1220 Like a Thief
The next weekend.
The martial arts school finished their morning exercises early in the morning. However, the owner, Yang Jie, was not in the martial arts school these few days. Eldest Senior Brother, Yang Xiaowen, was in charge of all matters.
At the dining table in the dining room, everyone gathered for breakfast. The atmosphere was inexplicably funny.
Everyone was sitting in their seats with chopsticks in their hands, but no one was eating. Everyoneâs gaze landed on one focus, and that was Lin Yiâs hand.
Raising his chopsticks shakily, Lin Yi picked up a pickled vegetable with difficulty and shakily put it into his mouth. When his arm bent, he frowned in pain, as if he was wearing a prosthesis.
Lin Yi shivered, and his hand cramped. It hurt so much that he immediately gasped, and the pickled vegetable fell into the bowl in front of him.
Senior Sister Qi Wei couldnât help but frown and ask with concern, âJunior Brother, are you okay?â
âIâm fine!â Lin Yi quickly said and called out to everyone. âYou guys eat your food. Donât worry about me!â
The others looked at each other, but Jian Ai couldnât help but purse her lips and smile.
Everyone in the martial arts school knew that Si Yue forced Lin Yi and Gao Yang to undergo training with the goal of representing the martial arts school in the upcoming Chinese martial arts competition, but they did not expect him to torture the two of them to an extent.
Junior Brother Gao Yang applied for leave today and didnât come. Although Junior Brother Lin Yi came, he only seemed to be half-dead. When he did his morning exercises in the morning, he looked like he was on the verge of collapse. Now that they saw him, their hearts couldnât help but ache.
On the other hand, Si Yue was eating fried dough sticks calmly, as if this had nothing to do with him.
Li Mobai couldnât bear it and couldnât help but say, âSi Yue, isnât your strength too strong? I think Lin Yi and Gao Yang canât take it anymore!â
He was a martial artist and knew that one could not be eager for results. If their bodies overloaded for a long time, it would only backfire and they might hurt themselves.
When Si Yue heard this, he answered calmly, âSenior Brother Mobai, donât worry. I have my own way. Although the strength has increased, itâs still within their acceptable range.â
âItâs normal for muscles to ache after high-intensity exercises. Not to mention us martial artists, but even fit people often experience it. Itâs not a big deal.â
When the senior brothers heard Si Yueâs words, they nodded in agreement. Lin Yi looked a little embarrassed, but he didnât show any other serious symptoms. Just as Si Yue had said, it was just a muscle adaptation period. Usually, when one suddenly trained or suddenly strengthened their training, such a situation would happen the next day. It was indeed more common.
Even Lin Yi said, âEveryone, donât worry about me. Si Yueâs training method is very useful. Gao Yang and I have felt obvious changes in our bodies these days. We became like this now because we suddenly strengthened our training yesterday. When our bodies and muscles adapt, weâll be fine!â
âI wonder if itâs useful for you to sharpen your spears at the last minute when the competition starts,â Senior Brother Yu Yue said.
Ning Zexuan also pouted and said, âI also want to represent the martial arts school to take part in the competition. I donât know when the competition will be. Perhaps it will drag on until after the college entrance examination.â
Senior Brother Wu Shuo couldnât help but chuckle when he heard that. He said to Ning Zexuan, âYouâre dreaming. If they delay it until the end of the college entrance examination, then we can all go, right?â
âIn that case, Junior Brother Lin Yi and Junior Brother Gao Yang wonât have to suffer!â
Ning Zexuan pursed his lips. âIâm just guessing. Didnât they not release the news? What ifâŠâ
In the end, he lowered his voice. Ning Zexuan also knew that his guess might not be reliable.
âI think we shouldnât worry. Master definitely wonât let us go,â Qi Wei immediately said. âMy parents wonât agree either. Moreover, I might not even be able to come to the martial arts school after the New Year. I have to focus on revising.â
When the others heard this, they immediately sighed. It was obvious that they were facing the same situation. The college entrance examination was imminent, so they could only put aside martial arts.
Especially after entering university. It would be fine if they got into a university in Baiyun City like Senior Brother Mobai. However, if they had to go to a foreign country, they would probably have to bid farewell to everyone in the martial arts school.
Seeing this, Jian Ai couldnât help but soften her tone and mumble, âDonât think too much. With Senior Brother Mobai and Si Yue around, I think our Longxing Martial Arts School can hold our heads high in this competition.â
When everyone heard this, they nodded one after another. âYes, with Senior Brother Mobai around, we canât be so dejected!â
âThatâs right. Few people from the other martial arts schools have learned Chinese martial arts. They might not even be as good as us!â
âWe donât know foreign martial arts. Chinese martial arts is our Longxingâs home ground. We wonât lose!â
âSenior Brother Mobai, Junior Brother Si Yue, Junior Sister, all the best!â
Everyone spoke one after another. For a moment, their auras soared again.
After breakfast, everyone stayed in the martial arts school for a while before leaving together.
As soon as she went out, she realized that the door of Zhenhua Martial Arts School was open. It was obvious that it was already open. A few Zhenhua disciples were standing on the stone steps at the door, chatting.
To everyoneâs surprise, not only Zhenhua Martial Arts School, but most of the martial arts schools on this street seemed to have opened.
Jian Ai and the rest were a little surprised because it was not even nine in the morning. Usually, these martial arts schools would not open at this time because their foreign martial arts differed from Chinese martial arts. There was no need for such an early morning exercise.
âWhatâs going on?â Qi Wei muttered with a puzzled expression.
Ning Zexuan frowned and looked at the Zhenhua disciples gathered together. The other party was still wearing Taekwondo clothes in the cold. Their faces were red from the cold, but they did not react.
What kind of training tip was this?
The Zhenhua disciples, who usually provoked people from Longxing when they saw them, only looked and said nothing when they saw Jian Ai and the rest appear today. They even entered the martial arts school a few seconds later, as if they were deliberately avoiding them.
âStrange!â Wu Shuo couldnât help but say. Then, he sneered. âWhy do I feel like they are like thieves?â
âDonât worry about it. What they want to do is none of our business. Itâs fine as long as they donât provoke us,â Qi Wei said.
Everyone nodded when they heard that. Li Mobai said, âZhenhua has always wanted to find an opportunity to cause trouble and challenge the school. Now, they seem to be deliberately avoiding us. We donât have to worry.â
Ning Zexuan immediately sneered. âI think Junior Sister kicked him until he became obedient!â
Back then, the other party caused trouble, but Jian Ai kicked a disciple of Zhenhua into the hospital and he lay there for a week before being discharged.
