Chapter 172

Looking up, Changge was standing not far away, looking at the two brothers with a beautiful smile.

The female disciples of the Misty School were outstanding. Every one of them was incomparably beautiful and had an extraordinary temperament. Changge was dressed in a tight suit, looking particularly valiant in the dark night. At this time, a crack suddenly appeared in the dark clouds in the sky. The bright moonlight shone down on Changge's body. Under the moonlight, Changge saw Zhang Xiaohu looking at her. She pursed her lips and walked up to him.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt an electric shock in his heart. He felt a burst of heartache, followed by a burst of heat. His eyes stared at Changge, and he could no longer speak.

Zhang Xiaohua did not notice her second brother's appearance. She hurriedly greeted Changge and said, "Sister Changge, this is my second brother, Zhang Xiaohu. Haha, he is now Hero Wen's disciple."

Her words were full of infinite pride.

Changge smiled and walked up to Zhang Xiaohu. She saluted and said, "Hello, Zhang Xiaohu. I don't know if I should call you junior brother or senior brother?"

In fact, according to the rules of the Misty School, the first to enter the door is the elder. Zhang Xiaohu really did have to call Changge senior sister. However, the disciples of Ou Peng's line also had some special characteristics. Sometimes, the seniority was also determined by age.

However, in Zhang Xiaohu's case, entering the Misty School at such an old age was rare, so Changge asked this question.

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Changge's face, which was as beautiful as a flower. He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Based on his usual personality, he would probably call her Senior Apprentice Sister out of humility. But in front of this girl, he couldn't bring himself to call her Senior Apprentice Sister.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua was very puzzled. She said to Changge, "My second brother is older than me by five years. He should be nineteen this year. Sister Changge, how old are you?"

Hearing this, Changge smiled and said, "In that case, your second brother should be older."

After that, he cupped his hands and saluted Zhang Xiaohu, "I am Changge of Mingcui Hall. Greetings, Senior Martial Brother."

Seeing that Changge was so generous, Zhang Xiaohu was even more delighted. He also saluted and said, "I'm Zhang Xiaohu. Greetings, Junior Sister Changge."

After the two saluted, Changge asked, "Senior Martial Brother, are you the disciple who recently joined the sect?"

These words were very vague, but Zhang Xiaohu understood and nodded with a bitter smile.

Chang Ge smiled and said, "I was wondering why there was a rumor recently that a disciple relied on nepotism to join the Misty School's direct disciples. I was very puzzled. Our Boss Ou isn't a person who only listens to one side. How could he make such a mistake?

Now that I've seen Zhang Xiaohua, I know the reason. "

Zhang Xiaohu didn't quite understand. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly explained, "Elder Sister Changge and I went out with our Manor Lord Ou. That's how we met."

Zhang Xiaohu also suddenly understood. He hurriedly opened the door and said, "This isn't the place to talk. Junior Sister Changge, please come in."

Changge waved her hand and said, "No need, Senior Martial Brother. The Hall Master told me to bring Zhang Xiaohua here. I still have to hurry back. There's a competition tomorrow, so I have to go back early to prepare."

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "I heard that the competition at the Martial Arts Exhibition is very important. Junior Sister should go back early. I won't invite you in for a chat."

Changge saluted the two again and turned to leave. Zhang Xiaohu suddenly asked, "That, Junior Sister Changge, where will your competition be tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Changge covered her mouth and laughed, "Our Mingcui Hall's competition will naturally be in the hall. You male disciples aren't allowed to watch."

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He scratched his head.

Changge looked at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Isn't Zhang Xiaohua also competing tomorrow? You can go and cheer him on.

I'll see if tomorrow's competition ends early. If it ends early, I'll also go to the Young Eagle Hall to cheer Zhang Xiaohua on! "

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu was overjoyed. He watched Changge leave.

After Changge left, the two brothers entered the courtyard. Without waiting for Zhang Xiaohua to sit down, Zhang Xiaohu impatiently asked, "Xiaohua, why are you also participating in the Martial Arts Exhibition?"

Zhang Xiaohua had no choice but to be patient and tell him the whole story again.

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help but feel uneasy. He said, "Xiaohua, how can you do as you please? No matter what, you have to discuss this with me."

Zhang Xiaohua stared blankly and asked in puzzlement, "What's there to discuss?

Isn't it just a martial arts competition? "

Zhang Xiaohu stamped his feet and said, "Xiaohua, you didn't stay in the Misty School. You don't know how powerful the Misty School is. When I was in the Lotus Flower Escort Agency, I felt that my aptitude wasn't good enough. As long as we have the will to endure hardships, we won't be worse than others."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "That's right, second brother. I also feel the same way."

Zhang Xiaohu bitterly smiled and said, "I've gained a lot of knowledge during my time in the Misty School. Let's not talk about the level of brocade clothing and the high level of cloth clothing. Let's just talk about the level of cloth clothing that you're participating in. I've actually seen a few young disciples compete. I won't hide it from you, my self-esteem has taken a big hit. I feel that the martial arts that I've learned is simply not a match for others. Think about it, a child whose height just reaches my chest has better martial arts than me, and whose internal strength is higher than mine. If I were to be beaten down in the arena, where would I put my face?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua slightly frowned and interrupted her second brother, saying, "Second brother, I think what you said is wrong. What does this martial arts competition have to do with face?

If you don't compete for the sake of face, then your martial arts will never improve.

As the ancients say, the one who reaches the top is the teacher.

It doesn't matter if the other person is young or old, as long as there is something that we can learn from them, we should humbly learn from them. What do you think, second brother? "

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, his face turned slightly red and he said in a low voice, "What you say makes sense."

However, he immediately put on a straight face and said, "But why are you participating in this martial arts competition?

I know your martial arts foundation. If it's just to learn, you can let Captain He and the others teach you properly first. It won't be too late to participate after three to five years of practice. Who can you beat right now? How can you learn anything from it? "

When it came to the results of the competition, Zhang Xiaohua didn't say anything more. After all, he was still a youth. When he reprimanded Zhang Xiaohu just now, he spoke with conviction. In fact, wasn't he the same as well?

Otherwise, he wouldn't have wanted to be in the same group as those tall disciples.

When Zhang Xiaohu saw that his younger brother wasn't speaking, his heart ached as he asked, "Did you not win a single match today?"

Zhang Xiaohua could only nod his head.

Zhang Xiaohu patted his head and comforted him, "It's okay, Xiaohua. Our foundation is weak and can't compare to them. Didn't I just say that as long as we have the heart to improve and cultivate hard? If we can't do it this year, there's still next year. If we can't do it next year, there's still the year after.

When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, he vigorously nodded his head.

Just as he was nodding his head, he heard Zhang Xiaohua's stomach rumble thunderously.

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "I was wondering why you ran over to my place. So you haven't eaten yet.

Come, let's go and try our food. "

With that said, he pulled Zhang Xiaohua out of the small courtyard with his head held high.

After eating, Zhang Xiaohua rubbed his stomach as if he hadn't had enough. He followed Second Brother to the tidy and lively main road of the Misty School. Zhang Xiaohu looked at his younger brother and was very happy. He smiled and asked, "Xiaohua, I remember that you like to eat red braised pork. Why didn't you eat more just now?

Also, I feel that your appetite is a lot smaller than before. You're growing now, so you have to eat more. "

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the lush flowers and said, "Second Brother, I don't know what's going on either. It's just that I feel like I'm full after eating for a while. Just like today, if it wasn't for the fact that the competition exhausted my energy, I would have eaten even less at night. The red braised pork tastes okay, but the more I eat, the more I get sick of it."

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you eat better now, so you don't like to eat anymore. If it was at home, you would eat faster than anyone else."

At the mention of home, the two brothers were a bit sad. Zhang Xiaohua asked in a small voice, "Second Brother, I want to go home and take a look. What about you?"

Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "I also want to. We've been out for more than a year, so we should go back and take a look. Although Young Master Li has already reported back to the family that he's safe, Mom and Dad still miss us when they don't see us."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said, "Then when can we go back?"

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a bit. You should be able to go back at any time."

Zhang Xiaohua quickly said, "Yes, I don't have much to do. It's just that a while ago, I couldn't leave. Captain He and the others are going to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition, so I'll keep an eye on the medicinal field for a while. After the Martial Arts Exhibition, they'll go back and I'll be relaxed. I should be able to go back at any time."

Zhang Xiaohu muttered, "I'm a bit troubled here. I've only just entered the Misty School, so I haven't fully grasped the habits of my Master and the others. At first, they just let me familiarize myself with the environment of the school. I reckon that after the Martial Arts Exhibition, they'll only be able to teach me specific martial arts. So, I don't dare to easily ask for leave from Master."

Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "I know, Second Brother. How about I wait for you? When we go back, it's better if the two of us go back together. If one of us goes back alone, Mom and Dad will be even more worried."

Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a slight smile and said, "Xiaohua, you've also grown up."

Zhang Xiaohua proudly raised her little head and said, "That's right, Second Brother. I'm already thirteen years old, of course I'm an adult."

The two of them chatted like this as they walked back. When they were about to reach Zhang Xiaohu's residence, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly thought, "Second Brother, do you know where the Medicine Hall is?

I want to go see Captain He and Nie Xiao Er. "

Zhang Xiaohu looked at the sky and shook his head, "Forget it, don't go today. It's already late and they're all going to participate in the Martial Arts Exhibition. They're probably cultivating right now. Even if you go, you won't be able to see them. You'll be disturbing them for no reason. Also, don't you have a competition tomorrow? You should go back and rest early.

Rest well. Even if you lose tomorrow, you have to use all your strength to deal with it. "

"Aiyo!"

Zhang Xiaohua cried out and said, "Second Brother, I forgot that when I left Kitty Hawk Hall, Steward Xu said that he had already reserved a room for me. I didn't ask clearly either. Can I not go back tonight? It's already so late, what should I do?"

Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "It's already so late, who are you going to ask? I don't know where this Steward Xu is, but I do know the general location of Kitty Hawk Hall. Forget it, I'll just make do with my place tonight. When I see them tomorrow, I'll properly explain."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and nodded, "That's the only way. I hope there won't be any problems."

The two brothers chatted as they returned to the small courtyard.

Zhang Xiaohu hadn't received any teachings from his master yet. Presumably, Wen Wenhai was thinking about what martial arts to teach Zhang Xiaohu. Moreover, Wen Wenhai had already stopped Zhang Xiaohu from practicing the trash martial arts that he had learned at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency. Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu could only practice fist techniques and the like.

Thus, the two of them each occupied a corner in the small courtyard and began to practice on their own.

After Zhang Xiaohu finished practicing a set of fist techniques, he saw that Zhang Xiaohua was still practicing. He stood there with a chuckle and happily watched his younger brother practice. Very quickly, he discovered that Zhang Xiaohua was practicing that set of fist techniques over and over again. He felt that it was very strange, but immediately after, his heart was moved again and he shouted, "Xiaohua, stop. Let's spar for a bit."

Zhang Xiaohua paused for a moment and happily said, "Okay, Second Brother. Wait a moment. I'll practice a few more times and then stop."

After practicing enough times, that bone-tempering cold stream appeared and Zhang Xiaohua stopped.

Zhang Xiaohu felt very strange and asked, "Xiaohua, why do you practice the same set of fist techniques over and over again?"

Zhang Xiaohua didn't understand and said, "There's nothing strange about it. Second Brother, I only know how to practice this set of fist techniques. If I don't practice it over and over again, what am I practicing?"

Zhang Xiaohu explained, "You don't understand what I mean. I know that you only know this set of fist techniques. What I'm saying is, when I told you to stop, why didn't you stop? Instead, you practiced several times before stopping?"

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment and said, "It's like this, Second Brother. When I practice this set of fist techniques to a certain number of times, there will be a cold stream flowing through the bones in my body. If I don't practice it to a certain level, it won't appear. That's why I have to practice it over and over again."

"Eh?" Zhang Xiaohu's eyes widened and asked, "Really?

This set of fist techniques that you put together? "

Zhang Xiaohua listened to her small chest and proudly said, "Really, Second Brother. Do you want me to teach you and you can try it?"

Zhang Xiaohu didn't suspect that his brother was lying. However, Zhang Xiaohua was currently participating in the martial arts competition. Moreover, he had just entered Misty School and would probably be practicing new martial arts soon. Where would he have the time to practice other things?

Thus, he could only shake his head and regretfully said, "Forget it. Right now, I don't have the time to learn more martial arts. Let's wait until Master teaches me Misty School's martial arts."

Zhang Xiaohua didn't manage to show off her "toy". She pouted and said, "Alright then. When you want to learn, come find me. Hehe."

Then, Zhang Xiaohua got into a stance and said, "Come, Second Brother. Let me try your martial arts."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he was also happy. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Alright. Watch my Liuhe Fist."

Thus, the two brothers stepped forward and began to spar. When the two brothers sparred, they naturally wanted to give way to each other. Zhang Xiaohu knew that Zhang Xiaohua didn't know how to use internal energy, so he didn't use any internal energy in his moves. On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohua knew that Zhang Xiaohu's strength wasn't as great as hers, so she only used 85% of her strength. In short, the two of them sparred harmoniously. Zhang Xiaohua didn't even use the Ethereal Steps.

The two of them sparred for a while. Zhang Xiaohua was actually able to counter every move he made. He fought meticulously. Although Zhang Xiaohu was unable to gain the upper hand several times, he felt very gratified. He knew very well that his younger brother was actually not at a disadvantage in this fist technique. Naturally, he must have put in a lot of effort in his daily practice.

The two of them sparred for a while. Zhang Xiaohu saw that it was getting late and stopped. He smiled and said, "Xiaohua, you've improved a lot. I almost can't beat you."

Zhang Xiaohua's "little tail" stuck up. She smiled and said, "Don't you know whose brother I am? Can't I?"

Zhang Xiaohu chuckled and said, "It's a pity that your internal energy isn't good enough. Otherwise, you could really exchange a few moves with those Young Eagle Hall disciples."

Zhang Xiaohua wasn't happy and said, "It's just that we didn't have this opportunity when we were young. Otherwise, I wouldn't be worse than them."

Zhang Xiaohu comforted her and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Slowly improve. There will always be time to catch up with them.

Come on, let's go inside and sleep. It's late and you still have to participate in the competition tomorrow. "

Zhang Xiaohu's small courtyard wasn't small and the house wasn't small either. However, there was only one kang in the house. As a last resort, the two of them could only squeeze together. In fact, it couldn't be said that they had no choice. Presumably, even if there were two kang beds, the two brothers would still squeeze together.

The two brothers whispered for a while on the kang bed. When Zhang Xiaohu spoke again, there was no sound from the other side. Zhang Xiaohu kicked Zhang Xiaohua but there was no response. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "This kid is still sleeping as soundly as before."

Thus, Zhang Xiaohu also closed his eyes. After a while, he peacefully fell asleep.

In the whole house, there were two breathing sounds, one of which had a very strange frequency. It was Zhang Xiaohua's unique "nine shallow and one deep" breathing. Zhang Xiaohua's "Carefree Heart Sutra" quietly ran again when he was asleep. In the endless night sky, the ethereal star force came as expected and invisibly covered Zhang Xiaohua's whole body. It was slowly guided into the pores of his whole body and then into his meridians to be refined. Tonight's star force was also different from the past. The star force projected for a long time and even attracted a trace of Qi of Heaven and Earth above the Misty School. Following the star force's trajectory, it was also guided into Zhang Xiaohua's body.

The amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth was also several times more than that of Huan Xi Villa. It was guided into Zhang Xiaohua's pores by the star force. After being guided and refined by Zhang Xiaohua, it was constantly integrated into the Genuine Qi that was cheerfully flowing in his body. Every time the Genuine Qi flowed a circle, there would be a slight increase. Although the increase was insignificant, after a night of "hard work" by Zhang Xiaohua, he could feel a slight change.
