Chapter 113

The next day, it was raining heavily. After the autumn rain and the cold, the weather had already turned cold.

There wasn't much work to do in the medicine field, so He Tianshu brought Nie Xiao Er and the rest to walk around the medicine field before returning.

Zhang Xiaohua was still thinking about her fist technique. When He Tianshu returned, she couldn't wait to find out where Elder Yu lived. She opened an umbrella and walked towards the backyard.

Elder Yu lived quite a distance away from Zhang Xiaohua's courtyard, but it was very close to the dining hall. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but think maliciously, was it because Elder Yu was old and couldn't walk properly? Was it because he didn't want to delay the meal?

Even with Elder Yu's martial arts skills, he wasn't at the level where he could walk in the rain without getting wet. Thus, he stayed in the house and didn't go out. Zhang Xiaohua knocked on the door and entered the house.

Elder Yu's house was very simple. It was even cleaner than Zhang Xiaohua's house, but there were a few more cabinets. When Zhang Xiaohua entered the house, Elder Yu was sitting cross-legged on the kang bed. When he saw that it was Zhang Xiaohua, he slowly got off the bed and looked at Zhang Xiaohua's wet shoulders. "Zhang Xiaohua, it's raining so heavily. Why didn't you stay in the house and think about that sword technique? What are you doing here?

Could it be that you've improved again after a night? "

Zhang Xiaohua bitterly smiled and said, "Elder Yu, do you think I'm a genius that only appears once every fifty years? Just those sixteen transformations will take me a lifetime to learn, and I won't be able to master them like the back of my hand, not to mention the other three transformations. Look at my hand."

As she spoke, she raised her right hand in front of Elder Yu and bent her fingers a few times.

She continued, "Perhaps I'll only be able to learn the essence of the other three variations when my right hand can fully form a fist."

Elder Yu comforted Zhang Xiaohua at this time, "You don't have to give up. When the heavens are about to give you a great responsibility, they must first test your will. Perhaps this is the heavens' test for you."

Zhang Xiaohua declined to comment and said, "I've read this sentence in a book before. Maybe."

Then, he frowned and said, "Elder Yu, don't change the topic. I'm here today to borrow your fist manual. You promised me before."

Elder Yu slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I'm really old now. I almost forgot.

However, the fist art you are learning … "

Zhang Xiaohua smiled. "Elder Yu, are you trying to persuade me again?"

Elder Yu fell silent.

Zhang Xiaohua said, "In life, one must have some goals. Before I came to Ping Yang City, I wanted to practice martial arts. If I gave up because of the injury on my arm, wouldn't it be too hasty?

Moreover, my injuries aren't that serious. Elder Yu, don't you only have a right arm?

Aren't you also a martial arts expert? "

Elder Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I knew you would say this to me.

Actually, you only know one thing and not the other. First of all, before I was injured, my martial arts were only second-rate in Jianghu. Now that I have lost my left arm, my martial arts have been reduced to less than sixty percent of my peak.

Moreover, I only got injured after I achieved great success in my martial arts. Although it affected my martial arts, it wasn't as serious as yours. For someone like you to have such a big problem in your palm before you started practicing martial arts, it would be difficult for you to achieve great success no matter what martial arts you practice.

It's just like how a person's family has declined before he reached adulthood. If you want him to revive his family business, it will be extremely difficult. However, if he succeeds in starting his own business and his family falls, it will naturally be much easier for him to start his own business. It will even be more glorious than the former. "

When Zhang Xiaohua heard Elder Yu's words, her face was as gloomy as the sky outside. After a while, she said, "But, I'm still unwilling to accept it."

Elder Yu sighed and said, "Seeing how crazily you practice, I knew you wouldn't be able to let it go. That's why I taught you the sword moves. Hehe, do as you wish. The martial arts manual is on the bookshelf over there. I haven't looked at it in a long time."

Zhang Xiaohua followed his words and walked to a bookshelf. Sure enough, there were many books on the shelf. When she looked carefully, there were martial arts manuals and sword manuals. The collection was quite extensive. However, when Zhang Xiaohua flipped through the ten or so manuals, she realized that they were all martial arts manuals that she had seen at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency before. They were also some of the more popular martial arts manuals in the martial arts world.

Elder Yu also looked at Zhang Xiaohua flipping through this and that and felt that it was strange. He asked, "You can take whichever book you want to read. Remember to return it to me."

Zhang Xiaohua turned around and asked, "Elder Yu, are there any other martial arts manuals? These seem to be common martial arts manuals in the martial arts world."

Elder Yu smiled and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, although these martial arts manuals are common in the martial arts world, they aren't something that just anyone can find. You can pick one and look at it first. If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me.

I naturally don't have any of the martial arts manuals in the sect, so you don't have to look through them.

If I could teach you, I would have told you long ago. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked curiously, "Then can you tell me what martial arts are taught in the sect?

Or martial arts manuals? "

Elder Yu thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "These things, if you're fated, you'll know sooner or later. If not, what's the use of telling you? It'll only add to your worries."

Then, he pointed to the martial arts manuals and said, "Don't look down on these manuals. Although they're the most common, they're also the most practical. After so many years and so many people's tests, if you can master them, it'll be an amazing thing."

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but blush and said, "This, Elder Yu, you know my aptitude. I always forget the moves, so there's nothing I can do about it."

Elder Yu blinked and said, "Then all the more you should read through a manual properly. Only then will you be able to memorize it properly."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "It's not like that, Elder Yu. Sigh, forget it, I'll just read this one."

Seeing that she couldn't win against Elder Yu, Zhang Xiaohua didn't intend to explain and casually took out a manual. She didn't even look at the name and put it away. She bid farewell to Elder Yu and returned with a lack of interest.

Elder Yu looked at Zhang Xiaohua's thin back and shook his head helplessly. He said in a low voice, "This child, sigh, she's really a little stubborn."

Since he had some emotions, he stopped meditating and walked down from the kang bed to the bookshelf that Zhang Xiaohua was looking at. Looking at the dusty bookshelf, Elder Yu couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He didn't know how long it had been since he looked at these things. Ever since he was injured, he had lost a lot of his ambition and didn't have the same motivation as Zhang Xiaohua. Perhaps he should do something else?

After Elder Yu finished sighing, he turned around and suddenly found a book wedged between the bookshelf. He carefully pulled it out with a stick and found that it was another martial arts manual. He didn't know when it had fallen in there.

Elder Yu blew the dust off it and casually placed it back on the shelf.

Zhang Xiaohua held onto the manual and held onto the umbrella as she walked back. She was very depressed. To be honest, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. She originally thought that she could get a few manuals from Elder Yu that she hadn't learned before to make up for her moves. Who knew that she would end up empty-handed?

This result was something that she had never expected.

But when he thought about it, this was normal. The Lotus Flower Escort Agency's martial arts training hall was a place for teaching and educating people. Naturally, there would be a sufficient collection of fist art manuals. Elder Yu, on the other hand, was merely interested in it. Since he could finish reading all the fist art manuals in the martial arts training hall, Elder Yu shouldn't have any new discoveries. In fact, it would be strange if Elder Yu really found a fist art manual that he hadn't seen in the escort agency.

She had been too impatient before.

Thinking up to this point, Zhang Xiaohua's depression lessened by half. The only thing left was where to find a manual.

Did she have to go to the Misty School to find one?

This was too unrealistic.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaohua walked back to the small courtyard.

The moment she entered the small courtyard, Zhang Xiaohua saw that the door to her room was open from afar.

Zhang Xiaohua couldn't help but feel strange. Could it be that she didn't close the door when she went out?

That's not right. She seemed to have closed the door before leaving.

When she got closer, she heard a familiar voice coming from the room. Although she couldn't hear it clearly due to the sound of the rain, Zhang Xiaohua still quickened her footsteps and ran to the door, shouting, "Second Brother, is that you?"

As expected, Zhang Xiaohu's voice sounded from inside the room, "Xiaohua, you're back?"

When Zhang Xiaohua entered the room, she saw that other than Zhang Xiaohu, He Tianshu, and Li Jinfeng were also in the room.

Zhang Xiaohu walked to the door and took the umbrella from Zhang Xiaohua's hands and helped her put it away. He was as attentive as when he was in Zhang Xiaohu's room at the escort agency.

He Tianshu stood in the middle of the room. When he saw that Zhang Xiaohua had returned, he said to Zhang Xiaohu and Li Jinfeng, "Zhang Xiaohua is back, so I won't keep you company. You're welcome to come by often in the future."

Zhang Xiaohu and Li Jinfeng quickly said, "Thank you, Captain He. Let's talk more in the future if there's a chance."

He Tianshu nodded at Zhang Xiaohua and said, "Take good care of your brother and friends."

Then, he went back to his room.

Zhang Xiaohua watched as He Tianshu left. He turned around and asked excitedly, "Second Brother, why did you suddenly come to my place today?

Oh right, Young Master Li, are you free too? "

Li Jinfeng walked forward and said with a smile, "You little rascal, you ran quite fast. I said that I would send you back to the villa last time. When I arrived at the escort agency after you were almost recovered, you and your second brother were not there. I asked around and found out that you had returned long ago. Your second brother actually ran out too. I made a wasted trip.

It's my day off today. I was bored at the Academy, so I came out. I wanted to see you, but I didn't know how to find you. That's why I dragged your second brother over. "

Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Second Brother, when did you come back?

Did it go well? "

Zhang Xiaohu smiled and said, "I've been back for a few days. Didn't I tell you that it was near Ping Yang City? It's not that far. This is the influence of the Misty School. We just went out to gain experience. It's not a big deal."

Then, he looked at Zhang Xiaohua's right hand and said, "I've always wanted to come and see you. I don't know how your hand has recovered. There's nothing going on at the Heavy Rain Escort Agency today. We were just staying in the room when Young Master Li came. Haha, we came to see you together."

Zhang Xiaohua knew that her second brother and Li Jinfeng were worried about her. She stretched out her right hand and made a few forceful grabs. "Look, it's fine now. Leader He said that as long as I practice diligently, there's still hope for me to recover."

Zhang Xiaohu did not expose her and said, "That's the best. Take your time and practice more."

Li Jinfeng was also very happy. He said, "That's great. I'll be able to see you practice martial arts very soon. Oh right, I saw that there were books on your bed and table. Looks like you're also very focused on your studies. Not bad, you're actually proficient in both literature and martial arts."

Zhang Xiaohua was a little embarrassed. She said, "I'm not as good as Young Master Li said. I just blindly read when I have nothing to do."

Then, Zhang Xiaohua talked about some of the problems she encountered when reading books with Li Jinfeng. There were many questions, but when Li Jinfeng finished answering them all, he couldn't help but have a whole new level of respect for Zhang Xiaohua. He said, "Zhang Xiaohua, you're really not bad. If you didn't look at these questions in depth, you wouldn't have such deep feelings. You're really amazing. I admire you."

Hearing Li Jinfeng praise his younger brother, Zhang Xiaohu was very happy. When the two finished their discussion, he interrupted and asked, "Xiaohua, are you still practicing martial arts?"

Zhang Xiaohua smiled bitterly and said, "I'm still practicing, but I haven't made any progress."

Zhang Xiaohu misunderstood. He thought that he was still practicing forgetful things and didn't know about Zhang Xiaohua's true situation. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Practice slowly. One day, you'll succeed."

Zhang Xiaohua said, "I know, Second Brother. I haven't given up. I'm still working hard.

Oh right, what about that internal strength cultivation method of yours? "

Looking at Zhang Xiaohua's expectant face, Zhang Xiaohu smiled bitterly and said, "Sigh, don't be envious of me. This inner strength mantra is not that mysterious. You'll know when you start practicing it. Right now, I'm just barely able to sense Qi. I've been running darts for a while now, so I haven't been practicing it myself. In my free time, I've been practicing my Six Complementary Fists. However, I've listened to you and practiced the South Branch Fists from time to time. After all, I've learned something from it."

I've learned a lot from it. "Zhang Xiaohua happily listened to his second brother's words. He was happy for his second brother's improvement. Suddenly, he seemed to have grasped something. But when he thought about it carefully, he didn't understand. Thus, he used his left hand to grab Zhang Xiaohu's arm and urgently asked," Second Brother, what did you just say?

Say it again? "

Zhang Xiaohu's mouth was crooked. He gasped in pain and said, "Xiaohua, hurry and let go. Be gentle. Why did you use so much strength?"

Zhang Xiaohua finally realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly let go and said embarrassedly, "Heehee, Second Brother, I'm sorry. What you said just now seemed to have reminded me of something. Don't mind it. Hurry and say it again."

Zhang Xiaohu was confused and said, "Didn't I just say that I listened to your suggestion and practiced the Nanzhi Quan? It's a good idea to learn from my previous fist techniques."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "That's not it. What else?"

Zhang Xiaohu frowned and said, "Also, the internal strength cultivation method isn't as mysterious as you think. Right now, I only have a bit of Qi. I didn't say anything else."

Zhang Xiaohua thought for a moment again, but still shook his head.

Zhang Xiaohu had no choice and said, "That's all. I didn't say anything else. When I was running darts, I couldn't calm down and practice the internal strength cultivation method. I could only practice fist techniques. Other than the Liuhe Quan and the Nanzhi Quan, I'm not very familiar with the others."

Hearing the three words "Liuhe Quan", Zhang Xiaohua's mind flashed. Hehe, that's right. It's this Liuhe Quan. No wonder Second Brother said something that moved him so much. He had practiced more than a hundred fist techniques, but he didn't learn this Liuhe Quan. Ai, what did it mean to turn a blind eye to something familiar?

It was probably referring to this kind of situation.

Actually, this matter was extremely coincidental. When He Tianshu was teaching Zhang Xiaohua fist techniques, Zhang Xiaohua mentioned that he had seen others execute the Liuhe Quan, but he didn't manage to master even half a move. Furthermore, the Liuhe Quan was famous for its complexity. When He Tianshu saw Zhang Xiaohua's terrifying memory, he couldn't remember to teach him this fist technique no matter what. Perhaps he had chosen to forget.

When Zhang Xiaohua was studying the fist technique manual at the Lotus Flower Escort Agency, it wasn't that the agency didn't have a Liuhe Quan fist technique manual. However, because Zhang Xiaohu was famous for practicing the Liuhe Quan, many people went to the library to borrow the Liuhe Quan fist technique manual to study, hoping to learn something from it. Therefore, the library's fist technique manual had long been borrowed, and Zhang Xiaohua naturally didn't see it.

During the days when Zhang Xiaohu was practicing the Liuhe Quan at the agency, Zhang Xiaohua was concentrating on studying other fist technique manuals. Of course, he didn't think of learning the fist technique that his second brother was so good at. In fact, the fist technique manual that fell from the gap of the bookshelf in Elder Yu's room might have been the Liuhe Quan fist technique manual.

In short, due to various coincidences, Zhang Xiaohua finally remembered that he still had a fist technique that he was most familiar with. It was also the fist technique that he had seen for the first time, the Liuhe Quan fist technique. He hadn't learned it yet!

Sigh, fate makes fools of people.

However, since he found another fist technique that he hadn't learned yet, Zhang Xiaohua was still half happy and half worried. He might be able to complete the Liuhe Quan fist technique, or he might not. In short, he couldn't hold too much hope this time. He only hoped that he could learn a move or half a move from it.

Since the person who could teach him this fist technique was his second brother, there was no need for Zhang Xiaohua to be polite. He immediately asked Zhang Xiaohu to set up a stance and teach him.

Zhang Xiaohu was even more confused. They had only spoken for a short while, and this younger brother of his was already asking him to teach him the Liuhe Quan fist technique. Although he didn't mind, when he looked at Li Jinfeng standing beside him and sized up the slightly cramped room, Zhang Xiaohu was a little hesitant.

Li Jinfeng seemed to have noticed Zhang Xiaohu's hesitation and hurriedly said, "Brother Zhang, you don't have to mind me. I know Xiaohua's temperament. Moreover, he is also my initiate student. I am also very happy to see his improvement."

Zhang Xiaohua finally realized his rudeness and said, "My apologies, Young Master Li. I will talk to you after I finish learning this fist technique."

Zhang Xiaohu then said, "Xiaohua, isn't this room a little small?

You might not be able to use it. My room at the escort agency is bigger than this, so I can use it in the room. "

Zhang Xiaohua rubbed his chin and said, "It's okay, Second Brother. You can practice slowly and just teach me. I will forget all these moves."

Li Jinfeng was stunned when he heard this. What was this? He was teaching you a fist technique, and you said you would forget it. Then why was he teaching you?

Zhang Xiaohu understood his meaning. He tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Alright, since it's like this, I will start teaching you now."
