Chapter 103: The Martial Bureau Report

Hearing the conversation between Zhang Ze and the other, Leng Bingbing also poked her head out coldly.

“But you really are something~”

Zhang Ze didn’t respond.

Leng Bingbing added, “Although Li Zixing following us around every day is quite annoying, we have to admit, his family is extremely influential.”

“Heh~”

Zhang Ze let out a disdainful chuckle.

Having anticipated Zhang Ze’s reaction, Leng Bingbing curled her lips and said, “Li Zixing’s older brother is a third-year disciple at Anqing Martial Bureau, and I heard he’s not far from reaching the Fourth Rank.”

“But when it comes to Li Ziyang, he’s not particularly outstanding within the Li family. The truly astonishing one is Li Zixing’s father, Li Jiehao.”

“This man is one of the rare strongholds in our country who broke through to the Seventh Rank Grandmaster realm before turning fifty!”

Pfft—

The drink that had just reached Zhang Ze’s mouth was abruptly spat out.

It wasn’t that Li Jiehao was truly formidable; rather, Leng Bingbing at this moment…

“Little girl, you’re developing quite nicely, huh~”

Fixating shamelessly on her deep V-neck dress, Zhang Ze leered.

“Ah~”

Distracted by explaining the Li family’s situation to Zhang Ze, Leng Bingbing hadn’t realized she had already stepped out from the fitting room.

…

A moment later.

The three wandered around the living area again.

It had to be said, girls were much more meticulous when it came to daily chores.

Indeed, Leng Bingbing and the other girl helped Zhang Ze prepare a set of daily necessities.

Before this, Zhang Ze hadn’t even given such things a second thought.

Perhaps subconsciously, he had thought that entering the Martial Bureau to train simply meant going there and following the mentor’s lead in swordplay and combat.

If Leng Bingbing and the other two hadn’t reminded him, he might have ended up arriving empty-handed.

“I have to say, you’re really dumb, huh?”

“Don’t you know that money is useless inside the Martial Bureau? Everything has to be purchased with points.”

Still sulking from the fitting room incident, Leng Bingbing spoke to Zhang Ze with a cold shoulder.

So Zhang Qingping explained a few things to Zhang Ze.

“Points?”

“What points?”

Zhang Ze looked utterly confused.

Seeing this, the two girls were speechless.

Leng Bingbing was just about to tease him again when someone called out to her from nearby.

…

“Bingbing~”

Li Zixing’s figure hurried over from a nearby shop, his voice sweet as honey.

Even Zhang Ze, a man, felt a chill down his spine.

“Buying daily necessities?”

Seeing Leng Bingbing’s shopping basket, Li Zixing asked softly, “I’m just about to get some bits and pieces too, so I might as well join you.”

No sooner had he spoken than Li Zixing reached out to grab the basket from Leng Bingbing’s hands.

Perhaps because Qian Qian and Peng Fei had both been beaten by this guy before, Zhang Ze looked at Li Zixing with obvious displeasure.

Seeing Li Zixing’s gesture, Zhang Ze scoffed mockingly, “Well, isn’t that convenient~”

“Bingbing, just hand over our daily necessities to Li here. After all, he’s... rich.”

Saying this, Zhang Ze pulled Leng Bingbing slightly closer to him and handed her shopping basket to Li Zixing.

Originally quite annoyed with Zhang Ze, Leng Bingbing couldn’t help but chuckle lightly when she saw the displeased look on Li Zixing’s face.

Then, she smiled softly, “Alright then, we’ll leave our things to you. We’ll see if we need anything else.”

With that, she tugged Zhang Qingping and hurried over to another shelf.

“Heh heh~”

“Thanks for the trouble, Li.”

Zhang Ze deliberately spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Having been played like this by the three of them, Li Zixing’s face immediately turned cold as frost.

Seeing the two girls walking further away, he muttered quietly to Zhang Ze, “Your two brothers both got pig heads from me; when will I get to deal with you?”

“You don’t have to remind me.”

After breaking through the Third Rank, Zhang Ze had become even more brazen.

He sneered, “Well then, I thought the pig head skin I gave you last time didn’t look good. I’ll find a chance to fix that for you.”

Li Zixing stomped off in a huff.

The two girls, having made Zhang Ze pay, then returned to their residence.

“Next time we see Li Zixing, we have to have a good talk.”

Zhang Ze said with a serious face.

“What for?”

Seeing his expression, Zhang Qingping couldn’t help but be curious.

“To tell him that although you two are beautiful, you still fart when you sleep at night~”

“Get lost!”

“Go to hell!”

…

Three days passed quickly amid the laughter and teasing between Zhang Ze and the two girls.

On the morning of August 28th.

The three geared up and headed to Anqing Martial Bureau.

“Ze Ge~”

Although Qian Qian was still a First Rank warrior, he and Peng Fei had passed the regular assessment to secure training spots at Anqing Martial Bureau.

However, Peng Fei was busy washing his underwear and couldn’t report today.

“Why are you dressed so flashy?”

Seeing Qian Qian in a pink suit jacket, Zhang Ze scoffed.

“You don’t know anything.”

“Bingbing, what do you think of my fashion sense?”

“Really ugly!”

Both girls said in unison.

Peng Fei, hearing this, was speechless.

He muttered, “Qing Xue bought it for me, said I should wear it at next month’s wedding…”

…

The registration process was much simpler.

After receiving their dormitory keys at the registration desk, the four headed to the northwest corner of the student dormitory area.

It was worth mentioning that Zhang Ze, Leng Bingbing, and Zhang Qingping had been selected early through the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, so their dormitory was well taken care of.

They each had single rooms, while Qian Qian stayed in a four-person room.

“Sigh~”

“Even dorms have hierarchies?”

Upon hearing this, Qian Qian felt a bit dejected.

Zhang Qingping explained, “It’s also to encourage the trainees’ cultivation. The Longhu Dormitory Building where the three of us reside has about 200 rooms.”

“Two hundred rooms, and at the end of each term, trainees can initiate challenges to raise their dormitory’s rank.”

Leng Bingbing chimed in.

“That’s right~”

“Without strength, why should you have privileges?”

Zhang Ze didn’t miss the chance to tease Qian Qian.

However, unexpectedly, Qian Qian wasn’t bothered by this at all.

His face filled with regret and resentment as he said, “I don’t care about single or four-person rooms. The real problem is that you three are in the same building…”

“Don’t you realize it’s a co-ed dorm?”

“Ah?”

…

Qian Qian went off to his dorm.

Although Leng Bingbing and the other girl had done plenty of research before entering the Martial Bureau, they still couldn’t help but be shocked to discover that their dorms with Zhang Ze were in the same building.

“Hmph~”

“We’ve lived together before; what’s there to be afraid of from living in the same building?”

Zhang Ze was completely unconcerned and said this to the two girls.

But they responded with eye rolls.

The three chatted casually as they soon arrived at the Longhu Dormitory Area.

Speaking of the Longhu Dormitory Area, it was truly a prominent feature within Anqing Martial Bureau.

The area consisted of four dormitory buildings and 200 single rooms, housing outstanding trainees from four different grades.

Since each grade had a building, naturally Zhang Ze and the two girls were in the same building.

…

“Hey~”

“Where’s the fourth building of Longhu Dormitory?”

Just as the three entered the dormitory area’s main gate, they encountered a familiar figure.
