carry it.”
Lu Sheng very naturally stuffed the luggage in his hands into Lu Qinghe’s arms. Lu Qinghe’s expression froze, unable to react for a moment.
“I’m a girl …”
“So what?”
Lu Sheng casually glanced at her. “Are you going to carry it or not?”
Lu Qinghe looked like she was gnashing her teeth, glared at Lu Sheng, and said in a muffled voice: “I’ll carry it.”
That’s right.
Lu Sheng’s mood instantly lightened.
This kind of opportunity to bully Lu Qinghe would plummet in the future.
“I finally know why you can’t find a girlfriend …”
Lu Qinghe hugged the bags and said in a foul mood: “You’re a brute, you deserve to be single.”
Lu Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to her as he talked to his parents.
The family exited the train station; Lu Hai’s car was already ready in the parking lot.
“Get in, let’s go home!”
Lu Hai pressed the car key, and the blue car turned on; letting out a low rumble.
***
Lu Hai had been working in a logistics company for decades, so he could drive a small car with ease. The car was fast and steady.
Lu Sheng sat in the passenger seat and chatted with his family.
“Brother, what happened at the end of the Martial Arts Conference?” Lu Qinghe asked him as soon as she got in the car. Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen were also curious.
“I searched the Internet for a long time, but there was no news at all. It’s really strange …” Lu Qinghe muttered.
Not only her, but many people on the internet felt that this Martial Arts Conference had a strong start and a weak finish. Even the final award ceremony went un-broadcasted.
However, the official announcement was made. The explanation was that the award ceremony was omitted due to special reasons. As for Lu Sheng’s challenge to a Master, it was also a misunderstanding.
It coincided with the excuse Lu Sheng had found earlier.
“The top few contestants were either injured or had other matters to attend to. Rather than being scattered all over the place and being laughed at by others, it was a wise decision to not have done anything about it … As for the Master …” Lu Sheng tilted his head and glanced at Lu Qinghe, saying, “Look, I’m standing in front of you now.”
Lu Qinghe nodded.
But her expression was a little regretful.
“I wanted to see you going on stage to receive the award. Many of my classmates were also waiting to see it … yet, there was no ceremony in the end. Sigh …”
“Your brother is already impressive enough now.” Lu Hai said with a smile.
“How many days will you be back this time?” Zheng Yufen was most concerned about this question.
Lu Sheng thought for a moment and said, “I’m not sure. I’ll try to stay as long as I can. Anyway, I have nothing to do anytime soon.”
“It’s best to stay until after the ninth …” Zheng Yufen sighed, “Then I can celebrate your birthday at home.”
“Yeah, we didn’t get to celebrate your birthday properly last year. We can do it this year …”
Lu Hai pressed the horn, overtaking a red car.
Lu Sheng was startled and then remembered.
His birthday was coming.
He subconsciously looked out of the window.
The leaves on both sides of the road had already turned yellow and were withering. The pedestrians he occasionally saw on the road were basically wearing jackets.
It was already December.
Lu Sheng had been in the capital for a long time.
Moreover, the people around him were all martial artists who had achieved some success in the martial way. Their blood and Qi were abundant, and they were not afraid of the cold or the heat. Their perception of temperature changes was actually ‘slower’ than that of ordinary people.
At least that was the case for Lu Sheng.
He was still running around in a short-sleeved shirt.
“After my birthday, I’ll be nineteen.”
Zheng Yufen sighed in the back seat.
“Only nineteen.”
Lu Qinghe also sighed.
Her brother Lu Sheng won first place in the National University Martial Arts Conference at the age of nineteen. What would happen when she was nineteen?
Lu Qinghe suddenly felt very bad.
Back home, the family had a simple meal.
Zheng Yufen immediately began to prepare dinner.
Lu Hai was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Lu Sheng, on the other hand, took Lu Qinghe into the Martial Arts Cultivation Room and checked her progress. He also taught her a few more moves of the Body Refinement Technique.
“Don’t go out for the next two days. Practice hard at home. You can go back to school when I’m satisfied.”
Lu Qinghe’s expression turned bitter when she heard this, but she didn’t say anything.
Her past experience told her that resisting Lu Sheng, would only result in an even crueller suppression.
After leaving Lu Qinghe alone in the Martial Arts Cultivation Room, Lu Sheng went upstairs alone and came to the large platform on the roof of the third floor.
He stood on the rooftop platform, and his Level 7 Spiritual Power quickly radiated in all directions.
