Hu Die Lan
Chapter 372 Qualification
Gu Fei’s escape was clean and swift, without the slightest hesitation, fully demonstrating his determination. After all, this was an issue their Kung Fu family had been discussing for a long time. Kung Fu was gradually declining, which was inextricably linked to the strict selection of disciples. Learning Kung Fu could neither shoulder the important task of maintaining world peace, nor could it be exchanged for any readily available benefits in life. Moreover, the requirements for learners were so high that finding a disciple was even harder than finding a master.
Even so, Gu Fei and his family had always adhered to this principle without wavering. They insisted that Kung Fu was for cultivating Ultraman, not for creating little monsters. As a result, even many family members disdained martial arts, let alone outsiders?
Gu Fei thought about these things as he ran, feeling a pang of sorrow in his heart.
When those Cloud players saw Gu Fei running so happily, many of them stopped. Gu Fei’s running conveyed a clear message: he was unwilling to teach. Even if they caught up, it would be meaningless. Many people showed displeased expressions on their faces, believing that Gu Fei was playing the game unfairly. He had been "high" for so long, and he should contribute his methods so that everyone could "high" together.
However, since Gu Fei was unwilling, there was nothing they could do but resent him in their hearts. And more importantly, even if they tried to chase him, most people's speed couldn't match Gu Fei's.
However, among these people, one person's speed was clearly superior to Gu Fei's, so she didn't give up and continued to pursue him persistently. This person's speed was also truly formidable, so formidable that Gu Fei didn't need to turn around. Hearing the rapid footsteps behind him, he already knew who was coming.
Gu Fei only knew one person who could catch up to him so easily: Xi Yao Wu.
Gu Fei looked back and, sure enough, it was Xi Yao Wu’s fiery red figure. Gu Fei didn't know how many times he had seen this figure rushing into the crowd so aggressively, stirring up bursts of white light. He never expected that today she was coming for him.
But if this girl wanted to learn... Gu Fei thought for a moment, feeling that Xi Yao Wu's character was not bad, but she often killed people casually, showing some arrogance. Should he teach her Kung Fu? Gu Fei was uncertain for a moment.
To be honest, Gu Fei didn't have much experience in choosing disciples. According to the rules, opening a school and accepting students required the consent of his own master first. Gu Fei's master was his father, but he hadn't given him this right yet. Casually giving pointers like he did to Coward Savior was fine, but if he were to truly teach a disciple hand-in-hand, Gu Fei hadn't obtained this qualification certification yet.
While he was thinking about this, Xi Yao Wu had already rushed in front of Gu Fei. Before Gu Fei could speak, she scolded him first: "Hey, I didn't see it! How could you be so stingy?"
Gu Fei was stunned, then immediately realized what she was talking about. He could only smile wryly: "You don't understand."
"What's there not to understand? Hey! I'm talking about you, don't be like this. If you have something fun, take it out and play with everyone! To be so scared that you run away is too ugly, right? This shouldn't be your style," Xi Yao Wu said.
"Then what is my style?" Gu Fei couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... this..." Xi Yao Wu stammered, thinking for a long time and realizing that she didn't really know Gu Fei that well. Finally, she said angrily: "If you just don't want to, don't run! Go back and chop them to death!"
Gu Fei was speechless.
Xi Yao Wu was very proud: "How is it? No words to say, right? I told you, how could you be like this?"
"Alas, I told you, you don't understand!" Gu Fei said as he looked over there again, checking to see if anyone else was chasing after him as persistently as Xi Yao Wu.
No, not one. Although Gu Fei had been caught up by Xi Yao Wu and stopped, the Cloud City players were still standing in place, and no one came over. At most, they glanced over here a few times.
Gu Fei didn't have the gift of Wind-Hearing Ears, so he didn't know that although these people didn't come over, their conversation never strayed far from him.
"Ah, Xi Yao Wu caught up with that kid." Someone sighed.
"Xi Yao Wu's speed is currently unmatched in the game. It seems that even Qian Li Zui can't compare!"
"Qian Li Zui has also stopped!"
"They seem to be talking!"
"What are they saying?"
After someone raised this question, countless people immediately thought of the answer. Everyone was chasing Gu Fei for the same purpose, and Xi Yao Wu was no exception. And there was almost nothing that Xi Yao Wu wanted that she couldn't get in the game because she had a bottomless money bag.
Thinking of this, countless people were already regretting it. They regretted not being more discerning at the beginning and directly wanting Gu Fei to teach them. They should have directly named a price! Now, Xi Yao Wu had made the first move. Could ordinary people afford something that girl had priced?
Ordinary people always have a misconception that rich people are cheap and that they must spend a thousand yuan to show off the theme of "I am rich" for something that can normally be bought for 500 yuan. Of course, this is not the case.
But the real truth was that Xi Yao Wu was not discussing a deal with Gu Fei at all. After Gu Fei roughly explained the matter of teaching Kung Fu, Xi Yao Wu listened in a daze, and finally said blankly: "It's so troublesome?"
"Of course. There are fewer and fewer people learning Kung Fu now. It has to be said that it is because there are too many restrictions," Gu Fei said.
"Then abolish it!" Xi Yao Wu said.
"That's even worse. The more profound something is, the more rules it needs to regulate it," Gu Fei said.
"Don't be so self-promoting," Xi Yao Wu said dissatisfied.
Gu Fei smiled, and then Xi Yao Wu suddenly asked as if she had remembered something: "Do you think I'm qualified?"
Gu Fei was stunned. From Xi Yao Wu's words and actions since she came over, Gu Fei knew that this girl hadn't originally intended to ask this question. After all, her ability was already enough to dominate most players, and Gu Fei even felt that this girl's speed and reaction were quite difficult to deal with. Even though she asked this question at this moment, Gu Fei knew that she was probably just asking for fun and didn't really have this intention.
"Uh... this..." Gu Fei said vaguely.
"What do you mean?" Xi Yao Wu asked, pressing him with her eyes.
"You can, you can..." Gu Fei said vaguely. He had to say that. Because when he was telling Xi Yao Wu about accepting disciples, he mentioned that character was the most important thing. As for other things like aptitude, talent, or physical fitness, he wouldn't force them. Therefore, if Gu Fei said that Xi Yao Wu was not qualified at this time, it would almost be equivalent to criticizing her character as being problematic. Looking at Xi Yao Wu's expression, if Gu Fei really said that, she would probably come over and fight him.
Sure enough, after receiving this answer, Xi Yao Wu nodded, and said as if praising Gu Fei: "I see, then I'll allow you to teach me one or two tricks!"
"Sorry, I'm not qualified to teach disciples yet," Gu Fei said with a smile. Xi Yao Wu really climbed up the pole, but Gu Fei had already prepared a backup plan and gently blocked Xi Yao Wu back.
"You wish!" Xi Yao Wu said, "Who said I wanted you to be my master? I just want you to casually pick some simple tricks to teach me for fun."
"I see, then let me think about it. I'll teach you when I find something that suits you," Gu Fei said.
"That's more like it." Xi Yao Wu was finally satisfied.
"Alright, then you can go back first!" Gu Fei said.
"What about you?" Xi Yao Wu asked.
"I... I'll wait for them to calm down, or just follow from afar and help if something happens," Gu Fei said.
"I'll help you explain when I get back," Xi Yao Wu said.
"Well, that's not bad."
After the two finished speaking, Xi Yao Wu turned and walked towards the Cloud players, causing another commotion among the players.
"Xi Yao Wu is back!"
When she got closer, a sharpshooter could see clearly: Xi Yao Wu's expression was radiant.
Did she succeed! Everyone thought so, watching Xi Yao Wu get closer and closer. Some people couldn't help but start planning their lines for asking, which were already on the verge of spilling out.
Even Wushi Zhi Jian, the guild leader of Zong Heng Si Hai, was no exception. He licked his somewhat chapped lips, thinking that no matter what high price Xi Yao Wu offered, he would definitely be able to afford it with the full strength of his guild. When he learned it, he would share it with his guild brothers. How great would that be?
Thinking about his wishful thinking, Wushi Zhi Jian was about to go up and ask Xi Yao Wu when suddenly there was a blur in front of him. He looked up and saw that Han Jia Gongzi had already swayed in front of him.
"Guild Leader Wushi, are we doing this mission or not?" Han Jia Gongzi said coldly.
"Ah, the mission!" Wushi Zhi Jian suddenly remembered. The five guys who were blocking the way had retreated, but they had been standing here foolishly for so long. They should have hurried to send Todd to the dungeon. The faster they moved, the fewer problems there would be!
Thinking of this, Wushi Zhi Jian quickly called out: "Why are you all standing here? Hurry up and continue on your way!"
The team began to crawl forward, and Xi Yao Wu had already disappeared into the crowd, returning to the circle of the Rebirth Amethyst girls.
Immediately, a player approached with a sly smile, bowing and scraping: "Miss Xi."
"What?" Xi Yao Wu glared.
"That, how did it go with Qian Li Zui?" the man asked, and a group of people listened with their ears perked up.
"What do you mean, how did it go?"
"That is, how much money would Qian Li Zui want to teach that Kung Fu?" the man asked.
"Money?" Xi Yao Wu said angrily: "Is Kung Fu something that can be exchanged for money? I'm telling you! If you want to learn Kung Fu, first think about your own character. Guys with bad character don't even need to think about it. The most important thing about this skill is personal virtue. Money, money, money, you're just a money-grubber! With that kind of thinking, I don't think you're qualified!"
======================
The second update is here, everyone applaud and then vote~~
In addition, recently some people have asked me why the number of words in each chapter is less than before. . In fact, this is because the starting point's word count system has been revised, so everyone can rest assured that Hu Die's chapter content has always been a full three thousand words. As for why it was 3300 or 3400 before, uh, because I'm kind!
