Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Hua Li turned her head away. Of course she understood the reason, but it was not enough to just talk about it in this matter.

"Okay, okay." Su Ruoli shook her head gently at the two of them, indicating that there was no need to rush the matter and that she needed to wait until she could figure it out.

"Come sleep with me tonight." Su Ruoli patted Hua Li's back and comforted him, "Don't think too much now, let's eat."

With Su Ruoli playing the good guy, Hua Li was able to save face and continue to feast on his meal.

This girl doesn't seem to have such a fragile personality. What happened in Hua Li's family that could make her escape like this?

Bai Yu was a little curious, but he suppressed his curiosity for the time being and started eating, but soon he felt someone stepping on his foot.

I didn't dare to look down, but I didn't know who it belonged to.

The expressions of the three people at the dinner table were normal.

He tried to pull back, but the other party used even more force.

Bai Yu: “Hiss——”

"What's wrong with you?" Hua Li tilted his head.

"Biting my tongue."

"When you're greedy, bite your tongue; when you're hungry, bite your cheek." Hua Li said, and then he hissed.

"what happened to you?"

"It bit my cheek."

Bai Yu still felt that the calf was stepping on him and he couldn't let go. He suddenly couldn't even concentrate on eating. He deliberately threw away one of the chopsticks, then dived down as fast as he could to look over.

The three pairs of legs were steady as if nothing had happened.

Bai Yu picked up the chopsticks, looking thoughtful, but suddenly his body stiffened and he was stepped on again!

...It's not over yet, right!

This meal was very painful and Bai Yu dropped his chopsticks three times in a row.

The fourth time, Hua Li directly exposed the trick and asked, "Whose legs are better looking?"

"Myself." Bai Yu didn't pretend to be ashamed or angry. Instead, he said disdainfully, "There's no hair at all, what kind of legs are they!"

Su Ruoli and Qin Xuezao ignored it and continued eating. They didn't care much about being peeped at. After all, it was just legs. They were not ancient people. Who would go out in summer without wearing sandals?

After dinner, it was Su Ruoli's turn to wash the dishes, and Qin Xue went out to throw out the trash and buy used daily necessities.

Bai Yu and Hua Li were staring at each other in the living room.

"What are you?"

"What do you look at?"

"Try another one?"

"What's wrong with you? If you don't accept it, just fight me." Hua Li's tone was very firm, but there was also a hint of pleading in his firmness.

Bai Yu took out his phone and started sending voice messages: "Classmates, who understands... This is the first time in my life that I've heard such a strange request."

Hua Li rushed over and snatched the phone away, but found that it was not what he thought. He threw the phone back and said angrily: "What a stingy man! What's wrong with giving me a few more beatings? I can pay for it!"

"You're really good at paying for a beating." Bai Yu stretched lazily, "But I don't have that kind of habit."

It is enough to verify that the guaranteed rule is being gradually mastered and enhanced.

Nothing else is needed.

He has no intention of establishing himself as a national treasure-level master of enlightenment.

Moreover, although not everyone in this world possesses mystery, it is not so rare that it is rare in the world.

Although superpowers at the level of causality are extremely rare, the other party doesn't know that simply being consecrated is not enough to cause a sensation.

After all, he is only at the first level of the Extraordinary Realm...If one day he could give someone a chance to break through to the fifth level with a beating, then people all over the world who would like him to beat them up would line up from their doorsteps to the Erxian Bridge on Chenghua Avenue. After the beating, the other party would have to thank him and say "You are a nice person", and even give him money. He would then become a man who makes a living by beating people.

Hey!

This style of painting is too weird. The guaranteed minimum rule has so many uses, but why does it have to go down this road of no return?

Seeing Bai Yu's strange expression, Hua Li began to sell his own theory.

"To teach tirelessly by beating others, isn't that the way to be a teacher?"

"This is the way of the saints, why not follow it?"

"You only need to beat up three thousand people and turn them into your disciples, and you can become a saint right there!"

Bai Yu slashed her head with a knife: "Apologize to Confucius and his three thousand disciples!"

Hua Li covered his head and refused to change his words: "I'm not talking nonsense! Many disciples in history were convinced by Confucius's beatings! This is also a kind of teaching without distinction! After all, all beings are equal under fists and feet!"

Bai Yu couldn't help but feel angry and amused when he saw the other party's crazy and stubborn attitude.

"Whatever..." He put his hand on his forehead and said, "It's not like I can't help you."

"Really?"

"But the premise is that you have to be honest and lenient." Bai Yu raised his eyebrows: "Tell me, why did you run away from home, and don't you feel ashamed that the daughter of a dignified and wealthy family has gotten to this point?"

"This has nothing to do with being a rich girl." Hua Li sat on the sofa and hugged her right knee. "I'm just being pressured by my family to become extraordinary quickly, and I'm feeling very irritated."

"A lie," Bai Yu said, "Your fear of being beaten is more truthful than it actually is, but in reality..."

He pointed at the other person's legs and feet as they walked around the street: "You don't see many bruises on your body. You don't look like you've been abused at all."

"No, there's clearly a piece here..."

"I hit him." Bai Yu said expressionlessly.

"is it?"

"Yes." He was very sure.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Hua Li stuck out his tongue: "Hey~"

"You can try to fool me if you want." Bai Yu stood up. "But I suggest you think carefully about when to confess and when I'll help you. And...if you can't even cross this threshold, no matter how much I help you, you won't be able to enter the extraordinary realm."

Hua Li raised his head and said, "But you have helped other people before, and they became extraordinary easily."

"Is it easy?" Bai Yu asked back, "How is it easy? We've all studied diligently since childhood, and began practicing before our talents became clear. Everyone strives to become extraordinary, and we've been preparing for this for over a decade. Only now have we reached this point. How can it be 'easy' in your eyes? Or, if you don't think this way, would you think you have no possibility of becoming extraordinary, and don't have the qualifications for it?"

He couldn't help but put himself into the situation. He had fought very hard to break through, so the difficulty was self-evident.

Hua Li didn't know how to refute.

Bai Yu waved his hand: "That's all for today. Have a good rest. If you ever want to talk about it... come back to me after you've thought it over."

Hua Li looked at the other person's back and the closed door, his mouth drooping, and he closed his eyes in frustration: "Extraordinary...what's so good about it."

Chapter 196 Ambivalence

The next day.

When Bai Yu woke up, there was already a new guest in the guest room.

The door was open, and six bodyguards in black clothes, wearing sunglasses and headsets stood in the corridor outside.

In the living room, a man in a Tang suit was sitting in the guest seat. His hair was combed to the top of his head and was gray. He looked to be at least fifty years old, but he had a calm demeanor. Even without any gold or silver ornaments on his body, one could tell at a glance that he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time.

The person responsible for entertaining this middle-aged man was Qin Xuezao.

At this time, Su Ruoli and Hua Li were not awake.

Bai Yu walked into the bathroom, washed up simply, filled a bowl of rice porridge, and sat down.

His attitude was very casual. After all, it was his own home and the other party was a guest, so naturally the guest should follow the host's wishes.

"Would you like to eat something?" Bai Yu looked at the middle-aged man.

"No need, he's already eaten." Qin Xuezao said casually, "Besides, I only made breakfast for four people."

The middle-aged man's expression revealed a hint of helplessness. He shook his head and said, "It's been so many years, and you're still holding on to it."

"I'm not stingy, but I do hold grudges." Qin Xuezao narrowed his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man. "Seven years have passed since the contract was signed. It's not logical for me to continue accepting your funding. Besides, I really don't like others to trip me up in the terms."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Although there were problems with the original terms, they were ultimately not implemented. After all, you had already lost consciousness before that."

Qin Xuezao said coldly, "I was preparing a knife to stab you, but I didn't have time to do it. Please forgive me—is this what you mean?"

"There are problems with the clause, but they are not as serious as you think. They are just countermeasures when necessary."

"Sweet words, but treacherous hearts are the hallmarks of businessmen like you." Qin Xuezao's expression was cold. "I won't sign a contract with you, and neither will anyone here—and I'm warning you, if you dare to covet my Yujing, you'll need to be prepared to face an enemy of a fifth-level transcendent in the future."

The middle-aged man glanced at Bai Yu, then looked away. The expression of the other party, a tigress protecting her cub, was not fake.

"Well, actually, meeting you here is unexpected. I didn't come here specifically to see you."

"I got the news that my daughter should be in this house."

When Qin Xuezao heard this, he thought of the girl from yesterday and asked casually, "Hua Li?"

"You heard her name, and you should have realized the relationship between us."

"Hua Tianming, you are almost sixty years old. How could she be your daughter?" Qin Xuezhao's face was full of disbelief.

"It's nothing special to have a daughter in old age. My wife gave birth to a daughter when she was 39 years old." Hua Tianming explained calmly. He had five children in total. The eldest died young, and the other four children were three sons and only one daughter. Over-pampering the youngest child is the norm in every large family.

Qin Xuezao was completely uninterested in his family background. "So you're here to pick up your runaway daughter. This matter has nothing to do with me. I just need to ask her opinion. If she doesn't want to go back, you can't force her... After all, this is my residence."

Bai Yu drank some rice porridge and watched the show silently, while complaining in his heart that this house is clearly in my name, so how come you are more like the head of the family than me.

He said to Qin Xuezao, "Can you go call her?"

"Okay." Qin Xuezao stood up, then bent down and whispered something close to Bai Yu's ear, his breath blowing into his ear: "Don't agree to all the requests of this black-hearted businessman."

Hua Tianming: "I heard it."

"I said that on purpose for you to hear."

boom!

The bedroom door opened and closed.

Bai Yu thought they should have woken up, but he was just looking for an excuse to send Hua Tianming away.

"Hua Li probably doesn't want to go back." He said, "Is your family very strict?"

Hua Tianming sighed with a headache: "Of course not, I don't make any requirements for this child, let her like whatever she wants, but..."

"only?"

"Who would have thought that she also had the talent of a transcendent?" Hua Tianming's tone was also quite surprised: "In our family, the talents of most of the family members are white or blue level, but Xiaoli has a yellow level talent."

"It's not impossible to cultivate ordinary blue talents." Bai Yu said while chewing on a fried dough stick.

"But it's very difficult for holders of blue talents to break through the bottleneck, while yellow-level talents are expected to reach the third level of transcendence within twenty years." Hua Tianming clenched his fingers: "But this kind of talent is truly one in a hundred."

Bai Yu asked back, "Is there?"

There are quite a few yellow talents in the school, at least five or six in each class, and one or two purple ones.

Hua Tianming said: "Those of you who can reach the third year of high school are already one in a hundred."

Bai Yu asked again, "Is a Level 3 Transcendent within 20 years important to the Hua family?"

Hua Tianming did not answer this question, but just said: "Do you know the Ruan family?"

"...Ruan Qingxue is my classmate, and I also know Ruan Qingshan."

"The Ruan family was previously a successful business family, but they didn't have any extraordinary people of their own... Although they had some connections and supported a few powerful priests, they were ultimately wiped out overnight." Hua Tianming drummed his fingers on the table. "For ordinary people, high-level extraordinary people are an important way to cross the social ladder. For families like us with some wealth and many members, it is also a necessary guarantee. It must be a blood relationship with relatives; outsiders are unreliable."

"Although we invest in some talented individuals facing financial difficulties every year to plan for the future, as you can see, this kind of mutual benefit ultimately amounts to little more than a favor for high-level transcendents."

"If you hadn't left a textual trap in the treaty, Xue Zao wouldn't be so indignant. After all, she hates betrayers the most." Bai Yu touched his brow. "Is it because of the Ruan family's downfall that you feel a sense of crisis? That's why you put pressure on Hua Li, the only one who could possibly reach the third level of transcendence, which led to her staying out all night."

Hua Tianming said slowly, "Of course we wanted to take it slow. The last Shadow World incident also sounded a wake-up call for us... But for the past two months, she's been the same as always, completely unwilling to practice diligently. Seeing that the college entrance examination is approaching, her family set a goal for her. Perhaps it's a bit excessive, but we all..."

"Is it for her own good?" Bai Yu asked with a sharp gaze, "Or is it for your own good?"

Hua Tianming's expression changed slightly: "This is..."

"This is our family matter, and there is no need for you outsiders to interfere." Bai Yu predicted in advance.

"..."
