Chapter 39: A Model of Pretending to be Tough

"Don't worry, you are already Third Brother's master, he will definitely honor you well in the future, are you afraid of having no money?" I smiled and signaled Third Brother.

Third Brother originally wanted to refuse, but seeing my signal, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old beggar and called: "Master!"

Third Brother had always been quite reassured about my words, because he knew I must have a reason for doing this, and wouldn't harm him.

Sure enough, the old beggar saw Third Brother kneeling and kowtowing, and also smiled, nodded, and said: "Although your aptitude and roots aren't good, you are still diligent. With me teaching you, your future will be limitless. Besides, you've already taken me as a master, so I'll teach you some!"

After saying that, the old beggar touched Third Brother's head just like before. Not long after, Third Brother opened his eyes and looked at the old beggar in disbelief, feeling like he was dreaming. Finally, he reacted and knelt on the ground again: "Thank you, Master!"

This time Third Brother was truly sincere in his thanks. Originally he thought this old man was purely a liar, but he didn't expect him to be a real expert, and it also refreshed his worldview.

After Third Brother finished speaking, he looked at me suspiciously, as if waiting for my answer. I nodded, and only then did Third Brother know that all of this was actually true, and sighed: "Damn, I really feel like I'm dreaming today, this is too incredible, it simply can't be explained by science!"

"Forget it, science? You don't even study much! What do you know about science!" I looked at Third Brother irritably.

"You guys, still too young, shallow in experience. Go out and see the world more in the future, you will find there are many things that are incredible to you!" The old beggar smiled.

"Master, when can we reach your level?" Third Brother asked pleasantly surprised.

"You guys, with your current situation, it will probably take seventy or eighty years of practice to reach my level!" The old beggar looked at us and said.

"What? Seventy or eighty years? Then what's the use of practicing this thing!" Third Brother said disappointed.

"You don't know anything. If you practice this for a few years, ordinary people won't be your match. Unless you meet the same kind of people, otherwise you can walk sideways. Fighting dozens of people alone is no problem!" The old beggar said proudly.

"Ah, only dozens? I thought I was invincible!" Third Brother curled his lips, obviously very dissatisfied.

"Damn, you think it's cheating? Still directly invincible, why don't you go to heaven? And remind you, don't use the Wu Gong moves I gave you easily, unless you encounter life danger, or encounter the same kind of people! These are the rules of the Jianghu, so you must remember!" The old beggar exhorted.

Then, when we wanted to say something more, we found the old beggar was already gone, and couldn't help but sigh, truly the demeanor of an expert.

Third Brother looked around, searched for a long time, and finally didn't find the old beggar, and said enviously: "Sigh, when can I reach this step? Too handsome, simply coming without a shadow and leaving without a trace, truly the demeanor of an expert!"

I smiled and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, one day you will!"

These days Zhuge Yue would show up to find Zhang Yinuo and me to eat together when she had nothing to do. However, those boys also looked at me with envy, jealousy, and hatred. But some people were full of gratitude to me, because it was because of me that they could see Zhuge Yue.

Although I tried to find out about Zhuge Yue's situation these days, from beginning to end I only knew her name and her deeds in school, and nothing else. Every time this topic was mentioned, she could always bypass it appropriately. After a few times, I knew she didn't want to talk about this, so I didn't ask anymore. After all, doing so would make others dislike me.

The breathing techniques and Wu Gong moves passed on by the old beggar were really quite good. After two days of breathing and exhaling, I clearly felt that my whole body was much lighter, and my whole body exuded unusual power. Even the ten thousand meters of morning running didn't make me pant heavily anymore. In short, the effect was still very great. Perhaps, as the old beggar said, after practicing for many years, I might become a big boss.

This day, when Third Brother and I were eating at noon as usual, Zhuge Yue also appeared in front of us as usual.

Seeing Zhuge Yue's arrival, Third Brother shouted excitedly: "Come sit here, sit here!"

However, he was still snubbed as usual, but Third Brother was already used to it. Wang Xiaopang was also there, because these days he found that as long as he followed Third Brother and me to the cafeteria to eat, the probability of meeting Zhuge Yue was quite high. Although the goddess had never looked at him directly, he didn't care at all, as long as he could look at Zhuge Yue from afar, he was satisfied.

Zhuge Yue sat beside me, her expression lacking its usual spirit. I looked at her suspiciously and asked: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zhuge Yue looked at me and said: "You might have something to do today!"

"Me? What could I have to do?" I looked at Zhuge Yue with full confusion and asked.

"Chen Zhen invited people from outside the school, and he found quite a few people. Today he might come to find trouble with you, be careful yourself!" Zhuge Yue frowned and said.

"Chen Zhen, damn, that coward still dares to come? If he dares to come, I'll be the first to slap him to death!" Third Brother cursed with disdain. For Chen Zhen, Third Brother had always looked down on him.

"Oh? Is that so? I'd like to see how you slap me today!" Suddenly a sentence came, attracting everyone's attention.

The one who came was Chen Zhen and more than twenty people. This lineup was even stronger than last time, and there were quite a few with tattoos, looking like small hooligans in society, all holding sticks and iron bars, looking like they were prepared to kill us.

"Does the school allow outsiders to come in?" I whispered to Zhuge Yue.

"They usually climb over the wall, or they are familiar with the security guards and come in!" Zhuge Yue didn't expect the other party to come so quickly.

"Damn, they really dare to come!" Third Brother couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

Chen Zhen looked at Third Brother with a black face and cursed: "Xu Hongzhi, today I see you preparing to wait for death!"

Third Brother looked at these twenty-plus people with disdain and said: "Is this all the people you brought? Call everyone you can call, I'm afraid these people won't be enough to beat later!"

Before Chen Zhen could speak, a shirtless man holding a stick walked over and was about to make a move on Third Brother, cursing: "Damn, what are you pretending to be tough for?" ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
