◇ 【069】 Gu Juan’s challenge letter!
They all speak English.
"The Great Wall is truly amazing, even more magnificent than in the photos!" Catherine said as she took photos. "This trip to the United States was well worth it."
"Do you really think so?" Ackerman snorted. "I think our trip here was completely in vain. The so-called geniuses of ** Country are simply too weak to withstand a single blow. Imperial Capital University, ** Country's top university, is no better than this!"
"I think the same as Ackerman." Bane gave the Japanese who nodded to him in a friendly manner a perfect smile, but his words were full of sarcasm, "Especially the so-called Japanese martial arts, which are not worth mentioning at all. Oh, God, I regret coming to Japan. It feels like seeing a bottle of Lafite labeled 1982, but finding out it's just ordinary brown sugar water!"
"Why don't we go back home tomorrow? It's so boring here." David said in a dull tone.
"I have a different opinion." Ackerman unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and took a sip. "The more boring it is, the more we need to find fun. Next, let's challenge a few more schools and defeat them one by one. What do you think?"
"That's a great idea!" David clapped his hands.
Ackerman and Bain both laughed out loud.
Although Catherine didn't say anything, there was excitement in her eyes.
Gu Juan, Gu Yinyin and Zhang Cong all had gloomy expressions.
"Did they say anything unpleasant?" Zhao Rui asked Gu Juan with a sullen look on his face.
Gu Juan walked towards Ackerman and the others.
"Cousin, what did they say just now?" Zhao Rui asked Gu Yinyin again. They spoke very quickly, and he could only catch a few words.
Gu Yinyin's pretty face was gloomy as she stared at Ackerman and the others. "Their words were very rude. They basically said that our ** country's students are vulnerable and ** martial arts are just a name!"
"How can this be!" Liu Hui was furious and strode over.
Zhang Cong grabbed him and said, "The third brother seems to have made up his mind. Let's see what he says first."
Gu Juan walked up to Ackerman and the other four, staring at them with calm eyes. He spoke coldly in fluent English, "Perhaps I should tell you that students in our country start learning English in junior high. Since you're all geniuses, you really should have spoken in German, French, or even Japanese just now."
The faces of the "five-member group" all changed slightly.
"Who are you?" Ackerman suppressed his smile.
"Gu Juan. I will wait for you at Congzhou University on May 3rd. I believe you are not cowards." Gu Juan smiled at them sarcastically and walked away.
Zhao Rui, Liu Hui and Zhang Cong all gave Ackerman and the others a sarcastic smile and quickly followed Gu Juan.
"The quality of every country's people is just so-so." Gu Yinyin was the last one to pass by them, leaving a cold remark in a pleasant voice.
Ackerman's face was as gloomy as water.
"Ackerman? What are you going to do?" Bane asked indifferently.
Ackerman said calmly, "Of course, I'll go to Congzhou. It will be very interesting to step on someone who is more conceited than me!"
"Third brother," Zhang Cong caught up with Gu Juan, "Are you planning to challenge them? Are you sure?"
Gu Juan nodded. It would have been fine if he hadn't heard it, but now that he had, there was no way he could endure it. Ackerman, Bain, David, Catherine, and Emily, he would personally teach them a profound lesson!
Liu Hui said, "In that case, we should go back early and have Lao San watch more videos of their matches to get a better understanding of their strengths."
Zhao Rui looked at Zhang Cong, "Doesn't the fourth brother have a lot of videos at home? Also, we have to find four more people, right? Will one day be enough?" He was a little worried.
Gu Juan said calmly, "It doesn't matter if I can't find anyone. I will challenge the five of them alone."
Zhao Rui, Liu Hui and Zhang Cong were all shocked.
"Gu Juan, are you really sure?" Gu Yinyin knew that Gu Juan wasn't the type to speak without thinking. But the problem was, Gu Juan didn't know any martial arts. If Ackerman were to challenge his martial arts, how would he respond?
"Don't worry." Gu Juan took out his cell phone and called Xi Lang.
Xi Lang was talking with Xi's mother and Lin Xuan in the living room. He felt strange when he received his call. He pushed open the glass door and walked into the back garden. "Xiaojuan, have you finished climbing the Great Wall so soon?"
"No. Old man, we met Ackerman and his men."
Xi Lang immediately guessed, "Something unpleasant happened?"
Gu Juan looked at the mountains and forests in the distance and smiled faintly, "Well, I challenged them. May 3rd, Congzhou University. Old man, some things can be tolerated, but some things cannot be tolerated."
"I understand. Whatever you decide, I'll be with you."
Xi Lang's voice was gentle but firm, making Gu Juan feel at ease and sweet.
After returning from climbing the Great Wall, Zhao Rui, Liu Hui and Zhang Cong planned to return to Congzhou immediately and go back to school first, first to help Gu Juan say hello to the school, and second to help him do some preparations in advance.
Gu Yinyin asked Gu Juan, "Aren't you going back with them?"
"I have some things to do in the capital," Gu Juan said. Xi Lang's family must know he's in the capital now, so they had to pay them a visit.
"Then I will go back to Congzhou with them." Gu Yinyin said.
Gu Juan was surprised, "What are you going back for?"
Gu Yinyin glared at him. "Of course I'm watching you compete! You're talking about 'one against five', how can I not be worried?"
Gu Juan had no choice but to ask his roommates to take good care of Gu Yinyin on the way. Thinking that Gu Yinyin would definitely not want to go home, he gave her the key to his house and asked her to stay there.
Not long after seeing off Gu Yinyin and the others, Xi Lang arrived by car.
After boarding the bus, Gu Juan picked some fresh fruit from his interdimensional space, deliberately placing it in an ordinary plastic bag, pretending to have bought it casually from a fruit store. Occasionally, it wouldn't hurt to send fruit from his interdimensional space to Xi Lang's family. After some thought, he bought some organza from a cloth shop he passed on the way, cut some beautiful flowers from his interdimensional space, and tied them into a beautiful bouquet with the organza.
Xi Lang took his hand, put it to his lips and kissed it.
"Lin Xuan is here too. He knew you were coming and has been waiting."
Gu Juan said, "Actually, I'm a little confused. Why does Lin Xuan think I'm good at martial arts? We've only met once before."
"It should just be a feeling. Remember the time when you beat An Jiaqi? Your momentum was amazing at that time." Xi Lang said.
Gu Juan understood. He had indeed lost control of his emotions at the time.
As the car pulled into the Xi family compound, he saw Lin Xuan playing with Duoduo and Doudou under the shade of a tree. Doudou could already walk, but not very fast, with a stumbling, wobbly gait. He was dressed in yellow, looking as adorable as a little duck.
Lin Xuan squatted beside him like a child, watching over him and laughing secretly. When he heard the sound of the car engine, his eyes lit up, and he picked up Doudou and walked over quickly.
"Gu Juan. I'm Lin Xuan, remember?"
"Uncle Gu!" Duoduo rushed over and hugged Gu Juan's legs.
Gu Juan didn't expect Duoduo to still remember him. He was a little surprised and hugged her. "Duoduo, be good. Lin Xuan, of course I remember you. I never formally thanked you for what happened last time."
"You're welcome." Lin Xuan said, "It's just a small favor."
"Uncle Gu, these flowers are so beautiful!" Duoduo exclaimed.
Gu Juan said, "These are for grandma. Duoduo can help grandma put them in the vase later."
Duoduo responded loudly, "Okay!"
Xi Lang came out a step slower, carrying some fruit. He felt a little depressed by how close Xiaojuan and Duoduo were. "Xiaojuan, Lin Xuan, go in first. Duoduo, you still need someone to hold you when you're this big?"
Duoduo stuck out her tongue and slid down from Gu Juan obediently. She held Xi Lang's hand with her left hand and Gu Juan's hand with her right hand, jumping around.
Xi's mother was at home, and Gu Kuan came forward to greet her.
"Auntie, I'm bothering you again. This bouquet of flowers is for you. I hope you like it."
"These flowers are so beautiful! Thank you." Mother Xi took the flowers and sniffed them. "Look at what you're saying. I wish you could stay here forever." She was overjoyed to see Gu Juan. She had been talking to her youngest son quite a bit recently. Based on his reaction, she had long guessed that he and Gu Juan were making great progress, and now he actually considered her his "daughter-in-law."
Xi Lang asked the servants to wash and cut some fruits.
Lin Xuan was a little surprised that Gu Juan was so close to the Xi family.
"Xiaojuan, Xiaoxuan, please sit for a while. I'll go arrange the flowers first." said Xi's mother.
Duoduo quickly said, "Grandma, let me help you!"
"Okay." Xi's mother took her to arrange flowers.
She finished arranging the flowers and came over, and saw Lin Xuan still holding Doudou.
"Xiaoxuan, put Doudou down. It's very heavy."
Doudou was placed on the ground. He staggered towards Xi's mother, stretched out his two little arms, and called out in a baby voice, "Grandma, hug me."
"Okay, grandma will hold him." Xi's mother picked him up and put him next to her on the sofa.
The servant brought the fruit over and Gu Juan peeled a banana for Duoduo.
"Thank you, Uncle Gu, it's delicious!" Duoduo smiled happily with her eyes narrowed.
"Uncle Gu." Doudou followed Duoduo and shouted, his eyes like black grapes looking at Banana longingly.
Everyone laughed.
Gu Juan quickly peeled a banana for Doudou.
Xi Yongming and Xi Cong came down from upstairs together.
"Alang, Xiao Gu, you're back."
"Dad, big brother."
Gu Juan and Lin Xuan also stood up to greet them.
"Everyone, sit down." Xi Yongming said to Xi Lang, "Alang, come up for a moment."
"Don't the father and son have anything else to talk about in private?" Xi's mother joked, "Let's ignore them and talk about our own things."
Why is Moumou such a fan of even numbers and symmetry? Ever since I updated the odd-numbered chapters on the first day, the subsequent chapters have been asymmetrical, which is so awkward! I tried to endure it, but I still don't want to endure it, so, today I will update three times. Sigh...]
