"Hmm? What's that smell?" Lin Qiye suddenly smelled a very fragrant aroma of roasted meat.
Following the aroma, everyone looked and saw that Gu Tianchen had set up all the barbecue grills he had bought in Anta County and started grilling various skewers.
The barbecue grill emitted purplish-red flames and a scorching heat, and the meat skewers sizzled and dripped with oil.
The sign next to it had four large characters written on it:
Zhurong Barbecue!
Lin Qiye and the others gathered around, and even Best, who was sunbathing on the warehouse roof, was attracted by the smell of barbecue and transformed into human form, running over all the way.
Gu Tianchen handed the grilled meat skewers to Jialan and Best.
"Ladies first, please don't fight or grab, everyone gets a share."
"Tianchen, I want to eat big gluten!" Baili Pangpang said, drooling.
"Give me a serving of rice cakes," Lin Qiye said with a smile.
"Lamb skewers, sprinkle with extra cumin!" Cao Yuan said excitedly.
"I'm eating vegetarian today, just give me some grilled enoki mushrooms," An Qingyu said.
Shen Qingzhu stood with her arms crossed and said coldly, "I don't eat beef."
……
The next morning.
Everyone got up earlier than yesterday, but Zhou Ping had already gotten up and even cleaned the warehouse inside and out.
Looking at Zhou Ping's deep dark circles, Lin Qiye asked curiously, "Sword Saint Senior, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"
While mopping the floor, Zhou Ping said, "I usually get up quite early to help prepare ingredients for my third uncle's local restaurant."
"You don't need to worry about me. Just read your novel this morning."
"Oh."
The group carried out small stools and sat in a row, each holding a novel.
Gu Tianchen changed the book in his hand from "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to "Ode to Gallantry," and decided to cultivate immortality like Brother Gou.
Zhou Ping, like everyone else, was engrossed in reading a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Before they knew it, it was noon, and the members of the fifth demolition team put down their books.
This time, they still couldn't gain any insights from the book and all shook their heads in frustration.
Baili Pangpang nudged Lin Qiye and gestured towards Zhou Ping with his mouth.
At this moment, Zhou Ping sat at the warehouse entrance, holding a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in his hands, tears streaming down his face.
Lin Qiye and the others turned and left to prepare lunch, without disturbing Zhou Ping.
After the meal was prepared, Lin Qiye walked up to Zhou Ping and whispered, "Sword Saint Senior, it's time to eat."
Zhou Ping then realized what was happening, silently put down the book in his hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He had only wiped half of it when Zhou Ping suddenly realized that he seemed to have cried while reading in front of so many people!
Lin Qiye asked in a low voice, "Senior Sword Saint, are you alright?"
"I have something to do, you guys eat first."
Swish!
Zhou Ping's figure flashed and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"Um... what's wrong with Senior Sword Saint? Isn't he eating?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.
Lin Qiye shrugged and said, "He said he had something to do and told us to eat first."
Five minutes later.
Gu Tianchen ran over, holding a black cat in his arms, and said, "Still eating?! The Sword Saint has run away!"
"what???"
Everyone was completely bewildered. What was going on?
They'd only ever heard of Disney princesses who ran away; this was a Great Xia swordsman who had run away?!
Chapter 211 You Can't Afford to Play?!
A man in a black shirt, wearing a baseball cap and a mask that completely covered his face, was dragging a tattered suitcase as he sneaked out the front door.
"Sword Saint? What is this...?"
An officer's voice came from behind.
Zhou Ping was taken aback at first, then his figure flashed and he instantly appeared several hundred meters away.
"Holy crap?! The Sword Saint is running away!!"
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and chase after the Sword Saint!" The officer was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
The soldiers behind him stood there awkwardly.
"Commander, are you out of your mind? That's the Sword Saint! Sending a few of us to capture the Sword Saint is no different from having the Nine-Headed Insect send Benboerba to kill Tang Sanzang and his disciples!"
The officer paused for a moment, then silently took out his military phone and called Ye Fan.
"Ah~"
"A vague dream seems to have occurred before, stirring up waves in my heart."
"Let's cast aside worldly affairs and sorrows, and stay together until the ends of the earth."
Zhou Ping hadn't run far when his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was Ye Fan calling.
Zhou Ping reluctantly answered the phone.
The sound of running water came from Ye Fan's side; it seemed she was still washing dishes.
"Zhou Ping, you promised that I would help you wash the dishes and you would help me train those kids. Why are you running away after only two days of teaching them?"
Zhou Ping said helplessly, "You know I'm most afraid of dealing with people. I don't think I'm suitable to be a teacher. You should find someone else."
Ye Fan sighed and said, "Hey, Zhou Ping, do you know why I asked you to teach those kids?"
"It's not just about improving their strength, but more importantly, about breaking free from the shackles of your mindset, taking that step, and breaking through the ceiling of humanity."
"Among us, Guan is still in seclusion, I am entangled in worldly affairs and cannot calm my mind, Master is good at defense but not offense, and Lu Wuwei's realm is too low..."
"Only you have the best chance of breaking through this level and reaching an unprecedented height for humanity. You are not only training them, but also training yourself."
"Zhou Ping, give them a chance, and give yourself a chance too. Let's try one more time, shall we?"
Zhou Ping stopped, gripped the suitcase handle tightly with one hand, and then let go.
"Okay, then I'll... try again."
Zhou Ping dragged his suitcase and silently returned to the military base. At the main gate, the Fifth Special Squad was standing in a row, looking at him curiously.
"Sword Saint Senior, have you forgotten something?" Baili Pangpang asked.
Zhou Ping shook his head.
“Senior Sword Saint, if you don’t want to stay here, I’ll fight my way out with you. We can go somewhere else, eat meat and drink wine to our hearts’ content. What do you say?” Gu Tianchen asked earnestly.
The officer standing nearby frowned. "Good lad, a rebellious soul at heart, not even bothering to hide his words from others?"
Gu Tianchen asked with a smile, "If the Sword Saint wants to leave, who among you can stop him?"
The officer fell silent.
Gu Tianchen just came over with the black cat to warn them that the Sword Saint was trying to escape, and ordered them to be fully armed and intercept him, but the Sword Saint still managed to get away.
If Gu Tianchen hadn't suggested calling Commander Ye, Sword Saint would probably have already returned to Xijin City.
Zhou Ping, dragging his suitcase, said, "I'm not planning on leaving. I'm getting ready for class."
On the training ground.
Zhou Ping distributed a thick stack of documents to everyone, which included each person's combat style and training plan.
It was all handwritten by Zhou Ping, and he marked it with different colored pens.
Gu Tianchen opened it and saw that his combat style was as follows:
Advantages: The halberd technique is superb, reaching a state of perfection. It can use its powerful strength to overwhelm the opponent and combine its various abilities to unleash unexpected and surprising moves.
Weakness: Taking an extreme approach can easily lead to impulsiveness and a relentless pursuit of overwhelming power, causing weaknesses in the original techniques, such as the sixth halberd strike...
After reading it, Gu Tianchen nodded repeatedly. The Sword Saint was indeed a Sword Saint. In just a few dozen rounds, he had seen through his moves and weaknesses.
He originally thought his halberd skills were invincible, and that even Lü Bu was nothing more than a traitor in front of him. He never expected that he would still be full of flaws in front of a true master...
After reviewing the combat styles, the next step is to discuss their respective training plans.
Gu Tianchen's training plan is to spar with Shen Qingzhu.
They both liked to use risky, unconventional methods to achieve unexpected results.
When two people fight, it's like looking in a mirror, seeing each other's weaknesses and making up for their own shortcomings.
Lin Qiye battles against Jialan, Baili Pangpang plays tic-tac-toe with Cao Yuan, and An Qingyu becomes stronger by frantically dissecting mysterious objects.
On the training field, Gu Tianchen carried the Fierce Dragon Halberd and chewed on bubble gum.
Shen Qingzhu smoked a cigarette, one hand resting on the hilt of the straight sword.
The two looked at each other with disdain, neither willing to give in to the other.
"puff!"
Gu Tianchen spat out a piece of bubble gum and slammed the Fierce Dragon Halberd hard into the ground, creating a gust of wind.
"Hey bro, you're no match for me. How about I give you a handicap?"
Shen Qingzhu stomped out his cigarette butt and said, "Stop pretending to be a big shot, I'll let you make the first move!"
Gu Tianchen's lips curled up slightly. "Alright, you said it yourself."
After saying that, Gu Tianchen reached out and took out the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, which emitted a deep blue light.
