This girl looks smart, but she's actually a brainiac
In fact, there was a reason why Cheng Caimeng invited Gu Ran to join her martial arts hall and made such speculation.
Although she seemed to be concentrating on thinking and not paying attention to the road just now, her perception would not allow her to knock down anything. No matter whether there was a pillar or a real person in front of her, she would automatically avoid it.
But she almost bumped into Gu Ran!
In her perception, there was no such person as Gu Ran at all!
There are only two situations where this happens:
First, Gu Ran is a genius who is very suitable for practicing their martial arts hall's skills;
The second is that Gu Ran is already a powerful martial artist who has achieved great success. He may have even surpassed the level of Qi Condensation in martial arts... and is a martial arts master.
Gu Ran had been swimming in the sea for so long and running on land for so long that his clothes and pants had already become tattered. In addition, he appeared in the slums and seemed to have completely integrated into the local customs and practices, so Cheng Caimeng misunderstood that Gu Ran was a resident of the slums in Canglong City.
This was the reason why Cheng Caimeng tried hard to invite Gu Ran to join the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall in the beginning, because she thought Gu Ran was a slum dweller who urgently needed to change his destiny but had not discovered his own talents.
However, in the face of her invitation, Gu Ran actually refused. You know, she had just specifically pointed out that Niyuan Martial Arts Hall was one of the earliest martial arts halls established in Canglong City, which was almost saying that Niyuan Martial Arts Hall had "special recruitment qualifications".
Although people from the slums can be promoted to inner city residents through military merit, this path is very risky and usually takes a long time. If they are geniuses, there may be a risk of premature death, which makes the gain not worth the loss.
Therefore, very few martial arts halls have "special recruitment qualifications". Every year there are specific quotas that can directly recruit disciples from slum residents as formal disciples of their own sects, exempting them from the process of promotion through military merit.
This is a privilege only available to very few martial arts halls, and this privilege is undoubtedly very attractive to ordinary slum families.
As long as their family produces a "specially recruited student", their immediate relatives can be directly promoted to inner city residents and no longer have to face the dangerous tide of ferocious beasts.
Almost all slum dwellers know about this privilege, and they all fantasize about having a "specially recruited" genius in their own family.
So when Gu Ran rejected Cheng Cai Meng, she immediately changed her mind. She no longer thought that Gu Ran was a genius whose talent had not yet been discovered, but instead believed that he was a top master with great strength but who liked to play the pig and eat the tiger.
Gu Ran had only learned some superficial knowledge and information about Canglong City from books. He didn't know much about the special recruitment right, nor did he know the basis of Cheng Caimeng's judgment. So in his opinion, Cheng Caimeng's invitation was completely inexplicable, and he became more vigilant.
"Excuse me, do you have anything else to do?" Gu Ran said as he took a step forward, indicating that if there was nothing else, he would leave immediately.
He did not have that kind of unnecessary curiosity. In such an unfamiliar place, boys should learn to protect themselves well and not give bad women any opportunity to take advantage of them.
Because of the other party's "throwing himself into his arms" at the beginning, Gu Ran actually suspected that it was a honey trap. However, he looked at his current location. In broad daylight, it was not the best time and place for a honey trap. In addition, Canglong City was famous for its good security, so he thought about it and ruled out this speculation.
But anyway, just stay away from this inexplicably beautiful woman.
"Sister, you're back!?"
Gu Ran looked over and found that it was indeed the girl he had just glanced at twice.
"Sister, is this the special talent you were looking for?" Cheng Youmeng looked at Gu Ran with suspicion, a hint of hostility in her eyes, "Isn't this obviously a martial arts waste without any spiritual power fluctuation? I have said it before, there is no need to look for any special talent, having me in the martial arts hall is enough."
Gu Ran was a little puzzled. Why did this little girl show hostility towards him? Didn't he just look at her twice more? And he didn't have any intention of getting along with her. It was just that she was too eye-catching, and his eyes stayed on her for two seconds subconsciously. How could he be discovered and misunderstood
... ...
Outside the light screen.
Cheng Youmeng suddenly felt emotional when watching this scene.
This was the moment they met. So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. I still remember that when I first met him, I misunderstood that he was a special genius selected by my sister, and said some very childish words like a child.
The other strong men were somewhat surprised when they saw the girl Cheng Youmeng. This girl who seemed to have a bad temper and was extremely unruly turned out to be Cheng Youmeng
This is nothing like the current martial arts master Cheng Youmeng that they know.
Cheng Youmeng is not very smart now, but she is very calm and considerate. For example, when Gu Qingqing turned against her before, she promptly had someone turn on the space interference device again, making Gu Qingqing's space ability lose its greatest rescue effect.
The two people seem to have completely different styles of doing things.
Only Cheng Youmeng knows how much he has paid to change his personality into what it is now.
"It turns out that Niyuan Martial Arts Hall has the qualification for special recruitment. No wonder it suffers so much hostility. Its strength and power don't match each other." A strong man from Canglong City whispered, "But I remember that Niyuan Martial Arts Hall didn't seem to use this special recruitment qualification in recent decades, so many people like me don't know that Niyuan Martial Arts Hall has such power."
"I have heard of this. In fact, Niyuan Martial Arts Hall has a goal and wants to use this power, but the targets they choose are either intercepted or snatched away by other martial arts halls. Compared with other martial arts halls with a long history that are still in existence, no genius would be interested in the already declining Niyuan Martial Arts Hall."
Among the powerful men from Canglong City present, some were focused on practicing martial arts and did not care much about worldly affairs, so they did not know much about the grudges between Niyuan Martial Arts Hall and other martial arts halls.
However, there are also some strong people who like all kinds of gossip and have a clearer understanding of what happened in the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall back then. It’s not that the strong people don’t like gossip, but they don’t like the gossip about ordinary people. If it is gossip about people or forces of the same level or higher than them, they are also very interested.
Cheng Youmeng did not respond to the whispers. She just looked at the screen, at the beautiful woman on the screen, the woman who had taken care of her for more than ten years.
"Sister, your vision is indeed better than many people. Gu Ran is indeed a rare martial arts genius in the world. Even though his martial arts skills are now completely useless, you have a keen eye to see his extraordinaryness. But your vision in love is too poor. Why do you like someone like him?" Cheng Youmeng said silently in her heart, "He doesn't love you. In his heart, there is only the supreme power. Maybe there is also a place for the Queen of the Sea Clan and his sister, but there is definitely no place for you!"
As for her own feelings, Cheng Youmeng no longer cares about them. She just feels sorry for her sister and feels pity for her.
The hand holding the sword was shaking slightly.
... ...
In the light screen.
Cheng Youmeng's suspicion and hostility were clearly revealed. Gu Ran pretended to be displeased and said, "What a psycho."
Then he took a step forward and prepared to leave.
Cheng Youmeng's words gave Gu Ran an excuse to leave.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Gu Ran ignored him and continued walking.
"Wait a moment, could you please wait a moment?"
Gu Ran suddenly found that someone was pulling his sleeve. He turned his head slightly and saw Cheng Caimeng looking at him with wide eyes, her bright eyes full of expectation and pleading.
"Sister, just let him go. Our martial arts hall doesn't need such an arrogant person. Even if we force him to join our martial arts hall, he will probably be turned against by other martial arts halls and become a traitor." Cheng Youmeng said dissatisfiedly.
"Cheng Youmeng!" Cheng Caimeng's voice finally took on a hint of anger, "Shut up! Go back and put yourself in solitary confinement for 24 hours. You are not allowed to come out before the time is up!"
Cheng Youmeng, who had been mumbling, suddenly closed her mouth in fear. When she heard her sister talking to her in such a tone, she knew that her sister was really angry. If she continued to talk back, the punishment would be doubled.
However, Cheng Youmeng was so angry that she pouted when her dearest sister actually protected an outsider.
Gu Ran glanced at Cheng Youmeng, whose lips were pouting high enough to hang a soy sauce bottle, and then looked at Cheng Caimeng, who was pulling his sleeve to prevent him from leaving. He was really confused about the situation.
What's going on with you sisters
"My sister is still young and immature, so she misunderstood you. Please don't be offended." Cheng Caimeng saw that Gu Ran was no longer in a hurry to leave, so she let go of his sleeve. "Actually, I just went to see another person. My sister hates him, and she misunderstood you as that person, so she spoke rudely. In fact, she is not usually so rude."
It seemed like an explanation to Gu Ran, but actually it was an explanation to Cheng Youmeng, what are you talking about here, this is not the person you hate.
Hearing her sister's words, Cheng Youmeng was stunned.
Isn't this the "specially recruited genius" that my sister went to meet? Then why did she just retort and look at him with hostility... ...
Thinking of this, Cheng Youmeng's face turned red and her toes kept tapping the ground.
Seeing Cheng Youmeng's embarrassed look, Gu Ran found it amusing for a moment.
"I apologize to you." Cheng Caimeng said to Gu Ran solemnly.
Although the other party's verbal apology seemed insincere, Gu Ran was not the kind of person who would not let go. He knew that Cheng Youmeng really spoke rudely because she misunderstood him, and he also saw her picking her feet awkwardly, so he forgave her in his heart.
"Okay, okay, I accept the apology. So I'm leaving now?"
Gu Ran tried to take another step.
But as he expected, Cheng Caimeng quickly said, "I misunderstood you just now and didn't realize your strength.
"Now I solemnly invite you to join the Niyuan Martial Arts Hall and become its deputy head."
Although he guessed that the other party was so humble and must have some ulterior motive, Gu Ran never expected that the other party would have this ulterior motive.
First she wanted him to be a disciple of the martial arts hall, and now she wants him to be the vice-master of the martial arts hall. What on earth did this woman see in him? What was her purpose
Gu Ran felt a little confused for a moment.
115. Dragon Blood River! Strange sound! 4k
When Cheng Youmeng heard her sister's words, her eyes suddenly turned into disbelief.
What's wrong with you, sister
Why are you being so condescending to this person
The guilt that had originally arisen from misunderstanding Gu Ran disappeared without a trace.
Cheng Youmeng was angry again.
How could my sister be bullied like this
Cheng Youmeng's burning gaze burned Gu Ran again. Gu Ran tilted his head and saw the changing look in Cheng Youmeng's eyes. He couldn't help but feel speechless and confused.
She is really small but has a big temper... ... Oh, no, she should not be small anymore. I was almost fooled by her size.
Gu Ran shook his head and said, "I'm not the expert you imagine. I'm just an ordinary person. Your sister is right. I don't even have a talent for martial arts. Please find someone else."
Although the name of Niyuan Martial Arts Hall is good and sounds pleasant, that is all.
It was obvious that whether it was from the younger sister's angry slamming of the table just now, or from the elder sister's absent-mindedness when she was walking just now, it showed that this martial arts hall was in trouble, and it should be a big trouble.
My sister was even a little desperate. She wanted to recruit anyone she met on the street into her martial arts hall. She didn't even know the man's background, but she wanted to recruit him as a disciple or as deputy master.
Gu Ran had no intention of getting involved. After all, his purpose was just to visit Canglong City and then go to Zhuque City immediately. He didn't want to delay his trip.
Seeing Gu Ran's impatient look, Cheng Caimeng became a little anxious and secretly blamed herself for being so tongue-tied.
