Under One Person: I can manipulate magnetic fields!

"Speaking of which, the third round of admissions for the Whampoa Military Academy is about to begin."

Chen Yuan said.

That bastard Jiang Guangtou is definitely trying to win over these trainees; after all, he's very ambitious.

Now that Mr. Sun is seriously ill, this guy will definitely cultivate his own power base.

"With the experience from the first two batches, the quality of this batch might be even higher."

Jiang Wushan said calmly.

At first, it was like blind men touching an elephant, but things are different now.

"rational."

Chen Yuan nodded.

They started as a makeshift team, but they became increasingly impressive over time.

However, even though it was a makeshift operation, the people who could come to Huangpu were no ordinary people.

Chapter 648 Divine Refinement of Hundreds of Techniques: Binding Spirits and Commanding Generals! (Two Chapters Combined)

Time flies, and a few days later, at the Chen residence.

"Blind dates are such a hassle."

Chen Yuan gave a bitter smile and knelt inside the family ancestral hall.

Since returning home, he has been forced to go on blind dates by his father.

These matchmaking stories from the Republican era were indeed more bizarre and vivid than the matchmaking stories he had seen on short video platforms before his time travel.

First, the birth dates and times must be matched.

The man asked a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's family. They exchanged birth charts and consulted a fortune teller to match their horoscopes. If the horoscopes clashed, the marriage was immediately void.

If the birth dates and times are compatible, the man will give a small engagement gift (pastries, fabric, silver coins) to establish a preliminary agreement before arranging a "meeting" (blind date).

The rules are very strict: unmarried men and women cannot meet in person on their first blind date.

When a man is considering a woman's future, he might use excuses such as visiting relatives, going to temple fairs, paying New Year's visits, or being led by a matchmaker to secretly observe the girl's appearance, figure, and behavior from afar. In wealthy families, maids would serve tea and water, taking the opportunity to observe her.

When a woman is choosing a man, her mother and aunts secretly observe his character, speech, and height, while the woman herself stays indoors and never shows herself.

Both sides observed from a distance and did not speak at all.

Then comes the formal "meeting and matchmaking." For someone with considerable wealth like him, a dinner party would be held, with the man and woman sitting at two separate tables, separated by a screen and curtain, so they could only vaguely see each other. Throughout the meeting, the parents and matchmaker would speak, while the newlyweds would keep their heads down and remain silent, at most stealing a few glances, without engaging in conversation.

Finally, there's the decision-making power after the blind date.

After returning home, parents and elders will judge the appearance, family background, and character. The opinions of the man and woman themselves are only for reference, and their objections are basically invalid.

If satisfied, they would place a formal betrothal and exchange marriage certificates; if not, they would ask a matchmaker to refuse, so that neither party would owe the other anything.

Of course, he was different; he naturally opposed it outright.

His father was so angry that he made him kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment.

"If you weren't my father in this life, I would have run away immediately."

Chen Yuan muttered to himself.

At this moment, inside the Chen residence.

“Master, please don’t be angry. Young Master has been to school, so it’s normal that he’s averse to the old-fashioned matchmaking culture. Why not try the new style? I’ve heard that modern civilized matchmaking is very popular recently, especially in places like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Nanjing.”

Butler Pei spoke eloquently.

He traveled all over the country with Boss Chen and has gained a lot of experience.

My own children were the same way back then.

"Really? Old Pei, tell me what this new-style civilized matchmaking is all about?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen's eyes lit up.

Their Chen family line cannot end.

"Young people nowadays advocate for independent marriage, and blind dates are for the purpose of mutual understanding between men and women, with parents only providing suggestions. Generally, there are three forms:"

For example, arranged marriages are made through introductions by relatives or friends, with classmates, colleagues, or relatives acting as matchmakers. Both parties agree in advance to meet in a public place.

Where to go? Naturally, in parks, teahouses, Western restaurants, cinemas, bookstores, and school campuses.

The two people, either alone or accompanied by an introducer, drink tea and chat freely, discussing their studies, work, hobbies, and ideals.

Multiple dates are allowed; if you're not satisfied, you can simply refuse, without worrying about family reputation, and there are no binding obligations related to birth dates or dowry.

Butler Pei said with a smile.

"Is that so? That's good, I can give it a try. I need to ask someone about it."

Mr. Chen's eyes lit up.

"No way?"

Chen Yuan was also secretly listening to his father and Butler Pei's conversation through his Yang Shen technique. Upon hearing this, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

He absolutely detests blind dates.

It seems he has to run first.

"do not care."

Chen Yuan's primordial spirit quickly returned to his body, and then he used the Golden Escape Flowing Light to leave the Chen Mansion directly.

Mr. Chen was unaware that his son had run away.

On the other side, in a small grove of trees.

"Hehe, kid, you'd better not run away. Didn't I teach you Liu Hou Qimen? Can't you pass on your Feng Hou Qimen to me?"

Old Monster Leng looked at Zhou Sheng in front of him and said calmly.

He's been pretty good to this kid. He just wanted to observe the Feng Hou Qi Men technique. Why is this kid so stingy?

"Senior, it's not that I'm unwilling, but this method is somewhat dangerous."

Zhou Sheng gave a dry laugh.

After he practiced Feng Hou Qi Men, he also discovered the problems within it.

This method is too bizarre.

"I'm not greedy, I don't ask you to pass on your complete skills, I just want to borrow your techniques for a few days to observe them. It's just a mere set of Qimen formations, and your evasiveness is too petty. Back then, I guided you to master the foundation of Qimen, have you forgotten that favor?"

Old Monster Leng sneered.

He's a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan, so if this kid doesn't agree, he'll have no choice but to force him, and he won't feel guilty about it.

"I have never forgotten your advice back then. However, Feng Hou Qi Men is vastly different from ordinary Liu Hou Qi Men, and it is by no means as simple as just setting up and deducing the formation."

This technique can alter the seasons and reverse spatial orientation. Those who forcibly observe or practice it are easily swept away by the chaotic spacetime within its confines. At best, they will go mad and lose their minds; at worst, their souls will be eternally trapped in the illusionary realm of Qimen Dunjia, never to escape.

As Zhou Sheng spoke, he secretly formed a magic seal, preparing to escape.

If he can't beat them, can't he at least avoid them?

He doesn't believe it anymore.

"Is that some kind of alarmist claim? It's just a spell; how could it possibly take a person's life?"

Old Cold Monster sneered.

Does this kid really think he's an idiot?

If this kid can train, why can't he?

His talent was not low at all. He was originally the leader of the Shuzi Sect. If it weren't for that despicable senior brother framing him, he wouldn't be in this situation.

"I am not exaggerating."

Zhou Sheng forced a smile, but his movements behind the scenes became increasingly faster.

He didn't want this old man to get entangled with him.

Moreover, the power of Feng Hou Qi Men is too great; if it were given to this old monster, it could very likely cause serious problems.

"Hehe, Uncle-Master Leng, why make things difficult for a junior? Daoist Zhou Sheng, why not pass on the Feng Hou Qi Men technique to me? Our Shu Zi Sect needs this skill..."

Master Hutu appeared here at some point, staring intently at Zhou Sheng.

At this moment, the situation was extremely tense. If Chen Yuan were here, he would probably be surprised by what he was seeing.

"Oh? The bald monks of the Shuzi Sect are also here to get a share of the pie? When I was expelled from the sect, not a single one of you spoke a word of justice for me. Now that you see the Feng Hou Qi Men sect, you're all eager to get involved."

Old Monster Leng sneered, a ruthless glint flashing in his turbid eyes.

"Uncle Leng, you are mistaken. Feng Hou Qi Men is the supreme origin of Qi Men techniques and should belong to the orthodox lineage of the Shu Zi Men. Zhou Sheng only obtained this opportunity by chance and kept this skill to himself. This is not fair to the entire world of supernatural beings or to the Shu Zi Men."

Master Hutu also spoke with a "sincere" expression.

Although he had his own selfish motives, they were all for the sake of the Shuzi Sect.

"Damn it, these two old bastards are really speechless. One is openly trying to rob us, and the other is acting all sanctimonious. The Technique Sect is supposed to be a big sect, yet they utter such nonsense!"

Zhou Sheng secretly complained.

Fortunately, the magic array he created is almost complete, and then he will be able to escape from those two old men.

"Ahem, seniors, Feng Hou Qi Men is no ordinary technique. Forcing yourself to learn it will only bring trouble upon yourself. What I have said is true. Why bother fighting over it?"

Zhou Sheng took half a step back, and a peculiar Qimen formation immediately appeared on the ground, which was the Eight Gates Formation in the Human Plate Magic.

"Don't try to fool me with that nonsense! If you can practice it, why can't I? Either hand over the technique so I can observe it, or don't blame me for taking it by force."

Old Monster Leng sneered, and a strange formation suddenly appeared beneath his feet. He directly used the Kun character - Earth River Chariot.

boom!

Countless earth pythons rose from the ground.

“Uncle Leng, it would be more appropriate to hand this person over to the Shu Zi Sect. Your Quanxing Sect has a chaotic mind, and the Feng Hou Qi Men technique will only cause trouble if it falls into your hands. It would be better for me to take him back to the sect and study it carefully.”

Master Hutu said calmly, and a strange array flowed beneath his feet, with countless bolts of lightning bursting forth at high speed.
