Chapter 471: Rent a House Nearby
“Hi, my name is Yu Yue. I’m your Third Senior Brother.”
“My name is Ning Zexuan. I’m your Fifth Senior Brother!”
“And me. My name is Wu Shuo. I was originally the youngest junior brother. Now, call me senior brother too.”
The boys fought to introduce themselves. In the end, the only girl smiled and said, “Hello, I’m Qi Wei, your senior sister.”
Such a form of addressing had existed in martial arts schools for a hundred years. Although it was now a modern society, they still called each other senior and junior brothers and sisters.
Everyone chimed in. Fortunately, there were only a few people, so they did not find it noisy.
Jian Ai looked at the passionate fellow disciples in front of her with a faint smile on her face. Everyone was so friendly that it differed from what she had imagined.
She remembered their names one by one. After they introduced themselves, Jian Ai said, “Hello, senior brothers and sister. My name is Jian Ai. I just celebrated my fifteenth birthday a few days ago.”
Knowing that Si Yuehan didn’t like to talk, she helped him say, “His name is Si Yuehan. You can call him Si Yue. He’s fourteen years old!”
Be it their entry time or age, the two of them were younger than the others, so naturally, they became the youngest junior sister and junior brother.
“Xiao Ai will be ranked seventh in the future. Si Yue is the youngest, so he’s eighth,” Li Mobai said with a smile.
It had been a long time since the martial arts school accepted new disciples, so these people were especially excited and happy. They grabbed Jian Ai and asked around. When they learned that Jian Ai was from the South City District, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
“Isn’t South City very poor?”
Ning Zexuan was straightforward and said in surprise.
In the next second, he felt that he had said something wrong and quickly said to Jian Ai, “Junior Sister, I don’t mean anything else. I’m just a little surprised.”
Jian Ai smiled indifferently. “It’s okay. My family only earned some money after doing business recently. Moreover, South City is going to be demolished soon. My family already bought a house in Haicheng District and we are renovating it.”
As soon as Jian Ai explained, they understood.
“Isn’t South City too far from the martial arts school? We have to stand like a post at five in the morning,” Qi Wei said worriedly.
Standing like a post was also known as doing the horse stance. It was a daily lesson for those who practiced martial arts. It was mainly to train the stability of one’s lower body.
It was Jian Ai’s turn to be shocked.
“What… what time?”
Qi Wei repeated, “Five in the morning.”
Jian Ai blinked. It would take almost an hour for Chi Yang to drive from South City to the martial arts school. If they started training at five in the morning, wouldn’t she have to wake up at two or three in the morning if she didn’t have a car?
Even if Chi Yang picked her up every morning, she would have to wake up at around three in the morning.
“Martial artists pay attention to breathing and expiration. The morning air is the most refreshing and beneficial to the body, so we wake up early in the morning to practice martial arts,” Yu Yue explained.
Wu Shuo nodded as well. “This is also what people who practice martial arts in ancient times said about ‘starting to dance’ when they hear the chickens. It would be the time to practice martial arts.”
Jian Ai knew it was normal to wake up at five in the morning to practice martial arts. She often woke up at five in the morning.
However, she lived in South City. If she wanted to reach the martial arts school at five in the morning, she would have to wake up before four in the morning.
With this thought in mind, she couldn’t help but look at Si Yuehan.
Si Yuehan lived at Bai Zhou’s place in Haicheng District, which was nearer to the martial arts school.
“We can rent a house nearby,” Si Yuehan said expressionlessly.
