Chapter 250: 094 Dongwu Club_2
But for some reason I didn’t understand, it was shut down for two months.
The old hall master fell ill from worry and passed away after that.
Consequently, the Xingyi Martial Arts School plummeted, and all the students flocked to the Jingfeng Taekwondo Gym.
After finishing his story, Jian Zhe scratched his head, “However, Hall Master Jin is now working on a construction site. People around say that Hall Master Jin is very skilled, a martial artist of the sixth dan. He could be a coach in any martial arts school, I don’t know why he chooses to do hard labor.”
“So what if he’s a sixth dan? What’s wrong with doing hard labor?” Bai Lian glanced at him and leisurely evaluated him, “Old-fashioned.”
Jian Zhe was stunned for a moment, then reflected, “That does seem right.”
But if it were him, he probably couldn’t let go of his pride to do that.
“We have an elder in our family who didn’t study hard when he was young, instead, he learned to play the guzheng,” Jian Zhe recalled this matter, “My great-grandfather scolded him, saying he was ‘a man with feminine tendencies’, and then his mother took him and moved out…”
Bai Lian nodded in agreement, very much approving of his mother’s course of action.
Now, my grandfather and others want to include him in the family shrine, but they can’t even get an appointment to see that elder,” Jian Zhe raised his eyebrows.
The next day, Friday.
School let out in the afternoon.
Bai Lian went to the Zhang Family’s place where two students from class fifteen were helping Zhang’s mother move some goods at the front door – there wasn’t much, most of it had been taken care of yesterday by Weng Qi and Bai Lian.
Bai Lian went straight to the backyard.
In the backyard, Yan Lu was sitting on the steps, reading a book about “Great Yong”. The director hadn’t distributed scripts or character roles. The audition would consist of randomly selected scenes for on-the-spot performances.
Understanding the historical figures was essential for fitting into the characters.
“Miss Bai,” Sister Xin stood up from the steps and looked behind Bai Lian, not seeing anyone else, “Are you alone?”
Bai Lian walked in and placed her backpack next to Yan Lu on the steps, “Yes.”
Yan Lu also put down her book and stood up.
The book had been turned to that page, with the black title—
[The Death of Bai’s Mother]
“Then… where’s the teacher?” Sister Xin opened her mouth to ask.
Bai Lian’s gaze lightly drifted towards the long spear leaning against the corner of the wall.
The black spear shaft, a little over four feet long, with a silver diamond-shaped spearhead, below which hung a red tassel.
In the setting sun, the lazy shadow of the spear shaft stretched out across the yard.
