Half an hour later, Jian Ai got into Chi Yang’s car.
However, this time, she could feel that the temperature in the car was strangely low. It was not the cold air in the car.
Her gaze landed on Xiao Zhen in the front seat and then at Si Yuehan, who was sitting in the backseat with her. Jian Ai understood.
Bai Zhou initially wanted to let the twelve guards meet in advance previously, but Si Yuehan didn’t appear because he was afraid that Jian Ai would discover him. Therefore, today was also the first time Xiao Zhen and Si Yuehan met.
The two of them had indifferent personalities. Not to mention that they cherished words like gold, but they were mainly expressionless.
Jian Ai laughed dryly and leaned against the back of the front passenger seat. She looked at Xiao Zhen’s side profile and said, “Chi Yang explained everything to you, right?”
Xiao Zhen answered calmly, “Yes.”
He had never interfered in other people’s business and had turned a blind eye to a lot of things. However, Xiao Zhen still obeyed Jian Ai’s orders.
This was a rule branded in the hearts of the twelve guards.
The journey was a little far, and with the oppressive atmosphere in the car, Jian Ai felt the journey was long.
Jian Ai wanted to mediate the situation, but it was too difficult to talk to these two people. In the end, she targeted Chi Yang and asked him to chat with her the entire way. Only then did time pass faster.
It was almost noon when they entered the North City District. Many students in various training attires were walking in groups on the street of Longxing Martial Arts School.
These people were obviously from the nearby martial arts schools. From their clothes, most of them learned Taekwondo. Most of the martial arts schools served lunch, but many children liked to eat outside.
The car stopped in front of Longxing Martial Arts School. They walked up the stone steps like the last time and shook the bell in front of the door.
Unlike the last time when someone took a long time to open the door, the door was pulled open from the inside quickly this time.
The person who opened the door was still Li Mobai.
“Senior Brother Mobai!” Jian Ai quickly said when she saw Li Mobai.
When he saw them, Li Mobai smiled. “You’re here. Come in quickly.”
After entering, Li Mobai’s gaze instinctively landed on Xiao Zhen. This was because last time, there was only Jian Ai, Si Yuehan, and Chi Yang. The extra Xiao Zhen this time was probably the doctor Jian Ai mentioned who could treat his master’s leg.
“Master is in the martial arts arena in the inner courtyard. The disciples are all here today. Follow me in,” Li Mobai said.
Jian Ai nodded and followed Li Mobai through the front yard and down the front hall into the inner courtyard.
At this moment, there were three men and a woman practicing in the inner courtyard. They looked to be around Jian Ai’s age.
However…
“Are these all the disciples of the martial arts school?” Jian Ai couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.
Even if Senior Brother Mobai and Eldest Senior Brother were included, there were only six people in total.
Li Mobai looked embarrassed, but he still nodded honestly. “That’s right. Including you and Si Yuehan, our martial arts school has eight disciples.”
Jian Ai and the rest: “Eh.”
Although she knew that the martial arts school was bleak, she did not expect it to be like this.
The martial arts arena was huge. The few disciples scattered in the yard made the martial arts arena seem even emptier.
The others naturally noticed Jian Ai and the other unfamiliar faces at the first moment, but it did not distract them, let alone stop. They were still focused.
This was the first time Jian Ai had seen such a scene. It was like the martial arts scene she had seen on television, but in front of her were children her age.
