In Zhongzhou, a country with a population of 1.6 billion, if the officials summarized various information and compiled a list of the top ten masters in the country, Zhongzhou Military General and Sky Academy Principal Zhuang Huayang would definitely be among them without any suspense.
Zhuang Huayang is now in his seventies, but he pays great attention to health maintenance and his terrifying fighting ability shows no signs of declining for the time being.
A few years ago, when a conflict broke out again between Zhongzhou and a certain foreign force that had been lingering on the border, Zhuang Huayang personally took command and went to the border to command. At the moment of the decisive battle, the old man who was already in his sixties personally took action in the final decisive battle, alone.
One man pursued the enemy for nearly 200 kilometers, killed nearly 800 special warfare elites from foreign forces in one night, and escaped unharmed. After this battle, the old man gradually declined under the suppression of another special warfare academy, the Deep Sea Academy.
His reputation soared again, completely surpassing the dean of the Deep Sea Academy, Admiral Chen Songlin.
In recent years, the annual year-end exercises of Sky Academy and Deep Sea Academy have become more and more intense and bloodshed. There may not be students from both sides who want to fight for their principals and deans.
Zhuang Huayang values health preservation. Even in the Sky Academy where there is an aura of iron blood and tension everywhere, he has never wronged himself. Instead of being wronged, he has built a modern villa that can be called a luxury house in the central area of the Sky Academy with great fanfare.
The villa covers an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. There are hundreds of kinds of flowers scattered around the outside, forming a large garden surrounding the entire villa. The fragrance of flowers can be smelled all year round. There is also an exquisitely shaped pool in front of the villa. The interior is
The living water is clear and supports hundreds of ornamental koi. On the left side of the pool is a bamboo forest, opposite to several fruit trees on the right side of the pool. Under the bright sunshine, the breeze floats, the bamboo leaves flutter, and the flowers sway.
Among them, it is like being in a paradise, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Like Li Tianlan, Qin Weibai also came to Sky Academy for the first time, and it was also her first time to come to the residence of Zhuang Huayang, the legendary general of Central Continent. So when she approached the building almost covered with flowers and plants under the leadership of Yu Donglai,
When surrounded by the villa, a look of astonishment subconsciously appeared on the delicate face.
"Isn't it surprising? This old guy behaves in a sinister and sleazy way. He looks more manly than anyone else when it comes to his work, but in his heart he likes to play with these flowers and plants, saying that they can cultivate his body and mind."
"When I was young, I scoffed at this, but it was only in recent years that I became convinced. Twenty years ago, in terms of combat effectiveness, I could definitely defeat this old guy with all my tricks, but now? Hehe,
I guess he only has the qualifications to cause some trouble for this old guy. This guy is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. It can be said that there are details everywhere, and the flowers and plants outside are just an insignificant part."
Yu Donglai, who was walking in front, seemed to have seen Qin Weibai's expression, pointing at the flowers and plants around him and smiling.
"It's really rare, old man, do you have time to be humble? Principal Zhuang is indeed strong, but it is not the same as it was a few years ago. As you grow older, your strength will definitely decline. Even if there is a gap between the two of you now, there will be no difference.
Is it as exaggerated as you said? It’s just a hair’s breadth.”
Qin Weibai retracted his gaze from the surrounding flowers and plants, and joked in a relaxed tone.
"A slight difference?"
Yu Dong shook his head mockingly: "You don't understand martial arts, and your strength has reached the level of Old Man Zhuang and I. It seems like a slight difference, but in fact it is a huge difference between heaven and earth. And now, even a slight difference is a big difference."
I put gold on my face. I am an old guy who can't stand firmly in the Thunder Realm and will retreat to the fire at any time. I am really old. I can't compare with the old man Zhuang who is at least not weaker than the peak of the Thunder Realm. This
It’s not humility, it’s the truth.”
"is that so?"
Qin Wei's white eyes flashed, thoughtfully. She undoubtedly had a pair of extremely bright eyes, and her eyes were full of aura, which made her whole person's attractiveness skyrocket.
"That's true. But what Lao Yu said is right or wrong. If it's a life-and-death fight and a fight, I'll go all out. It won't take five minutes to kill Lao Yu. But if it's not a head-on fight, with an immortal opponent like him,
I won’t be able to sleep either.”
A gentle voice sounded from the edge of the pool in front of the villa, interrupting Qin Weibai's thoughts.
Qin Weibai's expression was cold and calm, he raised his head and looked at the man holding a handful of fish food in his sight, and said calmly: "Principal Zhuang?"
"I am Zhuang Huayang."
The man smiled and nodded. Judging from his appearance, no one could imagine that he was an old man of the same age as Yu Donglai. They were both seventy years old. Yu Donglai already had a wrinkled face and a rickety shape.
Zhuang Huayang was tall and straight, with black hair, and looked energetic, like a middle-aged man who was not yet fifty years old. He casually sprinkled all the fish food in his hand into the pool, and the koi fish in the pool were surging and splashing. See it with your own eyes
After seeing all this, Zhuang Huayang's smile became gentler. He glanced at Yu Donglai and said with a calm smile: "Old Yu, who is this?"
"Qin Weibai, the little girl who studied cooking with me for a while, I told you."
Yu Donglai said with a smile, his eyes falling on the koi carps competing for fish food in the pool, a little absent-mindedly.
Zhuang Huayang's eyes narrowed slightly and asked: "Mr. Qin of Xianqin International Group?"
"it's me."
Qin Weibai's tone did not fluctuate at all: "Principal Zhuang, it's our first time meeting you. Nice to meet you."
"It's my honor."
Zhuang Huayang smiled, not hiding the amazement and admiration in his eyes: "I have long heard that Mr. Qin is the most beautiful woman in Huating. I always thought it was an exaggeration before, but now I see the real person and realize that this is an exaggeration. It is clearly true.
That’s a humble statement.”
"The principal praised me."
Qin Weibai smiled politely, with a calm expression, but calmly ignored Zhuang Huayang's surname. The difference of a simple word, but the distance was obvious.
"This is not an award. Mr. Qin deserves the four-character evaluation of the country's beauty and fragrance."
Zhuang Huayang smiled heartily and said: "Come on, let's go in and talk. Lao Yu hasn't been here for a while, and Mr. Qin is an honored guest. One of my students sent over some good tea some time ago. Let's have a taste today."
"If you don't mind the principal, just call me Xiao Qin or Xiao Bai. Calling me Mr. Qin sounds too unfamiliar."
Qin Weibai followed Zhuang Huayang into the villa and said casually.
Zhuang Huayang paused as he stepped onto the steps of the villa. With his back to Yu Donglai and Qin Weibai, his eyes instantly became deep and distant.
Calling Qin Weibai of Xianqin International Group a novice?
Not everyone can have this kind of qualification.
Although Zhuang Huayang is the general of Zhongzhou, he also does not think that he has this qualification.
Xian Qin International Group is an emerging group that has emerged from Huating in recent years. Its main business is venture capital. In terms of scale, Xian Qin International can be regarded as a first-tier group in the entire venture capital industry in Huating and even Zhongzhou. This emerging group has
The operation mode is extremely high-profile, but on the contrary, their boss Qin Weibai is very low-key and never accepts any interviews. He even rarely goes to their company headquarters in Huating Center Building. This also makes Qin Weibai
The woman who is only twenty-four years old has an extremely mysterious color about her body.
In Huating's upper-class circles, almost everyone knows about the Pre-Qin International Group, but when it comes to Qin Weibai, far fewer people know about it. Only those who are truly at the peak of Huating's wealth know that this young woman is a member of the Pre-Qin International Group.
The CEO of the group.
If that's all, Zhuang Huayang thinks he can feel at ease calling Qin Weibai "Xiao Qin". However, various data show that Pre-Qin International Group is only a part of Qin Weibai's strength revealed to the outside world. It may be an exaggeration to say it is the tip of the iceberg, but it is
It is certain that a Pre-Qin International is definitely more than all Qin Weibai possesses.
She is little known in Huating and Zhongzhou, but in some specific high-level circles, she has attracted the attention of countless big shots.
The higher these circles go, the more dazzling the mysterious aura around Qin Weibai becomes.
Qin Weibai, 24 years old, female, born in the year of Rabbit.
Nine years ago, he came to Huating from a mountain village in the west of Zhongzhou. Eight years ago, Qin Weibai, who was only 16 years old, left Zhongzhou illegally. When he reappeared in Huating three years ago, he was already a businessman worth tens of billions.
Strong woman.
What’s even more puzzling is that after this woman who didn’t seem to understand martial arts at all came back from abroad, she was surrounded by a lot of masters. Xian Qin International Group seemed to be just a venture capital group, but the masters who had entered the four realms of martial arts inside were...
No fewer than twenty, which is still the most conservative estimate.
In Zhongzhou, a country with 1.6 billion people, how many people can enter the four realms of martial arts? Even if there are not many people who can enter the most basic air control realm, a venture capital company has so many masters, which naturally arouses the concern of Huating and Zhongzhou Security
Ministry's attention.
The investigation team of the Ministry of Security entered Huating directly without any hesitation. A certain senior deputy minister who was known for his combat prowess personally led the team. The investigation was carried out with great fanfare, but in the end it came to nothing.
It is said that during the investigation, Qin Weibai personally went to Youzhou, the imperial capital, and then naturally entered the high-level view. In less than three days, all the investigation teams of the Ministry of Security were evacuated, and the development of Xianqin International Group began.
Smooth sailing too.
Even though Zhuang Huayang is a general of Zhongzhou Kingdom, he is still a little confused about Qin Weibai's affairs. He can vaguely realize that Qin Weibai has at least one network in the capital that is almost universal, and it is even very likely that he is someone in the political circle.
Giant, but this speculation is just a guess and has not been confirmed.
After the investigation team of the Ministry of Security withdrew from Huating, the Pre-Qin International Group never received help from any force in the imperial capital. When a few people in Huating were still speculating about Qin Weibai's background, there were only two people in Huating.
The young woman in her teens has allowed most people to see her series of domineering, strong, cold and sharp tactics.
In general, Qin Weibai is very likely to be a person with a background of Tongtian, and it is also possible that she is a woman without any power behind her, but in any case, such a teenager who dares to smuggle out of the country only needs
For a young woman who has accumulated such a large fortune in less than ten years, no one is qualified to underestimate her.
Zhuang Huayang didn't know what kind of power Qin Weibai had in his hands, but he was certain that even if the power in his hands was not enough to shake him, the general of Zhongzhou, at least there was no need to come over and flatter him.
In this way, Zhuang Huayang was almost certain that Mr. Qin came to the door unexpectedly to ask for something.
The three of them entered the luxuriously decorated villa one after another. Instead of entering the study, they sat down directly in the living room. While Zhuang Huayang personally took out the tea set and added water to make tea, the old principal of Sky Academy glanced at Qin Wei, who was sitting elegantly on the sofa.
Bai suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Qin must be going to the Three Treasures Hall today for everything, right? I like to get straight to the point, so if Mr. Qin wants anything from me, Laozhuang, just ask, I won't refuse and do it if I can do it."
If not, I will make it clear and explain the business clearly. I will call you Xiaobai and you will feel at ease. Do you think this is the truth?"
Qin Weibai and Yu Donglai were stunned at the same time.
"Ahem... I mean Lao Zhuang..."
Yu Donglai coughed dryly, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Zhuang Huayang with a wave of his hand and a smile: "Old Yu, don't talk. Today is the day for admission to Sky Academy, but I have already taken care of Qingyan's affairs, so I conclude that you are fine.
I came here specifically today, probably because I was asked to be a lobbyist by Mr. Qin, right? Now that Mr. Qin is in front of me, what else do I need you to say? Wouldn’t it be better to listen to her? That’s it, Mr. Qin will say it first.
Let’s get down to business, let’s have tea.”
Yu Donglai gave a bitter smile, looked at Qin Weibai with some embarrassment, and said helplessly: "This old guy has this temper, it's okay, girl, just say what you want, if this old bastard refuses to agree, I won't leave today.
"
"Since the principal said so, I won't be polite."
Qin Weibai looked at Zhuang Huayang generously and said in a calm tone: "I brought Mr. Yu here today because I want to ask the principal to help take care of a new student."
"who?"
Zhuang Huayang raised his eyebrows. Although his smile remained unchanged, his eyes became sharper.
"Li Tianlan."
Qin Weibai's tone became softer.
"Why is it this kid again?"
Contrary to Qin Weibai and Yu Donglai's expectations, Zhuang Huayang did not rush to agree or refuse, but instead frowned and muttered to himself.
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Weibai's attention suddenly became completely focused, he looked at Zhuang Huayang and asked in a cold tone.
Zhuang Huayang was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't hide it from Mr. Qin. An hour ago, a big shot personally called me and personally named Li Tianlan, a new student, and asked me to take good care of him."
"But the care he mentioned seems to be a little different from Mr. Qin's care. The other party clearly said that he would train Li Tianlan hard until he died, and then he would give my son a promotion and a salary increase. I can still work for one more term.
Principal. If you can't kill me, give my son a promotion and a salary increase. I can also serve as principal for one more term. I haven't figured out what the other party means, but you guys are here and asked me to take care of Li Tianlan by name. Mr. Qin,
How do you want me to take care of him? Kill him? And keep him?"
Qin Weibai was happy and angry, calm and thoughtful.
Yu Donglai asked subconsciously: "Lao Zhuang, who called you?"
"I can't say it, I can't say it."
Zhuang Huayang said with a smile, but his eyes were observing Qin Weibai's expression.
"Principal, is this the call from Zhongyuan Province?"
Qin Weibai suddenly asked.
Zhuang Huayang's palm trembled slightly, and he almost dropped the teapot on the ground when he originally went to pick up the teapot.
"Central Plains Province?"
Yu Donglai was even more astonished.
The provincial capital of the Central Plains Province is Luojing. Although it is one of the major economic provinces in Central Continent, it has not been very prominent in politics and military affairs in recent years. In the entire Central Plains Province, if there is really one person who can be regarded as a big shot by Zhuang Huayang
If someone...
"Could it be..."
Yu Donglai opened his mouth, but before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Qin Weibai: "If I guess correctly, it should be that one, principal. I don't know if I am right?"
Yu Donglai subconsciously shut up, but his mind was filled with confusion.
That person from Zhongyuan Province has nothing to do with the case back then. Why is he suddenly paying attention to Li Tianlan now? He also gave Zhuang Huayang an instruction to get a promotion and salary increase if he killed the person, and if he didn't kill him, he would get a promotion and salary increase.
What the fuck kind of attitude is this?
"I do not know."
Zhuang Huayang quickly put away his shocked expression and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin didn't say who it was, how can I answer? Is it possible that Qin is always trying to trick me?"
Qin Weibai smiled calmly, took the initiative to change the subject, and said slowly: "I came today to ask the principal for something. In the exercise between the two colleges in a year's time, I hope Tianlan can get a quota to represent the Sky Academy. In addition, I hope Tianlan can get a place to represent the Sky Academy.
, If possible, I also want a promise from the principal to keep Tianlan alive within one year."
"What can I get if I agree to Mr. Qin?"
Zhuang Huayang asked bluntly.
"If the principal can promise and do it, then I owe the principal a favor, and I will repay it when the time is right."
As expected, Qin Weibai came to the door empty-handed and offered nothing, only a verbal promise.
Blank check?
Zhuang Huayang chuckled: "What if I don't agree?"
Qin Weibai lowered her eyebrows, and her face that was so beautiful that it seemed unreal suddenly appeared to be well-behaved and docile, but her words had nothing to do with being well-behaved and docile: "From my debut to now, whenever I want to owe others a favor, others seem to
He doesn’t have the right to refuse, even if he is the principal of Sky Academy.”
Yu Donglai's expression froze, and he suddenly felt that this conversation might be bad.
Zhuang Huayang did not get furious. Instead, he narrowed his eyes, extended his thumb and praised, "What a courage."
"you flatter me."
Qin Weibai's tone became calmer: "Principal, I will leave Central Continent tonight and will come back in a year at the latest. During this period, if something happens to Tianlan in Sky Academy, the entire Sky Academy will be my fault."
Qin Weibai’s sworn enemy will fight to the death! This includes your whole family."
Strong, domineering, crazy!
Under the appearance of being as vague and uncertain as an immortal in the world, this is the real Qin Weibai.
"noob!"
Yu Donglai's expression suddenly changed, this girl is going crazy.
"Mr. Qin is threatening me?"
Zhuang Huayang's smile completely faded and he asked in a gloomy tone.
"It's not a threat, it's just... you really can't lose it, and you can't miss it either."
Qin Weibai looked at the water in the teapot that had begun to roll, and muttered to himself in a daze.
Zhuang Huayang looked at Qin Weibai, who was obviously in a daze at this time, and his gloomy expression gradually softened. After a while, he said lightly: "I hope Mr. Qin's favor will be as valuable as ever."
"I will definitely not disappoint the principal."
Qin Weibai stood up quickly and said: "Farewell."
She nodded to Yu Donglai and walked directly to the door.
The result of this conversation could be said to be an unhappy one, but she got what she wanted, at least it wasn't in vain.
In the villa, Zhuang Huayang and Yu Donglai looked at each other.
After a long time, Zhuang Huayang smiled casually and murmured to himself: "The little girl you have now is amazing."
"Lao Zhuang, don't think that Bai girl was joking just now, she is serious. If she goes crazy, it's hard to say what happened to Sky Academy. At least you will definitely not have an easy time. I'm not causing trouble for you, but I'm just taking care of someone.
It’s just a new student, so if you can do what you can, it’s better than having a mysterious opponent with endless potential, right?”
Yu Donglai looked at Zhuang Huayang with a solemn expression and said.
"That's the truth."
Zhuang Huayang smiled and nodded: "But before taking care of this kid, I should at least see how good he is and how worthy I am of taking care of him, right? The little guy who let the big man in the Central Plains and a monster like Qin Weibai fall in love with him
, who is it?"
Yu Donglai hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.
Zhuang Huayang casually picked up the phone next to the sofa, dialed a number, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Qin Ke, there is a new student named Li Tianlan, please pay attention. Find a young and promising teacher to test his strength.
Remember, don’t kill anyone, just act tonight.”
After finishing speaking, the principal of Sky Academy hung up the phone, then looked at Yu Donglai and said with a smile: "How about you, old guy, stay here and watch a good show together today?"
"good."
Yu Donglai hesitated for a moment, smiled and nodded in agreement.
