Chapter Twenty-Three: Martial Arts Ranking Competition

The door of the private room opened again, and the delicacies were served.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Ma Xue'e felt that her saliva was going to stay, of course, this is just a description. She has noble blood in her body, even if she has lived in the mountains and forests since she was a child, she can't erase the innate elegance and nobility.

Although it is greedy, it is not indecent at all, but it makes people feel cute and interesting to watch.

The dishes on the table are decreasing at an absolute rate, and the biggest contributor is Ma Xue'e. It's not that Luo Changning and Ma Qingyun are not as fast as her, but they drink and eat at the same time, and occasionally sandwich peanuts and peel edamame.

While drinking, Luo Changning watched Ma Xue'e sweep the food on the table like a gluttonous cat, and was very curious about how she could eat so many things as a thin girl, and eat so quickly and so beautifully.

"Brother Ma, let's have a toast, thank you for your advice to me today." Luo Changning raised his glass and leaned in front of the silent Ma Qingyun.

Ma Qingyun also raised his glass, and the two touched lightly and smiled at each other.

Drink all the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the friendship between friends and soulmates is all in the wine.

Before leaving, Ma Xue'e said to the shopkeeper that she would definitely come back next time, which made the middle-aged junior smile like a chrysanthemum, obviously liking this cute and innocent girl.

When he returned to the Su family's courtyard, it was already approaching evening, and Luo Changning put the dim sum packed from Goldman Sachs Restaurant for Su Qinqin and Qinggu in the gazebo. Everyone had tea and lotus seeds picked at Beimu Lake in the morning, and enjoyed the flowers and plants while eating.

And Ma Xue'e in order to comfort the big stupid bear who lost her temper, she reluctantly cut two pastries.

Soon, another day passed, and Luo Changning was still sitting on the bed and cultivating his internal strength as before. He didn't dare to be proficient in the room, otherwise he would definitely make a mess of the room, and Qinggu complained to him about the atrium when he had tea in the afternoon.

Time flies like a white horse, and in the blink of an eye, the Ma family brothers and sisters have been living in the Su family's courtyard for more than two months.

During this period, Ma Xue'e successfully "hooked up" with Su Meng, and spent all day either eating, drinking, and having fun, or learning medical knowledge from her. Of course, the Gu poison technique is an ancestral secret skill, and it is not passed down.

And Ma Qingyun and Luo Changning often learn martial arts, saying that they are learning, but the gap between the two is too big, in fact, most of the time Ma Qingyun is guiding him.

Coupled with Luo Changning's own diligent cultivation, his martial arts realm has also improved rapidly, successfully opened up the second pulse of Ren Du, and his internal strength has reached a higher level.

On this day, Luo Changning was meditating and practicing in the atrium, and Ma Xue'e was sitting bored on the stone table, propped up on the table with one hand, and supported her chin.

While watching Luo Changning meditate and cultivate, she was eating pastries, and the big stupid bear was sitting on the grass, with a plate of beef jerky in front of her, and one person and one bear were eating happily.

Ma Xue'e said coquettishly: "Brother Changning, when will you finish your cultivation?" Let's hang out together. ”

Luo Changning was concentrating on meditation and did not hear her complaining.

Just when she was so angry that her cheeks were bulging, Qinggu came to the atrium to report that Xiang Yinglong had something to find the young master, and she was waiting in the front hall at the moment.

Luo Changning slowly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "I know Qinggu, I'll go." ”

"Okay, you brother Changning, I talked to you just now, you couldn't hear it, but now you can hear it." Marcelle stood up and stomped her feet.

Luo Changning was speechless, he really didn't hear it just now.

"Don't be so stingy, girl, I'll take you to meet a friend later." Luo Changning said as he walked towards the front hall.

Ma Xue'er snorted coldly and followed, the big stupid bear looked left and right, didn't know what was going on, shook its big head, and continued to fight with the beef jerky in front of him.

Before he arrived in the front hall, he heard Xiang Yinglong's loud voice, rough and loud.

"Why hasn't Luo Changning's stinky boy come yet, I've been waiting for him for a long time."

"Xiang big guy, who do you call a stinky boy?" Luo Changning scolded with a smile and stepped over the threshold into the front hall.

"Hehe, I don't know which stinky boy hasn't been going to see Lao Tzu for more than two months." Xiang Yinglong said as he sat on a chair.

He was about to tease Luo Changning a few more words, when he saw Ma Xue'e, who was wearing a pink dress, also came to the front hall.

Obviously still immature and not yet developed, but it gives people a bright style of peach blossoms in March. But a pair of apricot eyes are looking forward to shining in the future, purity and charm complement each other, seducting people's souls and moving people's hearts.

Because in the Su family's courtyard, Ma Xue'e did not change her appearance, so what Xiang Yinglong saw at this moment was her original appearance. Luo Changning is not taboo about this, because he and Xiang Yinglong are so good that they only grew up wearing the same pair of pants and can trust each other.

Xiang Yinglong's face turned red suddenly, he stood up in embarrassment, rubbed his hands and said, "This, this...... I wonder who this girl is? ”

Luo Changning looked at his good brother inexplicably, I don't know which tendon he has a problem, he always looks like a big grin on weekdays, but now he has learned to be shy. He looked at Ma Xue'e behind him and said secretly: Is it because of the little girl?

At this moment, Ma Xue'e also saw Xiang Yinglong with an embarrassed face, looked at him curiously, and saw that he had a righteous face, not like a bad person.

So he came up to him and said with a smile: "My name is Ma Xue'e, what about you?" ”

"I ...... I, Miss Ma, long time no see. No, it's the first time we've met, hehe. My name is Xiang Yinglong, and I am Luo Changning's good brother, and I ask Miss Ma to take care of me. After saying that, he scratched his head and became even more embarrassed, his face was as red as a monkey's ass, he was incoherent, and he didn't know what he said.

Xue'e, Ma Xue'e...... Hehe, this name is really nice, at first glance it is a young lady from a big family.

Luo Changning couldn't see his friend's appearance, so he interrupted: "Say, what is the matter with you coming to me?" ”

Xiang Yinglong patted his head and said with a look of annoyance: "Ouch, you see why I forgot my business." Hehe, Luo Changning, do you remember the martial arts ranking tournament I told you before? No, the scale of our martial arts hall is not comparable to the Holy Hand Martial Arts Gym. The quality of the disciples is not very good, there are few who can get their hands on it, and the few senior brothers who can do it are not in line with the age. No, I thought of you to see if you could go to Heishui County with me and my father to participate in the martial arts ranking competition. ”

Hearing this, Luo Changning muttered in his heart: I guessed that you came to me for this matter.

He had a twist of thought, intending to tease his silly brother. So he pretended to be unhappy and said: "Brother Xiang, I haven't seen your figure for more than two months, but now I have opened my mouth to ask for help." ”

Xiang Yinglong's big man has always been a rectum, and he doesn't have those curves in his stomach, and he can't see that Luo Changning is teasing himself.

His eyes widened, and he said hurriedly: "Aren't I preparing for the martial arts ranking tournament?" I've been stepping up my martial arts cultivation for more than two months, and I'm so tired that I've taken off several layers of skin, but I'm tossed enough to choke, and it's not that I didn't mean not to come to see you, why are you so stingy? ”

Luo Changning was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ma Xue'e, only to see that her cheeks were bulging with anger, and she said coquettishly: "Brother Changning, why are you so stingy?" We're all good friends, so what's wrong with doing you a favor? ”

That's it, Xiang Yinglong nodded wildly on the side and echoed Ma Xue'e's words.

Luo Changning looked at the two of them as if they were denouncing themselves, and he was also speechless, and hurriedly explained: "Haha, I was just teasing Brother Xiang, everyone is a good brother, how can you not help." Isn't it just a martial arts ranking competition, I'll go, just to see what level of my strength is. ”

Don't look at Ying Long's silly appearance on weekdays, he still knows the overall situation at the critical moment.

Zhengse said: "This martial arts ranking tournament is of great significance to me and my father, as well as to the Luoyang martial arts hall. In the previous few sessions, they were all won by the Holy Hand Martial Arts Gym, which caused their prestige to become higher and higher in the Autumn River Mansion, and their strength was far superior to our Martial Arts Gym. If you lose again this time, I'm afraid, even my father won't be able to shake Gao Ba. ”

Gao Ba relied on the strength of the Gao family and the Holy Hand Martial Arts Gym, as well as his innate skills at the peak of entry, on the surface, he had a benevolent and decent demeanor, but in fact, he secretly did a lot of things that hurt the heavens and reason.

even connived at his only son Gao Haitian to do evil, bully men and women, and harm the people.

Xiang Yinglong's father, Xiang Ao, the owner of the Luoyang Martial Arts Hall, was born as a lay disciple of Buddhism. has always been bold and righteous, and he is not used to the hypocrites of Gao Ba. It's not his opponent, and he can't control him.

Of course, Gao Ba can't help Xiang Ao and Luoyang Martial Arts Hall. Because Gao Ba has always been a lay disciple of Buddhism, Buddhism has always protected his shortcomings, and lay disciples are even more united and mutually helpful, provoking one is equivalent to provoking a group of lay disciples.

If Gao Ba made a move to deal with Xiang Ao, he would inevitably be retaliated, which was not something he could bear. What's more, there is no big conflict of interest between the two martial arts halls, and Gao Ba will only go to provoke the Luoyang Martial Arts Hall if he is idle.

However, Yuanshui has never been able to solve the near fire, and Xiang Ao feels that it is better to improve the strength of the Luoyang Martial Arts Hall as soon as possible, so that it is better to deal with the Holy Hand Martial Arts Hall and the Gao family, and return the peace of the party.

This martial arts ranking tournament is an opportunity, although Xiang Ao also knows that the chance of winning is almost zero, but he still wants to give it a go, how do you know that he will lose if he hasn't tried it?

No, Xiang Yinglong thought of his good brother, Luo Changning. He pondered that Luo Changning had made rapid progress during this time, and he was already a martial artist in the day after tomorrow, so he might be able to win a few games in the competition.

Luo Changning, as Xiang Yinglong's good brother, has grown up together since he was a child, and he also knows the reason.

He thought for a moment in his heart, thinking: Although my martial arts have indeed made rapid progress during this time, I am afraid that it is still not enough. The Holy Hand Martial Arts Hall has a long history, Gao Ba is an innate martial artist, and most of his disciples are good at martial arts, but I am afraid that even if there is one more of themselves, it is unpredictable.
