Chapter 13 Henghu Manor
After Shen Yun made up his mind, he got up and walked out of his room and knocked on the door of the dormitory next door.
When the short and fat student opened the door and saw that it was Shen Yun, he immediately took a half step back and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Shen Yun's junior brother, is there anything wrong?"
Shen Yun asked expressionlessly, "Yesterday evening, did there be rats in Senior Brother's room?"
The short and fat student replied without thinking, "No, I've been cultivating all night, and the room has always been very quiet!"
Shen Yun nodded and said, "That's it, then it's okay, farewell!"
Shen Yun said to himself as he walked towards his room, "So, I had auditory hallucinations while cultivating, shouldn't I!"
......
That night, the short and fat student who lived next door to Shen Yun quietly left his room and sneaked into a dormitory in the back row.
The owner of the dormitory was a tall and thin student, and after seeing the short and fat student, he asked eagerly, "How is it?"
The short and fat student smiled proudly: "I just used a little trick to make the other party uneasy, this person is naΓ―ve, he actually thought that he had auditory hallucinations while cultivating!"
The tall and thin student praised: "Since this is the case, you should not cultivate for the time being, just do this every night!"
Humpty Dumpty nodded repeatedly, then asked, "...... the pay?"
The tall and thin student took out 5 spirit stones from his arms and said, "Pay you half first, and give you the rest after the employer is satisfied, maybe there will be an additional reward!"
......
On March 26, early in the morning, the monthly examination of the fifth middle school arrived as scheduled.
According to the rules, the 200 students will be divided into five groups of 40 students by lottery.
Each of them will have to play 39 matches, with one win worth one point, and the top two teams in each group will qualify for the upper round.
The competition venue for the monthly examination is located in the designated area of the martial arts arena of the house.
The referees are all high-level samurai temporarily transferred from the Criminal Affairs Department of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone has at least enforced hundreds of battles on the Lin'an Dou battlefield, and they are experienced and selfless.
Their presence has brought great guarantee to the fairness and safety of the monthly examination.
Shen Yun's draw is No. 18 in Group A.
Although he was determined to win this challenge, he did not show too aggressiveness in the fight, and forced his opponent to admit defeat almost halfway through the time each time.
The monthly exam is not a life-and-death battle, it is a rare fool who knows that he is invincible and will fight hard.
Shen Yun tied for first place in the standings with a student after winning 30 games in a row.
The thirty-first game was the battle between Shen Yun and the student for the top spot.
Shen Yun fought with his opponent to the end, and when the incense was about to burn out, he deliberately bought a flaw, avoided the weight and received a punch from the opponent, and then retreated to the corner and took the initiative to admit defeat.
After 38 rounds, the top of the list has 38 points, Shen Yun has 37 points, and the third place has 36 points.
The two games lost by the third place were against the top of the list and Shen Yun.
The short and fat student who lives next door to Shen Yun happens to be in the same group as Shen Yun, and the competition between the two is the last of the monthly exam.
If Humpty Dumpty loses this game again, he will have to accept the challenge of the lower student.
As a child of an ordinary scholar clan, if he retreats to the lower house, his popularity in the family is bound to plummet.
In the case of spiritual cultivation and martial arts star realm, the key to winning or losing the battle is the on-the-spot play and adaptability.
According to the strength of Humpty Dumpty, the results should not have been so unsatisfactory.
But for the past few days, he has to harass Shen Yun from time to time every night, and then make up for sleep during the day, his energy has already been overdrawn, how can his grades be good!
On the martial arts field, after the two bowed to each other, they each took five steps back.
Shen Yun already knew the dilemma of the short and fat student, although he didn't want to deal with the other party for the time being, but the opportunity was sent to the door, how could he let it go easily!
Shen Yun carried his right arm behind him, bent his left arm flat in front of his chest, and palms facing outwards, putting on an extremely chic and confident starting pose, waiting for his opponent's attack.
The short and fat student said to Shen Yun with a bitter face: "Senior brother, you probably already know your brother's situation, can you ......?"
Shen Yun said: "If you are willing to tell me who is behind your mastermind, I may consider it!"
The short and fat student lowered his head, as if he was thinking about gains and losses, and suddenly rushed towards Shen Yun with an arrow step, and his right fist hung on the wind and smashed it towards Shen Yun's chest.
Shen Yun's eyes revealed a hint of a joked smile, sideways to dodge the opponent's heavy punch, his legs bent slightly, turned his palm into a claw, and grabbed the opponent's wrist.
Immediately afterwards, I saw him twist his waist and take a wrong step, hunched his back against the body of the short and fat student, and gave him a real over-the-shoulder fall.
This is a move in the palm of Aolai's hand, and it also has the effect of increasing spiritual power.
But in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary wrestling method in the secular world.
The pumpty and fat student was thrown to pieces, and it took a while to slowly get up from the ground.
He glanced at Shen Yun hatefully, and then appealed to the referee: "The martial arts he used are not martial arts at all, it should be a foul!"
The referee said coldly: "The means of being able to defeat the opponent and kill the enemy are the best martial arts, so why foul play!"
"Hahaha!" The onlookers laughed, "People only use the ordinary means of the secular world to throw you like this, what kind of complaints, hurry up and admit defeat!"
The pumpty student was speechless, feeling physically and mentally exhausted for a while, and thinking that the defeat was decided, he did not make any more senseless arguments, and took the initiative to admit defeat.
In this way, Shen Yun got his wish as the second in this group and obtained the qualification for the challenge.
......
On March 28, Lin'an School fought on the battlefield.
"Shangshe Yao Yuan!"
"Shen Yun in the middle house!"
On the fighting platform located in the southwest of the venue, the two students saluted each other, and after reporting their homes, they immediately fought in one place.
In this battle, Shen Yun changed his steady and steady tactics during the monthly exam, and when he came up, he used his calf fist and went all out to launch a strong attack, the other party obviously did not estimate that he would use this kind of fighting style, and soon he was chaotic, and finally hated defeat.
Just yesterday evening, Shen Yun was just about to fall asleep, when he suddenly heard a spiritual sense transmission: "Tomorrow's battle, if you want to win, you should attack strongly!"
Since the other party chose to transmit spiritual sense, he naturally didn't want to meet or was not suitable for meeting for the time being.
It was Shen Yun who didn't get up to look for his trace, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he finally accepted the mysterious man's suggestion.
......
On the twenty-ninth day of March, Shen Yun went home for vacation and told Dong Yuemei and Lu Wei, who were chatting in the hall, the news of entering the upper house.
Although this matter was expected by the two, they still felt very happy after knowing the result.
Dong Yuemei immediately proposed to call Dong Cheng and go to the Shangshanju Restaurant in the city to celebrate Shen Yun.
Shen Yun thought that there was no need to be so extravagant, but Lu Wei strongly supported Dong Yuemei's proposition, and just when the two were at a standstill, Dong Cheng walked into the hall with a letter.
After Dong Cheng greeted Dong Yuemei, he said hello to Lu Wei again, and then handed the letter to Shen Yun.
Shen Yun unfolded the letter and saw that it was actually Lu Heng's handwriting, to the effect that he wanted to invite him and Dong Cheng to the Lu family manor outside the city in the afternoon to talk about family life and reminisce about the past.
After reading it, Shen Yun handed the letter to Dong Yuemei.
After reading it, Dong Yuemei pondered for a while, and said to Shen Yun: "Since the city lord values you and Cheng'er so much, you can go and disturb you in the afternoon." β
Lu Wei pouted: "It seems that Shangshanju still can't eat this meal!"
Dong Cheng said with a smile: "I heard the argument between the two of you outside the house just now, Wei Mei doesn't have to be disappointed, at the end of next month, my cousin will definitely be able to win the first house challenge, then I will be the east, and everyone will go to Shangshanju to celebrate!"
Shen Yun said: "There is only one in the first house and the upper house, not to mention the fifty elites in your first house, even if there are hundreds of students in the upper house who are mediocre, your conclusion is too early!"
Dong Chengdao: "Hehe, in order for me to succeed in breaking the fee, you must also win!"
"Hahaha!" everyone laughed out loud at Dong Cheng's words.
......
In the afternoon, Shen Yun and Dong Cheng left the Dong Mansion and went out of the city to the Lu Family Manor.
On the way, Shen Yun asked, "When will those goods from Wanpin Club arrive!"
Dong Chengdao: "I went to ask again yesterday, and the principal said that he would definitely be able to arrive tomorrow!"
Shen Yun said: "Okay, then tomorrow we will go to pick it up together, and by the way, I will take you to meet a few friends!"
Dong Chengdao: "The director said that he would escort us for free, what do you think?"
Shen Yun said: "That's the best, in this way, you first bring your belongings with them to my cross-courtyard, and then we will go out again." β
Half an hour later, the two came to a lake.
They stopped to look, and saw a circle of white sand banks around the shore of the lake, and rows of tall and straight poplar trees were planted outside the embankment, and the lush branches and leaves danced and rustled in the wind.
Dong Cheng introduced: "This lake is the private property of the Lu family, since Lu Heng took over the position of head of the family, it was named Henghu, from the ferry by boat, you can arrive at the Henghu Manor on the island in the middle of the lake in a quarter of an hour. β
Shen Yun smiled: "It seems that you are a frequent visitor here!"
Dong Cheng explained: "My popularity in Shoushe is okay, let's talk about Lu Heng's youngest son Lu Tao, he doesn't talk to anyone much, let alone socialize, and I happen to be one of his few friends, I have only been here a few times, and Lu Heng's handwriting is also what he handed over to me!"
"This Lu Tao is the leader of your first group A, what is his strength?" asked Shen Yun.
Dong Cheng said cautiously: "If it is only about martial arts competition, Lu Tao should be the strongest of our five chiefs, but if you really want to fight to the death, he may not be the opponent of Cao Qian, the chief of Group B!"
Shen Yun nodded noncommittally, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Could this Cao Qian be the mastermind behind arranging for Humpty Dumpty students to hinder my cultivation?"
Dong Cheng seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked Shen Yun: "Cousin, are you sure that the city lord didn't just let me carry the letter, but wanted me to enter Henghu Manor with you." β
Shen Yun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "In black and white, the writing is very clear, what, do you think he is a Hongmen banquet?"
Dong Cheng asked puzzledly, "What is the Hongmen Banquet?"
The corners of Shen Yun's mouth raised, and he smiled: "It's just going to be under house arrest or kill the two of us!"
Dong Cheng said with a smile: "This is definitely not, he invited you, he must have asked you why your cultivation has improved so quickly, whether you say it or not, he obviously has the intention of wooing you, I just can't figure out why I want to accompany you here!"
Shen Yun thought for a while, and he also couldn't figure it out, so he said lightly: "If you come, you will be safe, and you will naturally know when you go in!"
