Chapter 109: Truth (1/3)

Chapter 109 Truth (13)

The headquarters of the Jiangnan Branch of the Daxia Martial Arts League is located beside the West Lake.

It was the first time for Zuo Yi to come here.

In the past, his fifth and third-level swordsmanship certifications were all completed in the Hangzhou branch of the Wumeng, and the Jiangnan branch corresponds to the provincial-level martial arts certification above the third level.

However, Zuo Yi can easily find the specific location of the Jiangnan branch without the help of mobile phone navigation, because it is located in the former imperial palace, which is now part of the Hangzhou Palace Museum.

The most complete ancient architectural complex in Hangzhou is preserved here. The majestic palace buildings, carved beams and painted buildings are so beautiful that it is also a must-see for tourists.

The main entrance of the Jiangnan branch is to the north of the ancient palace, and Zuo Yi arrived here before two o'clock in the afternoon.

He parked his Harley motorcycle in the parking area, and then walked towards the front gate, but was stopped before he could take a few steps.

"Mr. Zuo Yi."

The other party smiled and said, "We meet again."

"you again."

Zuo Yi couldn't help frowning: "I think I made it very clear last time."

The person blocking the way was Wang Sheng, the deputy general manager of the Jiangnan branch of Longwu Group. At that time, he wanted to recruit Zuo Yi to join the Longwu Jiangnan General Hall as a mentor, and offered a high annual salary of 5 million.

But Zuo Yi refused on the spot.

Afterwards, Zuo Yi deliberately checked the Longwu Group. The other party was a very powerful chain martial arts industry group, mainly engaged in the operation of mid-to-high-end martial arts gyms. Obviously, he came to poach corners because of Zuo Yi's newly rising reputation.

After being rejected by Zuo Yi, the Longwu Group did not bother.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Yi met this person again today.

"I know."

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Today's situation is a bit special. An acquaintance of yours wants to talk to you face to face. He is waiting for you in the cafe opposite. Can I bother you for a few minutes?"

Acquaintance? Which acquaintance?

A trace of doubt appeared in Zuo Yi's heart.

He checked his watch, and it was 15 minutes before the agreed certification assessment time.

Zuo Yi thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then five minutes."

If it was just Wang Sheng himself, then Zuo Yi would not even bother to glance at him, but what acquaintance of his own is so mysterious, he would like to see what kind of medicine is sold in the other party's gourd!

Under the guidance of Wang Sheng, Zuo Yi came to a cafe across the road.

At the door near the window, he saw this "acquaintance".

"Ling Yu?"

What Zuo Yi didn't expect was that the other party was really an acquaintance!

"Brother Zuo Yi, long time no see."

The other party picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then smiled and said, "How are you doing?"

He is very young, in his early twenties, wearing a black suit, short cropped hair, looks very energetic, with a faint smile on his handsome and upright face, and a black earring on his left ear, Much like a star in the entertainment industry.

Several girls who were drinking coffee in the cafe frequently cast attention on him.

But his temperament is like a sharp sword drawn out of its sheath. Although he smiled at Zuo Yi, his eyes were sharp.

Zuo Yi twitched the corners of his mouth and sat down opposite him: "It's been a long time since I saw you. You look very good."

To be specific, the two haven't seen each other for almost five years.

Ling Yu is also a disciple of Shang He, and he is also a direct disciple, but he started later than Zuo Yi.

When Zuo Yi left Tianhong Budokan, it was only half a year since Ling Yu came in.

Ling Yu was only 17 years old at the time.

Zuo Yi was very impressed with Ling Yu. Ling Yu's family background is not good, but he can endure hardships and stand hard work. It is almost as if he is desperate to practice martial arts, and his talent is quite good, so his progress is very fast.

In comparison, although Zuo Yi's talent is higher than Ling Yu's, Ling Yu's diligence is at least three blocks behind him!

So Shang He admired him quite a lot, and even reduced his tuition fees, and Shang Yulin also took good care of this little junior.

Although Zuo Yi has been his brother-in-law with him for half a year, they don't have much in common, and their relationship can only be said to be ordinary.

What surprised Zuo Yi was that after not seeing him for a few years, Ling Yu had undergone a radical change, almost like another person, so he almost didn't recognize him!

"I am now a specially-appointed mentor of Longwu Group."

Ling Yu said bluntly: "Zuo Yi, with your current strength and reputation, it doesn't make any sense to stay on this broken ship of Tianhong. Come with me to Longwu, we can work together to create a career!"

He tapped his fingers on the coffee table, not giving Zuo Yi a chance to respond, and continued: "Did Shanghe leave his "Sword Manual of Merchants" to you? Show it to me later."

"In addition, you can help me persuade Senior Sister Shang not to be so stubborn. I didn't mean it at the time..."

"etc!"

Zuo Yi interrupted: "Ling Yu, so Master's death is related to you?"

"It's not my business!"

Ling Yu said anxiously: "The martial arts competition is upright, and the fists and feet have no eyes, and it is inevitable that accidental injuries will occur. He is already sick and insists on being brave. Afterwards, I specially invited a doctor to treat him, but he kicked them out. What's the matter?" What do you want me to do!"

"Didn't Shang Yulin tell you?"

"I see."

Zuo Yi nodded and said, his expression was extremely calm.

Regarding the cause of Shang He's death, Shang Yulin has been reluctant to say more. Out of respect for her and Bao'er's sudden appearance, Zuo Yi did not investigate for the time being.

But Zuo Yi made an oath before Shang He's spirit, and he will never forget it.

I didn't expect the truth to appear so soon!

Although Ling Yu didn't say it very clearly, the matter is actually very clear. Although Shang He's death cannot be directly blamed on Ling Yu, it still has a great relationship with him.

Then what made the master and apprentice turn their faces against each other?

Zuo Yi didn't think it was Shang He's fault.

Look at the ruthless appearance of this man in front of you, think about the care and help Shanghe gave him back then, he is just like a white-eyed wolf!

He even wanted the "Sword Manual of Merchant"!

"do not worry…"

Ling Yu's expression became arrogant: "As long as you follow me, I will not treat you badly, and I will show you another world, a world that really belongs to the strong!"

It seems like a gift, but also like alms.

Zuo Yi smiled.

He took a deep look at the other party and said, "Goodbye."

Ling Yu's face sank, and his eyes on Zuo Yi became gloomy in an instant: "Zuo Yi, have you thought clearly?"

Zuo Yi didn't bother to answer at all, got up and left - the time for the assessment was coming soon.

Things come one by one, no one can run away anyway.

He thinks very clearly!

Ling Yu stared at Zuo Yi's leaving back with wolf-like eyes until Wang Sheng walked over.

"Chief Ling..."

The deputy general manager of the Longwu branch nodded and bowed in front of him with a flattering expression on his face.

"This person is useless."

Ling Yu drank the coffee in his cup, his eyes were full of coldness: "Then you go and make arrangements."

Wang Sheng felt awe-inspiring, and quickly said, "Okay."

Ling Yu stood up, took a long breath, and said, "Tell me, why are there always people who are so ungrateful?"

Wang Sheng smiled and lowered his head lower.

At this moment, Zuo Yi just arrived at the gate of the Jiangnan branch headquarters of the Wumeng.

After expressing his intention to the front desk, a staff member soon came out and led him to the reception room.

Just after filling out an application form in the reception room, a high-level person from the Jiangnan branch came to receive him in person, and brought Zuo Yi to the indoor martial arts field specially used for certification and assessment within the Wumeng.

There are already many people waiting there, and the fighting arena for the assessment has also been prepared.

And there are staff next to set up a camera.

Under normal circumstances, the branch of the Jiangnan Martial Arts League is not responsible for the certification of the eighth rank, but because of Zuo Yi's current popularity and influence, the branch specially customized today's assessment for Zuo Yi.

According to the regulations of the Wumeng League, the person who will be responsible for the assessment of Zuo Yi will be the professional ninth instructor specially appointed by the General Association!

When Zuo Yi came out after changing into his martial arts uniform in the locker room, he saw that the assessment instructor had already appeared on the ring.

The other party was wearing a black military uniform, and smiled at Zuo Yi: "Brother Zuo, we meet again."

The white teeth are dense, as if choosing someone to devour.

It was Ling Yu!
