Lingzhang

Chapter 12 Unkind Invitation
The morning was a baptism of the mind. The impact of the momentum of a trapped dragon escaping from the abyss on Yue Hanzhang's character might have really changed his long-standing excessive pursuit of maturity and stability.

In short, at this moment, when Qin Linhui saw the change in Yue Hanzhang's personality, he laughed even more than when he saw Yue Hanzhang so absorbed in boxing.

He had seen too many geniuses fail on the road of cultivation due to various reasons.

But many times, a tenacious and high-spirited martial arts spirit can turn decay into magic at the critical moment!
He continued like this for a few breaths, until Qin Linhui laughed heartily and enjoyed himself, then he turned around and opened the door of the martial arts training room.
-
After a while.

In the spacious open space outside the door, Yue Hanzhang was holding a thick paper contract and reading it carefully line by line.

In front of Yue Hanzhang was the city-based head of Tengxia Pharmaceutical Company, a middle-aged man with a round face who looked honest and simple, named Zhu Yan.

Next to Yue Hanzhang was Qin Linhui, who was secretly making eyes at the head teacher of Class 3.

Next to them was the head teacher, who was watching everything quietly with a smile on his face. Of course, most of the time, the head teacher's eyes were on Yue Hanzhang and Wu Xian.

And further away, Wu Xian's parents were standing quietly, just like the blur shown on the black jade screen earlier.

On the one hand, he blended into the environment because of his slightly weak aura, and on the other hand, he looked at Yue Hanzhang with great vigilance.

As if he was afraid that he would start competing with Wu Xian for something.

Wu Xian looked at Yue Hanzhang with an even more intense gaze. No one knew who had said something to him, but at this moment he seemed to be looking at Yue Hanzhang as a competitor.

But from beginning to end, Yue Hanzhang said nothing. In the spacious open space in front of the door, everyone fell into a long silence. In the soft breeze, the only sound was the sound of a stack of paper contracts being turned over.

In fact, there was no need for Yue Hanzhang to read the contract so carefully, because it was still a standard targeted training contract.

It was exactly the same as the one Yue Hanzhang had seen before. Yue Hanzhang even suspected that the one signed by Wu Xian was just a change of name.

But Yue Hanzhang still read the last line of the contract carefully, then he re-opened the paper contract and handed it back to Zhu Yan neatly.

When Zhu Yan raised his hand to take the contract, Yue Hanzhang had already shaken his head.

"Boss Zhu, if I remember correctly, the contract is the same as the previous one, this won't do.

To put it wittily, before my body and soul merged into one, it was this contract, and after my body and soul merged into one, it was still this contract.

Then my breakthrough was in vain, right? "

In just three sentences, Yue Hanzhang revealed a lot of information. Qin Linhui already knew about it, and the head teacher showed some surprise on his face.

On the contrary, Wu Xian's expression changed instantly and looked a little ugly, and he even seemed to be a little resentful that he found out that he was not the first one to arrive.

Hearing this, Zhu Yan, as if not surprised at all, rolled up the paper contract in his hand and tapped it on his forehead several times.

"Blame me! Blame me! Classmate Yue, I neglected you and I really didn't prepare in advance. I came to our school just to sign a contract with classmate Wu Xian.

I was sitting and chatting in Director Liu's office at the time, when I suddenly heard Director Liu say that someone was registering at the martial arts hall in the academic affairs system.

I guessed it at that time, there must be another genius in our school!
But we were completely unprepared, and yet we couldn't ignore or neglect the genius. Even this contract was printed out in Director Liu's office.

But I didn't expect that Yue would turn bad times into good times.

So, is Yue's nightmare completely cured? Has he gone to the Dan Medical Bureau for another checkup? It would be best if there were no future problems. After all, it is related to the soul, which is very mysterious and needs to be handled with extreme caution!
If it really doesn't work... I'll arrange it? Our Tengxia also has shares in the Dan Medical Bureau.

Back to the contract, considering Yue's original cultivation progress and the subsequent benefits, such a contract is indeed not worthy of Yue.

Well, I will make the decision. All your treatment will be upgraded to a higher level, and you will be trained at the level of a prospective Taoist academy student. How about that?
Such contracts are all written on yellow talisman paper and distributed by Tengxia headquarters. Each one comes with a number!

As long as you agree, I will rush back and get the contract for you, how about that? "

All the changes in Zhu Yan's honest face seemed to be the true feelings of caring for Yue Hanzhang. Just listen to the words and listen to the tone.

When Yue Hanzhang heard these words, he could hear too many twists and turns behind them.

Mentioning Yue Hanzhang's previous nightmare seemed more like an attempt to lower the price for the contract negotiations.

After all, the soul is mysterious. Who can decide whether it is good or bad, and to what extent it is good?
In the end, he took a step back to advance and presented another "contract" to Yue Hanzhang.

During this process, Wu Xian's expression changed several times.

He was a talented martial arts practitioner who had not yet made his debut. On the first day when he seemed to be on the verge of fame, he realized that there are always people better than you and that the world is fickle.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, it might be difficult for him to fully summarize the changes and roots of this emotion.

But a sense of pure loss had already lingered in his mind.

At this moment, Yue Hanzhang did not have the time to care about Wu Xian's expression and emotional changes. He just stared straight at Zhu Yan's slightly honest expression, as if he wanted to see some shrewd and mercenary qualities from his thick face.

He wanted to use his previous words to evade the question, but he didn't expect that Zhu Yan had coated the surface of the "honey ball" with a layer of saccharin and kicked it back to Yue Hanzhang.

But this seemingly airtight rhetoric that seems to be making decisions for others may be useful for other students, but it is extremely difficult to work on Yue Hanzhang.

So, Yue Hanzhang asked calmly.

"Mr. Zhu, if I sign this contract and regret it later and want a better contract, can we still discuss changing it?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yan shook his head and waved his hands, "That won't work. It's not that I don't understand human nature—

The contract written on the yellow talisman paper must be burned on the spot after being signed, and the smoke will be used to communicate with the sea of ​​​​Tao, witnessed by the spirits of heaven and earth!

To change such a contract, one needs to have the power to contend with the entire Dao Sea and the spirits of heaven and earth!

But don't worry, classmate Yue. Contracts have a time limit. It's not like you're signed for life. When the contract expires, we can discuss the next contract..."

Before Zhu Yan finished speaking, Yue Hanzhang also shook his head and waved his hand.

“Then don’t bother Mr. Zhu to make another trip.

To be honest, I know what kind of student I am. The entire grade, or at least my classmates over the years, can testify that Yue Hanzhang has never been a crazy person.

I think I deserve a better contract, but empty words can't prove anything. If Mr. Zhu feels embarrassed, why not wait and see if I can get through the next important martial arts test and how I can get through it!

We can talk about other things then. After all, talented martial artists and the mentors who discovered them have always achieved mutual success. There is no room for any coercion here.

I have already rejected Mr. Zhu twice. If I reject him for the third time today, I am really afraid of offending Mr. Zhu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yan's expression froze, as if he had difficulty maintaining this honest character for a moment, and then he patted his forehead with the rolled-up contract.

With the action concealing his expression, Zhu Yan finally managed to force a smile.

"That's fine. This is a major life event. There's no need to rush. Let's take our time. There's no point in offending anyone..."

As he was speaking, Zhu Yan tilted his head, as if he had just noticed Wu Xian, whose face was also making frequent expressions, and it was as if he had just realized the child's emotional changes.

"However, Mr. Yue, I have an unwelcome request..."
