Chapter 1139: Chapter 1138: Martial Arts Center

Do you know him? He’s a good friend of mine. In this dojo, we both share responsibilities; he takes care of teaching students, and I handle administrative work." Mark called for food after seeing the card.

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Just as Mark finished talking, Ming walked in from outside.

When he saw Yanran and Ba Lv, he gave a glance: "You two ladies, we happened to be thinking of dropping by here, and just as we arrived, we saw Mark and that second senior brother in a fight, so we pulled him back." Ba Lv explained, not wanting Ming to misunderstand anything.

"Well then, Mark, did the people from Wei Martial Arts Center do anything to you?" Liu Ming seemed very concerned about Mark.

It’s understandable, Ming and Mark have always been good friends.

It’s alright, just as these two ladies and this gentleman arrived, they didn’t make things difficult for me." Mark was very grateful to Jiang Cheng and his two apprentices.

If a fight had really broken out, he would certainly have suffered, and as a man, he couldn’t ignore a challenge from the opponent.

He wasn’t afraid of being overwhelmed by them, he was just worried because now was the final registration period for the big competition, if he couldn’t work because of this, their efforts throughout the year would be wasted.

This has brought up a big question of whether their small "Star of Hope" dojo could survive.

Now that the two ladies and this gentleman are here, can we talk?" Ming’s heart reignited with hope that had been lost.

What do you want to talk about?" Ba Lv was very curious.

This young man named Ban Ming had sharp eyes, instantly recognizing that she and Yanran had practiced martial arts, but she didn’t think there was anything to discuss with him.

Ming hesitated, knowing his request was excessive, but he had no better ideas and had to grasp at straws.

The thing is, you two are martial artists as well. Don’t you want to participate in this competition?" Liu Ming spoke.

"If you can achieve a good ranking in the competition, it would definitely be something to boast about.

Oh? Tell me more." Ba Lv said.

Ming cleared his throat: "If you can place in such a major competition, not only will your images appear across various media as their highlights, but there will be more opportunities available to you.

Like what?" Ba Lv pressed further.

"With excellent competition results, you could enter major corporations, join prestigious private schools, attend events as media guests, and also," Ban Ming paused: "Forgive my rudeness, but given your charming looks, with good competition results, you’ll certainly become stars in people’s hearts.

His expression became animated: "This would make your lives more exciting. Regardless of life’s length, as long as it’s lived in brilliance, it doesn’t need to be prolonged, it would be worthwhile.

He said to Ruoran and Ba Lv: "Don’t you agree?

Ba Lv smiled. This Liu Ming really had a way with words.

She didn’t respond to Liu Ming: "I’ve heard that we must join under a dojo to participate in such competitions, so tell me, which dojo here would suit our join?

Ba Lv’s words immediately made Ban Ming understand, particularly with her slightly raised, ambiguous smile; this young beauty had already seen through his real intentions, and she wasn’t interested in his pitch.

Liu Ming’s face turned red, he didn’t know what to say.

"Young man, just say what you mean directly, there’s no need for such concealment.

Ba Lv stopped speaking, but everyone in the "Star of Hope" dojo understood her meaning.

After glancing around the small, empty dojo, Ba Lv greeted Jiang Cheng and Yanran: "Yanran, ’Old.’ Let’s go.

Jiang Cheng had told them not to treat him as a teacher now, Ba Lvluo almost forgot again.

Watching Jiang Cheng and the two others walk out of the dojo, Ban Ming’s face flushed with embarrassment and regret for not stating things clearly earlier.

Not far outside the "Star of Hope" dojo, someone stood idly.

"What happened?" Ba Lvluo felt strange, there weren’t so many people when they came, why did so many appear outside after they spoke for a few words?

Seeing Jiang Cheng and his group, those people approached them.

Little did they think they’d be getting into a fight as soon as they arrived!" Ba Lv excitedly whispered to Yanran.

Both sides walked towards each other.

Mark and Liu Ming stood outside the dojo, dumbfounded at the scene.

No, I have to stop the people from Wei Martial Arts Center!" Mark shouted and ran towards the group.

As he ran, he shouted: "Every grievance has its cause and debtor, it was me who argued with you earlier, you should go to-

His words were cut off.

Just as the people from Tengwei Martial Arts Center were about to reach Jiang Cheng and his group, they suddenly dispersed, and with a loud "Whoosh," they all bowed ninety degrees towards Jiang Cheng’s group, led by the second senior brother.

The actions of the senior brothers left Ba Lv a bit stunned, just a moment ago, she was making things difficult for him.

How did that grinning guy turn into a well-behaved kid in the blink of an eye?

Sorry, ladies, it was our fault earlier, please forgive us!" The second senior brother said, bowing again.

Originally prepared for a fight, yet unable to do so now, Ba Lv felt quite disappointed.

What a bore, why do a bunch of grown men play these tedious games?

With this time, they might as well have a fight.

"Alright, alright," Ba Lv said impatiently, waving them off: "I forgive you, disperse."

Ba Lv was excited about a fight but seeing it won’t happen, she felt bad and naturally didn’t have a pleasant expression for the people of Tengwei Martial Arts Center.

Great, great," someone nearby walked over, giving Ba Lv a thumbs-up and praising her while approaching.

Ba Lvluo and her group hadn’t seen this person before, and she particularly disliked these over-familiar strangers.

The person approaching looked decent, tall, with well-defined features, nimble in movement, and moved with energy, clearly someone who practiced martial arts.

However, his gaze made Ba Lv feel annoyed.

During the time it took him to approach, his eyes had scanned Ba Lvluo several times.

If she hadn’t stepped in front of Yanran, blocking his view, Yanran would surely have been his target too.

Ba Lv didn’t say anything, as she hadn’t figured out what he was about, but she knew that the abrupt change in attitude of the Tengwei Martial Arts Center people likely had something to do with this person.

Sure enough, when the man stepped in front of Ba Lv, the senior brother immediately introduced with a fawning tone: "This is the great senior brother of Wei Martial Arts Center, across our thousands of members in Wei, he commands absolute authority, he is the pillar of Tengwei. He in our
