C166 To School

"So you're saying, this Liu Mei is the woman he fell in love with back then?" Zheng Lei asked.

Time nodded. "Very likely."

When Zheng Lei was talking to her, there was a peculiar expression in Shui Rou's eyes.

"Shui Rou? What's the matter with you? " Zheng Lei asked, looking at Shui Rou's expression.

Shui Rou shook her head. "It's nothing. I just feel like they haven't gotten together after so many years. I don't feel too comfortable about it."

Zheng Lei looked at Shui Rou. He didn't know if she was referring to him implicitly or not, but he had never thought of having any further development with her. He wasn't a prince and didn't have the habit of hugging left or right.

"Ugh …" A groan of opportunity came from the side. This child, when he was talking non-stop just now, he did not make any sound at all. However, he continued moaning at this moment.

"Eh? Why isn't it hurting anymore? " He even stood up and rubbed his butt as he spoke.

Old Man Liu, who was at the side, rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think I treated your injuries for nothing?"

One sentence attracted both of their attention. Zheng Lei leaned over and asked, "I say, Elder Liu, why do you draw these Dao? Aren't you from the Martial Ancestor Realm? Why do you know Dao Clan stuff? "

Old Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Is your brain squeezed by a door or something? No matter what, I was once the Sect Leader of Wu Dang Sect, Wu Dang, do you know? Wu Dang is a Holy Land of Dao Martial Arts, together with the Shaolin in the north. It is also known as the 'Dao Zen dual martial arts'.

Zheng Lei slowly nodded his head and looked at Old Man Liu with a different expression. He chuckled. "I didn't expect your identity to be so …"

Old man Liu's expression became serious as he said, "It's best you don't reveal my identity. Otherwise, our entire school won't be at peace anymore. You're included, little girl." Old man Liu did not forget to warn Shui Rou.

Zheng Lei had no doubts about Old Man Liu's words. He had interacted with Old Man Liu before, and if Old Man Liu was threatened by him, he had no doubt that Old Man Liu would do it.

After all, in the daily lives of the people, these things were practically legendary existences. Even if she told them about it, not many people would believe it. Even so, in case something happened, Old Man Liu still left them some advice.

It hadn't been long, but the time had already come to life. However, it was already three in the morning and everyone was tired after a night of work. Zheng Lei asked the manager on duty to arrange four rooms for each of them.

Zheng Lei was woken up by someone. The person who woke him up was naturally Old Man Liu, who was used to hitting Tai Chi every morning. It was only seven o'clock. From the time he fell asleep until now, it had only been slightly more than three hours.

"Aiya, let me sleep a little longer. I just fell asleep." Zheng Lei said with his eyes closed.

Old Man Liu saw that Zheng Lei didn't want to get up, so he extended his hand and rotated it in the air above him. Immediately, Zheng Lei was like a millstone, spinning along with his hand. In less than two laps, Zheng Lei felt dizzy and dozed off.

"Hey!" Hey! Stop spinning, can't I get up! " Zheng Lei shouted.

Old Man Liu stopped. Zheng Lei stood up unwillingly. He looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Old Man Liu, why do I feel like you're the same as Zhou Pi [1]?"

"What did you say?"

Zheng Lei had already disappeared from the room. He didn't want to be treated like a millstone by Old Man Liu.

The roof of the building was a great place for morning training. Standing there, the sea breeze blew quietly, and after a whole night of rest, the gentle sea breeze carried a sense of incipient life. It slowly moved across people's faces, giving them a sense of vitality.

Zheng Lei was sitting cross-legged on the roof, blowing the sea breeze. When Old Man Liu came up, his black clothes had already been replaced by a white robe. Zheng Lei only took a glance at these phenomena, and for the current him, they were already nothing out of the ordinary. Even he himself could store a large amount of clothes in his own storage bag.

"Kid, how do you feel?" Old Man Liu walked to Zheng Lei's side and asked.

Zheng Lei opened his eyes, stood up and looked at Old Man Liu, saying, "I feel too weak. Last night, if it wasn't for you two, even I wouldn't have been able to leave that place, much less go save Shui Rou."

Mentioning Shui Rou, Old Man Liu suddenly asked, "What do you think of this girl?"

Zheng Lei thought and said, "I didn't interact much with her, but from what I know of her, at least her performance in front of me is still pretty good, but I still feel that we're not on the same side. If we're friends, then that's fine, but if we go further, then that's not good."

Old man Liu didn't refute him. Instead, he looked at him for a while and said, "As before, think twice about everything. I don't want to interfere in the matters between you youngsters. Think about it yourself."

Listening to Old Man Liu's words, Zheng Lei felt that there was a hidden meaning behind them. However, since Old Man Liu did not say it, it meant that this was not the time to speak. Or rather, Old Man Liu would never tell him.

"Brat, come, push with me. Let me see if you have made any progress in this period of time." Old man Liu said to Zheng Lei as he completed his horse stance.

Zheng Lei said as he walked, "I've only been back to school for a few days. How much improvement can I make?" Furthermore, I have been busy these past few days with these kinds of things and have never had the chance to cultivate. "

As he spoke, Zheng Lei placed his hand beside Old Man Liu and the two of them drew circles with each other's hands.

After a while, Old Man Liu stopped his hand and said to Zheng Lei, "Your cultivation speed is very fast and surprising. Although I had previously discovered that the speed of gathering true energy in your body was very fast, I have only now realized that what you discovered back then was but a drop in the ocean."

Zheng Lei was puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"I remember when you first came back to school, you had just reached Foundation Establishment and weren't very stable yet. But after less than a month, I found that your cultivation had stabilized and even increased a bit." Old Man Liu said with his hands behind his back. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his days as the Sect Leader.

Zheng Lei's eyes lit up, scratching his head he said, "So, I'm still a genius in cultivation?"

Old man Liu looked at him with contempt and said, "What's the use of cultivating? "If one's brain is full of paste, no matter how high one's cultivation is, they would only be the wedding clothes for others."

Zheng Lei's eyes, which had finally lit up, suddenly lost all its light. He looked at Old Man Liu and said, "Can you not be so harsh on me? With my young heart, how could I withstand such a blow from you? "

"With just you? A young heart? How about I send you to kindergarten tomorrow? "

"Forget it. If you want to go, go by yourself."

Old man Liu didn't respond to Zheng Lei's words. Instead, he slightly creased his brows and said, "Kid, I remember that time before we went to Di Shui World, there was someone behind your back at school saying bad things about you. After you heard it, you glared at that kid."

Zheng Lei thought about it carefully and finally remembered this matter. However, he didn't know why Old Man Liu would suddenly mention this matter. Puzzled, he asked: "That's right, what's the matter?"

"When you glared at that child, he was so scared that he stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move. Do you know why?" Old Liu asked.

Of course, Zheng Lei didn't know the specific reason. He also said that he was angry at the time, which was why he scared that brat to such an extent. Thus, he lightly shook his head.

He said to Zheng Lei, "The reason why you stared at him and scared him to such an extent is not because of your own aura, but because of the anger in your heart at that time, so you unknowingly focused your Spiritual Energy on someone else's body. And this Spiritual Energy contained a slight killing intent, so it made him so scared."

He felt that Old Man Liu's words made sense. The two times he had talked bad about himself behind Old Man Liu's back, the Spiritual Energy within his body would involuntarily fluctuate. However, he did not know that this would actually make his gaze become terrifying.

He turned to Old Man Liu and said, "This is pretty good. At least those people won't dare to speak ill of others behind their backs anymore."

"Good? You think this is a good phenomenon? "Let me tell you, if you keep thinking like this, you'll be finished if you meet any other cultivators in the future." Old Man Liu's expression turned serious.

"Wow, it can't be, it's that serious?" Zheng Lei couldn't believe it. Wasn't it just a look?

"Serious? Do you know what that gaze of yours is? "

Eyes? What else could a gaze be? Zheng Lei shook his head doubtfully.

"This kind of gaze is the rudimentary form of Spiritual Awareness. It's just like what you see in novels. Cultivators can extend their Spiritual Awareness. Similarly, Spiritual Awareness can also hurt people."

"That is to say, I have already condensed my Spiritual Awareness?" Zheng Lei suddenly felt that he was pretty awesome. He had just reached Foundation Establishment and immediately condensed his own Spiritual Awareness.

"Come on, why is it that every time you talk about it, you start to stink? I only said that it's the elementary form of Spiritual Awareness and not that it's just Spiritual Awareness." Old Liu rolled his eyes at him and continued, "Although I can't continue to teach you cultivation techniques, I can still teach you some tricks. Otherwise, when you run into a gunshot wound, you still won't know how you died."

Ever since Zheng Lei returned from White Cloud Temple, Old Man Liu had never allowed him to practice martial arts with him. Although the two sects' cultivation techniques weren't incompatible, they were both in their own systems, and it was extremely difficult to find a perfect balance between them. Therefore, Old Man Liu didn't dare to take the risk of having Zheng Lei practice cultivation techniques from both the True Faction and the Martial Sect simultaneously.

Old man Liu had taught Zheng Lei a way to restrain his own spirit energy. Because his cultivation was still shallow, it was not the time to condense his consciousness. If his luck was good, then once an accident occurred, it would be very difficult to treat his injuries.

After the morning practice ended, when the two returned to the guest room, both Shui Rou and the timing were up. It seemed like the fierce battle last night didn't make the two of them too tired, the timing wasn't too bad. Zheng Lei knew that he wasn't an ordinary person, while Shui Rou seemed to be in high spirits.

When Shui Rou saw Zheng Lei, she lightly smiled and walked in front of Zheng Lei, lightly saying, "Thank you for saving me. If there's nothing else, let's go back to school."

Zheng Lei looked at Shui Rou and suddenly felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Although he had previously thought that if he was able to save Shui Rou for the second time, he might get excited and make her pay with his life, but now, it seemed that Shui Rou did not feel anything. She was too calm, so calm that it was terrifying.

The timing was also a smart one. Upon hearing Shui Rou's words, he hurriedly said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Boy, I still have things to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!" As he spoke, he gave Old Man Liu a look.

Old Man Liu was also a smart person. He smiled at Zheng Lei and said, "I'll be leaving first too. You guys go back to school. Be careful on your way back."

Only the two of them were left in the guest room. Zheng Lei looked at Shui Rou quietly. Shui Rou also stared at Zheng Lei without moving. The two of them remained silent.

After a long while, Shui Rou smiled and said, "I've thought it through. From now on, I'm your friend. If you need anything, just come find me. If you can't help, I still have some money at home."

Zheng Lei couldn't understand why Shui Rou would suddenly say such a thing, but since she already said so, he couldn't remain indifferent. He reached out his hand to pat Shui Rou on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we're good brothers from now on. Let's go back to school!"

Naturally, he left the matters of the Emperor Water World for Li Fangyu to manage. Zheng Lei and Shui Rou squeezed into the bus and returned to school.

It had been a while since the two of them had returned to school. At one point, these two had been transferred to another school, but now they appeared in pairs in front of everyone, which surprised everyone.

Although there were rumors about the two of them on campus, it was only a legend. But now, the two of them had returned together, and looking at Shui Rou's expression, it seemed as if Zheng Lei had nourished her.

"Damn it!" A good cabbage was eaten by a pig again! " In order to confirm the method that Old Man Liu taught him, he secretly used that method, and then looked towards the person who spoke. That person's gaze was on him, and after looking at him for a moment, he easily turned his gaze in another direction.

Then, Zheng Lei once again stopped the method. He exploded out the anger in his heart as he coldly glared at that person. The two gazes collided and the person's legs instantly gave way as he fell to the ground.
