Chapter 24 The Poor Man's Kung Fu
"Yu Ting, don't be silly. Do you know what it means to reach the Transformation Realm at sixteen?"
At the entrance of the Wu Family Martial Arts School, a beautiful young woman in red was persuading Hu Yuting from a luxurious carriage, "In Nan'an City, someone like this only appears once every ten years. A true martial arts genius. If you have the opportunity, you can join a major sect."
"If your cousin had such talent, how could he have been kicked out of the Luo family? The old man in the Luo family isn't senile yet, is he?"
Hu Yuting hesitated upon hearing her words.
Ever since she learned that her cousin was at the Wu Family Martial Arts School in the north of the city, she had been keeping an eye on news about the Wu Family Martial Arts School.
I heard something yesterday: the Wu family martial arts school produced a young prodigy who mastered the Transformation Realm at the age of sixteen and severely injured a martial artist of the same level with a single move. This person is named Chen Qiyuan, the same name as my cousin.
So today, she made up an excuse and invited her friend Xu Yan'er to go out and visit her cousin in the north of the city.
Unexpectedly, Xu Yan'er said something like this after hearing it.
Hu Yuting quickly recovered, "Even if it's not true, it doesn't matter. I'm happy to catch up with my cousin."
"You!" Xu Yan'er rolled her eyes at her and scolded, "Have you forgotten that you have a fiancé? Yet you come here to meet with some random man. If that young master of the Cheng family finds out, you'll be in big trouble."
Hu Yuting said unhappily, "That's my cousin, how can he be some random man?"
Xu Yan'er said, "If he were still the eldest young master of the Luo family, of course we would keep in touch. But now he's been kicked out of the Luo family and has nothing left. People would avoid such a poor relative like the plague, yet you're still clinging to him. Even if he saved you before, just give him some money. Why bother seeing him again?"
Hu Yuting felt uncomfortable after hearing this. Xu Yan'er was her best friend, and she didn't want to argue with her. She simply said, "Since we're already here, let's meet."
Just then, an angry shout came from outside, "Hu Yuting, you're actually here!"
Hu Yuting's expression changed slightly upon hearing this voice.
It was the voice of her fiancé, Cheng Junhe.
Xu Yanran's expression changed, and she whispered, "Oh no, your fiancé has come to catch you cheating."
Hu Yuting quickly calmed down and said, "I haven't done anything wrong, what's there to be afraid of?"
After speaking, she lifted the carriage curtain and, sure enough, saw a carriage parked in front of her—the Cheng family's carriage. Cheng Junhe, who had just been engaged to her two months ago, sat in the carriage, his face gloomy, his eyes seemingly burning with anger.
There was another maid in the carriage, and she recognized her at a glance as her third sister's maid.
Hu Yuting immediately understood what was going on, and her face turned pale.
The third sister had always been jealous of her marriage to the young master of the Cheng family, and harbored resentment in private. She never expected her third sister to resort to such despicable means to frame her.
She knew all too well the conflicts within large families. But that was her own sister; even if they weren't born of the same mother, they were still family.
How could she do that?
Hu Yuting could no longer remain calm; her voice trembled slightly, "Young Master Cheng... what brings you here?"
Cheng Junhe stared intently at her, his voice cold as he said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you'd done such a thing. I want to see what kind of man you can't forget."
Hu Yuting hurriedly explained, "No...it's not what you think...I came to find...my cousin..."
Cheng Junhe sneered, "The cousin you mentioned, is he the son of that lowly live-in son-in-law? I heard you've always been hung up on him."
……
[The nameless one harbored resentment, and your "Iron Armor Skill" seized the opportunity to steal one hundred points of proficiency.]
Chen Qiyuan had just come out of the martial arts school when he saw a notification. He glanced at it, trying to find out which kind person had sent it, and immediately noticed the gloomy-faced young man in the carriage.
He's a good person.
Then, he noticed Hu Yuting, who looked pale and somewhat lost. It turned out to be his cousin who had come looking for him.
But what's going on here?
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit strange.
He asked with concern, "Yuting, what's wrong?"
Last time, she sent him three gold beans through someone. It wasn't much money, but the sentiment was profound. That's why he accepted this cousin as his confidante.
Before Hu Yuting could speak, the young man in the carriage shot her a gaze like a sharp arrow. "You're the son of that son-in-law who was kicked out of his family?"
Chen Qiyuan was somewhat confused. He had never met this person before, so where did this great hostility come from?
He looked at Hu Yuting and asked, "Who is he?"
"He is Yu Ting's fiancé, the second young master of the Cheng family." The answer came from the girl in red next to Hu Yu Ting, whom she had met once before.
fiancé?
It turned out there was a misunderstanding.
However, this guy actually possesses the "Iron Armor Divine Skill," could he be a disciple of the Iron Armor Sect?
Chen Qiyuan was thinking to himself, about to explain.
But Young Master Cheng didn't give him that chance, and said coldly, "Old Fang, break one of his legs."
"Yes."
A middle-aged man of unremarkable appearance stepped out from behind the carriage and walked step by step toward Chen Qiyuan.
Upon hearing Cheng Junhe's words, Hu Yuting became anxious and was about to plead for him when Xu Yan'er stopped her, saying, "Let's go quickly, don't make Young Master Cheng angry anymore."
The Cheng family is far more powerful than the Hu family; for the two families to form a marriage alliance, the Hu family is climbing the social ladder.
She herself was barely able to protect herself, yet she still wanted to plead for her cousin.
……
As Chen Qiyuan looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, a big question mark popped into his head: Is this guy a lunatic?
He hadn't bothered with the guy's rudeness earlier because of Hu Yuting. Now he actually wanted to break his legs.
He laughed and didn't bother to say anything more.
Old Fang was the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't talk much. He made his move without saying a word. He was quite strong and showed his skill as soon as he made his move. He used a kind of grappling technique and his moves were both ruthless and accurate.
If he catches you firmly, you'll surely suffer broken bones and tendons.
This seemingly sure-fire grab turned out to be empty air.
not good--
Old Fang knew something was wrong. Before he could even react, a sharp pain shot through his legs, and with a crack, both leg bones broke. He collapsed to the ground, sweat pouring down his forehead from the pain. His voice trembled as he said, "This...servant is incompetent..."
This sudden turn of events surprised everyone present.
"Transformation of internal energy?"
Xu Yan'er had a keen eye and immediately recognized Chen Qiyuan's strength, which had reached the Transformation Realm. She was shocked: it really was him.
A sixteen-year-old martial arts master!
The Luo family actually kicked such a martial arts prodigy out of the house; Old Master Luo must be senile.
"Um?"
Cheng Junhe's gaze sharpened as he stared at Chen Qiyuan, and he sneered, "Transformation Realm? How laughable! It's nothing more than the skills of a poor wretch. Today, I'll show you what true martial arts are."
He suddenly stood up, took a step, and landed on the ground. With each step, his strength increased, and he felt as if there was a rushing river within his body.
This familiar aura sent a chill down Chen Qiyuan's spine.
It's the Marrow Refining Realm!
