Chapter 023: Warmth
The martial arts tournament is located in the north of Nobe Town, and it was already evening when Ai wanted to return to Aunt Xue's house in the West End.
"I'm back." Pushing open the door of Aunt Xue's house, Aunt Xue and Uncle Moen in the living room have been waiting for a long time.
"Uncle Morn, why did you get out?" Hurriedly closing the door, Ai Xiang asked with concern.
"Xiao Ai, are you participating in the martial arts conference?" Looking at Ai Xiang in front of him, Moen's face showed a hint of softness. At this time, Ai Xiang finally realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Looking at Aunt Xue who was quiet not far away, Ai wanted to find that even Aunt Xue was very silent when she looked at her at this time.
"You know it all."
"Can you not know? Now the neighbors are all spreading the word! ”
Uncle Moen's words silenced Ai Xiang. In fact, when he decided to participate in the martial arts conference, Ai Xiang knew that this matter could not be hidden. After all, as a big event in the town of Nobel. The martial arts tournament has a strong reputation. When he hadn't entered the top 32, maybe Ai Xiang could hide it from Aunt Xue. However, when Ai wanted to enter the top 32. It also means that Ai wants to be exposed to Uncle Moen.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to participate in the martial arts tournament, can you tell me why?" Ai Xiang's performance softened Uncle Moen's tone unconsciously. For a few months, Uncle Moen was familiar with Ai. Ai Xiang is not the kind of person who likes to compete for the limelight. If it was for the sake of fame to participate in the martial arts tournament, then Uncle Moen would not believe it.
"I want to win the championship."
"Nonsense, what nonsense! You are a twelve-year-old boy, why should you fight someone when it takes months to even have a basic martial art. You must know that the people who participated in this competition are all masters of our Nobel Town, and even some strong people who have come here in recent years, even if I go up, it is just to deliver food. Uncle Morn's face changed.
"Go, I don't want you to win the championship. Retire! Although Uncle Moen's tone was very tough, the concern in his words could not be concealed.
"No, I want to try." A hint of firmness flashed in his eyes, and Ai Xiang's strong combat strength was in front of Uncle Moen. No matter how Uncle Moen pulled, Ai Xiang couldn't move.
"Okay, Moen, don't force Xiao Ai either. Xiao Ai is also an adult now, and I believe that Xiao Ai is also measured. Stopping Moen, who was unchanged, Aunt Xue said slowly.
It's not that Aunt Xue doesn't want to stop Ai Xiang, but Aunt Xue understands better. Once it is something that Ai wants to decide, then no matter how much he tries to dissuade him, it is useless. Ai Xiang has a strong assertive attitude about these things.
"It's really decided." His hands slipped limply from Ai Xiang's body, and a wry smile appeared on Moen's face.
"Well, don't worry! Uncle Moen, I didn't do it on the spur of the moment, I think I know very well how unrealistic my idea is, but I want to try. His eyes looked directly at Uncle Moen, and Ai's determined appearance made Uncle Moen in a trance for a while. Ten days ago, when Ai wanted to learn the skills of a hunter from him. It is also with this kind of eyes that he looks at himself, this kind of determined gaze.
As Ai Xiang said, this is not a spur of the moment. In order to win the championship of the martial arts competition, Ai Xiangke has been working hard to prepare. In the end, you can get the qualification to challenge that guy openly. Of course, Ai Xiang will not say anything about this.
If it was in a martial arts tournament, then the black dragon would not be associated with Uncle Moen. If this makes this fight seem like an accident, then no matter how angry the black dragon is, there is nothing he can do about it. Because at this time, reputation will be the best umbrella for Ai Xiang. Once the black dragon makes any moves, then the Ryan Martial Arts Hall and Mayor Nobe will not allow it. Moreover, Ai wanted to understand that the Lane Martial Arts Pavilion and the government were very willing to see this kind of scene.
Ai Xiang's words silenced Moen, and Moen understood what Ai Xiang meant. After all, Moen has been watching Ai Xiang exercise with his life in the past few days. In order to become stronger, Ai Xiang is already different.
"If it's really dangerous, then throw in the towel! You're young!" Moen's face showed a hint of pity.
"Don't worry! I'm not pedantic. I take my safety more seriously than anyone else. Ai Xiang's face showed a playful look.
Some things are better kept from them. Uncle Moen: They just need to know what to be happy about. As for the rest, I'll take care of it! Ai thought so.
"Alright, alright. The food is going to be cold, so hurry up and eat! Seeing that the atmosphere between the two of them finally eased up, Aunt Xue hurriedly entertained.
"Yes! My stomach is starving. ”
"Then let's eat it!" When Aunt Xue helped Uncle Moen to take a seat, Ai Xiang and the others finally started eating.
"It's so fragrant, the food cooked by Aunt Xue is really delicious!" Ai Xiang kept eating the food in the rice bowl, and his heart was full of happiness. Looking at Ai Xiang's appearance, Aunt Xue was very satisfied, and a faint sense of warmth was permeating.
The next day, Ai Xiang finished his daily workout. Under the instructions of Aunt Xue and others, Ai Xiang went to the martial arts conference again. However, compared to the previous days. At this time, Ai Xiang was undoubtedly much better, because Uncle Moen entrusted him with a skateboard he played when he was a child.
It's a blue-and-white skateboard that looks very simple and straightforward. Although it has been a few years, the skateboard is still very well maintained by Uncle Moen. Except for a few scattered corners, on which the years have left their mark. The rest of the place is still as good as new.
"This is what I got out from under the bed, even though it's been a long time. However, it should still work. This will make it a lot easier for you. Uncle Morn said.
As Uncle Moen said, the road to the martial arts tournament had already become congested. If it's skateboarding, then Ai Xiang can get to the martial arts tournament faster.
"Xiao Ai, you have to cherish this skateboard! You know, Moen was working on this skateboard for a long time last night. Covering her mouth, Aunt Xue said with a smile.
"Yes." As soon as the words fell, Ai Xiang waved his hand and left.
"It's going to be fine!" Looking at Ai Xiang's back, Aunt Xue lost her mind for a moment.
"Well, it'll be fine." Turning his head to look at Aunt Xue who was worried, Uncle Moen's face showed a hint of tenderness. His right hand grabbed Aunt Xue's waist and hugged Aunt Xue into his arms. In the corner where Uncle Moen couldn't see, a blush flashed across Aunt Xue's face.
"After all, little Aike is very powerful." Uncle Moen said in a sonorous voice.
