Lou Cheng was a little nervous because of the unfamiliar sect and fellow sect members. He picked up Yan Zheke and went to an old restaurant where they had reserved a place. This restaurant specialized in yellow beef, steaming, frying, frying, roasting, stewing and so on.
After ordering the dishes, the girl took out a packet of tissues from her orange bag and handed it to her boyfriend. "Wipe your face."
"What's this?" Lou Cheng took it with a confused look.
"Makeup remover wipes. Didn't you put on makeup for the program?" Yan Zheke replied with a smile.
"Makeup remover wipes … I've never heard of it …" Lou Cheng said with embarrassment.
Yan Zheke tilted her head slightly and laughed. "Idiot, you should know what it's for from the name. It's easy to use. Just wipe it on your face until there's no more yellow stuff. Then you'll be clean."
"But I, but I washed my face after the program." Lou Cheng was half confused and half defending himself.
Yan Zheke chuckled. "I knew you would say that. A lot of cosmetics can't be washed off with water. Why else do you think girls would prepare makeup remover lotion and oil? With your control over your skin and your sensing ability, don't you feel uncomfortable on your face? "
"So that's why … I was wondering why I didn't feel fresh enough. I thought it was because I showered in a hurry. I was thinking of taking a good shower before the banquet." Lou Cheng was enlightened.
If it weren't for the fact that the brain was off-limits for Mighty Ones with Physical Invulnerability, he would have washed his face with the vibration of Internal Training.
While talking, he took out a wet wipe and wiped his face. As expected, a lot of yellow stuff came off.
"How is it? Did you learn something new? "Yan Zheke raised her head slightly and smiled, showing a bit of complacency.
Lou Cheng finished and smiled sincerely. "Thank you, Coach Yan, no, life coach. You've broadened my horizons again!"
Yan Zheke chuckled and sighed suddenly. "Cheng, we may not be able to date tomorrow. My parents are going to visit a friend's house, and they have to drag me along. Sigh, I hate this kind of thing. It's fine if we are familiar with each other, but if we only see each other three or four times a year, it will be very uncomfortable. When they are talking, I have to sit beside them and pretend to listen carefully. Sometimes I have to answer some questions that I don't want to answer. If we meet one or two naughty kids, it will be, it will be indescribable …"
While talking, she found that Lou Cheng was looking at her with a smile. She couldn't help but pout. "What are you looking at? Are you disappointed to find out that I have a side that complains about this and that? "
"Nope, I think the complaining Ke Ke is super cute." Lou Cheng replied with a smile. Then he explained, "It feels more real and human. I also feel that the distance between us is closer."
Yan Zheke held back her laughter and rolled her eyes at him. "You're talking as if I wasn't a human before. I'm not human anymore!"
"Of course, it's the scent of a fairy." Lou Cheng said seriously.
Pfft! Yan Zheke couldn't help but laugh. She curved her lips and turned her head to the side. "What should I do? I feel like I've been cheated! When we first started talking last year, I didn't expect you to say something like this! "
"People will grow, especially when they have a competent life mentor." Lou Cheng answered without blushing.
"Yeah, people's skin will become thicker ~!" Yan Zheke said grumpily.
Lou Cheng laughed and held the girl's hand. He helped her massage her acupoints and changed the topic. "Ke Ke, will you attend the celebration banquet for the Youth Tournament tonight?"
He had heard from Ke that Empress Dowager had received an invitation.
"No." Yan Zheke shook her head. "I'm afraid that someone won't be able to hold himself back and talk to me. My dad will find out!"
If two people in love attended a banquet at the same time, unless they could hold themselves back from contacting each other all the time, it would be easy for others to find out whether it was their words, expressions, or eyes.
But could her boyfriend hold himself back from contacting each other all the time? Yan Zheke held a negative attitude towards the answer because she had no confidence in herself in this matter.
"Phew." Lou Cheng exhaled and said regretfully, "I thought I could see you in an evening dress."
"Pervert ~" Yan Zheke rolled her eyes and scolded him with a smile. "Actually, I hate this kind of banquet. Although I can dress up beautifully, I have to socialize with a bunch of unfamiliar people. My face will be stiff from smiling … Anyway, it's super boring. I'd rather do a set of test papers!"
She complained a lot about the boredom of this kind of banquet. She was in high spirits, which made Lou Cheng smile gently.
When all the dishes were served, Lou Cheng remembered to tell the girl what had happened before. "Ke, in fact, I can't go on a date tomorrow because I won the Youth Tournament and my reputation has spread. My master asked me to go to Wuyue immediately and formally become his disciple."
"Formally become his disciple?" Yan Zheke didn't hide her joy and was sincerely happy for her boyfriend.
"Yes, it's so sudden that I'm a little nervous. I don't know what sect it is and what kind of fellow disciples there will be." Lou Cheng frankly shared his feelings, hoping that his girlfriend, who was born in a martial arts family, could provide some experience.
Yan Zheke looked up and pondered for a while before she said, "That's right.
"Cheng, it's natural for you to be nervous. You can't be so stupid to think that your fellow disciples will be good to you, even if your master is a Mighty One with physical invulnerability or one of the actual leaders of the sect."
"What do you mean?" Lou Cheng didn't know anything about the ecological environment of the sect.
Yan Zheke took back her hand and explained seriously, "A sect is a group of interests. Before you appeared, they had formed a stable distribution of interests. But you, as the champion of the Youth Tournament and a strong Professional Eighth Pin or even Seventh Pin, will definitely break this balance. It's not that you can get a lot of benefits now, but with the speed of your growth, in the future, who will be the leader and who will be the assistant? What do you think those disciples of the same age as you, who are trained as the next generation of leaders of the sect will think of you? Will they be harmonious and friendly? "
She recalled the things that grandpa and uncle usually discussed and the content in the books and described it in a sharp and cold tone.
"… Stopping people from making money is like killing their parents." Lou Cheng thought for a moment and answered with a common saying.
Especially since he hadn't practiced martial arts with his fellow disciples since childhood, he had feelings for them. He was considered an outsider, a wild, and a gift from heaven. Anyone would reject, resist, and loathe him.
Seeing her boyfriend's serious look, Yan Zheke smiled and said, "It won't go that far. After all, your master is in charge, so they won't do anything too outrageous. At most, they will find a reason to provoke you. Don't be provoked and always stay on the right side. It'll be fine as long as you don't get provoked."
"Okay." Lou Cheng nodded thoughtfully.
Yan Zheke pursed her lips and said, "Also, don't trust those overly enthusiastic fellow disciples. Actually, you don't need to be afraid of those who come at you openly. What you need to be afraid of are those who play dirty tricks. They will lead you to eat, drink, and have fun and seduce you into depravity. If you really get addicted to something, then it's your own fault. You won't be able to blame them at all. My grandpa had a martial nephew who was crippled in this way.
She believed that Cheng wouldn't fool around in places like nightclubs, but she was always worried that he wouldn't be able to stand up to others and refuse their kindness.
Lou Cheng listened in a daze. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Where there are people, there is Jianghu …"
…
At 6: 50 p.m., Lou Cheng, wearing a white martial arts suit with black edges, arrived at the Youth Tournament celebration reception in high spirits.
A long red carpet had been laid out in front of him. There were fans holding banners and cameras everywhere, just like when he had first met Zhang Zhutong.
Lou Cheng glanced around and found banners and signs with his name on them. He had a new understanding of the crazy number of fans in the forum in the past two days.
He took a deep breath and walked to the entrance with a faint smile on his face. He walked on the red carpet with his head held high.
Click! Click! Click!
Flashes lit up one after another, and shouts of "Lou Cheng" burst out, welcoming the main character of the night.
After walking down the red carpet, Lou Cheng entered the banquet hall. Before he had time to look around, he saw a meticulous old man with white hair combed horizontally.
"I'll call you nephew. Your master and I have been good friends for many years." The old man laughed and said, "Alas, I'm old and forgetful. I haven't introduced myself yet. I used to be the head of the provincial police department, but now I'm retired. I'm just an old man, She Dawei."
"Hello, Uncle She. Sorry for troubling you." Lou Cheng followed his master's seniority and greeted him.
Back then, regarding Wang Xu's matter, Master must have used this clue to find Director Xing step by step.
She Dawei laughed and said, "It's just a small matter. Don't mention it all the time. Come, let me introduce you to some seniors."
He led Lou Cheng to Yin Huaming and introduced him again. "This is Xiao Yin, the chairman of the Provincial Martial Artist Association. You can call him Brother Yin, but he's not young anymore. You'd better call him Uncle Yin. You're a martial artist, so don't worry about this."
"Hello, Uncle Yin." Lou Cheng almost burst out laughing. He followed the guidance and called him Uncle Yin.
Yin Huaming shook his head with a smile. "Martial Uncle She, I'm only ten years younger than you."
With this new introduction and Lou Cheng calling him Uncle Yin, their relationship was different.
"Who told your master to accept a disciple at the age of 20?" She Dawei laughed and scolded him.
Then he introduced Lou Cheng to Luo Zhong, the governor in charge of martial arts affairs, Yu Hong, the senior vice principal of the police academy, and the boss of the Divine Fire Club, Gao Jianxi, a 60-year-old Fourth Pin expert. He introduced the big shots of the Xing Province martial arts world to his nephew.
Seeing one stranger after another and greeting them with a smile, Lou Cheng thoroughly understood the feeling of Yan Zheke's face stiffening up when she talked to him.
After a round of socializing with the big shots, he slipped to the balcony with the excuse of going to the bathroom. He hid in a corner and complained to his girlfriend. In the end, he said, "… This is probably the trouble of being famous. Compared to this kind of banquet, I'd rather study with you in the classroom."
Before Yan Zheke replied, Lou Cheng saw a tall man enter the balcony with a glass of red wine. He looked less than 40 years old and was very thin. His eyes hid deep tiredness, but his spirit gave people a feeling of excitement.
"Lou Cheng?" The man chuckled and raised his glass.
"Hello," Lou Cheng answered instinctively out of habit. Then he raised his glass of water.
"I'm Wang Zhou." The man said with a smile, "Last night there was a rumor in the underworld that someone offered 30 million yuan for your head."
"Ah?" Lou Cheng was surprised and confused.
Who did I offend?
Wang Zhou sipped the wine and said leisurely, "The rumor disappeared as soon as it came out. Because no one who can kill you is willing to sacrifice a stable life. There's no need to take risks. After all, we live in a stable and harmonious society. Besides, even if you get the money, you may not be alive to spend it. This is just a small episode. Don't worry too much. It just means that someone doesn't like you very much."
"How do you know?" Lou Cheng thought for a while and asked.
Wang Zhou gently swirled his wine glass, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence.
"My friends in the martial arts world like to call me Master Ba."
Master Ba? Master Ba behind the Sage Hall … No wonder … Lou Cheng took a breath and suddenly felt that his life seemed to be a little different after this championship.
Will I encounter any problems when I formally become a disciple?
In the venue of the banquet, Gu Shuang, in a black evening dress, secretly looked at the balcony and sent a message to Yan Zheke,
"Hehe, Ke Ke, your man is very honest. He didn't even look at those socialites. Those philatelists are very disappointed!"
"Why do you care about this?" Yan Zheke replied with anger and amusement, "By the way, bring me four bottles of original-proof wine from Ningshui Daqu. Cheng has to meet his master tomorrow. He can't go empty-handed."
…
The next day, Lou Cheng took his luggage and went to the airport to start his journey.
