Chapter 83: I Accept the Challenge
Wei Yuanxing walked into the ward and placed the dinner on the table. He looked at Zhan Yihan and Su Jinyue and said, “I’ve already asked my grandpa for his opinion. He said that he can give both of the spots to you guys, but Su Jinyue needs to accept a challenge and win the spot before he can give it to her.” He understood what his grandfather meant. His grandfather was doing this for him. Otherwise, there would definitely be people in the family who wouldn’t accept it.
Zhan Yihan looked at Su Jinyue questioningly. He completely understood Old Master Wei’s request and knew the meaning behind it.
“I accept the challenge,” Su Jinyue said without hesitation. She would never miss such a good opportunity.
“Then I’ll call Grandpa right now.” Wei Yuanxing eagerly took out his mobile phone and called him. He knew that Su Jinyue would agree.
There were two rings on the other end of the phone before an aged voice sounded, “Young Master Yuan Xing!”
“Uncle Zhong, where’s my grandpa?” Wei Yuanxing asked. Uncle Zhong had been with his grandfather for more than forty years. He had changed from a young lad to a white-haired old man. What remained unchanged was his loyalty.
Uncle Zhong glanced outside the door. “The Old Master is boxing in the courtyard. Young Master, please wait a moment.”
“Alright, I’ll call back later,” said Wei Yuanxing. He wanted to personally tell his grandfather this news.
After Old Master Wei finished boxing, he took the towel from Uncle Zhong and wiped the sweat off his face. “Was that a call from Yuanxing?”
“Yes, Old Master. Young Master knew that you were boxing and said that he would call you later,” Uncle Zhong answered respectfully. He had accompanied the Old Master all the way from the war-torn era. He knew very well how many times the Old Master had been on the brink of death. It was also because of this that the current Wei family existed. If someone asked him who the person he respected the most in his life was, it had to be the Old Master.
Old Master Wei had just picked up a cup of tea when his phone rang again. He nodded at Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong picked up the phone. “Young Master, wait a moment!” He handed the phone to Old Master Wei. “Old Master!”
Old Master Wei took the phone. “Tell me.” He knew that the reason Yuanxing had called back now was definitely because Su Jinyue had accepted the challenge.
“Grandpa! Su Jinyue agreed to accept the challenge.” Wei Yuanxing’s voice was filled with excitement. He was also looking forward to seeing how Su Jinyue would take on the challenge.
“Bring her to your Blue Flame Clubhouse tomorrow morning. I will make the arrangements,” Old Master Wei said. He wanted to meet Su Jinyue and see what ability she had to make Zhan Yihan care so much about her.
He remembered that there were many people who wanted to be Zhan Yihan’s matchmaker. Furthermore, the people they wanted to introduce to Zhan Yihan were all young ladies from prestigious families. Although they did not dare to say that those young ladies from prestigious families were outstanding, they had definitely received a good education. Zhan Yihan was a rare talent and an ancient martial arts practitioner. Naturally, many people wanted to recruit him under their wing.
Wei Yuanxing put down the phone and looked at Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan. “My grandfather asked me to bring Su Jinyue to the Blue Flame Clubhouse tomorrow to accept the challenge.”
“Okay!” Su Jinyue nodded in agreement.
“I’ll go with you guys,” Zhan Yihan said. He was definitely going to go with them, as he was worried about Jin Yue going alone.
“Can you do that with your injury?” Wei Yuanxing looked at Zhan Yihan’s bandaged right arm.
“Of course!” Zhan Yihan affirmed. If not for that important person’s order, he would have returned to his side long ago. However, things are different now. Jinyue was here to accompany him.
“Alright, I’ll come pick you guys up tomorrow morning.” Wei Yuanxing picked up the clean lunch box on the table and walked out. He was already looking forward to tomorrow’s challenge. He believed that Su Jinyue would definitely bring him a surprise.
Zhan Yihan reached out to hold Su Jinyue’s hand, his long fingers gently caressing the back of her hand. His deep eyes smiled as he looked at Su Jinyue. “Rest early today. Tomorrow, you need to be in your best condition to receive the challenge. You will definitely pass.” He firmly believed.
“I want to cultivate tonight,” Su Jinyue said. She was not nervous, but she wanted to be more confident.
“Okay!” Zhan Yihan nodded. His ward was different from other wards. It had absolute privacy, and they did not need to worry about anyone barging in in the middle of the night.
The night passed quickly. When the sky outside the window lit up, Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan opened their eyes at the same time. The two of them turned to look at each other and smiled. After a night of cultivation, they did not feel tired at all. Instead, they felt more energized than if they had slept.
“I’ll go wash up. Wei Yuanxing should be here soon.” Su Jinyue got up and walked towards the bathroom.
“Let’s go together.” Zhan Yihan smiled and followed her. He liked the feeling of brushing his teeth and washing his face with her. It felt like they were already husband and wife.
Not long after they finished washing up, Wei Yuanxing walked into the ward with breakfast in hand.
“The challenge will be held at nine o’clock. After breakfast, we’ll go to the Blue Flame Clubhouse,” Wei Yuanxing said. He had woken up early today and was still full of anticipation. He was itching for Su Jinyue to accept the challenge now.
After breakfast, the three of them immediately drove towards the Blue Flame Clubhouse.
The journey was very smooth. However, when they were about to reach the Blue Flame Clubhouse, there was a stretch of road that was difficult to navigate. It was very bumpy.
“Does your wound hurt?” Su Jinyue looked at Zhan Yihan worriedly. Even though she had already started cultivating, she still felt uncomfortable from the bumpy road, not to mention that Yihan was still injured.
“I’m fine. How do you feel?” Zhan Yihan asked.
Su Jinyue smiled and shook her head. “I’m fine.” She was just not used to it for a moment. After getting used to it, she felt much better.
“Soon. We’ll be there in ten minutes at most.” Wei Yuanxing slowed down the car slightly. He had wanted to arrive at Blue Flame Clubhouse faster, so he had unconsciously sped up. He had actually forgotten that Yihan was still injured.
