Qi Yunxiao
Chen Lie glanced coldly at the laughing students, when suddenly, a ferocious aura emanated from Chen Lie.
The students' laughter stopped abruptly.
A chill ran down everyone's spine, as if a sharp knife was pressed against their eyes, ready to stab them at any moment.
This feeling comes quickly and goes quickly, disappearing in an instant.
The students looked at each other, all thinking they were imagining things.
Qin Siyu smiled slightly and said, "Chen Lie is quite the joker."
"Goddess Qin, Chen Lie is not joking. He has connections at the Genius Training Camp," Wang Hui said at this moment.
"Yeah?"
Qin Siyu looked at Chen Lie with a questioning gaze and said, "Then--- Chen Lie, shall we add each other as friends on Green Bubble?"
To be honest, I know absolutely nothing about the East River Province Genius Training Camp. If there's anything I don't understand, I hope you can answer it for me.
Chen Lie grunted in agreement, took out his Communicator, and asked Qin Siyu to scan the QR code to add him as a friend.
Zhang Zongqiang, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and his teeth were practically clenched in fury.
He immediately said, "Siyu, although Chen Lie has entered the Genius Training Camp, he is just a new student who has just entered the Genius Training Camp. What could he possibly know?"
"Isn't it a waste of your time to ask him to answer your questions?"
Qin Siyu shook her head slightly. "That's not how it works. Those who are capable come first. Although Chen Lie is also a newcomer to the Genius Training Camp, he has done enough to answer my questions."
Besides, Chen Lie's abilities should be no less than mine.
So, Chen Lie, your Blood Qi Value should already be over 400 calories, right?
"More or less." Chen Lie didn't elaborate, he just nodded.
"Me, Chen Lie, you have 400 calories of Blood Qi Value?"
Wang Hui was immediately startled.
Three months ago, he and Chen Lie had their Blood Qi Value tested together. At that time, Chen Lie and blood level was less than 1 calorie. In just over a hundred days, his Blood Qi Value had increased several hundred times?
Is this reasonable? Even Martial Arts Grandmaster couldn't do that when they were young, right?
Qin Siyu never expected that the unremarkable, almost forgotten, nobody in her class would achieve martial arts accomplishments that were beyond everyone's reach.
She subconsciously began to scrutinize Chen Lie.
"So, our scores are about the same. How about we schedule a time to have a practice match and point out each other's weaknesses?"
Qin Siyu made the suggestion to Chen Lie with a smile.
Chen Lie did not agree, only saying, "We'll see."
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyu's sweet smile froze instantly.
Did I get rejected?
Qin Siyu found it all unbelievable.
One student whispered, "Has Chen Lie lost his mind? He didn't even agree to Goddess Qin's invitation right away?"
Seeing Chen Lie's dullness, Wang Hui shook his head in exasperation and said, "Goddess Qin, Chen Lie has indeed been very busy these days."
However, he has three days of free time. How about you arrange to communicate in three days?
Qin Siyu looked at Chen Lie: "Chen Lie, is what Wang Hui said correct? Do you have time in three days?"
"Then let's do it in three days."
Since Wang Hui had already made his promise, Chen Lie didn't intend to refuse him and nodded in agreement.
Qin Siyu smiled and said, "Okay, then let's meet in three days at the Dongchuan Martial Arts Hall in Changdong City."
I heard it's quite popular there; lots of people exchange martial arts techniques at the Martial Arts Hall.
"No, Siyu, your Blood Qi Value is far more than four hundred calories."
The fourth-ranked student at Yunchuan Province Key High School must be close to 500 calories, right? Not to mention your masterful B-Rank Martial Art; when you interact with Chen Lie, it's probably not just you giving him pointers."
Zhang Zongqiang couldn't help but speak up.
Qin Siyu slightly. "I actually lack a lot in terms of practical combat skills."
Real combat experience has always been my weakness; otherwise, I wouldn't only be fourth on the Elite Student Top 100 Ranking, even though people with more than ten fewer Blood Qi Value than me are ranked higher.
Chen Lie's ability to win first place in the martial arts competition for Dongchuan Province Key High School must demonstrate his outstanding performance in actual combat.
If Chen Lie could share some of his practical experience with me, I would certainly benefit greatly.
Wang Hui then spoke on Chen Lie's behalf, saying, "Don't worry, Goddess Qin. You might not remember, but back in junior high, when Zhang Zongqiang slandered Chen Lie, you were the one who came out to prove Chen Lie's innocence."
If you discuss martial arts with Chen Lie, he will definitely share all his experience with you without reservation.
Qin Siyu smiled slightly. She naturally had no recollection of what Wang Hui had mentioned, but she still said, "Then I'll thank Chen Lie in advance."
Zhang Zongqiang retorted angrily, "Bullshit! When did I slander Chen Lie?"
Wang Hui, how dare you slander me?
Whether I slandered you or not, you know the answer in your heart.
After Wang Hui chose that sentence, he ignored him completely.
The group of students continued eating.
Midway through the meal, Zhang Zongqiang suddenly said, "Siyu, do you know why I chose to hold this Chuandu Grand Banquet today?"
Qin Siyu slightly.
"Hehe, that's because I got some news."
A few days ago, the Martial Artist Association invited a martial arts master from another province to guide the martial arts training of the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.
After finishing his lessons with the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, the martial arts master from out of town wanted to test the results of his teaching before leaving.
The time is this afternoon, and the location is the rooftop of the Chuandu Mansion.
"Real?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Siyu was immediately intrigued and asked, "Can we also go and sit in on the lectures given by members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group?"
"Of course, my dad had already spoken to the management of the Chuandu Grand Banquet and said I could go in and listen to the lecture."
I should be able to bring one more person in; you can come with me then.
But I can't help the other students.
As he spoke, Zhang Zongqiang shrugged.
The students present, who had been full of expectations upon hearing Zhang Zongqiang's words, were instantly filled with utter disappointment.
Xie Bing stepped in to smooth things over. "Our Blood Qi Value are all too low. Even if we went to a high-level event like the Provincial Youth Genius Group's lectures, we wouldn't understand it. It's better not to go."
Zhang Zongqiang added, "Although I can't take you inside, you can watch from the outside, but it's a bit far, so you might not be able to hear clearly."
Xie Bing: "Then let's stand outside and take a look; it'll be good to broaden our horizons."
"Then everyone, hurry up and eat. When it's almost time, I'll take you to broaden your horizons," Zhang Zongqiang said.
"Chen Lie, let's go take a look together later," Wang Hui said.
Chen Lie said, "Okay, but let's just take a look and leave. It's really not that interesting."
"Whether it's interesting or not, let's watch it first and see."
After a while, Zhang Zongqiang looked at the Communicator and said, "Everyone has almost finished eating, and it's almost time."
Those who want to see it can come with me, but you can only look from the very outside.
If you don't want to go, you can eat some more in the private room, and then you can leave directly.
After Zhang Zongqiang finished speaking, a group of students chimed in.
"Let's go take a look, Brother Qiang, take us with you."
"Yes, let's go take a look and broaden our horizons. Even just observing from the outside is fine."
"This is the Provincial Youth Genius Group, the most outstanding martial arts talents in East River Province."
After glancing at the students' reactions, Zhang Zongqiang smiled and said to Qin Siyu, "Siyu, shall we set off now?"
"Good!"
Qin Siyu nodded, then got up and left the private room with the other students.
Outside the private room, Zhang Zongqiang addressed the students, "Students, this is the best hotel in East River Province, a place frequented by dignitaries and important figures. So please don't make noise later, so as not to disturb the hotel's guests and cause unnecessary trouble."
"Okay, Brother Qiang, we understand."
"Then follow me, and keep the formation neat."
After saying that, Zhang Zongqiang said gently to Qin Siyu, "Siyu, let's go."
Led by Zhang Zongqiang, the group boarded the elevator in a grand procession.
The Chuandu Mansion is a hundred stories high.
After getting on the elevator, in the blink of an eye, more than twenty students arrived at the top floor of the Chuandu Mansion.
The elevator doors opened, and Chen Lie and Wang Hui stepped out after a large group of students.
"Wow, the top floor of the Chuandu Grand Banquet must be hundreds of meters high!"
Wang Hui arrived at the rooftop and couldn't wait to go to the rooftop railing. Looking down, he felt as if half of East River Province was under his sight.
At this moment, Zhang Zongqiang scolded, "Wang Hui, what did I tell you? Don't you dare run around like that."
Wang Hui was reprimanded by Zhang Zongqiang, but he didn't argue back. He just returned to the group dejectedly.
Since it was he who broke the rules, he had no reason to argue.
Upon reaching the middle of the rooftop, the group was stopped by a red line.
The Chuandu Mansion is very large, and the area enclosed by the red line is also very large, easily over a thousand square meters.
Inside the red line, many figures were moving about, while outside the red line, a sparse crowd had gathered.
Upon reaching the red line, Zhang Zongqiang glanced at the personnel guarding the area and said to the group, "Alright, students, you can all disperse now."
You can observe from outside the red line in a short while.
After Zhang Zongqiang finished speaking, a student immediately muttered, "This is too far away. There are also a circle of people around. We can't see anything from here."
Several students nearby also echoed in hushed tones.
Zhang Zongqiang ignored these people and instead said to Qin Siyu, "Siyu, wait a moment, I'll go and talk to someone I know."
Qin Siyu hummed in agreement.
After Zhang Zongqiang left, a student asked Qin Siyu, "Qin, have you and Zhang Zongqiang kept in touch since junior high school?"
Qin Siyu and said, "No, Zhang Zongqiang's father and my father were classmates and are now colleagues; they are both Provincial Councilor."
"Wow? So Goddess Qin's father is actually Provincial Councilor at the vice-provincial level. That's impressive."
Qin Siyu simply smiled and then said to Chen Lie, "Chen Lie, with your abilities, you'll definitely gain something from watching renowned teachers instruct the Provincial Youth Genius Group."
"I'm only using Zhang Zongqiang's connection, so it's not appropriate for me to ask Zhang Zongqiang to include you as well."
Chen Lie said, "It doesn't matter, I don't want to go in either."
Qin Siyu nodded with a slight apology.
In fact, she knew that if she asked her father for help and contacted some acquaintances, even though her father had just been transferred to East River Province as the vice governor, there was a high probability that Chen Lie could be allowed to go in and watch.
She simply didn't want to trouble her father, and besides, she didn't have a close relationship with Chen Lie, so it wasn't worth asking her father for help.
Soon, a group of students dispersed outside the red line, desperately trying to peek inside.
Just then, a girl walked over, saw Qin Siyu, and greeted her, "Siyu, what are you doing here?"
Qin Siyu turned around and asked tentatively, "Are you Xiaoxiao?"
"It's me, Fang Xiaoxiao. I didn't expect you to recognize me at a glance after all these years."
But what are you doing here?
"I asked the girl named Fang Xiaoxiao."
"Hmm, isn't this a class for members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group? I've come to take a look," Qin Siyu replied.
Fang Xiaoxiao was taken aback. "You know Qi Yunxiao too?"
Qin Siyu, puzzled, "Qi Yunxiao? What does that mean?"
Don't you remember Qi Yunxiao?
I asked the boy who transferred to our school in the second year of junior high.
Qin Siyu thought for a moment, "It seems like there is such a person."
"Of course there is such a person. Didn't you go to Cloud River Province before and lose contact with a lot of people?"
You don't know, Qi Yunxiao is now a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.
"A member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group?" Qin Siyu couldn't help but exclaim.
Such individuals are almost all martial arts geniuses, one in a million. How could a small middle school possibly produce one?
Qi Yunxiao?
Qin Siyu frowned, trying hard to recall the name in her mind, and sure enough, it brought back some memories.
He was a boy who transferred here hastily in the second year of junior high school, and then transferred away again at the beginning of the third year.
She recalled her interactions with Qi Yunxiao in junior high school; they didn't have much contact, but there were some.
She felt a pang of regret; if she had known earlier that Qi Yunxiao possessed such high martial arts talent, she would have made every effort to maintain contact with him.
If she could frequently exchange martial arts techniques with this kind of person, her martial arts skills would definitely reach a higher level than they are now.
"Have you always had a connection with Qi Yunxiao?" Qin Siyu asked.
Fang Xiaoxiao replied, "Yes, Cheng, there has always been a district connection."
By the way, you people are—"
"Oh, it's like this, we're here today for a class reunion," Qin Siyu explained.
"A class reunion?" Fang Xiaoxiao said, "Oh right, I think I muted the class group before, and Qi Yunxiao doesn't seem to be in the class group at all. He didn't even know there was a class reunion here today. Otherwise, with such a close gathering, I would definitely go and see it."
Are these all our classmates?
Qin Siyu nodded and hummed in agreement.
"It's a pity Cheng, we didn't have enough time today, otherwise we would have definitely gotten together with our classmates."
Fang Xiaoxiao glanced at the group of students.
At that moment, a young man walked out from the area enclosed by the red line.
The young man stepped outside the red line and surveyed the area.
"Yunxiao, here!"
Fang Xiaoxiao saw this young man and immediately became uneasy.
Upon seeing this, the young man walked over at a leisurely pace.
"Didn't you want to go inside and take a look? Come in with me."
,
"Wait a minute, Yunxiao, I have something to tell you. It turns out that my junior high school reunion is being held here, and neither of us knew about it."
"Look, these are all our classmates. This is Qin Siyu, you shouldn't have forgotten her, right?" Fang Xiaoxiao said.
A class reunion?
The young man glanced at the many students present.
He is now a member of the Provincial Youth Genius Group, and he has nothing in common with these mediocre people. Even if he knows there is a class reunion, he is too lazy to go.
Qin Siyu smiled sweetly at the young man and said, "Hello, Qi Yunxiao."
"Oh, it's Qin Siyu."
Qi Yunxiao nodded to Qin Siyu.
"Qi's current martial arts skills are truly astonishing."
"I never imagined that our small junior high school would produce a martial arts genius like Qi."
In response to Qin Siyu's praise, Qi Yunxiao simply said, "You flatter me."
Seeing Qi Yunxiao's Qin Siyu couldn't help but feel a hint of admiration in her eyes.
Fang Xiaoxiao asked, "Siyu, what's your Blood Qi Value?"
How are things going in Cloud River Province? Have you joined the Genius Training Camp?
Qin Siyu shook her head. "I'm no longer in Cloud River Province. I'll be participating in the Genius Training Camp in Maochuan Province after the New Year."
"Then your Blood Qi Value should be several hundred calories. Yunxiao promised to take some time in three days to teach me martial arts."
We're all classmates, why don't you come along? It'll definitely be good for you.
"Anyway, for Yunxiao, there's no difference between giving pointers to one person and giving pointers to two," Fang Xiaoxiao said.
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of expectation flashed in Qin Siyu's eyes. She looked at Qi Yunxiao and asked, "Classmate Qi, may I?"
Qi Yunxiao nodded and replied, "Sure, let's all come together."
"That's great! Can I add you as a friend on HaiPaoBai? It'll be easier to contact you later." Qin Siyu with a joyful expression.
Qi Yunxiao didn't refuse. He took out his Communicator and had Qin Siyu add him as a friend on his HaiPaopao platform.
Fang Xiaoxiao said, "Siyu, this place will be in three days. I'll let you know the exact time then."
"Okay, it's settled in three days."
As Qin Siyu spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and her gaze involuntarily turned to Chen Lie.
She just seemed to have made an appointment with Chen Lie to exchange martial arts techniques at the Maochuan Martial Arts Hall in three days.
Damn it, I was too decisive back then. I never imagined that I would get guidance from a member of a Genius Training Camp who was a genius.
Qin Siyu immediately looked at Chen Lie with a smug expression. "Chen Lie, I'm really sorry."
I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the martial arts exchange we just agreed on.
However, we can reschedule for another day. Please don't mind.
Chen Lie simply chuckled and said, "I don't care, you can do whatever you want."
"I'm so sorry, I'll treat you to a meal next time."
Although I know that what I did was somewhat wrong, like being fickle and abandoning the previous one when something better came along.
But she really didn't want to miss out on the guidance from the members of the Provincial Youth Genius Group.
All the students around seemed to hear a sense of helplessness in Chen Lie's laughter.
Some even whispered mockingly, "That Chen Lie, what a disappointment! He probably thought he could exchange martial arts tips with Goddess Qin and maybe even develop a relationship, but who knew it would turn out like this... pfft..."
"Damn, these idiots!"
Seeing the gloating looks on Chen Lie's face, Wang Hui couldn't help but feel angry for him.
