...
Shen Qian helped the seriously injured Geng Qianqiu into the rest room, and then paused in surprise.
Because there was an unfamiliar figure in the lounge.
The newcomer appeared to be in his thirties or forties, with a refined and scholarly demeanor. He wore a long robe with a slightly retro style and had a faint smile on his face. As Shen Qian and Geng Qianqiu entered, he cast his deep and unfathomable gaze upon them.
Just as Shen Qian was wondering why there were strangers in the Jiangzhong Military Restroom, and why Cheng Qingqing and the others had all stood up, Geng Qianqiu, whom he was supporting, suddenly shouted out in a slightly excited tone.
"teacher!"
teacher?
After a moment of surprise, Shen Qian quickly realized who the visitor was. He hurriedly helped Geng Qianqiu to a chair and then bowed respectfully, saying, "Junior Shen Qian greets Lord Kunhu!"
Although Gao Wenyuan is said to have come from Jingcheng, his growth trajectory is not in the southwest. Moreover, based on what he knows so far, the origin of the Marquis of Jingcheng is probably far more mysterious than he imagined.
The Earl of Kunhu was a true native of the Southwest Province, and in some ways, he was more approachable to the people of the Southwest Province than the Marquis of Jingcheng.
In Shen Qian’s memory, Kunhu Bo and his teacher had a rather ordinary personal relationship. The two seemed to belong to different camps. Even when Shen Qian won the national martial arts champion title, Kunhu Bo did not show up.
Today, however, is the first time that Shen Qian has seen Uncle Kunhu in real life.
"Let's heal our wounds first."
Lord Kunhu first tossed a small porcelain bottle to Geng Qianqiu. After Geng Qianqiu took the elixir and entered a meditative state, Lord Kunhu turned around and looked Shen Qian up and down.
"Seeing is believing, and seeing is even better than hearing. What a fine scholar!"
Kunhu Bo exclaimed in admiration.
If an ordinary martial artist said such a thing, it would be commonplace, but for such words to come from the mouth of a king or nobleman, it was extremely high praise. Not to mention the others in the rest room, even Shen Qian himself was somewhat moved.
"Lord Kunhu, you flatter me!"
Shen Qian quickly offered a humble reply.
"Please sit down, don't be nervous. I'll be bothering you for a while, so please have a cup of tea."
Uncle Kunhu smiled slightly, gestured for everyone to sit down, and then waved his hand, placing a cup of hot tea in front of each person, the rich aroma of which instantly filled the entire lounge.
Seeing that Lord Kunhu's amiable demeanor seemed genuine, Chen Qian accepted the hot tea and tentatively asked, "Lord Kunhu, did you come here for Qianqiu?"
"We'll talk about this later."
Lord Kunhu waved his hand, turning his gaze to the two people on the arena outside, who were locked in a tense standoff. He then asked with interest, "Shenqian, do you know the origins of the Cao siblings?"
"I don't know that."
Shen Qian shook his head. Back when they took the college entrance exam, Cao Qian and Cao Wen were known for their mysterious backgrounds. In the vast southwestern province, few people knew their true origins.
“The old man from Minnan was surnamed Cao.”
Uncle Kunhu said it casually, but the meaning behind his words was already quite clear.
"Are Cao Qian and Cao Wen the children of royalty?"
Everyone in the military lounge in Jiangzhong understood the implied meaning in the words and couldn't help but show surprised expressions.
“The Earl of Minnan is one of the few princes and nobles who has both a son and a daughter. Moreover, Cao Qian has an older brother, and he is only the second son.”
Uncle Kunhu nodded, without any attempt to hide anything.
Although Shen Qian was quite surprised, upon reflection, he didn't find it unacceptable.
It would be strange if a genius like Cao Qian came from humble beginnings. Shen Qian didn't know the strength of the Earl of Minnan, but according to normal classification, "Earl" is only the lowest title among kings and marquises. Well, thinking about it this way, the Earl of Kunhu is actually just an "Earl"...
Shen Qian suddenly felt that he had become too arrogant, actually criticizing these kings and nobles.
Even top-tier cultivators can easily kill him nowadays, let alone kings and nobles.
Forced himself to regain his senses, Shen Qian asked Kunhu Bo with some curiosity, "Then, Kunhu Bo, which of these two do you think is more attractive?"
"You already have an answer, so why bother trying to play tricks on me?"
Uncle Kunhu glanced at Shen Qian and smiled faintly.
He coughed lightly and could only chuckle awkwardly to cover up his embarrassment.
A king is a king; he believed that the other party was probably seeing Zhao Keyi for the first time as well, but clearly, he had already guessed something.
Although the geniuses like Jiang Zhongjun and Wu, who were madly pursuing him, were all making rapid progress, it must be said that Zhao Keyi was the one who impressed him the most.
Perhaps few people in Jiangzhong Military Academy know that during the college entrance examination, Zhao Keyi's performance in the first two subjects was almost perfect, except for his failure in the practical exam against Shen Qian.
Physical fitness: 100 points; willpower: 99 points.
These are Zhao Keyi's scores for the first two subjects.
Zhao Keyi is also the only other genius among Shen Qian's peers who has been recruited by the Hundred Kings Hall.
This alone speaks volumes.
Although Zhao Keyi was often teased by everyone in the Hundred Kings Hall for being a "not-so-bright duck," Shen Qian understood that Zhao Keyi was just used to using his silliness to mask his ambition.
"Perhaps no one could have predicted that today would actually be his stage..."
Shen Qian gazed at that seemingly lazy figure and murmured to himself.
...
On the arena.
No one expected that what was supposed to be a showdown between Shen Qian and Cao Qian would turn into a confrontation with Zhao Keyi.
But everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished.
Many people even have higher expectations for Zhao Keyi than for Shen Qian.
After all, the other four official members of Jiangzhong Military Team have already proven themselves. As the official captain, Zhao Keyi couldn't possibly be weaker than the others, right?
