Chapter 174
What he was afraid of would come.
As soon as Zhang Xiaohu heard this voice, he immediately shouted in his heart, "Oh no."
How could he let this person see his embarrassment?
What should he do?
While he was thinking, the person had come to his side. It was his junior sister Changge, whom he had just met last night.
Changge was still dressed in tight clothes and looked valiant. Beside her, there was a petite girl with big round eyes and a round face with baby fat, which made people want to love her. At this moment, the round eyes that could speak were staring at Zhang Xiaohu strangely, with a doubtful expression.
Zhang Xiaohu wanted to make up a lie, but facing Changge's face, he couldn't tell a lie at all.
In fact, Zhang Xiaohu forgot that in this square full of children, many people had seen his actions. Changge had seen it carefully from a distance, so it would be troublesome if he lied.
Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and then said frankly, "It's nothing. I'm helping my brother to get on the ring."
The round-faced girl asked softly, "Do you need help to get on the ring?
Can't you just jump up with light skills? "
Zhang Xiaohu looked at Zhang Xiaohua who had just stood on the ring and said, "My brother doesn't know light skills."
The round-faced girl said again, "Nonsense. You saw his posture when he just turned over and got on the ring. How can he not know light skills?
Besides, that night by the river, he … "
Her words were really ambiguous. Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help narrowing his eyes. Was this his brother's acquaintance?
At this time, Changge hurriedly interrupted the girl's words and said, "Chen Chen!"
The round-faced Chen Chen seemed to realize that she had let the cat out of the bag. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and cover her mouth with her hand. Her expression was strange. Changge then introduced, "Senior Brother, this is my Junior Sister. Her name is Chen Chen. She went out with Hall Master Qin last time."
"Oh." Zhang Xiaohu suddenly realized that this was also one of the companions who went south with Zhang Xiaohua.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaohu cupped his fists and said, "Junior Sister Chen Chen, I'm Zhang Xiaohu, Zhang Xiaohua's second brother."
Chen Chen hurriedly cupped her fists and said, "I'm Chen Chen. Greetings, Senior Brother."
Then, she asked in disbelief, "Zhang Xiaohua, do you really not know Qinggong?"
Zhang Xiaohu bitterly smiled and said, "Yes, he really doesn't know qinggong. Yesterday, he was thrown up on stage by Captain Chang using his internal strength."
As soon as Zhang Xiaohu finished speaking, he regretted it. Why was he so talkative? He should have just said that he did not know Qinggong. Why did he have to explain what happened yesterday?
Sure enough, when Chen Chen heard this, he immediately said, "Senior Brother, then why don't you use your internal strength to throw him up?"
What he was afraid of really happened.
Zhang Xiaohu was a little embarrassed and said with a red face, "Well, my internal strength is not good enough, so I can't throw him up."
Chen Chen was even more puzzled and said, "Senior Brother, you seem to be lying. You are older than us and have practiced internal strength longer than us. You can't be so weak that you can't even do this. I can do this."
Zhang Xiaohu was embarrassed and was about to explain when Changge beside him said, "Chen Chen, shut your mouth. No one will know that you are mute if you don't speak. If you ask again, I'll let you go back to Mingcui Hall now.
In the future, I won't take you out. "
Brine and tofu, everything has its vanquisher.
Chen Chen immediately shut her mouth and looked like an obedient child.
Zhang Xiaohu's eyes were full of tears. What a bosom friend! She came to his rescue at the right time. If she asked again, he did not know how to answer. The more he looked at Changge, the more he liked her. She was really a considerate girl.
Changge smiled at Zhang Xiaohu and said apologetically, "Senior Brother, Junior Sister Chen Chen is like this. She likes to get to the bottom of things. I hope you don't mind."
Zhang Xiaohu waved his hand repeatedly, indicating that he did not mind.
But then, Changge asked again, "Just now, Zhang Xiaohua's posture of stepping on your shoulder looked very skillful. I guess you must have been a human ladder for your younger brother a lot, right?"
When Zhang Xiaohu heard this, he chuckled and told Changge about how the two brothers went to the woods together to dig out bird eggs when they were young. Changge listened with curiosity and yearning in her eyes. Beside her, Chen Chen's little face was also red and she was eager to ask something.
It was pitiful to say that although the disciples of the Misty School, such as Changge, were all favored by God and enjoyed the wealth of the world and the excellent treatment, their lives were mainly about practicing martial arts. However, they had no chance to enjoy the interesting things of Zhang Xiaohua's childhood. How could Zhang Xiaohu's description not arouse the curiosity of Changge and Chen Chen?
Zhang Xiaohu was talking and suddenly stopped. He thought of something and quickly turned back. Sure enough, on the arena, Zhang Xiaohua had already fought with her opponent.
Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "Junior Sister Changge, let's not talk about other things first. After Xiaohua's competition, let's talk about it."
Changge also hurriedly said, "Okay, Senior Brother, let's watch Zhang Xiaohua's competition first."
Zhang Xiaohua nodded and then said, "Well, Junior Sister, you stay here and I'll go over there."
Changge was surprised and asked, "Why don't you stay together?"
Zhang Xiaohu said, "You stay here and I'll stay there. If Xiaohua is knocked off the arena, we can catch him. He doesn't know Qing Gong and I'm afraid that he will fall and break."
"Knocked off the arena?" Changge was very surprised and said, "How is that possible?
I've seen Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts. Even if he was lucky to meet her last time as he said, he should be able to defeat a child in plain clothes. "
"Impossible!" Zhang Xiaohu said firmly, "Yesterday, he said that he didn't win a single match.
He must be embarrassed to say that because he was knocked off the arena. "
Seeing that the other's point of view was too different from theirs, they didn't know who to listen to.
At this time, Chen Chen waved her hand aside, indicating that she had something to say.
Changge nodded angrily and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't be long-winded."
"Let's see Zhang Xiaohua's performance in the arena first and then decide what to do." Chen Chen finished her words in one breath and then closed her mouth tightly.
Zhang Xiaohu and Changge listened and nodded. They looked at each other and then looked at the arena.
On the arena, Zhang Xiaohua was fighting fiercely with his opponent, and it was ridiculous.
Yesterday, Zhang Xiaohua's opponent in the first round was Mu Tangchun. His internal strength was the best among the nine children. According to him, yesterday, he used all his internal strength in the last three punches without any reservation. But even so, he didn't gain any advantage against Zhang Xiaohua. Moreover, when he was talking with these friends last night, he repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Xiaohua's strength was not limited to this. He felt that Zhang Xiaohua still had at least 85% of his strength.
This news was also confirmed by the other two children who fought with Zhang Xiaohua. Every time they fought with Zhang Xiaohua, their arms would be numb and their wrists would be sore because of Zhang Xiaohua.
Therefore, today, when they fought with Zhang Xiaohua, they used 655% of their strength to fight with him. But as long as Zhang Xiaohua really used 655% of his strength to fight with them, they would immediately dodge.
Therefore, on the arena, it was funny again.
First of all, unlike Zhang Xiaohu's imagination, Zhang Xiaohua didn't have any strength to fight back.
On the arena, Zhang Xiaohua and his opponent exchanged punches and kicks, and the fight was very lively. Even when Zhang Xiaohua was angry and used all of his strength to fight with his opponent, his opponent would dodge and not take it head-on. Of course, it was also not what Changge imagined. Zhang Xiaohua was a wolf who could take advantage of everything. Although Zhang Xiaohua's strength was great and his fists were hard, his moves were limited and couldn't be compared to the Misty School's disciples. However, he also had his own way of defense. Whenever his opponent's moves were ingenious and he couldn't deal with it, Zhang Xiaohua would use Ethereal Steps to dodge and make his opponent miss all of his moves.
As a result, there was such a funny situation on the arena. Whenever his opponent forced Zhang Xiaohua into a dead end, his opponent would immediately use Lightness Skill to dodge easily. And whenever Zhang Xiaohua was forced into a dead end by his opponent's ingenious moves, he would immediately use Ethereal Steps to dodge easily.
As a result, when the time for an incense stick to burn was up, the two of them were still tied.
This was the first time Changge and Chen Chen had seen such a bizarre and hilarious situation. They were truly astonished. Their faces were full of wonder and their hearts were filled with questions. Although the young man's fist technique was experienced and his footwork was profound, there was no internal force surging between his moves. His moves were also repetitive. If they went forward with a sword, they would certainly take his life within a few moves. Was this young man the same Zhang Xiaohua who saved many lives in the dark of night and killed a martial arts master with a single move?
Zhang Xiaohu was even more incredulous. How was this possible?
How could he not know Zhang Xiaohua's level as his brother?
Last year, he was still recuperating in his room in the escort agency.
His finger bones were shattered by Yu Deyi's internal force. How could he be so powerful after not seeing him for a few days?
Although Zhang Xiaohu was not good at martial arts, he had learned with Yu Deyi in the martial arts training center in the escort agency. Naturally, he was aware of Yu Deyi's level. None of these children in the Misty School were worse than Yu Deyi. How could his brother, Zhang Xiaohua, be on par with them?
Was this young man still his younger brother who stood on his shoulder and dug out bird eggs when they were young?
When Zhang Xiaohua lightly jumped down from the arena and went to greet Changge, the three of them came back to their senses.
Changge looked at Zhang Xiaohua as if he had just woken up from a dream and quickly introduced Chen Chen.
Chen Chen had gone to the south with Zhang Xiaohua, so Zhang Xiaohua naturally remembered her. However, at that time, Chen Chen was a female disciple of Mingcui Hall and followed to protect Ou Yan. How could she meet Zhang Xiaohua, who was like a servant?
At this time, seeing her here, Zhang Xiaohua was also happy and quickly went forward to greet her.
Chen Chen's eyes were full of stars and her face was red. She shyly cupped her hands and saluted, but she also closed her mouth tightly and did not speak.
There was a reason for Chen Chen's reverence. Imagine that night, Chen Chen was also by Changge's side and stabbed the old man in black. Chen Chen's long sword also stabbed the old man's body, but it could not penetrate the old man's body. Instead, the old man grabbed the long sword and broke the tip of the sword. Zhang Xiaohua, when everyone was in despair, stepped forward and stabbed the old man's throat with one sword, saving Ou Yan and everyone else. Although it was dark and Chen Chen could not see it clearly, the fact was that it happened in front of her. How could such a heroic act not arouse the reverence of girls?
Changge saw this and said with a smile, "Chen Chen, you can speak now."
Hearing this, Chen Chen did not immediately chatter like a baby swallow as Changge expected. Instead, she closed her mouth and smiled without saying a word.
Zhang Xiaohu did not notice this. After seeing Zhang Xiaohua come over and salute Changge and Chen Chen, he pulled Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Xiaohua, when did you become so powerful? Isn't that the boxing skill you put together by yourself? Why don't others dare to fight with you?
And what's the footwork you used to dodge? "
Zhang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Second brother, don't you know what I am like?
Didn't we also learn from each other last night? But now I am very strong, while they are still young and lack internal force, so they dare not fight with me directly.
As for the footwork, you can ask Hero Wen about it later. "
Changge next to them was not happy and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you are not kind. It's just a footwork. Can't you tell us?"
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and whispered, "Master Ou doesn't allow me to tell you. You can figure it out by yourselves."
Hearing this, Changge and Chen Chen immediately stopped smiling and did not dare to ask more.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua quickly whispered, "Sister Changge, you can ask Hall Master Qin about this when you have a chance. She also knows it."
Changge and Chen Chen looked at each other and nodded.
Zhang Xiaohua then asked, "Sister Changge, why did you come so early today?
I thought you would come in the afternoon. "
Changge said with a smile, "This year, I'm going to take part in the competition of the seventh rank in plain clothes. The number of female disciples in Mingcui Hall is limited and there are not many competitions. Yesterday, I basically got the points to advance and won another round this morning. I'm sure I can advance, so I asked for leave from Hall Master. Hall Master Qin heard that I was going to watch your competition and readily agreed. You see, Chen Chen also pestered me and insisted on coming."
Chen Chen blushed and said, "I just want to see how powerful you are. It was dark last time, so I didn't see clearly."
Zhang Xiaohua was amused and asked, "Are you disappointed when you see me today?"
Chen Chen was straightforward and said, "Yes, it seems that you can't even defeat me, a fifth-rank commoner."
Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "It's true. It was a coincidence that day.
It's true! "
At this time, Zhang Xiaohu's face was a little abnormal. He thought a lot in his mind, "Changge looks younger than me, but now she is already at the seventh rank of commoner clothes. But I haven't practiced the mental cultivation method of internal strength. Even if I practice the first rank of commoner clothes, I am no match for her. Even now, it seems that even my brother can easily defeat me. I don't know when I can catch up with Changge and advance to the seventh rank of commoner clothes.
I think that when I reach the seventh rank of commoner clothes, Changge will have already advanced to brocade clothes. "
Changge saw Zhang Xiaohua and Chen Chen talking happily and couldn't help laughing. Then she noticed that Zhang Xiaohu lowered his head and didn't say anything. She felt strange and asked, "Senior brother, what are you thinking about?"
Zhang Xiaohu raised his head and said with a forced smile, "Nothing. I'm just thinking about when I can take part in the Martial Arts Exhibition and when I can advance to the seventh rank of commoner clothes. Junior sister apprentice Changge is so young, but her martial arts are much better than mine. I really don't know when I can catch up with you. My title of senior brother sounds really shameful."
Changge smiled and said, "People have different experiences. If you concentrate on practicing martial arts like us, you won't have the fun of childhood that you just talked about. Since you already have such fun and still want our martial arts, what else do we have to be proud of?
We have our differences and pride. This is the real life. "
Zhang Xiaohu understood and said, "Junior sister apprentice Changge said it so well. It's very philosophical."
Changge chuckled and said, "This is what our Hall Master Qin said. I just changed it a little.
Moreover, now that you've become Martial Uncle Wen's disciple, you should concentrate on practicing martial arts. You'll get something in the future if you work hard. "
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and said, "You're right. However, I always feel that my martial arts are not as good as yours. You call me senior brother, so I feel uneasy."
Changge thought for a moment and said, "You're right. In fact, you always call me junior sister apprentice Changge. It sounds cumbersome. How about we call each other by their names?"
Zhang Xiaohu clapped his hands and said, "That's good. I'll call you Changge. When my martial arts are as good as yours, it won't be too late to call you junior sister apprentice."
Changge smiled and said, "Since you said so, I'll wait for the day when your martial arts catch up with mine.
Zhang Xiaohu. "
Zhang Xiaohu nodded firmly and said, "There will be such a day. Changge, wait for it."
While the four of them were chatting below the stage, they did not forget about the competition on the stage. Changge and Chen Chen had come from the first rank of commoners, so they had a unique vision. They would judge every competition and they were very appreciative of these disciples. The male and female disciples of the Ethereal Sect were taught separately. The young female disciples were also taught in Mingcui Hall, not Kittyhawk Hall. Usually, Changge and the others rarely came to Kittyhawk Hall, but even so, Changge was very optimistic about this batch of disciples. He even thought that he did not have such strength at that time.
On the stage, the competition without Zhang Xiaohua was very exciting. The eight competitions had their own characteristics. Changge repeatedly sighed that the new generation was better than the old. She could not compete with them at that time.
Soon after noon, it was time for Zhang Xiaohua to go on the stage. This time, Changge was present, so there was no need for Zhang Xiaohu to be a human ladder. After discussing with Changge, just as Changge was about to throw Zhang Xiaohua onto the stage, Leader Chang came over. He stopped Changge's action and said to Zhang Xiaohua with a smile, "No. 705, you don't need to ask others to help you anymore. I'll ask someone to bring a ladder. You can go on the stage from the side. It's not good to be thrown here and there like this. If Steward Xu sees this, he will definitely blame you."
When Zhang Xiaohua heard this, she was overjoyed. How could she not use a ladder?
Who would like the feeling of being grabbed by the neck and thrown into the sky?
So, she hurriedly thanked Leader Chang and went on the stage from the side ladder.
PS: Many readers say that the traditional Wuxia flavor of this book is too strong. Brother Duan is secretly happy. This is a compliment to me. This is the first volume of this book, "Forget each other in Jianghu". If there is no traditional Wuxia flavor, how can it be called Jianghu?
I know that everyone is looking forward to it, but this book is nurtured. Let's nurture Zhang Xiaohua together to become what we expect. Isn't that good?
Whether it's good or not is not a problem. The problem is that we can nurture her together!
