Chapter 124: Hardworking Talent, Becoming Famous in One Battle

After getting the money, Zhao Ya was very happy. He wanted to hand over part of it to the martial arts school, but Lu Dingtai refused.

Lu Dingtai smiled and said: "This is what you won through a bet. It has nothing to do with the martial arts school. You should keep it yourself. But I wonder why you are so greedy for money. Didn't you just earn more than a thousand by catching that jade butterfly?" Two?”

"Hey, who would think it's too much money!" Zhao Ya said with a smile.

Miao Shaocheng on the side suddenly said: "Junior Brother Zhao is so greedy for money, maybe he is planning to save money to marry a wife."

After saying that, he burst into laughter.

Smiling, he found that people were not smiling, but were looking at him, and he couldn't help but stopped in embarrassment.

"What? Is what I said inappropriate?" Miao Shaocheng asked strangely.

Xu De coughed and then said behind Miao Shaocheng: "Miss Zui'er, you are here!"

Miao Shaocheng turned his head stiffly and found Zui'er standing not far away.

"Zui... Miss Zui'er." Miao Shaocheng was extremely embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Zui'er didn't care at all. It was as if he didn't hear what Miao Shaocheng just said. He smiled and nodded, and then ran to Zhao Ya's side.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Ya asked.

"I heard that you were competing with others, and I was worried, so I came over to have a look." Zui'er whispered.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, and I even won a thousand taels of gold." Zhao Ya raised the gold ticket in his hand and said with a smile.

"I'll buy you something delicious tonight. Tell me, what do you want to eat?"

Zui'er blushed and shook his head, "I don't know."

"You don't know what you want to eat?" Zhao Ya said with a dumb smile.

"I like to eat whatever you buy..."

Lu Dingtai coughed suddenly, and then said, "It's getting late, I have to go back to sleep."

Xu De quickly agreed, "Yeah, I also remembered that I still have some unfinished things at home."

Shen Dao slapped his forehead, "Miss Qingqing asked me to find a book for her. I almost forgot about it. Junior Brother Miao, please come with me."

After that, regardless of whether Miao Shaocheng agreed or not, he dragged him away.

In an instant, all the senior brothers left, and only Zhao Ya and Zui'er were left in the room.

"Why are they...all gone?"

"I don't know, maybe it's because you are here."

Zui'er's face turned redder and redder, like a ripe apple, making people want to take a bite.

At night.

After Zhao Ya finished practicing, he sat in the courtyard and began to think about the battle with Xia Cunyi during the day.

This is his habit.

After each battle, a summary will be conducted to discover one's shortcomings.

It started well, and the success made Xia Cunyi feel contemptuous, but he still showed it too obviously, that is, Xia Cunyi was too careless, otherwise he would definitely find out the clues.

It seems that I have to behave more naturally in the future.

Zhao Ya silently noted this, and then thought of the key move.

Without the help of liver qi and blood, that big monument-slamming move would not have been able to defeat Xia Cunyi so cleanly.

This made Zhao Ya very satisfied with the liver's talent of blood sea, and gave it a very vivid name.

Explosive liver.

At this time, Zhao Ya did not know that the battle during the day had quietly spread and caused quite a stir.

Xia Cunyi has been famous for many years and is Yuan Chenfeng's favorite disciple. With the strength of Half-Step Four Realm, he is considered a master even in the entire county.

But such a character was actually defeated by a boy under twenty years old.

Moreover, he failed miserably and broke an arm in public.

Once the news spread, many people were naturally shocked.

Even the name Zhao Ya spread throughout the world again and became the subject of discussion by many people.

As a result, Zhao Ya became famous almost overnight.

At that moment, everyone knew that Lu Dingtai had acquired a new young apprentice with extraordinary talents, and he was even more powerful. He could actually defeat the fourth realm in half a step with the strength of the peak of the three realms.

Even the two children, Big Eyed Deng and Er Qiangzi, heard the news and came over to congratulate Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya had nothing to do with these rumors.

Although he didn't want to appear in the public eye in such a high-profile manner, it also went against his purpose of developing in a low-key manner.

But at that time, Xia Cunyi wanted to fight him by name. If he didn't dare to challenge him, then he might as well just stop messing around.

Fortunately, he won one thousand taels of gold in this battle, otherwise he would have suffered a huge loss.

As for these rumors from the outside world, since they cannot be changed, Zhao Ya has no choice but to let them go.

But he still underestimated the impact of this storm.

On this day, he was practicing Qigong at home, and an invitation suddenly arrived in his hands.

The invitation was very simple, with only a few sentences.

I heard that Mr. Zhao is extremely talented and a rising star in martial arts, so I will prepare a small amount of wine at home tomorrow night and ask Mr. Zhao to come and enjoy it.

The handwriting is beautiful and elegant, obviously written by a woman.

really.

There are three words written at the end of the invitation.

Shang Luoluo.

Zhao Ya frowned slightly.

Shang Luoluo?

Never heard of this name.

But since the surname is Shang, is it related to the county governor Shang Jingchuan?

Zhao Ya looked at the person who sent the message with this question.

"What is the relationship between this merchant girl and the county governor?"

"In reply to Mr. Zhao, my young lady is the daughter of the county governor." The maid who delivered the letter smiled.

Zhao Ya nodded, "I understand, you go back."

"Yes, please come when the time comes."

The maid left after saying that.

Zhao Ya found his fourth brother Xu De and told him about this.

When he heard Zhao Ya say that he had received an invitation from Shang Luoluo, Xu De couldn't help laughing, and then he also took out an invitation.

"Brother Xu, did you receive one too?" Zhao Ya was a little surprised.

"Yes, this Miss Shang will hold such a cocktail party every three months, and all the people in the county city who are above the second realm, under the age of thirty, and have some reputation will attend."

"Brother Zhao, you are now famous, so it's not surprising to receive an invitation."

"Will Brother Shen and Brother Miao also attend?"

"Of course they also received an invitation, but Brother Shen probably won't go. After all, he has already entered the fourth realm, and there is no point in attending such a cocktail party. As for Brother Miao... he will definitely go."

At the end, Xu De smiled very ambiguously, and then patted Zhao Ya on the shoulder.

"Brother Zhao, I think it's good to go and have a look. After all, this is a rare opportunity to see the strength of these young talents in the county city. It can be regarded as a broadening of horizons. And people from major businesses will also participate at that time."

"What do people from major businesses come for?" Zhao Ya asked.

"You don't know this, right? Nowadays, the world is in chaos, and these businesses will inevitably encounter various troubles. Sometimes the only way to solve them is through force."

"And top masters like Master and others can't be bought with money, and the fourth realm is too expensive, so people like you and me who are above the third realm, not yet the fourth realm, and not too old have become the first choice."

"To put it bluntly, the business pays us to do things for them. The advantage is that the bounty is higher than the bounty mission. Some even use some rare treasures as commissions. The disadvantage is that some missions are more dangerous," Zhao Ya suddenly realized it.

Isn't this a job fair in the future?

But when Xu De said that some would use rare treasures as commissions, Zhao Ya couldn't help but become interested.

After all, a treasure that Xu De calls rare must be very special.

So Zhao Ya nodded and said, "I understand, Senior Brother Xu, we will go together then."

"Okay, call Senior Brother Miao tomorrow night, and the three of us will go together."

In the evening of the next day, Xu De really came with Miao Shaocheng.

Miao Shaocheng was obviously dressed up today. His rough face was much smoother, his hair was neatly combed, and he changed into a new set of clothes.

Zhao Ya was a little confused, but Xu De kept winking at him, so he didn't ask.

After telling Zui'er not to wait for him and locking the door and going to bed early, Zhao Ya followed Xu De and the others to the Shang Mansion.

The Shang Mansion is located at the east end of Shizi Street, very close to the government office.

When Zhao Ya and the others arrived, many carriages were parked in front of the door, and it was obvious that many people had arrived in advance.

The servants waiting in front of the door hurried to greet Xu De, Zhao Ya and the other three when they saw them.

"Master Xu, Master Miao, Master Zhao, please follow me." Zhao Ya was a little surprised that this servant actually recognized him. As if guessing what he was thinking, the servant smiled. "Master Zhao is now a famous figure in our county. Although I have never seen him, I guessed it when I saw your age and demeanor, and you came with Master Xu and others." The servant spoke clearly and logically, and it was quite refreshing. Even a servant was like this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but have a little interest in Shang Luoluo. Soon the three of them were led to a spacious courtyard. The courtyard was brightly lit, and even the trees were hung with lanterns, and surrounded by embroidered curtains to block the cold wind of the autumn night. There were tables and chairs in the courtyard, and on the table were all kinds of delicacies for everyone to enjoy. At this time, many people were already gathered around the table to drink and talk. When Xu De and others came in, some people hurriedly stood up to greet them. "Senior Brother Xu!"

"Third Brother Miao!"

Some called him "Senior Brother", some called him "Brother", and some called him "Brother".

But many people sat there without moving, and some even showed disdain on their faces.

Obviously, some of these people who came were friends with Dingtai Martial Arts School, and some were enemies of Dingtai Martial Arts School.

Zhao Ya stood behind Xu De and didn't want to attract attention, but many people guessed his identity as soon as he came in.

"This must be the Senior Brother Zhao who defeated Xia Cunyi!" Someone greeted with a smile.

This greeting immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Many people turned their heads to look at Zhao Ya.

When they saw that Zhao Ya, who was in the limelight recently, was so young, many people's faces changed slightly.

Zhao Ya sighed in his heart, knowing that he couldn't hide, so he smiled slightly and nodded.

"Brother Zhao, you are awesome! I have long disliked Xia Cunyi, but unfortunately he is only a half-step into the fourth realm, and I cannot beat him. I did not expect that you would defeat him." Another person came forward and said with great interest.

Zhao Ya was speechless and could only smile.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the embroidered tent, and then a woman walked in gracefully.

This woman was extremely beautiful, especially with her extremely fair skin. She was wearing a moon-white skirt, and when she walked in gracefully, it really seemed as if she was covered in moonlight.

When he saw this woman, Miao Shaocheng suddenly became very nervous, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and his face gradually turned red.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya finally understood why Xu De winked at him before.

With Miao Shaocheng's current appearance, he was just short of engraving the words "I like you" on his forehead.

And there was no need to guess the identity of this woman. She must be the initiator of this cocktail party, Shang Luoluo, the daughter of County Magistrate Shang Jingchuan.
