Luo Yang and Zhu Li were both in the private room, which really took Zhang Xingkai by surprise. Just moments ago, as an outsider, he had witnessed Luo Yang's exceptional abilities. He had been scared out of his wits and found an opportunity to slip away. Now he had run into his nemesis yet again.
Upon seeing Luo Yang walk out, Zhang Xingkai became unsettled. This area was his turf, yet even here, he felt no confidence. After all, he had seen Luo Yang take on six opponents single-handedly; facing such a formidable adversary was certainly no good news.
The hotel manager thought it would be perfect if Luo Yang went out and explained himself personally to Zhang Xingkai. After all, if Zhang Xingkai got angry and hit someone, it would be Luo Yang.
"Devil, I've brought two pieces of news for you. The first is good news, I've decided to call a truce for today; the second is the bad news, if you dare ruin the atmosphere while I'm dining with friends, I'll take the fight to your doorstep! Listen well! Get lost immediately!"
Luo Yang waved his hand, signaling Zhang Xingkai and his people to leave.
When the hotel manager heard Luo Yang dare to speak to Zhang Xingkai in such a manner, he was terrified. In the town, no one had ever dared to treat Zhang Xingkai like this. Zhang Xingkai was, after all, a big fish in a small pond.
The hotel manager had thought that Zhang Xingkai would fly into a rage, but instead, Zhang Xingkai just glared at Luo Yang then left with his men.
In the underworld, whoever had the most powerful fists held the power to make decisions. Luo Yang knew this well. He did not need to say much to Zhang Xingkai; he just had to demonstrate his own strength.
Seeing Zhang Xingkai leave, the hotel manager's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he stood there dumbfounded.
"I'm warning you once, if you come and disturb my meal again, you should know what the consequences will be!" Luo Yang said sternly.
"I won't bother you again. I'll get busy, you guys chat." The hotel manager bowed and scraped, backing out of the private room and gently closed the door behind him.
Earlier, when Hong Zhong saw that it was Zhang Xingkai who had arrived, he was quite troubled. He wanted to treat Luo Yang to a meal in the most luxurious private room but also knew that Zhang Xingkai was not someone to provoke easily. It was only after seeing Luo Yang driving Zhang Xingkai away that he realized how extraordinary this young man was.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hong Zhong asked, "Brother Luo, may I ask who your master is?"
Luo Yang replied, "I don't have a master."
Hong Zhong had no choice but to believe him when he spoke so seriously and exclaimed, "Your martial arts skills are incredible, where did you learn them?"
Luo Yang couldn't reveal the secret of the Shennong Scripture and vaguely answered, "I figured it out on my own."
Hearing this, Hong Zhong thought to himself, "Remarkable! This young man is definitely a martial arts prodigy!"
Upon that reflection, he changed the topic and said, "Brother Luo, I'd like Jiaxin to become your disciple, what do you say?"
Everyone present was surprised; they hadn't expected Hong Zhong to make such a suggestion.
"Uncle Hong, this..." Luo Yang glanced at Hong Jiaxin, his x-ray ability scanning her full and firm chest, and he began to feel a physiological reaction stirring within him.
"Brother Luo, I will pay tuition," Hong Zhong hurriedly urged his daughter, "Jiaxin, come and pay your respects to your master."
Hong Jiaxin, Luo Yang's class monitor, had always felt superior in his presence. Suddenly being asked to take him as her master, she was utterly unprepared and hesitated embarrassingly.
"Uncle Hong, there's no need for formalities; I'll spar with her from time to time," Luo Yang said.
However, Hong Zhong was adamant about his daughter taking Luo Yang as her master; there was no room for negotiation. Left with no choice, Hong Jiaxin stood up to perform the kowtow ritual of becoming a disciple.
Just as Hong Jiaxin was about to kneel down, Luo Yang quickly stepped forward, holding her hands and helping her up. As he faced her snow-like chest at close range, he shuddered with excitement, and his gaze fell lower, feeling an even stronger thirst.
"There's no need for such formalities, taking her as my disciple is enough," Luo Yang declared.
Hong Jiaxin's lips pursed slightly, clearly unwilling to become a disciple, but she accepted Luo Yang as her master due to her father's insistence.
"Jiaxin, aren't you going to offer your master a cup of tea instead of wine?" Hong Zhong reminded.
Then, Hong Jiaxin picked up a teacup and offered a toast to Luo Yang. Luo Yang accepted it. The two now suddenly found themselves in a teacher-disciple relationship, both of them feeling a bit awkward and embarrassed.
If there hadn't been others present, Hong Jiaxin would have been much more composed. She was competitive by nature and disliked coming second to anyone. Now that she had taken Luo Yang as her master in front of her class teacher, Suyun, she naturally felt disgruntled, but it was not the time to make a scene.
Uncle Hong also noticed his daughter's thoughts; in front of everyone, he did not say much.
During the meal, Luo Yang asked about the Bearded Man's background. Uncle Hong was evasive, clearly having reservations or perhaps there were matters that should not be casually disclosed.
After finishing the meal, Uncle Hong insisted on paying the bill. He then wanted to take his daughter home, so he drove off first with Hong Jiaxin in a Volkswagen.
On the way home, Uncle Hong had an open heart-to-heart talk with his daughter about becoming a disciple.
"Do you feel it's a loss to apprentice under him?"
"It's enough to spar with him from time to time; being an apprentice won't teach you much, right?"
"You are mistaken. In my view, your classmate is no ordinary person. He may have a master he's unwilling to talk about, but one thing is certain: his level of martial arts is extremely high. I've watched his skills closely; although each move looks plain, they are in fact very sophisticated. From now on, you should earnestly seek his advice and learn good techniques as soon as possible."
"He has to be willing to teach me first."
"I can see that he treats you quite well. Since you are a girl, as long as you are willing to ask, I think he will agree. Tell me about his character..."
...
...
After seeing Hong Jiaxin off in the car, Suyun also had to leave. She had come on a motorcycle.
Thinking of how the homeroom teacher took such good care of students, Luo Yang was quite moved and offered to drive Suyun back to the school. Unfortunately, Zhu Li had come in a Lamborghini, which didn't have space for three people.
Therefore, Luo Yang borrowed Zhu Li's car to take Suyun back first, then return to pick up Zhu Li. A young man was asked to drive Suyun's motorcycle back to Dongfeng Middle School.
Suyun had never ridden in a Lamborghini sports car before. Initially, she declined for a while, but eventually got into the car. When she fastened her seat belt, her ample bust became prominent, which was quite an alluring sight for Luo Yang, who possessed X-Ray Ability.
So white...
Luo Yang smacked his lips, feeling his mind flooded with snowy peaks.
Once on the road, Suyun said with a smile, "Drive slowly, safety first."
Luo Yang said, "Teacher Su, when I earn big money, I'll buy you a small car."
Glancing at her, he saw her pretty face suddenly flush with color.
"That would be nice," Suyun said shyly.
Even now, Luo Yang could afford a small car, but he hadn't yet got his driver's license, so he couldn't drive it often. Moreover, he needed money for investments lately, so he had to wait a bit before buying a car.
After dropping Suyun off at the front gate of Dongfeng Middle School, Luo Yang went to pick up Zhu Li. On the way, he received a call from Hong Jiaxin. He thought she was going to privately back out of becoming his disciple, but she spoke about something else.
"Are you back yet, or are you still in town?" Hong Jiaxin asked.
"Class leader, what do you need me for in such a hurry?" Luo Yang replied with a smile.
"I want to invite you over to my house. Where exactly are you right now?" Hong Jiaxin pressed.
"I'll be back at the school gate soon," Luo Yang answered.
"Then I'll wait for you at the school gate. Call me when you get there," Hong Jiaxin instructed.
When Luo Yang and Zhu Li arrived at the front gate of Dongfeng Middle School in the car, they indeed saw Uncle Hong's Volkswagen parked there. So he bid farewell to Zhu Li and got into Uncle Hong's car.
