Chapter 306: Transaction
"Youyou, from a scientific perspective, this is a type of application of quantum entanglement. You only need a quantum coordinate marked for sensing to instantly traverse space. The movement we recognize in conventional terms is just a relatively primitive method in the universe; theoretically, many forms of movement are not restricted by time and space." Li Hao changed the subject with a straight face, and then he saw the look of admiration in A Youyou's eyes. This tactic of making a feint to the east while attacking in the west was still effective.
Suddenly, Li Hao's heart skipped a beat. He thought of that mark on his chest. "Nowhere to be found after wearing out iron shoes"—things were becoming interesting.
"Hmph, Hao, I still don't understand what you're saying, but does it mean that no matter what danger I encounter, you will appear by my side?" A Youyou grabbed Li Hao and looked up at him.
"Yes!" Li Hao said decisively.
The two stood on the streets of the Moon looking at each other, getting closer and closer. In truth, Li Hao had to admit that when A Youyou wasn't disguising herself, she was like a fairy, truly too beautiful to look at directly. The current A Youyou was softer and more approachable. Just as they were about to do something, a hovercar whizzed past, giving them both a start.
A Youyou looked at Li Hao curiously, "Second Brother, it seems that in this state of mine, your courage is a bit greater and you really like to get handsy."
Li Hao's face turned red, and he looked around, "Cough, cough, no, that, I was just thinking about what gifts to buy for Er Ya and the others."
"Is that so? Buying gifts, huh? Moon potatoes are also quite distinctive," A Youyou said with a playful wink. "How many pounds do you want to buy?"
"Ah, you even know this?" Li Hao was dumbfounded. Which little one sold him out? He would spank them when he got back; they were all rebelling one by one.
"Senior, everything about you is under my control. Come on, today your sister will act as a shopping guide for you once!" A Youyou proudly took Li Hao's arm, the soft touch making Li Hao's mind a bit unsteady.
Li Hao couldn't help but pinch A Youyou's cute little nose, "How did you become my sister?"
"Doesn't matter, today I want to be your sister," A Youyou said coquettishly.
Li Hao was a bit helpless, "Keep it up and I'll eat you."
"There, have a bite," A Youyou teased.
Li Hao's face turned red, "Are you overestimating my endurance, or underestimating your own charm?"
"Not at all, I'm just seducing you." A Youyou's big eyes flickered. Even though she wore contact lenses to conceal her Starry Eyes, she still radiated a moving glow; this was the charm of a girl's budding youth.
The sweetest, the clearest.
"Sister, you win."
A Youyou laughed, laughing so happily, holding Li Hao's arm tightly.
The two had already arrived at the entrance of a shopping mall. Li Hao, who had been full of confidence just a moment ago, was now a bit panicked. With this magnificent decoration, he felt like he would go bankrupt just by going inside once. But since they were already here, how could he back down?
After all, at worst he could just borrow from Team Leader Dita again; it's easy to borrow and return, and borrowing again won't be difficult.
After glancing inside for a moment, Li Hao broke into a sweat. He prepared to secretly send a message to Dita to borrow some money first; he wasn't sure if the mall here allowed overdrafts, and if not, it would be embarrassing.
How could such a small action escape A Youyou's notice? "Today, I am the one buying gifts for the little ones!"
Li Hao held his head high, "You choose, I pay the bill, otherwise I'll lose face!"
A Youyou bit her lip lightly, *muah*, and kissed Li Hao on the face. "Is that enough face for you?"
"Too fast, I haven't felt the face yet. How about a slow one?"
"In your dreams, hurry up and follow your sister!"
Tianjing Martial Arts base.
Sheng Man, Tan Ziyuan, and Lu Lingxiao were in Sheng Man's room. The three girls had such deep feelings about today's battle, especially Sheng Man and Lu Lingxiao, who had their eyes opened. More importantly, the emotional fluctuations were quite significant.
"I couldn't tell that Wuzang was usually so quiet, but he's so reliable at critical moments. Cheng Konghai too; the first time I saw him, he looked so small and thin that I thought he couldn't even beat me." Lu Lingxiao shook her fair, tender little feet, almost flinging off her slippers.
"He's usually a good boy, but once he's on the battlefield, he's instantly full of dominance. He's kind of handsome."
"The most amazing one is still Li Hao. He plans strategies and truly has the air of a great general. Our Team Leader is a bit magical. Ziyuan, your taste is really good. I support you now too; long-distance relationships have no results, and rich second generations all like to play around and are restless!" Lu Lingxiao also became firm.
"That's right, I said long ago that their breakup is only a matter of time. Our Ziyuan is the most suitable." Sheng Man expressed complete agreement; from the beginning, she had been Tan Ziyuan's firmest supporter. "Our Ma Laoshi is just a little spy. A Youyou has never even been here. A rich second generation from the Moon, studying art—just think about how unreliable that is."
Tan Ziyuan smiled slightly, "The two of them are very suitable and very good. Don't play matchmaker blindly. I admit I like and appreciate Li Hao, but it's really not the kind where it must be something. I've sorted out my emotions well now. A person like him is destined to make waves, and Tianjing Martial Arts won't be able to keep him. Don't you think that just having such an experience in life is happiness in itself?"
Sheng Man and Lu Lingxiao looked at each other. They could understand the words, but they really couldn't accept this level of detachment. For Sheng Man, whether the melon was sweet or not didn't matter; she would pluck it first to quench her thirst, and even if it didn't quench her thirst, it didn't matter—the process of breaking it off was exciting enough.
"You, what can I say? Anyway, do as you see fit. Lingxiao, how are things with you and Zuo Xiaotang?" Sheng Man suddenly changed the subject.
"Ah, what? Nothing's going on." Lu Lingxiao blushed instantly, "Manman, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing between us."
"See, I didn't even say anything, and you're reacting so strongly—it's like saying 'there's no silver buried here'," Sheng Man laughed. In the dormitory, except for Lu Ying, the other two were really no match for her. It was a pity Lu Ying was too extreme. "Zuo Xiaopang is definitely a blue-chip stock, and he's a good person too. You'll lose out if you're slow."
"What can I do? Should I go seduce him?" Lu Lingxiao was also helpless; she felt that Zuo Xiaotang didn't have those kinds of feelings for her.
"What do you mean by seduce? Boys can be proactive, and girls can too. Go eat, chat, watch a movie—won't the distance close up?"
"It's not a good time now, the pressure of the exchange tournament is very high."
"Silly, there are plenty of opportunities. What's important is your awareness," Sheng Man said proudly. "For men, you have to be quick and decisive, take them down as soon as possible!"
"Is Teacher Sheng also going to change careers to become a relationship mentor?" Tan Ziyuan laughed.
"Ah, damn, I've been infected by our little Ma. If this continues, I might become a matchmaker in the future. Heavens, how did someone like me become like this? It's all Ma Long's fault!"
Wuzang and Cheng Konghai won, so the pressure on Ma Long and Zuo Xiaotang increased. Judging from today's situation, the days ahead probably wouldn't be easy. Cheng Konghai couldn't block all the sparring matches, otherwise, it wouldn't be an exchange tournament. Huo Ying, on the other hand, was fast asleep. Regardless of whether he was injured or not, his attitude had always been the same: he didn't care who the opponent was, whether they were strong or weak; he only cared about himself. Just do it, that's all. If he won, he earned it; if he lost, he just lay flat. It was no big deal, so he ate well and slept soundly, always full of enthusiasm and always high in fighting spirit.
The exchange tournament had already begun, so of course, it wouldn't just be about Tianjing Martial Arts.
After Zhou Naiyi went back, Aofei came to the training ground, where someone was already waiting: Yintai Dumela.
"Aofei, you're a bit dawdling." Dumela was definitely the heroic type among women.
"I was delayed by something."
"From Tianjing, right? Wuzang is qualified enough, but that one is the easiest to deal with. As for the remaining two pieces of material, I really don't know how to carve them; it's enough to give you guys a headache," Dumela said. "I don't know what Li Ge is thinking, creating difficulties for himself for no reason."
"Would something Second Brother thinks is doable fail?" Aofei smiled faintly.
Dumela was noncommittal. The two stood together, perfectly interpreting two types of tall, beautiful forms. "Our record this year is 5:4. I'll come back to even it out in these next few days."
"That depends on whether you have the ability."
Among experts, one cannot avoid probing the bottom, but one also cannot just find anyone to probe the bottom. One must choose suitable people by considering various aspects. Usually, it wouldn't be someone from one's own theater, as the conflict of interest is too obvious. One looks for people in other theaters with similar strength, similar status, and compatible personalities and other aspects.
Aofei's main personal training opponent was Dumela, only previously it had always been Mecha combat.
"Let's not use Mecha today, it's rare that we've met."
"I was just wanting to test your ability," Aofei laughed.
In another independent training ground, standing opposite Fan Liweite was Lone Wolf Romero. The two, who usually looked like mortal enemies, were actually getting along harmoniously.
"That subordinate of yours is really trash. To be taken out in seconds in that situation—you're in trouble this year," Romero mocked. The strength was clearly superior, yet not only did they lose, but they also let the opponent advance. Only a Moon Person could do such a stupid thing.
Fan Liweite didn't care at all, "A mere Burning Will won't be able to stir up any waves. I'm going to drive Tianjing Martial Arts away."
Romero was stunned; this was not Fan Liweite's usual style. In terms of acting ability, Moon People crushed those from Earth and Mars, and even with Romero's caution, the underhandedness of Moon People was impossible to guard against.
Fan Liweite wanted to drive away someone invited by Xilian; he clearly didn't need to come, yet Fan Liweite had come, and having come, he didn't give Xilian any face—this was interesting. He had originally thought the Moon's great fortune was already set and could not be defied, but now he saw their internal conflicts were even greater; many powerful fortunes collapsed from within, especially when they appeared impregnable.
"That guy is there, it's not easy to handle; if things go wrong, trouble will happen. In a Mecha battle, there is a chance of winning, but in a one-on-one, no one is certain." Romero looked at Fan Liweite noncommittally.
"No need to worry about him; a move doesn't have to be new, as long as it works," Fan Liweite said. "Since he is deliberately avoiding it and giving an opportunity, then he can't blame anyone else. Or are you saying that you are afraid of him now?"
Fan Liweite's eyes were full of provocation, and the corners of his mouth still carried that annoying, half-smiling expression.
Romero smiled. "Don't play the provocation game with me; whether I'm afraid or not isn't something to be said with the mouth. Everyone is the same; as long as the benefits are big enough, I'll kill anyone just the same. No one is a fool to do things for no reason."
"What do you want?" Fan Liweite knew the timing was right.
(Yesterday was very long, I actually forgot to brag a bit,)
