Chapter 111: Tinglan Sword Pavilion
"The boy you asked me to check, I found it for you."
Wu Shiya, Li Ruoqing's kindergarten hair, a straightforward and capable short-haired girl, with a charming appearance, especially her curved eyebrows with her gentle and generous signature smile, even if she is not a school flower, her popularity among boys is quite high.
She is the vice president of the student union, and she knows a lot of friends, and wanting to inquire about Ning Yi's news is just a trivial matter for her.
"I didn't expect you to be this kind of boy, it looks ordinary, what do you like about him, tell me."
Wu Shiya smiled, and her slender fingers inadvertently stroked the pale pink lip, which had a heart-warming charm.
Pretty short hair, heroic and capable, some elementary school girls in the first year of high school seem to like this popular aesthetic sister very much.
However, this charm is obviously useless to the ice beauty Li Ruoqing.
"Okay, okay, really, just kidding."
Wu Shiya saw Li Ruoqing standing there quietly, but she didn't speak, so she had to put away her curiosity and tell her good friend the news she had inquired about: "That boy's name is Ning Yi, and his family is very ordinary, but it is said that he and Su Qi from the martial arts club are childhood sweethearts." ”
"You're not going to snatch love, are you?"
When mentioning "Su Qi" and "childhood sweetheart", Wu Shiya also secretly glanced at Li Ruoqing's expression, hoping to see something.
However, she was disappointed, Li Ruoqing was still too calm.
She just nodded solemnly, indicating that she had heard.
"Na, I helped you find out the news, two weeks later, the theatrical performance, you can learn about Entu."
Li Ruoqing's sword dance was performed once at the freshman welcome party in high school, which was quite amazing.
Two weeks later, in the evening, the school organization department will hold a theatrical evening, because it is said that there are superior leaders to inspect, so now there is a lack of a high-grade program as the finale of the whole show.
Wu Shiya looked at Li Ruoqing with blank eyes, and finally waited for an affirmative answer.
"Okay."
Since Li Ruoqing promised, she would definitely do it, and she would do her best, so Wu Shiya left satisfied.
"Ningyi."
Gently chanting these two words, Li Ruoqing kept them firmly in her heart, and from today onwards, this will be her goal.
For the first time in her life, there was someone she wanted to challenge no matter what.
Competition, not because of competitiveness, but to prove themselves, women do not let the eyebrows.
……
Tinglan Sword Pavilion, in Shanghai, is still a well-known martial arts hall.
Located in the downtown area, the building with an ancient courtyard-like structure has its own rockery fish pond, which has a kind of quiet effect.
And the hall here is named Li Longsheng, his identity is not simple, he is a martial arts master known as the first swordsman in East China.
His disciples include many dignitaries and wealthy merchants.
Compared to a hundred years ago, in today's silver age of mankind, martial arts not only stopped the trend of decline, but gradually flourished.
The progress of science and technology has greatly improved medical technology, but health is always a problem no matter what era it is.
More and more scientific studies have shown that it is impossible to obtain a healthy body by taking medicine alone, and only by insisting on reasonable and orderly exercise can you live longer and more comfortably.
Therefore, in today's era, martial arts halls are flourishing again, and many qualified young people, whether male or female, whether they are to maintain their body shape or play cool, there are many people who learn martial arts.
Strong demand naturally brings huge profits.
Therefore, listening to the business of Lan Sword Pavilion, it is very prosperous, but it is precisely because the business is too prosperous that Li Longsheng has a headache for this.
He has no children under his knees, only one daughter, and after a hundred years, the martial arts hall is afraid that there will be no one to inherit it and it will fall into the hands of someone with his surname.
It's not that it's this era, and it still discriminates against women, but to say something practical, you can't find a son-in-law and let your grandson take her mother's surname.
It's this era, and there are really few men who are willing to do this kind of work as a door-to-door son-in-law.
What's more, although the Li family has been passed down for a long time, it is only a martial family, not a wealthy family, and if you want to find a reliable son-in-law, you don't have that condition.
It is precisely because of this incident that Li Longsheng has been worried.
"Father, I'm back."
Li Ruoqing, who was wearing a school uniform, entered from the main entrance of the Sword Hall, obviously just after school at noon.
"Well, ready to wash your hands and eat, your mother specially made your favorite kung pao chicken today."
For his daughter, Li Longsheng is 120% satisfied.
Qingli is a tall girl, inherited the excellent genes from her parents, beautiful and intelligent, especially in the martial arts, Li Ruoqing can be called a talent, but Li Longsheng is the only one in his life.
Changing into pure white home clothes, Li Ruoqing quietly helped her mother serve food to the table.
Looking at the quiet and leisurely appearance of his own pearl in the palm of his hand, Li Longsheng secretly sighed: My daughter is good at everything, and the only thing that is not good is that she is not a man.
With such a big family business as the Sword Pavilion, I'm afraid it won't be able to continue to be passed on in my own vein.
In fact, the Li family is not only Li Longsheng, after all, it is a martial arts family that has been inherited for more than 300 years, and it is the most normal thing to spread out.
It's just that in this generation, Li Longsheng's personal achievements are the highest in the clan, and the Tinglan Sword Pavilion, which he personally sits in, has also gained a foothold in the circle of high society.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that Li Longsheng had no children under his knees, the other branches of the Li family began to have the idea of listening to the Lan Sword Pavilion.
This is also the reason why Li Longsheng always looks melancholy on weekdays.
Halfway through the meal, Li Longsheng received a phone call, although he hid in the side hall to talk, but it seemed that because of the fierce quarrel, when he returned to the dining table, his face was still blue.
Mother Li stopped the dishes and chopsticks and glanced at her husband worriedly: "Second uncle calling again?" ”
Li Longsheng's younger brother, Li Xingpeng, had already split up ten years ago, and he inherited another martial arts gym in Shanghai, but unfortunately it was not very successful.
It is precisely because they are brothers that the business gap of the Sword Pavilion will have such a stark gap and contrast in everyone's eyes.
Li Xingpeng is the most cheerful in the branch, and he has always hoped to snatch the Tinglan Sword Pavilion from Li Longsheng through intra-clan competition.
Of course, Li Xingpeng knew that he was not Li Longsheng's opponent, so the ones who wanted to participate in the competition were naturally the juniors in the family.
Looking at her father's regretful sigh, Li Ruoqing felt a pain in her heart: "I'm full." ”
"Xiaoqing, why did you eat so little today?"
Mother Li asked a few words with concern, but she didn't get a response from her daughter, so she had to shake her head with a headache: "This kid, his temperament is really cold." ”
After eating lunch and resting for half an hour, Li Ruoqing did not go to the lunch break, but held the long sword in her arms, found a secluded corner in the sword hall, and practiced secretly.
Her swordsmanship is fast, accurate, and sharp, and she is worthy of being a martial arts genius who has only been born in hundreds of years in the family.
But even if he is a genius, he is still limited by the laws of this world, and the martial arts skill of swordsmanship cannot be achieved by talent alone, but must be supplemented by diligent practice.
What's more, Li Ruoqing knows her weakness as a girl, and there is still a gap in her strength compared to boys, so she can only take the dexterous route.
The thin Yungang soft sword, under the wave of the slender jade hand, is like a flower butterfly dancing in the mountain stream, ethereal and graceful.
Her swordsmanship is not only swordsmanship, but also an art, a beautiful material.
Bang Bang Bang ~
Crisp applause came abruptly from behind the girl.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Senior Sister Qing, your swordsmanship has improved a lot."
The person who opened his mouth was named Zhang Shaoxuan, the elder brother of Tinglan Sword Pavilion, who was said to have an extraordinary background, and his father was a lieutenant general in the army.
Handsome and handsome, gentle and elegant, at an altitude of more than one meter and eight, Zhang Shaoxuan is very poetic just by standing there, like a prince charming who will only appear in a girl's dream.
"Wow, it's Senior Brother Zhang!"
"Senior Brother Zhang has come to see Senior Sister Qing again."
There are familiar female students who start to make fun of the two.
Although he has never confessed, U read the book .net, but Zhang Shaoxuan's thoughts about Li Ruoqing, it is really Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it.
"Xiaoqing, it just so happens that I'm itching, why don't we make a few moves?"
Zhang Shaoxuan is like a skilled hunter, although the goal is clear, he never takes it lightly, but uses various covers, slowly approaches, gradually becomes familiar, and finally captures it in one fell swoop.
Li Ruoqing's cold face did not change in the slightest, and she only responded lightly to Zhang Shaoxuan's invitation: "Okay." ”
"Then junior sister, you have to be careful, look at the sword."
The agile movements, the sword light, like thunder, are dizzying.
Zhang Shaoxuan is also a martial arts genius, and he has a large skeleton and is born with a pair of ape arms that are over the knee, which makes the effective distance of sword fighting longer than that of ordinary people, so he has a clear advantage in actual combat.
Ding~Ding~Bell~Bell~
The long swords clashed, and the crisp sound echoed in the sword hall, weaving into a beautiful movement.
"That's amazing!"
Some of the students who had just joined the Sword Pavilion were already stunned.
Li Ruoqing and Zhang Shaoxuan's skills are unusually powerful, which feasts the eyes of the onlookers.
"It won't be Senior Brother and Senior Sister Qing, the swordsmanship is amazing, I don't know when we will reach this level."
Some old students are looking forward to their future, and they take Li Ruoqing and Zhang Shaoxuan as examples for comparison and reference.
"Don't dream, with your qualifications, practicing swordsmanship on weekdays is also three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, and you can't reach this level of practice for another hundred years."
No matter what you do, if you want to achieve results that exceed ordinary people, you usually have to put in more effort than ordinary people, and pie will not fall from the sky.
However, everyone was envious of Li Ruoqing, but they didn't know that Li Ruoqing was impatient and anxious at this moment.
