Chapter 44: Firm Faith
VIP lounge on the 29th floor.
In addition to Zhou Zhennan, there are some other martial artists, and everyone is communicating.
Among them is Zhao Yingjun's uncle Zhu Feng.
That is, the owner of the Kai Rong Hotel.
Knock Knock Knock –
There was a knock on the door of the large lounge.
"It should be handsome back, I'll go open the door. Although there are still some juniors in the lounge, Zhu Feng is the owner of this hotel after all, so he is busy.
Really.
The door opened, and it was indeed Zhao Yingjun who had returned.
Of course, he also brought Li Ning and Niu San.
"Uncle, I brought Ning Shao here. Zhao Yingjun glanced at the various characters in the lounge, and then smiled.
"This is Ning Shao, really a talent!" Zhu Feng looked at Niu San, although he praised it on the surface, he was disgusted in his heart, and even a little disgusted.
It's humiliating for this person to deserve this appearance.
A scalded face, a bare head, not to mention hair, not even an eyebrow.
However, after all, he is Zhou Zhennan's apprentice, so he can only give a good face.
But he didn't know that he recognized the wrong person.
"Ahem... Uncle he is Ning Shao. Zhao Yingjun coughed dryly a few times and pointed at the silent Li Ning.
"Uh-hehe!" Niu Feng was embarrassed to death, and he didn't know what to do except laugh dryly.
"You should feel honored to be recognized as me, Niu San, it's better than being other stinky fish and shrimp. Li Ning said without looking at Zhu Feng's face, and walked straight towards Zhou Zhennan.
"It is naturally a great honor to be recognized as a young master, and it is too late for me to be happy. Niu San touched his bare head and smiled.
The two passed by Zhu Feng.
When his back was to Li Ning, Zhu Feng's face suddenly sank, and his eyes were a little cold.
As the owner of Kai Rong Hotel, it goes without saying that his status is naturally needless to say, but he is ridiculed by a stinky boy, which is really unpleasant.
Zhao Yingjun saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know what to say, after all, it was indeed his uncle's problem.
"Master. Li Ning walked in front of Zhou Zhennan, bent down respectfully, and then stood aside.
"A-Ning is back, not bad, the breath has changed a lot, it seems that the strength has increased a lot. Zhou Zhennan interrupted the conversation with his friend, looked at Li Ning, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Can't let you down, can you. Li Ning wanted to give the master a huge surprise.
He glanced at the others in the lounge.
I found that the faces were very unfamiliar.
"Hmm-who is this?" Zhou Zhennan looked at Niu San, who was nervous and cramped beside his apprentice, and immediately asked suspiciously.
"He is a housekeeper I found myself, called Niu San. Li Ning gave a brief introduction.
"Old man. Niu San was nervous, after all, this place is full of righteous martial artists, and his left path is very awkward, and he has a feeling of being a thief.
"Oh, Niu San?" Zhou Zhennan smelled a slightly familiar smell from Niu San's body.
But there are a lot of people here.
Plus this is the apprentice's butler.
I didn't say much.
"This is Ning Shao?"
"Brother Zhou's apprentice?"
"The breath is very stable, and the age is not very old!"
Then.
Others were also looking at Li Ning.
Some people compliment politely.
And more people are scrutinizing eyes.
Li Ning even saw disdain in the eyes of several old men.
Apparently looked down on him.
"Being able to become an apprentice of Old Man Zhou in his twenties must be extraordinary. At this time, a young man in a white casual suit walked over.
"I'm afraid that I don't have any ability, and I will bring humiliation on myself when the last eight gates conference. On the other side, a short man stood up.
"How can you be yin and yang, it must be extraordinary for the little brother to become the apprentice of Old Man Zhou. A woman with a bewitching figure and heavy makeup smiled at Li Ning while leaning against the window and smoking.
Remove this woman.
Other people's attitude towards Li Ning was somewhat unhappy and contemptuous.
After all, he was a halfway monk, but he turned over, which made many people very envious and jealous.
"Who are you?" Li Ning also smiled at the woman, and then looked at these people.
"The white clothes are Zhang Xiao, the first disciple of the Cloud Fist Ninety. ”
"The short man is Panmen's representative Li Mo this time. ”
And she is Zhou Xiaoxiao, vice president of Nanbian Zhengrong Group. ”
Zhao Yingjun whispered beside him.
In short, all of them have unusual origins.
On the northwest side, there are three martial arts halls that can compete with the Eight Gates, and this Cloud Fist is one of them.
And Zhou Xiaoxiao is one of the planners of this event, and the origin is even more terrifying.
It can almost be said that most of the people in this VIP lounge are not ordinary people.
The most ordinary person with the background is Li Ning.
However, behind him, the most ordinary person, is Zhou Zhennan, the backer of the Northwest Overlord level.
"I see. Li Ning nodded suddenly.
"Be careful with this Li Mo. Zhao Yingjun kindly reminded.
"Why?" Li Ning looked at him suspiciously.
"Do you know why these people are so hostile and interested in you?" Zhao Yingjun didn't answer directly, but asked.
"If I knew it, I would still have to ask you?" the corners of Li Ning's mouth twitched.
"Because everyone heard that you defeated Lin Sanshao, everyone wants to know if this rumor is true or not, including me. Zhao Yingjun said seriously.
"Is just one Lin San worthy of everyone's attention?" Li Ning was a little incomprehensible.
"Lin Sanshao is one of the geniuses who are expected to become innate masters on the side of the Northwest Ninety Martial Artists, and his reputation is very high, this Li Mo and him are good friends. Zhao Yingjun replied.
"Boy, during the Eight Gates Conference, I hope you don't let me kill you by mistake. Although Li Mo is short, his attitude is very arrogant when he speaks.
Li Ning smiled dumbly and said, "It should be said that if you are as weak as Lin San, I will be very disappointed!"
Uh-
Everyone's faces changed.
Especially Li Mo.
His face was even more stiff.
Arrogant!
Almost instantly.
Everyone's hearts put this label on Li Ning.
Being young does not know humility.
Speak without concealment.
"Junior, you should be humble and learn from your master. ”
"So arrogant, I see that it is difficult for you to enter the innate nature. ”
"Fox fake tiger might, hum!"
Soon.
People of all colors have different reactions.
looked down on Li Ning more and more.
For the words and opinions of these people.
Li Ning still had a smile on his face.
Dead house for so many years.
His skin has long been thicker than the city walls.
What's more, he doesn't care what others think of him at all.
Zhou Zhennan had no expression from beginning to end, and there was not much change.
Of course, he knows exactly what virtues his apprentices have.
Not to mention.
It's nothing to be young and frivolous.
When he was younger.
It's even more boundless.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will start in a few minutes. Zhu Feng broke the atmosphere full of flavor and said.
"Let's go!"
"This auction is a lot of good things!"
"I'm more concerned about how the drinks are going this time!"
Then.
Everyone got up and went to the top floor of the open air.
Zhou Zhennan was naturally surrounded by a group of people.
Li Ning and Niu San are one of them.
Come to the top.
It's about the size of half a football field.
It is surrounded by all kinds of flowers and plants.
There are about 20 tables.
Someone who can sit here.
It's all about the powerful.
More people stood on a high platform in the back.
There is no eligibility to sit down.
After Zhou Zhennan and the others sat down.
Li Ning and Niu San found that there was no place for the two of them.
"Uh- sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare your place. Zhu Feng hurriedly explained.
"Oh?" Li Ning stared at Zhu Feng's eyes, his eyebrows raised, he didn't believe it was like this.
"Why don't I prepare two stools for you, and then you can go aside. Zhu Feng pointed to the long table where the drinks were placed, which was the very edge, where all kinds of miscellaneous items were piled up.
The people around him suddenly showed expressions of watching the show.
Zhou Zhennan's only apprentice sat at the very edge.
It's going to get out and die in disgrace.
"It's better to sit with me, I still have a seat here. But at this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly beckoned to Li Ning.
"Xiaoxiao, do you have a place over there?" asked Zhu Fengpi with a smile.
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.
"Then go over there. A trace of coldness flashed in Zhu Feng's eyes, and then he smiled at Li Ning and Niu Sangan.
"Thank you. Li Ning remembered Zhu Feng's face and sat down beside Zhou Xiaoxiao.
"You're welcome - Zhu Feng is not bad, but he is just a little cautious. Zhou Xiaoxiao sat elegantly, holding a stick of Suyan agarwood between the index finger and middle finger of her right hand, and smiled slightly.
"I'm also very cautious, and I hold grudges. Li Ning grinned, revealing his white and neat teeth.
"Little brother, you have an attitude that shouldn't exist at this age, it's better to keep a low profile. Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at him with interest and reminded.
"I never provoke anyone, but if someone provokes me, I certainly won't sit still. Li Ning shrugged.
He has a good impression of this Zhou beauty.
Although the first time we met.
But it's not like everyone else.
Pretty good attitude towards myself.
And while smoking.
But it's nice to laugh.
"I may know why Old Man Zhou took you as an apprentice, you were very similar when you were young. Zhou Xiaoxiao put a thin cigarette to her lips, just wanted to light it, hesitated and put it down again.
"Is my sister familiar with my master?" Li Ning looked at her with some surprise.
"Not only is it familiar, Old Man Zhou was one of the worshippers of the Zhengrong Group when he was young. Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with the corners of her mouth curled.
"I don't know what is the difference between the martial arts in the south and the northwest?" Li Ning couldn't help but ask.
He was born in the northwestern city of Northwest since he was a child.
The farthest place I've ever been to is Qingtan Town.
I am also very curious and yearning for other places.
The world is so big.
I want to check it out.
"The south is different from the northwest, there are more martial arts halls there, there are various events, and they are more international, and there are almost no existences like Bamen. Zhou Xiaoxiao replied.
"That is, the ancient culture has been replaced. Li Ning nodded.
"Time is the most ruthless thing, no matter how powerful you are, no matter how strong you are, there will be a day when you disappear. Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at him with a serious expression and sincere eyes, as he spoke, as if he remembered something, his eyes suddenly dimmed.
"So I want to live forever, longer than anyone else, longer than time!" Li Ning squinted slightly, his eyes shining.
Although I had a brief exchange with Zhou Xiaoxiao.
But he suddenly understood how to live.
I know what it means to live.
And that unreachable door from the moment he firmly believed.
The distance is one step closer.
Some gains are always obtained by accident.
"Huh. Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly found that Li Ning seemed to be a little different at this moment, but he couldn't say what was different, it was just a feeling.
"Sister, thank you, if you have difficulties, I can help you once. Li Ning obviously felt that with the change of mood, the dantian ** became more tenacious, and the martial arts realm also improved slightly, so he smiled at her kindly.
"If you can really help me, then I should thank you instead. Zhou Xiaoxiao covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, stretched out her slender jade hand and boldly hooked Li Ning's neck, which was very close, and Li Ning could even smell a strong perfume smell on her body, and the two of them acted very intimately.
This scene fell in Zhu Feng's eyes, and the corners of his eyes immediately twitched, and he was envious and jealous in his heart.
originally wanted to teach Li Ning a lesson, but who knew that he would hook up with Zhou Xiaoxiao instead.
If it weren't for the fact that the auction was about to start, he couldn't wait to rush up and tear the two apart.
And the fat man Zhou Mu and others on the high platform were extremely envious.
They naturally knew who this beautiful woman in the red dress was.
Li Yunxiang, who was covering the swollen left side of her face.
When I saw Li Ning so close to such a delicate and beautiful woman.
The two talked and laughed.
I looked at the fat man next to me.
Her heart suddenly had mixed feelings!
