Chapter 123: The one who got there first has arrived

After saying this, Chen Baolin really flicked his arm and left the main hall angrily, leaving Pili alone to kneel here.

Chen Sheng was anxious and distressed, "Cancan, you know your master. If you don't explain this matter clearly, not only will you have to kneel here, but he won't accept this money either."

Pili looked at the money on the tea table. This money was earned from fighting "underground boxing" over the past six months, from two yuan per match during the rookie period to twenty yuan per match now after her winning rate increased and she made a name for herself.

In total, after more than thirty matches, she had earned nearly two hundred yuan!

This was definitely not a small amount for ordinary people, but her master's wife was now lying in the intensive care unit, and every day was basically burning money while waiting for a kidney source.

So she couldn't stop, and didn't dare to stop.

If her master knew she was earning money by fighting "underground boxing," he would definitely not agree.

So Pili lowered her head, not intending to explain much. She could endure the punishment of kneeling; it wasn't like she hadn't knelt before.

Chen Sheng saw her stubborn donkey temper come up again and sighed helplessly, "No matter where you got this money or what way you earned it, don't go again in the future. This courtyard has already been handed over to an intermediary. Once there is a buyer, the money problem will naturally be solved."

Pili looked up suddenly after hearing her Senior Brother's words, "Sell the courtyard? This is the Chen family's ancestral home. How can it be sold? Besides, what about the martial arts hall if the courtyard is sold?"

"Do what you have to do. Don't worry about the rest."

Shen Ci and Gu Lianxing already couldn't hear the words behind, but they heard Pili's punishment of kneeling clearly.

"Is this the old society? Why is there still such feudal dross as kneeling?" Gu Lianxing said indignantly.

Shen Ci naturally didn't understand either, but they were outsiders after all, and it sounded like Pili earning money by fighting boxing matches was very serious; otherwise, she wouldn't keep silent about it.

Thinking about it, she seemed to understand some things. Families inheriting Chinese martial arts should mostly be relatively traditional and have more backbone, naturally unable to accept earning money by fighting such betting boxing matches.

If there was secret manipulation, then the essence of this matter was actually illegal, which was why Pili didn't dare to say it.

The room door was knocked. Gu Lianxing went up to open the door; it was Chen Sheng.

"Pili might not go back to school today," Chen Sheng said.

Gu Lianxing still wanted to speak for Pili but was pulled by Shen Ci. She nodded to Chen Sheng, "Then we'll go back first in a while."

Chen Sheng showed an apologetic expression and curled his lips. He also knew that his father's loud voice couldn't escape anyone's ears, and they must have heard what happened just now.

But not saying much was also a kind of respect.

"I want to plead for Pili," after Chen Sheng left, Gu Lianxing couldn't help but mutter softly.

Shen Ci looked at her and sighed helplessly, "We aren't qualified to talk much about this kind of thing. If there was any mercy to be pleaded, Senior Brother would definitely have rushed ahead of us to speak for Pili."

"Then just let Pili kneel there?"

"State law and family rules, kneeling is the family rule of Baolin Martial Arts Hall. Can't you see it yet? And Master Chen is more worried about Pili than us. The reason he did this is also for Pili's own good. After all, earning money by fighting betting boxing matches is not a stable thing after all. If one day the matter is exposed, even if Pili doesn't fight fake matches, her participation in the betting of the match will not be able to get rid of the relationship. This is illegal."

Shen Ci said this and had already put on her shoes, "So, it's not too late for Pili to withdraw and stop now."

After hearing these words from Shen Ci, Gu Lianxing realized some of the principles behind it after the fact. Not to mention anything else, illegal things really couldn't be done. What if something really happened?

When the two left, they passed by the main hall. Pili was kneeling there with her back to them. As if hearing footsteps, Pili turned her head to look.

Gu Lianxing had a distressed expression, pointed to the soft cushion on the chair, and then pointed to her knees, signaling Pili not to be stubborn and that taking a cushion would be more comfortable.

Pili just smiled and shook her head to indicate she was fine, and then said with her mouth shape, "You guys go back first, don't worry about me."

Seeing her reaction, she knew she was used to kneeling, so Shen Ci nodded with peace of mind and left Baolin Martial Arts Hall with Gu Lianxing.

In the evening, Shao Yu received a message from Shen Ci and ran to wait for her downstairs at the women's dormitory.

"Qu Yang is training these few days. Next week is the National University League," Shao Yu explained to Shen Ci why Qu Yang didn't come.

Shen Ci didn't mind. It was fine as long as this gift of thanks could be delivered to Qu Yang.

She handed the shoes she was carrying to Shao Yu, "Then I'll trouble you to pass them to him for me."

Just looking at the handbag, Shao Yu recognized at a glance that these shoes were the limited joint edition that he had queued up with Qu Yang but didn't grab.

"Damn, Shen Ci, how did you get them? You didn't buy them from a shoe scalper at a premium, did you?" Shao Yu was both surprised and happy, happy for his brother.

Shen Ci didn't deny it, "Otherwise, is there any other way?"

Shao Yu grinned and nodded, happier than receiving the gift himself. Then his brain got hot, and he said inexplicably, "Li Xiao hasn't returned to the dorm for a long time before the holiday, and hasn't returned after the holiday."

"I don't need to report his affairs to me. I have no relationship with him anymore," Shen Ci said calmly.

"I didn't mean anything else..."

Shen Ci smiled slightly to show she understood, "It's okay, I know you mean well. If there's nothing else, I'll go up first. Thank you for helping me pass them on."

"Don't be polite, it's just a matter of convenience."

Shen Ci nodded and said goodbye, just about to leave, when Shao Yu suddenly said again, "Shen Ci..."

"Hmm?"

"You..." Shao Yu hesitated, pursed his lips, and after a while, gathered the courage to ask, "You have feelings for Qu Yang, right?"

This question was sudden, making Shen Ci slightly stunned.

"Sorry, I'm just anxious for him. He has a dull personality and sometimes might not be able to express his heart, but I know he likes you," Shao Yu quickly explained.

Shen Ci came back to her senses and smiled. She didn't get angry because of this, just responded calmly, "You shouldn't tell me these things."

After speaking, Shen Ci turned and entered the dormitory building.

Shao Yu sighed annoyedly and raised his hand to pat his mouth lightly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Qu Yang himself isn't in a hurry. I don't know if I helped with a disservice."

"Sent it out?"

Back in the dorm, Gu Lianxing looked at Shen Ci and asked with a smile.

Shen Ci nodded.

"Qu Yang is quite good. Why don't you try with him? You've already sent the shoes out. Maybe it can push him to gather the courage to confess to you."

Shen Ci hummed and shook her head, "I guess he won't."

"So certain?"

Shen Ci nodded. Gu Lianxing was even more hesitant when she saw this, "He really can hold his breath. Isn't he afraid of being beaten to the punch by others?"

As soon as the words fell, the one who got there first arrived.

Tang Song sent a message to Shen Ci: "Let's eat together tomorrow night?" ===== CHAPTER 124 =====
