Chapter 57 Persuasion
After Chen Chuan left, Cheng Zitong waited for a while, and someone came up to greet him, so he walked into the building.
When I entered the hall, I saw an old lady with silver hair and a bun sitting on a nanmu chair opposite, with a female attendant standing behind her.
She wore a pair of reading glasses and had a kind face. She was dressed in an ochre-red forged ancient costume with a right lapel. In her hand was a dark ironwood cane with a pomegranate-shaped end.
She looked very healthy. She sat there with her body straight and in good spirits. Her facial features showed the beautiful grace of her youth.
Seeing Cheng Zitong walk in, she said slowly, "Xiaocheng, you haven't come to my place for a long time."
Cheng Zitong said, "Old lady, am I not busy?"
"Yes, we're all busy." Teacher Ni said, "It's not easy to worry about students, right?"
Cheng Zitong replied: "It's not easy, but the students are good, so I don't have to worry too much, so I don't find it too difficult."
Teacher Ni said, "It seems that you are very satisfied with this student. I must meet him later."
Cheng Zitong said, "That's easy. After the exam is over, I'll have him come to see you, old lady."
Teacher Ni said slowly, "That may take a while."
Cheng Zitong seemed to have heard something. He glanced outside a few times and said helplessly, "Old lady, what are you singing about?"
Teacher Ni patted the table and said, "Come, sit here with me, have a cup of tea and calm your mind."
Cheng Zitong chuckled and walked over to sit down not far from her. Teacher Ni said with a smile, "It's just some young people's affairs. Let them make a fuss. If they don't make a fuss, they're not young people anymore. Besides, Xiao Qiu is here. What else do you have to worry about?"
Cheng Zitong took a sip of the tea from the table and found it refreshing and refreshing, with a lingering fragrance. He nodded and said, "Good tea." He then looked up and said, "Actually, I have nothing to worry about."
Teacher Ni said, "It seems that you have great confidence in your students."
Cheng Zitong smiled and said, "By the way, old lady, I wonder where your students are? Let me assess them."
Teacher Ni tilted his head, and the female attendant behind him turned and walked out. After waiting for a while, she came out with a small male student. The male student was a little nervous. He bowed to Cheng Zitong and said, "I am Feng Xiaoqi. Hello, Teacher Cheng."
Cheng Zitong recognized her. This was the student from the dormitory next to Chen Chuan's. He couldn't help but show a helpless look on his face and said, "Old lady, you really don't want to suffer any loss at all."
This is Chen Chuan's classmate next door. If they are not friends, they are neighbors for three years. If he wants to retaliate a little, his relationship will become strained and his student will suffer. This old lady is really cunning and leaves you with no place to vent your anger.
Teacher Ni said slowly, "Old man, haven't I suffered enough in my life? What do you think, Xiaocheng?"
Cheng Zitong didn't dare to continue talking about this topic, or it would bring up his old man. He hurriedly said to Feng Xiaoqi, "Student, are you ready? If you are ready," he looked at the old lady and said, "How about we start now?"
Teacher Ni smiled and said, "Let's get started."
Inside the gymnasium, Chen Chuan looked ahead. A tall, handsome senior student approached him, extended his hand in a friendly manner, and said, "Hello, classmate Chen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lu Fang, and I'm one of the vice presidents of the Fenxin Society. Oh, I forgot to mention that Shu Han is also a member of our club."
Chen Chuan glanced at him, realized something, and shook hands with him. Lu Fang smiled friendly, turned sideways, and said, "Let me introduce you, classmate Chen, to Di Zhongren, a second-year A-level student in the Grappling Department."
A boy with a brush-cut hair, a slender build, bronze skin, and wearing a student's formal uniform stood up and nodded to him.
Lu Fang pointed to a stocky, short boy and said, "This is Bi Yang, a second-year A-level student in the wrestling department." The short boy smiled shyly at him.
"This is Jing He, a second-year A-level student from the Sanshou Department."
Chen Chuan looked over and saw a tall and thin student with a serious expression. He raised his hand and clasped his fists towards him.
Lu Fang introduced these people to him one by one. These people were from various departments, and except for the ones introduced at the beginning, the rest were all B-grade students, including second-year and third-year students.
After Chen Chuan waited for Lu Fang to introduce him, he said to him, "I have already met all the seniors. When can I start my monthly exam?"
"There's no rush for the monthly exam. Before that..." Lu Fang said sincerely, "Student Chen, could you please spare some time to listen to us?"
Chen Chuan looked at it, nodded and said, "Senior Lu, please go ahead."
Lu Fang said, "Student Chen has been enrolled for over a month now. You've already learned the breathing method early on. Given your talent, you might have mastered more advanced breathing methods as well. Then you can start practicing the power method. Could I ask, what power method have you chosen?"
Chen Chuan didn't hide anything and said frankly, "Zhou Yuan Jin Fa."
There is nothing to hide about this. Jinfa is just a way of practicing, a tool. How to use it depends on the person. Moreover, these are all reported in school. If you want to know, there is always a way to figure it out.
"Zhou Yuan Jin Fa, what kind of Jin Fa is this?" Many people had never heard of this kind of Jin Fa and were asking each other.
After hearing this, Assistant Qiu looked at Chen Chuan in surprise.
After all, most of the students in the group were senior students, and some had heard of it, so they explained it to others.
After hearing this, everyone was a little bit unconvinced at first, but after repeated confirmation, they looked at Chen Chuan with disbelief, and many people felt that it was not worth it for him.
One student stood up and said indignantly, "Xiaodi Chen, why did you choose this? Did your instructor tell you to? Don't worry about it. You can change instructors in a month. If you can't find a suitable one, we can introduce you to our instructors. I believe you will definitely learn real skills!"
Someone said sadly, "Yes, junior, how could you choose such a practically useless method? You are giving up on yourself!"
Chen Chuan looked at them and said, "My choice is my own. I don't need anyone to tell me what to do. I hope you seniors will respect my choice. Also, Teacher Cheng is my advisor. I don't want to hear any of you making groundless accusations against him. Otherwise, there's no need to continue this conversation."
Lu Fang waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down and let him speak. He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Student Chen, I actually understand your thoughts. You may be very conceited and think that you can still develop a set of skills even if you use the worst method.
That's right. Before you even entered Wuyi, you defeated Zhong Wu on your own. That should have given you confidence. I'd have the same idea, but the opponents you encounter in the exam are different from those you encounter in real life. You should understand this. If you really don't understand..."
He sighed and said, "Although we don't want to do this, we will try our best to help you understand today. We don't want to target you, but we just want you to know that with Wu Yi, relying on one person or a certain technique is not enough. You need both strength and more help. This is what we have learned from previous lessons.
Don't think we're exaggerating or looking for trouble. A student like you, with such a talent, will still attract enemies even if you don't choose a good method. You alone won't be able to stop those who are targeting you, whether openly or covertly.
He said in a serious tone, "You want to train peacefully? I tell you, that's impossible. From the moment you step into Wuyi, many eyes are watching you. If you don't make a choice, someone will force you to make one. If you don't make any choice, you won't accomplish anything. Everyone here has been through this, and no one is an exception."
Chen Chuan then said, "Senior Lu, are you finished?"
Lu Fang was slightly startled, looked at the people behind him, and then nodded and said, "I'm done."
Chen Chuan looked at him and said slowly, "Senior Lu, I'd really like to see the truth you've said." He began to unbutton his coat, saying as he did so, "But I don't think you can convince me yet."
After saying that, he threw the clothes he had taken off far away and cast his eyes on everyone in front of him, "Then according to the rules of this exam, let me convince you."
