How could Xu Lingjun have known that because of his casual words, two classmates who once offended him and even wanted to kill him would suffer from unexpected disasters...
If he had known earlier, he would have ntioned more of those who usually harbored animosity towards him.
After all, not everyone could be as big-hearted as Guo Zheng and Li Lei to beco friends with him.
Due to his appearance, those male classmates were no longer willing to understand Xu Lingjun’s inner self... the only ones wanting to understand him were those superficial female classmates.
After school.
When Wang Qingya returned ho and saw the ss, the floor tiles had been crushed, the pipes beneath had burst and were leaking, the wall paint was mostly peeled off, coupled with the bloodstains everywhere, it looked just like...
A murder scene.
And even more so than yesterday.
When she found out that an assassin attempted to kill Xu Lingjun, she imdiately checked him over. Only after confirming he was not hurt did she finally relax.
She didn’t even bother to scold Xu Lingjun for turning their ho into such an unlivable state.
When Sun Lingli and Feng Zhichen arrived and saw the scene,
and learned that the assassin targeting Xu Lingjun was a mber of the Mysterious race,
Feng Zhichen sensed sothing amiss and said guiltily, "I’m sorry, Xu Xiaoyou. It seems you’ve been dragged into this because of ."
Wang Qingya asked in surprise, "Does this have sothing to do with you, Instructor Feng?"
Sun Lingli explained, "My master has been devoting himself to promoting his Martial Skills in the military over the years, contributing to the Polar Star Battlefield. He’s persuaded many Upper Realm Grandmasters to share their unique skills. Although he rarely fights due to his age, his actions have elevated the entire battlefield’s combat power by more than a level, causing as much damage to the Mysterious race as an entire army."
"Just trying to ease my guilty conscience."
Feng Zhichen sighed, "Years ago, because of my narrow-mindedness, I did sothing terribly wrong, causing the death of Lingli’s father and many soldiers who sacrificed for Blue Star. Since then, my conscience has been uneasy. When I broke through the Profound Realm, I even faced inner demons and left unrepairable wounds, leaving my cultivation stagnant. Later, I saw through it all, cast away all my knowledge selflessly, and, as a result, my stagnant cultivation progressed."
He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I can’t say I was entirely selfless. Maybe that in itself is a form of selfishness. I worked hard to research Martial Skills for those soldiers, gaining spiritual satisfaction and thus advancing my cultivation."
"No matter the reason, my master beca a thorn in the side of all Mysterious races because of it."
Sun Lingli whispered, "I didn’t expect that even after my master retired and went into seclusion, they still wouldn’t leave him alone."
"It’s my miscalculation."
Feng Zhichen sighed, "Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyou was unhard in the incident. Otherwise, I could never atone for it. I never expected those Chi Yu Race mbers to be so persistent. Instead, I feel a sense of pride. It seems that the Baoyan Army Legion has caused them considerable damage."
Xu Lingjun asked with surprise, "Baoyan Army Legion?"
Sun Lingli said, "It was established under my master’s suggestion, becoming the Tenth Army outside the Polar Star Ninth Army. Comprised of individuals of absolute integrity, they were personally trained by my master. The fifteen thousand soldiers are like his disciples, learning the profound Martial Skills he painstakingly developed. My master invested everything he had, providing vast resources. In just a few years, their individual combat capabilities surpass the top of the other armies. It is said that they have once defeated the Chi Yu clan soundly!"
Baoyan Army Legion?
Xu Lingjun wondered if they had any connection to Baoyan Martial Arts Hall.
"I’m sorry, Xu Xiaoyou. I truly didn’t expect these Chi Yu Race mbers to be so relentless or that they would risk exposing themselves just to kill you, all to catch off guard."
Xu Lingjun mused that they didn’t expose their identity willingly but rather out of necessity.
It seems that female Martial Artist misunderstood when she saw explode with Blood Qi, thinking I couldn’t hold out for long.
But unfortunately...
My endurance is far beyond what you can imagine. How long can you really withstand ... anyway, I’m far from reaching my limit yet.
He comforted, "Elder Feng, you don’t need to bla yourself. The enemy’s attempt to assassinate is their own intent, not your plan. You don’t have to take responsibility for the enemy’s actions."
"But I am undoubtedly a walking disaster now; wherever I go, disaster follows. If I had known, I shouldn’t have left the Imperial Capital so easily!"
Feng Zhichen sighed, "Xu Xiaoyou, it seems I should leave early tomorrow morning. Hmm... Young friend, your talent is outstanding..."
Mid-sentence, he bitterly smiled and said, "Forget it, never mind."
He glanced at Sun Lingli.
Sun Lingli finally reacted, exclaiming, "You... you’re leaving?"
She glanced at Xu Lingjun and then at Wang Qingya, said with lancholy, "But... but I’ve been feeling that my learning progress has sped up. My accuracy on judgnt questions has reached 50%, and not entirely by guessing."
Indeed, although her progress has been slow, she truly felt improvent, finally understanding a small portion of the questions.
Those things, along with other Life No.1 drinks, are really different, seemingly more effective... of course, mostly due to the power of love.
But if I leave...
Wang Qingya said, "Our bet still counts. Let’s use the Dragon Gate Examination to see how many tis you can surpass him, okay?"
"Thank you, Sister Yaya."
Sun Lingli was then overjoyed and exclaid, "I will try my best."
Feng Zhichen gave Sun Lingli a surprised look, not expecting his disciple to be so determined... but it was a good thing; perhaps she would surprise him at the Dragon Gate Examination.
The master and disciple bid farewell.
Upon leaving the Xu Family, Sun Lingli asked, "Master, were you thinking of taking that Xu classmate as a disciple?"
"I wanted to ask if he was interested in West Origin Martial Mansion. If he was, I could take him as a disciple. You could be like bright twins among siblings, a good story to tell."
Feng Zhichen hesitated, then smiled bitterly, "But he didn’t seem interested. I hinted several tis before, and he deftly avoided it. He has his intentions and won’t easily be swayed... better not to bring sha upon myself. Lingli, accompany to Baoyan Martial Arts Hall to take another look."
Sun Lingli pouted, "I don’t want to go. I dislike those two brothers."
"Let’s go. Don’t you know why they want to plot against Xu Xiaoyou? From now on, stay within my sight."
Feng Zhichen sneered, "Though I am old and have hidden wounds, those Chi Yu Race mbers only dare resort to underhanded tactics. If they dare face directly, I’ll teach them a lesson."
"Alright."
The master and disciple left together.
anwhile, inside the house...
Wang Qingya gave Xu Lingjun a surprised look and asked, "Elder Feng seed to want to take you as a pupil. You’re not interested?"
"Why do you think I didn’t join the Sun and Moon Bright Sect?"
Xu Lingjun sighed, "The effort and reward don’t equate, besides... this Elder Feng is too pragmatic, not a good fit for ."
Wang Qingya was surprised, "Isn’t being pragmatic a good thing?"
"Not necessarily in so respects."
Xu Lingjun thought, I like people who boast, but Feng Zhichen, he always speaks with humility. He’ll use seven-tenths of power but claim it’s full power; the power of ’Qiantian Gang Qi’... had he boasted a bit more, it could be stronger.
This kind of person doesn’t suit .
Besides... although he has many Martial Skills, if I draw upon Talent Source, the acquired skills are probably superior to his.
This man is indeed admirable, but it’s not worth becoming his disciple.
"Alright then. It’s your decision to make,"
Wang Qingya glanced around the now-tattered ho, sighed, "We’re probably unable to live here in the short term. I’ll arrange for repairs tomorrow; in the anti, we’ll have to stay at a hotel."
She paused, saying, "Let’s use your card then."
"Okay."
Wang Qingya explained, "Don’t misunderstand, it’s not that I’m reluctant to spend money. My card is tied to my father’s number. If he found out I got a room with you, he’d definitely call to say sothing weird again."
"True."
Xu Lingjun, recalling Father Wang’s ways, couldn’t help but nod in agreent, saying, "And spending a woman’s money on a room would also give a psychological burden."
