Infinite: Starting from Resident Evil

"Jingchu is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources."

Gulu!

A sip of wine down.

"I see that Brother Shen is also a martial arts practitioner. May I ask who your teacher is?"

There's nothing wrong with saying this, Shen Ye answered honestly: "I used to be a soldier, mainly practicing military combat techniques. Later, I learned some other Chinese martial arts as well, and then I followed Xiao Wu to learn the Shiranui-ryu ancient martial arts."

"Oh! So you're now a disciple of the Shiranui School?" A hint of disappointment flashed in Chin Gentsai's eyes.

"I guess so, anyway, I paid tuition." Shen Ye looked at Mai Shiranui, "Mai is my teacher."

"Xiao Wu? Teacher?"

Shen Ye's words made Kensou, who was engrossed in eating, and Athena Asamiya, who was chatting with Sayuri, look at him. Both of them thought to themselves, "What kind of student calls their teacher such an intimate nickname?"

But upon hearing Shen Ye's words, Zhen Yuanzhai's face lit up with joy. In his view, Shen Ye was not a formal disciple of the Shiranui School at all.

Perhaps it was Shen Ye's temperament that suited his taste, or perhaps it was Shen Ye's uninhibited drinking style that he admired. Zhen Yuanzhai, who had been struggling to find a disciple to drink with, suddenly had the idea of ​​taking Shen Ye as his apprentice.

"So, Brother Shen is a student of the Shiranui School!"

Zhen Yuanzhai emphasized the pronunciation of the word "student" very heavily. In his view, students and apprentices could be completely distinguished. Students were like students who paid money to study, learned something, and left. But apprentices were different.

Although there was a deliberate misinterpretation involved, Zhen Yuanzhai felt it would be a great pity not to accept Shen Ye as his disciple.

However, Zhen Yuanzhai was a senior figure in the fighting world. Although he could not be called a grandmaster who founded a school, his seniority was unmatched in the fighting world. Naturally, he would not lower himself to ask Shen Ye to become his disciple.

He began to subtly suggest to Shen Ye that he wanted to take on another disciple to inherit his mantle, since Athena and Kensou possessed superpowers and weren't very interested in martial arts.

Shen Ye could naturally understand the meaning behind Zhen Yuanzhai's words, but he really had no interest in it, especially since Mai Shiranui was also there. He could only listen with a smile.

Mai Shiranui understood the meaning behind Chin Gentsai's words. In fact, she thought it would be better for Shen Ye to become Chin Gentsai's disciple, since the ancient martial arts of the Shiranui school were not suitable for Shen Ye. However, after Chin Gentsai almost directly asked Shen Ye to become his disciple, but Shen Ye remained silent with a smile, she became secretly delighted and looked at Shen Ye with tenderness in her eyes.

However, she still felt it was better for Shen Ye to become Zhen Yuanzhai's disciple. Anyway, she didn't think there was anything wrong with finding another master. There had been people who had already learned their skills before becoming disciples.

After some persuasion, seeing that Shen Ye remained unmoved, Zhen Yuanzhai sighed. But he was still unwilling to give up; he had rarely encountered young people who suited his taste.

Thinking that he couldn't persuade her, he decided to find someone else to act as the persuader, so he gave Athena Asamiya a wink.

Athena paused for a moment, then quickly understood what her master meant.

Speaking of which, as Zhen Yuanzhai's junior apprentice, Athena had always wanted a junior brother or sister, but Zhen Yuanzhai's standards were extremely high, and ordinary people simply couldn't catch his eye. Seeing that her master was willing to take on a disciple, she naturally wouldn't object. So, after Zhen Yuanzhai subtly expressed his desire to take on a disciple to Shen Ye, she was somewhat looking forward to it.

However, seeing that Shen Ye wouldn't nod, she was in a dilemma. She couldn't very well say, "My master wants a little disciple, and I also want a little junior brother..." Although Shen Ye was much older than her, he was still a young man, and besides, he was good-looking, much more pleasing to the eye than Kensou.

But how should I bring it up?

His master was a fellow countryman, and even drank with him, so they had things to talk about, while he himself...

After thinking for a while, Athena quickly realized that it would be inappropriate to directly ask her master to take on a disciple, so she decided to find a topic to start with.

After thinking about it for a while, she came up with a solution.

However, she spoke to Xiaobaihe, who was beside her, first.

"Speaking of which, Sayuri, after the KOF tournament, I'm going to hold a concert in Tokyo, and I'd like to invite you to come and watch."

"I'm fine with it, but I'm worried about Onii-chan and the others. I don't know if they'd be willing to go." Sayuri didn't think too much about it and immediately nodded in agreement. Then she looked at Shen Ye and the others.

Athena looked at Shen Ye and the others under Zhen Yuanzhai's approving gaze.

"And you?" she asked softly.

Joan was the first to speak. She shrugged and said, "I don't care, but could I bring one more person with me?"

"Of course! I'm organizing the concert, so as many people as you want can come," Athena said with a smile. As an idol high school student, popularity is the most important thing, so the more people the better.

Then Athena looked at Mai Shiranui, but Mai Shiranui hesitated and looked at Shen Ye. The clever girl had already guessed that Athena's real target was Shen Ye.

"Xiaoye, do you want to go?"

"Me? Hmm..." Shen Ye pondered. He naturally guessed that Athena was acting as a persuader for Zhen Yuanzhai, and that she was using a honey trap.

But he had to admit that he really wanted to see Athena's concert; he didn't want to miss such a great opportunity.

then……

"Okay!" Shen Ye nodded.

"Let's exchange contact information first. I'll call you after the competition is over," Athena said, taking out her phone.

Of the four, only Shen Ye has a cell phone. Mai Shiranui has been guarding the dojo, which has a telephone, so she hasn't bought one. As for Qiong and Sayuri... these two girls rely entirely on Mai Shiranui for their food, drink, and daily necessities. So in the end, Shen Ye and Athena exchanged numbers.

As she set her junior brother as the contact for the number, Athena said, "Don't refuse when you call me, okay?"

She didn't say when she would call Shen Ye, implying that she wanted Shen Ye to answer at any time.

Perhaps after we part ways after dinner, she will contact Shen Ye as Zhen Yuanzhai suggested.

Now, she's already imagining herself calling Shen Ye "Junior Brother".

"Hmm, I must make her call me 'senior sister' more often in the future," Athena thought to herself.

……

Chapter 688! A Strange and Perverse Pleasure

……

After this little incident, Athena stopped just chatting with Sayuri and started frequently participating in conversations between Shen Ye and Zhen Yuanzhai.

However, she was only talking about her troubles, such as being harassed by fans or being followed after concerts. She also subtly mentioned that she needed a bodyguard to stop these crazy fans.

"This kind of thing must be done by the junior brother."

Athena thought to herself, "It's definitely not going to work with Kensou. That guy's head is full of steamed buns. He'd be very impatient if I asked him to be my bodyguard, but he'd gladly accept if I offered him steamed buns."

Hearing Athena's words, Shen Ye didn't know how to respond. He knew he was very busy right now, and even doing things with Sharm had to be done in the morning, so how could he possibly be a bodyguard?

But refusing doesn't seem appropriate either, especially since Athena is making such a pitiful face, which is very easy to arouse a man's protective instincts, even though Athena is skilled and not afraid of danger at all.

The women around him, seeing Shen Ye's somewhat conflicted expression, also had similar expressions on their faces.

It's not that it looks bad, but it's definitely not something people want to see.

However, they also knew that Shen Ye's schedule was very tight right now, and he probably wouldn't agree.

Mai Shiranui whispered in her ear, "Can you still find the time?"

"You'd definitely split me in two," Shen Ye replied softly, somewhat helplessly.

"Hmph, I wouldn't want to!" Mai Shiranui scoffed.

However, just then, as Athena was looking at Shen Ye with expectant eyes, a cell phone suddenly rang.

The nearly identical ringtones made Shen Ye and Athena simultaneously pull out their phones, only to find that neither of them was ringing.

"Haha...it's my ringing."

Zhen Yuanzhai pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and said that the old man was not resistant to this kind of thing and had a high acceptance level.

Then, he answered the phone.

"Hey! Oh! It's Terry! What brings you here to call me?"

Upon hearing Chin Gentsai say those words, Shen Ye remained calm, but Mai Shiranui was taken aback.

She knew the name Terry all too well; she had once studied under her grandfather, Hanzo Shiranui, with a guy named Andy.

Thinking of that guy named Andy, Mai Shiranui frowned slightly again. Right now, she really didn't want to hear any news about him.

Thinking of this, Chin Gentsai across from him said, "Andy, that little guy, is here too? Oh, you've already arrived in Japan? How about we have dinner together tonight? I can also introduce you to a few people who are young like you, is that alright? Okay, it's settled then."

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Yuanzhai looked at Shen Ye and the others with a smile.

“Terry, a disciple of my old friend Tang Fulu from China, called me. He’s a very promising young man. I told him we’d all have dinner together tonight.”

"That's not very convenient, is it?" Joan said at this moment.

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it.” Zhen Yuanzhai waved his hand, then looked at Shen Ye: “He and his brother are about the same age as you, so I think you should have a lot in common.”

"Then thank you very much, senior." Shen Ye did not refuse. Not only did he have a good impression of Terry, after all, he often chose Terry when playing games, but he also wanted to meet Andy.

This is a strange, perverse sense of humor.

Upon hearing that Shen Ye had accepted Chin Gentsai's invitation, Mai Shiranui whispered, "Shin-Ye, could you please not go?"

"It would be impolite not to go when invited by a senior colleague."

"That's not the reason..."

"Don't worry, Mai, it's okay." Shen Ye grabbed Mai's hand from under the table.

With her hand being grabbed, Mai Shiranui's previously anxious heart suddenly calmed down for some reason.

"Alright then." Mai Shiranui nodded.

……

Lunch, which lasted for an hour, finally came to an end.

Shen Ye paid the bill before Athena could, and then everyone left the Chinese restaurant together.
