Chapter 5 Entering the Jinghong Martial Arts Hall
Bai Lan began to learn about martial arts knowledge.
Xue Qingcheng returned to her residence alone and continued to play her piano music.
"Why do you have to embark on the road of cultivation? Lan'er, do you know that after entering this path, you will not be able to look back until the end. You will know the darkest side of this world, but this is your choice, and your mother can only respect you."
Xue Qingcheng sighed.
In order to practice martial arts, Bai Lan devoted her body and mind to knowledge. She stayed in the study for several consecutive days and did not come out, even eating and sleeping.
Three meals were sent in by the rain and snow. Just like this, a month passed, and the snow came again on this day.
"Lan'er, let me ask you another question, do you really want to practice martial arts?"
Xue Qingcheng looked at Bai Lan very seriously, but her gaze was pleading, as if Bai Lan was about to experience something terrible.
"I want to practice."
Bai Lan looked directly at Xue Qingcheng's gaze and said firmly.
"Haha, right? I understand. Let's go and go to a place with me."
Xue Qingcheng slowly turned around and walked directly out. Seeing this, Bai Lan quickly followed Xue Qingcheng's footsteps. She followed Xue Qingcheng away from Xue's house and entered the city area. Then she walked through two streets one by one and came to Dongcheng, and finally stopped outside the door of a magnificent mansion.
Bai Lan slowly raised her head and saw that the plaque of the mansion said "Jinghongwu Pavilion" in large golden characters.
"Martial Arts Hall? Mother, do you want me to practice here?"
Bai Lan looked at Xue Qingcheng in confusion.
"Practice? Haha, this is not a place to practice, this is a place to practice people. The proportion of male and female warriors in this world is very different. At the same time, it is many times more difficult for women to practice martial arts than men. Do you think practicing martial arts is as simple as playing weapons, and martial arts is another world. If you enter this path and not reach the peak, you cannot withdraw. Lan'er, mother asks you again, do you really have to practice martial arts?"
This time Xue Qingcheng asked Bai Lan with a pleading voice.
Bai Lan could also hear Xue Qingcheng's extremely sad mood, and she also knew that this martial arts path was not easy to walk, just like she was exploring society in her previous life. The dangers in society were invisible, and the dangers along the way of cultivation must be tangible.
"Mother, I need to consider my future. I don't want to be a vassal of men when I grow up, so no matter how dangerous the future is, I must control my own destiny."
Bai Lan bit her lip and said again.
"Haha, you are exactly the same when I was a child. It's really my daughter of Xue Qingcheng, but I want to tell you that in fact, ordinary life is something that many warriors can't wait to find someone you like to live an ordinary life safely, isn't it good to find someone you like to live a normal life?"
Xue Qingcheng smiled bitterly.
After saying that, she sighed and slowly walked into the Jinghong Martial Arts Hall.
"Hey! Ordinary is often a sin. People can be ordinary, but they cannot live."
Bai Lan said something in her heart, and then followed her in. When she entered the martial arts hall, Bai Lan saw many young girls wearing black practice robes. These children were not old, and the oldest was no more than twelve years old.
"Hey, Bai Lan, why are you here?"
At this moment, a young man who looked quite clever suddenly ran towards Bai Lan, and Bai Lan and Xue Qingcheng glanced at the boy.
"Oh, it's Ge Qing, you're in this martial arts hall, too."
Xue Qingcheng smiled and said, this child was the son of a woman named Ge who bought jewelry back then. Of course, the woman definitely did not have the surname Ge, but after the woman got married, she took her husband's surname.
Bai Lan also knew this boy, about the same age as her, but Bai Lan looked obviously half a head taller than him.
"Yes, my mother sent me not long ago. Aunt Xue, are you going to send Bai Lan to Jinghong Martial Arts Hall?"
Ge Qing asked with a smile.
"Well, you may be classmates in the future. Okay, I'll go see Master Miao first."
Xue Qingcheng smiled.
Ge Qing nodded, then kept smirking at Baili, while Bai Lan glanced at her faintly, and then followed Xue Qingcheng into the martial arts hall.
"Ge Qing, who is this sister? She is so beautiful, and those eyes are so beautiful."
At this moment, a cute little girl ran over and asked at Bai Lan.
"Oh, her name is Bai Lan, and her mother's name is Xue Qingcheng, but she is very rich. Because she often takes care of my mother's voice, I know them. Bai Lan is only eight years old, and her sister is as old as you."
Ge Qing smiled.
"Ah? I'm eight years old, I think she looks like she is twelve or three years old."
The girl asked in confusion.
Ge Qing touched his chin and shook his head. They were only a little bigger and couldn't figure out many things.
Not long after, Xue Qingcheng came to a burly and strong man. He was about two meters tall, with a tiger back and a bear waist, very majestic and looked fierce.
After seeing this person, Xue Qingcheng bowed his head and bowed slightly.
"I'm Xue Qingcheng, I've seen Master Miao."
Xue Qingcheng bowed lightly.
"Oh, it's the wife of the Xue family. You don't have to be polite. I wonder what you have to think about today?"
This person is Miao Ying, the master of Jinghong Martial Arts Hall. Don’t underestimate this person. This person is a strong man at the peak of martial arts. He was once the commander of the National Protection Legion of the Ming Empire. After resigning, he returned to Yanyu City to open this Jinghong Martial Arts Hall.
"Well, I'm sending my little girl to the Guiwu Academy to study."
Xue Qingcheng said lightly.
Miao Ying was stunned. In just eight years, Xue Qingcheng came to Yanyucheng and became very famous. He was beautiful and rich, so it was difficult not to become famous.
"Oh, Mrs. Xue, you have thought about it. You should know the rules of my Jinghongwu Pavilion. After entering my Jinghongwu Pavilion, many things are different from before."
Miao Ying glanced at Bai Lan, and at the same time, he kept beating the table with one finger.
"I understand that this is the little girl's request, and I can only gain weight."
Xue Qingcheng looked at Bai Lan and continued.
"Okay, stay the child and the wife can go back. In five years, I will come to the martial arts hall to pick up Miss Gui."
Miao Ying said lightly.
Bai Lan was stunned when she heard this. She looked at Xue Qingcheng in disbelief. Didn’t this tell him that she would stay in this Jinghong Martial Arts Hall for five years and that she is eight years old now, which means that she will have to stay until she is thirteen before she can leave.
"I understand, I say something to my daughter and leave."
Xue Qingcheng turned around expressionlessly, then walked to Bai Lan, then squatted down, and carried Bai Lan into his arms.
At this moment, Xue Qingcheng could no longer bear the emotions in his heart.
"Lan'er, mother begs you, go back with me, it's still time to regret it."
Bai Lan saw that Xue Qingcheng was actually crying, and her heart was trembling, but what Bai Lan decided would never change. Even if she had to face the separation from Xue Qingcheng for five years, she would still not give up.
"Mother, I have decided that I will not change my mind. Go back, and you will see a brand new me in five years."
Bai Lan said.
When Xue Qingcheng heard this, his whole body trembled. Then he raised his head and touched Bai Lan's face. Bai Lan also saw Xue Qingcheng's face full of tears. This was the first time Bai Lan saw Xue Qingcheng crying.
It was also Bai Lan's first intention to disobey Xue Qingcheng.
"Okay, mom is back, I'll pick you up in five years."
Xue Qingcheng said powerlessly, then slowly stood up, then calmed down his emotions, and finally slowly left the martial arts hall under Bai Lan's somewhat reluctant gaze until the gate of the martial arts hall was closed.
Bai Lan retracted her gaze when she saw the door closed and looked at Miao Ying.
Miao Ying walked in front of Bai Lan.
"Little girl, when I come to my Jinghong Martial Arts Hall, it means coming to hell. Here, you are not a noble lady, you are just a soldier under my command. Here, I am the heaven, and my words are the emperor's destiny, and you will regret coming here."
Miao Ying said condescendingly, but his seemingly domineering words seemed to be in Bai Lan's ears, as if they had a Sino-Japanese disease.
"boring."
Bai Lan said two words straight, but these two words made Miao Ying stunned for a long time.
"Haha, it's interesting. You are a little bit interesting. When other children were scared of this, they cried for a long time. You didn't react at all. But I hope you can still do this in the future. Shi Shan, taking the girl to change clothes, she is the last of this group of students."
Miao Ying laughed.
