Cultivation Shura Field

Xu Guowei paused while tying his apron: "What do you mean?"

Xu Zhe: "You asked me if I have done it, then I can only say, Tathagata. Have you really done it? Tathagata. Has it come? Tathagata."

His tone was quite profound, as if every word contained the truth of the world.

Zeng Jing and Xu Guowei certainly had no way of understanding what their son was saying. They just looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

I am really worried about my son's mental state...

Xu Guowei decisively said to his wife: "Well, I'll prepare the food, and you give him the game console so he can have fun!"

Xu Zhe: “?”

He didn't realize what his parents were imagining. He just felt that he had indeed solved the most difficult problem, but the way he solved it might not meet the requirements.

Then the next moment a PSP was forced into my hand.

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I don't have any interest now..."

Xu Guowei and Zeng Jing said in unison: "Play! Let me play!"

Chapter 64 Silence

2023-09-06

After dinner, Xu Zhe returned to his bedroom. But just as he sat down at the desk, his mother pulled him up again.

"Feifei came to play with you just now, but she was taken back by her father to eat. Now, she should have almost finished eating, so go and play with her. Don't sit here and study all day, it's not good for your health..."

Just like that, Xu Zhe was kicked out of the house by his biological mother.

He arrived at Tang Lingfei's door and was about to ring the doorbell when he heard a slightly high-pitched female voice from inside.

"…The teacher said you didn't listen carefully! You were distracted in class at school and in tutoring class. Why can't you study hard? Are you studying for me?"

That was Tang Lingfei's mother.

Xu Zhe sighed, turned and left.

It's obviously not suitable to disturb you at this time.

He walked out of the community alone, strolling aimlessly, and gradually came to the vicinity of the school. At this time, he suddenly remembered a certain entertainment project, so he walked towards the billiard hall.

Walking into the billiard room, Xu Zhe subconsciously looked towards the counter, but did not see Shen Lan.

The man sitting in the billiard room tonight was a long-haired man. His hair was longer than Shen Lan's, but he had an indescribable masculine temperament and was not effeminate at all.

If you look a little closer, you can see that the man has visible wrinkles on his face. He is obviously not young, but there is still an indescribable elegance between his eyebrows - which makes people think of Chen Haonan in the movie.

He raised his head and glanced at it, saying, "Little brother playing alone?"

Xu Zhe nodded: "Please open a table for me. By the way, I want to ask, are you the boss here?"

The man smiled and said, "Yes, I'm the boss, what's the problem?"

Xu Zhe: “It’s okay.”

The lights on the table were turned on. The man stood up, put the balls in place, and took out a cigarette from his pocket. When he returned to the counter, he had already lit the cigarette and was holding it in his mouth.

Xu Zhe withdrew his gaze, picked up a club, and began to play golf silently.

If Shen Lan was here, she would definitely promote her private coaching courses. But after observing, Xu Zhe felt that he didn't need her guidance for the time being. Now he had to continue to improve his skills, just practice more and practice accuracy.

Xu Zhe teeed off himself, his second shot missed, but with his third shot he sent a colored ball into the hole.

The crisp sound of the colored ball entering the hole made Xu Zhe feel refreshed, just like killing an elite monster in a game.

----

The next day, which was Sunday morning, the students from the competition group came to the classroom again.

After collecting everyone's homework from yesterday, Teacher Lu quickly finished marking it. Then, she glanced at Xu Zhe with a somewhat conflicted expression.

But she didn't talk about the tangled point right away. Instead, she started from the first question and explained the first three questions in yesterday's homework. Then it was the fourth question...

"It's time to talk about the last question from yesterday. No one answered this question well enough. Other students didn't answer it, but Xu Zhe, you!"

Having said this, Teacher Lu paused.

The eyes of everyone around were focused on Xu Zhe.

Xu Zhe felt a little guilty: "What I did...didn't meet the requirements?"

Teacher Lu: "This is junior high school mathematics competition, we are not allowed to use calculus!"

After the words were spoken, the classroom fell silent.

Outside the window, the wind blew through the branches of the trees on campus, leaving behind a slight rustling of leaves. The sunlight poured in through the glass, dimming the light tubes on the ceiling.

The old teacher's thick glasses reflected the stunned faces of the other seniors.

Xu Zhe scratched the back of his head: "Uh, sorry..."

Teacher Lu suddenly laughed: "You are only in the first grade. Where did you learn calculus? Did you teach yourself?"

Of course Xu Zhe could only say: "Yes, self-taught."

Teacher Lu: "You are really amazing! Don't be nervous, I am praising you. But you have to understand that for this competition we signed up for, we really can't use a method that goes beyond the syllabus, understand?"

Xu Zhe: "I understand, teacher."

Teacher Lu smiled and said, "Sit down and listen carefully to the class with everyone. It's not a bad thing to learn a lot in advance, but don't be proud and complacent. You must listen carefully to understand the thinking behind the Olympiad questions."

----

Near noon, Mr. Lu assigned homework and announced the end of get out of class. Because the next class is next Saturday, the homework this time will be more - three small test papers made by Mr. Lu, with twelve questions.

As soon as the old teacher left, the students also packed up and prepared to leave. At this moment, Xu Zhe noticed a figure in front of him.

When I looked up, it was Shen Lan.

The short-haired senior student looked curious: "When did you teach yourself calculus?"

Xu Zhe found a universal time period: "Last summer vacation."

Shen Lan: "Why do you want to learn this?"

Xu Zhe casually made up a story: "I like to read books in bookstores. I found some introductory books on advanced mathematics and read them there for free."

Shen Lan: "Most people go to bookstores to read either novels or comics, right?"

Xu Zhe was about to speak, but at this moment, another figure appeared next to him.

Wei Junkun tried to interrupt: "That's a good idea. Shen Lan, do you want to go to the bookstore next time and try to learn calculus on your own?"

Shen Lan frowned slightly and asked, "There's no exam, and I don't even need to do Mathematical Olympiad, so why should I learn calculus?"

Wei Junkun subconsciously pointed at Xu Zhe and said, "Didn't he learn it too?"

Xu Zhe: "I just do it out of pure interest."

Wei Junkun showed a skeptical look: "Interest? I can believe you are interested in general mathematics, but calculus, that is university knowledge!"

Xu Zhe: “So?”

So you are just pretending - Wei Junkun wanted to say this, but facing the gazes of the two people in front of him, he couldn't open his mouth.

After a moment's silence, he could only say "Forget it, I'll go first" and turn away.

At this time, only Shen Lan and Xu Zhe were left in the classroom.

Xu Zhe stood up and said, "By the way, does this classroom need to be locked or something?"

Shen Lan: "Just close the door."

The two left the classroom, closed the door, and walked out of the teaching building.

When they arrived at the school gate, Shen Lan suddenly asked, "Are there many things you are interested in?"

Xu Zhe turned his head and looked at her: "Indeed, it can be said that he has a wide range of interests and hobbies. Anyway, they are quite diverse."

Shen Lan blinked and smiled like a little fox: "Are you still interested in billiards? Do you want to practice?"

Xu Zhe: "If you want to make money from me, just tell me."

"Hahaha……"

The senior student’s laughter was as hearty as a boy’s, but also as clear and pleasant as a girl’s, like a shell wind chime under a clear sky.

After laughing, she asked, "So are you going or not?"

Xu Zhe: "Yes, but I don't really need you to be my coach. I can practice on my own."

The four characters are all out, if you are interested you can take a look and make a heart or something...

Chapter 65: Flowers among thorns

2023-09-06

Xu Zhe has been to this billiard hall several times, but this is the first time he comes with Shen Lan.

The shop owner, a middle-aged man with long hair, was guarding the counter. But he was obviously not competent at his job because he fell asleep on the table.

Shen Lan did not wake her father up, but went around to the counter, opened a pool table, and then came out.

Xu Zhe and she each picked up a club and started playing.

However, the process of playing ball is quite speechless...

"I know that if you take it a little more seriously, I won't have any fun. But aren't you going a little too far?"

The reason why Xu Zhe complained like this was because Shen Lan gently closed her eyes every time she made a shot - she was truly "playing with you with eyes closed".

In this way, he gained some advantages, but unfortunately he had no sense of accomplishment at all.

Shen Lan smiled, and when she was about to say something, another voice sounded behind her:

"What they said is right. It's outrageous to play like this. If you ask me, you shouldn't fight with people who are much lower than you. Do you think it's fun to bully the little brother here?"

The person who spoke was the long-haired man who was sleeping just now, the owner of the billiard hall. He had already walked to the side of the billiard table with a teasing smile on his face.

Shen Lan glanced at him and said, "Dad, he's not some little brother. He's my classmate in the Olympic team."

The man was slightly surprised: "Really? He looks younger than you."

Shen Lan: "Because he's very smart. Although he's younger than me, he can study Mathematical Olympiad with us. And even when playing billiards, Xu Zhexue learns very quickly. Now I can still play with him with my eyes closed. Let him practice more. Maybe I'll have to take it more seriously."

The man smoothed his hair and turned to stand in front of Xu Zhe.

"She has been arrogant since she was young. I have hardly ever seen her praise anyone, let alone classmates... Little brother, you are really awesome."

This tone seems to have some deep meaning?

Xu Zhe: "Are you Shen Lan's father?"

"Yes, you guys can enjoy it. Shen Lan, I'll leave the store to you. I'm going to be out for a while."

The girl snorted.

The man patted the edge of the pool table and strode out.

Before Shen Lan's father came over to talk, Xu Zhe had played the last shot, but the ball didn't go in, so this shot was Shen Lan's turn. But she was standing there holding the cue, her eyes fixed on the pool table, but she obviously had no intention of taking action.

She seemed to be thinking about something, lost in thought.

Xu Zhe said, "Your father is quite cool."

Shen Lan sneered and said, "Divorced men are cool and carefree."

Xu Zhe: "..."

It seems that it is difficult to respond to the other party's words.

Shen Lan seemed to finally remember that they were playing golf, so she leaned down, took aim, and hit the ball. The green No. 6 ball fell crisply into the hole.

Xu Zhe: "It sounds like there are a lot of stories here. Can you tell me about it?"
