Chapter Fifty-Six: A New Man Arrives
Master Hong snorted and said, "What you mean by this is that silver taels can buy the rules of my martial academy?" Then I want to ask you, the rules of my martial academy, how much silver is a pound?"
Shangguan Junfeng hurriedly said: "No, no, I don't mean that, I mean, uh, Senior Brother Jiang is quite expectant to this Junying Competition, and has been looking forward to winning glory for his master in the competition. He once said to me privately that if he could win the ranking in the competition, it would not be in vain for the painstaking cultivation of your masters. I know his nature, but he is in a hurry, but it can be regarded as a filial piety to serve the teacher. I also asked Master Hong to read his thoughts lightly. β
Master Hong squinted at him and said, "You are his good brother, and you are so dedicated to excusing him, but it is useless to say anything now." If everyone violates the precepts, they can be resolved with silver taels, so what's the use of the rules? I know that your family is quite rich, but it is in your own home, in my Tianxing Martial Academy, you have to abide by the rules of my Tianxing Martial Academy. If a person's heart is not right, no matter how good the foundation of martial arts is, my Tianxingmen will not be included. This time the rod will be punished twenty, which is considered a small punishment, and if there is a recidivism in the future, it will be immediately removed from our martial arts academy!"
He didn't allow Shangguan Junfeng to be verbose any longer, and with a wave of his hand, the two Tianxingmen cane-holding disciples carried a bench and pressed Jiang Haoran up, and the two canes rose and fell, making Jiang Haoran's ass crackle.
The law enforcement of this martial arts academy is still slightly different from the main gate of the Tianxing Gate, the protΓ©gΓ© of the martial arts academy is not an official disciple, and when the law enforcement disciple is punished, he will start slightly lightly, so as not to really hurt his muscles and bones. Rao is like this, after twenty canes, Jiang Haoran's buttocks are also blue and red, and it will not be more than ten days, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to recover.
The two disciples stepped forward to help Jiang Haoran up, and Master Hong shouted: "Apologize to Xia Fan and admit your mistake!"
Jiang Haoran gritted his teeth, came to Xia Fan with the support of his senior brother, and said: "Senior Brother Xia, I shouldn't have hurt you in order to want to serve my master, I want to win and hurt you, I hope you will forgive me." β
Master Hong frowned, thinking that this kid's apology was also quite cunning, and he said that he seemed to be loyal, young and worried.
Xia Fan naturally heard that his words were insincere and false, but since the matter had been clarified and the other party had been punished by the cane, he didn't care about himself, and said lightly: "It turns out that Senior Brother Jiang is thinking about serving his master, and he just missed it for a while, so it's nothing, I won't take it to heart." β
Jiang Haoran glanced at him and Yuan Ye respectively, and was helped to retreat.
Master Hong asked Xia Fan, "You were slapped in the lower abdomen just now, how do you feel now?"
Xia Fan said: "It's still a little painful, but I'll just sit quietly for a while." β
Master Hong nodded and said to the disciples: "Today's incident, I think everyone has seen it, we are in the same door, we should love each other, even if there is a competition for places, we should also take into account the friendship of the same family, and do not regard competitors as enemies." This forbidden trick, you have to practice it on your own on weekdays, it was originally used on the real enemy, if you meet a wicked person outside and want to kill you, then naturally any trick can be used, and the more ruthless the better, but treat the same door, you must not use it. I hope that everyone will take today's events as a warning and be self-disciplined. β
He turned back to Jiang Haoran and said, "Jiang Haoran, you were scolded by the cane today, and you can't practice martial arts, so go home to recuperate for a few days, and come back when your injuries are healed." "Tell a disciple to go to the medicine hall to get some bruise medicine and give it to Jiang Haoran.
A storm just subsided for the time being. Shangguan Junfeng watched Jiang Haoran leave, looked back at Xia Fan and Yuan Ye, sneered, and left.
Xia Fan turned around, grabbed Yuan Ye's hand, and said gratefully: "Senior Brother Yuan, thank you for standing up for me!"
Yuan Ye smiled and said: "It's nothing, my master has taught me since I was a child, to be a man to be chivalrous, then Jiang Haoran clearly wants to yin you, I naturally can't stand it." β
Xia Fanqi said: "You have another master, so why do you want to join the Heavenly Star Gate?"
Yuan Ye said: "That was the introductory master I worshipped when I was six years old, taught me for five years, and then left. By the way, then why should Jiang Haoran have trouble with you? You have a holiday?"
Xia Fan snorted and said, "There is no festival, but with his careful eyes, I know that he is afraid that there will be too many competitors and he is not sure that he will be selected, so he wants me to make a fool of myself in front of the master." He was in cahoots with that Shangguan, you offended him just now, and you should be careful in the future. β
Yuan Ye smiled slightly: "I'm not afraid of them." β
Xia Fan and this Yuan Ye were not very familiar with each other, and after a few words of conversation at the moment, this Yuan Ye avoided talking about his master, only picked up some irrelevant words, and never revealed his origin.
After a conversation, Master Hong came over, took Xia Fan's hand, took his pulse, and said, "You were in the palm of your lower abdomen just now, fortunately, there is no big problem." You go back to recuperation today and come back tomorrow. β
Xia Fan's lower abdomen was still aching, knowing that he couldn't practice martial arts today, he agreed, waved at Yuan Ye, and left.
Outside the Dewu Courtyard, Xia Fan looked at the willow tree next to the road and the river not far away, sighed, and sat down on a stone under a tree, feeling depressed.
Although he was not overshadowed by Jiang Haoran today, he had already torn his face, there were many people in those gangs, and he was afraid that he would be in big trouble in the future.
When there was no Junying Competition, although those people were arrogant, they were not deliberately looking for trouble with their peers, and now that there is a competition for places, the nature of people is exposed.
What kind of blind date, helping each other, in front of interests, is all.
Since Jiang Haoran and Shangguan and the others regard themselves as fierce rivals, they are afraid that they will grab the quota for the competition, so why should they fight to the death for this quota and show it to those people.
Xia Fan is also a stubborn teenager, he has made up his mind, and his fists are clenched involuntarily.
Suddenly, a clear voice next to him asked, "This senior brother, may I ask if you are a disciple of the Heavenly Star Martial Academy?"
When I turned my head, I saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy standing beside me. The young man was handsome and elegant, dressed in a silk black robe, with a faint dark gold color, looking elegant and exquisite. Not far behind him, there was a luxurious four-wheeled carriage, and an old man in purple stood beside the carriage, looking at the river with his hands in his hands.
Xia Fan estimated that the person in front of him was a rich man, and he didn't like to deal with this kind of person, but when he saw that the other party asked with a smile and was very polite, he got up and replied: "Yes, I am a disciple of the Tianxing Martial Academy, is the son going to the Martial Academy?"
The young man said: "Yes, I want to join the Heavenly Star Martial Academy, but I don't know how the entry ceremony is, I saw my senior brother sitting here, so I took the liberty to ask." β
Xia Fan nodded and said, "Childe wants to sign up, I can take you there." The tuition fee here is three taels per month, and you must pay ten taels of silver for admission.
The boy smiled: "Ready, ready." In this way, I would like to ask my brother to lead the way, thank you for my kindness. β
When he arrived at the gate of the martial arts courtyard, the young man said to the old man in purple: "Uncle Jiang, you stay for a while, I will come when I go." β
The old man in purple smiled and nodded, waving his hand.
Entering the courtyard, Xia Fan led the way and said: "May I ask Gongzi's surname Gao, enter my Tianxing Gate, we will be senior brothers in the future, my name is Xia Fan, you can call me Senior Brother Xia." β
The boy said: "Hello Senior Brother Xia, my surname is Li, and I am also from this city. β
When I arrived at the registry office, I came out to receive a special person. The boy handed over the silver taels, filled out a few stamps, and wrote his name on the register.
Xia Fan glanced at the side and saw that the word "Li Longyan" was written on the roster.
