Second Update.
…
Qin Fang had a simple meal in the dojo. Although it couldn't be compared to the restaurants outside, the food was obviously better than the school cafeteria. Even the bowls were wide.
People who practiced martial arts consumed a lot of energy, so their appetite was also quite large. This way, they could replenish their energy as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it wouldn't be strengthening the body, but rather damaging it.
Looking at those senior brothers stuffing food into their mouths, Qin Fang's appetite also increased greatly. On the basis of his original appetite, he had almost half of his original appetite.
After resting for a while and digesting the food in his stomach, Qin Fang continued to increase his combo points. Luo Shixiong and the others watched in amazement. They were very envious of Qin Fang's abnormal strength and recovery.
"Xiao Qin, why are you here?"
Qin Fang was busy when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around and saw that the person was the dojo master of the Xingyi Dojo, Cai Pingyuan. He was the old man that Qin Fang met at Fantastic Stone Shop.
"Elder Cai, hello … I'm here to learn from you!"
After a short moment of surprise, Qin Fang immediately put down the stone in his hand and greeted Cai Pingyuan politely with a smile.
Cai Pingyuan's appearance surprised Qin Fang. Although Qin Fang knew that Cai Pingyuan was the dojo master of the Xingyi Dojo, Qin Fang also heard from Ning Yumo that Cai Pingyuan had been in charge of the dojo ever since she graduated from university. Cai Pingyuan only came to take a look occasionally. He mainly stayed in the backyard to train his disciples.
As for the few disciples here, although they were all inner disciples, they were still training their basic skills, so they were handed over to Cai Qing to train. Cai Ping rarely came to watch.
If it wasn't for this, Ning Yumo wouldn't have brought Qin Fang here to get in through the back door. Elder Cai was famous for his strict requirements. Without enough basic skills, he wouldn't allow anyone to get in through the back door.
"I see … By the way, Xiao Luo, where did Qing Qing go?
Why aren't you here with Xiao Qin? "
Cai Pingyuan nodded and immediately asked Senior Brother Luo and the others.
"Master, Senior Sister Qing went out to eat with Miss Ning. Junior Brother Qin was brought here by Miss Ning. Senior Sister Qing arranged for him to train with me!"
Senior Brother Luo didn't dare to hide anything from Cai Pingyuan. He immediately told him the truth, including Cai Qing's arrangement.
"Trained with you guys in the past?
Stop fooling around … "
When Cai Pingyuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry as he cursed under his breath.
"Elder Cai, it's actually nothing. I can still take it …"
Although he didn't get along with Cai Qing, he had entered the martial arts center through Cai Qing's back door. He owed her a favor. Since Elder Cai had spoken like this, it would be a bit inappropriate if Qin Fang didn't speak up for Cai Qing.
"I'm not talking about this …"
To Qin Fang's surprise, Elder Cai shook her head and said, "Xiao Qin, have you learned some martial arts before?"
"Uh …"
Qin Fang was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect Cai Pingyuan to be able to tell at a glance that he had learned martial arts. "You can say that. I learned a little from my roommates a month ago!"
Qin Fang was more honest and immediately nodded.
"What did you learn?"
Elder Cai nodded with a smile on her face. She didn't seem to be unhappy at all.
"A set of breathing exercises and a set of very simple fist techniques …"
Qin Fang hesitated a little and said it.
"Breathing exercises?
You learned it? "
As soon as this sentence came out, Cai Pingyuan's face changed slightly. He immediately asked nervously and anxiously.
"I learned it …"
Qin Fang was even more puzzled. He didn't understand why Cai Pingyuan became so anxious when he heard about breathing exercises. However, out of respect for the other party, he still admitted it.
"Good, good, that's great …"
Seeing Qin Fang nodding his head, Cai Pingyuan's face suddenly became happy. He even said a few words of "good".
"Xiao Qin, don't practice this for now. Come with me …"
Qin Fang had a strange look on his face. However, Cai Pingyuan didn't give Qin Fang any chance to ask any questions. With a light flick of his wrist, the stone lock in Qin Fang's hand fell from Qin Fang's hand and heavily fell to the ground. It made a dull sound and scared Luo Shixiong and the others.
They didn't dare to make a fuss. If it was said that Cai Qing used violence to make them obedient, then Cai Pingyuan, as a master, was known for his strictness.
Just like that, Qin Fang was dragged away by Cai Pingyuan. Although he had the advantage of + 10 to all his Attributes, in front of an expert like Cai Pingyuan, he couldn't resist at all. He didn't even have the strength to struggle. He was directly dragged away to the backyard.
Compared to the front courtyard and middle courtyard, the backyard seemed to be where the Cai Family lived. It still had the ancient layout of a large courtyard. The east and west wings, etc. It really did have the feel of a large courtyard.
Cai Pingyuan led Qin Fang to a place that resembled an ancestral hall. Qin Fang could even see some memorial tablets enshrined inside from the entrance.
"Xiao Qin, do you want to become my disciple?"
Cai Pingyuan asked nervously. His bright eyes were filled with longing, as if he was afraid that Qin Fang would refuse.
"Elder Cai, you … you can't be thinking of accepting me as your disciple, right?"
Qin Fang was shocked when he heard Cai Pingyuan's words. He looked at the old man in front of him, who was obviously in his sixties or seventies, and asked in disbelief.
This old man was indeed quite old, but his skills were really impressive. Qin Fang checked the information of the Level 5 Cai Qing, but he couldn't find anything about Cai Pingyuan. Cai Pingyuan was at least a Level 6 expert. He was definitely a ferocious existence.
If Qin Fang spent some time, he could also reach Cai Pingyuan's level. However, the gap between the two of them was too huge. Even if he fought Cai Pingyuan's granddaughter, Cai Qing, he would only be defeated.
Hearing Qin Fang's question, Cai Pingyuan nodded and said, "Xiao Qin, to tell you the truth, although this dojo's business is good and there are more than ten disciples, none of them can inherit this old man's legacy."
"Isn't Senior Qing …"
Hearing Cai Pingyuan's words, Qin Fang immediately thought of Cai Qing, who had already reached Level 5.
Although he didn't know Cai Pingyuan's exact level, Cai Qing was only in her twenties and had already reached Level 5. It shouldn't be difficult for her to catch up with Cai Pingyuan in a few years' time.
"You're wrong … she can't do it either!"
Cai Pingyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Xing Yi Fist, Tai Chi, and Eight Trigrams Palm are the three major Internal Fist Techniques. Other than the moves, the most important thing is to cultivate Qi … which is what you call breathing."
"Qing Qing can be considered the most talented descendant of our Cai Family in the past few decades, but …" Cai Pingyuan couldn't help but choke up.
"Qing Qing has been practicing martial arts since she was young. She can learn all kinds of moves very quickly. However, she can't learn how to cultivate Qi no matter how hard she tries. That's why she mainly works on the moves. Now, she can be considered to have a small achievement. Perhaps she can take another step forward. However, if she wants to develop further, it's not very possible, unless a miracle appears …"
"In the Cai Family, other than Qing Qing, no one else can reach Qing Qing's level of achievement. In addition to the current social environment, many of the Cai Family's descendants have gone to sea to do business. They've even thrown away the martial arts passed down by their ancestors …"
Hearing Elder Cai's words, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel a little emotional. At the same time, he also understood Cai Pingyuan's feelings. After all, Cai Pingyuan was a true martial arts master, especially an old man. He was naturally very concerned about the inheritance of his family's martial arts.
"Actually, over the years, I've also looked for some good martial arts seedlings. Among my dozen or so disciples, there are a few who are quite good. I plan to focus on cultivating them. I even plan to choose one of them to marry into the Cai Family …"
Hearing this, Qin Fang's first thought was that fierce beauty, Cai Qing. Obviously, when Elder Cai said that he would marry into the Cai Family, he was most likely going to marry the tigress Cai Qing. How could an ordinary person tame such a tigress? If she fought, she could definitely beat a man into a vegetative state. When he thought about Cai Qing's special sexual orientation, he couldn't help but have an extremely strange expression on his face.
"Sigh, it's just that I thought too simply!
Xiao Qin, I think you should have seen it for yourself. Qing Qing has been practicing martial arts with a group of boys since she was young, but I didn't expect that when she grew up, her personality would be seriously distorted. Now, she doesn't like men, and instead … "
Cai Pingyuan's expression was quite pained when he said this, and Qin Fang could understand this.
"Elder Cai, this isn't necessarily irreparable. Perhaps we can find a few psychologists to take a look. Perhaps they can change Senior Sister Qing's sexual orientation!"
Qin Fang said with a smile. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to get involved. The only reason he could save Cai Pingyuan's face was because Cai Pingyuan was good to him.
"Let's not talk about this, it's too far from the point … Xiao Qin, as long as you agree to be my disciple, then this old man will definitely not hide anything from you. I will definitely teach you the complete essence of Xingyi Martial Arts and let you inherit my mantle!"
Cai Pingyuan wiped away his tears and squeezed out a slight smile on his face. He was very serious as he expressed this.
"Elder Cai, this … you may have misunderstood. I practice martial arts only to strengthen my body. As for the rest …" If it was only about becoming his disciple, Qin Fang would have agreed without hesitation.
However, when Cai Pingyuan said that he wanted to inherit his mantle, Qin Fang refused. First of all, this was the martial arts passed down in the Cai Family. Secondly, Cai Pingyuan seemed to be planning to let the person who inherited his mantle marry the tigress Cai Qing.
Cai Qing was as beautiful as a flower, but Qin Fang … really didn't have the slightest interest in her.
