Chapter 270 – The Little Girls Gathering To Watch
“Do you have any building blocks in your house? My dad bought me big building blocks, and then he had his bodyguard help me build a big castle.”
“What is a bodyguard?”
Just as Lan Xin and Xixi, the two little girls, were sitting side by side on the small piano stool chatting, they suddenly saw Xixi’s father and the group of uncles coming out one after another. The cold wind when they opened the door made them scream, shiver, and laugh while hugging each other.
Of course, the majority of the two little girls’ actions were playful and mischievous.
“What is Papa going to do?” Xixi jumped off the stool and ran to the window, looking out through the floor-to-ceiling glass.
“Xixi, let’s not go outside, okay?” Lan Xin also ran over, took Xixi’s hand, and said, “It’s so cold outside, I don’t want to freeze like ice cream.”
“Okay, but I want to see my Papa!”
But just as Xixi turned her head to look out the window again, Yang Yi and Shen Xinyu were already wrestling on the grass outside.
“Ah? Xixi, your father is fighting! Fighting is not good!” Lan Xin suddenly shouted, her loud voice attracting the attention of Guo Ziyi, who was also watching the excitement with Ding Xiang on the other side.
“Why is Papa fighting?” Xixi became sad. The little girl pouted and defended, “I don’t want Papa to fight. My Papa is a good person.”
Guo Ziyi walked over, patted Xixi’s little head, and intentionally imitated Xixi’s accent, saying, “Your Papa isn’t fighting, you don’t have to worry. He has a good relationship with that uncle. They are just playing around to see who’s stronger!”
“Well, then, my Papa must be stronger!” The little girl was cheering for her father, but she was so nervous inside, as evidenced by her tightly clenched little fist.
On the grass, Yang Yi was still probing, engaging in a fierce and evenly matched fight with Shen Xinyu. A few onlookers on the side were also waving their fist and cheering. Although it was unclear what they were shouting, from this side, the fight seemed extremely intense.
“I don’t think so. My dad’s bodyguard is also a soldier like that uncle.” Lan Xin shook her head and said, “He’s super strong and can fight up a lot of people.”
“What should I do then?” Xixi became worried.
“Maybe Xixi’s dad is probably stronger? And he used to be a soldier too.” Guo Ziyi remembered the scene where Yang Yi kicked a wild boar into the air and felt more confident in Yang Yi.
“Xixi’s dad was also a soldier?” Lan Xin’s eyes lit up, and she looked outside with some admiration. “Then I also think Xixi’s dad is stronger, because, because he can also cook delicious food.”
Although Uncle Guo and Xin’er were standing up for her father, Xixi still didn’t relax. The little girl’s big eyes were filled with worry and she kept watching her father wrestling and rolling on the grass with the other person.
Perhaps sensing his daughter’s expectation, Yang Yi stopped probing and showed some real skills.
Shen Xinyu’s martial arts skills were indeed a notch higher than Guo Dabao’s, and compared to five years ago, his martial arts skills had also improved a lot, but that was only the peak of ordinary people. Yang Yi shouted, his internal energy circulated, and his speed suddenly increased. Suddenly, he closed in and engaged in close combat with Shen Xinyu.
“Isn’t that my Bagua Fist?” Guo Dabao, who was standing nearby, widened his eyes. Although Yang Yi’s moves were not yet perfect, he managed to execute them in a decent manner!
This was naturally something Yang Yi himself had thought about after comparing notes with Guo Dabao. He never held prejudices and absorbed the strengths of various schools to compensate for his own shortcomings. This has always been something that Yang Yi likes to do.
However, Shen Xinyu’s Wing Chun Fist was also good at close-quarter combat. He shouted excitedly, “This is exhilarating!”, and then started exchanging blows fiercely with Yang Yi.
However, that “This is exhilarating” was shouted too early!
Yang Yi quickly made him understand what “pain” and “fast” really meant!
Several of Shen Xinyu’s punches landed in empty space as Yang Yi skillfully evaded them. Yang Yi’s attacks became increasingly fierce, and even though Shen Xinyu managed to block a few, his arms were numb with pain.
Bagua Fist was relentless once it gained the upper hand. After Yang Yi gained the advantage, Shen Xinyu had no chance to fight back. He wanted to struggle, but was forced to exhaust himself in defense.
Finally, Yang Yi’s fist broke through his defense and hit him. One punch, two punches…
The speed of the exchange between these two was incredibly fast. Their fists moved so quickly that only shadows remained. Xixi and Lan Xin watched through the glass window in a daze, but Xixi was a little scared, afraid that her father would get hurt.
“Alright, alright, I admit defeat.” It was too painful, and Shen Xinyu didn’t even know that Yang Yi had held back some strength. He jumped up with a grimace, left the battlefield, shook his numb arm from Yang Yi’s punches, and said, “Yang, what have you been through these years? How come your martial arts skills is getting better and better?”
Yang Yi also lowered his fists and smiled faintly. “It’s not about what I’ve been through. I was originally better than you. Using the classic problem-solving approach of elementary school mathematics to analyze, I, who am better than you, will only become better and better than you.”
Shen Xinyu and Luo Zongsheng were both stunned: Was this considered an explanation?
“You bstrd, not only did you beat me, but you also act all high and mighty?” Shen Xinyu angrily shouted as he jumped over and punched Yang Yi on the shoulder.
Yang Yi just defended himself with a smile, and several people couldn’t help but laugh, as if they had returned to the most beautiful time five years ago.
When they returned to the shop, Xixi couldn’t wait and ran over, first cautiously looking at those uncles, especially the shivering Uncle Shen who ran to put on clothes. Then she grabbed her father’s hand and looked up, and said, “Papa, did you win?”
“Of course!” Yang Yi smiled and picked up the little girl.
Xixi smiled with joy, happy for her father. Then, she brought her delicate and soft little hand close and held her father’s face, imitating her mother as she looked carefully at her father and asked with concern, “Um, Papa, do you get hurt? If it hurts, Xixi can blow on it for you.”
The thoughtful appearance of the little girl immediately softened the eyes of the several big men watching nearby.
“It’s okay, Xixi doesn’t have to worry. Papa is so strong, how could he get hurt?” Previously, when fighting with Guo Dabao, he was injured because he underestimated the skill of the military expert in this world a little bit.
“Hee hee, okay then!” The little girl asked her father to put her down and happily ran off to share the good news with her little friend.
After a while, Lan Xin’s loud voice came over again, “I told you your dad is very strong…”
Although Luo Zongsheng was married, he was busy with the affairs of the War Wolf and hadn’t had a child with his wife yet. At this moment, he looked at the adorable little girl with some envy and said to Yang Yi, “Ah, Yang Yi, looking at your daughter, I also want a daughter!”
“Then, Gramps Luo, you should find time to take a vacation and go back to visit your family! Every year, it’s sister-in-law who comes to see you, but you haven’t gone home. You only have a few days to spend together each year. How can you find time to focus on making babies?” Shen Xinyu said with a playful smile.
