Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Siblings Sparring

"Sister Xia, do you want to learn Ancient Martial Arts?"

Fang Bai suddenly turned his head to look at Xia Chenyu and asked.

"Ancient Martial Arts?"

Xia Chenyu was taken aback, clearly not quite understanding the term.

"Yes, it’s the same thing as what ordinary people call kung fu."

"Of course, I do! If I knew kung fu, I’d like to see which man would dare to harass me! What about you, are you offering to teach me?"

Over the years, Xia Chenyu had, because of her beauty company’s affairs, made connections and sought favors, being harassed by men numerous times. A few times, she had nearly been seriously taken advantage of, until recently when the Su Family provided her with two female bodyguards, which had improved the situation.

However, no matter how formidable the bodyguards were, they could never match the self-assurance she would gain from knowing kung fu herself, so at the mention of this from Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu felt a surge of enthusiasm.

Xia Chenyu knew that Fang Bai, despite appearing gentle and harmless on the surface, was actually very skilled in martial arts. If he really was willing to teach her, she would endure all hardships to learn from him.

"I can teach you. But first, I need to determine if you have the makings of a martial artist... Come on, give me your hand, I’ll feel your bones to see!"

As he said this, Fang Bai gestured for Xia Chenyu to hand over her right hand.

If it had been any other man, Xia Chenyu would definitely have suspected he was trying to take advantage of her. But for Fang Bai, she had no such concerns, knowing he was not that kind of man.

Fang Bai had saved Xia Chenyu’s life and offered her support; not only did she feel grateful to him, but she also harbored a crush on him. Deep down, she even hoped Fang Bai would take some liberties with her.

However, when Fang Bai was with her, their relationship was more like that of amicable friends, at most sharing harmless jokes, never crossing any lines.

Sometimes, Xia Chenyu even wondered if her charm was not strong enough to attract Fang Bai’s attention.

Little did she know that in his previous life, Fang Bai was surrounded by female immortals and had many confidantes. He had seen all kinds of outstanding women and had reached a realm of calm indifference, where he was not easily moved.

As for Xia Chenyu, Fang Bai did have feelings for her; in fact, he liked her quite a bit, but when it came to matters between men and women, he preferred things to evolve naturally. He believed that when two people’s fate was right, they would end up together and any forcefulness was rather pointless.

"I’ve heard that you have to start training in martial arts from a young age. I’m already so old, my physique is set in place; can I still hope to become skilled?"

Xia Chenyu extended her right hand confidently to Fang Bai, but asked somewhat nervously.

"Sister Xia, you’re only a few years older than me. If I can become skilled, you definitely can too!"

Su Linglong had been listening to the conversation between Fang Bai, Xia Chenyu, and Su Yifei the whole time. Finally finding an opportunity to interject, she smiled and said, "Not too long ago, I started learning Ancient Martial Arts from Fang Bai. Now, I’ve become a real Martial Artist."

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing his sister’s words, Su Yifei, who had just taken a sip of tea, nearly spit it out.

"I said I’m now a real Martial Artist... mhm, my realm is Yellow Level beginner stage."

Seeing the dumbfounded look on Su Yifei’s face, Su Linglong giggled and said, "Brother, I’m better than you now!"

When Su Yifei and Su Linglong were six, Su Hongyuan had the Yellow Level Martial Artist butler Su Fu teach them the cultivation of martial arts. However, Su Linglong had no interest in fighting and didn’t learn much, while Su Yifei, although fond of martial arts, was limited by his talents and had never crossed the threshold to become a Martial Artist. He remained a Quasi-Martial Artist until now.

What surprised Su Yifei was that his sister, who had always resisted martial arts, had been quietly learning Ancient Martial from Fang Bai. Now, she had even surpassed him, becoming a true, adept Martial Artist.

Su Yifei glanced at Fang Bai, and upon seeing a nod and smile from Fang Bai, he knew for sure that his sister was telling the truth. He was both shocked and delighted, and also deeply envious.

"Come on, sister, let’s spar a few moves to see if you’re just bragging!"

The restaurant was quite spacious. Su Yifei left the dining table and walked over to an open area, gesturing for Su Linglong to come over.

Su Linglong looked at Fang Bai, hesitating a bit.

When Fang Bai originally imparted the cultivation method to Su Linglong, he had cautioned her not to easily reveal her skills. Thus, faced with her brother’s challenge and eager as she was to take it, she didn’t dare to accept without Fang Bai’s approval.

"We’re all family here, there’s nothing to worry about! But you must control your strength, don’t injure your brother."

Fang Bai knew that without his say, Su Linglong wouldn’t make a move, so he said to her with a smile.

"Okay."

With Fang Bai’s consent, Su Linglong nodded excitedly and then walked up to Su Yifei.

"Your realm is higher than mine, I won’t hold back! Take this punch!"

Su Yifei didn’t wait for Su Linglong to get into position. He advanced with a sudden step and threw a punch.

Su Yifei’s master, Su Fu, was a Yellow Level early-stage Martial Artist, and Su Yifei, in addition to training under Su Fu, had sparred with him several times, only to be utterly defeated each time, which showed him just how wide the gap was between a Quasi-Martial Artist and a true Martial Artist.

Therefore, he did not underestimate his sister, a newly promoted Martial Artist; as soon as he struck, he gave it his all to avoid an embarrassing defeat later.

Whoosh—

As he launched his punch, Xia Chenyu, sitting in the distance, faintly heard the sound of wind. Watching Su Yifei’s fierce and swift punch about to land on Su Linglong’s delicate body, she couldn’t help but worry for Su Linglong.

The gap in strength between a Quasi-Martial Artist and a Martial Artist was like that between a three-year-old child and a ten-year-old youth; there was no comparison.

Although Su Yifei’s punch was swift and powerful, to Su Linglong, it seemed to slow down several times, and it was full of openings.

Just as Su Yifei’s fist was about to touch Su Linglong’s clothes, she twisted her slender waist and rotated her body, moving from in front of him to his back in an instant. Then she raised her right hand and lightly pushed on Su Yifei’s back.

Su Yifei felt a surge of great force, lost his balance, and his body lurched forward. If he hadn’t managed to stop his steps in time, he would have crashed into the wall.

"Brother, your punch is too slow!"

Su Linglong giggled playfully.

Su Yifei’s face reddened, he scratched his head, and then with a loud shout, he charged at Su Linglong with increased speed.

When he was about ten feet away from Su Linglong, he suddenly leaped into the air, unleashing a flurry of kicks.

These successive kicks were Su Yifei overperforming. Even with Xia Chenyu’s vision, all she could see was a blur of kicks.

Su Linglong chuckled softly, and this time, instead of dodging, she quickly pressed down with her right palm, directly onto the sole of Su Yifei’s right foot as it flew towards her.

Su Yifei felt as if his right foot had suddenly gained a few hundred pounds. In mid-air and having lost his balance, he plummeted towards the ground. If it hadn’t been for Su Linglong’s timely extension of her hand to support his arm, he would have fallen face-first.
