High Martial Arts: Starting from the Strongest Junior High Student

The four people who got off the bus wandered around the city, looking for a place to eat some noodles for a late-night snack.

Surrounded by warm-toned lights, Chen Shi watched the laughing figures coming and going around him, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. He liked this place, perhaps because there was snow here. Light snowflakes would fall from the sky, but they would melt quickly, so there was also warmth here.

He overheard people talking about the governor's birthday, because the governor had given the entire province a seven-day holiday for his birthday.

For this barren land, this is an incredibly impressive figure.

Just then, everyone heard the sound of a piano and walked over out of curiosity. They saw that not only was someone playing the piano, but also accordions and other instruments. The performers wore top hats and, despite having little formal education, exuded dignity under the expectant gazes of the people.

At this moment, a beautiful street photographer saw Chen Shi and his group, greeted them warmly, and asked if he could take a picture.

What she really wanted to photograph was Zhang Xuexin, because she said that the girl had a unique temperament.

Chen Shi, who doesn't particularly enjoy socializing, felt at ease here. Everyone seemed to be a kind, warm, and welcoming person.

Because of his good mood, the second drinking session naturally began in a small bar.

This was the first time Chen Shi had experienced the beauty of life, without having to get up and run to the training palace the moment he opened his eyes, and then stare at a long string of proficiency numbers to see if they had increased.

Finally, everyone chatted until after midnight. Chen Shi was drunk and made a phone call to his master in a daze. He forgot what he said, only that he no longer called him master, but "Master" instead. Then Liu Jiawang reappeared and took the four of them back to the summit of the snow mountain.

……

The next day, Chen Shi woke up at 11 a.m. He was startled awake and then called Xue Xin.

Xuexin had just come out of the palace and said lazily, "Master's wife is calling us to have lunch. Why don't you take a bath and change your clothes? Do you want me to help you?"

"Okay." Chen Shi nodded with a smile.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly. Yesterday's banquet had been replaced with a new one, and everyone was still sleepy-eyed. Many seats were still empty, probably because everyone was still sleeping. For example, Wang Xueyou, Shi Yuan, and even Qin Lian were still sleeping. I heard that after I left last night, they went back to drinking with Xie Xijun and the others.

And Master Di Yun was still asleep.

The master's wife had woken up. She sat beside Chen Shi, drinking her porridge, and asked him, "Do you know what you said to your master yesterday?"

Chen Shi quickly shook his head and said, "I don't remember."

"Hahahaha..." The master's wife couldn't help but burst into laughter, and the laughter continued.

This sent chills down Chen Shi's spine. He stammered, "I...I...what did I say?"

Beside her, Zhang Xuexin pursed her lips and whispered, "You call Master 'Dad' and say that you'll be my dad from now on, and I'll acknowledge you as my dad from now on."

"What?" Chen Shih-hu jumped up, completely at a loss, utterly panicked.

"Didn't you stop me?"

Zhang Xuexin's eyes widened. "You really forgot?" she asked.

"Senior brother, I told you to drink less, but you said no, you're going to fight Jacky Cheung to the death today."

"After Jacky Cheung collapsed, you still grabbed Yuan Ge and asked him if he was still a senior and if he could still drink!"

"And then you got Shi Yuan drunk!"

"I even drank over a dozen glasses for you!"

Chen Shi looked blank and asked, "Really?"

Did I say that?

The teacher's wife, standing to the side, laughed so hard she almost fell over, thinking to herself that the child had really grown up.

Then she said, "Your master cried after hanging up the phone with you yesterday."

"What?" Chen Shi was taken aback.

At this moment, Di Yun, sporting an afro and rubbing his head, walked out and said, "Huh?"

"Wan'er, don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't!"

"What a load of nonsense."

Chen Wan'er smiled broadly and said, "Okay, okay, no, no."

At that moment, a voice, both authoritative and approachable, came from afar.

"Wan'er, what's making you so happy?"

Chen Wan'er turned around abruptly, and everyone in the room followed suit, only to see five people stepping across the threshold and walking in.

An elderly woman, with no white hair and a smiling face, dressed in a bright red robe and adorned with a gold hairpin, exuded wealth and power, instantly sobering Chen Shi up. This must be the legendary woman in red.

Walking beside her was a white-haired man, a refined gentleman with a friendly smile and no wrinkles on his face. He was so handsome that he looked like he had stepped out of an animated film.

Standing behind her was a woman, expressionless and beautiful, but with a faint chill in her eyes, giving off an aloof and unapproachable air. This was Zhou Ruo.

Behind them were two clearly young people, both dressed in modern clothes. The man was calm and made no unnecessary movements, while the woman's eyes were full of arrogance, and her fox-like eyes were quite distinctive.

Chen Wan'er quickly stood up. In the huge bamboo building, many guest rooms were also pushed open. Meng Yuan, Fang Wenbin, Lin Zhong and other powerful figures all looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Then, in the main building directly above, Di Tianzheng, having tidied his appearance, pushed open the door and leaned against the railing, saying casually, "So early?"

Standing in the center of the first floor of the bamboo building, the woman in red smiled and said, "Since I have some free time, I'd like to visit my disciples and their descendants."

After speaking, her gaze fell on Chen Wan'er, and her aura instantly became oppressive. Chen Wan'er lowered her head and cupped her hands, saying, "Master."

The woman in red glanced at the card room next door and said, "Let's go."

From beginning to end, she didn't glance at Chen Shi and Zhang Xuexin twice. She called Chen Wan'er and all the women from the Women's Academy present and walked into the chess and card room, including the two women standing behind her, Zhou Ruo and Mu Yuan, a new generation member of the Women's Academy.

Xiahou Dongjun did not follow, but sat down at Chen Shi's table with his disciple Jiang Cheng.

Di Yun sat in the middle eating until Di Tianzheng came downstairs, at which point he waved his hand and said, "Go play somewhere else."

Di Yun snorted coldly and looked at Chen Shi and Xue Xin, saying, "Let's go."

The two stood up, leaving only Xiahou Dongjun, his apprentice, and Di Tianzheng at the table.

"How's your injury?" Di Tianzheng asked, turning around.

Xiahou Dongjun said calmly, "That's about enough."

"Enough with the nonsense, which side are you on?" Di Tianzheng asked indifferently.

Xiahou Dongjun glanced to the side and said, "Wherever she stands, I'll stand."

Di Tianzheng lowered his head and snorted, "In terms of age, I should call you 'brother.' She's younger than me. You're going to listen to her? What kind of talk is that!"

Xiahou Dongjun smiled and said, "My cultivation has not improved for decades, and I have long been overtaken by others. It is a good thing to have someone to rely on."

"I really don't understand you." Di Tianzheng shook his head.
