89: Chapter 89 Lu Xiaohu's Invitation

The next day, as soon as he arrived at school, Tang Long first sought out Professor He to buy ten spirit incense sticks.

The first two periods were Breathing Technique classes, and time passed exceptionally quickly.

By the end of the second class, Professor He organized another Qi Flow test and was surprised to discover that Tang Long's Qi Flow had already reached nearly one hundred.

Professor He was overjoyed and immediately showered him with praise.

"Look at this, what does it mean to be diligent and strive for progress? I think Student Tang Long has vividly interpreted this phrase!"

"When he first arrived in class, his Qi Flow was only 58. And now? In just three short days, it has already reached a level of 98!"

"Although there is still a gap from our class average and the promotion line, based on this rate of progress, I dare to assert that before the final exams, he will definitely be able to catch up with the pack, and perhaps even surpass many people!"

"Hmph, it's simply ridiculous. There are actually still people among you who look down on him, thinking he is an outsider, right?"

"The facts have already proven that Tang Long is more outstanding than the vast majority of you! At the same time, it has also proven that the spirit incense I sell you is extremely effective!"

"Student Tang Long bought another ten sticks this morning, and I advise certain people to behave themselves. Otherwise, when he truly surpasses you, you will be losing face for the people of Song City!"

"Class dismissed!"

As soon as Professor He left, the classroom immediately became noisy.

Many students cast strange looks at Tang Long, especially the group with Wei Lin.

"Damn it, this Tang Long is too hateful."

"He wants to curry favor with old He, but we all end up getting scolded."

"Young Master Wei, can you organize something to teach this country bumpkin a lesson?"

"Keep your voice down, Senior Lu is here again!"

Everyone looked up and sure enough, they saw Lu Xiaohu peeking from outside the classroom, and Tang Long quickly walked out. Immediately after, Jiang Xiaolan and two other girls followed him out.

"Young Master Wei, that kid is getting more and more arrogant, this can't go on!"

"He has Senior Lu from the White Clothing Society backing him, he doesn't take us seriously at all."

"Heh, the future sister-in-law is getting more and more curious about him..."

Wei Lin kept a sullen face and remained silent for a while, but when he saw a message on his phone, he immediately revealed a sinister smile.

"I've contacted another senior from the White Clothing Society, Qin Bing, and he has already agreed to teach that Lu fellow a lesson for me; he'll be here in a moment. You can just wait and watch the show."

"Senior Qin? Is that the Qin Bing who is listed as one of the five great geniuses of the White Clothing Society?"

"As expected of Young Master Wei, you can even invite him?"

"What are you saying? With the background of the Wei Family, Young Master Wei inviting him is giving him face. In front of Young Master Wei, I don't think that President Ye or Senior Sister Miao are anything special."

"That's going a bit too far."

Wei Lin waved his hand, "President Ye is a member of the royal family, and Senior Sister Miao is the granddaughter of the former Chief of the Military Department; they are once-in-a-century geniuses of our school and are both upperclassmen. Even in Song City, we should still show some respect and not discuss them casually."

"Young Master Wei, you are just too modest."

"Let's not talk about those irrelevant things. With Senior Qin taking action, that Lu fellow will immediately have to tuck his tail between his legs. By then... we will properly teach certain country bumpkins how to behave!"

Wei Lin stood up with a smug smile, "Senior Qin should be here soon. Let's go, let's go watch the show!"

The remaining two periods were guidance and self-study, and Tang Long was prepared to skip class as usual.

However, he didn't expect to be blocked right inside the classroom by Lu Xiaohu.

Tang Long frowned, then walked over to an empty corner before speaking.

"What is it?"

Lu Xiaohu scratched his head and ears, stalling for a long time before asking, "Big Brother Tang, did I cause you trouble yesterday?"

"I know you must have a very important reason for hiding your strength. I didn't intentionally tell them, it's just that when I saw them... I couldn't help myself for a moment."

"But I didn't say much, I just said that you are stronger than me."

Tang Long smiled.

As for hiding his strength, the original intention was just to avoid trouble.

Plus, he happened to have a cultivation technique like Barbarian Blood, so he suppressed his realm to the very bottom.

But as the situation changed, he felt that hiding it too much was truly unnecessary.

Last night he had already made an appearance at the Hot-Blooded Arena, and he would definitely be going there often for a while, and would definitely win often, and would even definitely gain some fame, so some things simply couldn't be hidden; it was just a matter of time.

Qin Bing was also a member of the White Clothing Society, and he had already beaten him up, so what was so strange about being stronger than Lu Xiaohu?

There were many strange people and talented scholars on Blue Star, did it really matter if there was one more 'genius' like him?

Besides, even if something really happened, The Sect would smooth it over.

So he shook his head slightly, "It's not a big problem, just don't go around saying anything else. Since you're in school, just study properly; I can handle my own trouble."

"Big Brother Tang!" Seeing that Tang Long was about to leave, Lu Xiaohu hurriedly called him back.

"Is there anything else? Don't be wishy-washy, just say it straight!"

Lu Xiaohu's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth, "Can you lend me some money?"

"Huh? Borrow money?"

Tang Long didn't expect that this kid would actually make such a request.

Lu Xiaohu hurriedly explained, "Big Brother Tang, my grandfather is still outside the city, and I want to bring him in as soon as possible. But the naturalization tax is 30,000..."

"If it wasn't for the school's special admission, which waived my tuition, I actually wouldn't even be able to afford to go to school. Although the White Clothing Society gave some financial aid, the expenses for school, plus having to buy cultivation resources, so..."

"Also, some of the things taught at school are good, but some things are just so-so."

"Big Brother Tang, can you spare some time to teach me some more?"

Tang Long frowned deeply.

The difficulties Lu Xiaohu was facing were reasonable.

For him, it was also quite unexpected.

After all, he had just found a way to make money, and he wasn't exactly wealthy himself. He had made over 30,000 last night, but after buying ten sticks of spirit incense this morning, it wasn't enough anymore.

But since Lu Xiaohu came to ask him, he really couldn't ignore him; after all, he had already made an investment in the early stages, so why be stingy with this little bit of money now?

"How much are you short?"

Lu Xiaohu's face turned even redder, "Big Brother Tang, actually, I don't have a single cent right now. I don't even have a place to live, I can only build a nest under the overpass in the west."

Tang Long sighed, then took out 10,000 yuan from his person.

"Take this money and use it first, as for the naturalization tax, I'll help you solve it in a couple of days."

Lu Xiaohu took it somewhat embarrassedly, "Big Brother Tang, I will definitely earn money to pay you back as soon as possible."

"No rush."

Tang Long continued, "Although my place isn't very spacious, it shouldn't be a problem for two people to live there. Wait for me at the gate after school, and we'll go together then."

Lu Xiaohu was overjoyed, "Thank you, Big Brother Tang!"

Tang Long smiled, "I lent you 10,000 yuan and didn't hear you say thanks, is squeezing into a rental apartment with me worth being this happy about?"

"It's different! I can pay back the money double, but living with you, Big Brother Tang, and being able to learn from you every day, that's something money can't buy!"

"Fine, then prepare yourself to be beaten up." Tang Long said, then turned and left.

Lu Xiaohu's expression stiffened, and remembering the fear of being dominated by Tang Long, he couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

Just at this moment, a voice came from not far away.

"Are you Lu Xiaohu?"

Lu Xiaohu turned his head and happened to come face-to-face with Qin Bing, who was walking over with large strides.
