"Qin Mengxue, this is a family order. You can refuse any other requests, but you cannot refuse this one. This is a top young talent from Jiangnan Province. Do you remember Wang Tianyu, who was killed by Yang Xi a few days ago? Wang Tianyu wanted to get on this list, but he wasn't even qualified. Even now, as a small team leader in the Wolf Warriors organization, he still doesn't qualify. Do you understand what this list signifies now? And that Yang Xi, if nominated for provincial young talent, might not even make this list."
"Alright, what exactly do you want to say?" Qin Mengxue was impatient.
"There's a great opportunity now. The Jiangnan Province Young Talent List, the very last one, the sixth position, wants to find a sword-attending maid in our Jinzhou City. All the major and minor families in Jinzhou City are vying for this spot. Come back quickly." After speaking, the Qin family's old master hung up the phone.
Qin Mengxue stomped her feet in frustration.
Qiao Xiaoyu walked up and asked, "What does your family's old master want you to go back for?"
"I don't know, he's acting crazy, talking about the Jiangnan Province Young Talent List, the sixth ranked one wants a sword-attending maid, and wants me to go back quickly. It's so bizarre."
"What does a sword-attending maid do?" Qiao Xiaoyu asked with confusion.
"When he practices his sword, she stays by his side, serving tea and pouring water. After he finishes practicing, she massages his legs and back to relax his muscles. Of course, when he desires it, she also has to satisfy him." Just then, Zhou Hong walked up and said. Zhou Hong's description was simple, direct, and explicit, causing both Qiao Xiaoyu and Qin Mengxue to blush.
"Can't you say it more tactfully!" Qiao Xiaoyu glared at Zhou Hong.
"That's the job, in essence. Hehe." Zhou Hong chuckled. He also felt speechless towards the Qin family's old master; the old man was too much of a troublemaker. Fortunately, Zhou Hong was no longer a live-in son-in-law to their Qin family.
"Then you heard everything?" Qin Mengxue looked at Zhou Hong and asked.
"Of course I heard."
"Then... do you want me to go back?" Qin Mengxue secretly hoped Zhou Hong would stop her.
"You're not my fiancée, so what does it matter to me whether you go back or not." Zhou Hong said with a laugh.
"Oh, oh." Qin Mengxue felt a bit disappointed.
"Mengxue, you're not really going to go back and sign up to be a sword-attending maid for him, are you?" Qiao Xiaoyu asked nervously.
"How could I."
"By the way, you have martial cultivation talent now, have you told your family?"
Qin Mengxue shook her head and said, "Not yet. I haven't even told my parents. I originally planned to surprise them after I achieved some results. I didn't expect to have already reached the eighteenth or nineteenth stage of a martial artist. But now I don't want to tell them anymore. I'll surprise them when I'm stronger." Qin Mengxue chuckled.
"Me too. My parents and grandfather don't know either, except for Zhou Hong." Qiao Xiaoyu also smiled.
"Then when do you plan to tell your family? If they knew you've reached the 18th stage of a martial artist, they'd be overjoyed."
"Hehe, I want to train a bit more. I'll give them an even bigger surprise when I'm more powerful." Qiao Xiaoyu said with an excited smile.
"Okay, okay. Then let's continue practicing on the sports field."
"Okay!"
Qiao Xiaoyu and Qin Mengxue linked arms and headed to the sports field again.
Zhou Hong watched their receding figures, feeling a bit speechless. He had thought they had told their families, but he didn't expect them to keep it a secret and not plan to reveal it. It seemed they had also found joy in hiding their strength.
Just then, Liu Hua, standing beside Zhou Hong, also chuckled and said, "Actually, I haven't told my family either. My parents still think I'm the same ordinary person as before."
Zhou Hong rolled his eyes at Liu Hua and asked, "How long do you plan to keep up this act?"
"Hahaha." Liu Hua burst into laughter.
And so, a day passed. In the evening, Zhou Hong, Qin Mengxue, Liu Hua, and others returned to their respective homes.
That night, Zhou Hong was eating in the Qiao family's dining room.
On the living room television, the local news was being broadcast.
The news reported that the president of the Provincial Martial Cultivation Association had visited the Martial Cultivation College of Jinzhou University that morning. He had even specially summoned Zhou Hong and provided him with guidance.
Then, a more significant piece of news was broadcast: Yan Fengcheng, the sixth ranked on the Jiangnan Province Young Talent List, would be choosing a sword-attending maid in Jinzhou City. This news instantly caused a stir in Jinzhou City, with families of all sizes rushing to sign up.
The news anchor also stated that for anyone who could seize this opportunity and become Yan Fengcheng's sword-attending maid, it would be a chance for them to rise.
Qiao Wanli saw the news and chuckled.
"Grandpa, what are you laughing about?" Qiao Xiaoyu quickly asked.
"I already knew about this this morning. An old friend of mine asked me to inform you quickly this morning." Qiao Wanli said with a smile.
"Grandpa, I'm Zhou Hong's fiancée, why notify me?" Qiao Xiaoyu sounded a bit angry. She felt this was an insult to Zhou Hong, as everyone knew what a sword-attending maid did.
"Don't be angry. I refused at the time. My friend said that any of the young talents from Jiangnan Province were countless times better than Zhou Hong. If you could become Yan Fengcheng's sword-attending maid, the benefits would far outweigh a blind date with Zhou Hong. However, I was not tempted at all."
Zhou Hong, sitting on the side and eating, laughed and asked, "Grandpa, you missed a great opportunity."
"What are you talking about? Who wants this opportunity? Besides, all the major and minor families in Jinzhou City, rich or poor, are sending their beautiful daughters to sign up. It's still unclear who will get this spot." Su Dan Novel Network
"Given Xiaoyu's beauty, she has a good chance. Grandpa, why don't you reconsider and send Xiaoyu to sign up? After all, he's a young talent from Jiangnan Province. There are only six people in the entire province who can make this list. The weakest among them has a strength of over level seventy martial artist, and they are all under twenty-four years old."
"Zhou Hong, if you keep saying this, I'll get angry." At this point, Qiao Xiaoyu glared at Zhou Hong indignantly, looking like she was about to cry.
"Hahaha, just kidding." Zhou Hong burst into laughter.
Qiao Wanli said, "This joke cannot be made lightly. When my old friend told me this this morning, I even got angry with him."
"Then thank you, Grandpa, for not trading me away." Zhou Hong said.
Qiao Xiaoyu angrily put down her bowl and said, "I'm not eating anymore."
After speaking, Qiao Xiaoyu quickly returned to her room.
Zhou Hong had originally planned to ask her to return to Tianhe Community early tonight, but it seemed she definitely wouldn't be going tonight.
