Chapter 295: Chapter 156: The Grandmaster’s Fury, Pre-meditated Murder, An Internet Earthquake!_2

”Sure, that sounds good!”

Turns out he’s doing the same thing as Uncle Master Liu Pan, being an instructor. That’s totally fine then, Zhang Beixing thought. As long as he wasn’t coming over to recruit me into the military. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to refuse. After all, the man is a colonel from the Shishi Military District who made a special trip to my home to invite me. If I were to reject him flat out, it would be incredibly disrespectful and awkward.

Hearing Zhang Beixing nod in agreement, Huo Honghao’s face broke into a smile. Then he started to chat with Zhang Beixing.

Seeing the two converse so happily, Zhang Beixing’s parents and relatives, who were standing to the side, were all stunned.

This is a colonel! A person we normally couldn’t even dream of meeting! And now, here he is, sitting with Zhang Beixing, chatting and laughing. He even personally invited Zhang Beixing to the Shishi Military District to spar and exchange pointers with the soldiers under his command. Damn... Is this what being an internet celebrity is like? Can internet celebrities really have this kind of influence?!

Watching Zhang Beixing and Huo Honghao, everyone had similar thoughts, feeling utterly astounded.

Zhang Beixing’s aunts exchanged glances, helplessness evident in each other’s eyes, and bitter smiles appeared on their faces.

Originally, seeing Zhang Beixing’s success as a minor internet celebrity, we were thinking of having our children support each other a bit. Now it seems we were the ones reaching too high! Even though the idea is still mutual support, it’s no longer mutual. It’s Zhang Beixing unilaterally helping us! His achievements are just too immense. Even if we wanted to help him, we wouldn’t be able to in the slightest!

”I never expected that in just a few months, Beixing would have come this far,” this thought flashed through the minds of Zhang Beixing’s relatives simultaneously, a mix of extreme envy and admiration filling them.

As for Zhang Beixing’s male and female cousins, seeing this scene left them continuously shocked. They were only about four years apart in age from Zhang Beixing; they were peers.

And now, Zhang Beixing, their peer, had achieved so much.

Comparing the two, the gap is like heaven and earth. Damn... How did you do it? We’re all from the same generation, so why are you so outstanding? Is this the legendary ’other people’s kid’?

The cousins had a premonition: after they returned home today, Zhang Beixing would become an inescapable nightmare in their lives. In the future, no matter what happened, their parents would undoubtedly bring up Zhang Beixing for comparison.

And we’ll have no way to refute it, because it’s the truth! This is so frustrating!

At that moment, they suddenly understood the old saying: ”Comparisons are odious!”

Nearby, Zhang Beixing’s mother and father had recovered from their shock. They looked at Zhang Beixing, their hearts filled with utter bafflement. However, since the current situation wasn’t appropriate for questions, they didn’t say much. Instead, their gazes shifted to the middle-aged men who, since Huo Honghao’s arrival, had been standing respectfully nearby, conversing in low tones, much like their own family members. Their eyes flickered.

If Beixing can chat with someone of a colonel’s rank... then what about these people Beixing calls his colleagues? Could it be that what they said earlier was all true?

This thought flashed through the minds of Zhang Beixing’s parents, and the implication startled them. Their gazes fell on the table laden with gifts.

If it’s all true, then this tableful of things...

”Damn!” Zhang Beixing’s father couldn’t help but exclaim. I originally thought these people were just boasting, but now it looks like they actually have the power and aren’t bluffing at all!

Amidst Zhang Beixing and Huo Honghao’s conversation, time flew by, and half an hour quickly passed.

Huo Honghao noticed it was getting late and prepared to leave.

Zhang Beixing didn’t try to detain him. After all, the man is a colonel. The fact that he could come this time means he already took time out of his busy schedule. There are probably a ton of troublesome matters waiting for him back at the military district. I definitely can’t delay him.

Zhang Beixing’s father and mother clearly understood this as well and also didn’t try to make him stay. They simply saw Huo Honghao to the door and watched as he got into the military vehicle.

Watching the vehicle disappear at the end of the alley, Zhang Beixing’s parents were filled with a myriad of emotions.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged men who had come to visit Zhang Beixing saw that someone was leaving, and that someone was a major figure like Huo Honghao. They felt it was time for them to take their leave as well.

We came this time to visit Zhang Beixing and get on good terms with him. Now that the visit is over and we’ve become fairly well acquainted, continuing to hang around and make awkward small talk would be pointless. It might even annoy Zhang Beixing and ruin all our previous efforts.

Thus, they all said their goodbyes to Zhang Beixing and departed.

Once these people had also left, Zhang Beixing turned to Liu Yi. Remembering that Liu Yi still hadn’t told him the reason for his injury from half a month ago, he asked, ”Speaking of which, Master, you were perfectly fine half a month ago. How did you suddenly get injured? What happened?”

”Oh, that?” Liu Yi said, waving his hand dismissively. ”It was nothing much. Just got into a fight and got beaten up. Old grievances.”

”What the hell? Your injuries were from someone beating you up? Wait, why didn’t you tell me about something like this? Who hit you? Let’s go deal with them right now!”
