Chapter 96 : Don't worry, I'm here

In the silent night, Xu Qing bit his pillow towel, and his clenched knuckles revealed his persistence. Veins bulged on his forehead, and pain carved a struggle on his face. Sweat flowed like a waterfall. He endured it and endured it. For ancient martial artists, connecting the Ren and Du meridians was like erecting a thin steel wire on a bottomless abyss. If they succeeded, they would be able to stand out from the rest, and if they failed, they might not be able to recover.

Xu Qing's ability to look inside gives him a unique advantage. He could clearly see the meridians in his body and understood the importance of controlling his inner strength. His inner strength came from the hundred years of hard work of ancient Heaven Realm warriors and was contained in the two Prajna relics. However, haste makes waste. Although his path of cultivation was too smooth, his castles in the air troubled him deeply. To him, the process of connecting the Ren and Du meridians was like cutting flesh with a blunt knife. No matter how strong his strength was, it was useless if it was not sharp enough.

When the morning light shone through the window, Xu Qing spent the night in pain. He looked at the part of the Ren meridian that was less than the length of his little finger. Compared to the great masters in the film and television, it was really far from it. However, he was not depressed because of this. His optimistic attitude made him believe that a small section every day could become a large section in ten days. He estimated that in two months at most, he would be able to cultivate the second level of the Zhengyang Technique and reach the Mystic Realm.

After showering and changing clothes, Xu Qing carried her schoolbag and ran downstairs. She changed from an ancient martial arts teenager to a senior high school student. In the dining room downstairs, Aunt Zeng had prepared a sumptuous breakfast for him: milk, eggs, noodles, and a large bowl of stir-fried meat. Qin Bing was already waiting at the dining table. Xu Qing smiled and greeted her before sitting down and enjoying the morning tranquility with her. Five eggs, and a bowl of noodles swept away, I wiped my mouth with satisfaction: "full, go to school." Uncles and sister-in-law have a tacit understanding, neither of them mentioned last night's matter, until I disappeared in their sight.

The morning sun shone on the street and I got on the bus. Coincidentally, I met an acquaintance in the car-monitor Zhu Dan.

"Hey, Xu Qing!" Zhu Dan's smile blossomed like spring flowers.

"Morning, Zhu Dan." I smiled back.

Zhu Dan was very pretty, and her narrow eyes carried a hint of natural charm. She was the focus of the class. Although I was a transfer student, my grades remained in the top three, attracting a lot of attention. Except for my deskmate Shen Mo, I am always indifferent to others.

Today, Zhu Dan was wearing a purple dress, pure and charming. She approached me, and we stood side by side.

I pulled on the plastic rings and chatted with Zhu Dan. She suddenly mentioned: "This afternoon, the class organized to go swimming in Zishan Reservoir. Are you going?"

I patted my head: "I almost forgot, I haven't swam for a long time, of course I have to go."

Zhu Dan smiled and said," It doesn't matter if the dog crawls. It's good as long as it floats."

I blinked: "sink down also fine, big deal learn old Huo."

Zhu Dan was amused by me, and our conversation was full of ease and joy. As the bus rocked, we chatted happily, as if the whole world had become lighter. On the bus, Zhu Dan asked curiously,"Who is Old Huo? Is he a good swimmer?" She imagined that the Old Huo Xu Qing mentioned might be a flying fish that could shuttle freely in the water.

Xu Qing smiled and patted his forehead to explain,"It's not a flying fish, it's Huo Yuanjia." He doesn't know how to swim. If he sinks to the bottom, he'll just have to carry a big rock and walk up." Xu Qing still remembers this plot, because it was the first Hong Kong and Taiwan TV series Huo Yuanjia introduced in 1980, which he watched in the commune when he was in his hometown in the countryside. A post-90s child like Zhu Dan could not have seen that kind of old film.

Zhu Dan laughed after hearing this, and the waves on her chest were like the waves of Honghu Lake. Xu Qing looked at her and pretended to sigh deeply: "The girls after 90 are now ruined by those Korean dramas without nutrition." I want to vomit when I hear them vomit!"

At this moment, the bus suddenly came to a sudden stop and the passengers leaned forward. Zhu Dan felt that someone was moving her schoolbag. She turned around and saw a man with a horse face picking something out of her schoolbag with tweezers. The passengers around turned a blind eye and even deliberately tilted their heads to one side.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Dan cried out and quickly pulled her schoolbag in front of her. The man angrily withdrew his tweezers and glared at Zhu Dan fiercely, saying,"What are you shouting about? I'll scratch your face." He even deliberately waved his tweezers, extremely arrogant.

Zhu Dan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She took two steps back and suddenly felt like she had bumped into a wide embrace. Xu Qing patted her shoulder and comforted her in a low voice." Don't be afraid. I'm here!"

This kind of thing has become commonplace on buses, but few people really dare to stand up. Most people chose to protect themselves, which also made those thieves more rampant. But this time, Xu Qing decided not to stand idly by. He took two steps forward and protected Zhu Dan behind him, preparing to face the next challenge. In a tense atmosphere, the man with a teasing face stared at the horse-faced man with tweezers and teased,"Hey, friend, can you show some real skills? Don't scare people with this gadget."

" Hmph!" The long-faced man's eyes turned cold as he said coldly," Don't underestimate this little thing. I can make you bleed with it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and stabbed the sharp tweezers into Xu Qing's abdomen.
