Chapter 32: Making a Big Scene
"What does Brother Mo want to do?"
Gu Dan did not persuade him any further.
He knew that Mo Qiu had a sense of justice in his heart. He could tell from the fact that Mo Qiu almost couldn't help but take action when he first met Qingpingzi.
Some people think that the so-called "morality" is nothing but empty talk, without any basis, and is more for satisfying personal vanity.
But it is precisely because there has never been a shortage of "vain" fools from ancient times to the present that the world seems less dark and monotonous.
"Don't worry. The knife has been sharpened and the sheath is ready. As for what happens next, we will do our best and leave the rest to fate." Mo Qiu did not act on a whim.
He had been preparing for this day for five years.
Qingfeng Temple has been rooted in the Dayue Dynasty for fifteen years!
Trying to improve this situation by relying on one person's strength is nothing but a pipe dream.
Gu Dan opened his lips slightly, realizing that what Mo Qiu meant by "listen to fate" did not mean leaving everything to fate, but the God who lived above the people's heads.
Emperor Zong Ming! Facing the majesty of the emperor, or even openly singing the opposite tune, it goes without saying how dangerous it is in such an era.
Qingfeng is illiterate, so why can flipping through books be a crime? How can he expect to get away with it by breaking the dog emperor's dream of immortality? Mo Qiu left anyway. Before he left, he recommended a new owner, who would not make the Mo family martial arts school unable to operate, it would just be a matter of changing the name.
His name is Xiong Qihu, a burly man who has been wandering around the world. His ability has been tested by Mo Qiu. He joined the Mo family martial arts school three years ago, but has always been suppressed by Mo Qiu.
When Gu Dan found Xiong Qihu, Xiong Qihu was drinking and listening to books in a restaurant. He only had a plate of side dishes and a bowl of warm wine, which was surprisingly simple.
"Brother Gu, why are you here?" Xiong Qihu spoke with a strong rural accent, and even a bit of simplicity and honesty.
But after seeing him break a tree as thick as a man's waist with one slap, Gu Dan was more or less unsure about this kind of honesty.
"Congratulations, you've been promoted." Gu Dan said with a complicated expression.
"What?"
Xiong Qihu was stunned.
"Are you interested in becoming the owner of the Mohist Martial Arts School?" Gu Dan asked directly.
Xiong Qihu thought that Gu Dan wanted to change his partner, so he quickly said, "Where is Brother Mo? He is a good headmaster, and I admire his martial arts very much."
"He has more important things to do and can't stay in the martial arts gym for the time being. Before he leaves, I recommend you to take the position." Gu Dan was straightforward and direct.
"Of course you can, but the position of the museum owner will always belong to Brother Mo. When he comes back, the position of the museum owner will still be his." Xiong Qihu said immediately.
He had traveled all over the country to come to the imperial capital just to make a name for himself.
Somehow he came to the Mo family martial arts gym to "try his skills" in the hope of becoming famous, but ended up being defeated by Mo Qiu.
Later, he clung to Mo Qiu like a dog-skin plaster, wanting to learn martial arts, and simply stayed in Mo's martial arts school.
He usually trains ordinary students, and occasionally makes some progress, but they are beaten up by Mo Qiu.
He has mastered the intermediate-level martial arts of the Tiger Subduing Fist to perfection and is considered a master. It is no problem for him to be in charge of a martial arts school.
Even though he is old, he still refuses to give up his martial arts and wants to make further progress.
The most important thing is that this guy is already married and has even brought his wife and children here, so we know him well and can rest assured.
"As long as you're okay. Just do what you should do on weekdays, and you'll get your salary at the end of the month." Reaching out and patting Xiong Qihu's shoulder, Gu Dan was in no mood to say anything more. After signaling him to continue having fun, he immediately returned to the Mo family martial arts gym.
Jingchan's first level can only barely protect itself in the imperial capital, and there is no sense of security at all.
We must continue to work hard and not slack off!
But Mo Qiu's movements were much faster than Gu Dan expected.
On the third day after Mo Qiu left, Wang Mang suddenly came to him, excitedly grabbed Gu Dan and asked, "Brother Gu, why didn't you tell me that Master Mo challenged all the martial arts schools in the imperial capital in one day! Such an important matter should have been allowed to follow along!"
"Um?"
Gu Dan was stunned.
"If I didn't have some status in the Qing Gang now, I wouldn't know anything about it!" Wang Mang's face was full of regret.
He had long known that Master Mo was very powerful, but he never expected him to be so powerful!
To defeat all the other martial arts masters in one day, this must be at the level of the martial arts leader, right? In the past, it didn't matter whether there was a martial arts leader or not. Now Wang Mang just felt that Mo Qiu was the best in the world.
A boy of fourteen or fifteen is full of imagination and restlessness, and his mind is full of doing something big. After hearing Mo Qiu's name and the evaluation of his figure, Wang Mang hurried to the Mo family martial arts gym without listening to a few words, and complained to Brother Gu that he didn't even tell him such an important thing.
"I was wondering why there are so many people coming to the martial arts school to learn these days, and some are complaining that the goods are not what they ordered. It's really annoying Xiong Qihu."
Gu Dan had a slightly strange expression on his face. He originally thought that it was Emperor Zong Ming's sudden decision to build the Wanshou Palace that caused panic among the people, but he did not expect it to be a big move by Mo Qiu.
"Master Mo has announced that he will book Dingsheng Building in seven days to give a lecture on martial arts! Anyone can come and compete with him!"
After all, he was still a teenager. As he spoke, Wang Mang became excited again and asked expectantly: "Can I also stand on the stage and say a few words?"
"You haven't even drunk any alcohol, so why are you talking nonsense?"
Gu Dan reached out and held down the boy who was twisting and turning like he had ADHD. "Brother Mo has left the martial arts hall and is acting on his own. Don't get involved. It's very dangerous."
"ah?!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Wang Mang couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Why?"
"Because some things have to be done by someone," said Gu Dan.
"Then are we still going to see it?" Wang Mang asked in confusion.
A moment’s silence.
"go."
In the Dingsheng Building, all the tables that were in the way had been moved aside.
All the original screens were removed to ensure the openness of the space to the greatest extent.
Even the seats are limited, so people who arrive late can only stand at the back and watch.
The balcony had long been cleared of all unnecessary decorations, even the eyesore lanterns had been taken down.
Today, Dingsheng Building is booked out.
A warrior wants to preach the way of martial arts and makes a huge fuss about it.
This is truly a once-in-a-century opportunity, and few people dare to do this.
Whether they came to watch the fun, to learn something, or simply to broaden their horizons, people from all walks of life came in droves. Some of them held weapons and looked unfriendly.
There are quite a few people who want to take advantage of today to become famous.
Seven days was enough time for the news to spread in the imperial capital.
"Brother Gu, given our relationship, why don't you get a chair and sit down?" Wang Mang asked in a low voice.
In the center of the first floor, there is a specially cleared space with a circle of chairs, but no one is guarding it.
There are only a few chairs, but there are even more people.
Gu Dan took Wang Mang and stood obediently in an inconspicuous corner, waiting silently.
"Shut up! I won't take you with me if you keep talking." Gu Dan glared at him. Didn't he see that the guy over there was about to draw his sword for a chair?
"Oh." Wang Mang responded sullenly, standing there helplessly, looking around.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long, and the real host of today showed up.
Mo Qiu walked out of the building, looked around, and when he saw Gu Dan, he didn't stop for a moment, and said naturally: "You all came here today to discuss martial arts. But empty words are useless. Is there anyone who wants to come on stage and show us a few moves first?"
