The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 494

Chapter 494: Crisis at 195, Brother Jiang Returns (Second Update)_1

Ming Dongheng had witnessed Bai Lian’s footwork.

Although Bai Lian usually appeared lazy and indifferent, sometimes Ming Dongheng felt she gave him even more pressure than his own teacher did.

Not to mention those few moves she executed while standing in stance, despite practicing for a long time, Ming Dongheng still hadn’t achieved half of her proficiency.

His teacher was an eighth-dan, and Bai Lian, in Ming Dongheng’s opinion, should also be at least eighth-dan. Perhaps her young age meant she had the ability but not the seniority, so at least she should be seventh-dan.

“Me?” As the car stopped, Bai Lian looked towards the nearby bus stop, unhurried, “Theoretically, I have eight or nine dan.”

“Theoretically?” Ming Dongheng pressed a button, and the rear door automatically opened.

He didn’t understand what Bai Lian meant by “theoretically.”

Bai Lian got out of the car, very calmly, “Because I’ve never taken the test.”

Ming Dongheng: “…”

Ming Dongheng was somewhat frustrated, why wouldn’t you take the test?!

Looking at Chen Jingyu, Yu Hongyi, and the others, every one of them seemed eager to test twice a year.

“What’s the matter?” Bai Lian stood outside the car window, speaking while also glancing at the mobile phone in her right hand.

She was probably memorizing vocabulary.

Ming Dongheng’s expression was always cold, and he replied without a change in his demeanor, “I just feel it doesn’t match your temperament.”

Bai Lian: “…”

By coincidence, the bus also arrived, and Bai Lian boarded.

Ming Dongheng left the car where it was, watching the bus drive away before taking out his phone to report to Jiang Fulai about Miss Bai coming to print and then immediately leaving.

After finishing his report and just putting down the phone, it rang. It was Jin Kai.

The current hall master of Xingyi Martial Arts School.

While starting the car, Ming Dongheng pressed the hands-free button, “Hall Master Jin, do you only have fifth-dan?”

Bai Lian was unwilling to take the test; surely, she had her reasons, like studying hard.

But Hall Master Jin was from a martial arts family; they had run a martial arts school since he was a child. Why hadn’t he taken the tests?

After spending so much time together, Ming Dongheng knew Jin Kai’s skills far exceeded fifth-dan.

“You already know? Yes, I only have fifth-dan,” Jin Kai was startled and then chuckled bitterly, “After the martial arts school closed down, I went to work on construction sites and didn’t seriously test for any level. I tested last year, and now I’m still at fifth-dan.”

His real skills were definitely higher than fifth-dan.

But to continue testing for higher levels, he had to wait until his fifth-dan reached the six-year mark before he could test for the sixth-dan.

He had missed over a decade; this wasn’t something he could make up for in a short time.

Now, with certificates and reputation being significant, even if Jin Kai had the skills of a sixth-dan or seventh-dan, without a certificate, he couldn’t convince outsiders.

Ming Dongheng drove slowly, “Besides you, how are the other masters doing?”

“Two fourth-dan and one fifth-dan, the rest are all third-dan,” Jin Kai answered.

They all had sat for the tests only after starting at Xingyi Martial Arts School last year. Before that, as the martial arts school declined, they were busy with their livelihoods and never imagined, under Secretary Zhou’s suppression, the martial arts school could reopen, so they didn’t continue testing.

“Come Here Friend” went viral, and netizens scrutinized everything. Xingyi Martial Arts School already had students who came across similar video posts complaining about the school’s teachers and hall master as being average with not even a sixth-dan instructor.

They even said their spear performance wasn’t as good as Yan Lu’s.

Many net users believed Xingyi Martial Arts School should live up to its name and felt it was even inferior to Jingfeng Taekwondo.

Meanwhile, the people from Jingfeng Taekwondo took this opportunity to market their Muay Thai eighth-dan instructor online.

Jin Kai regretted for the first time not taking his levels more seriously.

“This month is the recruitment season,” Jin Kai said gravely, “I’m afraid they might be influenced by online chatter and, just like before, all go to Jingfeng Taekwondo. Miss Bai would be very disappointed, wouldn’t she?”

“Let’s think of another way,” Ming Dongheng squinted, “perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as it seems.”
