Chapter 35: The Chosen Path
When had Wang Yu ever tried to be ridiculed in such a face, he laughed angrily: "Okay! Okay! You kid is really kind, I will make this bet with you today, if you lose, I promise to let you and your Shuwu Hall disappear from Yuanzhou City!"
He looked around at everyone present again: "You all remember the two words that my Wang Yu said just now, if anyone dares to release water in the competition, don't blame me Wang Yu for turning his face and not recognizing people!"
Wang Yu said that the white silk scarf in his hand fell to the ground fiercely, turned around and left, Wang Kuan and several sons and nephews of the Wang family glared at Lu Shaoxi viciously, and quickly followed Wang Yu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wang Kuan said in a low voice: "Cousin, don't be angry, I will take over the Changfeng Shuwu Pavilion, and I will also participate in the half-star assessment, maybe I can meet this kid, and then I will personally beat him into the hospital, so that he can't get out of bed for half a year!"
The rest of the young people are all distant relatives and nephews of the Wang family, and they smiled and said: "Kuan Shao, I'm afraid I don't need you to make a move, there are three less words, and I guarantee that everyone who hears it is vying to be the first and all of them are brave, rushing to beat the kid surnamed Lu into a serious injury and cripple, we just wait to see a good show." ”
The situation at the scene is indeed like this, although no one openly went to trouble Lu Shaoxi, but most people avoided Lu Shaoxi far away. These people don't really hate Lu Shaoxi, and even many people still appreciate this backbone young man, but in the face of cruel reality and power, they all chose to bow their heads without exception. Several of Cai Ge's friends also came over and whispered to persuade the Cai family's father and son: "Brother Cai, you should pay attention not to walk with this kid anymore, Wang Yu is very cautious, beware of him looking for trouble afterwards." Offending the Wang family is no joke. With that, he shook his head and hurried away.
Lu Shaoxi said apologetically: "Uncle Cai, Brother Qian, I've caused you trouble, you go and chat with other people, don't worry about me." ”
Cai Ke said angrily: "Boss, what are you talking about! That Wang family is too much, I support you!"
Cai Qian also said in a deep voice: "The Wang family is too unkind in this matter, Shaoxi, don't be afraid, no matter what, Brother Qi is on your side." ”
Cai Ge glanced at his two sons, sighed, and patted Lu Shaoxi's shoulder: "The matter has not reached the point of no return, no matter what, Uncle Cai will protect you well." ”
Lu Shaoxi looked at the three fathers and sons, and his eyes suddenly heated, he knew that what the Cai family father and son said was true, but because of this, he was even more reluctant to involve the Cai family father and son, Cai Ge worked hard in the hidden martial arts for decades in exchange for his current fame and status, once he clashed with the terrifying Wang family, the network he had accumulated with great difficulty would collapse, for example, the few friends who usually called Cai Ge brothers and sisters just now only dared to remind him and avoided it from aside. Cai Wei is a rising star in the Yuanzhou Hermitage Martial Arts and an outstanding student of the Thunder Academy, with an unlimited future, how could Lu Shaoxi bear to pull him into a conflict with the Wang family? As for Cai Ke, this kid, his martial arts are low, and he is not even a real hermit martial artist, so there is no need to get involved in this struggle.
"Uncle Cai, Brother Qian, Caitou, I appreciate your kindness, but you don't have to worry about me, I will definitely win this bet!" In order not to worry the Cai family's father and son, Lu Shaoxi was extremely confident.
Cai Kuan looked at Wang Yu, Wang Kuan and the others who were far away, and said worriedly: "Shaoxi, I know that your strength has improved greatly compared to before, but I heard that Wang Kuan broke through to the seventh-fold body refining a few days ago, and as for Wang Yu, he is a master of the ten-fold body refining, if you meet them in the competition, you must be careful." ”
It turned out that Wang Kuan was refining his body sevenfold, no wonder he was so confident just now. Lu Shaoxi sneered in his heart, and nodded on his face: "Okay, I'll be careful." Uncle Cai, Brother Qian, Caitou, I have friends over there, go over and get together first, and I'll see you later!"
He saw more and more hostile eyes falling on the Cai family father and son, and knew that any further delay would really affect the relationship between Cai Ge's father and son, so he immediately found an excuse and walked away quickly. In fact, he has only been in the hermit martial arts for less than a year, and he is usually busy with the affairs of the martial arts hall or practicing martial arts, how can he have any martial arts friends, and the only martial arts friends he knows are the Cai family father and son.
Lu Shaoxi hurriedly left the competition venue, took out his mobile phone to check the time, 8:30, there was still almost half an hour before the lottery, and he planned to go back when the time was almost up.
The Hidden Martial Arts Administration Bureau in Yuanzhou covers an extremely wide area, except for the heavily guarded building, the rest of the public areas are much freer, and no one checks it, Lu Shaoxi strolls through it, slowly adjusts his spirit, and tries to make himself the best state, the competition is not only related to the future of the Tianyang Book Martial Arts Museum, but also related to the bet with the Wang family, he must not lose!
Suddenly, someone pulled the corner of his clothes, and then a timid girl's voice came into his ears: "Hello, sir, do you need to buy a bottle of water or a piece of bread?"
Lu Shaoxi raised his head, only to see a girl with mineral water and bread in her hand standing next to him, the girl was at most sixteen or seventeen years old, with a single ponytail, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, melon seed face, indescribably pure and delicate, and spoke softly, giving people a feeling of softness and weakness. She was also carrying a large backpack behind her, which appeared to be full of water and bread.
Lu Shaoxi felt that this girl was a little familiar, and the girl's eyes widened in surprise, and she said happily: "Big brother, is it you?"
Lu Shaoxi immediately remembered, this is not the high school girl he inadvertently saved from the hooligans half a month ago?
"Ah...... Little sister, why are you here? You don't have to go to class today?"
Lin Yurou never imagined that she would meet her life-saving benefactor here, looking at Lu Shaoxi's handsome and handsome face, she was surprised, happy and a little nervous, and replied in a low voice: "Today is Sunday, I ...... My good friend and I went out to do odd jobs to earn some money. ”
Lu Shaoxi has also heard that there will always be some hard-related companies in large-scale events such as the star assessment meeting to take over all the catering and snack businesses in it, and then recruit some part-time college students to help sell it, but I didn't expect that this little girl would use the weekend to run so far to do part-time work when she was still in high school.
However, seeing that the little girl in front of him was wearing a simple autumn dress that was a little white, Lu Shaoxi understood. If it weren't for the family's financial difficulties, what teenage girl wouldn't go out to play on weekends to work part-time?
Lu Shaoxi couldn't help but feel pity: "It just so happens that I didn't eat breakfast, little sister, please give me a piece of bread and mineral water." He was no longer so tight, so he casually took out a twenty yuan and handed it to the little girl: "Don't look for it, you can take it as much as you want." ”
Lin Yurou shook her head and stuffed the bread and mineral water into Lu Shaoxi's hands: "Big brother, don't need money, you helped me a lot last time, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”
"That's just a gesture, you're welcome, take this money, it's not easy for you to come out and do odd jobs at a young age. ”
Lin Yurou said that she didn't accept anything, she bowed deeply to Lu Shaoxi and said, "Big brother, it's just a gesture for you, but for me, it's a life-saving grace, that day...... That day my mother had a high fever, I hurriedly sent her to the hospital, but the money on her body was not enough, I couldn't pay the medicine fee, the doctor refused to prescribe the medicine, I had to hurry home to get it, I didn't expect to meet bad people on the way home, if it wasn't for the big brother you helped, my mother and I were afraid I don't know what would happen...... So, thank you so much!"
Listening to the little girl's sincere and grateful words, Lu Shaoxi was stunned, he didn't know that he was just doing a small thing with his conscience, and he was so helpful to this little girl.
His mood suddenly relaxed.
It's always happy to be able to help others, especially Lin Yurou's words, which made him feel that he had always insisted on the right path.
Over the years, my parents have taught me subtly, and they have long integrated the traditional excellent qualities and standards into Lu Shaoxi's blood and soul. Therefore, in the face of power and oppression, he did not choose to retreat or protect himself like most people, but chose to stand up and resolutely defend justice and his dignity.
Or some people think that he is stupid and irrational, but he always thinks that if he cowers from the pressure of reality and doesn't even have the courage to keep his heart, why should he keep climbing the peak of martial arts?
Only with a clear conscience will there be no hesitation when punching;
Only by standing up to the heavens and the earth, can the Dao heart remain clear forever.
Lu Shaoxi's eyes brightened, and the original trace of grievance and sadness in his heart disappeared, replaced by high morale.
He untied the bread, took a big bite, and smiled, "Thank you, this bread is delicious." ”
Lin Yurou looked at his sunny smile, and somehow her mood became cheerful, she smiled shyly, and when she saw Lu Shaoxi wearing sportswear, she asked, "By the way, big brother, are you here to participate in the National Arts Games?"
The name of the star assessment meeting is "National Art Games".
"Yes. Hearing the bell ringing in the distance at the competition venue to prepare for the draw, Lu Shaoxi ate up the bread in two bites, and drank a few sips of mineral water: "Little sister, the game is about to start, I'll go first." ”
Lin Yurou couldn't help but clench her little fists and said, "Well, big brother, come on!"
Lu Shaoxi smiled slightly, and suddenly pointed behind her: "Hey, your friend is looking for you." As soon as Lin Yurou turned around in surprise, she felt that there was an extra piece of paper in her hand, and when she turned around, Lu Shaoxi had already gone away.
Lin Yurou was stunned, and when she looked down, she saw that there was an extra twenty yuan soft sister coin in her snow-white little hand.
......
When Lu Shaoxi re-entered the hall through the inspection of the competition venue, the lottery had already begun, and the names of the martial arts halls and the names of the martial artists who participated in the battle continued to appear on the big screen.
Lu Shaoxi clenched his fists, and the star assessment meeting finally began! He took a firm step and strode towards the lottery place.
