Chapter 33

Walking out of Xu Bo's office.

Li Yuan didn't rush to the cafeteria to eat, but first returned to the Elite Building, into Martial Arts Room 4011.

Waiting for a while.

Li Yuan calculated the time and dialed the video call to his uncle, Li Zhangzhou.

Soon.

Drip—the video connected; Li Zhangzhou was eating.

"Uncle," Li Yuan started.

"Little Yuan, why did you suddenly call me?" Li Zhangzhou laughed while eating big mouthfuls. "Have you eaten yet?"

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

Quickly, Li Yuan told his uncle everything that happened this afternoon.

At the same time, he sent the B-level contract document to Li Zhangzhou.

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

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

After Li Yuan explained everything clearly.

"Uncle!"

Li Yuan finally said with slight hesitation, "I originally wanted to call you tonight, but I feel, wouldn't it be better to make a decision sooner?"

"That's right."

"You're thinking correctly," Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan with admiration and said solemnly, "This matter should indeed be decided sooner. Go find your teacher Xu Bo now and tell him that you have decided to sign with the Starfire Martial Hall."

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

"Tonight is fine too," Li Zhangzhou said firmly.

"Right now?"

"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 different options.

Seeming to see Li Yuan's confusion, Li Zhangzhou said quite patiently, "Little Yuan, your language grades are good; do you remember an old saying?"

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

"With your principal and Teacher Xu vouching for them, 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 little bit about it, but I didn't expect your spiritual power talent... I was only a Level 12 martial artist back then, and now I don't even count as a true martial artist; there are indeed many things I don't understand."

Li Yuan listened.

His uncle's martial artist level wasn't high, but he truly saw through many things clearly.

"On this matter."

"The Starry Sky Martial Hall's treatment of you is very insincere," Li Zhangzhou shook his head. "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 make a living."

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

The other party wasn't high-level management in the Martial Hall and didn't have the power to decide.

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

"Sometimes, benefits are very 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 martial arts path."

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

"A clear mind and a clear conscience," Li Yuan nodded and silently wrote it down.

"You agree to it," Li Zhangzhou continued. "Not just Hall Master Wan, but your teacher Xu Bo, and even Principal Tan and the others... will all feel that you act decisively and are full of sincerity."

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

"Perhaps you won't directly gain any benefits."

"But three people make a tiger, and public opinion is a powerful force; you have to look at the long term in life... 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 middle school, especially after high school, his uncle often used small things to instill in him the principles of how to conduct himself in the world.

"Alright, go."

"I'll send a message to your aunt immediately," Li Zhangzhou said. "If the contract needs to be signed tonight, I'll have her come over."

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

"Good," Li Yuan nodded.

Hanging 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.

Pushing the door.

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

"I'll send a message to Hall Master Wan right now; Teacher, do you think it's appropriate?" Li Yuan got straight to the point.

"Willing to sign right now?" Xu Bo's eyes flashed with surprise. "Not waiting for the Martial Arts Bureau's results?"

"Not waiting anymore."

Li Yuan shook his head. "My family and I are very satisfied with the conditions Hall Master Wan offered, and we both feel there's no need to wait."

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

"Haha."

"That's fine too," a smile appeared on Xu Bo's cold face. "You're thinking correctly. Alright, I'll call Hall Master Wan directly on a video call; he probably hasn't arrived home yet."

"Remember not to speak."

Li Yuan nodded.

Immediately, in front of Li Yuan, Xu Bo dialed a video call to Hall Master Wan.

Hum~ the 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 presence.

"I have good news for you," 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 Bureau's conditions, but this kid Li Yuan is sensible and took the initiative to persuade his family, agreeing to sign with your Starfire Martial Hall."

"Regarding the contract terms you drafted, there's 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 grew wider. "Good, it seems I didn't misjudge the person."

"Since this little guy trusts me."

"Alright."

"The contract terms remain unchanged," Hall Master Wan thought for a moment. "Personally, in addition to sponsoring him one million Blue Star coins, I'll gift him an extra one million points."

"Haha, worthy of being a hall master; your actions are truly generous," Xu Bo smiled. "One million points are worth a million Blue Star coins outside."

"Just before leaving, you praised this little guy highly; I trust the person you, Iron Tower, have taken a liking to," Hall Master Wan smiled faintly. "Besides, you know, these points don't have much use for me; if I don't give them to him, who else would I give them to?"

"Good."

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

Hall Master Wan smiled.

"Tonight, I have a dinner engagement... let's set the signing time for tomorrow morning at ten," Hall Master Wan thought for a moment. "You're giving your student a half-day off, no problem, right?"

"No problem," Xu Bo smiled.

Afterward, the two hung up the call.

"Li Yuan, you heard it all," Xu Bo looked at Li Yuan and smiled. "Points are used for internal circulation in 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 had listened to the conversation just now.

If Xu Bo hadn't deliberately beautified things for him, he probably wouldn't have received this benefit.

"Why thank me?"

"As a teacher, shouldn't I think for my students?" Xu Bo waved his hand and smiled. "If not for this, why would I bother being a teacher?"

"To help you, you also need to have the ability," Xu Bo smiled. "Haven't eaten yet, right?"

"Go eat first."

"For the signing tomorrow, you come to school first, and I will accompany you."

PS: I have been trying my best to update; from the book's release on 3.1 until now, the daily average update has exceeded 7,000 words. I dare not say it's unique on the starting point website, but at least it should be in the top 5%. Throughout the new book period, I have basically been updating on the edge of the new book ranking numbers.

This book, based on 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 three chapters of updates.

I need to keep this up until the 20th to sprint for a launch event; if I can succeed, it will be a milestone for my entire writing career.

It's just that the event has very high requirements for follow-up reading, very exaggerated requirements, but with our current data, there is indeed hope.

Follow-up reading determines everything for a new book.

I hope brothers can help out; during this period, try not to stockpile the book, and I will try my best to update.

Feng Xian is here, bowing and thanking everyone!!
