With the end of the college entrance examination, the martial arts hall has entered the off-season for business. In the lounge, several girls are laughing and joking.
Suddenly, a girl turned her attention to the girl sitting alone by the window, hugging her knees and dazing.
"Xiaoxuan, do you want to eat hot pot together tonight?"
"I'm not going."
Jiang Xuan came back to her senses and shook her head.
"What's wrong with you recently? You seem to be worried every day, and you've lost weight."
The girl sighed, looked at Jiang Xuan's pointed chin, and couldn't help but ask.
"I'm fine."
Jiang Xuan forced a smile.
"It can't be because of... that person, right?" The girl sat next to Jiang Xuan and whispered: "Are you still thinking about him?"
"Ah, who is it? Xiaohong, don't talk nonsense." Jiang Xuan was a little flustered.
"Well, actually we all know that." The girl named Xiaohong sighed, "Isn't it obvious enough that you have learned so many massage techniques from Mrs. Zhang, but you never accept other people's massages?"
Jiang Xuan was speechless for a moment, just pursed her lips, and her pretty face, which was already a little pale, lost all color.
"By the way, what is your relationship with him? Where are you at?"
Xiaohong continued reluctantly, "Tell me the truth, sister, if he is sorry for you, even if he is the number one scholar, I will... I will..."
Xiaohong thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any effective threat method. She was a little discouraged at first, and then gritted her teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, I will post on the Internet, I will hire trolls, and let's expose this scumbag!"
"Are you crazy?"
Jiang Xuan was shocked, and quickly covered Xiaohong's mouth, "Don't make wild guesses, I have nothing to do with him, and he hasn't sorry for me, so don't mess around!"
"Looking at how nervous you are, you are really deep in it." Xiaohong became even more worried, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I...I don't plan to do anything."
Jiang Xuan shook her head and lowered her head in disappointment, "It's good just like this. I couldn't have anything to do with him in the first place. He is the top martial arts champion in the country. Our lives should not have any intersection." p>
"Actually, you know, Sister Xiaohong, a reporter came to interview me a few days ago and I was very scared. I was afraid that if I accidentally said something wrong, it would affect him..."
Seeing the tears falling down the girl's face, Xiaohong hugged Jiang Xuan distressedly, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
At this time, the door of the lounge was pushed open, and the head of Zhu Deyong, the manager of the martial arts gym, poked his head in.
"Are they all here?" Zhu Deyong smiled and scanned around, and finally settled on Jiang Xuan, "What's going on? You're crying... Just in time, Xiaoxuan, a guest is ringing your bell, so get ready." "I'm not going." Jiang Xuan shook her head without thinking.
"That's not possible, you have to go this time." Zhu Deyong shook his head.
Jiang Xuan, who had never been forced by Zhu Deyong, was stunned for a moment, but then she mustered up the courage and shook her head again, "I...I won't go."
"If you don't go, you will be fired. Have you thought about it?" Zhu Deyong said seriously.
"Then I won't go either." Jiang Xuan bit her lip, but still shook her head firmly.
It was obviously a meaningless thing, and she didn't know what she was insisting on, but she couldn't disobey the voice in her heart.
"If you really don't go, I'll call someone else. Don't regret it." Zhu Deyong's tense expression suddenly changed, and he said with a half-smile.
Only then did Jiang Xuan slowly come to her senses, Zhu Deyong had never been a person who would force them.
She thought of something, her heart seemed to be grabbed, and even breathing became a little difficult. A strange flush appeared on her face, "You, you mean..."
"What else?" Zhu Deyong said angrily, "I didn't expect that I would become a bully in your heart, so don't worry!"
"Go, go, I'll go!"
Jiang Xuan struggled down from the chair excitedly and fell to the ground amidst Xiaohong's exclamation.
Her knees hurt a little, but Jiang Xuan's mouth burst into an unprecedented smile.
……
In the diamond training room on the fourth floor of the Budokan, Shen Qian, who had just finished a wave of iron, was staring at the ceiling in a daze.
He just contacted Ouyang Fei, Gu Zifang and others.
Shen Qian's original idea of going out for a bit of fun was only because of the two of them.
In fact, this is also the choice of many top martial arts students after the college entrance examination.
Experience is just one reason.
Another extremely important reason is...to make money.
Being poor in literature and rich in military affairs is not just a matter of words, and after the college entrance examination, all students entering the martial arts university will also face what may be the largest expenditure in the next few years.
That is the purchase of military equipment.
The notice from Jiangzhong Military and Military Forces that Shen Qian received was attached with a list, which is the case for all martial arts universities. It will list various equipment needed during college.
Take Jiang Zhong’s military requirements as an example.
It includes X1 psychic weapons of E level and above, X1 psychic armor of F level and above, a set of standard psychic basic practice guns (excluding bullets), as well as locators, goggles, and various protections for body training.
Utensils, etc.
In addition, there are also martial arts books jointly produced by the Ministry of Martial Arts and the Ministry of Education that must be purchased at once.
Compared with this huge one-time expenditure, the annual tuition fee of Wuhan University, which starts at 100,000 yuan, is a trivial matter.
Of course, as long as your martial arts scores are good enough or the university you are admitted to is good enough, the Ministry of Martial Arts, the Ministry of Education and various local institutions will have subsidy policies.
For example, Shen Qian received 15 million in psychic store redemption coupons, but he had already used 10 million to purchase space crystals.
Even though he spent 10 million, Shen Qian's own assets still exceed 20 million. Logically speaking, he does not have such worries.
But there is a premise, that is, if his requirements are not high, it really does not cost much to buy these things.
But the requirements before sinking cannot be low.
Who would choose to use inferior ones when they can use good ones?
According to my experience after shopping around the psychic store in Beidu last time, 20 million will be spent in just an instant.
This is still taking into account that Yu Shousi has promised to give Shen Qian a piece of psychic equipment from Jiangzhong Junwu's own military factory, which can be regarded as helping Shen Qian share part of the burden.
There will be more places to spend money in the future.
It’s always good to make more money.
Even the second generation from wealthy families like Gu Zifang and Ouyang Fei cannot rely solely on their families to solve their problems.
That’s why we came up with a plan for everyone to meet up and experience each other.
Shen Qian doesn't care whether he has to form a team with others, but at least in the early stage, he needs to learn some experience.
Shen Qian was thinking about it, and he didn't know when there was a black necklace in his hand, which was Tantaiqin's space crystal.
"I didn't expect that Tantai Qin was also a poor man."
After Shen Qian checked the contents of the necklace, he felt a little dumbfounded.
Originally, Shen Qian thought that a top mountain and sea would have a lot of wealth, but when his consciousness connected to the crystal space, he realized that he had thought too much.
There was nothing else inside except a pile of dry stones, some daily clothes, and about 100,000 yuan in cash.
Those stones that have lost their spirituality are probably what the system calls "source stones", but the energy inside has been sucked dry by the system.
But when I thought about it, it was normal. Warriors who were on the rise could not have much savings.
If you don’t use the money to improve yourself, why don’t you keep it as a legacy?
If you get some treasures and sell them when you don’t need them, who will keep them?
Shi Dingyan seems to have 90 million in savings, but for his level, it only takes an instant to spend it all.
In fact, the most valuable thing is the necklace itself.
According to the market price, considering that this space crystal has a storage space of five cubic meters, it is probably worth more than 300 million.
It's a pity that this necklace cannot be sold.
Boom!
A knock on the door interrupted Shen Qian's thoughts.
Shen Qian gathered his thoughts and said, "Please come in!"
The door was pushed open, revealing a girl wearing a blue cheongsam.
It's been a while since I last saw Xiaoxuan, and she seems to have lost a lot of weight...the stockings on her legs are a little loose.
"You, you're here." Xiaoxuan lowered her head uncomfortably as Shen Qian watched.
When the girl put down the box, she was about to take off Shen Qian's shirt. A complicated expression flashed across Shen Qian's face, and then he held the girl's wrist and stopped her.
"Xiaoxuan, wait a minute."
"Ah?"
Jiang Xuan raised her head blankly.
"No massage today, let's chat."
Shen Qian smiled and asked Jiang Xuan, who was a little overwhelmed, to sit down.
"Why?" Jiang Xuan was a little nervous for no reason, "Did I press something wrong last time?"
"No, it's just... the kind of chat between friends. Didn't we say that we are already friends?"
Shen Qian looked at the girl's haggard cheeks, and the complexity in his eyes became more intense.
"Oh." Jiang Xuan nodded and sat down next to Shen Qian, but she didn't know what to say.
"Xiaoxuan, I remember you told me that you seem to be an orphan. Can you tell me more about your life experience?" Shen Qian asked.
Jiang Xuan subconsciously raised her head and saw that there was nothing unusual about Shen Qian's expression, so she felt relieved.
"Actually... there's nothing to say. I don't have much memory of my parents. They both left when I was very young. But I still have an older brother, but he was gone later, leaving me alone. ."
Jiang Xuan whispered.
"Your brother...do you know him?"
"I know, his name is Jiang Chengye, and he is also the number one scholar."
Jiang Xuan glanced at Shen Qian quietly, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth for no reason.
"Do you know about him?"
Shen Qian was a little surprised, because he had never heard Jiang Xuan mention it before, and he thought that the other party didn't know these things. After all, Jiang Xuan seemed to be only ten years old when Jiang Chengye had the accident.
"Of course, Uncle Hu... he is a very kind grandfather and even took me to visit the tombs several times."
"Then...are you still feeling uncomfortable?" Shen Qian asked after a moment of silence.
"I actually don't remember much about him anymore." Jiang Xuan shook her head, "I was too young at that time, and now so many years have passed. Maybe I felt very uncomfortable before, but now I don't feel anything at all."< /p>
Shen Qian felt a little relieved. Time can indeed heal a lot of things. Maybe this is better for Xiaoxuan.
Although they are blood relatives, they all have their own lives after all.
I don’t have much to say about Jiang Cheng Ye Shenqian. I don’t know him well and don’t understand him well, and I don’t bother to care about his life or death.
But regardless of whether Shen Qiancheng admits it or not, he cannot care less about Jiang Xuan after all.
Occasionally in the dead of night, Shen Qian would carefully analyze his heart.
Am I a scumbag?
Am I not a scumbag?
The final conclusion Shen Qian came to... was that there was no conclusion.
Regarding love, everyone except Ding Yi is confused.
He would stare blankly at Jiang Xuanbai's raw thighs, and he couldn't help but think of Eighth Senior Sister's damaged Taoist robe. Even the last time he ate peaches at Eighth Senior Sister's place, Shen Qian had the urge to tease her.
And that night when he pinched Huo Ling'er's face, I still remember the tofu-like touch.
And no one can give him the answers to these things.
He can only follow his heart and take time to see himself clearly.
"Why did you ask me this today?" Xiaoxuan said curiously.
Shen Qian finally made up his mind and suddenly turned around and asked: "Xiaoxuan, have you thought about the future?"
"In the future?" Jiang Xuan was startled.
"Is it possible that you plan to stay at Kyushu Martial Arts Hall for the rest of your life?" Shen Qian said with a smile.
"No, no..." Jiang Xuan shook her head in panic, "I, I also want to change my job."
"Stop changing jobs, how about just changing your life?"
"Ah?"
Jiang Xuan was at a loss again.
Shen Qian raised his hands, and Jiang Xuan discovered that Shen Qian's hands were already holding a pile of books.
"Little girl, I see that you have wonderful bones and extraordinary talents. You are a martial arts wizard who is rare to see in a century. Please pick one of these secret books."
Shen Qian said seriously.
Jiang Xuan was stunned, staring at the books in a daze.
"Basic Illustrated Manual of the Human Body in Martial Arts", "Morning Breathing Exercises", "Basic Martial Arts Illustrations", "Nutritional Combination - Compulsory Course for Physical Fitness"...
Those familiar yet unfamiliar words seemed to have some kind of magic power, directly attracting Jiang Xuan's mind.
"Since you like it, I'll give it all to you."
When Shen Qian saw that Jiang Xuan didn't pick up on his jokes, he stopped teasing her and gave her more than a dozen basic martial arts books.
This book list was carefully considered and determined by Shen Qian this morning after discussing with Shi Dingyan. It is the most suitable introductory book for Xiaoxuan's situation.
In fact, Shen Qian asked Shi Dingyan to make three reading lists, two of which were for his parents.
But Xiaoxuan's situation is different. When Shen Qian held her wrist just now, he probably felt her energy and blood.
The result is similar to what Shen Qian thought. Xiaoxuan's foundation is really not as weak as imagined.
First of all, although Xiaoxuan only graduated from high school, she has received a full eleven years of compulsory education and has experience in martial arts.
Secondly, Xiaoxuan is Jiang Chengye's biological sister. Although I don't know what adventures Jiang Chengye has, in theory, it is impossible for the other party to miss her sister during his peak period, and he probably also intended to help her lay some foundations.
How to change Xiaoxuan's life that is slipping towards the bottom?
Being a warrior is naturally the fastest.
Even social warriors live a much better life than ordinary people.
Regardless of the relationship between a man and a woman, just the fact that the other party has "served" her wholeheartedly for so long is worthy of Shen Qian's help.
