5 Hey, Don't You Know There Should Be a Prudent Reserve Between the Sexes?

At this moment, Xu Lingjun finally saw the appearances of the two people opposite him clearly.

The woman was pretty, but she had been knocked to the ground by Xu Lingjun at this moment. She was currently leaning to the side, stretching out her hand to cover her voluptuous buttocks with a pained expression. She looked quite pitiful.

The man who had been walking with her had a worried look on his face. He extended and contracted his hand several times, and he did not dare to go up and help her up as if he was worried about something. In the end, he could only turn to question Xu Lingjun angrily.

He shouted angrily at Xu Lingjun, "Kid, don't you look around when you walk?"

Xu Lingjun did not respond.

His mind had already been attracted by the two's strange attire.

From their appearance, these two were much older than him. They should be around the same age as Wang Qingya. The woman was wearing a navy blue double-breasted silk dress, while the man was wearing a dark blue robe. Both were wearing black ancient boots, and both had casually tied their long hair. They didn't seem any different from the ancients, as if they had traveled through time.

In this modern society, it was indeed strange to wear such attire, but it was not unheard of.

Sects!

Were these two sect disciples?

Something was strange.

The people from the sects had always been high and mighty, and they did not even think much of those from the four great martial arts universities. Why were they here in a remote place like Qingzhou City?

Thinking of this, Xu Lingjun instinctively reached out his hand to help the woman up. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and did not pay attention. I accidentally bumped into this little, ahem... Miss, miss, are you okay..."

"I'm fine."

The woman's gaze swept past Xu Lingjun's face, then again, and again. She had accidentally caught a glimpse of his face just now, and even forgot the path under her feet.

Which was why she had bumped into him and had accidentally fallen to the ground.

"This young man is so polite. To think he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to help me up. Hey, don't you know there should be a prudent reserve between the sexes?" As she thought of this, her pretty face flushed red. She gently raised her right hand, wanting to hold onto Xu Lingjun's hand.

However, her junior brother directly stood in front of her and shouted, "Take your dirty hand away, what do you want to do to my senior sister?"

Hearing this, Xu Lingjun withdrew his hand embarrassedly and said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. I was in a hurry to go to school and didn't notice the lady. Please forgive me."

"It... It's okay," The woman watched in a daze as Xu Lingjun's retracted his hand. She suddenly felt that this junior brother whom she had usually favored had become an eyesore.

She glared fiercely at him, causing her junior brother to be at a loss.

Only then did she stand up and gently pat the dust off her body. She smiled gently and said, "Although I'm wearing ancient clothes, this is just a custom within the sect to show our respect to our ancestors. You don't have to use such a respectful tone to speak to me. My surname is Ji, and my name is Roufeng. I'm from the Riyueming Sect. I'm 22 this year. You... What's your name? How about your parents? Any siblings?"

"I'm just a student from this high school," Xu Lingjun lowered his head to look at his phone and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to be late... Miss Ji, if there's nothing else, I have to hurry to class. Goodbye."

As he said that, he turned around and hurriedly ran away.

Ji Roufeng stared blankly at Xu Lingjun's leaving back.

"Why is this kid so rude?" The junior brother, Zhang Ziqian said unpleased, "Senior sister, you asked his name, but he didn't answer. He already guessed our identity, yet he was still so rude... He's just... Humph..."

"Even if you don't speak, no one will take you as a mute," Ji Roufeng glared at her junior brother, who was usually quite observant, and said angrily, "Did you treat him so rudely because of his good looks?"

Zhang Ziqian was silent for a while before he asked, "Senior sister, did you treat him so well because of his good looks?"

"Nonsense. Am I such a shallow person?" Ji Roufeng's pretty face blushed slightly. She patted the dust off her body and said, "Let's go. We have important things to do."

With that, the two of them walked toward Qingyang High School together.

At this time, Xu Lingjun had already entered the classroom as the bell rang under the infatuated gazes of all the girls in the class.

"Xu, why do I feel that you're not quite the same as the last time we met? Why have you become so much fairer?" Guo Zheng came over and sized up Xu Lingjun's face for a while.

He said in surprise, "Could it be that what you said about doing sports with Teacher Wang is true? But when I saw Teacher Wang in the office just now, her complexion hadn't changed much. Could it be that you're unilaterally taking Yin to supplement Yang?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Lingjun glared at him and said, "That's my half-sister."

"Your lover sister?"

"Haven't I already explained our relationship to you?" Xu Lingjun put the books into the drawer and asked, "By the way, I saw two sect disciples at the school gates just now. Do you know about them?"

Guo Zheng, the son of the principal and the director of the school, was the most prestigious rich kid in Qingyang High School. If there was anything one didn't know, it would be right to ask him.

"Are they from the Riyueming Sect?" Guo Zheng snorted and sneered, "My father invited them. He paid a great price to build a connection with the Riyueming Sect. The two of them are the representatives of the Riyueming Sect. They came to Qingyang High School to recruit disciples."

"Skip the Longmen examination and join the sect straight away?" Xu Lingjun was instantly stunned.

The sects were organizations independent of the Empire. If the four great martial arts universities were the four most knowledgeable martial arts academies in human civilization and were directly responsible for the Great Xia Empire, then the sects were the strongest examples of individual centralization of power.

To a certain extent, joining sects brought an even brighter future than joining the four great martial arts universities.

After all, joining sects meant one would enjoy personal guidance, sets of martial techniques and cultivation techniques, as well as abundant treasures, equipment, weapons, and so on.

Within the martial arts universities, everything had to be done by oneself. However, within the sects, the sects would prepare everything for one... the only thing one had to have was loyalty. Loyalty to the sect, and not to the country.

Once one entered a sect, one would be completely branded with the sect's name. In this lifetime, one could never betray the sect till one died.

The sect leaders of the various sects were existences that even the Emperor of the Great Xia Empire could not ignore.

"Rest assured and prepare for class. This matter has nothing to do with us. Why bother being a slave for others for the rest of our lives? Isn't it good enough for me to be a rich kid?" Guo Zheng spread out his hands, smiled, and said, "I have already made a plan. After you enter your ideal university through the Longmen examination this time, I will use my father's connections to repeat a grade. After you leave, I will be the campus beau. With my identity, won't the beauties in the school be at my disposal?"

He laughed evilly and said, "Hehe... Xu, those juniors, if you like any of them, hurry up and mark them. When the time comes, I can promise you that I won't lay a hand on them."

Xu Lingjun rolled his eyes.

He played dead and ignored him.

After a while, the bell for the class rang.

The martial arts instructor, Zhou Qing, hurried in with big steps.

He looked to be in his thirties or forties. He had a crew cut and wore a Chinese tunic suit, which made him look quite capable.

As soon as Zhou Qing entered the class, he said, "Li Lei, Lin Tao, Han Meimei, and Wei Hua, the four of you go to the principal's office."

The four young men and women stood up and walked out.

Zhou Qing glanced at the others in the class and said, "Today, everyone self-study. Review the essence of the seventh body-tempering broadcast gymnastics that I taught you yesterday. If you have any questions, ask me tomorrow!"

As he said this, he was about to leave when Xu Lingjun stood up and called out, "Teacher."

"Lingjun, what's the matter?"

Xu Lingjun stood up and walked to Zhou Qing's side. He said, "I had some enlightenments last night and broke through. I want to apply for the tier test alone!"

"A breakthrough?" Zhou Qing's eyes lit up and he asked, "What tier?"

Xu Lingjun said uncertainly, "It should be stage 8 of the Body-tempering Tier."

"Stage 8?" Hearing this, Zhou Qing sighed and said, "Alright, I got it. Wait for a while. I really can't spare time right now. Stay behind after school and I'll help you do the test alone. Sigh... What a pity."

He patted Xu Lingjun on the shoulder, then turned around and walked out.

Breaking through at such a time, yet... it was indeed a pity.
