On a summer afternoon, the sun is blazing.
In the teaching building of Qingda University Martial Arts School, Gu Tianyang staggered into the first-year Class A classroom with a stack of red certificates.
"Good morning, classmates...burp!"
The students sitting below looked unsurprised.
"Teacher Gu, it's already afternoon."
"Drinking again..."
"Isn't this normal? If you don't drink, you won't be Gu Tianyang!"
"Look at his state. He drank at least 500 ml of alcohol with a concentration of 56, otherwise he wouldn't be like this."
"Hey, did he get the Demon Realm Powerhouse Certificate? Have we already passed it?"
Tang Qiaowei stretched her neck and looked over, with expectation on her face.
Lin Junyang also stared at the certificate and muttered: "It seems like five copies! We all passed!"
Shang Qiuyu adjusted his glasses and said in a calm tone: "The requirements for a first-level demon realm powerhouse are not high. Students in other classes can pass, not to mention we are still students in Class A."
Gu Tianyang laughed, patted the certificate, and said: "Xiao Yu is right, the assessment of the first-level demon realm powerhouse is not difficult for you. I ask you to become a third-level demon realm powerhouse before graduation. , Otherwise, you will not be allowed to graduate!"
Lin Junyang's eyes widened and he said in astonishment: "Teacher Gu, this is too difficult! If I remember correctly, you seem to be only at level three, right?"
"Yes, asking students to do something that I have to do reluctantly? Isn't it a bit too much?" Tang Qiaowei curled her lips and said dissatisfied.
Sun Ruotong hurriedly pulled the corner of Tang Qiaowei's clothes and whispered: "Qiaowei, if you talk like this, Teacher Gu will be angry."
"It's the truth!" Tang Qiaowei puffed up her cheeks, unconvinced.
Gu Tianyang's eyes widened, and he said with a big tongue: "The ancients said: The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead! Of course the students I train are better than me! I hope you will shoot me on the beach!"
He looked at Zhang Ze and asked: "Zhang Ze, what are you looking at? You have been looking down at your phone since I came in! Tell me, am I right?"
Zhang Ze raised his head with an excited look on his face.
"The new artificial kidney has been officially launched. My sister will no longer have to suffer!"
When we were together, Zhang Ze mentioned his sister Zhang Feng to everyone, so everyone was stunned at first, and then became happy.
"This is a good thing!" Gu Tianyang laughed loudly, patted the table and said, "I propose that everyone drink heavily tonight to celebrate Zhang Ze's sister's new life!"
"There's no need to drink." Zhang Ze said seriously: "Teacher Gu, I want to take a week's leave in advance to go back and take my sister for a kidney transplant."
"Okay, anyway, the school is about to have a holiday, I approve you to leave school early!" Gu Tianyang handed Zhang Ze the certificate of a first-level demon realm expert, and said: "With this certificate, you don't have to queue up to sell tickets, and Ticket price is half.”
Sun Ruotong "looked" at Zhang Ze and said sincerely: "Zhang Ze, I wish your sister's surgery a success."
"Thank you." Zhang Ze smiled and nodded.
Tang Qiaowei said: "Zhang Ze, which hospital do you want to take your sister to? I know several authoritative doctors in my family and can help you contact them."
Zhang Ze declined politely and said: "Thank you, we have been cooperating with a doctor. His medical skills are very good. There is no need to replace him."
"Okay, whatever you want." Tang Qiaowei shrugged.
Afterwards, everyone talked about how to relax and enjoy life during the summer vacation.
Zhang Ze was absent-minded, his thoughts had already flown back to Tianfeng City.
In one year of campus life, he has never gone back to see his sister, and he doesn't know if her sister is doing well.
Students admitted to the Qingdao Martial Arts School do not have to pay tuition, and the state also provides subsidies.
So Zhang Ze left almost all his savings to his sister and asked her to take care of herself.
But he was still worried. After all, the brother and sister had never been separated since they were young.
It was finally time for school to end, and Zhang Ze ran all the way back to his dormitory to pack his things.
As soon as he ran downstairs, Zhang Ze saw Liu Yueying standing downstairs waiting for him.
"I heard from Qiaowei that you want to take leave to take your sister for surgery?" Liu Yueying smoothed her black hair on her temples and said with a slight smile, "I'll give you a ride."
"Yeah." Zhang Ze looked at Liu Yueying. Over the past year, she had become more and more mature, both in figure and appearance, like an alluring peach.
Hmm...this doesn't seem to be the right description.
The two of them were walking on the campus path. Some classmates saw them and whispered to each other along the way.
The men are handsome and the women are beautiful, but they are all "gold brooches", which has a high rate of turning heads.
"It's vacation, what are your plans?"
Zhang Ze asked casually. He felt that the current atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, especially since Liu Yueying and him were so close that they could even touch each other when their hands moved.
"Well...I want to find someone, someone who is very important to me."
Liu Yueying pursed her lips and sighed: "However, I still can't find her. She has been missing for three years."
Zhang Ze nodded and said nothing.
Zhang Ze had a rough impression of the person Liu Yueying was looking for. Once, Tang Qiaowei let slip that Liu Yueying had a biological sister named Liu Yuecai, who suddenly disappeared when she was eighteen years old.
The Liu family mobilized all their efforts, but still could not find Liu Yuecai. The only clue was the note she left behind, saying that she wanted to pursue her true love.
It was obvious that he had been abducted.
The two walked to the school gate. Tang Qiaowei, Sun Ruotong and Lin Junyang were already waiting there. When they saw Zhang Ze and Liu Yueying walking out together, no one was too surprised.
Because Liu Yueying often came to see Zhang Ze and others under various names. In addition, she was Tang Qiaowei's sister. Over time, everyone became familiar with her.
"Shang Qiuyu said that he wouldn't come to see you off before he completed his research. He entrusted me to see you off." Lin Junyang scratched his head and said: "Actually, this guy was originally going to come, but he was pulled away by Teacher Gu Tianyang. …”
Zhang Ze smiled, Shang Qiuyu's heart and appearance are always two extremes, just like ice and fire.
Tang Qiaowei said with a smile: "Zhang Ze, I will go back to Tianfeng City to find you after my holiday. I have something else to ask you!"
Zhang Ze was confused: "What's going on?"
"It's about my father's innocence..." Tang Qiaowei waved her hand and said, "Forget it, wait until I get back!"
She still doesn't know that the Zhengwu style moves that Zhang Ze learned were actually learned from Liu Yueying's notes.
Sun Ruotong hesitated to speak, and finally just uttered two words when Zhang Ze was about to get in the car: "Treasure."
…
After leaving the Qingdao Martial Arts School, Zhang Ze took the intercity high-speed train to Tianfeng City and exchanged messages with his sister.
"Brother, are you in the car now?"
"When does the high-speed train arrive at Tianfeng City Station? I'll pick you up."
"Oh, time flies so slowly..."
Looking at the messages sent by his sister, Zhang Ze felt funny in his heart.
After casually sending a message to his sister telling her not to worry, Zhang Ze turned to look out the car window.
The new city under construction has begun to take shape, and high-rise buildings are rising from the ground, giving people a feeling that there is a lot of waste waiting to be revitalized.
This year, the monsters in the Demon Cave have been sleeping, and humans have turned from defense to counterattack.
Under a hundred meters of land, in the old mountains and dense forests, and in the blue waves and deep seas, the monsters in the Demon Cave were discovered, collected, and eliminated by humans.
As time goes by, the sense of crisis becomes weaker and weaker, and people's fear of monsters in the Demon Cave gradually dissipates.
It seems as if the unforgettable days of the past have become history, and the topics people talk about are no longer destruction and death, but the future and life.
Cultural and entertainment activities that have been dormant for many years have also begun to revive. Scholars call it the Renaissance of the new era.
However, some people are cautious in times of peace and believe that the crisis has not been resolved and the monsters from the Demon Cave will definitely come back.
However, their arguments did not have much impact, and some even ridiculed them as "old diehards", "conservatives" and "doomsday parties"...
Zhang Ze has always been awake. If the Demon Realm does not disappear, the monsters in the Demon Cave will not disappear.
They are just "server maintenance" like Demon Domain.
Unfortunately, many people don't think so.
Human beings have always been like this. The scars are healed and the pain is forgotten.
The high-speed train finally arrived in Tianfeng City. As soon as it came out, Zhang Ze saw Zhang Feng.
Tall and tall, with outstanding appearance, as graceful as a hibiscus.
"My sister has grown up." Zhang Ze sighed inwardly.
Once upon a time, Zhang Feng was a young girl wearing a blue school uniform, with shawl hair, and half a head shorter than him.
Now, she has become a big girl.
Zhang Feng was looking for Zhang Ze everywhere, and when he looked over, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother! Here! Here!"
she shouted, hopping on her feet, with joy and excitement in her voice.
Zhang Ze waved to her with a smile, then walked out of the ticket gate with his luggage.
"Brother, I miss you so much!"
Zhang Feng threw himself into his arms, holding Zhang Ze's arm and acting coquettishly.
"We have video calls every week, is that all?" Zhang Ze said with a smile, but why didn't he miss his sister in his heart?
Zhang Feng pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to see my brother through the screen! I want to see the real person!"
"Okay, the real person is back, you can see enough." Zhang Ze scratched Zhang Feng's little nose and said, "But let's go home first, I'm exhausted."
"Yeah!" Zhang Feng helped Zhang Ze carry his luggage, and the two walked out of the station talking and laughing.
At the entrance of the station, Wang Yang was leaning on his car and looking around. When he saw Zhang Ze and his sister coming out, he waved and then ran all the way over.
Seeing Wang Yang running panting and sweating on his cheeks, Zhang Ze smiled inwardly.
This guy hasn't been beaten enough by society, yet he's still so fat!
"Brother! Welcome back!" Wang Yang wiped away his sweat and gave Zhang Ze a bear hug.
Zhang Ze responded to him with a smile and asked, "How did you know that I was coming back today? My sister told you?"
Wang Yang shook his head and said, "No, it was Lu Panpan who told me... Oh, she works in my company now."
Zhang Ze was quite surprised: "Lu Panpan works in your company? What a coincidence?"
Zhang Feng was also surprised and said, "Panpan is working in your company, Brother Wang? She didn't tell me."
"Haha, she is working as my secretary now, um... that's normal!" Wang Yang emphasized, "She said you would be back today, so I hurried over. Fortunately, I was in time, haha."
With that said, he helped Zhang Ze move his luggage to the car.
"Thanks, brother."
Zhang Ze and his sister got into Wang Yang's car and drove to Zhang Ze's home.
I haven’t been back home for a year and almost nothing has changed.
Still clean, still organized.
The only difference is that there is a big red piece of good news on the wall. It was sent to Zhang Feng by the local government after Zhang Ze was admitted to the Qingdao Martial Arts School and entered Class A.
This is a kind of honor, an honor that most people long for but cannot get.
"Brother, what day do you think today is?" Suddenly, Zhang Feng put his hands behind his back and blinked at Zhang Ze and asked.
Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment. He thought about it and reacted immediately. He clapped his hands and said, "Today is July 2, your eighteenth birthday!"
"Haha, that's the right answer!" Zhang Feng felt happy. Her brother didn't forget her birthday, which made her feel so happy.
Wang Yang also showed a look of surprise and said: "What? Today is Xiao Feng's birthday, so Brother Wang, I must express it! Just in time, my brother is back today, a double happiness. Let's go! Go to Deyue Tower, I'll treat you!"
"Brother Wang, can you call Panpan?"
"No problem! Call her brother too!"
"Hehe, Brother Wang is so generous!"
…
At five o'clock in the evening, get to the Moon Tower.
Wang Yang specially booked a private room and asked the hotel to prepare a sumptuous meal and a big birthday cake.
Lu Panpan and Lu Kai also came. They were very excited to see Zhang Ze, especially Lu Kai, who held Zhang Ze's hand tightly and refused to let go.
It took a long time for Zhang Ze to expose Boss Li's crimes at the charity reception before reaching Lu Kai's ears.
He was very excited at the time and wanted to come to Zhang Ze to express his gratitude in person, but by that time Zhang Ze had already left Tianfeng City and reported to the Qingda University Martial Arts School.
Later, Lu Kai went to the cemetery and announced the good news to Lao Ba and Madman to comfort their spirits in heaven.
Now that he finally met Zhang Ze, one can imagine Lu Kai's excitement. He said repeatedly: "Brother, I really want to thank you! If it weren't for you, Lao Ba and the lunatic would have died in peace!"
Seeing that Lu Kai, a big and thick man, was about to shed tears, Zhang Ze hurriedly comforted him.
Lu Panpan stood aside. Looking at Zhang Ze's current appearance, she felt that the gap between herself and Zhang Ze was getting wider and wider.
She is just an ordinary person, and Zhang Ze is now a student of Qingda University's martial arts school and has a bright future.
"It's impossible for him and me." Lu Panpan felt bitter and could only sigh secretly.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they all took their seats, a birthday song was sung, and the banquet began.
After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
"Brother! Our company is preparing to hold a team-building activity recently and go to the Bohai Bay."
Wang Yang put down his wine glass, put his arm around Zhang Ze's shoulders and said, "You and Xiaofeng, as well as Panpan and Lu Kai, please go together. It's a trip at public expense!"
"Really? Brother Wang?" Zhang Feng suddenly became excited when she heard this. She had always wanted to go to the beach to see the sea.
Because of the raging monsters in the Demon Cave, she had never seen the sea since she was a child, and she was full of longing and yearning for the boundless blue sea.
