11. Martial arts competition

A fun and relaxing weekend.

Jiuguang Department Store, a large-scale commercial complex located on the shore of Jinji Lake.

By the fountain in front of Gate 3, a girl wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt with white embroidered letters and a khaki high-waisted umbrella skirt looked around anxiously, waking up the screen of her mobile phone from time to time to glance at the time.

She is not particularly beautiful, because she has a sweet ball head, so she can barely be classified as cute, but because of her tall figure and straight and slender legs, she has also attracted the attention of many passers-by, and her return rate is not low.

After waiting for a while, another girl trotted over, she was dressed in a preppy style, a simple white T-shirt with light blue jeans, refreshing and clean. The neck-length short hair adds a bit of cleverness.

"Why did you come here?" asked the ball-headed girl, with a hint of reproach in her tone.

Her name is Jiang Xiaoyu, a student in the first (1) class of Haitang High School, and she came to Jiuguang Department Store today at the invitation of her brother Jiang Lu.

"You know, the road over there is very congested, and the bus can't change lanes like crazy. โ€

The short-haired girl pulled down her sideburns and explained. Her name is Lin Weiyue, and she is one of Jiang Xiaoyu's best friends.

"Okay, okay, okay. โ€

Jiang Xiaoyu took Lin Weiyue's hand and ran towards the Jiuguang Department Store, "I'll talk about the rest later, we're about to be late!"

"Hey, hey, slow down!"

Lin Weiyue shouted, "I'm not you, I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child, run slower, my physical strength can't keep up!"

Seven minutes later, they came to a martial arts hall, and the peach wood plaque prominently wrote four words: "Burial Heaven Martial Arts Hall", and in the lower right corner was the inscription: "Song Taiqing". This is the president of the Pingjiang Martial Arts Association, a sixth-level psionic person.

Zang Tianhao has a very good personal relationship with him, mainly because Zang Tianhao will come to the matter, and give him gifts every now and then, not only that, but the entire Pingjiang Martial Arts Association is smiling with him, which is why the Funeral Heaven Martial Arts Hall can be almost a monopoly in Pingjiang.

It's now half past ten in the morning, and there is a long queue at the entrance of the Burial Heaven Martial Arts Hall.

Jiang Xiaoyu dragged Lin Weiyue, who was out of breath, to the male disciple who greeted him at the door.

"Brother Feng, where is my brother?" she asked eagerly.

The male disciple whose full name was Lu Feng was concentrating on checking whether the invitation letter of the queue was forged, and when he heard the voice, he turned his head and saw that it was Jiang Xiaoyu, and a smile bloomed on his face: "It's Xiaoyu." After a pause, he frowned, "I don't know where your brother is, so you go in first and ask others, someone must know." โ€

As he spoke, he untied the red rope that had been used to cut it.

Jiang Xiaoyu dragged Lin Weiyue and ran in quickly.

"Where, where. Jiang Xiaoyu was looking around and talking to himself.

"Huh!" Suddenly, Lin Weiyue stopped her and looked in one direction excitedly, "Xiaoyu, look, who is that?!"

Jiang Xiaoyu followed Lin Weiyue's gaze, and at the end of the line of sight, several people were standing next to the competition platform, one of them was obviously a little younger than the people around him, it was a boy, and he was calmly watching the two warm-up players on the competition platform.

"That's ......," Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes widened.

"It's all right!" Lin Weiyue exclaimed excitedly.

"Xiaoyu, didn't you say that you come here every day, why didn't you tell me about Qi Qi practicing martial arts here?" Lin Weiyue then asked, "Do you want to eat alone?"

"What!" Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at her, "I've never seen him before." โ€

"Then you go to your brother, and I'll go talk to Xueshen. Lin Weiyue grinned, and was about to leave.

Jiang Xiaoyu grabbed Lin Weiyue and hugged her neck, "You forgetful woman, don't want to run, if you want to talk later, there will be a chance to accompany me to find my brother first!"

"Ahhhh

Quaint and elegant office.

There are various pennants hanging on the wall, some of which are written "Carry forward the spirit of martial arts and inherit the national culture", and some write "Educate people in a good way, and Deze all over the world". Under the walls is a set of leather sofas. In front of the main sofa, a set of tea is antique, and a handsome man is slowly sipping tea.

Zang Tianhao sat in a leather swivel chair, reviewing the specific matters of today's monthly martial arts meeting.

Behind him, there was a bookcase, filled with glittering trophies and various books in the field of martial arts.

"Let's be honest. โ€

Zang Tianhao raised his head, looked at the handsome man and said, "I didn't expect you to be released at this time." โ€

The handsome man took a sip of tea and exhaled a hot breath, "The world is fair, I behave well in it, plus I can seize the opportunity, it's normal to release it early, I'm too slow." โ€

Zang Tianhao asked suspiciously, "Who do you think issued the amnesty?"

"How would I know. The handsome man rolled his eyes, "Okay, big brother, I listen to you, you don't seem to be very satisfied with the fact that I was released early, co-author, do you want me to stay in it for another half a year?"

"That's not what it means. Zang Tianhao smiled and shook his head, "I'm just curious." โ€

"The Guo family, the Su family, and Pingjiang have a total of a few local snakes, and they are one of them after all. The handsome man said casually.

"Speaking of the family. โ€

Zang Tianhao's tone became serious, "You may not know when you just came out, something happened to the Kuang family." โ€

"What's the matter?" the handsome man fiddled with the tea set.

"You know, right?"

"That Jiangdong talent?" paused, and the handsome man raised his eyes to look at Zang Tianhao.

"Not anymore. Zang Tianhao said, "I heard that he awakened the Lingwen of the Life Department and was deposed as an outcast of the Cheng family, and his elder brother, Guo Tingqi, awakened the Lingwen [Lion Heart]. โ€

"Tsk, it feels like a plot from a TV series. The handsome man sneered.

Without waiting for Zang Tianhao to continue, the handsome man asked directly: "Big brother, you suddenly said this, you should want to intervene in this, right?"

Zang Tianhao laughed: "Jiang Lu, who knows me, is also." โ€

The laughter gradually stopped, and he said: "The situation is an iron plate, in the past, when he was still a talent in Jiangdong, I once thought about taking refuge, but he ignored me." Now that he has become an outcast, it is very happy. I heard that his elder brother Guo Tingqi has no skills other than awakening Lingwen [Lionheart], and this is a great opportunity for us. โ€

"And then?"

Jiang Lu asked, "Big brother, even if you take refuge in the Kuang family, the Kuang family only has a little power in Pingjiang, out of Pingjiang, who will give him face? The Burial Tianwu Pavilion is already the first in Pingjiang, can you go up further?"

"It is now, but it does not mean it will always be. Zang Tianhao said, "I heard that some other martial arts hall directors have also begun to contact Song Taiqing in private, this insatiable old man, who takes so much of my filial piety money every year, but still refuses these people, I think, we still need a more powerful backer, the situation is good." โ€

"Since you say so, big brother, then do it, you know, I've never been interested in this kind of thing. Jiang Lu said, "But I'm a little curious, what are you going to do?"

Zang Tianhao laughed incomprehensibly, "You don't know, that former Jiangdong talent is now a disciple of my Burial Heaven Martial Arts Pavilion, according to the rules, he will also participate in the martial arts competition today." โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ How long has he been practicing?" Jiang Lu leaned towards his eyebrows, "It was May when I went in, and it's only October now, and he has been practicing for five months, so you dare to let him go on stage?"

"Half-crippled. โ€

Zang Tianhao's tone was light, "People who practice martial arts, who can guarantee that they won't be injured?" Besides, I asked him just now, and he agreed. I have a recording to prove it, even if something happens to him later, and the family will come to the door to settle the account in the future, I will have a reason. โ€

"Big brother, you must not have told him how intense this martial arts competition will be, right?" Jiang Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Haha!" Zang Tianhao nodded at him across the desk, "I'll just say that Jiang Lu, who knows me, that's right, he didn't ask me and didn't say anything." In addition, let me tell you one more thing, from the time he started practicing martial arts to the present, the total time is no more than thirty hours, and he is not dead or disabled this time. โ€

"It's bad luck. โ€

Jiang Lu commented that he didn't have any compassion, he was as cold as Zang Tianhao, and even more solid than Zang Tianhao. It's just that Zang Tianhao wraps his inner coldness with a layer of oily sophistication, while he uses uninhibited and uninhibited.

"Knock knock. โ€

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in. Zang Tianhao said.

The door opened, and a ball head poked in.

"Oh, it's Xiaoyu. When Zang Tianhao saw someone coming, he immediately laughed.

"Uncle Zang, is my brother here?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked with a wink.

Zang Tianhao shook his head helplessly: "You change your name to Brother Zang first, and I'll tell you if he's not there." โ€

"Since you say so. โ€

Jiang Xiaoyu's eyes rolled, opened the door and walked in, "Then he must be there." โ€

Turning around, just as she was about to look around, she saw a handsome man on the sofa who was smiling gently at her, "Xiaoyu, how did you become beautiful after not seeing you for a few months?"

"Brother!"

Jiang Xiaoyu exclaimed in surprise and jumped to Jianglu like a milk swallow returning to the forest...... next to the couch.

"Did you bring me a gift for this business trip?" she asked expectantly.

"Gift?" Jiang Lu swallowed, a little flustered.

Where did he go to buy gifts? He walked most of the night before entering the city, and the porter said that it was five kilometers, and he walked more than 20 kilometers without seeing half of the greeting station, which caused him to endure the cold wind all night.

"Jiang Lu!"

Jiang Xiaoyu glared, "You didn't buy me a gift?!"

"Uh......" The handsome man muttered, not knowing how to explain it.

At this time, Zang Tianhao laughed, opened the drawer, took out a beautifully styled jewelry box from it, and said to Jiang Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, your brother is teasing you, he is hiding me here." โ€

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyu's face softened slightly, glared at Jiang Lu viciously, jumped off the sofa, ran to Zang Tianhao happily, took the jewelry box, and eagerly opened it to see that inside was a sparkling platinum necklace.

"Wow-" Jiang Xiaoyu's mouth opened wide.

Jiang Lu walked over, glanced at the necklace, cleared his throat and said: "Xiaoyu, this chain is very valuable, you can only wear it when you need to attend important events, don't take it out blindly to show off in normal times, I think you should know the truth that wealth is not exposed." โ€

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Xiaoyu glanced at him, "You think I'm you, I just bought a new mobile phone in the third year of junior high school, and I showed it off on the street, but it was stolen in the blink of an eye, and I am qualified to say that I am!"

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

Jiang Lu stopped talking, and he was helpless in the face of this sister.

"Oh yes, Xiao Yue!"

Jiang Xiaoyu suddenly remembered Lin Weiyue, who was left at the door by her, and quickly put down the jewelry box and ran out quickly.

Seeing this, Jiang Lu asked, "Hey, you don't want this chain?"

"Don't move!" Jiang Xiaoyu's voice came, "Dare to move and I'll chop your hand!"

"Really!" Jiang Lu shook his head helplessly, and then said to Zang Tianhao: "You too, I thought you had sold this necklace a long time ago, and I didn't expect to stay here." Aren't you afraid that she will be found out wearing it outside?"

"Rest assured. โ€

Zang Tianhao raised his hand and pressed it weakly, "Everything is taken care of, no one will find out." โ€

"Come, come, come. โ€

Jiang Xiaoyu dragged Lin Weiyue in, "Let me introduce you to you, this is my best friend Lin Weiyue." โ€

Lin Weiyue didn't hide half of her face shyly, but opened her eyes wide, looking at Jiang Lu and Zang Tianhao curiously, she was really a girl who was not afraid of life. It's no wonder that she can be best friends with Jiang Xiaoyu, both of them are the kind of arrogant and straightforward personalities.

Jiang Lu nodded to Lin Weiyue, the scar on his right cheek that ran diagonally through the corner of his right eye to under his nose was hideous and inexplicable, but in Lin Weiyue's heart, it became a symbol of bravery. She always heard Jiang Xiaoyu say how powerful her brother was, and now that she looks, it is indeed the case.

Of course, the main thing that affects her judgment is that Jiang Lu's impeccable appearance, even if there is a scar, is enough to stir the heartstrings of the girl.

Zang Tianhao also nodded to Lin Weiyue, but Lin Weiyue directly ignored him, an uncle with a fair appearance and a philistine written on his face.

"Alright. Zang Tianhao glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer desktop, "It's almost time, Jiang Lu, we should pass." โ€

So, the four of them left the office, and Lin Weiyue hooked Jiang Xiaoyu to follow behind Jiang Lu and Zang Tianhao.

"Xiaoyu, your brother ......" Lin Weiyue stopped when she wanted to speak.

"No!" Jiang Xiaoyu had already seen through what her best friend was thinking, and said bluntly, "I don't have a girlfriend!"

"Laugh to death!" Lin Weiyue blushed, "How do you know what I want to ask?"

Jiang Xiaoyu looked at his nose and nose and looked at his heart: "I used to say that the two of us have the same heart, but you still don't believe it." โ€

With the two girls exchanging their hearts, the four of them slowly walked to the side of the rostrum in front of the competition platform.
