Chapter 452: I’ll Rent This Martial Arts School!
Li Mobai was stunned when he heard that. Anger flashed in his eyes.
His master’s leg had been suffering for over two years. Because he had injured his muscles and bones, it was impossible for him to recover. There was even a steel plate nailed to his knee.
No one dared to mention his leg in front of their master anymore. However, this girl was so rash and said what she said just now.
Treat his master’s leg?
Even he would have some doubts if the best doctor in China said this, let alone a young lady.
Yang Jie smiled needlessly and thought that this girl was joking in her hurry.
It seemed that this child was very sincere in learning martial arts, but…
Yang Jie was not angry at Jian Ai for mentioning his leg condition. Two years had pa.s.sed, and he had long accepted this reality.
Slowing his tone, Yang Jie explained earnestly, “I didn’t mean to deliberately refuse you, but my Longxing Martial Arts School is no longer the same as before. It won’t be long before it closes down.”
“Master!”
Without waiting for Jian Ai and the rest to react, Li Mobai hurriedly said, “Don’t say these things anymore. With us disciples around, we definitely won’t let the martial arts school close!”
Jian Ai and the rest frowned but looked at each other.
This martial arts school was indeed a little cold. Could it be that it had already reached the point of closing down?
Yang Jie looked at Li Mobai, and his eyes looked relieved. He said calmly, “How can I let you fork out money to maintain the livelihood of the martial arts school? Besides, the rental is ending next month. We have rented this huge martial arts school for almost a hundred thousand yuan a year. How can you afford it?”
“But…” Li Mobai’s handsome face was filled with anxiety. However, when he heard the rental price of one hundred thousand yuan, he felt like a fishbone was stuck in his throat. He didn’t know how to persuade him.
Jian Ai finally understood.
The most direct reason for this martial arts school’s closure was none other than the most direct financial problem.
This was not Longxing Martial Arts School’s owned yard. Instead, it was rented!
It was not only Longxing Martial Arts School. All the surrounding houses had landlords. Each year, just the rent of these martial arts schools could be charged up to a million yuan.
The total area was a few hundred square meters, and it was the origin of Baiyun City’s martial arts schools. The rent naturally increased year by year.
“Master Yang!” Jian Ai immediately said, “I can rent this martial arts school!”
Jian Ai knew it was a little presumptuous of her to say this, but this was her instinctive thought, or the only way.
Yang Jie was a proud person, so he naturally wouldn’t agree to Jian Ai’s words, even if Jian Ai and the rest looked like they had financial strength from their dressing.
He immediately shook his head and wanted to refuse. However, before he could say anything, Jian Ai interrupted him and said, “Since Longxing Martial Arts School has reached the point where it has no choice but to close, I think any room for maneuver is better than the current situation.”
“I know that Master Yang won’t accept my suggestion easily. After all, I’m not from Longxing Martial Arts School, and I have no relation with you or the martial arts school. It doesn’t seem reasonable to do so.”
“But I am such a person. I did this for no one else but myself.”
“Think about it. Will you watch helplessly as the martial arts school with a hundred years of history closes down in your hands in the end, or will you gamble again?”
