"Sigh, it's a long story."
I shook my head. I didn't know where to start. Relationships were torturous, and I couldn't think of a good solution.
Just now, I was hesitating whether or not to find trouble with Lin Xiao Ya. But then I thought about it. She had already complained to Liu Jie. If I went against her now, Lin Xiao Ya would definitely become worse. That wouldn't be good for my reconciliation with Liu Jie. So, I gave up on that idea.
"You've already destroyed the Zhao family. What's there to worry about?" Xiao Zhuyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing that I didn't want to talk about it, he didn't bother.
"Come, just pretend that I didn't ask. Let's drink and get drunk."
Xiao Zhuyu raised his glass. I nodded and clinked glasses with him. Then, I drained it in one gulp.
"By the way, did Curator Du tell you about the expedition after the New Year?" he suddenly asked after he finished drinking.
"Expedition after the New Year?
What do you mean? "I was stunned.
Then, Xiao Zhuyu calmly explained. It turned out that the competition a few days ago was called the Elite Selection Competition because they wanted to pick out a group of qualified warriors to take on the responsibility of protecting the country. In the past two years, a group of genetically mutated people had appeared at the border of Nan Yun Province. They had strong destructive power, and they had been trying to break through the border's defense line. If they were to send out the military, it would cause all kinds of public opinion in the world. After all, Hua Xia had a beautiful image of a peace-loving country. But talking reason with those people would be like playing the lute to a cow.
So, the best way was to send out a small number of people to calm down the storm. This way, we could protect the peace of Hua Xia. After Du Hongchen and many other big shots discussed it, they picked out a group of warriors from the participants. Xiao Zhuyu and I were among them!
I was stunned. There was actually such a thing. "Brother Xiao, I still have to go to school after the New Year. I can't do anything about the expedition."
His expression was a little strange, and he said snappily, "Brother Zhuang, you have to know which is more important. Moreover, this kind of person who can defend the peace of the country, once he returns in triumph, not to mention the universities within the Nanyun Province, even if it's some higher education institution in the capital, you can still choose!"
Senior Sun had said something similar before, but even after I became the champion of the qualifier, I didn't see any famous school's headmaster or education department trying to recruit me. I feel like I've been tricked by him.
"Brother Zhuang, you don't need to doubt it. If you can return to your hometown with glory, the lowest level would be a central government official. Arranging a place for you in a famous university would be a piece of cake. Moreover, you can also get a place for your girlfriend. How great would that be?" Xiao Zhuyu patted my shoulder and said excitedly.
"Aha."
Originally, when he said that he would get a place for me, I was already very moved. If he helped Liu Jie get a place, she would definitely be very happy. Although we were currently in a cold war, there would be a day when we could reconcile. We wouldn't break up because of some trivial matters.
Originally, graduating from senior high school was a trial period. Many young couples would go their separate ways during this period. After all, it wasn't easy to enter the same university.
Although Liu Jie's grades weren't bad, they weren't among the best. She often skipped classes, and her heart was on me. It was very likely that she wouldn't be able to enter a good university. If it was a few years ago, as long as you had money, you could still find a way to enter a famous university. However, the requirements were getting stricter and stricter. Money was no longer useful. What was useful was power. I was well aware of this point.
Moreover, I had received a generous reward. As long as Director Du said it, he wouldn't be able to refuse. It was precisely because of the appearance of those genetic mutants that the commander-in-chief was having a headache. He originally wanted to tell me about it today, but Wan-er inexplicably hung up the phone. He planned to wait for two days before telling me.
"Alright, then let's fight side by side. Cheers!"
I still admired Xiao Zhuyu. Previously, she was always suppressed by Ouyang Jun, but she didn't give up. However, with my strong rise, I dealt a heavy blow to the Ouyang father and son. Her family had gained quite a lot. At least, after Ouyang Jun lost his martial arts, the Ouyang family didn't have the confidence to call themselves the number one martial arts family in Kuncheng.
After the two of us drank for a while, the brothers of the Blood Wolf Hall came over in groups of three to five to propose a toast. Although it wasn't the first time they saw me, they were still in awe of me, especially after yesterday's fight. You know, in Yuncheng, Old Man Zhao was one of the strongest. Yesterday, when I brought him to the Zhao family, he looked like a beggar.
It wasn't easy to see me. They also wanted to be familiar with me. One by one, they rushed to drink with me. I didn't refuse them. These brothers had the mentality of facing death with equanimity. Just this point alone was worthy of my respect.
I didn't put on airs. As long as they came over to propose a toast, I didn't refuse them. Originally, with my physique, it was impossible for me to get drunk. However, because I wasn't in a good mood, I didn't deliberately erase the effect of alcohol.
After a dozen brothers proposed a toast, although the others also wanted to propose a toast, they were stopped. Perhaps they were afraid that I would get drunk.
"How is this enthusiasm? You are clearly bullying Brother Feng. Don't drink anymore!"
"That's right. It's a good thing to respect Brother Feng, but taking turns to drink like this is a bit of a prank."
Hearing these concerned voices, I couldn't help but smile. "It's okay. Let's continue drinking. Come, come, come. Now that the Zhao family's biggest worry has been solved, let's be happy. If you can't get me drunk, then it'll be boring."
Hearing what I said, they couldn't help but smile. They took turns to propose a toast. Xiao Zhuyu tried to persuade me, but I didn't take it to heart. "If you are my brother, drink with me. Drink to your heart's content. If you don't drink, then go to the side."
After being provoked by me, Xiao Zhuyu also became excited. He accompanied me to propose a toast. He was just curious as to why I could resist the effects of alcohol. Why did I stupidly drink until I got drunk?
In the end, the empty bottles next to me piled up into a small mountain. My stomach was so full that I couldn't drink anymore. My head also had a splitting headache. Although it didn't feel good, it made me temporarily forget about Liu Jie's matter.
Originally, they were going to help me to sleep in the high-class suite. However, I complained that I wanted to go home. I didn't know why, but when I was drunk, I lacked a sense of belonging. Even if I was drunk, I wanted to go home and do it instead of making a fool of myself in a nightclub.
Xiao Zhuyu was about to leave. Under my request, he flagged down a car and sent me to my house.
