At that moment, the doors suddenly opened with a “squeak” automatically despite having no wind blowing on them. A middle aged man holding a paper fan and wearing a black traditional Chinese jacket entered the room swiftly. Without moving his hands, the two doors once again closed shut.
“Uh…” The two bodyguards look dumbfounded, as if they had seen a ghost.
My eyebrows furrowed as I felt the airflow quicken, indeed, this person was really a master, a Lian Qi Master!
“Uncle Huang!” Wan Er stood up politely
The person that came gave a big laugh, “Oh, how seven years have come and gone! Wan Er has already grown from that little girl into such a beautiful woman! Old friend Lin, ah! What kind of good karma have you accumulated in your previous life to be blessed with such a beautiful daughter!”
Lin Tian Nan stood up laughing, “Oh stop poking fun at me, come here, sit!”
Huang Ning looked at me again and a glint of caution flirted across his eyes: “This brat…”
I stood up and nodded: “Hello, I’m the bodyguard of Lin Wan Er, my name is Li Xiao Yao!”
“Good, good, good!” Huang Ning said three goods before wincing his eyes to look at me; “Your Qi is hidden yet your Qi Paths are strong and powerful. Your strength isn’t bad…”
The edge of my mouth curved upwards, he’s here to test me? I smiled: “It’s nothing, I just exercise a lot.”
“Mm, come sit…”
……
The restaurant started bringing up the dishes and Lin Tian Nan stood up with a bottle of good wine to personally fill our cups, saying: “It’s rare for old friends to meet, come, let’s drink!”
I didn’t move.
“Li Xiao Yan, why aren’t you drinking?” Lin Tian Nan stared at me.
I shook my head, “The wine is at 57 degrees and will affect my decision making. For Lin Wan Er’s safety, I cannot drink it!”
“It’s alright, today’s a safe day!”
“Uhh… Alright then…”
Without an excuse, I finished the cup of wine in front of me.
……
After I drank, Huang Ning stared at me: “Li Xiao Yao, your Qi power is very peaceful, unlike others. Could I ask you who’s your teacher?”
I paused while Lin Wan Er besides me nodded, as if urging me to expose my secrets…
I furrowed my brows and replied: “Wu Dang Hou San.”
TL: Wu Tang is a huge martial arts temple in China, rivaling Shaolin
“Oh?’
Huang Ning smiled: “So its Wu Dang. To be training in this new world is quite rare but Wu Dang is split into a Qi faction and Sword faction, which one are you in?”
I paused again: “Qi faction…”
“Then you know Ling Cheng?”
“No, I DON’T know him!”
“Ohh….”
……
Ling Cheng, that old geezer. I don’t freaking know him at all!
I curled my fists and a scene floated into my mind –
“Brat, how much do you still remember from what I just taught you?”
“I remember a majority of it, teacher!”
“Good, how much do you remember now?”
“I forgot a majority of it!”
“Pretty good, how about now, how much do you remember?”
“I forgot all of it teacher!”
“Great! Great! I taught you the wrong thing so I’ll reteach it right now!”
“F***!”
TL: Forgetting a technique was a scene in Jin Yong’s book and the purpose of the technique was so that the student would forget the technique but retain the meaning behind the technique…
