“The poor study and the rich practice martial arts. So it turns out that we were still the poor scholar. No matter how good a scholar is, he will still be a beggar. A student of martial arts could become rich overnight”
Zheng Yufen reached out and fiercely twisted Lu Hai’s arm. “Lower your voice, look at how useless you are.”
Lu Sheng did not think much of this money. After Xinshan Tang pharmaceutical business became official, he received tens of millions every month. Coupled with the monthly allowance from the Spiritual Master Association, Lu Sheng’s bank account had close to 100 million. And then there is this.
Xia Pingnan took out a large red booklet. On the cover of the booklet were the words Non-transferable Title Deed. [Note: Just papers for property. I’ve used an improvised and roughly translated name for the papers. Don’t quote me on this.]
“This is a residence of more than 400 square meters located in the center of Dongning Province. Although it is not as big as Student Lu’s house, the location is very good. There are also some professional martial arts equipment provided by the Dongning Province Martial Arts Association. It is very suitable for martial artists to cultivate and live in. If Student Lu Sheng has any intention of moving to Dongning Province, you can go there at any time.”
First the money, then a house. Lu Hai’s family did not know what to say. A house of more than 400 square meters in the center of Dongning Province. Damn, it was enough to buy a few villas like the one they were living in now. Did martial artists not value money at all? They really did not understand the world of martial artists.
“Then there is a little personal gift from me.” Xia Pingnan smiled and said to Lu Sheng, “Student Lu Sheng is now a Level 6 Martial Artist. When you enter a martial arts university, you will soon come into contact with martial arts weapons–”
Lu Qinghe, who was standing behind Lu Sheng, almost fainted when she heard Xia Pingnan’s words. She looked at Lu Sheng as if he was a monster.
Level 6 Martial Artist?! Her brother was already Level 6. If the provincial governor did not mention it, she would have thought that Lu Sheng was only Level 3 or Level 4. Because that was already the limit of Lu Qinghe’s imagination.
Beside her, Xiao Yuhe also had a complicated expression. As the president of the Baihe’s Martial Arts Association, he was only Level 6. In the blink of an eye, Lu Sheng, this martial arts seedling that he had personally discovered, had grown to match him. Oh no, it should be said that he had surpassed him.
The scene before his eyes was so familiar. But now, the person sitting opposite Lu Sheng was not him, Xiao Yuhe, but the provincial governor, Xia Pingnan. Lu Sheng was still that Lu Sheng. He shone brighter and brighter.
“–some of the credit missions in universities were quite dangerous. I almost forgot. Student Lu Sheng, have you decided on a university?” Xia Pingnan suddenly asked.
Lu Sheng nodded and said calmly, “Jingdu Sage Martial University.”
“I guessed that too.” As Xia Pingnan spoke, he asked his secretary to take out a stack of things from behind him.
Lu Qinghe’s eyes were sharp. She could tell at a glance that it was a university admission notice. The words “First Sage Martial University” were written on the notice. Oh no, there was also the Second, Third, and Fourth, and so on. From the First Sage Martial University to the Seventh Sage Martial University.
A total of seven admission notices!
Lu Qinghe’s fragile worldview was once again greatly impacted.
“The seven Sage Martial Universities asked me to inquire about your intentions on their behalf. My job as a provincial governor is also difficult,” Xia Pingnan smiled bitterly.
He handed the seven admission notices of the Sage Martial Universities to Lu Sheng.
“Out of consideration for you, I won’t say much. Student Lu, pick one yourself.” Lu Sheng looked at the seven admission notices of Sage Martial Universities placed quietly in front of him. Any one of them represented a Sage Martial Hall in the hearts of countless martial arts students in the entire Dragon Nation.
Now, the seven Sage Martial Halls were placed in front of him for him to choose.
Lu Sheng thought for a moment, randomly shuffled the seven admission notices, and then randomly picked one.
“The Seventh Sage Martial University.”
Lu Sheng looked at the admission notice in his hand, feeling both surprised and unsurprised.
Xia Pingnan and the others opposite him had strange expressions.
They originally thought that Lu Sheng would choose the most suitable or favorite after careful consideration. They never thought that his decision would be so unique.
“Most of the seven Sage Martial Universities were built on the legacy of the Martial Sages. Although the Seventh Sage Martial University’s foundation is a bit shallow, its teachers and other aspects are not inferior to the other six.”
Xia Pingnan said, “Since it’s a Sage Martial University, the credit missions that Student Lu Sheng will face in the future are bound to be more difficult. It’s even more necessary for you to have a good cold weapon.”
As he said that, Xia Pingnan took out his business card and handed it to Lu Sheng.
“When Student Lu Sheng has chosen a cold weapon for your major, call me at any time. I’ll personally pick a cold weapon below Level 6 for you. It’ll be a gift to congratulate Student Lu Sheng for ascending the dragon [Martial Dragon Champion].”
“Thank you, Provincial Governor Xia.” Lu Sheng accepted the business card.
Although Level 6 cold weapons were relatively weaker, even a weak weapon was extremely expensive.
However, rejecting the good intentions of a Provincial Governor who was also a Martial Arts Master was undoubtedly a very rude behaviour. Sure enough, seeing Lu Sheng accept the business card without hesitation, the smile on Xia Pingnan’s face turned even brighter.
“In the end, these are the only things left. Consider it as saving Student Lu Sheng some effort.”
Xia Pingnan finally took out some odds and ends.
For example, a Level 6 martial artist badge. It really saved Lu Sheng a trip to the Martial Arts Association.
“Alright, since I took the liberty to visit you today, I won’t disturb you any further.”
Xia Pingnan got up and said his goodbyes. He even said to Lu Hai, “Your wife’s cooking is not bad. Thank you for your hospitality.”
When Lu Hai heard this, he almost fainted. Zheng Yufen was so excited that her face glowed. How many people could receive the praise of the Provincial Governor?
Before he left, Xia Pingnan said apologetically, “Sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you today. It’s mainly because I heard that a true dragon has appeared in my Dongning Province. I was too excited and couldn’t control myself, so I hope you can understand.”
Lu Hai and Zheng Yufen quickly said, “Not at all, not at all.”
But after Xia Pingnan left, Lu Hai and the others finally knew what the problem Xia Pingnan mentioned was. Although Xia Pingnan had sent people to warn everyone in the community not to spread the news of Lu Sheng, the Martial Dragon Champion, before the college entrance examination results were released.
But they couldn’t stop people from wanting to meet Lu Sheng in private.
Since three o ’clock in the afternoon, the doorbell had not stopped ringing. All sorts of officials and dignitaries living in the same community came wave after wave to visit. At first, Lu Hai and the others entertained them with smiles. But later on, they were so tired that they simply closed the door and refused to see any guests.
“Dad, that woman is still standing outside.”
Lu Qinghe looked outside through the window, then turned her head and said to Lu Hai.
Lu Hai was helping Zheng Yufen prepare dinner. When he heard this, he immediately put down the half-washed vegetables and walked over.
