The headquarters of Jiangnan Sub-Commission in Da Xia and Wu Meng was located at the bank of West Lake.
It was the first time for Zuo Yi to come here.
His swordsmanship certification of Amateur Level Five and Professional Level Three was completed in the Hangzhou branch of Wu Meng. The Jiangnan Sub-Commission corresponded to the provincial level of Professional Level Three and above.
However, Zuo Yi could easily find the exact location of the Jiangnan Sub-Commission without the help of the GPS. Because it was located in the imperial palace of the previous dynasty, which was now part of the Hangzhou Palace Museum.
The most complete ancient buildings in Hangzhou were preserved here. The palaces and buildings were majestic and magnificent, and the carved beams and painted rafters were beautiful. It was also a must-see place for tourists.
The main gate of the Jiangnan Sub-Commission was north of the Ancient Palace. Zuo Yi arrived here before two o 'clock in the afternoon.
He parked his Harley-Davidson motorcycle in the parking area and walked toward the gate in front of him. However, he was stopped before he could take a few steps.
"Mr. Zuo Yi."
The man said with a smile, "We meet again."
"It's you again."
Zuo Yi could not help but frown, "I think I made it clear last time."
The man who stopped him was Wang Sheng, the deputy general manager of the Jiangnan branch of Longwu Group. He wanted to recruit Zuo Yi to join the Jiangnan branch of Longwu Group as a mentor, and offered a high annual salary of five million yuan.
However, Zuo Yi rejected him on the spot.
After that, Zuo Yi specially investigated the Longwu Group. It was a very powerful chain of martial arts industry groups, mainly engaged in the management of high-end martial arts clubs. Obviously, they wanted to recruit Zuo Yi because of his rising reputation.
After being rejected by Zuo Yi, the Longwu Group did not bother him anymore.
Unexpectedly, Zuo Yi met this man again today.
"I know."
Wang Sheng said with a smile, "Today's situation is a bit special. An acquaintance of yours wants to talk to you face to face. He is waiting for you in the cafe opposite. Can I bother you for a few minutes?"
Acquaintance? Which acquaintance?
A trace of doubt arose in Zuo Yi's heart.
He looked at his watch. There were still 15 minutes before the certification assessment.
Zuo Yi thought for a while and nodded, "Five minutes then."
If it was just Wang Sheng alone, Zuo Yi would not even bother to look at him. But since he was an acquaintance of his, why was he being so mysterious? He wanted to see what kind of medicine the other party was selling in his gourd!
Under the guidance of Wang Sheng, Zuo Yi came to a coffee shop across the road.
He saw this "acquaintance" by the window at the door.
"Ling Yu?"
What Zuo Yi didn't expect was that the other party was really an acquaintance!
"Senior Brother Zuo Yi, long time no see."
The other person took a sip of the coffee and said with a smile, "How have you been?"
He was very young, probably in his early twenties. He was wearing a black suit, and his short hair made him look very energetic. There was a faint smile on his handsome and upright face, and a black earring on his left ear. He looked very much like a star in the entertainment industry.
A few girls who were drinking coffee in the cafe kept looking at him with interest.
However, his temperament was like an unsheathed sword. Although he smiled at Zuo Yi, his eyes were sharp.
Zuo Yi pulled the corners of his mouth and sat down opposite him, "It's been a long time. You look good."
To be specific, the two of them hadn't seen each other for almost five years.
Ling Yu was also Shanghe's disciple and a direct disciple. However, he joined later than Zuo Yi.
When Zuo Yi left Tenhiro Budokan, Ling Yu had only joined for half a year.
Ling Yu was only seventeen years old at that time.
Zuo Yi had a deep impression of Ling Yu. Ling Yu's family background wasn't good, but he was very hardworking. He practiced martial arts as if he didn't care about his life. Moreover, his talent was quite good, so his progress was very fast.
In contrast, although Zuo Yi's talent was higher than Ling Yu's, Ling Yu's diligence was at least three streets ahead of him!
Therefore, Shanghe appreciated him and even reduced his tuition. Shang Yulin also took good care of this little junior brother.
Although Zuo Yi had been his junior brother for half a year, the two of them didn't have much in common. Their relationship could only be said to be ordinary.
What surprised Zuo Yi was that after not seeing him for a few years, Ling Yu had completely changed. It was as if he was a completely different person. He almost couldn't recognize him!
"I'm now a specially hired teacher of Longwu Group."
Ling Yu said bluntly, "Zuo Yi, with your current strength and fame, there's no meaning in staying on Tenhiro. Come with me to Longwu. We can definitely work together to start a business!"
He tapped his finger on the coffee table and didn't give Zuo Yi a chance to respond. He continued, "Did Shanghe leave his' Shang Sword Manual 'to you? Show it to me later. "
"Also, help me persuade Shang Shijie not to be so stubborn. I didn't do it on purpose …"
"Wait!"
Zuo Yi interrupted, "Ling Yu, so Shifu's death is related to you?"
"What does it have to do with me!"
Ling Yu said anxiously, "Sparring is fair and square. Fists and feet don't have eyes. It's hard to avoid accidental injuries. He was already sick, but he insisted on being brave. After the incident, I specially invited a doctor to treat him, but they were all chased out by him. What else can I do?"
"Shang Yulin didn't tell you?"
"I see."
Zuo Yi nodded and said with a calm expression.
Shang Yulin didn't want to say much about the cause of Shanghe's death. Out of respect for her and Bao 'er's sudden appearance, Zuo Yi didn't investigate for the time being.
However, Zuo Yi swore in front of Shanghe's coffin that he would never forget.
He didn't expect the truth to reveal itself so quickly!
Although Ling Yu didn't say it very clearly, the matter was very clear. Although Shanghe's death couldn't be directly attributed to Ling Yu, it was still closely related to him.
Then what caused the master and disciple to fall out?
Zuo Yi didn't think it was Shanghe's fault.
Looking at this person's emotionless appearance and thinking about how Shanghe had taken care of him and helped him in the past, he was a living example of an ingrate!
He even wanted the Shang Clan Sword Manual!
"Don't worry …"
Ling Yu's expression became arrogant. "As long as you follow me, I will not treat you unfairly. I will also bring you to another world, a world that truly belongs to the strong!"
It was like a gift, but also like charity.
Zuo Yi smiled.
He looked deeply at the other person and said, "Goodbye."
Ling Yu's expression darkened. His gaze towards Zuo Yi instantly became gloomy. "Zuo Yi, have you thought it through?"
Zuo Yi was too lazy to reply. He got up and left — the time for the examination was about to arrive.
One thing at a time, no one should think of running away.
He thought it through very clearly!
Ling Yu used a wolf-like gaze to stare at Zuo Yi's back until Wang Sheng walked over.
"Chief Ling …"
This deputy general manager of Longwu Branch nodded and bowed in front of him with a fawning expression.
"I can't use this person."
Ling Yu drank the coffee in his cup in one gulp. His eyes were cold. "Then go arrange it."
Wang Sheng's heart trembled. He quickly said, "Okay."
Ling Yu stood up and took a deep breath. He said, "Why do you think there are always people who don't know how to appreciate favors?"
Wang Sheng smiled mockingly and lowered his head.
At this moment, Zuo Yi had just arrived at the entrance of Wu Meng's Jiangnan Sub-Commission's headquarters.
After he expressed his intention to the front desk, a staff member quickly came out and led him to the reception room.
After filling out an application form in the reception room, a senior member of the Jiangnan Sub-Commission personally came to receive Zuo Yi. He brought him to the Wu Meng's internal training room, which was specially used for the examination.
There were already many people waiting there. The combat arena for the examination had also been prepared.
There were also staff members who had set up cameras.
Under normal circumstances, the Jiangnan Wu Meng Branch was not responsible for the examination of a Professional Eighth Dan. However, because of Zuo Yi's current popularity and influence, the Branch had specially designed today's examination for Zuo Yi.
According to Wu Meng's procedures, the person responsible for the examination of Zuo Yi would be a Professional Ninth Dan instructor from the headquarters.
When Zuo Yi came out of the changing room after changing into his martial arts suit, he saw the examiner already on the arena.
The examiner wore a black martial arts suit and smiled at Zuo Yi. "Senior Zuo, we meet again."
His white teeth looked like they were about to devour someone.
It was Ling Yu!
