Good martial arts in the city, many children, many blessings

a few days later.

Rose Martial Arts Hall, third-floor bedroom.

With her complexion slightly restored, Liu Yanran dismissed her husband and sister who were always by her side, and directly summoned Bai Jie, who was teaching at the university.

"Dabai, Xunhuan and Yiyi both told me that the martial arts gym is doing normally, and the team is doing well. Do you think I should believe them, senior?"

Bai Jie smiled awkwardly, then lowered her head and pursed her lips, remaining silent.

"Big White, tell me the truth. In the wilderness trial more than four months from now, besides Yi Yi, who in the Rose Team has a chance to make it ashore?"

Bai Jie opened her mouth, then said silently, "Yanran, Niu Niu has just been born. The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of her. I'll take care of everything else..."

"Big White, those two are in cahoots, conspiring to deceive and mislead me. Now they're not even telling me the truth anymore?"

Liu Yanran gripped Bai Jie's palms tightly with both hands, holding them firmly in her hands.

"I gave up everything for that goal... I can't live without it."

"Big White, you have to help me!"

A hint of helplessness flashed in Bai Jie's eyes. She sighed and said, "Let me make this clear first, don't rush me after you hear it."

"Mmm!" Liu Yanran nodded repeatedly.

"Yiyi is already a quasi-martial artist and is currently taking combat courses as a supplement, so there's no need to worry about her for now."

"Tian Xi is not far behind now. If she works hard and proves herself, she should have a chance."

"Pang Yuanyuan's family is quite well-off. I spoke with her privately, and they are willing to put up some savings to try their luck, so maybe they can make it."

"As for Qiao Yuerong and Yu Meimei..."

Bai Jie shook her head, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Both of them came from humble backgrounds, and their families were in increasingly worse situations than each other; it was a miracle if they didn't drag each other down.

The Rose Martial Arts Academy appears to be in good financial standing, but Liu Yanran has already pushed its debts to the limit.

With over four months of debt recovery and an uncertain future for the team, even the most skilled cook can't make a meal without ingredients unless they sell themselves.

Liu Yanran secretly calculated in her heart, "If three million came in now, would that be enough?"

"enough!"

Bai Jie suddenly froze, then turned to look at Liu Yanran in horror.

"Senior, I must remind you, in the Federation, whether you're planning to sell yourself or sell your daughter, it's a serious crime."

Liu Yanran rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "I really want to sell you!"

"Oh, I see."

Bai Jie reached into her bag and took out a debit card, saying, "I originally had 500,000 yuan of pocket money here, which I was going to use to support someone, but now it seems that they've taken it all."

"Oh dear, what are you saying!" Liu Yanran quickly grabbed it, her face full of greed.

Bai Jie said calmly, "The password!"

"Sister Bai!"

Liu Yanran's voice was so sweet it was almost sickening, and she seemed to transform into a vine that would entwine a tree from the moment she entered.

Bai Jie enjoyed a short nap before gently parting her red lips and saying, "86, 59, 89!"

Liu Yanran's expression froze, and she said in astonishment, "Are there still fools who use their own 3D model as a password?"

"Liu Yanran!"

Bai Jie pounced on Liu Yanran and pinned her down, their playful laughter echoing through the air.

Outside the door, Li Xunhuan's fingertips hovered over the door. After a moment of silence, she turned and left.

A hint of surprise flashed in Bai Jie's eyes. She grabbed Liu Yanran with both hands and demanded fiercely, "Why has your jealous wife suddenly wilted?"

"Normally, by this time, he would have already barged in and chased me away."

Liu Yanran shrugged and pouted, "He asked me for 60 yuan to pay for Niu Niu's injection. I didn't agree, so he got angry!"

Bai Jie's eyes flashed, and she rushed forward to snatch the bank card.

Liu Yanran reacted quickly, dodging the attack and stuffing it directly into her chest. She then hugged it with both arms, looking like she was willing to give up her life for the money.

Bai Jie said bitterly, "Why should I have to subsidize the 600,000 yuan your family spent raising your daughter?"

Liu Yanran chuckled and said, "How about I let you have my husband so you can vent your anger and feel better?"

"Do whatever you want, hit or scold him as you please, I guarantee he won't dare fight back, how about it?"

"Not good."

Bai Jie sneered, "Don't think I don't know, you're afraid he'll pester you and plant a debt collector in your belly!"

Liu Yanran slumped her shoulders and remained silent.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Bai Jie's eyes. She took out a small, warm white jade bottle from her bag and casually tossed it over.

"Apply beforehand, leaving no trace!"

Liu Yanran blinked, looked up at Bai Jie whose ears had turned red, then looked at the contraceptive cream in her palm, and said with a face full of emotion.

"Big White, if my senior runs out of supplies, can you buy her some more?"

"roll!"

Bai Jie was furious and stood up to leave.

Liu Yanran quickly reached out and grabbed her, saying earnestly, "Dabai, I've made up my mind."

Seeing her serious tone, Bai Jie hesitated and said, "What are you planning to do now? I'm out of money!"

Liu Yanran shook her head, reached into her chest and pulled out the savings card, saying, "Dabai, let's gamble away your 3D!"

Bai Jie was so angry that she was speechless. She pulled her hand away, turned around, and left.

She didn't want to talk to Liu Yanran anymore, this guy whose mind was always filled with suggestive talk.

Seeing that she was really angry, Liu Yanran hurriedly shouted, "There are seven female martial arts schools in SZ City. Each school has a bet of 50, so the total bet for all seven schools is 350 million."

Bai Jie suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and said, "You want to come and challenge us!"

……

More than ten days later.

In front of the Ling She Martial Arts Hall.

For the first time, all members of the Rose Martial Arts Hall participated.

Liu Yanran took the lead, with Bai Jie as her bodyguard, and the five members of the Rose Team lined up in a row.

Li Xunhuan led the five reserve teams and the reserve trainees who had come to make a show of force to unfurl a banner.

The members of the Serpent Hall, whose chests were embroidered with silver serpent patterns, spread out in a V-shape, glaring angrily at the members of the Rose Martial Arts Hall, whose chests were adorned with blooming thorn roses.

A middle-aged female owner, who looked to be in her thirties or forties, with slender hands, narrowed snake-like eyes, and a dignified expression, raised her hand in greeting.

"Master Liu, is this... an unwelcome welcome?"

Liu Yanran, who was desperately poor, didn't waste any words and simply waved her hand.

Bai Jie unzipped her bag, revealing a brand-new, dark green Federal Coin, and tossed it between the two of them.

"Same rules as always. The challenger must prepare 500,000 Federal Credits; the winner doubles the amount, the loser leaves with a blank sign!"

The owner of the Spirit Serpent Pavilion's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Master Liu, our two families have no enmity or grudge, do we?"

Liu Yanran shook her head. "No!"

"So you're going to fight to the death right from the start? Do you think my Serpent Pavilion is easy to bully?"

"yes!"

"Fine, fine!" The Snake Pavilion Master laughed in exasperation, his eyes filled with malice.

"You've only been here for less than a year and you're already challenging us? Are you afraid that Master Liu will have to close down for a month and refuse all visitors? I won't hesitate to send you on your way."

The owner of the Serpent Pavilion shrugged, faced all four directions, and shouted loudly.

"Beat the gong, set up a challenge, and announce it to the neighbors."

Liu Yanran continued, "For those below the martial arts level, it's best three out of five!"

……

Standing off the field, Li Xunhuan, acting as the cheerleader, bowed her head and explained to the group of excited beginner students of the Rose Martial Arts Academy.

"The so-called 'challenge' means that one party puts up 500,000 federal dollars to challenge another party, the other party confirms the fighting venue, one party sets the rules of the competition, and the other party may also add restrictions to the competition."

"Neither side is in a particular order; once the conditions are agreed upon, they can compete against each other."

"The victor's 500,000 becomes 1 million, while the loser's martial arts school hangs half its plaque for a month, telling all the neighbors that their skills are inferior."

"Afterwards, the defeated students either left in large numbers or took the opportunity to lower prices. In any case, they were definitely severely damaged, which is the origin of the fight to the death."

"Oh, is it that serious?" A bright-eyed little girl playfully stuck out her tongue and said, "Then can we not gamble?"

"If I were the owner of the Serpent Pavilion, I would never sign such a bet, even if you beat me to death."

"Sun Wan, you're dreaming! You think you can just refuse whenever you want?"

Li Wenjing, with her short, ear-length hair, mocked, "Martial arts are all about fighting for a breath of blood."

"If someone blocks your door and tries to cause trouble today and you don't respond, they might come back tomorrow. Can you expect them to stay silent forever?"

Wang Ping, with her big eyes, interjected, "No, who would come to challenge us if they weren't confident of winning? In this situation, we can't just rush into a fight!"

Sun Wan's eyes lit up. "That's right! If the master dares to challenge us, he must be confident of winning."

"Right, Assistant Professor Li?"

Li Wenjing's eyes widened in surprise, and she and the other women turned their gazes toward Li Xunhuan.

Obviously, everyone wants to know the answer.

Li Xunhuan gave a wry smile and answered irrelevantly: "In the past, the Martial Alliance set up strict rules to address the bad habit of private fights among martial arts schools in various places."

"The first rule is that new martial arts schools established less than three years ago are not eligible for betting!"

"Those who take the initiative to challenge others will be considered to have automatically forfeited their three-year newbie protection period."
