With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 42 Paying Respects to the Master's Wife
On the one hand, he was moved by the principal's sincerity, not only by what the principal said to him today, but also by all the things the principal had done for him before.

He mistakenly believed that he was being stubborn and kept trying to persuade him, and the principal even drove him to and from the martial arts association and gave him bonuses out of his own pocket. All of these things made him feel that the principal was really good to him.

On the other hand, whether it is a professional high school martial arts school or a preparatory class of Wuhan University, they are all closed teaching programs, and students are not allowed to leave the school.

He can only go home on weekends and holidays, which will affect his ability to go to Master Luo's place to practice boxing.

"Meng Chuan, I knew I hadn't misjudged you, kid. Come, have some tea, drink this cup to the brim!"

After Meng Chuan clinked glasses with Principal Zong, the two exchanged a smile.

Having explained everything, Meng Chuan got up to say goodbye and leave.

February 6th, Lunar New Year's Eve.

Meng Chuan, wearing the red sweater his aunt had just bought for him, finished practicing the last round of Cannon Fist and then stopped to meditate.

The weather was cold, and when he regulated his breathing, all the sweat on his body turned into white mist and evaporated in mid-air.

[Cannon Fist: Mastery (77%) → (78%) Awaiting Limit Break]

He watched as the proficiency level on the panel increased, and although it was small, it was steadily rising, which made him feel very at ease.

As I get closer to perfection, the improvement speed of Cannon Fist is also slowing down. It took a long time to increase the proficiency by only one percent.

Meng Chuan took out his phone and checked the time: 8:30 in the morning.

"Master should be up by now, let's give him a call and say hello."

"Beep beep beep."

The call was connected.

"Happy New Year, Master."

Happy New Year! Did you do your boxing this morning?

Luo Guanyun remained the same as always, as strict as ever.

Meng Chuan was familiar with his master's character and had long expected him to ask him this question.

"I've been playing for over two hours now, and I feel like I'm very close to achieving perfection."

Luo Guanyun was very happy to hear that Meng Chuan had made such rapid progress:
"Haha, good. After you reach perfection, your master will teach you a new boxing style."

Afterwards, Luo Guanyun told Meng Chuan about some things to keep in mind regarding the breakthrough of the Cannon Fist to the Nine-Shot Technique.

Finally, he added:
"Come to Master's place for lunch today. Your master's wife has cooked a table full of delicious dishes."

Meng Chuan was extremely surprised:

"Teacher's wife?"

He always thought his master was an old bachelor who had focused on martial arts and that's how he achieved his current level of martial arts prowess.

I never expected that Master Luo would have a wife. I've been to Huayun Mansion so many times, and I've never seen a woman in the house before.

But he didn't ask any more questions; he'd find out when he got there.

"Right, you didn't think that Master was still single at his age, did you?"

Meng Chuan gave an awkward smile:
"No, no, I'll set off in a bit."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Chuan went downstairs to take a shower.

He was covered in sweat from practicing his boxing, and since it was his first time meeting his teacher's wife, he wanted to look neat and tidy to leave a good impression.

……

Huayunfu Villa District.

Half an hour ago, Luo Guanyun's wife, Ren Ping, returned home.

Even on New Year's Eve, the graduating class of Beilian University did not have a holiday. Luo Meng was still at school teaching students during the day and could only go home at night.

Ren Ping pondered this over and over alone at Luo Meng's house, and finally decided to come back and see that old geezer, Luo Guanyun.

When she stood at the entrance, she was already mentally prepared to face Luo Guanyun's sour face.

"Don't get angry, don't bother with this old man."

To her surprise, as soon as she opened the door, she saw that Luo Guanyun not only didn't have a long face, but instead smiled and reached out to take the groceries from her hands.

"Your wife is back? What groceries did she buy?"

Ren Ping looked at the other person suspiciously, wondering what Luo Guanyun was up to.

"Old Luo, you seem to be in a good mood."

"What, while I was at my daughter's, you were keeping a mistress at home?" Luo Guanyun put the groceries in the kitchen, then sat down on the sofa and said casually.
"I've taken on an apprentice."

Ren Ping said she didn't believe it.

Luo Guanyun's standards were too high; he didn't care about things like superior aptitude or exceptional comprehension.

The requirements for accepting apprentices are that their aptitude cannot be too different from that of his daughter, Luo Meng.

Furthermore, since his purpose in taking on disciples was to pass on the true skills of thunder magic, Ren Ping did not believe that he could find a student who was both exceptionally talented and unafraid of thunder magic.

"I'll invite him over for dinner later, you'll see when you meet him."

Ren Ping then began to believe her somewhat, and then spoke sarcastically:

"Did you run off to some martial arts university and kidnap a genius?"

Luo Guanyun was furious:
"Where would I go to kidnap him? He was a student at the martial arts school who saved his life before he became an apprentice."

"Hmm, so it was an attempt to take advantage of someone's kindness."

After tidying himself up, Meng Chuan took the tram to Huayun Mansion.

After knocking, a middle-aged woman with short hair opened the door. He thought to himself that this must be his master's wife, whom he had never met before.

"Hello, Madam."

Ren Ping glanced at him and thought Meng Chuan was not bad.

Since his last marrow cleansing, Meng Chuan's skin has become increasingly fair and clear.

With his neat short hair and well-proportioned muscles honed from years of boxing, he looks very stylish in clothes.

At first glance, he appears to be a handsome young man who can charm people.

"Xiao Meng, right? Hello, please come in."

While Meng Chuan was still on his way, Luo Guanyun told her about Meng Chuan's basic information.

"Go sit on the sofa and chat with your master. Dinner will be ready soon."

Meng Chuan was very polite:

"Thank you for your hard work, Master's wife."

At the dinner table, Luo Guanyun was in a good mood and specially opened a bottle of expensive red wine.

"Wife, let's drink this. Chuan'er, you can't drink alcohol yet, so let's have juice."

Ren Ping took the red wine and poured it for Lao Luo and herself, then said:
"Old Luo, you're really something else. You didn't even tell me you were taking on a disciple, leaving me unprepared."

Meng Chuan wondered if his teacher's wife was working out of town and could only come home occasionally.

"Xiao Meng, we also have a daughter, who is your senior. She is currently a teacher at Beilian University. You can ask her for advice if you have any questions."

"Master Luo actually has a daughter?"

There was not a trace of Meng Chuan in the house.

"Okay, Master."

Just as Meng Chuan was about to speak, Luo Guanyun slammed the cup down on the table with a loud bang.

"Ren Ping, we're in a good mood today, so let's not say anything more."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about it anymore, let's have a toast."

Meng Chuan raised his glass, having some guesses about what was going on.

It seems Master Luo doesn't have a good relationship with his daughter; I've never heard my master mention it.

Ever since the teacher's wife mentioned her daughter, the atmosphere at the dinner table has been a bit off. Teacher Luo still smiled on the surface, but you could tell that he had something on his mind.

After the meal, Meng Chuan volunteered to wash the dishes.

Luo Guanyun and Ren Ping hadn't seen each other for a while, so they sat on the sofa and chatted.

Ren Ping placed her hand on Luo Guanyun's chest and gently rubbed it, and a bluish-green true energy flickered and appeared in her palm.

Ren Ping is a rare medical martial artist. The true-level martial art she has learned is called the "Azure Medicine Bag Scripture". The light green true energy it generates can not only treat external injuries, but also be used to examine the internal condition of a martial artist's body.

After a dozen or so breaths, the true energy in Ren Ping's palm dissipated, and she withdrew her hand with a somewhat complicated expression:
"The color of the lightning seed inside my body has deepened. It used to be dark blue, but now it's starting to turn black."
