Chapter 53: Martial Arts Conferences and Gatherings
The next day, Xiao Ruo's meeting with Wang Lao of the Academy of Military Sciences was quite smooth, although after Xiao Ruo explained the drawings in detail and gave him a copy of the wind tunnel technology, Wang Lao still did not give up, but Xiao Ruo successfully used space confinement to get rid of this technical maniac.
When she got home, Xiao Ruo buried her head in that large pile of documents, and the domestic intelligence was difficult to do, complicated, even if Locke had arrived, it was difficult for people abroad to understand the special situation arising from the special national conditions in Huaxia, so she could only work harder.
The conversation with Deng Gong the day before made Xiao Ruo have a lot of interest in the so-called "martial arts conference", and he found a lot of information, but if he wanted to get first-hand information, he still had to ask the relevant personnel.
So, Xiao Ruo found Kong Qianfan.
"Mr. Kong, there is a martial arts conference in October this year, you should know, right?"
Hearing the words "Martial Arts Conference", Kong Qianfan's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he became excited.
"Xiao Xiu-" He opened his mouth, and then he didn't know what he remembered, his expression suddenly became eager, and his voice was a little urgent, "Please don't go!"
Xiao Ruo looked at the emotional Kong Qianfan, his brows furrowed, and he had more doubts in his heart.
What the hell was going on back then? He regarded the death of his wife as if he had not had the slightest warning before, and it was very likely that he was killed, and the murderer should be a martial artist. But he didn't seem to have any thoughts of revenge, and if he had told himself that with his relationship with little Alice, he would definitely help him. If he himself wants revenge. It's not like it, Xiao Ruoke doesn't believe that he can hide it from himself.
Therefore, there must have been something unknown that happened back then, so that Kong Qianfan didn't even dare to think of revenge.
"Mr. Kong, don't you want revenge?" Xiao Ruo asked tentatively.
"Revenge?" Kong Qianfan seemed to have heard something terrible, and his face turned pale. Shaking his head again and again, "I don't have any revenge...... Tong'er, she's sick, sick...... I still have something to do, so I'll go first, I'm sorry. Xiao Xiu......"
Before Xiao Ruo could stop him, Kong Qianfan took up his light skills and went out.
Looking at his back, Xiao Ruo's doubts deepened. But since he didn't want to say it, she naturally wouldn't force her.
At the martial arts conference, she could naturally find someone to ask.
For example, Mr. Li Muyun, who was quickly summoned by the Great Summoning Technique.
"Martial arts conference? Why did you remember to ask this?" Li Muyun thought that Xiao Ruo had something urgent, but she asked about the martial arts conference. When did she become interested in these?
"When I went to see Deng Gong yesterday, he mentioned it and said that he wanted me to help. You also know that I have a Kong Qianfan here, and the grudge between him and those three families has not been resolved. In addition, don't forget, your daughter has a good relationship with others, and her dishonest character, Arthur is also afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and I already have a bad premonition now. Xiao Ruo glanced at Li Muyun and said depressedly.
"Uh......" Li Muyun can't do anything about those two children who don't make people worry. finally understood why Xiao Ruo called him over, so he explained: "The martial arts conference and the guardian assessment are generally held in the same year, but only in the first half of the year and the other in the second half of the year. The latter is a test of strength, while the former is a competition, and it only involves ancient martial arts. β
After a pause, Li Muyun seemed to remember something. frowned and said: "If I remember correctly, this year's conference should be in the Xiang family."
"Xiang family?" Xiao Ruo was stunned, no wonder the Deng Guild would let her pay attention, thinking that Kong Qianfan would definitely go, so little Alice ......
"Let's talk about it in detail." Xiao Ruo didn't think he could stop the ghost elf's own daughter. It's hard to prevent. Instead of remedying it after the accident, it is better to make it clear to the little girl in advance and be fully prepared to go over together, so that she can rest assured, and, "You also want to participate, right?"
Li Muyun nodded: "That's for sure, I am the chief of Wudang, and I want to participate in the chief battle of this generation." In addition, I am the Lord of the Stellar Society, and another battle is inevitable. β
"It's the Xingchen Society, the Hong Gang, and the Celestial Dragon Society, right?" Xiao Ruo asked.
"Yes. This conference is taking place at the right time, otherwise we will have to consolidate our power by constantly fighting for territory. If we can have an advantageous position in this conference, there will be much less fighting for a long time to come, because the good players in the conference will participate. Li Muyun explained.
"Then be careful." Xiao Ruo didn't want to ask him more about this, she still understood the man's self-esteem, just admonished, and then continued to ask, "Then why did you hold a martial arts conference?" Martial arts in modern society has declined, and it doesn't seem to be beneficial. β
"It's still useful. Moreover, since ancient times, the poor and rich in martial arts, most of the people who practice martial arts will not be short of money, although the war of those decades has damaged everyone, but the heritage is still there. In order not to forget the original, and this kind of gathering is hard to come by, the meeting is not only a competition, but all kinds of cooperation can be discussed, just like an international summit, but still use the ancient name. β
"As for the benefits." Li Muyun smiled, "How can there be no benefit in guarding such a big secret realm?" There will even be a trading market. I'll go back and sort out a copy of the specific situation for you, it's still quite complicated. β
Xiao Ruo nodded, it seems that he has misunderstood. No wonder even Deng Gong attaches so much importance to a Laoshizi martial arts conference whose name can't be on the table, it turns out to be so promising.
"That...... Ruoruo ......" Li Muyun wanted to speak and stopped, which made Xiao Ruo have a headache.
Although she knew that there was nothing good at first glance, she still didn't feel good and said: "Just say something!" Do you take my words as wind in your ears?"
Li Muyun smiled bitterly before saying, "Okay, I don't know how to say it." In fact, it is a party in the circle of families in the capital, and I want to take you and the children there. β
"Party?" Xiao Ruo was puzzled, "Why now?" I don't want to go. β
Li Muyun is also quite helpless, this party was initiated by the Xia family, and Xiao Ruo will definitely receive an invitation here. He inevitably had some careful thoughts, Xia Guoqiang was Xiao Ruo's nominal fiancΓ©, although many people only knew about this matter, he didn't want his backyard to catch fire, even if the backyard had not been built yet.
"Ruoruo, in fact, you just came to the capital, and the people here already know everything, you go to the Yang family, go to see Deng Gong, these things can't be hidden from them. There are many things that can't be clear just by looking at the information, and you don't know the people in Huaxia, everyone will not put their minds on their faces, and it is difficult for the people who investigate to see it. But you have a 'real sense', and it's good to get in touch with them on the spot. β
"Moreover, there will be people from the Yang family and the Xiao family at this party, basically from our generation in the capital. Since you want to stay in the capital for a while, you can't help but get in touch with them. You may not feel anything when you first arrive, but the more you don't show up, the more curious they become, and there will inevitably be some small actions in private. β
"And ......" Li Muyun still said his thoughts, "This party was initiated by the Xia family, and I ...... Although we are not together yet, I still don't want you to have too much contact with Xia Guoqiang. You can take this for a man's cautious eye, but I feel very uncomfortable when I think about it. β
"So," Xiao Ruo looked at him with a smile, "you're ready to declare me your private property?" Aren't you afraid of being suppressed by the Xia family?"
"Do you think they're not cracking down now?" Li Muyun sighed, but he was a bachelor, "Anyway, I should do something 'bad' as soon as I mess with the underworld, otherwise I'm really sorry for my identity as the boss of the underworld." This is what I deserve, I can still bear the pain of wanting to be with you, and it's nothing. β
Xiao Ruo can hear his helplessness about his current identity, and it is also that he is the grandson of the Li family, but he runs to mix with the black * Dao that is not on the table in the eyes of others, there must be something unspeakable. Although curious, he didn't say, and she wouldn't ask.
With a soft heart, Xiao Ruo made a gesture to speak: "Okay, when?" As soon as the words came out, he was stunned first.
Li Muyun was overjoyed, he thought that this time he must have returned from the feathers and had to grind slowly. Seeing that she seemed to have remorse, she hurriedly said: "Because there are still many people in school, so at the end of the month, there are about four or five days, and I will come over to tell you about some people who should pay attention to it in the next few days."
At this point, Xiao Ruo didn't say anything anymore, anyway, she wasn't afraid of anything. He's right, instead of letting others make some small moves, it's better to show up in an upright manner, even if there is some gossip, she won't pay attention to it. If her mouth grows on someone else, can she still control it?
"Okay." Xiao Ruo nodded, then gave him a strange look, "You won't still be in school, will you?"
"Uh......" Li Muyun was stunned, remembering that she had been the head of the family for several years, and although she already had her own career, she still went to school, so she couldn't help but be frustrated, but she couldn't help answering, so she could only laugh, "Senior year, senior year, I'll graduate soon, it's okay if I don't go." β
Xiao Ruo snickered, she really had a bad taste, and she thought it was funny as soon as he appeared in this iconic "haha".
So Li Muyun is in the cup, and the future can be imagined.
