Chapter 78 Zhou Di’s choice
Li Xintian shyly pulled his hand back, but Yi Xifeng held it too tightly and even after pulling it twice, he couldn't pull it out. He let the fair boy hold it, and just like that, the boy led the girl through the crowd and walked towards the restaurant.
At this time, there were not many diners in the restaurant, but more businessmen from all over the country who came to Yinren Village to attend the grand event. At this time, twos and threes gathered at the table, talking about some business.
Yi Xifeng came to the shopkeeper's counter, "Shopkeeper, is my pot of wine ready?"
The middle-aged shopkeeper with a long beard came up to him with a smile and said: "Your guest's wine has been boiled. I'm afraid it will get cold. It's still warming in the barrel. I'll go get it right away."
Warming bucket is a kind of utensil that is only found in relatively high-end restaurants. It consists of two large and small barrels, with an iron barrel on the outside and a wooden barrel on the inside. Water is injected between the two barrels and heated by the water. It is generally used to warm wine or keep dishes warm.
"Well, find us a better private room and send it up in a moment so that we can see the competition arena." Yi Xifeng ordered.
After that, Yi Xifeng led Li Xintian upstairs.
Just halfway through, what happened to be Zhong Lingxi who came down was Zhong Lingxi, who had already changed his clothes.
When I saw Zhong Lingxi again, she no longer looked like the one she wore in the competition ring. At this time, the girl was wearing a lake blue dress, a snow-white jacket on her upper body, and a pair of white deerskin boots, which looked like they were made of the finest snow antelope skin. The soles of the boots were embossed in red. It adds vitality to the girl. At this time, Zhong Lingxi was less heroic and more feminine than before on the stage.
After all, she is a sixteen-year-old girl. If she were a girl from an ordinary family, she would have found a matchmaker and arranged a marriage by now.
It's just that the Zhong family, after all, has a big business, so they don't force these two precious daughters to find a son-in-law early.
Zhong Lingxi looked at the little kid in front of her who was not taller than herself, and she couldn't help but feel angry. At this time, a person suddenly appeared behind her, it was her sister Zhong Nacong.
Speaking of which, Zhong Nacong also participated in the martial arts competition this year and was competing in the Maozhi group. But in the end he lost to the stronger Fifth Xiaoxiao. Zhong Nacong is twelve years old this year. He has just completed his martial arts training and has not yet undergone actual combat training with the village guards, but his strength is at the peak of the Qi Realm.
The little girl looked at her sister, then at the fair-skinned young man coming up the stairs, and shouted softly, "You brat, why are you here after you win? Do you want to humiliate others?"
Yi Xifeng saw the little girl pinching her waist and criticized her coquettish appearance. He felt that this little girl would be another eldest lady of the Zhong family when she grew up. He couldn't help but replied with a smile: "Who has no time to humiliate you? I'm here to collect debts!"
Only then did Zhong Lingxi remember that she had bet against this brat in the ring before and lost. Logically speaking, this restaurant already belonged to Yi Xifeng. Seeing that her sister was about to retort, Zhong Lingxi gently pulled her and said, "Well, that's right, I promised that if you win, this restaurant will lose to you."
At first, Yi Xifeng thought that the other party was trying to cheat, but he didn't expect that the other party agreed so readily. He couldn't help but praise: "Haha, it's so refreshing. As expected of the Zhong family, this great company keeps its word!"
Zhong Lingxi was very happy with these two words of praise, but suddenly she found that Yi Xifeng was holding the hand of a little girl at this moment. Zhong Nacong was talking to them just now, which happened to block her view, and only then could she see clearly.
For a moment, an unknown anger ignited in Zhong Lingxi's heart. He rolled his eyes and said unhurriedly: "Don't thank me in a hurry. Although I promised to give you the restaurant, I didn't say when. Send it off. Well, after all, you are already the owner of this restaurant. You can eat and drink here for free. As for other people waiting around." At this point, Zhong Lingxi glanced at Li Xintian and continued: "Then please do it yourself. Just pay for it. When the competition is over and I have time, we will hold a handover ceremony. From then on, you will be responsible for all the affairs of the restaurant. What do you think, Boss Yi?"
Yi Xifeng glared and protested: "Let's have a woolen handover ceremony! There are three floors in total. There are less than thirty people including the workers and the kitchen. What's there to hand over?"
Zhong Lingxi ignored the two of them and led Zhong Nacong down the stairs step by step.
Yi Xifeng watched the other party walk down the stairs proudly, stared at Zhong Lingxi's twisting waist, and cursed secretly: "Isn't the growth amazing? Wait for two more years, and I will show you how to grow!"
After that, Yi Xifeng led Li Xintian and continued upstairs. Li Xintian looked at everything in front of him and just pursed his lips and snickered without saying a word. When he saw that the two parties were separated, he couldn't help asking playfully, "So you like cows?"
"Bang!" Yi Xifeng stepped on the air and knelt on the ground with one knee...
Then he turned around with some embarrassment and asked, "Who did you hear the word cow from?"
"Brother Chengqian, he said that all men like cows!" Li Xintian blinked his playful eyes.
"Um...actually not every man likes it." Yi Xifeng replied awkwardly.
"Then do you like it?" Li Xintian asked.
Yi Xifeng suddenly felt a little stressed, and said with some embarrassment: "It's okay, don't be too conventional, just be unconventional."
Li Xintian was a little confused and asked: "What is unconventional?"
Yi Xifeng thought for a while and replied: "Human beings are greedy. Naturally, the more, the better, and the bigger, the better. But at the same time, people are also rational and pursue balance, that is, they pursue things that can be controlled... …Well, yes, you can control it!”
Li Xintian nodded as if understanding and said nothing more.
Yi Xifeng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them quickly walked into the private room they chose and continued to watch the rest of the martial arts competition.
…
The two people standing on the field at this time were Lin Lei and Zhou Di, the contestants of the fifth round of the martial arts competition.
Lin Lei stared at the opponent with a gloomy expression. From the previous confrontation, it could be concluded that Zhou Di was better than him in terms of skills, combat experience and prediction ability.
"He is indeed recognized as the number one capable man in the field. He has absolutely no flaws!" Lin Lei said solemnly, while his steps slowly moved towards the opponent's left wing.
Zhou Di had a warm smile on his face and said with a smile: "Where is it? Where is it? The knife you just struck was so powerful, I almost couldn't stop it!" While speaking, Zhou Di glanced at Lin Lei who was slowly moving to the left. I thought to myself: I just deliberately leaked a flaw on the left wing. This guy has very strong observation skills!
Lin Lei poured the Qing Lei Yuan Qi Jue into the blade of the blade, then withdrew his right hand and hid the straight blade behind his back. An electric arc composed of traces of green thunder energy jumped back and forth on the blade.
Similarly, Zhou Di was also holding a square halberd, with purple arcs jumping back and forth on the halberd.
Linley looked at the purple electric light on Zhou Di's halberd, his eyes even more fearful.
Linley collected a lot of information about the opponent before the competition.
Zhou Di has been practicing the five-element-level basic skill since he was a child - the Thunder-Inducing Technique. As we all know, the most basic of the Five Elements-level skills are: Flame Technique, Ice Technique, Rock Technique, Lightning Technique, and Wind Breath Technique. These five types of Yujin exercises correspond to the five elements of fire, water, earth, thunder, and wind, so they are also called the basic five elements. They are also the most widely circulated and longest-standing exercises in the world.
However, these five basic Five Elements methods are extremely difficult to practice. They either need to be burned in flames, or they need to be exposed to an icy lake in the cold winter. Therefore, even if today's martial arts people know these five five-element-level exercises, not many people actually practice them. Most of the family members who practice the five-element-level kung fu also practice their own inherited and improved five-element-level kung fu, such as Lin Lei's Qing Lei Yuan Qi Jue and Lin Fenghuo's Yan Yan Zhen Yuan Jue.
However, Zhou Di did not come from a noble family. It was rumored in the village that he had an adventure when he was young, which inspired him to improve the art of drawing thunder. As the grandson of the great elder Lin Dongyue, Lin Lei is extremely arrogant, but he is not stupid. He wasn't sure whether Zhou Di really had any great adventures, but he knew that he couldn't underestimate anyone who could transform the martial arts, even if that person was someone he looked down upon.
"Hey, what technique are you using?" Lin Lei asked.
Zhou Di chuckled and said: "The art of attracting thunder!"
"Hmph, I also practice the Five Elements Skills with the attribute of thunder. Do you think I don't know how to draw thunder?" Lin Lei asked angrily.
Zhou Di held the halberd in one hand and scratched his head with the other, "Oh, I gave it a name. But it's too vulgar, so I usually don't tell others."
Linley asked in confusion: "What?"
Zhou Di stopped laughing and said softly: "Five Thunder Zhengtian Jue!"
…
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed, and a hint of disdain appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Haha, what a big sigh, how old are you to be so crazy?"
"Do you think I'm crazy?" Zhou Di said innocently.
"Aren't you crazy? Can you be called Zhengtian?" Lin Lei narrowed his eyes and said.
Zhou Di laughed and said: "Young man, as someone who has been here, I have a message for you!"
"Speak!" Lin Lei said coldly.
"There are no young people who are not crazy. If they are not crazy, they will have no future. But you cannot remain crazy. If you continue to be crazy, you will definitely have no future!"
The two people's eyes met and they stopped talking.
Lin Lei took the lead and jumped up. He saw Qing Lei's vitality quickly spreading from his body, and a layer of cyan battle clothes composed of internal energy enveloped Lin Lei's body. It is Lin Lei's family secret skill - Qing Lei Battle Clothes.
Zhou Di straightened his halberd and faced Lin Lei directly. Lin Lei didn't dare to be too big, so he used his special skill of pressing the bottom of the box, Qing Lei Three Shadows Slash. I saw the cyan sword light gathering on Lin Lei's light cyan straight sword.
Zhou Di used the twig of the Square Heavenly Halberd to lightly knock the opponent's knife spine, causing the knife originally aimed at him to change its trajectory. Following this knock, wisps of purple electric light clung to Lin Lei's straight knife. The green thunder energy seemed to have encountered a natural nemesis and was entangled with the purple electric light. In the end, this purple electric light was outnumbered and annihilated in the dense cyan electric light.
Lin Lei quickly jumped out of the battle circle. He stared at Zhou Di not far away with vigilance. Seeing that the opponent was no longer pursuing him, he quickly glanced at the straight knife in his hand. He saw that the straight knife was originally filled with cyan blue thunder essence. At this time, It's hard to see any changes, but Lin Lei himself can feel that the Qing Lei vitality in this blade is slightly less than before.
Thinking of this, a trace of cold sweat oozed from Lin Lei's forehead.
At this moment, Zhou Di smiled slightly, put the Fang Tianji behind his back again, raised his left hand, signaled to Zhao Yunming and said: "I surrender!"
Zhao Yunming took a deep look at the other party, then nodded, indicating that the other party could leave.
Zhou Di nodded as a return gift to Zhao Yunming. Then he turned around and walked towards the audience. During the whole process, he did not look at Lin Lei again.
"What do you think this is?" Lin Lei was naturally proud, how could he bear such contempt. Moreover, the opponent clearly had an absolute advantage, but gave up the game.
Zhou Di did not look back and said calmly: "Master Lin Lei, you continue to take part in the competition, I wish you good results. Zhou has some important things to deal with, I apologize for not being able to accompany you!"
