Chapter 99 What is Brotherhood
The number of words, "Dragon has never been stingy with numbers, just hoping everyone will also use their own strength to support!"
"Yu Jia?" Hao Ren and the others all felt that this name was very familiar, but for a moment they didn't react, thinking in their hearts which person this was, did they know him?
"It's Xie Yu Jia, your class monitor." Xie Wan Jun continued.
Hao Ren's "Wait a minute", followed by a chorus of terrified faces staring at each other, and a unanimous "Ah" escaped their lips.
"He's my sister, basketball isn't his strong suit, but he can guide a rookie like you just fine!" Xie Wanjun said, looking at Hao Ren.
"Little sister!" they exclaimed in unison. They muttered to themselves one by one, then couldn't help but shout out, "Ah? Little sister!"
Slender and pure Xie Yu Jia, majestic and rough Xie Wan Jun, the two images are put in my heart for comparison, how can they be pieced together!
This dark-faced "gorilla" actually has such a beautiful sister!
"What's with the looks on your faces?" Xie Wanjun asked calmly, looking at them lightly.
Even Yu Rong, who was usually the most articulate, was shocked and couldn't say a word.
And Hao Ren thought that on that clear morning, he rode his bicycle with Xie Yu Jia from the west gate of the school where the hotels were lined up, and happened to bump into Xie Wan Jun who was leading the basketball team for a morning run. At that time, Xie Yu Jia sat in the back, obediently holding onto his waist.
"It's settled then, you, tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock gather at the school's main entrance, starting with a morning run, and participate in the basketball team's special training. I'll have Yu Jia teach you the basic movements of basketball step by step, also at 6 o'clock in the morning, on this outdoor basketball court!"
Xie Wanjun said coldly and turned around to leave.
A beautiful woman personally guides basketball? Zhou Liren's heart moved, and he hastily plucked up the courage to ask, "Brother, can I join the basketball team?"
He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the round and bulging muscles on his shoulders. "Look, I'm very strong too, and look, I'm one meter eighty tall."
Xie Wanjun gave him a light glance and threw out a sentence before he could finish speaking, "You are still far from being qualified!"
Then he turned around and left them with a magnificent back view, departing steadily.
Xie Wanjun's words, which were meant to be sarcastic, dealt a heavy blow to Zhou Liren. He clutched his chest and stamped his feet, saying to Zhao Jiaxin, "I'm very strong too, right? Zhao Jiaxin, don't forget about your brother when you join the basketball team, you have to recommend me to join too!"
He was so eager to join the basketball team, it seemed like he had forgotten that Zhao Jiaxin had agreed to join the basketball team earlier, and his own surprised expression was as if he were looking at a "traitor".
Things came suddenly, and Yu Rong was stunned for half a day before sorting out these facts: Zhao Jiaxin was suddenly recruited into the school basketball team; Hao Ren is going to participate in next week's Donghai University vs. Jinghua University basketball game, and may fight side by side with Zhao Jiaxin; Zhao Jiaxin was asked to join the basketball team's special training, and Hao Ren will be personally guided by Xie Yuja on basic basketball moves; And usually gentle and beautiful Xie Yuja, is actually the younger sister of Xie Wanjun!
Not only Yu Rong, but even Zhao Jiaxin himself was a bit at a loss. He didn't expect that after fighting with the basketball team, he would unexpectedly gain good fortune and catch Xie Wanjun's attention, being recruited into the basketball team to fill their vacancy! And it was even the important position of "point guard"!
They didn't know that for next week's game, Xie Wanjun was actually eager to recruit Hao Ren! Only with his physical strength and combat power can they hope to get through this tough battle in the absence of the main force!
Xie Wanjun wanted to punish those few disobedient troublemakers, but deep down he didn't want to lose that match either!
"Zhao Jiayun has potential, but it will take time to cultivate. Fortunately, Hao Ren understood the implication of this 'package deal' for the sake of his good friend."
So, Xie Wanjun appears to belittle Hao Ren and elevate Zhao Jiatun on the surface, but in reality, he values Hao Ren more. However, he doesn't want to be suspected of "reporting private grievances", so he simply lets his own sister go guide Hao Ren instead of putting Hao Ren into the basketball team for cruel training.
He deliberately said Hao Ren was no good, fearing that Hao Ren would be too confident and his tail would be raised too high. Because the key to winning or losing next week's match lies in this Hao Ren!
The captain of this rough and tough basketball team is not stupid at all! He is meticulous in his thinking, steady in his actions, if it weren't for this, how could he lead the Donghai University basketball team to victory, winning the championship of the National College Basketball League?
Relatively speaking, Hao Ren is not stupid either. He accepted Xie Wanjun's request because he wanted to help his good brother Zhao Jiaxin make a big debut! Next week on the court of Donghai University against Jinghua University, he will cooperate with Zhao Jiaxin with all his might and let him show off! Even if he doesn't understand basketball, he knows that the performance in the first game is related to Zhao Jiaxin's future status in the basketball team!
"Zhao Jiayun, you successfully entered the basketball team! You have to treat us now!" Zhou Liren, who failed to enter the basketball team, shouted at Zhao Jiayun with a mix of frustration and envy.
"Please, please, please, you'll know what it means to ask!" Zhao Jiayun stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Liren's head, then turned around and said to Yu Rong, "Tonight, call out all the people who are in a good mood, I'm treating them to dinner!"
After finishing, he couldn't help but burst out laughing. Who would have thought that while playing table tennis with Hao Ren, they were discovered by the basketball coach and unexpectedly joined the school's basketball team, even getting a chance to participate in the national university student basketball league!
After this, they no longer had the heart to play basketball. Yu Rong wanted to go back and spread the news, while Zhao Jiatun was eager to tell his former high school classmates. He would probably invite them out for a meal in advance to celebrate.
Then everyone went their separate ways, Yu Rong took the basketball back to his dormitory, Zhao Jiaxin went to meet a high school classmate who also got into Donghai University, and Zhou Liren followed Yu Rong to join in on the fun.
Hao Ren saw that it was almost 4 o'clock and thought for a moment before going to look for Su Han.
Since the day Su Han put the Tai Shan bracelet on him, Hao Ren didn't dare to get close to her again. However, not approaching her wasn't a solution either, after all, some cultivation doubts still needed her guidance. Although Vice Principal Ling's attitude was kind, he was indeed very busy, and Hao Ren didn't want to disturb him frequently.
Hao Ren arrived at Su Han's office door, exactly at four o'clock. He knocked on the door and heard a calm "come in" from inside, so he pushed the door open and went in.
Today's Su Han is wearing a colorful floral skirt. The design of the thin shoulder strap reveals her round and smooth shoulders, sweet and seductive. And the tight-fitting cut of the dress highlights her perfect figure, making it four-dimensional and attractive. Any boy who sees this cool-looking Su Han will not be able to help but swallow his saliva.
At this moment, she was leaning against the window, her long legs propped up on a small stool, reclining in a slightly tilted position in her chair, comfortably browsing through a magazine in the warm sunlight.
Su Han wouldn't have any problem being a model if she weren't a teacher. Hao Ren thought to himself as he walked over, clearing his throat lightly twice.
Su Han glanced at him and then at the seat opposite, "Practice yourself."
"Oh." Hao Ren walked over and sat cross-legged on the bamboo mat with a Tai Chi diagram.
Before closing his eyes, Hao Ren glanced at Su Han again. Just in time to see her pick up the coffee on the windowsill, flipping through a magazine while taking a small sip.
It turns out Su Han also had such a modern time. Hao Ren corrected his view of Su Han once again in his heart.
It seemed that Su Huan felt Hao Ren was watching her without entering the cultivation state, so she said while looking at a magazine, "You're quite impressive today."
"Are you talking about the rock climbing club?" Hao Ren thought for a moment and asked her.
"What else could it be?" Su Han retorted.
Hao Ren couldn't help but smile and stopped talking. He had thought that Su Huan was oblivious to the outside world, only knowing how to cultivate in seclusion, but now it seemed that as an inspector, she indeed had ears everywhere.
"Are you going to Longgong this weekend?" Su Han asked further.
"Uh-huh."
Hao Ren nodded.
This time, Hao Ren was indeed a little "afraid" of this. Su Heng: As expected of the Dragon Clan's "Brocade Guard", their ability to grasp intelligence is simply terrifying.
"Come here." Su Han thought for a moment and slightly beckoned to Hao Ren.
Hao Ren stood up and walked in front of her. Whether it was good or bad, all resistance was futile in the face of such a high-level expert today.
She grasped Hao Ren's arm and felt his wrist carefully.
Hao Ren was caught by her, and he only felt that her palm was soft and boneless, smooth and delicate, with an unspeakable comfort.
Su Huan is indeed the number one beauty of Donghai, no wonder so many people are infatuated with her.
"Your heart is beating fast." Su Han said calmly.
"It's not possible for me to be unhappy when I'm caught by a beauty like you." Hao Ren replied.
Su Han raised her eyes and stared at Hao Ren, "Glib-tongued."
Perhaps she was a bit unwilling, and then she said another sentence, "Believe it or not, I'll give you two more Tai Shan bracelets?"
"Ah, let's just drop it." Hao Ren hastily backed down. If he really angered the beautiful Su Han, that would be a terrible thing.
However, he felt that this icy beauty occasionally had a bit of cuteness.
Su Huan released Hao Ren's arm, "Compared to last time, there is progress, but the ends of two meridians are deviated, which are Yangwei Meridian and Yinqiao Meridian. You feel it yourself."
Hao Ren followed his words and focused his mind on the two places, circulating his Qi in a circle. Indeed, he felt some subtle blockages in those areas.
However, these were just three or four very small acupoints. Hao Ren activated the accumulated heavenly and earthly energy within his body, and with a few pops, they were all cleared.
The vital energy converged and formed a perfect cycle within his body, immediately making Hao Ren feel that the speed of mobilizing the heaven and earth's aura had also greatly accelerated.
Seeing Su Han lower her head and continue reading the magazine, Hao Ren felt both admiration and gratitude: indeed, it's still necessary to have a master guide, if he had been exploring on his own, who knows when he would have discovered the anomaly at the end of the meridian, and the time it takes to break through the third layer of the Concentrated Spirit Technique will be delayed for a long time.
Zhao Guang often met with me and also gave some guidance, but he didn't discover the flaws in my cultivation, which is enough to prove that Su Heng's strength is much higher than Zhao Guang's.
Seeing Su Han put on an expression of loving to care or not, Hao Ren returned to his seat earlier and prepared to focus on cultivation. He was about to close his eyes when he thought for a moment and asked, "Su Han, aren't you practicing?"
Su Han looked up at him, "You really think I'm a leveling maniac? I need to rest too... Besides, every time you come to discuss things, it affects my cultivation to some extent."
Hao Ren smiled bitterly. This teacher, although highly skilled, had an attitude that was truly unbearable.
He closed his eyes and was about to meditate when Su Huan suddenly said, "You know that Xiao Zi's birthday banquet is coming up, right?"
"It seems like next month?" Hao Ren replied.
"Uh-huh, I've already received the invitation. This time, Xiao Zi's birthday party is going to be huge, with many heavyweight figures who have been in hiding for years making an appearance." Su Hang said.
"Is Ah Zi's old age birthday more important?" Hao Ren asked.
"Suddenly, Su Han hummed softly,"You think too simply, if it were just an ordinary banquet, I wouldn't be telling you this."
Hao Ren felt there was more to it, and Su Han's stomach was hanging in suspense, so she asked, "What do you mean?"
"This time's banquet, seemingly a birthday celebration for Zi Ye, is actually a comparison of strength between the Four Seas, especially the East Sea and West Sea. Zhao Guang has personally taken action this time, inviting many heavyweight figures to come out and assist, on the surface, these figures' appearance is to celebrate Zi Ye's birthday, but in reality, it's to show their stance."
Seeing Su Han's serious expression, Hao Ren became solemn as well. "Is a big war about to begin?"
"It won't be as severe as a full-scale war, but small skirmishes will definitely continue. The main conflict is between Donghai and Xihai, two families that appear to have a harmonious relationship on the surface but have actually been deteriorating over the years. While Donghai's business scale on land far surpasses that of Xihai, in terms of cultivation strength, Xihai has a slight upper hand."
"Isn't Zhao Yanzi's third uncle very formidable?" Hao Ren asked.
Su Han shook her head, "It's just that with him around, the Western Sea doesn't dare to make a move. Zhao Kuang is considered the number one figure in the mortal realm right now, aside from those old guys who don't come out for thousands of years, almost no one can beat him."
Zhao Yanzi's third uncle is so strong" Hao Ren was shocked again in his heart. The praise he heard from Xia Chengxiang, which was close to flattery, compared to the praise of a top-notch master like Su Hang, felt completely different.
It's no wonder that Zhao Yanzi's third uncle would be so arrogant. Hao Ren thought to himself.
"But" Su Han's words took a turn, "Zhao Ke's heavenly tribulation is also next month. If Zhao Ke can pass the heavenly tribulation and ascend to the Heavenly Dragon, then at least Xi Hai will still be cautious for a while."
Su Han didn't continue speaking, and Hao Ren's mood also sank a bit along with her tone.
A true master of the human realm is invincible; a heavenly tribulation would certainly be extremely formidable.
"So, don't think that just because you're Zhao Guang's son-in-law, everything will be fine. If the East Sea and West Sea really clash, it's hard to say whether they can protect Ah Zi or not."
A Zi is the daughter of the Dragon King, will there be danger? Hao Ren's heart skipped a beat.
"In fact, the East Sea and West Sea have been holding grudges for a long time, and the spark that ignited the conflict in recent years is actually Ah Zi. And you, Su Han stared at Hao Ren, "just happened to become Zhao Yanzi's husband at this time."
Hao Ren's heart sank even further.
"I still can't figure out what Zhao Guang is thinking, maybe he's making the worst plan, handing Azi over to you and having a life-and-death struggle with Xihai himself." Su Han said.
Hao Ren didn't speak and fell into deep thought. At this moment, his heart suddenly became chaotic, and he no longer had any thoughts of cultivation.
"Whose side are you on?" Hao Ren asked her after a few seconds.
"I'm the Review Officer, theoretically I should maintain the stability of the entire Dragon Clan, but if they really fight, I can only protect what a Review Officer can intervene to stop." Su Hang replied.
Hao Ren fell into deep thought once again, then asked Su Huan, "What should I do?"
"Work hard." Su Han threw out four words.
Hao Ren didn't expect such an answer, but thinking about it again, that's indeed the case. What else can he do? Besides working hard to improve his own strength, there's nothing else he can do. These dragon clan internal struggles are not something secular powers can intervene in.
"Next month at Little Purple's birthday party, there will be many heavyweight figures and some other inspectors who will appear in various forms. Any slightest impurity of the dragon clan aura in the entire venue will be detected by them. Unfortunately, as Little Purple's husband, you must make an appearance. In other words," Su Hang drawled, "if you don't successfully advance to Kan-level to prove that you've become a member of the dragon clan, your situation will be very dangerous."
It will be very dangerous.
These four words were almost spoken by Su Han one word at a time.
From Zhao Kuo's words and deeds, it can be seen that these so-called masters have an attitude towards ordinary people. Alas, it seems that they are being forced to a desperate situation.
Hao Ren's forehead was covered in sweat as he closed his eyes and began to seriously cultivate the most basic technique, concentrating his mind.
On the other hand, Su Han let out a long sigh. She lowered her head to take a look at her own slender and beautiful hands. Alas, if this little guy can't even reach the Kan level, should I make my move or not?
