Chapter 25 Ba Duan Jin

Not long after, Qiao Ye and Xie Chen attended the guide's physiology class together.

In the guide's physiology class, the vast majority of students are girls.

At this time, Qiao Ye, who was a "boy", sat in the corner of the classroom with the male guide Xie Chen.

The guide's physiology teacher, ignoring the girls' blushes, spoke freely, "You all know that a sentinel cannot live without a guide, but a guide can live without a sentinel. A sentinel without a guide will eventually go berserk and die. But a guide without a sentinel can still live."

"However, we Guides also have a very serious weakness. We have a gland on the back of our necks that can be marked by the Sentinels. If it's a temporary mark, it will dissipate after a few days. If it's a formal mark, then you will be branded by the Sentinels. This brand will make you dependent on the Sentinels' pheromones."

"You all know that Sentinels experience bonding fever. Actually, we Guides experience it too, but not as intensely as Sentinels. After being marked, Guides' bonding fever becomes more intense, and they also exhibit certain animalistic traits. For example, without the Sentinel's pheromones, you'll feel very uncomfortable. Don't be embarrassed if you approach a Sentinel at this time. It's okay, everyone is the same."

"Sentinels are very possessive. Some Sentinels simply cannot tolerate their Guides providing mental support to other Sentinels. However, the interstellar Sentinel ratio is 10:1. If the Guide is unable to perform its duties, the Sentinels without a Guide will all be left to die. So, Guides, do not be afraid. No matter how strong he is, he will have no choice but to obey you."

When the girls heard this, they blushed and smiled shyly.

Qiao Ye gritted his teeth when he heard this.

Damn glands.

...was marked.

I feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!

A week has passed since Qiao Ye and others attended classes while undergoing military training at the school.

During this period, Qiao Xiu contacted her using the optical brain.

It was a bit surprising that when the Tao family paid the guide the combing fee, not only did they not delay, but they even increased the price.

The Tao family paid double the price agreed upon previously, a total of 1.5 billion.

When Qiao Xiu wondered if they were up to something, Tao Jiang said unhappily, "Isn't my son, Tao Jiang, worth 1.5 billion?"

In the Empire, the Qiao and Lu families were warlords. The Tao family was not. Instead, they were an interstellar tycoon, controlling the star mines of several planets.

So the Tao family is indeed rich.

However, after paying the money, Tao Jiang repeatedly asked the contact person about the guide's identity.

But they were all blocked by Qiao Xiu.

It seemed that Shang Aoxiang had also gone to the hospital that day for some reason, and Tao Jiang placed his suspicion on Shang Aoxiang. But Tao Di said with certainty that she was not the one.

After Qiao Ye found out, he couldn't help but roll over on the bed and laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Xiu asked.

Qiao Ye said: "I suddenly thought of Maori Shang Aoxiang!"

Qiao Xiu: "What?"

Qiao Ye said: "This is a joke. What I mean is that Shang Aoxiang is a good scapegoat. We must take good care of her!"

Qiao Xiu didn't quite understand and just smiled.

Qiao Xiu received 1.5 billion and thought that with so much money, he could buy more than just an 8-star mecha. He could even get a 9-star mecha with a little more effort. But if he bought a 9-star mecha, it wouldn't be enough. Why not save up and buy a 10-star mecha in one go?

So he told Qiao Ye his idea. Qiao Ye was very happy after hearing it and asked, "Brother Qiao Xiu, I still have 3,000 star coins here. I originally saved them for living expenses. How about I give them to you to save for buying a mecha?"

Qiao Xiu smiled and said, "No need. Ye Qiao, if you need money, just tell me. You've already saved quite a bit of money with me."

Qiao Ye: "Yeah, I feel relieved to leave the star coins with you."

After that, Tao Di appeared on campus normally, and seemed to have no time to care about his sister Tao Cancan. He seemed to be worried and was always looking for someone.

Later, gossip spread around campus that Ocarina had gone home on leave. It was said that she had developed a buildup of heat. The Tao family had bought a lot of heat inhibitors for Ocarina.

"Does the second-year head have a favorite guide?"

"No way. Oh my god, who's his favorite guide?"

It is impossible for a Sentinel to keep his love for someone a secret.

The Imperial Military Academy has one day off a week.

Qiao Bang excitedly rushed to dormitory 404, and Lu Chi followed Qiao Bang in.

Qiao Bang: "Are you going out to work today?"

When Qiao Ye heard about the part-time job, he became interested: "Go ahead, are we still going to the zoo?"

Xie Chen and Lu Chi: "Okay!"

So, the four of them went to the zoo together, and the staff said, "We have canceled the wild man project."

The four young boys slumped down like four disappointed little animals. "We have no more living expenses."

Xie Chen suggested: "Why don't we go to Xishan Nursing Home, even though the salary is not as high as being a wild actor."

Qiao Ye was the first to express her support. She raised her hand and said, "Okay, okay!"

The four people set off again, took the same bus as last time, and arrived at Xishan Nursing Home.

The elderly people in Xishan Nursing Home couldn't stop smiling when they saw these four children.

"You are here, come in quickly."

Qiao Bang put his hands on his hips and said excitedly, "If you have anything that you can't move, I'll go move it now!"

So Qiao Bang got the job quickly.

Qiao Ye was about to sweep the floor with a broom when the elders quickly stopped her and pulled her over for a closer look.

"Okay, okay, the more I look at this child, the more I like him."

"Let's watch your military academy's freshman competition video. Ye Qiao, you're awesome!"

"I have a few new clothes for your age that you haven't worn yet. I'll give them all to you."

"I still have a few boxes of milk here, Ye Qiao, take some back and drink it, it will help you grow taller."

Qiao Ye was stared at by the elderly people and she felt a little overwhelmed.

An old man said, "Honestly, I envy you young people. My health is getting worse and worse. I often have back and leg pains. And my mental power is always out of control, and it often goes into a frenzy. No matter how many guides the community arranges, it's useless. I'm getting old."

Qiao Ye thought of something and suddenly said, "Oh right, I thought of a bodybuilding method that can strengthen the body."

"What kind of body-building method is this?" an old man asked curiously.

Qiao Ye said, "It's called 'Eight-Section Brocade'."

"What is Ba Duan Jin?" the old man asked with interest.

Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's a kind of ancient martial art that may have been lost. It can strengthen the body."

Elderly people: “What are you waiting for? Come on, let’s give it a try.”

The elderly were very interested in group activities, and soon the elderly at Xishan Nursing Home were lined up in neat rows, as if they often lined up for exercise.

Qiao Ye stood in the front, facing them. Despite his young age, he taught diligently and looked calm and composed.

"When we practice Ba Duan Jin, we must pay attention to our entire body, follow nature, and focus on our breathing."

"Today, we will learn the first posture, lifting both hands to the sky to regulate the three burners."

Qiao Ye taught carefully and patiently, step by step, and the old people also learned very seriously. Lu Chi, Xie Chen, and Qiao Bang all stopped what they were doing and looked over here.

Lu Chi said, "I don't think I've seen this kind of body-building style before."

Qiao Bang pinched his chin and thought: "It seems quite special."

These retired sentinels who practiced with Qiao Ye were more and more amazed the more they practiced.

"Do you feel that this breathing method combined with this set of movements seems to have reduced the level of mental frenzy a little?"

"Yeah, I feel like my head doesn't hurt as much anymore."

"If I hadn't been practicing it myself, I wouldn't have believed it. It's amazing."

"What kind of body-building method is this?"

"Classmate Ye Qiao said it was a lost ancient martial art."

An old man took out a laptop and asked, "Can I record a video?"

"Don't record it! For a lost ancient martial art like this, the master's consent must be obtained before it can be passed down. Spreading it privately is a huge mistake!"

"Oh yes, yes, thank goodness you reminded me."

As the old man practiced, he began to regard Qiao Ye as his master.

Xie Chen closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations of spiritual power in the air: "The frenzied spiritual power values ​​of these elderly people seem to have calmed down."

Lu Chi asked Xie Chen in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Xie Chen pondered and said, "What I mean is that the bodybuilding method that Ye Zi is teaching seems to be effective against the Sentinel's frenzied mental power."
