World Traveler

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

In the end, Yanan did not refuse the friendly match invitation initiated by Hu Yanju.

It’s not because of her father who is the head of the sect, or her mother who is the head of the sect.

But the moment their eyes met, Yanan was deeply attracted by her unyielding spirit, so he was ready to fight her with all his strength.

This is the quality a duelist should have!

Of course, saying "full strength" is just a joke. It's just talk. Otherwise, if she's not paying attention, she'll be killed in two seconds.

After all, what should you do if you label your child as emo?

When fighting that group of kids, Yanan simply used the Iron Arm Fist. Even if he made any changes, you could still tell that he used the Iron Arm Fist.

None of the Tang Sect’s things were revealed.

In addition, Yanan has a high talent for martial arts, and those martial arts he practiced have returned to their original state, so naturally he does not have the habits left by those martial arts.

"Junior Brother Ji, do you want me to teach you a few moves?"

Looking at Huyan Ju who was asking him tentatively, he shook his head and rejected her kindness.

"Senior Sister Huyan, please."

"Brother, be careful."

After saying that, Huyan Ju raised his hand and punched Yanan in the face.

Yanan was not in a hurry. Instead, he took the initiative and reached out to grab her wrist halfway, gently pulled it, and slightly turned to the other side, narrowly avoiding it.

The two of them soon exchanged dozens of moves.

Huyan Ju's punches were fast and his feet were light, and he was agile and versatile. The routes of his punches were both true and false, making it difficult to tell where the next punch would come from.

Although Huyan Ju seemed to have loose steps and unstable lower body, Yanan could clearly feel that half of her attention was on her lower body when she was boxing. Even the unstable lower body was a flaw that she deliberately revealed to Yanan.

Yanan did not choose to take the bait, nor did he choose to get close to her to disrupt her center of gravity. Instead, he steadily retreated to advance and defended to attack.

Soon, the two were fighting to a standstill. Of course, Xiahou Lan, who was standing on the side, clearly noticed the difference in strength between the two.

After all, Huyan Ju almost won every time, but he almost won so many times, it was no longer a coincidence, but a real disparity in strength.

As for Yanan, he would punch her twice whenever he had the chance. Although his strength was not very strong, under normal circumstances, Huyan Ju would have lost long ago.

The more he was beaten, the more uncomfortable and frustrated he felt. Huyan Ju really couldn't bear it anymore. He took two more punches and forced his way out of Yanan's attack range.

Of course, this was also Yanan's intention to let her go, otherwise she would not have been able to leave so easily.

"Accepted."

Hehehe, it’s so fun to bully kids.

Looking at his junior fellow student who was bowing respectfully to him, Huyan Ju blushed as he recalled his previous behavior.

"Yes, I lost."

But remembering that she was the direct female disciple of Xuan Gong Sect after all, in order not to bring disgrace to Xuan Gong Sect, she walked over on tiptoe and patted Yanan's shoulder in a pretentious manner.

"Junior Brother Ji is truly a martial arts prodigy. I remember you've only been practicing the Iron Arm Fist for about three months, yet you've actually reached this level."

"I lost this time, Senior Sister. From now on, if you want to eat meat, come to me. I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Senior Sister Huyan."

Actually, Senior Brother Lei also told me to eat meat every meal...

Because of the massage and acupuncture performed by Senior Brother Lei two days ago, Senior Brother Lei brought Yanan delicious food and drinks every day these days and did not treat Yanan badly at all.

However, Yanan did not say this.

After watching for a while, he didn't see anything from Yanan. He underestimated his emotions, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked curiously.

"Junior brother, how did you come up with the idea of training the Iron Arm Fist to this level?"

"It's obviously lost its fierceness, but it's still like this..."

As Huyan Ju spoke, his voice became softer and softer. He realized that this was, after all, a new martial art that Junior Brother Ji had researched himself. Asking this question was like asking his opponent why he could beat him, as if he couldn't stand losing.

When Huyan Ju was about to explain, Yanan spoke without hesitation.

"Sister, do you want to learn? I can teach you."

"Really!?"

Although Hu Yanju was a little bit unbelievable, he still had some expectations in his heart. After all, he had just experienced the interestingness of this boxing method.

"Of course, but Senior Sister Huyan, you have to know that learning too many martial arts is not necessarily a good thing. It is not good to have too many skills without mastering them."

After all, there are many people in Wudang Sect who know Tai Chi, but can the Tai Chi performed by passers-by be the same as that performed by Zhang Sanfeng?

In the end, Huyan Ju was persuaded by Yanan and gave up the idea of learning new martial arts.

To be honest, Hu Yanju's personality and appearance are very good, which is quite to Yanan's liking, so Yanan also kindly pointed out her shortcomings and loopholes.

The two chatted for quite a while. The more they talked, the more excited Hu Yanju became. He called his junior brother a rare martial arts genius.

"Junior Brother Ji, thank you. I'll come see you again in two days after I've digested all this."

After saying that, Huyan Ju, who had gained a lot, happily pulled Xiahou Lan who was standing beside her and prepared to leave.

He pulled but found that he couldn't move Xia Houlan. He turned around and saw that she was staring at Yanan, wondering what she was thinking.

"Lan'er? Lan'er?"

He raised his hand and waved it in front of Xiahou Lan's eyes, but there was still no response, as if he was in a trance.

After this, Huyan Ju suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained to Yanan who was standing next to her.

"This is the direct descendant female disciple of the Soul-Snatching Sect, named Xia Houlan. She was only accepted into our sect within the last month. Due to some issues, her mental state isn't very good. I was worried about this, so I asked her to stay with me."

After listening to Xia Houlan's introduction and looking at her expression, Yanan probably understood something and couldn't help but feel sad.

Why do people in ancient times seem to have so many people with mental illnesses?

That’s not right. Shouldn’t we have strong ability to withstand pressure when natural disasters and man-made tragedies happen so frequently?

"Then Xiahou Lan...Junior Sister?"

After hesitating for a moment, Yanan looked at Xiahou Lan, who was probably about the same age as him, but still felt embarrassed to call her senior sister.

After all, calling Hu Yanju "Senior Sister" was mainly for her father, the head of the sect, and her mother, the headmaster.

Neither of them cared about seniority, but perhaps because of Yanan's shout, she also reacted.

"Xia Houmei."

"Ok?"

Although her voice was not loud, Yanan was close enough to hear what she said. He looked at Huyan Ju with some confusion, asking her what was going on with his eyes.

Didn't you say her name was Xia Houlan? How did it become Xia Houmei?
