Chapter 24: The Gate of the Grey Mist
Pushing the door in, it was a tall girl wearing a slim white kendo uniform and a single ponytail.
Her delicate face has a cold color, and at a glance, it gives people a strong sense of alienation, which makes people subconsciously dare not approach.
She carried a black sword pouch with a strap that slung from her right shoulder to her left abdomen, with a tempting fold in her white kendo uniform.
It's her!
Leo's eyes condensed slightly.
Ginger Xiaocha!
The number one student in the same period of the Happo Kendo Hall!
Wait, the surname is Jiang...... Leo's brows moved slightly, and only then did he react in hindsight.
She and Master Jiang?
"Grandpa, you ......"
The girl who pushed the door open was about to speak, but when she saw that there were other people in the room, she closed her mouth.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Leo's face returned to normal, and he greeted Jiang Xiaocha politely.
Jiang Xiaocha looked at Leo with doubts in his eyes, and then seemed to remember who Leo was, flashed a hint of abruptness, and nodded to him.
Leo didn't know if a genius as dazzling as she would remember the name of his nobody.
As the only true inheritance among the students of this phase of the Bafang Kendo Gym, Jiang Xiaocha's usual training was not carried out with them, and even the trial in the hall that determines the ranking once a month was specially approved not to participate since she had a tie with a fixed-stage swordsman a year ago.
At that time, Leo was not even in the top ten.
Leo looked at the girl in front of him, and a trace of eagerness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
In the past, I could only look up at her back, even if I chased it desperately, it was to no avail.
And now, does he use the sword in his hand to defeat this unattainable figure in the past?
He's looking forward to it.
"Xiaocha, do you know each other?" Master Jiang asked curiously on the side.
Jiang Xiaocha didn't speak, just nodded gently.
"We are the contemporaries of the Octagon Kendo Gym." Leo withdrew his gaze from Jiang Xiaocha and explained, although he really wanted to have a fight with her, it didn't seem like the right time to do it now.
Jiang Xiaocha seems to have something to find Master Jiang.
Leo owed: "Master Jiang, thank you very much for your solution today, I won't bother, let me leave first." ”
After saying that, Leo turned his head and prepared to leave, but at this moment, Master Jiang stopped him.
"Leo Xiaoyou, wait a minute, this is my business card, you can contact me if you need it."
Leo took a black and gold business card that was very elegant and delicate at first glance, saw the three big characters "Jiang Jianzhong" on it, and the row of numbers below, and nodded.
"Thank you."
……
After Leo left, only Master Jiang and Jiang Xiaocha were left in the room.
"Grandpa, you seem to be interested in him?" Jiang Xiaocha's eyes flashed thoughtfully.
How many people are eager for grandpa's business card but can't get it, but now he takes the initiative to give it away.
She said she wasn't interested, she didn't believe it.
"Hehe, a very interesting child, in him, I see 'potential'." Master Jiang smiled slightly, and didn't explain too much: "Xiaocha, what's the matter with coming to grandpa?" ”
"Potential ......" Jiang Xiaocha's eyelids drooped, her eyes moved slightly, and she repeated the word, and then raised her head to look directly at Master Jiang's gaze:
"Grandpa, the Alliance Branch would like to invite you over to take a look. It is said that there is movement in the gray fog door that appeared on the outskirts of the North District a few days ago. ”
"Oh......" The smile on Master Jiang's face slowly converged: "Interesting, it seems that the specifications this time are not ordinary." ”
"I see, I'll go over and have a look later."
"Grandpa." At this moment, Jiang Xiaocha took a deep breath and looked at the old man: "What exactly is the Gate of Gray Mist?" The alliance is very secretive, and you will not tell me until I become a Dingduan swordsman. ”
"But my strength is no worse than that of a fixed-stage swordsman, why do you have to be obsessed with me becoming a fixed-stage swordsman!"
The sound echoed through the room for a long time, for a long time, and gradually became silent.
Looking at his granddaughter's stubborn gaze, Master Jiang's eyes were slightly in a trance, at this moment, he seemed to see a familiar figure, and that day many years ago, he also sent a loud inquiry to himself.
After a moment of silence, Master Jiang sighed: "Xiaocha, it's not that Grandpa doesn't want to tell you, it's just that before you become a fixed-stage swordsman of the Alliance, knowing these will only harm you." ”
"It's almost there, there is less than a month left, and when you become the Dingduan swordsman of the Alliance, Grandpa will tell you everything he knows."
"But now, no."
Hearing the last gentle but firm words, Jiang Xiaocha pursed her lips vigorously, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.
In the empty room, Master Jiang closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly.
……
In the corridor with the red carpet, Leo leaned against the wall, he was originally going to wait here for Jiang Xiaocha to come out, and then try to make a fight.
But looking at Jiang Xiaocha, who slammed the door and came out, and the cold color on his face was permeating at the moment, Leo raised his right hand and silently put it down.
It seems that we can only wait for next time.
Looking at the girl's distant back, Leo sighed in his heart.
Shrugging, he turned and went downstairs.
As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a surprised voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Mr. Leo?"
"Huh?" Leo turned his head when he heard this, "It's you, Zhang Li's sparring partner?" ”
"It's me." Zhang Li waved hello with a smile on his face and approached: "Have you come to the club to train again?" ”
"No, this time I made an appointment to meet at the club." Leo smiled politely.
"I thought I was displeased with you last time." Zhang Li said half-jokingly.
Please don't say such misleading words.
Leo complained in his heart, but his face remained unchanged at all: "You said that you laughed, I learned a lot from the last battle." ”
"How's it going, are you interested in another battle?" Zhang Li invited with a smile.
"Uh...... It's too expensive for me to afford. Leo told the truth, and didn't feel embarrassed.
He's not a guy who likes to slap his face and be fat.
Students, no money is cold.
Leo's words made Zhang Li's eyes move slightly, and his gaze quickly swept over Leo's wrists, clothes, and other parts, knowing that his judgment might have been slightly wrong.
He retracted his gaze and smiled: "Mr. Leo, if you think the cost is too expensive, you can register as a sparring trainer at the club, so that you can use the club's grounds and equipment for free, and of course, if you are interested in taking orders, you can also have an additional income." ”
"Registered Sparring Trainer?" Leo raised an eyebrow. "What are the requirements?"
It doesn't matter if he earns income or not, the main thing is that he feels that the position of sparring partner seems to be quite suitable for him.
"Generally speaking, if you want to become a sparring partner of the Yijian Club, you need to have participated in at least one swordsman fixed stage competition and pass the test of strength. But if it's Mr. Leo, you'......"
Zhang Li patted his chest vigorously: "I can be your guarantor, so that you only need to pass the club's strength test to become a sparring partner." ”
