Chapter 72

Slowly extending his hands, Xiao Sheng, who had just put away his stern demeanor, revealed a faint smile on his face. In the scuffle, he had subtly conveyed his unwillingness to become enemies. Being of the same root, from the other party's retreating steps, it was clear that they had understood Xiao Sheng's friendly intentions. [Com text]

"Yongchun is a martial art that combines internal boxing and close combat, emphasizing the state of mind. Your fundamentals are solid, but your state of mind still needs refinement. Don't always think about how to knock the other person down with one hit; instead, learn to wait, endure, observe, and strike with flexibility, avoiding rigidity. Short bridges and narrow horses, focusing on the power of an inch." His eloquent words revealed the essence of Yongchun and pointed out the big man's shortcomings in the fight. After hearing Xiao Sheng's words, the woman who had urged the big man to fight Xiao Sheng was the most surprised. She never expected that in just a few minutes, Xiao Sheng could pinpoint the big man's weaknesses, which matched what her own master had said!

Covering his fist with a single palm, the big man named Er Pao returned the gesture to Xiao Sheng and said softly, "Thank you for your guidance, Er Pao will remember it." Xiao Sheng, who also returned the gesture, replied humbly, "It's not guidance, let's improve together."

After saying this, Xiao Sheng couldn't help but turn his gaze to the woman who had 'instigated the conflict.' He smiled frankly and said softly, "My sister spoke rudely after drinking, please forgive her." Seeing Xiao Sheng lower his stance, the woman didn't want to prolong the matter but still replied with a slightly cold tone, "No problem, just teach her better, don't cause more trouble. In this society, there are many people with deeper backgrounds than yours, not just your family!"

Hearing this, Tong Tong, who had been spoiled, was about to argue, but Xiao Sheng suddenly turned his head, and Tong Tong immediately lost some of her courage and took a half step back.

The fight had also caught the attention of the security personnel inside Shengshi Huangchao. But when they saw the woman in casual attire, they immediately chose to remain silent. Xiao Sheng, who had noticed this detail during the fight, switched from offense to defense, countering the moves! From this situation, it seemed that the woman had some connection with the boss of Shengshi Huangchao. On their territory, Xiao Sheng was confident he could leave with Tong Tong, but her classmates would be in trouble!

The pointless conflict was quelled by Xiao Sheng's retreat. As he turned to lead Tong Tong and the others away, he couldn't help but glance at the pale-faced girl who had been bumped by Tong Tong, frowning in suspicion without saying much. But this expression did not escape the notice of the 'instigator' woman, who hurriedly called out, "Wait."

Xiao Sheng, who had already turned his head to think about something, couldn't help but stop and turn to look at her. The fiery-tempered Tong Tong, upon turning her head, angrily shouted, "What? Are you never going to stop?"

The woman, who had rushed over, gave Tong Tong a cold look but ignored her. She clasped her fist in a respectful gesture and said to Xiao Sheng, "Big brother, my sister has had a hidden illness since childhood. Do you have any way to cure it?"

Xiao Sheng, with an exaggerated expression, half-opened his mouth and then replied, "Ah? Miss, I only know how to hit people, not how to save them. Sorry."

Hearing Xiao Sheng's words, the woman was somewhat disappointed but still pulled out a business card from her bag and handed it to Xiao Sheng with both hands, smiling and sweetly saying, "Regardless, thank you for your guidance to my brother Er Pao. This is my business card. There are fewer and fewer people practicing martial arts in this society. Let's be friends. My name is Yan Ruxue."

Xiao Sheng, with a respectful expression, took the business card and examined it. It read: Director of the Planning Department, Shangyu Culture Company. Xiao Sheng vaguely remembered that Shengshi Huangchao seemed to belong to Shangyu Culture Company. After learning this, he understood the security personnel's 'cowardice.'

Gently holding the woman's hand and letting go like a dragonfly touching water, Xiao Sheng smiled and said, "Xiao Sheng, assistant to the president of Huaxin, basically a personal bodyguard, just making a living. I don't have a business card."

"No problem, just call the number on my card, and I'll save it. When we have time, we can spar together!" Seeing her persistent attitude, Xiao Sheng smiled and nodded, taking out his old Nokia keypad phone from the 1990s and dialing her number. After receiving the call from Xiao Sheng, the woman, whose Yongchun skills were no less than the big man Er Pao, smiled and left with her sister!

Holding the business card, Xiao Sheng frowned, his face more serious. This woman gave him a dangerous vibe, especially her sharp observational skills, which made him feel like she could see through him!

"Yan Ruxue? Yan family of Fujian? Birthplace of Yongchun? Then why does her sister have this 'strange illness'?" Just as Xiao Sheng was lost in thought, Tong Tong, who had been standing behind him, punched him with her chubby fist, her voice full of anger, "They're gone, look, look, look, don't let your eyeballs fall out."

After saying this, Tong Tong turned and walked back to the private room! Xiao Sheng, who turned and smiled bitterly, scratched his head and followed the girls back!

This originally intended 'farce' birthday party ultimately enhanced Xiao Sheng's reputation. After seeing his real skills, the slightly infatuated girls all wanted to be his disciples. Even Ah Cai, the male representative who was drunk and wobbling, took advantage of the alcohol to kneel in front of Xiao Sheng, hugging his legs tightly, determined not to get up until Xiao Sheng accepted him.

Helplessly, Xiao Sheng accepted the drinks they offered one by one and, before leaving, set a training plan for them. Just the early morning 5-kilometer cross-country run made these pampered rich second-generation kids wary, but some still patted their chests and promised to complete it!

Although the birthday party wasn't perfect, Xiao Sheng had fulfilled his promise to Chen Shuyuan. However, while driving Tong Tong home, she pouted, for no other reason than that none of her plans for the evening had been completed, and instead, Xiao Sheng's reputation had been enhanced. Seeing her girls and boys call Xiao Sheng 'master' as they left, Tong Tong's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She had spent money, only to make a bride for Xiao Sheng.

Most importantly, she had encountered a woman whose arrogance rivaled her own. The not-so-dumb Tong Tong had already assessed the pros and cons from Xiao Sheng's explanation, but as the birthday girl, she was still extremely unhappy.
