“Hey, good morning, third uncle!”
“Oh, Wen Hao, Good Morning!”
“Good morning, third uncle!”A group of juniors in the backyard hurriedly greeted him.
“En… Good Morning, the young men are all in good spirits!”Liu Jianchao laughed as he walked past them. “What are the young men doing together?”
The young man who first greeted them smiled brightly when he heard this. “I just saw uncle he practicing martial arts in the backyard. I heard that uncle he is an expert in internal martial arts, so I came here out of curiosity to practice with him. I didn’t expect that my younger brothers and sisters would come to join in the fun. I’ve disturbed uncle he’s practice…”. “…”
“It’s alright, it’s Alright…”the skinny man beside him said, the old man, whose eyes were unusually bright, laughed heartily and said, “It’s a good thing that young people like to practice martial arts. Spending some time to strengthen their bodies is better than sitting on the phone all day.”Then, he looked at the young man called Wen Hao with a satisfied expression. “Wen Hao, your foundation is pretty good. Who is the teacher that taught you?”
The young man smiled embarrassedly and said, “I’m not really a teacher. I just received a few pointers from old man Fang Yuanqing and learned a little…”
“Master Fang Yuanqing?”Old Man he was stunned when he heard that. Then, his eyes lit up, he nodded repeatedly. “You’re lucky, Kid. He’s not someone ordinary people can invite. Back then, when old man Li brought his grandson to study, he was rejected. You have to seize this opportunity, Kid.”
“Eh… Wenhao Knows!”Liu Wenhao immediately smiled when he heard that.
Liu Jianchao was slightly taken aback when he heard this. He had heard of Fang Yuanqing’s reputation before. He was a grandmaster of internal martial arts and was one of the few extraordinary individuals who had been recruited by the government. Usually, he would only listen to the leader’s words, he did not sell his troops to those family magnates at all.
This second son’s child was really becoming more and more promising. He was actually able to receive guidance from that Grandmaster…
Although the old master and the others usually did not like these extraordinary masters who pretended to be aloof, they were actually envious in their hearts. As the saying goes, power does not last for more than three generations, and wealth does not last for more than five generations, no matter how powerful and influential a family was, there was still a limit to the number of generations that could benefit the younger generation. After all, this was not the ancient times, and their titles could be passed down from generation to generation.
However, these secret martial arts were passed down from generation to generation. The few families in the capital that had secret inheritances were still standing high up in the clouds despite having gone through several generations? The Liu family might seem mighty now, but they were still not on the same level as the real families that had been passed down for thousands of years.
The reason why Fang Yuanqing was so highly regarded was firstly because he had broken through to transcendence by himself, and secondly because he did not have any descendants. His only granddaughter was still adopted.
This was completely different from the people sent out by the major sects. This skill was very likely to be passed down to outsiders. This was also why the old man of the Li family had the cheek to personally bring his grandson to study.
Now that the second son had such a good fortune, the old man would probably be happy for a long time…
Looking at the energetic young man in front of him, Liu Jianchao sighed slightly. Wen Hao was indeed an outstanding child. In the three generations, even the eldest son, Wen Qing, who had already obtained the status of a member of the federation, might not be able to match up to him. However, his thoughts were too heavy…
He had intentionally revealed this matter through old he’s practice. It was obvious that he wanted old he to pass it on to the old man so that the old man would pay more attention to him. In his opinion, there was actually no need to treat his family like this.., that was your grandfather. If you have any results, just tell him directly. This sort of intentional and casual disclosure would instead appear pretentious.
If he really wanted to keep a low profile, he should be like that child from the fifth family…
Thinking of that child from the fifth family, Liu Jianchao’s eyes lit up. He walked forward and put his hand on elder he’s shoulder. “Old he, come over to my place and have a taste of the Kunlun snow tea i brought. I happen to have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”Old He was stunned.
“Come on, with tea leaves to show your respect, why are you still hesitating…”with that said, he forcefully brought the other party away.
“You little third son…”old he shook his head with a bitter smile. He then turned around and warned, “The most important thing in internal martial arts is to persevere and not to advance rashly. Wen Hao, take advantage of the fact that we are all here to properly supervise them.”
“I know Uncle He!”Wen Hao replied with a smile, “You can rest assured and bring the tea leaves over.”
“Oh, that’s right!”Liu Jianchao also turned his head and warned, “Your fifth uncle and the others are here today. If you are free, call that child Shiyu out to practice. With that body of his, we really can’t let him continue to be so decadent.”
When the surrounding juniors heard the name Liu Shiyu, their eyes immediately revealed a look of disgust and none of them were willing to answer, on the other hand, Liu Wenhao immediately laughed heartily and said, “Alright third uncle, don’t worry. That kid usually hides in his bashu nest. We can’t control him. This time, we finally caught him with great difficulty. We’ll definitely bring him to practice properly!”
“That’s good then… we’re all family. You’re more sensible than Shiyu and you’re his big brother. You have to help him more.”
“Okay, third uncle…”
Seeing that the other party answered straightforwardly and spoke in the tone of a big brother, Liu Jianchao was not very happy in his heart. The other party spoke in a decent manner, but in reality, Liu Jianchao really did not know what his nephew would do.
With his status among the third generation of juniors, if he had taken the initiative to treat Shiyu well back then, that child from the fifth family would not have been isolated like this. The elders were not blind, and Shiyu was ostracized by his surrounding cousins, how could they not see that?
It was just that most of them had acquiesced or even encouraged him.
There were many reasons. Some did not like the fifth’s disappointing personality but still enjoyed the resources of the Liu family, and some did not like the birth of Shiyu’s mother, including himself. At that time, he was also unhappy that the fifth had married a dancer into the Liu family, some were also dissatisfied that when his mother passed away, she had urged the old master to leave the family’s old house to the fifth.
But no matter what, how could he vent his anger on a child? After all, it was the blood of the Liu family, wasn’t it?
He sighed in his heart. In his frustration, he unknowingly came to his room. Old he suddenly said, “Tell me, what is it?”
Jian Chao swept away the frustration in his heart and made the snow tea for the other party. He smiled and asked, “Old he, you are a grandmaster of internal martial arts. I have something to ask you.”
“I don’t deserve to be called a grandmaster… Kid, if you have something to say, just say it.”Old He curled his lips.
“Hehe…”Jian Chao was also used to the other party’s tone, he chuckled and said, “Old he, let me ask you. If I put my hand on someone else’s shoulder, that person can directly bounce my hand away through the strength of the shoulder. Is He an internal martial arts expert?”
“Yes… He is an expert…”old he sipped the tea and nodded. “The tea is not bad. It is indeed the authentic Kunlun snow tea. You didn’t ignore me. How many taels are you going to give me this time?”
“Eh… How Can I give you two taels? Half a catty!”Liu Jianchao said generously.
“Cheh… isn’t half a catty only eight taels? I thought you could be generous…”old he said disdainfully.
“Half a catty… is five taels…”Liu Jian weakly reminded him. …
“By the way, didn’t you say that you met that person in real life? How Big was the arc of his shoulder when he bounced off your hand?”Elder he pretended not to hear the reminder at the end and directly jumped to the previous topic.
The corner of Liu Jianchao’s eyes twitched slightly. He sighed and could only admit defeat. He recalled the state of the child of the fifth family just now. After hesitating for a while, he said with some hesitation, “I think… He didn’t move…”
“Ahem… What?”Elder he almost choked on his tea when he heard that. “Are you sure?”
“I think so…”Liu Jianchao said with some uncertainty. After all, he had not noticed it at first, so he added, “Maybe… maybe I didn’t see it clearly…”
“Then there’s a high chance that you didn’t see it clearly…”elder he glared at him and said, “I don’t know if the old monsters from some sects can do what you said. Anyway, I know that Fang Yuanqing can’t do it.”
Liu Jianchao:”…”
