The villains are redeemed, and the heroines cry and beg for forgiveness.

This girl seems quite clever, but she turns out to be a perfectionist with a vivid imagination?

There was a reason why Cheng Caimeng invited Gu Ran to join her martial arts school and made this guess.

Although she seemed focused on thinking and not paying attention to the road just now, her senses made it impossible for her to bump into anything. Whether it was a pillar or a real person in front of her, she would automatically avoid it.

But she almost bumped into Gu Ran!

She had absolutely no concept of Gu Ran!

There are only two possibilities for this situation:

First, Gu Ran is an unparalleled genius who is very suitable for practicing the martial arts techniques of their martial arts school;

Secondly, Gu Ran is already a highly accomplished martial artist, perhaps even surpassing the Qi Condensation stage... a martial arts grandmaster.

Having swum out of the sea for so long and run on land for so long, Gu Ran's clothes and pants were already tattered. In addition, he appeared in the slums and looked completely integrated into the local customs and culture. Therefore, Cheng Caimeng mistakenly thought that Gu Ran was a resident of the Canglong City slums.

This is why Cheng Caimeng initially tried so hard to invite Gu Ran to join the Niyuan Martial Arts Academy, because she thought Gu Ran was a resident of the slums who desperately needed to change his fate but had not yet discovered his talent.

However, Gu Ran refused her invitation. You should know that she had just specifically pointed out that Ni Yuan Martial Arts Hall was one of the earliest martial arts halls established in Canglong City, which was practically saying that Ni Yuan Martial Arts Hall had "special recruitment qualifications".

While people from the slums can rise through the ranks to become residents of the inner city through military merit, this path is extremely risky and usually takes a long time. If someone is a genius, there is a risk of premature death, which would be a great loss.

Therefore, a very small number of martial arts schools have "special recruitment qualifications," and each year they have a specific number of places that can directly recruit disciples from the slums to become official disciples of their own sect, exempting them from the military merit promotion process.

This is a privilege enjoyed by only a very few martial arts dojos, and it is undoubtedly extremely attractive to ordinary families in poor neighborhoods.

As long as one member of their family is admitted through special admission, their immediate family members can be directly promoted to inner city residents, and they will no longer have to face the dangerous beast tides.

Almost all residents of the slums knew about this privilege, and they all fantasized that their families could produce a "specially recruited" genius.

That's why when Gu Ran rejected Cheng Caimeng, she immediately changed her mind. She no longer thought of Gu Ran as a peerless genius whose talent had not yet been discovered, but instead believed that he was a highly skilled master who liked to play dumb to deceive others.

Gu Ran only had a superficial understanding of Canglong City from books, and he didn't know much about this special recruitment authority or Cheng Caimeng's judgment. Therefore, he found Cheng Caimeng's invitation completely inexplicable and became more wary.

"Excuse me, is there anything else?" Gu Ran asked, taking a small step to indicate that if there was nothing else, he would leave.

He didn't have that kind of excessive curiosity. In a place where he was unfamiliar with everyone, a boy should learn to protect himself and not give bad women an opportunity to take advantage of him.

Because of the other party's initial "throwing themselves into his arms," ​​Gu Ran was actually quite suspicious that it was a honey trap. However, he looked at his current location and realized that it was broad daylight, not the best time and place for a honey trap. In addition, Canglong City was known for its good public security, so after thinking about it, he ruled out this guess.

Anyway, I'll just stay away from these inexplicably beautiful women.

"Sister, you're back!?"

Gu Ran looked over and found that it was indeed the girl he had glanced at a few times earlier.

"Sister, is this the specially recruited genius you went to find?" Cheng Youmeng looked at Gu Ran with suspicion, a hint of hostility in her eyes. "This is clearly a martial arts waste with no spiritual energy fluctuations at all. I told you long ago, there's no need to look for any more specially recruited geniuses. The martial arts gym has me, that's enough."

Gu Ran was somewhat baffled. Why was this little girl showing hostility towards him? All he had done was glance at her a couple of times. Besides, he hadn't had any romantic intentions; he had just been too eye-catching, and his gaze had unconsciously lingered on her for a couple of seconds longer. Was that all that had been noticed and misunderstood?

......

Outside the light screen.

Cheng Youmeng was suddenly filled with emotion as she watched this scene.

This is the moment they met. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember when I first met him, I mistakenly thought he was a specially recruited genius chosen by my sister, and said some very childish things like a little kid.

The other powerful figures were somewhat surprised to see Cheng Youmeng as a young girl. This seemingly unruly and spoiled girl was actually Cheng Youmeng.

This is nothing like the martial arts master Cheng Youmeng that they know now.

The current Cheng Youmeng, while not necessarily highly intelligent, is very calm and considerate. For example, when Gu Qingqing betrayed her, she promptly had the spatial interference device reactivated, rendering Gu Qingqing's spatial abilities ineffective for rescue.

The two people seem to have completely different styles of doing things.

Only Cheng Youmeng knows the immense price she paid to transform her personality into what it is today.

"So the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy has special recruitment qualifications. No wonder it suffers so much hostility. Its strength and power don't match." A powerful figure from Canglong City whispered among himself. "However, I remember that the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy hasn't used this special recruitment qualification in recent decades, so many people like me don't know that the Reverse Origin Martial Arts Academy has such power."

"I've heard of that. In fact, the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy has a target and wants to use this power, but the target it chooses is either intercepted or snatched away by other martial arts academies. Compared with other martial arts academies that still exist and have a long history, no genius would be interested in the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy, which has long been in decline."

Among the powerful figures from Canglong City present, some were focused on martial arts cultivation and didn't concern themselves with worldly affairs, so they weren't very familiar with the grudges between the Niyuan Martial Arts Academy and other martial arts academies.

However, some powerful individuals who enjoy gossip have a clear understanding of what happened at the Reverse Yuan Martial Arts Academy back then. It's not that powerful individuals dislike gossip, but rather that they dislike gossip about ordinary people. They are quite interested in gossip about people or forces of the same or higher level as them.

Cheng Youmeng didn't react to the whispers. She just looked at the screen, at the beautiful woman on the screen, the woman who had taken care of her for more than ten years.

“Sister, your judgment is indeed superior to many. Gu Ran is truly a martial arts genius rarely seen in the world. Even though his martial arts skills are now completely ruined, you still recognized his extraordinary talent. But your judgment in matters of the heart is terrible. Why would you fall for someone like him?” Cheng Youmeng thought to herself. “He doesn’t love you. His heart only belongs to that supreme power. Perhaps there is a place for the Sea Queen and his sister, but there is absolutely no place for you!”

As for her own feelings, Cheng Youmeng no longer cared about them; she only felt sorry for her sister and pitied her.

Her hands, which were holding the sword, trembled slightly.

......

In the light screen.

Cheng Youmeng's suspicion and hostility were obvious, and Gu Ran put on an unhappy expression and said, "You're crazy."

Then I started walking, ready to leave.

Cheng Youmeng's words gave Gu Ran an excuse to leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Ignoring him, she continued walking.

"Wait a moment, could you please wait a moment?"

Gu Ran suddenly realized that someone was tugging at his sleeve. He turned his head slightly and saw Cheng Caimeng looking at him with wide eyes, her bright eyes full of expectation and pleading.

“Sister, let him go, okay? Our martial arts academy doesn’t need such an arrogant person. Even if we force him to join our academy, he’ll probably be turned into a traitor by other martial arts academies,” Cheng Youmeng said with dissatisfaction.

"Cheng Youmeng!" Cheng Caimeng's voice finally carried a hint of anger. "Shut up! Go back and lock yourself in solitary confinement for 24 hours. You're not allowed to come out until then!"

Cheng Youmeng, who had been muttering, immediately shut her mouth in fear. When she heard her sister speak to her in that tone, she knew that her sister was really angry. If she continued to talk back, the punishment would be doubled.

However, Cheng Youmeng pouted in anger that her own sister was so protective of an outsider.

Gu Ran glanced at Cheng Youmeng, whose lips were pouting enough to hang a soy sauce bottle, and then at Cheng Caimeng, who was tugging at his sleeve to stop him from leaving. He really couldn't understand the situation.

What's going on with you sisters?

“My younger sister is still young and doesn’t understand things, so she misunderstood you. Please don’t take offense.” Cheng Caimeng saw that Gu Ran was no longer in a hurry to leave, so she let go of his sleeve. “Actually, I was just going to see someone else. My younger sister dislikes him, and she misunderstood that you were that person, so she spoke rudely. Actually, she’s not usually this impolite.”

It seemed like an explanation was being given to Gu Ran, but it was actually an explanation to Cheng Youmeng: "Why are you talking nonsense? This isn't the person you hate."

Cheng Youmeng was stunned when she heard her sister's words.

Isn't this the "specially recruited genius" that my sister went to see? Then why did she just retort and glare at him with hostility...?

Thinking of this, Cheng Youmeng's face flushed red, and her toes dug uncontrollably into the ground.

Seeing Cheng Youmeng's embarrassed expression, Gu Ran found it amusing.

"I apologize to you," Cheng Caimeng said to Gu Ran with a solemn expression.

Although the other party's verbal apology didn't seem very sincere, Gu Ran wasn't the kind of person who would hold a grudge. He knew that Cheng Youmeng had really misunderstood him and that's why she spoke rudely. He also saw her awkwardly picking her toes, so he forgave her in his heart.

"Alright, alright, I accept the apology. Shall I leave now?"

Gu Ran tried to take another step.

But as he expected, Cheng Caimeng quickly said, "I misunderstood you just now and didn't realize your strength."

"Now I formally invite you to join the Ni Yuan Martial Arts Academy and become its vice head."

?

Although Gu Ran had guessed that the other party was so lowly that they must have some ulterior motive, he really didn't expect that the other party's ulterior motive would be this.

First she wanted him to become a disciple of the martial arts academy, and now she wants him to become the vice head of the academy. What exactly does this woman see in him? What is her purpose?

Gu Ran felt a little confused for a moment.

115. Dragon Blood River! A strange sound! 4k

Upon hearing her sister's words, Cheng Youmeng's eyes suddenly turned incredulous.

What's wrong with my sister?

Why are you being so subservient to this person?

The guilt that had arisen from misunderstanding Gu Ran vanished without a trace.

Cheng Youmeng got angry again.

How could my sister be bullied like this?

Cheng Youmeng's burning gaze landed on Gu Ran again. Gu Ran tilted his head and saw the change in Cheng Youmeng's gaze, feeling speechless and puzzled.

She's small in stature but has a big temper... Oh, no, she's not exactly small anymore, I was almost fooled by her size.

Gu Ran shook his head and said, "I am not the expert you imagine. I am just an ordinary person. Your sister is right. I don't even have any martial arts talent. Please find someone else."

Although the name "Niyuan Martial Arts Hall" is nice and sounds pleasant, that's about it.

It's clear that, judging from the younger sister's angry slamming of the table and the older sister's absent-mindedness while walking, this martial arts dojo is in trouble, and it must be quite a big one.

My sister was even desperate and tried everything, trying to recruit anyone she met on the street into the martial arts dojo, without even knowing their background, just to make them her disciple or vice-master.

Gu Ran had no intention of getting involved. In any case, his purpose was simply to visit Canglong City and then head to Zhuque City immediately. He didn't want to delay his schedule.

Seeing Gu Ran's impatient look, Cheng Caimeng became a little anxious and secretly blamed herself for being so tongue-tied.
