Chapter 26, Dispute

After returning to the Shen family, Bi Kai went to the General Affairs Department to register, enter his name card, and collect his badge, monthly allowance, etc. Before, they went in and out using the temporary certificate they had obtained last night.

Zhuang Jin wanted to accompany him, but Bi Kai wouldn't let him, saying it was not necessary. Perhaps he already felt indebted and didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he didn't insist and went to the Transmission Office on his own to receive the Black Evil Kung Fu Sutras 1 to 3 and the Black Evil Palm martial arts manual.

Afterwards, he went to the Alchemy Department and bought two sets of Black Yuan Powder. He did not buy the medicine package for the Black Evil Palm because of his poor health. He planned to listen to Ping Yongfeng's advice and focus on improving his realm first.

Back to the official warrior dormitory, Room 51, someone has already returned.

"Haha, Jinzi, you're here!" As soon as I walked in, I heard Xiong Lei's surprised voice, followed by a complaint: "Jinzi, you told me that you were almost there the other day, and I thought you were almost able to control your Qi and blood. I didn't expect that you were almost able to break through the bottleneck just like me. This is not a good thing to do. It's hard to hide it from me!"

Seeing that Xiong Lei was indeed imagining things like this, Zhuang Jin did not explain, but just smiled slightly.

"Also, I heard about what happened last night. He beat Wang Rui half to death with one palm and saved Bi Kai. He was so majestic and powerful! It's a pity that I didn't see it..." Xiong Lei said in surprise.

Zhuang Jin looked at it in surprise. This happened last night. Although it had spread among the martial artists this morning, it was separated from the martial artists and the formal warriors. How could it spread so quickly?
However, when he saw a person, he immediately understood.

At this time, besides him and Xiong Lei, there were three other people in the room. One was Xiang Qichen, who had met him before and was in the same martial arts training ground. One was a strange roommate who was wearing a gray robe, was slightly taller, and looked amiable. He was probably one of the two people who broke through to the martial arts level on the same day as Xiong Lei and were from another martial arts training ground. The last person was actually Qian Wende!

"This Qian Wende has actually broken through to the level of a formal warrior?" Zhuang Jin looked at him deeply, and suddenly recalled some details that he had overlooked a few days ago.

"After the beggar incident, Qian Wende distanced himself from Xiong Lei and me, and stopped sharing our secret cooking news with Xiong Lei. At the time, I simply thought that he saw that I was involved in the incident and that our small group was no longer worth currying favor with. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that by then, Qian Wende had already gained some understanding of controlling Qi and blood, realized his own qualifications, and had a high opinion of himself, and this was also the reason."

In addition, why didn't Qian Wende tell Ping Yongfeng after controlling his qi and blood like Xiang Qichen and Xiong Lei?

This was his own fault. On the first day, he was so shameless as to ask for more Kailuo Soup and was almost kicked out. Later, Ping Yongfeng somehow found out about this. One day, he saw Qian Wende practicing the standing meditation incorrectly and scolded him, saying, "You are such a person, yet you dare to act so recklessly and take more than you want." Qian Wende was so scared that his face turned pale. Knowing that Ping Yongfeng had a grudge against him, it was no wonder that he didn't dare to speak up after completing the first step of controlling the Qi and blood.

Xiong Lei introduced them to Zhuang Jin one by one: "This is Xiang Qichen, Brother Xiang. You also know Jinzi, he broke through in fourteen days, the first among our group of martial artists. This is Lin Hong, who broke through on the same day as me. There was another one who broke through on the same day as me, his name is Jiao Kun, but he went out and is not here. Finally, you also know this Jinzi, Dezi, he also told us a lot of news about the special training."

When Qian Wende heard Xiong Lei introduce himself, he said with some pride: "Today I was practicing the standing meditation, and while practicing, I suddenly had a breakthrough. I originally thought I would have to wait two days!"

Zhuang Jin greeted everyone one by one and was about to spread out the bedding when he saw that there were already beddings spread out on the bed where he had originally placed his beddings, but they were obviously not his. He turned his eyes and found that his beddings had been moved to the lower bunk of the bed near the door.

Qian Wende saw Zhuang Jin's eyes scanning him, and came over with an apologetic smile, saying, "Brother Zhuang, I'm fat and it's not convenient for me to get up and down from the upper bunk. I'm also afraid of the cold, so it's not convenient for me to sleep on the lower bunk at the door. I'd like to discuss with you about changing bunks." As mentioned before, there are eight bunks in this dormitory, and Xiang Qichen and others have occupied four of them. There are two beds and four bunks left, and one bed is at the door. Now that the weather is getting cooler, it is inevitable to be exposed to cold wind when opening and closing doors. Zhuang Jin's bedding was previously placed on the lower bunk of another bed. It was the best of the remaining four bunks, and now Qian Wende has put his bedding on the lower bunk of the bed at the door.

"Just move my bedding over and lay yours out. Is that a negotiation? You're the one who, on your first day here, eats a lot of Kailuo Soup!"

Zhuang Jin was so angry that he laughed and looked at Qian Wende: "You said you wanted to discuss it with me, right? Okay, my answer is no."

As he spoke, he rolled up Qian Wende's bedding and threw it on the lower bunk near the door, and moved his own bedding over.

Zhuang Jin didn't really want to argue about a berth, but Qian Wende was obviously treating him like a fool!

Through all the previous incidents, he had long seen through this person's true nature: shameless, opportunistic, and lacking any moral compass. Even if he agreed to the bunk swap, Qian Wende wouldn't take it seriously. Instead, he would label him "easy to talk to," pushing him further and further, pushing his limits bit by bit, hoping to gain even more advantage.

Rather than being pushed to the bottom line and unable to tolerate it anymore, and then breaking up, it is better to establish an image that is not easy to mess with from the beginning, letting Qian Wende know that this trick is not used on him, and he will use the same trick on someone else.

As soon as Zhuang Jin said this angrily, the atmosphere in the dormitory suddenly became tense.

"We're all in the same dorm, so living together is fate." Xiang Qichen frowned and, acting like the dorm's elder brother, tried to mediate: "Dezi is at fault in this matter. Even if you want to change beds, you should have told me first."

There are no rules for dormitory berths. Whoever comes first and occupies the berth first gets it. Zhuang Jin put the bedding on that berth, which obviously means he occupied it. Qian Wende got on the bus first and bought the ticket later. He changed the berth without Zhuang Jin's consent, which is indeed not right.

"Yes, it's my fault, it's my fault!" Qian Wende's face stiffened for a moment, but he quickly smiled again and admitted his mistake.

"Jinzi, you too. A bunk is not a big deal. Why do you have to be so petty and speak so angrily?" Xiang Qichen criticized Qian Wende and then came over to talk about Zhuang Jin.

Compared to Qian Wende who immediately admitted his mistake, Zhuang Jin just looked up at Xiang Qichen when he heard this, as if to say, "Since sharing a bunk is no big deal, why don't you switch with Qian Wende?" However, he didn't say this, and then he lowered his head and continued to spread his bedding.

This silent response, which was more powerful than words, immediately made Xiang Qichen stand there in embarrassment.
