Chapter 33: Treat me as a scholar of the country (Seeking monthly votes for follow-up reading)

Walking out of Xu Bo’s office.

Li Yuan didn't rush to the cafeteria to eat, but returned to the Elite Building, in Martial Arts room 4011.

Waited for a while.

Li Yuan calculated the time and dialed his uncle Li Zhangzhou’s video call.

Soon.

Tick—the video connected, and Li Zhangzhou was eating.

"Uncle." Li Yuan spoke.

"Xiao Yuan, why did you suddenly call me?" Li Zhangzhou smiled while eating a big mouthful: "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Li Yuan shook his head: "Uncle, listen to me, there is something quite important..."

Quickly, Li Yuan told his uncle about what happened this afternoon, one by one.

At the same time, he sent the B-grade contract file to Li Zhangzhou.

Li Zhangzhou started by listening while eating, but after listening for a while, he put down his chopsticks and carefully checked the file.

Occasionally, Li Zhangzhou would ask about details, and then fall into deep thought.

After Li Yuan explained everything clearly.

"Uncle!"

Li Yuan finally said with some hesitation: "I originally wanted to call you tonight, but I feel, is it better to make a decision earlier."

"That’s right."

"You thought right." Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan with admiration and said solemnly: "This matter should indeed be decided early. You go find your teacher Xu Bo now and tell him that you have decided to sign with the Starfire Martial Hall."

"After your teacher agrees, send a message to Hall Master Wan immediately, saying that you agree, are very satisfied with the B-grade contract, and are willing to sign at any time."

"Tonight is fine." Li Zhangzhou said sonorously.

"Immediately?"

"Tonight?" Li Yuan was a bit confused by his uncle’s swift and decisive style.

He still remembered that his uncle had previously told him to compare three shops.

Seeming to see Li Yuan’s confusion, Li Zhangzhou said patiently: "Xiao Yuan, your language grades are good, do you remember an ancient saying?"

"If they treat me as a scholar of the country, I will repay them as a scholar of the country; if they treat me as an ordinary person, I will repay them as an ordinary person."

"With the endorsement of your principal and Teacher Xu, I believe they won't join forces to deceive a child like you."

Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan through the video: "Moreover, the Starry Sky Martial Hall controls the Starry Sky Fighting Network, I know a thing or two, but I didn't expect your mental energy talent... I was ultimately only a 12th-level martial artist back then, and now I can't even be considered a real martial artist, so I really don't know many things."

Li Yuan listened.

His uncle’s martial artist level is not high, but many things are indeed seen through.

"On this matter."

"The Starry Sky Martial Hall’s treatment of you is very insincere." Li Zhangzhou shook his head: "Your Uncle Zhong is a good person, but it’s normal for him to have his own selfish motives... You have to understand, everyone has to live."

Li Yuan nodded slightly, he didn't blame Uncle Zhong.

The other party was not a high-level official of the Martial Hall and had no decision-making power.

"But this Hall Master Wan has already given you maximum sincerity, and is even willing to sponsor you privately." Li Zhangzhou said in a low voice: "If we wait for the results of the Martial Arts Hall and the Starry Sky Martial Hall... then we will appear greedy."

"Sometimes, benefits are important."

"But sometimes, you still have to be worthy of your own heart." Li Zhangzhou said: "Especially since you are about to embark on the path of the Martial Dao."

"Remember one sentence: a martial artist values a clear mind and a clear conscience."

"Clear mind, clear conscience." Li Yuan nodded and silently remembered it.

"You agree to it." Li Zhangzhou continued: "Not just Hall Master Wan, your teacher Xu Bo, and even Principal Tan and the others... will feel that you are decisive and sincere."

"Perhaps you won't care when you are strong in the future."

"Perhaps you won't get direct benefits."

"But three people make a tiger, and public opinion is powerful. You have to look at the long term... When you roam the Star Realm in the future, if you have a good reputation among the martial artist community, it might even save your life at a critical moment." Li Zhangzhou instructed.

"I understand." Li Yuan nodded heavily.

Since junior high school, especially after high school, his uncle often instilled in him the principles of dealing with people from small things.

"Fine, go."

"I will send a message to your aunt immediately." Li Zhangzhou said: "If you want to sign the contract tonight, I will have her come over."

His uncle and aunt were both Li Yuan’s guardians.

"Okay." Li Yuan nodded.

Hung up the video.

Without eating, Li Yuan went directly to Xu Bo’s office and knocked on the door.

"Come in." A low voice sounded.

Pushed the door.

"Teacher Xu." Li Yuan pushed the door open and said directly: "I just communicated with my family, and my uncle and aunt are both willing to sign with the Starfire Martial Hall."

"I will send a message to Hall Master Wan now, does Teacher think it’s appropriate?" Li Yuan went straight to the point.

"Willing to sign now?" Xu Bo’s eyes flashed with surprise: "Not waiting for the Martial Arts Hall’s results?"

"Not waiting."

Li Yuan shook his head: "My family and I are very satisfied with the conditions Hall Master Wan gave, and we all feel there is no need to wait."

"We can sign at any time, tonight is fine." Li Yuan added.

"Haha."

"That’s fine." A smile appeared on Xu Bo’s cold face: "What you think is right. Fine, I will call Hall Master Wan directly via video call, he probably hasn't arrived home yet."

"Remember not to speak."

Li Yuan nodded.

Immediately, in front of Li Yuan, Xu Bo called Hall Master Wan via video call.

Hum~ light condensed into a projection.

Connected.

"Old Wan." Xu Bo smiled.

"Iron Tower, something up?" Hall Master Wan was sitting in the car, his voice carrying a hint of a smile.

From Hall Master Wan’s perspective, he couldn't see Li Yuan’s existence.

"Tell you some good news." Xu Bo smiled: "Just now, Li Yuan communicated with his uncle and aunt. His uncle and aunt originally wanted to wait and see the Martial Arts Hall’s conditions, but Li Yuan, this kid, is sensible and took the initiative to persuade his family, agreeing to sign with your Starfire Martial Hall."

"Just the contract terms you drafted, no need to add anything."

"When is it appropriate to sign?" Xu Bo smiled: "Tonight, or tomorrow is fine, what do you think."

"Decided so quickly?" Hall Master Wan was a bit surprised, but the smile on his face was even brighter: "Good, I didn't misjudge the person."

"Since this little guy trusts me."

"Fine."

"The contract terms remain unchanged." Hall Master Wan thought for a while: "Personally, besides sponsoring him one million Blue Star coins, I will give him an additional one million points."

"Haha, worthy of being a Hall Master, your actions are truly generous." Xu Bo laughed: "One million points, outside, it's worth a million Blue Star coins."

"Before leaving just now, you praised this little guy highly. I trust the person you, Iron Tower, took a fancy to." Hall Master Wan smiled faintly: "Besides, you also know that these points don't have much effect on me, giving them to anyone is the same."

"Good."

"Then I will thank you on behalf of Li Yuan." Xu Bo smiled: "Don't worry, this little guy is grateful and won't let you down."

Hall Master Wan smiled.

"Tonight, I have another dinner party... let’s set the signing time for tomorrow morning at ten." Hall Master Wan thought for a while: "You give your student half a day off, no problem, right?"

"No problem." Xu Bo smiled.

Afterwards, the two hung up the call.

"Li Yuan, you heard it all." Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and smiled: "Points are used internally by the Starfire Martial Hall and can be exchanged for many good things. One million points are no less valuable than one million Blue Star coins."

"Thank you, Teacher." Li Yuan said from the bottom of his heart. He listened to the conversation just now.

If Xu Bo hadn't deliberately beautified it for him, I’m afraid he wouldn't have gotten this benefit.

"What are you thanking me for."

"As a teacher, shouldn't I think for my students?" Xu Bo waved his hand and smiled: "If not, why would I come to be a teacher?"

"Helping you, you also have to have the ability." Xu Bo smiled: "Haven't eaten yet, right."

"Go eat first."

"Sign tomorrow, come to school first, and I will accompany you."

ps: I have tried my best to update. From the release of the book on 3.1 until now, the daily average update has exceeded 7,000 words. I dare not say it’s the only one on Qidian, but at least it should be in the top 5%. During the entire new book period, I basically updated on the red line of the new book list.

This book, based on the current data, has set a new high in my writing career, a height I found hard to believe in the past. Thank you, brothers, for your support.

Tomorrow, I will still maintain a three-chapter update.

It will be here until the 20th, to sprint for a launch activity. If it succeeds, it will be a milestone for my entire writing career.

It’s just that the activity has very high requirements for follow-up reading, and the requirements are very exaggerated, but our current data indeed has hope.

Follow-up reading determines everything about a new book.

I hope brothers can help out. During this period, try not to hoard the book. I will try my best to update.

Feng Xian is here, bowing to thank everyone!!
