60: The origin of the mutual aid association

Xia Lin didn't quite understand and looked at Wang Xiaoya.

Wang Xiaoya explained to Li Ziyu with a serious expression:

"I only occasionally heard this rumor from a senior in my second year."

"The headquarters of the Mutual Aid Society is at Modu Martial Arts University."

"It is said that thirty years ago, Modu Martial Arts University didn't have a very powerful student organization, but that year, for some unknown reason, the Mutual Aid Society was inexplicably formed."

"At that time, it was led by several of the most outstanding prodigies at Modu Martial Arts University, who served as presidents."

"After developing for more than ten years, the Mutual Aid Society's influence now spans several universities in Modu. As long as a freshman has good talent, he will be invited to join the Mutual Aid Society and receive its support."

Wang Xiaoya recalled, then looked at Li Ziyu and lowered her voice slightly:

"But according to my second-year senior, the nature of the Mutual Aid Society now seems to be not as pure as when it was first established."

"It has formed a monopoly over many school activities and resources, and there's a significant polarization between ordinary students and members of the Mutual Aid Society."

"I don't know why the school allows an organization like the Mutual Aid Society to exist."

Wang Xiaoya explained earnestly, describing some of the Mutual Aid Society's overbearing behaviors.

Influenced by the yellow-haired youth on the high-speed train, Xia Lin expressed her dissatisfaction with the Mutual Aid Society.

Li Ziyu listened very carefully and understood Xia Lin's emotions.

After all, Li Ziyu still remembered the yellow-haired youth's arrogant attitude, feeling superior just because he had been invited to join the Mutual Aid Society.

"Student Li Ziyu, Modu Martial Arts University is the headquarters of the Mutual Aid Society, and their resource monopoly and domineering behavior might be even more severe than at our Lanpu Martial Arts University."

"Everyone in the Mutual Aid Society is very strong. If the Mutual Aid Society invites you to join, you must not refuse them!"

"Otherwise, if you are targeted, your four years of university will be very difficult!"

Seeing that Li Ziyu was listening attentively, Wang Xiaoya said to Li Ziyu with a serious expression.

Li Ziyu was noncommittal, smiling without responding.

Wherever there are people, there are factions, groups, resource competition, and class divisions.

Even martial artists are no exception.

On the contrary, because power belongs to the individual, this situation is even more pronounced.

However, these things had nothing to do with him.

Regardless of what secrets the Mutual Aid Society held, he did not want to join and be constrained by it.

"The Mutual Aid Society... you can develop however you like, as long as you don't affect me."

The meal went smoothly, and nothing particularly special happened, apart from the combination of a handsome man and beautiful women frequently drawing the attention of passersby.

After eating, Li Ziyu, Xia Lin, and Wang Xiaoya waved goodbye.

Under Xia Lin's reluctant gaze, he boarded the subway heading to Modu Superpower University.

"Hey, Xiao Lin, stop looking, your boyfriend has already gone far away."

Wang Xiaoya playfully waved her hand in front of Xia Lin's eyes, pulling Xia Lin out of her dazed state.

Xia Lin looked very reluctant.

Looking up at Wang Xiaoya's meaningful expression, Xia Lin's face couldn't help but blush, and she quickly explained:

"He's not my boyfriend yet."

"Oh? You haven't accepted his pursuit yet?"

Wang Xiaoya's eyes lit up, and her gossipy heart burned brightly.

Xia Lin brushed her hair, a little embarrassed, and said in a shy tone:

"That's not it, it's that I haven't figured out how to pursue him yet..."

...

On the special subway line to Modu Martial Arts University, Li Ziyu got off the subway.

There were many people on the special line going to Modu Martial Arts University, and it was slightly crowded when Li Ziyu exited the subway station.

But most of them were students who came for the reputation, or girls who came to check in.

After all, martial arts are flourishing in Great Xia, and martial artists are basically at the top of the pyramid for ordinary people.

And Modu Martial Arts University, as a sacred place for cultivating martial artists and one of the top four prestigious schools in the country, is even more of a check-in hot spot in the hearts of young people.

There were very few people truly coming to report like him.

Before he came, Left Hongyang had an urgent mission and couldn't make it, so he sent a message saying that he had arranged for a special person to pick him up.

"Hi, handsome little brother, are you also here to check in at Modu University?"

"I think you're so cool, can I take a photo with you?"

As soon as Li Ziyu walked out of the station, his gaze was searching for the person who was supposed to pick him up, when he heard a pleasant female voice by his ear.

Two tall girls, about seven or eight out of ten in looks, dressed in cool clothing.

They walked up to Li Ziyu with smiles, their faces flushed as they looked at him.

One of the girls, with wavy permed hair, even took out her phone and waved it in front of Li Ziyu, looking expectant.

"Mhm."

Li Ziyu did not refuse, and surrounded by the two girls, he walked to the center between them and took a photo.

"Student, you're also here to visit Modu Martial Arts University, right? But to visit Modu Martial Arts University, you need to book online three months in advance."

"If you don't have a reservation, you won't be allowed in."

After taking the photo, the girl with the big waves looked up at Li Ziyu and said softly.

Seeing that Li Ziyu's expression seemed to indicate he didn't know about this, the girl with the big waves smiled again and said:

"It seems you probably didn't book in advance."

"But it's okay, we booked three spots."

"It just so happens that one of our best friends couldn't make it because of something at home, so if you don't mind, we can go together."

"Mhm!"

The oval-faced girl in the short skirt standing next to the big-wave girl also quickly nodded in agreement.

She looked at Li Ziyu with an expectant gaze.

Li Ziyu was about to refuse.

The phone in his pocket rang.

As he picked it up, before he could answer, an excited shout rang out beside him:

"Hi! Student Li Ziyu, over here!"

Li Ziyu looked in the direction of the shout.

Not far away, a short-haired young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and an excited expression was jogging towards him.

"Excuse me, the person I'm waiting for has arrived."

Li Ziyu said goodbye to the two girls, and then, under their regretful gazes, walked towards the short-haired young man.

Seeing that Li Ziyu had noticed him, the short-haired young man quickened his pace and jogged to Li Ziyu's front.

Before Li Ziyu could speak, the short-haired youth excitedly extended his right hand towards Li Ziyu:

"Hello, Student Li Ziyu! I'm Ma Chao, a second-year student from the Weapons Academy at Modu Martial Arts University. Dean Zuo sent me to pick you up!"

"I'm sorry, I just ran into something and arrived late!"

"I'm really sorry!"

Ma Chao said apologetically, continuously apologizing.

His humble demeanor surprised Li Ziyu.

Li Ziyu could tell from Ma Chao's face that he had been in some trouble.

After all, Ma Chao's face was bruised and swollen, clearly indicating he had gotten into a conflict with someone and hadn't come out on top.

He must have been beaten up.

But why was Ma Chao so humble towards him, a first-year freshman?

Was it because of his reputation as the national Martial Arts Champion?

But that shouldn't be the case.

Shouldn't martial arts students all have their own sharp edge?

Especially martial arts students from schools like Modu Martial Arts University, which ranks among the top few in the country.

However, although Li Ziyu was puzzled, he didn't ask further. He extended his right hand and shook Ma Chao's.

"Hello, Senior, I'm Li Ziyu."

"Hehe, I wouldn't dare be called Senior. I just came a year earlier than you."

"Come on, Student Li Ziyu, I'll take you to complete the enrollment procedures first, and then I'll show you around our Modu Martial Arts University."

Ma Chao waved his hands repeatedly at Li Ziyu's address.

Then, he naturally took the luggage from Li Ziyu's hand and led Li Ziyu towards the main gate of Modu Martial Arts University.

After the two left.

The two tall girls who had just taken a photo with Li Ziyu looked at Li Ziyu's departing back in surprise.

The two girls exchanged glances, both showing surprise in their eyes:

"What did they just say, enrollment?"

"That very handsome little brother just now, he's actually a student of Modu Martial Arts University?"

A hint of regret appeared on their faces:

"I forgot to get that little brother's Flying Letter!"
