Chapter 10, New Techniques
Then, he pulled Wang Xuan away and brought him to the edge of the mountain, where they leaned on the railing and gazed at the distant lights on the land
She instinctively raised the glass of red wine in her hand, but she quickly calmed down again
He turned to leave and softly added: "Ling Wei's family is far more powerful and influential than you can imagine"
Yun Ge smiled and said, "I did not come here to cause trouble today. I just heard that there are some skilled practitioners of old techniques here, and I would like to engage in some sparring."
Zhou Kun was originally prepared to get drunk, but upon hearing this, he immediately became displeased and said: "Qin Cheng, is there any comparison like this?"
Wang Xuan truly did not expect that Zhao Qinghan would suddenly appear
Ling Qiming's aura was indeed too strong, to the point that Wang Xuan could hardly bear it later, receiving repeated warnings
Wang Xuan, come over here!" Zhou Kun called him over to drink.
"Just go over there, she hasn't left yet." Kong Yi advised him
This is a young man with short hair, a robust physique, standing at approximately 185 centimeters tall. His eyes are very bright and piercing.
Wang Xuan turned around and stood face to face with her
Qin Cheng, exhaling the scent of alcohol, said: "No, my intention was to have a private conversation with her, to share a drink, but she left, so who am I supposed to look for"
Not far away, Su Chan, Xu Wenbo, and others felt a slight twitch in their eyelids. Zhou Kun is actively seeking to leak information. Once he gets drunk, he becomes quite talkative, answering any questions without hesitation
Wang Xuan gazed at his face, seemingly lost in thought
He shook his head, exhaled a breath of stale air, and turned back. He was unwilling to dwell on what had already happened; one must always look forward.
Wang Xuan's expression suddenly changed; he was well aware that once Zhou Kun started drinking, he would let himself go, as if he had become a different person, and would talk incessantly.
These words rang in Wang Xuan's ears like thunder, instantly sobering him up, and his gaze became exceptionally sharp as he fixed his eyes on Kong Yi
Upon seeing Su Chan, Li Qingzhu, and others approaching, Yun Ge immediately smiled and said, "What are you all so nervous about? Am I really such an unreasonable person?"
During their first meeting, although Ling Qiming appeared very serious, he also had another side to him, with his face reflecting a father's concern and love for his daughter, fearing that she might choose the wrong person
Even the aloof Xu Wenbo could not hold back any longer, his lips twitching twice as he said: "Qin Cheng, is this how you measure things? Have I become a unit of measurement?"
Zhao Qinghan approached and said, "Yun Ge, I know why you are here, please don't do this, okay?"
At this moment, Qin Cheng spoke up: "Qing Han, don't misunderstand, Old Wang is a very reliable person; it was mainly my fault for speaking too hastily just now"
"Did I say something wrong?" Qin Cheng asked, aware that he was only making things worse by over-explaining.
Ling Wei's family intervened, intending to suppress you in the old land and prevent you from going to the new star
The originally composed Wang Xuan became unsettled, wanting to say, "Brother, do you know how to speak? Why are you interrupting again?"
In an instant, not to mention the classmates from the old school, even the peers from the new star were astonished; he actually... ? ... mastered a new technique ? !
The main issue is still Qin Cheng's frequent interruptions, which led to a sudden change in the tone of the conversation
Wang Xuan is already aware that Professor Lin has approached potential investors
As soon as he appeared, he walked directly towards this side
Zhao Qinghan, dressed in a white dress, fell into a moment of silence, even someone like her who is accustomed to such scenes and possesses high emotional intelligence. One can imagine how unusual the atmosphere was.
Kong Yi has always been strong-willed and never shows weakness. Turning around to meet his gaze, he said: "If you don't believe me, you can have someone investigate; there will always be traces left behind. Moreover, since I am aware of this matter, there must certainly be others who understand it as well"
The scene was quiet, and everyone remained still
Kong Yi also approached, his expression unfriendly, and said: "Can you not speak?"
Wang Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "You are not wrong. Look, I directly sent her away, and now everyone is not awkward."
The best way to handle such matters is to quickly put them behind us, with nothing left to explain. Therefore, Wang Xuan remained unperturbed just now, as if nothing had happened.
Wang Xuan has always been reluctant to judge others with malice, often putting himself in their shoes to think from their perspective. He believes this is a form of protection from a domineering father towards his daughter. Although it may be excessive, it can still be somewhat understood
Zhou Kun, you are quite bold, casually speaking out in public. Some matters are still in the confidentiality stage; is it appropriate for you to act this way
Zhou Kun did not care, saying: "Did I not mention when I came to find you that I wanted to have a good drink with you tonight and have a proper chat?"
Wang Xuan had come into contact with Ling Wei's father; to be precise, it was that middle-aged man who had actively sought him out and applied pressure on him
However, this young man at present has captured his interest, as he has already mastered the so-called new technique. He is very eager to see what kind of path it truly is
Zhao Qinghan has a tall and slender figure. Tonight, she is wearing a fitted white dress that falls just below the knee, undoubtedly showcasing her beautiful physique, with graceful curves and long legs
Su Chan curled her lips and said, "Let it be. The new technique is no longer a secret; it will surely spread to the old lands in due time"
Although Zhao Qinghan is usually composed and confident, frequently attending various events and having experienced grand occasions, she did indeed feel a bit stiff just now
Wang Xuan, are you not curious about the new techniques? Come, let us spar, I will demonstrate for you! Such words were unexpectedly spoken by someone known as Brother Yun.
Who are you, speaking so aggressively? Have you eaten gunpowder? Qin Cheng did not indulge him at all and directly questioned him
"I was just saying that casually, drinking, what do big men have to fuss about?" Qin Cheng said as he pulled Zhou Kun, "I enjoy drinking with you the most, come on, let's have a drink together!"
Zhou Kun cast a sidelong glance at him, realizing that Qin Cheng was definitely trying to get him drunk to extract secrets, while still unaware that he actually intended to "leak secrets" to Wang Xuan.
Is he doing it on purpose?" Li Qingzhu whispered
Zhao Qinghan remained silent as she raised her wine glass to lightly clink with Wang Xuan's, gently moistening her red lips before turning to leave, leaving behind an elegant silhouette
I tell you, a new technique has emerged on the side of the new star, also known as super technique, and some people hope to call it divine technique
The person in charge of the research project on ancient techniques has a favorable impression of you. Although your situation does not meet the selection criteria, your performance in ancient techniques has been somewhat remarkable, so they wish to make an exception and take you along.
Earlier, Qin Cheng had suspected that perhaps his ex-girlfriend's family was exerting influence to suppress him in his old territory, but at that time he shook his head, believing it was unlikely
The night breeze blew, lifting a strand of her smooth, black long hair. Her fair, oval face was beautiful, originally delicate and sweet, adorned with a smile, but now... her smile had frozen.
Why are you telling me this? Wang Xuan asked
A sudden voice was heard, and someone was approaching rapidly.
However, at that time, regardless of how strong Ling Qiming's aura was, he did not privately use his connections to target him, which left Wang Xuan with a relatively good impression of him
"You are late; pour yourself a drink as punishment," Wang Xuan said.
No one expected that he would be so composed, without a hint of hesitation, as he raised his wine glass and smiled in greeting to Zhao Qinghan in front of him
"Brother Yun, I am drunk, I will be more careful next time." Zhou Kun had sobered up, but he was not nervous, clearly recognizing this man
New techniques, also known as super techniques, are sometimes referred to as divine techniques by some individuals
At that time, Wang Xuan was scrutinized by the other party, and Ling Qiming questioned him in a very aggressive manner, yet he did not get angry
Wang Xuan was very calm; he had already noticed that this person arrived on a small airship, which was parked on a slightly smaller piece of open ground not far from two flying saucers
Putting oneself in another's shoes, if he had a daughter who had a boyfriend on another planet, Wang Xuan would feel somewhat worried and would rush over to take a look
Halfway through raising her glass, a smile reappeared on her face, radiant once again, yet she remained silent and did not clink glasses with Wang Xuan, wanting to observe his performance and see if he could provide any quick and astute responses
At this moment, Qin Cheng approached with a beaming face: "I just had a drink alone with the goddess. She said that she would come to see me on the moon when she has time. By the way, she also asked about you, Old Wang, about what level your old skills have reached. I told her it is approximately equivalent to 9.8 Kong Yi, 12.5 Zhou Kun, and 11.6 Xu Wenbo."
Kong Yi said in a deep voice: "I fear that you will receive fragmented information, knowing that someone is suppressing you, and in the end, you will wrongly blame me for it. I will not take the fall for this!"
"A simple exchange, do you dare to engage in a match? Old techniques against new techniques, do you have confidence?" asked the young man, referred to as Brother Yun, once again.
Wang Xuan quickly stopped Qin Cheng, fearing that he would truly get Zhou Kun drunk and incapacitated, saying: "Drink slowly"
Wang Xuan realized that this person was coming for him, as their gaze had repeatedly fallen upon him, constantly scanning and observing.
"This time someone is speaking on your behalf, wanting to take you to the new star." Kong Yi said this while resting his hands on the railing
Until now, he feels that he has idealized certain people and events too much
Watching his silhouette appear at the villa's lights, Wang Xuan remained standing in place, turning around to gaze once more at the brilliant city below the mountain
Zhou Kun immediately stopped him and said: "Brother Yun, this is a gathering among classmates. If you want to drink, go to the room"
The maple trees on the mountain are ablaze with red, the scenery is picturesque, and the city below is illuminated with brilliant lights; these elements create a backdrop akin to a painting, highlighting a serene beauty among the people present.
Indeed, there are hidden circumstances, and Kong Yi has something to discuss with him privately
Kong Yi, Xu Wenbo, and others immediately approached, blocking his path and advising him against such actions
The newcomer is a few years older than Zhou Kun, Xu Wenbo, and others. His wheat-colored skin has a sheen to it. He is very assertive, his words direct and unambiguous. Fixing his gaze on Wang Xuan and Qin Cheng, he said: "You really dare to engage in this kind of conversation? Trying to get Zhou Kun drunk to learn something from him?"
He waved to Wang Xuan and said, "Do you want to prove something? Let's see if the old techniques can still shine with new brilliance"
A very assertive man spoke to himself there, and then added: "The old techniques are nearly on the verge of being officially eliminated by the new stars; now some people have begun to refer to them as obsolete techniques."
Wang Xuan understood that Zhou Kun, taking advantage of his drunkenness, took the initiative to inform him of certain circumstances
Qin Cheng was surprised as Zhou Kun gradually began to let loose after drinking half a glass of wine
Now, this young man directly pointed out his name
In the past, if someone inexplicably challenged Wang Xuan to a duel, he would most likely ignore it and be too lazy to respond
However, he felt that Kong Yi should not only tell him these things, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him
Have I thought too highly of people? he murmured
