Chapter 45 Obstruction
Under the night, the silver moon is hidden in the clouds.
Zishi.
On the roof of Zhou Heng's house.
Pei Luoling was sitting here, looking at Zhou Heng expectantly, her big bright eyes widened, and she couldn't help but urge: "Then, what happened next?
"Is this genius named Xiao Yan really allowed to be bullied like this? Why has his cultivation regressed? Is someone trying to frame him?
"Oh, the story you told is much better than the storyteller!
"Hurry up, keep going, come on~"
Now she was like a nestling bird, waiting for Zhou Heng to feed her.
During the day, after Zhou Heng accepted the one hundred taels of silver notes, he took the little girl disguised as a man home.
And, on the way, I asked the little girl her name.
She calls herself "Luo Ling".
But in fact, Zhou Heng already knew her name was "Pei Luoling" through system prompts.
——This little girl will unconsciously use martial arts when walking. After Zhou Heng sees it, he will naturally gain system prompts and proficiency.
However, after taking Pei Luoling home, Zhou Heng did not tell him about Mr. Storyteller's follow-up.
Instead, offer to tell her other stories.
It's guaranteed to sound better than "the love-hate entanglement between Zhou Heng and the eldest lady of the Wang family".
Because that is really shameful.
Even if Zhou Heng had a waste of money mentality, he would still find it hard to talk about it.
At first Pei Luoling disagreed.
So Zhou Heng first told her the story of Princess White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Pei Luoling became excited after hearing this.
Immediately no longer look forward to the follow-up of Zhou Heng and Miss Wang.
And agreed with Zhou Heng to tell her other stories.
Zhou Heng had written online articles when he was on Earth in his previous life, and he knew very well what stories were the killer for such "newbies" who had never heard of stories.
Fight against the sky!
Sure enough, just as he expected, Pei Luoling was fascinated by just the opening chapter and couldn't stop.
Seeing her urging, Zhou Heng smiled, shook his head and said, "Miss Luo Ling, it's not that I don't want to talk anymore, it's because it's getting late and I have to go to the martial arts gym tomorrow, so I have to rest."
"Yes, but I'm really looking forward to what happens next..." Pei Luoling felt a little aggrieved, and then she had an idea and said, "Then, I'll give you another hundred taels of silver, and you can continue the conversation, okay?"
I go!
This little girl is so rich!
Zhou Heng was stunned, but he still shook his head and said, "No, I really want to sleep."
Tomorrow is the day when the owner of the Longxing Martial Arts Hall will commend him. There are still various things to deal with. It is best to rest early and maintain sufficient energy.
"Two hundred taels!" Pei Luoling directly increased the price.
"Let me think about it?" Zhou Heng was moved in his heart, but he still held it back.
I am a warrior of the new era who has perseverance, integrity, and pursuit.
How could you give up for two hundred taels of silver? ?
But two hundred taels...
This is enough to practice palm thunder twenty times!
"Three hundred taels, I want to hear the follow-up!" Pei Luoling took out three banknotes from his arms and placed them in front of Zhou Heng.
"..." Zhou Heng's heart was pounding, but after a fierce ideological struggle, he decided to shake his head and said: "Miss Luo Ling, I really have something important to do tomorrow. How about you come and listen to it tomorrow night?"
After saying this, he felt that his heart was bleeding.
Three hundred taels!
What can you do to make three hundred taels in one night?
There are too many rich people!
"Okay." Pei Luoling was a little disappointed.
However, she did not take the three silver notes back. Instead, she put them in Zhou Heng's hand and said, "Then you can accept these three hundred taels first. I will book a story for tomorrow night."
Then, she fell directly off the roof, jumped away, and disappeared into the night.
Zhou Heng held the three banknotes in his hand, slightly dazed, and said to himself: "Should I change my career to be a storyteller? Is Mr. Wenzhao so easy to get around in another world?"
"Hey, why is it a little cold??"
For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
It was as if the cold night wind was blowing in, but he looked around and found nothing unusual, so he jumped off the roof and went back to his room to rest.
Prepare to go to the martial arts gym early tomorrow.
…
The next morning.
Longxing Martial Arts School.
Lei Xiuyuan, the owner of the museum who rarely shows up on weekdays, patted Zhou Heng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, what a young man! Seventeen years old and ninth grade, he really has a bright future."
"Thank you, the museum owner." Zhou Heng said politely.
Lei Xiuyuan is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his fifties. He is tall and muscular, with strong muscles. He is at the peak of the eighth grade. He is estimated to be able to reach the seventh grade in two years.
His talent in martial arts is not bad. He entered the ninth level in his thirties and was already in the eighth level when he was in his forties. If he hadn't worked so hard for the martial arts school, he might have been in the seventh level now.
Now that the martial arts school has a young genius like Zhou Heng, he is naturally very happy.
As for Zhou Heng's specific situation, Lei Xiuyuan had heard it from Lin Cang before.
He was very satisfied.
If Zhou Heng can be selected into the Changxing Sect as an outer disciple, then the Longxing Martial Arts School will receive huge support from the Changxing Sect, and all aspects will quickly improve.
Even if Zhou Heng was not selected as an outer disciple of the Changxing Sect in the end, the "seventeen-year-old nine-level" gimmick can still be used as the golden sign of the Longxing Martial Arts School in the future.
With this golden sign, it will be easier to recruit high-quality apprentices, and the more money will be available, the more the martial arts gym will be able to expand its scale and slowly develop.
So, under the auspices of Lei Xiuyuan, in front of all the teachers and apprentices, Zhou Heng was assigned an independent practice room, as well as the right to learn eighth-level martial arts for free, and lunch and other benefits were also included.
After hearing this, all the apprentices were extremely envious, and even some of the teachers were very envious. After all, they needed to accumulate teaching results if they wanted to learn eighth-level martial arts.
But Zhou Heng can learn it directly.
There is really no comparison between people, let alone geniuses.
Finally, Lei Xiuyuan granted Zhou Heng the status of a new teacher with a monthly salary of ten taels of silver, completely getting rid of his status as a martial arts apprentice.
This monthly salary is a bit higher than the eight taels that a normal new teacher would earn.
However, no one objected.
As people from the same martial arts school, it is normal to have a good relationship with a genius like Zhou Heng.
…
After Lei Xiuyuan finished commending Zhou Heng, he called Lin Cang to go to the "Buwu Division" of Fucheng Yamen.
They came to help Zhou Heng apply for government support.
At the same time, I am also preparing to apply for some support for Longxing Martial Arts School.
——Da Qi is a martial arts country, and the state and local governments have supportive policies for martial arts schools and outstanding young warriors. You just need to meet certain conditions to apply to the Buwu Division.
However, the requirements are relatively high and there is only one quota per year, so it is not easy to apply.
In previous years, Longxing Martial Arts School was not even qualified to apply.
Of course, now that Zhou Heng has entered the ninth level at the age of seventeen, there is no doubt that Longxing Martial Arts School meets the requirements.
In accordance with the support policy of Huangtong Fucheng.
If this support can be applied for, Longxing Martial Arts School will receive an allocation of two thousand taels for the teaching and development of the martial arts school.
Zhou Heng himself will also receive a reward of two hundred taels of silver and the right to build a weapon worth three hundred taels.
The highest quality of weapons at the lower third-grade level is undoubtedly produced by the imperial court. The weapons forged are all well-made and much stronger than the weapons in the hands of ordinary Jianghu people.
You can also design your own weapon appearance and special functions.
This right to build weapons is actually a very good support.
Buvus Hall.
Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang have already submitted the required materials for the application.
Results are awaited at this time.
"Library owner, can we really apply for it?" Lin Cang asked in a low voice. This was the first time for him to apply for this support policy, and he was a little flustered.
"Don't worry." Lei Xiuyuan smiled and said, "Seventeen-year-old Ninth Grade, with Zhou Heng here, there is no way we can't apply. Old Lin, please stop thinking nonsense."
"Yes, with a genius like Zhou Heng here, we are sure of Buwu Si's support." Lin Cang said with a smile, feeling calmer.
"Yeah?"
A somewhat joking voice suddenly sounded.
I saw a thin young man walking out of the inner hall of Buwu Division. He glanced at Lin Cang and Lei Xiuyuan with a half-smile, and said with a smile: "Nothing is certain in this world. Don't think too much." ”
After saying this, he had already left the Buwusi Hall and walked away.
Lin Cang and Lei Xiuyuan's expressions immediately became gloomy.
"That person just now was Tao Feng, the ninth-level instructor of Changsheng Martial Arts School." Lin Cang frowned slightly and said solemnly: "What did he come to Buwu Division for? Changsheng Martial Arts School didn't do anything outstanding this year."
"There's something fishy." Lei Xiuyuan also frowned, but still comforted him: "There shouldn't be any problem. With Zhou Heng's achievements, Buwusi will definitely not get in our way."
At this moment, a green-robed official came out of the inner hall, holding an envelope in his hand. He handed it to Lei Xiuyuan and Lin Cang and then went back.
What should be placed here is the application review results.
"Look, just say there will be no problem." Lei Xiuyuan opened the envelope with a smile, but when he saw the content on it, the smile on his face suddenly froze and he became stunned and confused.
“This, how is this possible!?
