Chapter 229 Ruan Liusu
After confirming that Chen Ye had added his granddaughter as a friend, Ruan Zhengzhi said to Chen Shijian, "Old Chen, I never expected that your grandson would be the martial arts champion of Dongchuan Province."
Your family is just average, yet your grandson has become the top martial arts champion in the province, which means his martial arts talent is even stronger than it appears on the surface.
My granddaughter has made rapid progress in martial arts in recent years. As you know, with her improved martial arts skills, her standards will inevitably rise. I thought the marriage between our families was out of the question, but who knew your grandson would be so successful.
As the top martial arts champion in a province, he is definitely qualified to be admitted to Starry Sky University, and the two of them can complement each other at Starry Sky University in the future.
"Don't worry, I'll go back and talk to my granddaughter, telling her to take this seriously and to make sure she gets to know you, the grandson of the martial arts champion."
Chen Shijian gave another awkward laugh, but remained silent.
"Alright, I'll be going now. I won't bother you any longer."
"Shall I walk you home?"
"What's there to give me? It's not like I don't know the way!"
After finishing his sentence, Ruan Zhengzhi quickly left the restaurant.
During the conversation, Chen Ye even called out, "Goodbye, Grandpa Ruan!"
Once Ruan Zhengzhi was far away, Chen Shijian's face immediately darkened.
"If I tell such a lie in this situation, and the lie is exposed later, where will I put my old face?"
Chang Guirong quickly explained, "Dad, don't be anxious. Didn't Uncle Ruan just say that if Xiao Ye's blood energy level is too low, the marriage is off the table? If I hadn't said that, wouldn't there be no future discussion?"
"You can't tell a lie like that. If it gets exposed later, won't the result be the same?"
"Dad, please let me explain."
Thanks to the guidance of a martial arts master from outer space, Chen Lie went from having a Qi and Blood value of less than 1 to becoming the Martial Champion in just six months.
If you can persuade Ge Qun to introduce the extraterrestrial martial arts master who guided Chen Lie to Xiao Ye, Xiao Ye's aptitude is already stronger than Chen Lie's, and he also has a higher starting point. I believe that in less than half a year, he will be able to surpass Chen Lie in martial arts.
At that time, we will also give them a true provincial martial arts champion. With Ono's talent, he might even go further and become the champion of martial arts in three provinces.
Your old friend will surely be very happy to accept this outcome, don't you think?
Chang Guirong analyzed.
"So what are we going to do for the next six months?"
"For the next six months, let Ono chat with your old friend's granddaughter online to build a relationship. Once Ono has undergone a complete transformation, the two can meet in person, and the woman will be 100% satisfied."
The only possible oversight is that Ge Qun and the others might be unwilling to introduce the extraterrestrial martial arts expert who instructed Chen Lie to Xiao Ye. This is something you, Dad, will have to resolve.
Chen Shijian's expression shifted, and he finally sighed, "That's all we can do."
Chang Guirong achieved her goal and a smile appeared on her face.
As a mother, she worried herself sick over her son.
The reason she told such a lie to Chen Ye's grandfather's old friend was quite ingenious.
Now, even if it's just to save face in front of his friend, Grandpa Chen Ye is going to do everything he can to get Chen Lie to share that martial arts master with Chen Ye.
Chen Ye, on the other hand, was able to form a bond with a genius martial arts girl from one of the top twenty provinces on Earth, which can truly be considered a stroke of great luck.
That afternoon, Chen Shijian took leave from his government-owned enterprise and returned to Dongchuan Province with Chen Guangqun and his family by airship.
Inside the training grounds of the genius team in Southern Jiangsu Province, a girl with a sweet appearance and outstanding temperament is practicing martial arts in the training ground.
With a wave of her hand, she unleashed a force exceeding ten thousand jun, scattering the surrounding air and creating bursts of sound.
During her martial arts practice, her powerful qi and blood surged, and every punch and kick caused the ground of the training ground to tremble slightly.
Before long, the girl finished demonstrating a set of martial arts techniques, let her hair down, and walked out of the training ground.
A girl walked up and said, "Ruan Liusu, have you finished your practice today?"
The girl named Ruan Liusu hummed in agreement and asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Someone from your family came looking for you earlier, but you were in the cultivation room the whole time, so they didn't bother you. They asked me to tell you that your grandfather has arranged a marriage for you, and that you should go home as soon as you finish your practice."
"Nonsense, how old am I? This isn't hundreds of years ago anymore, what marriage are you talking about? Don't joke like that!"
"I'm not kidding. Your family said the person they're arranging a marriage for you with is the provincial martial arts champion from another province. Go home and ask him if you don't believe me!"
"Um?"
The beautiful Ruan Liusu was immediately filled with doubt.
After leaving the training ground of the genius team in southern Jiangsu Province, she took an airship home.
Ruanjia Village, Southern Jiangsu Province.
As soon as Ruan Liusu arrived home, her grandfather, Ruan Liusu, came up to her with a smile.
"Susu is back?"
Ruan Liusu rolled her eyes at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, what are you up to? You actually sent someone to the Genius Group to find me, and even said you wanted to arrange a marriage for me. I'm not even 18 yet!"
"Susu, I remember Grandpa mentioned to you before that I have an old friend of several decades who I had planned to marry into. Originally, we wanted to arrange a marriage between our children and your father's generation, but at that time, both of our children were already married."
"We later decided to let the grandchildren get to know each other. If it works out, that would be a good thing; if not, it's still good to have another friend," Ruan Zhengzhi said.
Ruan Liusu immediately said, "Please decline this for me. I am in the prime of my martial arts training now. How can I have the energy to deal with these things?"
"Wait until I'm thirty before you bring up this again!"
"Grandpa didn't say you should get together right away. Get to know each other first, see what kind of person they are. If it's really not a good fit, Grandpa certainly won't push you into a fire pit."
"Hmph, do my parents even know about this sudden stunt?"
"Hehe, I just discussed it with your dad. His idea is that you try to get in touch with my old friend's grandson."
"How is that possible? Why would my dad fool around with you?" Ruan Liusu couldn't help but ask.
"What do you think? My old friend's grandson is the top martial arts champion in the entire province, the strongest martial arts genius who has stood out among tens of millions of people in the province."
Upon hearing "martial arts champion," Ruan Liusu immediately pressed, "Is it really a martial arts champion? Which province's martial arts champion is it?"
"Dongchuan Province!"
"So it's such a remote and impoverished province?" Ruan Liusu was immediately disappointed upon hearing this. "Dongchuan Province seems to be one of the bottom 20 impoverished provinces on Earth, right? The martial arts champion of Dongchuan might not even be as good as me."
Just as Ruan Zhengzhi was about to speak, a calm and peaceful voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Su Su!"
A middle-aged man came out of the house.
"dad?"
The middle-aged man approached Ruan Liusu and said, "Your grandfather's old friend, as your father knows, comes from an ordinary family and cannot provide him with many resources."
Think about yourself; you've always been waited on hand and foot.
Whatever resources you need, they are all available. Even martial arts resources that you don't need right now are prepared for you months in advance by your family, just in case they delay your martial arts training.
But others are different. His family is of ordinary means, and he has to earn whatever martial arts resources he needs on his own, as his family cannot provide any help.
Even so, he still stood out among tens of millions of people in the province, overpowering a group of sons of powerful families in Dongchuan Province, and won the martial arts championship in the province-wide martial arts competition.
My father has been through it all and knows the true value of such a martial arts champion. His real martial arts talent must far exceed what he has shown.
Believe it or not, if you were on the same starting line, at the same age, you wouldn't even be able to catch up with them.
Ruan Liusu pursed her lips and said, "It's not that exaggerated."
The middle-aged man didn't say anything more, but simply said, "What your father is telling you is to tell you not to think that just because you were born in one of the top twenty provinces on Earth, you can look down on geniuses from such impoverished provinces."
"Once you get into Starry Sky University and your family can no longer support you, you'll realize the gap between you and these top martial arts geniuses who come from ordinary backgrounds but stand out among millions of their peers."
Ruan Liusu bit her lip. Her father's words left her somewhat at a loss, so she could only say, "Then—I'll get to know this person first. I will definitely not get engaged just like that."
Ruan Zhengzhi, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Who said you should get engaged now? If you get engaged now, Grandpa will be reluctant to let you go!"
Get to know each other first. If you get along well, you can spend more time together. Once you're familiar with each other, you can arrange a time to exchange martial arts tips.
Although he's from an impoverished province, he's still a martial arts champion. Even if his martial arts skills aren't as good as yours, he's definitely not much weaker.
"I just wanted to get to know him first. If he doesn't work out, I definitely won't have any further contact with him."
"You don't need to tell me that. If the person isn't capable, Grandpa will be the first to disagree!"
Ruan Liusu nodded and asked, "What's this person's name? How do we meet?"
"I think his name is—Chen Ye? If we meet, I can contact him—"
Before Ruan Zhengzhi could finish speaking, Ruan Liusu's father said, "Recently, in the three provinces of Sichuan, East Sichuan, West Sichuan,..."
In Yunchuan, a martial arts competition among the three provinces will be held to determine the top martial arts champion among the younger generation of the three provinces.
You can take this opportunity to see this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province without him knowing you, and also learn about his martial arts skills to see if this martial arts champion from Dongchuan Province, who comes from a poor background, is worthy of his reputation.
"
"Huh? I have to go find him myself? I still need to practice martial arts. Yunchuan Province is more than 4,000 kilometers away from Sunan Province. Even if I take an airship, it will take me a whole day to go back and forth!"
"Martial arts training emphasizes a balance between exertion and relaxation. Your eagerness to practice martial arts and improve your strength might be less effective than a little relaxation."
Yunnan Province is known as the foremost of the three rivers, and is also called the "Beautiful Yunnan." You can take this opportunity to relax and unwind.
"Oh well!"
Ruan Liusu nodded.
She took out her communicator and searched online for information about the top martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province.
A related news article immediately appeared.
"A new champion of Dongchuan Martial Arts has been crowned; a true Martial Star has descended to earth."
Upon seeing this sensational news headline, Ruan Liusu immediately scoffed.
The God of War descending to earth? What a boastful tone.
People from these small places really dare to boast. Even the official media in Jiangsu Province, a top 20 martial arts province on Earth, wouldn't dare to claim that their martial arts champion is a reincarnation of the Martial Star.
After reading several news articles about the champion of Dongchuan Martial Arts, Ruan Liusu suddenly noticed a problem.
She looked up at her grandfather, Ruan Zhengzhi, and asked, "Grandpa, what was that person's name again?"
"Chen Ye".
"Chen Ye? But the name of the martial arts champion in Dongchuan Province is clearly Chen Lie."
"Chen Lie?" Ruan Zhengzhi was taken aback. "Could it be that I misheard him and mistook Chen Lie for Chen Ye?"
"Hmph, you can even get my name wrong, and you still talk about arranging a marriage for me? That's so unreliable!" Ruan Liusu snorted.
Ruan Zhengzhi smiled awkwardly and said, "Grandpa is old too. His energy and blood have long been declining, and his martial arts level is not high. It's normal for an old person to mishear a name. Why don't you just ask?"
"There's not even a shadow of someone, how am I supposed to ask?"
Ruan Liusu's eyes rolled back to the sky.
"Don't worry, Grandpa has had that kid add your Green Bubble as a friend. Just accept the friend request and chat online now."
"Oh, let me take a look!"
Ruan Liusu clicked on the green bubble and, sure enough, saw a friend request from noon today.
The young man who chases the wind requests to add you as a friend.
Ruan Liusu immediately accepted the friend request.
Clicking on the green bubble avatar of "Chasing the Wind Boy" revealed that it was a cartoon dog wearing sunglasses, and it was an animated avatar.
She wondered to herself: How can they still have time to do this? Is the martial arts competition environment in Dongchuan Province really that easy?
In their southern Jiangsu province, the martial arts competition is incredibly fierce. They practically train 24 hours a day, fearing they might be overtaken by the next person.
"Su Su, don't be shy, ask more about this Chen guy's background, especially his name, make sure you get the details," Ruan Zhengzhi instructed.
"What could I possibly be embarrassed about?"
Those who practice martial arts must have a strong heart; how could they be embarrassed by something like this?
Meanwhile, Chen Shijian returned to Dongchuan Province with Chen Guangqun's family.
It was already evening when the airship landed at Chen Guangqun's house.
After disembarking from the airship, Chang Guirong quickly said, "Dad, why don't you stay at our house tonight? We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
"Oh well."
Chen Shijian nodded.
"Please sit on the sofa for a while, I'll go to the kitchen to cook!"
After Chang Guirong finished speaking, she immediately went to the kitchen to cook.
About half an hour later, Chang Guirong prepared a very sumptuous dinner.
After serving the dishes, Chang Guirong immediately called Chen Shijian and his son Chen Guangqun to eat.
At the dinner table, Chang Guirong was very enthusiastic: "Dad, please eat more. There are all your favorite dishes on the table."
Chen Shijian nodded in satisfaction: "Gui Rong is so thoughtful. After all these years, she still remembers my favorite dishes!"
"Of course!"
Chang Guirong answered with a smile.
Suddenly, Chang Guirong noticed that her son, Chen Ye, was staring intently at the communicator, so she tapped on the table: "Xiao Ye, come eat! What are you staring at the communicator for?"
Chen Ye looked up and said, "Mom, didn't I add Grandpa Ruan's granddaughter's Green Bubble as a friend as he instructed?"
But why hasn't she accepted my friend request yet?
