Chapter 366 Joint Activities
"Zhou Wen, why did you come here just now? The meat is almost cooked. Come here quickly." Li Xuan waved at Zhou Wen from the other side.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say it was a big deal? Is this the big deal you were talking about?" Zhou Wen walked to Li Xuan and said while looking at the barbecue in Li Xuan's hand.
"If I hadn't said that, would you have come out? Today is a joint event between our Xuanwen Society and the Weiyang Society. These things were all provided by the Weiyang Society. They've invited us sincerely, so we can't refuse their kindness, right?" Li Xuan stood up and pointed at the girls nearby, introducing them, "My sister, Li Weiyang. You know her. She's a tigress. Ignore her."
"Are you looking for death?" Li Weiyang glared at him.
"My sister is a bit fierce, but she's beautiful enough. I've tolerated her for over a decade just because of her looks. Otherwise, I would have fallen out with her long ago." Li Xuan pointed at the girl next to him and said, "This is Zhang Miaomiao, the vice president of Weiyang Society. She just told me that she wants you to teach her swordsmanship. When you have time, teach her."
"Hello, I'm Zhang Miaomiao, good at finance and management." The girl was very generous. She stood up and extended her hand.
"Zhou Wen." Zhou Wen stretched out his hand and shook hers.
"We at Weiyang Society welcome you anytime. I need to learn swordsmanship from you, but if you have any financial management or investment needs, you can come to me. I promise I won't let you down." Zhang Miaomiao held Zhou Wen's hand tightly and continued.
"I don't have much spare money to invest." Zhou Wen pulled his hand back.
Li Xuan looked at it and shook his head, thinking: "Zhou Wen is really a born virgin. I should let him practice my invincible skills."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Miaomiao didn't mind at all. She smiled and said, "It's okay. When you have money in the future, you can come to me anytime."
Li Xuan was stunned, wondering what was going on. When did these women become so good-tempered?
Then she introduced Zhou Wen to the other members of Weiyang Society. They were all female classmates, not a single male, and they all expressed great kindness towards Zhou Wen.
"Sister, what's going on? Tell me the truth, your Weiyang Society took the initiative to cooperate with us. Are you planning to take advantage of Zhou Wen? You're not trying to poach people from me, are you?" Li Xuan saw that the girls were surrounding Zhou Wen and asking him questions. Even Zhou Wen's straight-forward personality didn't scare them away. He couldn't help but ask Li Weiyang secretly.
"It's none of my business. They said Zhou Wen was too pitiful. He suffered a lot of grievances in his stepmother's house and followed a teacher like that by mistake. So they wanted to show Zhou Wen some love and let him know that there is still warmth in the world." Li Weiyang said, spreading her hands.
"Pathetic? Aggrieved?" Li Xuan felt his brain was running out. He looked at Zhou Wen, who was surrounded by women, and thought to himself, "He's pitiful and aggrieved at all. Ouyang Lan treated him so well, giving him whatever he wanted. He just didn't want it. And Wang Mingyuan, even though he's a real villain, he's really good to his students. Zhou Wen said that he was able to advance to the epic realm thanks to Wang Mingyuan's help."
Of course, Li Xuan wouldn't tell Li Weiyang this. Then he thought again, "This is good. Otherwise, with Zhou Wen's temper, no woman could stand him. He'd probably be single for the rest of his life. Now, someone's willing to take the initiative to accommodate him. Maybe it will work out."
However, Li Xuan obviously underestimated Zhou Wen's lethality. Zhou Wen was sitting there grilling meat, and many girls were sitting next to him talking to him, but Zhou Wen just responded with "hmm". He kept turning the skewers in his hands and grilling meat on the charcoal fire, as if he was more interested in those grilled meats than talking to girls.
At the beginning, the girls didn't mind too much, thinking that the topic might not have interested Zhou Wen, so they changed the topic to games and companion pets.
They were obviously well prepared and mentioned some popular games. However, Zhou Wen didn't really like playing ordinary games. He had never played those games and had never even heard of them. He could only tell them directly that he had never played those games. This left those girls who were very good at chatting at a loss. The atmosphere became a little awkward, and those girls had no choice but to chat with each other.
"Your friend is really great. If he can find a girlfriend, I will take your surname." Li Weiyang looked at the situation and said to Li Xuan with a smile.
"Don't be ridiculous. We have the same surname. What's the point of you sharing my surname?" Li Xuan shook his head and said, "It can't be helped. Zhou Wen is a bit introverted and straightforward. In peacetime, he would definitely be a nerd."
"I'm a little curious, how did you become friends with him? Your personalities are so different." Li Weiyang asked curiously.
Li Xuan smiled and said, "Actually, making friends has nothing to do with personality. It's just like finding a girlfriend. As long as you suddenly fall in love with someone at a certain moment, no matter what their shortcomings are, you just feel that you can be friends."
“So this is how you make friends? No wonder you got cheated.” Li Weiyang rolled her eyes at him.
None of the girls over there wanted to chat with Zhou Wen anymore. It wasn't because they didn't want to, but because they simply couldn't continue the conversation. Zhou Wen was a topic terminator. Any topic disappeared when it came to him, like a black hole.
No one spoke to Zhou Wen anymore. Zhou Wen felt relieved and continued to grill the meat with the skewers. While grilling the meat, he was thinking about how he should comprehend the Ancient Emperor Sutra next.
"The Ancient Emperor Scripture does have the addition of fire power. Why can't I feel the part related to the Ancient Emperor Scripture from the flame? Is it that my understanding of flame is not deep enough, or is it that the true power of the Ancient Emperor Scripture is not fire power?" Zhou Wen thought while grilling meat.
In fact, Zhou Wen was a little too impatient. It was not an easy task to comprehend the profound meaning of Yuan Qi Jue.
Most people start practicing Yuanqi Jue when they are in school, continue until they graduate from college, and then enter society to learn. Only those with good talent at around the age of 30 can comprehend the true meaning of Yuanqi Jue.
Children of wealthy families like Feng Qiuyan have been practicing Yuanqi Jue since childhood. The family has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in them, and there are also predecessors who have practiced this Yuanqi Jue to teach them their experience. Generally, it takes more than 20 years old to understand the true meaning of Yuanqi Jue.
Someone like Feng Qiuyan, who could comprehend things so quickly, could be considered a genius among geniuses. However, Feng Qiuyan had been practicing sword techniques since childhood, and this was the result of years of accumulation.
Zhou Wen used to practice "Bitter Zen", but "Bitter Zen" was replaced by "Mixian Sutra". He practiced "Mixian Sutra" for less than a year and he was promoted to the epic level. It can be said that the promotion speed is against the sky.
As for the Qi Jue such as "Ancient Emperor Scripture" and "Demon God Chronicle", he had never practiced them. They were just simulated by "Mysterious Immortal Scripture". Under normal circumstances, Zhou Wen would need at least a few years to slowly familiarize himself with and comprehend them before he could understand their true meaning.
In the previous battle with Feng Qiuyan, he was lucky enough to comprehend the true meaning of "Chronicle of the Demon God". It was partly due to talent and partly due to luck. It would not be so easy to comprehend "Ancient Emperor Sutra" again.
