Chapter 208: The Young Phoenix Is Clearer than the Old Phoenix
Chapter 208: The young phoenix is clearer than the old phoenix
Two days later, the sound of steel clashing in the inner room of the gym was still heard.
The sharp voice reverberated inside from morning to night, and even the fierce singing in the gym couldn't cover it. Until now, it finally came to an end and fell into a long silence.
In the faint sound of footsteps, the door opened a thread, and a dirty hand stretched out from inside, grabbed the dinner plate at the door and pulled it in. Soon, the sound of chewing was heard behind the door.
Like a very hungry beast, it crushed the bones and split the flesh and blood. It was obviously a takeaway that had completely cooled down, but the voice sounded as sweet as some delicacy.
Soon, the door of the room opened again, and the dinner plate was released.
Things have trickled down.
Luo Lao glanced at it, and naturally the staff in the gym walked over, picked up the dinner plate and cleaned up the things.
After a short break, the sound of steel clashing broke out again.
"It's been two days."
Luo Xian glanced at it, lowered her head and continued knitting the oversized sweater for her father, and said casually, "Father, it's too difficult for you to teach him this kind of thing? When I was fourteen, I didn't dare to say that I could learn it well. "
"It's interesting only if it's a bit difficult." Luo Laozi mixed protein powder with carrot juice, and said casually: "If you can learn it, everything will be fine, and you can't blame me if you can't, right?
It just happened to let him suffer for a few more days, otherwise it would be a loss to teach so much a hundred thousand yuan. "
"Bad heart." The daughter glanced up at her father and shook her head: "Are you so sure that he won't give up?"
"Nowadays some young people look at their faces with a smile on their faces, but they are actually a mother in their hearts. That kid is different from this one, because he is more difficult to deal with."
Lao Luo clicked his mouth, reminiscing about the taste of carrot juice, "I don't care about anything when I look at the sun shining brightly, but it's not like this at all in my bones. Sometimes it's gentle and gentle like a domestic dog, but when it's holding a sword, it's fierce It looks like a wild dog, which is completely incomprehensible.
Even if the ambition is not here, as long as you put good things in front of him, he will not give up. Even if he knows it is bait, he will swallow the meat and the hook together, and then tear the thread. "
After Luo Xian listened, the sweater needle in her hand stopped for a moment, "Sounds really good."
"yes."
Luo Lao put down the teapot in his hand, "Sometimes, I would even be thankful that he doesn't have the talent like you, otherwise, I would have killed him here, right?"
"Is such a person bad?"
"It might be nice, but it's not good for the world."
The old man said calmly: "People like him, even if they don't learn these things to kill people, they will only kill more people in the future, thousands of times more than people like us——
It would be great if he was the kind of person who was cold and vicious by nature, he could not take other people's life and his own life seriously, he would kill if he killed, and he would die if he died, as light as a feather.
But he knows what death is all about, and even knows the preciousness of life better than others, so when he holds a sword, he is more cruel and cruel than ordinary people.
Even though he may regret, hate, and repent, he will never stop, even if there are a hundred thousand Mount Tai. Even if it looks like a badass now, it will definitely be a complete disaster in the future. "
Luo Xian thought about it after listening, and couldn't help laughing: "I always feel that my father wants to eradicate the disaster."
"But even if he is a scourge in the future, what does this have to do with me, who runs a gym?"
Mr. Luo crossed his legs leisurely, and continued to nourish the protein powder, "He pays the money, and I go to class... No matter how many people die, it's none of my business."
Listening to the sound of bitter and persistent swords in the inner room, basking in the afternoon sun, enjoying the happiness brought by tossing people, and taking two mouthfuls of my daughter's special protein powder of today's love.
another beautiful day.
No matter what the flood will be in the future.
Also under the gentle afternoon sun.
In the hall on the first floor of the Jinling branch of the Astronomical Society, Ai Qing saw the man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
It's been so many years, and he can't see the rough look of the past, but now he is wearing a decent suit, with a gentle smile on his mouth.
Seeing that Ai Qing finally appeared, he took off his glasses, closed the newspaper, and waved to her.
"Looks like you're okay?"
After taking a look, Chai Fei understood the identity of the visitor: "Do you want me to ask you for a leave this afternoon?"
"No need, you go up first, I'll come later."
Ai Qing answered lightly, shook the wheelchair, came to the front of the sofa, looked at the smiling face that did not hide her joy, for a long time, and sighed softly.
"Brother Yinya, long time no see."
"After hearing Xiaoyan's words, I thought you would drive me away fiercely, and I was almost cheated by him."
The man called Yin Ya sat a little forward, looked at her cheeks, for a long time, unceremoniously reached out and rubbed her hair, until seeing Ai Qing's angry look, he couldn't help laughing .
"You're really skinny."
Ai Qing smoothed her hair calmly, and asked back: "Apart from other people's weight, can you think of any other opening remarks?"
Yin Ya smiled awkwardly and shrugged, "I wanted to ask you if you met someone you liked, but after thinking about it, you might scold me even more, so I didn't dare to ask."
Ai Qing shook her head, but didn't retort.
In Nuo Da's Yin family, since his parents passed away, the one who has been taking care of his cripple is this cousin who is regarded as the future head of the family.
If it weren't for Yin Ya, she probably wouldn't have had the chance to study in London at all, let alone other things.
Now that I saw this cousin who took good care of me again, it would be a lie to say that she felt unhappy.
But after many years, I have changed from a little girl to an inspector of the Astronomical Society, and his achievements are even more astonishing. It is said that he has broken through the third level at the border a few days ago and stepped into the fourth level. field.
Such a person is enough to support a family in the current situation, presumably after the death of Old Master Yin, he will be the head of the Yin clan.
The identities of the two are completely different from the past.
Even though Yin Ya has taken good care of him, but now he has to represent the Yin family.
After a brief silence, she didn't want to continue in the awkward atmosphere, and directly picked up the topic: "Brother came to see me this time, what's the matter?"
"Why don't you eat some fruit first? I brought it for you when I came back from the border...Try it, it's delicious!"
Yin Ya reached out and picked up the net bag under the table, several white fruits that looked like dragon fruit exuded a burst of sweetness, making mouth watering.
Ai Qing didn't speak, just looked at him.
After a long time, he also felt helpless, and put the fruit on the table: "Whether it is successful or not, the fruit was specially brought to you by brother, so you have to accept it, right?"
Ai Qing nodded.
As a result, Yin Ya's expression became relieved, and he felt joy from the bottom of his heart.
After pondering for a moment, he didn't want to go around in front of his sister, so he asked directly.
"Brother can protect you now, come home with me, okay?"
He said sincerely: "Before I came, I made an agreement with my grandfather: as long as you can go home, all the business in the family can be handed over to you. You can decide all the assets and operations of the Yin family with one word."
"What about the bad words?"
Ai Qing couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Isn't he already promising? It's better to leave this kind of thing to a man than to a woman."
"He's still young."
Yin Ya replied seriously.
For Yin Ya, even though his cousin has become a preparatory examiner of the Astronomical Society, he is still an ignorant child who always likes to let his own temperament do it, without tempering it, it will be difficult to take on a big job.
Before he came here, he beat up Yin Yan because of the incident on the high seas.
Ai Qing was indifferent to this, "He can grow up, can't he? One day he will be able to take on important responsibilities."
"When he grows up, he should be a man."
Yin Ya replied calmly, "A man must learn to support his family by himself, instead of thinking about stealing things from his younger brothers and sisters every day. Over the years, Xiaoyan has been a little spoiled, and I have already thrown him to the border. Ascendants should not even think about coming back."
Ai Qing froze for a moment, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows.
It would be better to kill him than to let him go to the border with his spoiled appearance.
"Aren't you afraid that he will hate you?"
"When a child suffers a little bit of grievance, he feels like the world is falling apart. When he really grows up a bit, he will know what a man should and shouldn't do." After Yin Ya finished speaking, she shook her head in embarrassment: "If you really can't grow up, let it be, I It’s okay to raise him well for the rest of his life, if he wants to hate it, he can hate it, it’s better than being slaughtered like a chicken one day.”
"..."
Ai Qing was silent for a long time, and couldn't help sighing: "You haven't changed for so many years."
"It's almost thirty, at least it has become a little taller?"
Yin Ya shrugged and stared sincerely at the younger sister in front of him: "As an older brother, you can't accomplish nothing. In the future, you must protect your younger brothers and sisters from wind and rain...Xiao Qing, I think so from the bottom of my heart."
"I know." Ai Qing nodded.
Yin Ya's expression suddenly became anxious: "Then will you come back?"
"No." Ai Qing shook her head, and calmly refused: "I'm living a good life now, to be honest, I don't want to have anything to do with the Yin family."
"..."
Yin Ya was stunned for a long time, then sighed helplessly, "It will be the grandpa's birthday in a few days, so why don't you come back?"
"What am I going to do? Congratulations?" Ai Qing was amused, and looked down at her wheelchair, "With these legs, wouldn't it be annoying?"
"I know that some things in the family were too much in the early years, and it is only natural for you to have opinions on the family. But grandpa has changed now." Yin Ya hesitated for a long time, "He has admitted...the things that happened back then were his own. Wrong doing. If you can go home, he can apologize to you in person."
The old man Yin who has always shown a tough face and never bowed his head in his life will apologize.
It sounds like a joke.
But Yin Ya's expression was serious and solemn, besides, he had never lied to Ai Qing.
"It feels much more reasonable than before?"
Ai Qing nodded slightly: "This is also expected. After passing through the stage of bloody accumulation, don't the capitalists start to look kindly? After they no longer need to fight for food like wild dogs, they must start to flaunt the benevolence. home, otherwise people will look down on you.”
She paused, looked at the cousin in front of her, and told him seriously: "Although I don't know how sincere the old man is, it's useless to tell me these things, right?
If you want to apologize, shouldn't you tell my mother in person? "
"..."
Yin Ya sighed, speechless.
After a long silence, I could only say softly: "I have the final say on many things at home, if you can come back home, I can protect you.
At least I can guarantee that things like that will never happen again. "
"..."
Ai Qing was silent, for a long time, did not speak, just looked at him straight.
For some reason, he suddenly laughed softly.
"Brother, if your promise can be made sooner, I won't have to be called a crazy woman in a wheelchair behind my back."
She withdrew her gaze: "I should be angry, brother, although I don't hate you, I don't even want to argue with people about what happened in the past.
I can only tell you that I am living a very good life now, I have my own job and things I want to do, and I will not bother the Yin family to take care of the rest. "
"Is there no room for turning around anymore?"
"Why are you reasoning with a lunatic woman, brother, is a person's forgiveness really that important to you? Or is it that the old man will be afraid if there is a cripple blocking the way?"
Yin Ya didn't speak again.
Time passed quietly.
When the clock rang, he got up, took out a ticket from his pocket, and put it in front of Ai Qing.
"Find a way to transfer abroad, Xiao Qing. Go to London, Rome, wherever you want."
He said, "Leave tonight."
"Are you impatiently planning to do it so soon?" Ai Qing asked coldly, "If my great-grandpa really doesn't want me to go, even if I have an air ticket, it won't help."
"I said yes."
Yin Ya looked at him, as if pleading, "This is the only thing my brother can do for you."
"..."
Ai Qing lowered her eyes and didn't look at him again.
After a long time, she suddenly said, "I'm going to work, brother, you should go."
Yin Ya hesitated, wanting to say something more, but in the end he sighed silently, turned and left.
Soon, that figure disappeared into the crowd outside the door.
After a long time, Ai Qing picked up the fruit left by Yin Ya and returned to her schedule.
Under the scattered sunshine in the afternoon, only the ticket remained in place, waiting quietly.
Until finally, it was thrown into the dust under the sweeping of the cleaning site.
.
On that night, due to weather conditions, except for a flight to London, no plane was able to take off from Jinling.
It was a clear starry night.
Cloudless.
The days passed day by day like this, calm and calm.
As the Asian rookie competition is approaching day by day, the Social Security Bureau has become more and more busy. As the main registration places and entrances, a large number of sublimators have poured into Jinling, submitting themselves to the competition organizing committee and the news tomorrow. entry information.
In addition to the local sublimators of Eastern Xia, there were many foreign faces among them, and even sublimators from Rome and America came here to try their luck.
For a large number of sublimators in the field, this is a good opportunity to verify their own strength and seek higher treatment, and for various organizations, it is also a good opportunity to show their potential and show off their muscles.
In addition to the Taiqing Heavy Industry Group, Giant Goose Group, and Yaochi Entertainment in Dongxia, there are also the giants Sodom and Renxiatang in Yingzhou, and the Seven Star Group in Silla.
Even the Dongxia Social Security Bureau sent people to the field, not to mention the Yingzhou Luming Pavilion... Several genealogy were mixed in, simply as an assessment and training for newcomers, even the Theravada Tantra, which has never had a sense of existence. They have sent several seed players to try their luck.
If the Tianzhu pedigree had not been classified into the Roman region due to historical reasons, there would be a direct contest between the two pedigrees in this Asian Rookie Tournament.
Even though a large number of people have been screened out in the preliminary audition, there are still more contestants coming in a steady stream. And that's just the contestants, not to mention ten times more spectators.
How come there are so many people willing to spend money to buy live tickets for the live rookie competition held every ten years.
With the end of the Rome Division and the Americas Division, the Asia Division is about to begin. As one of the main entrances for a while, Jinling will naturally become more and more lively.
In the past two days, my cousin has been very busy, but when he thinks that the traffic in the Yangcheng competition area is more and more chaotic, he can't help but gloat.
"Did that kid from Yuanzhao also run to compete?"
After receiving the leave note from Mo San, the eldest cousin shrugged helplessly: "Forget it, let him know that heaven and earth are strong, and stop being obsessed with his hairstyle every day...Is there anything else?"
"The people from Yingzhou Luming Hall are also here today, at the Xuanwu Lake Hotel, do you want to meet?"
"See what, see, see!" The eldest cousin waved: "Let them go to the Yangcheng competition area or the Yanjing competition area to sign up. This is Jinling, and they are not welcome... By the way, take good care of the little girl Hu Po, don't make her bloody The superiors chopped up the people from the Luming Pavilion."
"Don't worry, I sent her to Yanjing for further study two days ago."
"Has the entry list arranged by Xuanniao come out?"
"He said it's free to sign up, so go check it out when you have time." Mo San flipped through the form in his hand, "There are about twenty of them at present, Jue Xun, Guan Hai, Luo Shen, Chen Qingyang, Shen Yue, Huangshi..."
"Is Shen Yue not depressed at last? It's good, it's a good thing."
The eldest cousin nodded, "Is there any reply from Mr. Luo?"
"Tell me what Luo Xian means." Mo San shrugged: "Basically, Xiao Xian never responded positively, I'm afraid it depends on her mood."
The eldest cousin nodded and didn't say anything else. After receiving the list of participating members of the Astronomical Society handed over by Mo San, he was stunned for a moment: "No Huai Shi?"
"He has already signed up for the individual competition... Originally, he could form a team with the Astronomical Association, but he has been staying in Luo Lao's gym for the past two days, and he cannot be contacted."
"Still in there now?" The eldest cousin gasped: "It seems that Mr. Luo really got something out of it this time."
After a few sighs of emotion, he buried his head in the report again, and his head continued to grow.
Time is still passing by.
.
"Is it still in there?"
Mr. Luo, who came back from shopping in the evening, heard the sound of steel in the inner room, and raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Tomorrow is the rookie game, and I haven't given up yet."
"I feel like I have a lot of fighting spirit."
Luo Xian raised her head and listened, "Listen to the sound, it will be soon."
"It's hard to say." Luo Lao shook his head, "The footsteps are a little sloppy, he is almost out of strength..."
"I almost succeeded a few times just now." Luo Xian said, "It shouldn't be far away."
"For things like skills, if you are high-level, you are too high. It's not a matter of hard work or not. Lack of talent depends on luck."
Mr. Luo sat down and picked up the protein powder prepared by his daughter: "He is almost at the limit, so try it once or twice."
Luo Xian looked back at the door behind her, "I'm quite optimistic about him."
In the inner room, the footsteps sounded again, the steel trembled, and there was a hoarse panting sound.
"Although the breathing rhythm is correct, the footwork is messed up. Unfortunately, the follow-up is weak."
The old man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "After he faints later, carry him out and throw him away..."
At that moment, he saw Luo Xian's eyebrows raised slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he was also stunned.
There was a roar.
The loud noise tore apart the thick sound-proof cotton, turned into a thunderous noise, and spread to the surroundings, causing the windows of the entire gym to vibrate violently.
But what surprised them even more than the loud noise was the clear and clear sound mixed with the roar, which gradually became louder and louder!
It was the sonorous low sound of countless tremors of steel in an instant.
Three completely different voices overlapped in one place, shaking countless steels and making them resonate accordingly, forming a long aftertaste like a torrent, spreading in all directions.
Neither walls, windows, nor buildings can catch it.
From the moment it exploded, it soared up, spread its wings, and rose with the late night wind, soaring freely in the night sky, as if covering the entire Jinling under this thin line of source quality ripples.
As if feeling it.
At that moment, the boy in the Social Security Bureau trained hard with a gun, the man in the astronomical club who sat quietly, and even the girl wandering the streets...
Dozens of sublimated people raised their heads together and stared at the source of the voice.
Then, after being closed for a week, the door finally opened.
"Who says I can't make it?"
Behind the door, Huai Shi staggered out, leaning on the door frame, almost unable to stand still.
But when he saw Mr. Luo, he raised his head proudly, and a smug smile appeared on his pale face: "It's just a chord, so it's hard to stop me!"
The old man opened his mouth to speak.
But before he could speak, he saw the young man throw himself straight to the ground, and passed out.
There was a snore.
In the silence, the father and daughter looked at each other.
"As I said earlier, he can do it."
Luo Xian looked at her father's rare gaffe, "You guessed wrong."
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Luo withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to sip the protein powder in the pot, but his shoulders couldn't help shaking.
Until the end, I finally couldn't help looking up and laughing out loud.
"Tonghua Wanli Danshan Road, the young phoenix is as clear as the old phoenix..."
The old man patted his thigh happily, leaning forward and backward with a smile: "I never thought that at the end, he could give me such a surprise again!"
So, just like that, on the last day before the start of the rookie game, the last moment before twelve o'clock.
Huai Shi has finally graduated.
