Chapter 288 Malicious Isolation, Teacher’s Mission
By the time we returned to the small courtyard where we lived, it was already broad daylight.
Zhao Ya repaired himself a little and planned to go out for dinner, but by chance Gui Xuanqing came.
"Senior brother, it's time to go to Chuanwu Hall for class again today. Let's go to dinner quickly and try to go early."
"good!"
On the way to the Zhaitang, Gui Xuanqing chattered excitedly.
"Senior brother, I feel that my martial arts has made great progress in the past few days. At least I am not as ignorant as I was at the beginning."
"Really, then congratulations." Zhao Ya smiled.
"What you said is so true. If you can't beat it, then join it. Now I finally understand that there is no wasted money in this world." Gui Xuanqing sighed.
After being mercilessly slapped in the face by reality on the first day of class, Gui Xuanqing quickly became enlightened. After some contact, he immediately paid a huge sum of money and thus obtained the privilege of opening a small stove.
In his words, Xia Jiye's attitude when he was running a small stove was completely different. He was not only as calm as a spring breeze, but also very patient. If you have any questions, you can ask them at any time and he will give detailed answers.
It was through this method that Gui Xuanqing's boxing and kicking skills, including his actual combat ability, were able to improve significantly in just one month.
"Yes, it's true that there is no wasted money." Zhao Ya said.
"Senior brother, how about I pay for you to open a small stove, even if you have money later, you can pay me back." Gui Xuanqing made this request again.
In his opinion, he and Zhao Ya joined Canglong Temple in the same batch and should help each other.
Especially since this is a major matter related to one's own cultivation, there is no room for sloppiness.
Although Zhao Ya was very powerful and could barely keep up with Xia Jiye's scripted teaching method, the results were not as good as those taught by Xiao Zao.
If things continue like this, he will fall further and further behind.
So Gui Xuanqing offered to help Zhao Ya pay money several times, but he politely declined.
This time is no exception.
After hearing Gui Xuanqing's words, Zhao Ya smiled and shook his head.
"Junior brother, I understand your kindness, but I really don't want to open a small stove. If I have that time, I might as well practice more in private."
"But Xia Jiye's lectures are so perfunctory, how much can you understand?"
"I can generally understand it. When I encounter something that I really don't understand, I go to the library to look up information. I can always solve it."
"Well, since you, senior brother, are determined not to do it, I won't force you. But if you want to go, you can come to me at any time. My father just sent someone to deliver a large sum of gold two days ago, so I There is nothing else but more money." Gui Xuanqing said.
Looking at Gui Xuanqing, who is seven or eight years older than himself, but sometimes behaves like a child, Zhao Ya can't help but feel a little emotional.
I have to say, this guy is really a rich man!
The money was spent like running water, and it was not taken seriously at all.
I don’t know what his family does and how he got so rich.
The two of them had a hasty breakfast in the Zhaitang, and then came to Chuanwu Hall.
As soon as he entered the door, many people took the initiative to say hello to Gui Xuanqing.
"Junior Brother Gui is here!"
"Why did Junior Brother Xuanqing come so early today?"
Even those who didn't speak had smiles on their faces. Their enthusiasm was in stark contrast to the indifference a month ago.
However, only Gui Xuanqing received this kind of treatment.
Zhao Ya, who was standing beside him, seemed to be ignored by everyone at the same time. No one paid any attention to him.
Zhao Ya didn't care about this and even wanted to laugh.
Because he knew that he was isolated.
And the reason for this should be the instruction of Na Xia Jiye.
After all, in the past month, I have not expressed anything, and I have not even taken the initiative to say a word.
It was probably because of this that Xia Jiye was dissatisfied.
Since no one was paying attention, Zhao Ya simply found a remote corner, sat down on the futon and began to regulate his breathing silently.
Although cultivating the true power of Swallowing Stars in such a crowded and noisy place is a bit of a waste of effort, it is still better than sitting idle in a daze.
And Zhao Ya knew that although the Chuangong Hall classes usually started at eight or nine in the morning, in fact Xia Jiye had to come an hour or two late almost every time. It was considered early if classes could start at ten o'clock. Sometimes It can even be delayed until after eleven o'clock.
Therefore, Zhao Ya was not in a hurry and continued to practice slowly.
As expected, more than an hour passed before Xia Jiye arrived at the Chuan Gong Hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, all the disciples stood up one after another.
Zhao Ya also followed the trend and stood up to salute.
Xia Jiye looked around the audience, and when he saw Zhao Ya, his eyes narrowed slightly.
After this month of contact, Xia Jiye was deeply impressed by Zhao Ya.
Because he should be the only one among all the disciples who has never paid tribute to him, and he has not even said a word to him from the beginning to the end.
How could this not make him angry?
At first, he thought that Zhao Ya had someone to rely on, so he didn't have an attack.
But after a later investigation, it was discovered that his so-called connection with Canglong Temple was just an inconspicuous outer disciple.
As for the great elder, except for seeing Zhao Ya once when he came back, he was busy with his own affairs and never paid attention to him again.
As for Qin Jianji...
As an elder of Canglong Temple, Xia Jiye didn't fear him at all.
So after the investigation was clear, Xia Jiye didn't say anything, but secretly instructed these disciples to isolate Zhao Ya. No one was allowed to contact him, or even speak to him.
I thought this would force Zhao Ya to submit, but I didn't expect that he would remain the same, even looking like he didn't care. How could Xia Jiye not be annoyed.
Quietly suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Xia Jiye said coldly: "Today I will continue to talk about how to cultivate the seeds of Canglong's true power."
Then he began to lecture.
As always, he followed the script and spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid that people would understand him.
But Zhao Ya listened with great interest this time.
Because of the previous foundation of the Swallowing Star True Power Secret Book, Zhao Ya already had his own personal experience on how to cultivate the seeds of Dantian True Power.
But Canglong's real power is different, so when I listen to Xia Jiye's explanation of the method now, it just corroborates with the previous practice, and I can say that I have benefited a lot.
Of course, there would inevitably be some things that he didn't understand, so Zhao Ya secretly memorized them and prepared to ask Guo Luming for advice later.
It only took a quarter of an hour for Xia Jiye to finish all the content.
Many people looked sad after hearing this.
Xia Jiye was very satisfied with this.
It's okay if you feel it's difficult, otherwise why would you be so willing to pay tribute to yourself?
But when he saw the calm look on Zhao Ya's face, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and then he said angrily.
"These are the key points of our Canglong Temple's martial arts. They are the top priority. Everyone must pay attention to them and must not be perfunctory."
"Yes!" All the disciples responded one after another.
But when Xia Jiye looked at Zhao Ya's expression that remained the same as before, he couldn't help but feel even more angry.
"Several lectures have been about how to cultivate the true power seeds of Dantian. I think people who are interested will often look at the blue dragon picture on the cliff, so they should have gained something. Let's do it. I will check it after ten days. Let’s take a look and see how the true power seeds in everyone’s dantian are being cultivated, how about it?”
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
Because no one knew what Xia Jiye was going to do.
In the past, he would leave after giving lectures. Any important or difficult points would only be discussed in private.
As for spot checks and assessments, this has never happened before.
Only a few people with keen minds probably guessed something and secretly cast their eyes on Zhao Ya in the corner.
Zhao Ya seemed completely unaware of this.
"Okay, you can practice freely." Xia Jiye said and left.
Soon many more disciples followed.
Gui Xuanqing glanced at Zhao Ya with some embarrassment.
"Senior brother..."
"Go ahead, I happen to have something to deal with, so I won't waste time here." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"All right."
Gui Xuanqing felt his heart heavy.
He naturally understood what Xia Jiye meant when he suddenly proposed random inspections and assessments.
What he couldn't understand was why Zhao Ya refused to bow his head.
If he was short of money, he would have already said that he could pay the money out for him without him even having to pay it back.
But Zhao Ya repeatedly refused.
If it was because he was young, frivolous, cynical, and couldn't stand Xia Jiye's actions, then why did he persuade himself to join if he couldn't win?
Gui Xuanqing was puzzled and had no choice but to leave.
Zhao Ya then left.
After taking classes for a month, they already knew each other's details. Naturally, no one came to stop Zhao Ya anymore, saying that he couldn't just leave before the class was over.
Even if Zhao Ya doesn't come to class now, no one will pay attention to him.
In this way, Zhao Ya left the Chuangong Hall in a grand manner. Instead of going to the library, Zhao Ya turned around and walked to the west of Canglong Temple.
Canglong Temple is built on the mountain, facing south, with an abyss to the east and a mountain peak to the west.
There is a palace built under the mountain peak called the Contribution Office.
It is the place where Canglong Temple is specially used to release the master's tasks.
When Zhao Ya arrived here, he saw three or five disciples walking out, mumbling as they walked.
"Nowadays, the tasks of this division are becoming more and more useless. They are either extremely difficult or boring daily tasks with no contribution value at all."
"Who says it's not the case? It's either cleaning the courtyard or pulling weeds. Is this what the hell I, a warrior, should do?"
Along with these complaints, these disciples left one after another.
Zhao Ya's heart moved slightly.
It sounds...something is not good.
But now that we are here, we have to go in and take a look.
Zhao Ya stepped into the palace and saw a slovenly middle-aged man sitting on a chair drinking.
On the table in front of him was a thick notebook.
After hearing the footsteps, the middle-aged man threw the notebook on the table without even raising his head.
"The latest sect missions are all in there, watch it yourself, don't bother me."
