Moving

After Wu Tong left, Luo Feng suddenly pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"I passed the combat assessment. I should let my family know right away. Brother Yang, have you told your parents yet?"

"Not yet. We can call them together!" Yang Wu said with a smile, pulling out his phone too.

He had left pretty early, before dawn, so of course he hadn't wanted to disturb his family.

But it was daylight now, so he could tell his parents and younger brother the good news.

Yang Wu and Luo Feng called their families at the same time.

Yang Wu's family lived on the twenty-sixth floor of an apartment building in Lanta Residential Area, in Yangzhou City, one of Jiangnan Base City's Eight Satellite Cities.

"Yuande, do you think A-Wu will pass the combat assessment?"

"From what we found online, the Quasi-Martial Artist combat assessment usually has a death rate of three to five percent, and the injury rate is even higher! If I'd known, I never would have let him go!"

At the dinner table, Liu Yuhua had lost all appetite. She asked with a worried expression.

To her, her son's safety was the most important thing.

"Mom, don't worry!" Yang Fan wasn't affected by the tense atmosphere at all. He kept eating and drinking as usual.

"Second Brother took the combat assessment with Brother Feng, and Brother Feng is a genius who was recruited early by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. His whole family has already moved to Mingyue Residential Quarter!"

At the mention of the Luo family's move, Yang Fan looked envious.

"A genius like Brother Feng doesn't come along even once a year in all of Yangzhou City. With Brother Feng looking out for Second Brother, how could he fail the assessment? Just wait until we move!"

Thinking that once Yang Wu passed, their family could move into a standalone villa too, Yang Fan grew even more excited and his appetite improved.

Hearing him say that, Liu Yuhua and Yang Yuande exchanged a look, finally feeling somewhat reassured.

Suddenly...

A pleasant ringtone rang out. Liu Yuhua took her phone from her jacket pocket and glanced at it, a hint of joy finally appearing on her face.

"It's A-Wu calling!"

"Mom, answer it! Second Brother must've passed the assessment and is calling to tell us the good news!"

Because of Luo Feng, Yang Fan was absolutely certain that Yang Wu would pass.

"A-Wu, is that you?" Liu Yuhua asked excitedly after answering.

"Mom, it's me!" Yang Wu asked with concern, "Have you had breakfast?"

"We have, we have!" Liu Yuhua hurriedly replied. "How did your assessment go? Were you hurt?"

"Mom, don't worry. I'm fine!" Yang Wu said with a laugh. "I passed the Quasi-Martial Artist combat assessment too. I'll be home later."

Liu Yuhua had already turned on the speakerphone, so Yang Yuande and his sons could hear Yang Wu's voice too.

Yang Fan forgot all about eating and hurried over to Liu Yuhua, shouting into the phone, "Second Brother, now that you've passed the assessment, can you join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall too? I want to go to Mingyue Residential Quarter!"

Yang Fan had once visited Luo Feng at Mingyue Residential Quarter. After just one visit, he had fallen in love with the place.

"Xiao Fan, don't make trouble!" Yang Yuande called from the side, then gestured for Liu Yuhua to hand him the phone.

Taking it from her, Yang Yuande hurriedly said, "A-Wu, don't listen to Xiao Fan. Join whichever organization you want. It makes no difference to us where we move!"

"Dad, my former instructor and a lot of my friends joined the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and so did Luo Feng. Of course I'm joining too," Yang Wu said with a laugh. "Don't worry. I've already signed a contract with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Once I get back, we can move to Mingyue Residential Quarter!"

"Good, good." Yang Yuande was so excited that he hurriedly said, "I'll ask your sister and brother-in-law to come over. We'll all celebrate together when you get back!"

"Sure!" Thinking of his elder sister, Yang Yun, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, Yang Wu smiled. "I'll be home this afternoon!"

After hanging up, Yang Wu and Luo Feng went to the martial artist rest hall to wait.

Once all the Quasi-Martial Artist assessments were over, Yang Wu returned to the Base City with the other candidates that afternoon.

After getting off, Yang Wu soon made it home.

His parents, sister and brother-in-law, and younger brother Yang Fan had already prepared a lavish meal and were waiting for him.

After celebrating over a hearty meal, the family decided—at Yang Fan's suggestion—to move to Mingyue Residential Quarter right away.

Yang Wu found the number of a moving company near Lanta Residential Area and called for a large truck.

Before long, a large truck pulled up downstairs from Yang Wu's apartment. But the person who climbed out of the passenger seat was someone he hadn't expected.

It was Wang Zijin.

"Brother Wang, what are you doing here?" Yang Wu asked, puzzled, when he came downstairs.

"A-Wu, I heard you passed the combat assessment and were planning to move soon, so I thought I'd see if I could help out!" Wang Zijin said with a broad smile. "As it happens, this moving company you called is one of my businesses, so I came along."

Yang Wu was speechless. He had worked under Wang Zijin for three years. Though he didn't know how many businesses Wang Zijin owned, he was sure a moving company wasn't among them.

Yang Wu could guess at least part of Wang Zijin's intentions.

"Brother Wang, even though I didn't join the Wang Family, with the relationship we have, you can just tell me if you need anything. There's no need to go to all this trouble!"

Yang Wu said helplessly. He really found it hard to refuse Wang Zijin's kindness.

Seeing Yang Wu's expression, Wang Zijin was delighted. This was exactly the reaction he had hoped for.

If he just gave Yang Wu money, Yang Wu might refuse.

Besides, now that Yang Wu had become a martial artist, he wouldn't be short of money in the future. But Yang Wu's family were ordinary people, and he could help them instead.

That was why he had sent people to buy a moving company near Lanta Residential Area—to make this moment happen.

"Isn't it lucky that I happened to be here? Don't worry about the little things. It's getting late, so let's get moving! Are you headed to Mingyue Residential Quarter, near the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, or Chunlei Residential Quarter, near the Thunder Dojo?" Wang Zijin asked Yang Wu while directing his men to help carry things.

Though he had a lot of connections, there hadn't been enough time for him to find out much. He could only confirm that Yang Wu hadn't joined the HR Alliance. As for Huaxia Country...

If Yang Wu had joined Huaxia Country, he wouldn't need a moving company anyway.

"Mingyue Residential Quarter!" Seeing that he couldn't stop Wang Zijin, Yang Wu could only accept his help.

"No problem!" Wang Zijin pointed to a luxury car behind the truck and said with a smile, "A-Wu, take your parents and the others in that car. We'll be done moving in no time!"

This time, Wang Zijin had brought every mover from the company to help Yang Wu move.

Before long, all the furniture in Yang Wu's small home had been loaded into the truck.
