Chapter 117: Accustomed Pressure
On the street, the sun reflected the figures of the two teenagers.
The endless words go on.
"Are you alright?" Shang Lu asked with some apprehension.
Lu Beichen said calmly, "Do you look like I'm in trouble?"
Shang Lu stared into his eyes and said, "That Li Hanbai has always been arrogant, but after their Li family is a hero who guards the northern part of Middle-earth, they naturally have the qualifications to be arrogant. Although I have always disliked him, I must not offend him, lest I cause trouble for my father......"
Lu Beichen's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and his footsteps finally stopped and said, "You think I'm angry?"
Shang Lu also stopped one after another and expressed his affirmation with silence.
After all, in that environment, in fact, he always felt that he should say more and do something, plus when he saw Lu Beichen for the first time that day, he knew very well what was happening at the scene, but he didn't lend a hand, just watched the excitement from the sidelines, and didn't appear until the end, but he didn't expect this young man to talk to him, and to be honest, he was really a little guilty.
As for Lu Beichen, he was naturally good at thinking and analyzing, and he naturally knew this, but he didn't take these things to heart at all, maybe because his heart was big, or maybe because he had no time to put aside these hypocritical thoughts.
He said calmly, "That person is the young master of the Li family, right?"
"Hmm. ”
Lu Beichen said helplessly, "The famous disciples of the Holy Capital naturally have reasons to discriminate against me, but I don't have the leisure to be angry, besides, I'm used to hearing his words, I'm really used to it......"
"I'm worried, what should you do if he is embarrassed by the national test?" Shang Lu said.
"The national test is fair and strict, and he wants to embarrass me under the noses of so many people, but he also admires his courage. If there really is such a situation, I am not easy to mess with......" Lu Beichen said, his face couldn't help but have a more self-deprecating look, and said, "But I should thank you, I can know so much from you." ”
Shang Lu regained a smile on his face and said, "You're really not angry, do you really want to thank me?"
When Lu Beichen saw his inexplicably excited expression, he had some bad premonitions and said, "What do you want?"
"If you want to repay me, I only need one thing...... Shang Lu said.
Needless to say, Lu Beichen already knew what he wanted, so he naturally put his hand on Shang Lu's shoulder, smiled weirdly, and said, "Who said I want to repay you...... At most, it's just the price of a meal. ”
"Hey Lu Beichen, why are you like this. I just want to see your stone...... Hey......"
Lu Beichen smiled slightly and strode forward.
Shang Lu followed, a little angry.
......
......
The long conversation finally ended, and the two teenagers simply said goodbye and agreed to meet again in a month.
This kind of agreement is naturally said by Lu Beichen, because he has to prepare.
Shang Lu Fangcai was very arrogant and proudly said a very interesting sentence, "To participate in such a major competition, can you prepare to enter the state? ”
So he first looked at it with disdain, and then thought of the situation of the young man in front of him, and there was a little more admiration in his heart.
Shang Lu has always been very disdainful of those cultivators who have studied some things all day long, and also organized various competitions and exchanges on their own, and are so nervous in the preparation stage of the national examination.
When he was six years old, he followed his father to the Holy Capital, and saw a lot of pretending people, so he rarely intersected with those famous children, so that not many people knew him. If you really know his disciples of the same age, you will definitely think that he is too proud, after all, he always puts on a confident and handy appearance in front of others.
But these disciples must not know that in Shang Lu's heart, they feel that they are too pretending.
In his opinion, cultivation should always be a one-person thing. But there are always some people who like to make trouble all over the city, for fear that others will not know his efforts - he has the leisure to spend time talking to the world, pretending to be in front of people, and when it comes to the real critical moment, he will be nervous and cry that his efforts will not be rewarded, which is too hypocritical.
There are also some people who work hard behind their backs, but they don't care about anything on weekdays, and when it comes to the competition, they surprise everyone. It's nothing, the most important thing is that those people still have to add fuel to their stories, and use some means to make the whole Terran world think that he is a talent awakening, which is too hypocritical.
In the Holy Capital for exactly ten years, he had seen a lot of things, but in the end he chose to forget them and become a simple and straightforward person again, but still have to maintain a love-hate attitude.
Can I get ready? I choose not to prepare.
This sentence is not a joke, nor is it a deliberate display of his talent like those people, but precisely his attitude.
And Lu Beichen's attitude made him quite satisfied.
Lu Beichen was a little too indifferent before, so that Shang Lu thought he was the kind of person he hated, but it was very strange that he couldn't hate it, and even admired it a little.
Because it's true enough.
That kind of indifference is not pretending, but really determined.
If you don't build a foundation, then prepare, and you won't secretly work hard and say that you are very good; you have to prepare for the national exam, which is really to prepare, not to show anyone.
Shang Lu looked at Lu Beichen's departing figure, and said that he was very satisfied with this newly made friend, but he was a little worried, did he really want to take the national examination?
......
......
Li Hanbai looked at Lu Beichen's back as he left in a hurry, and naturally felt a lot of resentment in his heart. After all, in front of so many people, that little rabbit cub actually dared to speak like this, which made him lose a lot of face.
However, thinking of the appearance of the cultivation in the national examination, he felt very ridiculous, how could a person who had not even completed the foundation building want to participate in the national examination, would he die?
If it's really a death, Young Master Ben will definitely let you get your wish.
......
......
Lu Beichen walked on the road, adding a lot of pressure to his heart. These pressures are not suitable for being manifested in a single way, but that doesn't mean they don't.
Although what Li Hanbai said was not accurate, and he was not the cultivator who did not have a foundation that day, but to participate in the martial arts test, he still needed to reach the initial enlightenment realm, and to participate in the comprehensive test, he also needed to reach the psychic realm.
How much courage does it take for a teenager who has not yet attained even the most basic initial enlightenment to directly participate in the national examination? This is naturally ridiculous in the eyes of those cultivators who have received orthodox teaching in the Holy Capital since childhood, and I am afraid that not only Li Hanbai, but also many people are waiting to see his jokes.
However, these pressures have become accustomed to appearing in his world frequently, so after a little nervousness, Lu Beichen returned to his original state.
The temperature is a little high at noon, and the white clouds look especially holy in the sunny sky.
The terrain of the Holy Capital is very flat, and the only higher place is a mountain thousands of miles away, called the Holy Mountain. In general, the mountains are relatively quiet, but the sacred mountains are rarely lively.
Even the flow of people near the mountain is extremely dense, so these areas in the central area of the Holy Capital are extremely prosperous, so that when Lu Beichen walked here, the expression on his face began to change more.
The street was full of pedestrians, and some strong men looked around curiously with their chests crossed, as if they were tired from work and stopped to rest.
There were also some girls on the side of the road discussing rouge snow water, the discussion was soft and pleasant, and the contrast was obvious to the wine shop where there were bursts of heroic laughter, and there seemed to be a group of merchants in it, not knowing what excitement was being discussed.
There are some attics in the distance, most of them are gathered some young sons and sisters, young women, leaning on the railing for sightseeing, looking from downstairs, it seems to be a sense of youth and vitality.
