Chapter 27: Dark Clouds

The moment that cold voice fell, the gloomy old man with inverted triangle eyes shuddered subconsciously before he could respond.

It was as if the coldness had penetrated deep into the bone marrow, and it was also as if it originated from the fear in the mind.

For a moment, he bent his upper body lower, held the black jade screen in both hands, and handed it behind the screen.

For a long time, no one behind the screen spoke again.

So, in the silence, the old man just stood there with his body bent, motionless.

After a long time, the person behind the screen seemed to have read all the news.

The cold voice sounded again: "So, the news from the Patrol Wind Division is true, and the child actually survived?"

The old man seemed to want to stand up, but in the end he just raised his head and said respectfully, "Based on the time period when the incident occurred and his subsequent contact with Tengxia Pharmaceutical Company, it should be true."

It was as if the snow on the snow-capped mountains had melted into a gurgling stream.

Then, that cold voice suddenly brought out some emotional waves.

"This... is really a miracle, how did he do it?"

Hearing this, the old man just bent deeper.

"This old slave... this old slave doesn't know."

"I don't know?" The person behind the screen seemed a little surprised, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued to ask, "So what did he do after signing the contract?"

"I bought ten low-grade Qi and Blood Pills produced by Tengxia, and also bought the latest model of Black Feather Series Mysterious Ink Jade produced by Yulong Company. Other than that, I stayed in the school's martial arts studio all day and didn't come out."

"Hmm." The woman's voice was drawn out, as if she was expressing approval in this way. "He is a patient person. No wonder he can build such a good physical foundation among ordinary people. So, it is true that he can strike three times in a row on the second day of entering the spirit realm?"

Having said this, the old man finally relaxed a little.

"Yes, this was witnessed by many people from Tengxia Company."

After the words fell, there was silence for a long time, as if the woman behind the screen was thinking about something.

After a long time, when she spoke again, her voice no longer contained any emotion, but became even more profound in its coldness.

"Zhu Yan is so patient. The Zhu family has been passed down for so many years. In this generation, all the cunning people have come from the branches. The main family relies on a genius descendant to hold the last bit of confidence.

The Tengxia Zhu family is not worthy of recruiting top talents!

You go to the county government and find a way to tell the seventh son of the Zhu family about Zhu Yan. I heard about his crazy deeds when I was in the provincial government.

Let him light a fire and refine the gold for me."

Hearing this, as if he had expected such words, the old man who had been bowing for a long time suddenly stood up, and when he took a step forward, he was already standing at the edge of the screen.

"Madam, he is in Class 7, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? If the Zhu family's mad dog wants to bite someone, what does it have to do with others? Unless... you didn't do things carefully!"

The old man took several steps back and said, "I will definitely get the job done!"

"That's it--

Go do your work, and by the way, call that stubborn girl in."
-
In a place where the wind has not yet blown.

In the classroom of Class 7 of Grade 3, Yue Hanzhang was standing under everyone's attention, stepping on the Nine Palaces and swinging out several palms in succession.

The sound of the palm wind breaking through the air was like thunder, affecting the minds of many students in the classroom.

To be honest, compared to his current situation, Yue Hanzhang would rather hide in the martial arts studio and practice martial arts alone.

But he was powerless. Firstly, he had already signed a contract with someone, and secondly, Qin Linhui repeatedly emphasized that Yue Hanzhang, the "motivational prop", must be moved into the classroom. Fortunately, Yue Hanzhang quickly accepted this arrangement very smoothly.

Firstly, after mastering the auxiliary method of visualizing the shocking moment, Yue Hanzhang's blood and qi became warmed up, and all meridians were connected. As a result, the progress of Yue Hanzhang's cultivation has become incredibly fast, but at the same time, the supply of energy meals in the school seems a little thin.

After all, the standard of energy meals required by the Taoist Alliance's rules is based on more ordinary martial arts students, not people with extraordinary progress like Yue Hanzhang.

Even though he had just bought some Qi and blood elixir, Yue Hanzhang didn't want to waste it on ordinary cultivation.

He then regarded this kind of time as a part of his life with a balance between relaxation and tension.

Secondly, after several days in a trance, the golden light caused by Yue Hanzhang's accumulated "momentum" has gradually become increasingly scarce.

Yue Hanzhang also realized that the existence of such mysterious concepts as fame and reputation also needs to be maintained at all times.

Just like in the previous life, no matter how eye-catching a hot event is, it can only be a hot topic on the Internet for one or two days, or even three or four days.

The heat of an event will gradually cool down over time.

Ever since Zhu Yan told him how he would promote and sell the skills that Yue Hanzhang sold.

With the breaking of a certain filter, Yue Hanzhang began to no longer view his two lives as separate.

He gradually began to look at the problems of this life from the perspective of his past life.

He plans to work harder to build his reputation.

At the very least, he had to keep the "hot topic" of himself being a martial arts genius at a certain level of popularity within the class-centered field.

Now, as Yue Hanzhang demonstrated the unity of form and spirit of the boxing stance in public, he also took the initiative to explain some of his mental journey.

And after that, Yue Hanzhang walked in the classroom as the whole class started boxing together.

When he found that his gaze was focused on a certain person, it would actually cause the mechanical brain of the quiet world to emit a low, roaring sound of music.

That was the mechanical brain analyzing another person's martial arts through Yue Hanzhang's perspective.

Perhaps because the opponent had not yet gotten started, the loss of this analysis was very low, like the single-threaded version 1.0 of the mechanical mind, but as the light gradually dissipated, Yue Hanzhang was able to see the subtle discord in the man's boxing stance in an instant.

After all, if you have fully mastered the boxing stance, those are not mistakes, they just have better effects after adjustments.

So occasionally, Yue Hanzhang would take the initiative to speak and point out the most obvious disharmony concentrated in the first few palms.

The more obvious the disharmony is, the more obvious the student who is making the adjustment will feel after Yue Hanzhang points it out.

And from beginning to end, Qin Linhui was there to give comments, praising Yue Hanzhang's profound skills in these palms, and at the same time using the adjustments to explain the various techniques of power behind the boxing, imparting experience and re-elaborating on the theory.

It was also during this process that Yue Hanzhang clearly felt that the golden light, which was originally on a downward trend, was once again gathering in a gradually rising trend because of Yue Hanzhang's management of his reputation and "momentum".

And in this process, the invisible gap that originally existed between Yue Hanzhang and the rest of the students in the class was completely broken and disappeared in the process of establishing this "momentum".

During the few days of tutoring in class, Yue Hanzhang has heard more and more classmates coming up to him and calling him "Brother Yue".

It has to be said that everything that happened in both the real and virtual worlds were changes that made Yue Hanzhang happy.

All of this was faithfully recorded by the video equipment placed in the four corners of the classroom.

Another martial arts class ended and it was almost noon. After Yue Hanzhang waved his hand and said hello to a few classmates he had become familiar with, he prepared to go straight to the martial arts hall.

It was lunchtime and Yue Hanzhang was already feeling a little hungry.

At this moment, Qin Linhui, who also walked out of the classroom, called Yue Hanzhang.

"Xiao Yue, I just received news from the Patrol Wind Division that they have resolved the issue in the suburbs."
