Martial Arts

Liu Li, who had run out of the classroom, was extremely infuriated.

Why didn't she realize that this Wan Chao was so vicious before?

Although she had to return 15 yuan to Wan Chao every day, she would always quietly throw it away. This was already enough to make her want to vomit.

If Wan Chao had to shout like this every day when she pay back the money, she really wouldn't have the face to stay in school anymore.

It took a lot of effort for everyone to forget everything that had happened before. Today, when Wan Chao shouted, she would have to endure another day of criticism.

Wan Chao did it on purpose!

Deliberately, and then force her to pay it back in one go.

No wonder she agreed so easily yesterday. She was waiting for this, she didn't expect for Wan Chao to be so scheming.

"I absolutely can't continue to endure this insult" Liu Li bit her lips, thinking on how to withdraw a thousand yuan from the heavens and the earth.

The people of Earthly Paradise treated her very well. She felt that she had a seventy percent chance of success if she were to ask for pay in advance.

The bell for class soon rang. Liu Li thought about the strange looks from her classmates just now and was reluctant to return to the classroom.

But if she didn't return to the classroom, where should she go?

Liu Li recalled last night that Sister Lulu said that there would be a great cleanup today, so she asked her to go. She would get paid three yuan per hour.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Li covered her stomach and held her breath. She forced her face to turn red, then walked towards Teacher Zhu's office with difficulty.

Ten minutes later, Liu Li left the school. She had a relaxed expression on as she headed towards Earthly Paradise.

Whether Liu Li came to class or not, Wan Chao didn't care. She was waiting for Liu Li to pay off the remaining money.

Although they were in their second year of high school, the school still gave them one PE class a week.

During the afternoon gym class, An Lian seemed to be in high spirits. After leading them through twenty minutes of exercise, he finally let them go.

"Come to my house tomorrow morning to learn self-defense. It's best to wear a tracksuit. If you don't have a tracksuit, you can wear a school uniform to make it easier for you to exercise."

Tomorrow is Sunday, so you don't have to go to class

Wan Chao nodded and said, "Thank you, Teacher An. I'll be there by 6.30 am." Then she walked to the side and took out her notebook to study.

After hearing what Wan Chao said, An Lian's eyes widened as he staggered.

Six thirty is too early!

He doesn't usually get up until seven o'clock. It seemed that he would have to get up at six o'clock tomorrow, no, at five-thirty. He had to get ready in advance.

He looked at Wan Chao, who was alone in the corner of the field. He wanted to ask her to spend more time with the other students, but after thinking about her temper, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

On a rare Sunday, she had a lot to do. She and Bai Zhexi had to visit the first batch of restaurants to see how the pickles were being sold, to collect the unsold sauces, and to provide new sauces for the restaurants that continued to work in collaboration.

In the evening, Wan Chao and Bai Zhexi swiftly prepared the pickles they would bring out tomorrow. Bai Zhexi had not set up a shoe repair stall for a week, so she was extremely busy every day.

"Mom, I need to go to Teacher An's house tomorrow morning. I've already talked to Teacher An about it, and every Sunday, I'll learn martial arts for two hours with him."

Bai Zhexi stopped what she was doing and asked with concern, "Is there anyone who is still bullying you?"

Otherwise, why would she suddenly learn some kind of self-defense technique!

"Mom, no one is bullying me anymore. I just want to learn some martial arts, exercise my health, and protect myself.

"Though no one bullies me now, I can't guarantee that no one will bully me in the future."

Bai Zhexi relaxed and said gently, "You found the right teacher for this." When An Lian was young, he had study for more than ten years of martial arts. When he was in school, his skills were very good. No one dared to bully him. "

Wan Chao listened without saying a word, her hands occupied with her work.

When the pickled vegetables were packed, Bai Zhexi suddenly said, "Tomorrow is your first day to learn self-defense. Do you want to bring some presents?"

Having come to acknowledge a master was a form of etiquette. One should prepare gifts to acknowledge someone as their teacher.

Although she and An Lian did not openly say that they would take master-student relationship, all martial arts masters paid much attention to the art of taking a student.

Furthermore, since Bai Zhexi had no intentions towards An Lian, then she could not take advantage of An Lian as a matter of course, and could not save on the gifts that she should be giving.

They woke up early the next morning, ate breakfast, and went out at six.

Bai Zhexi wanted to go to the market to buy vegetables, while Wan Chao went to the An Lian house.

Bai Zhexi prepared a small gift for Wan Chao. It contained the various dishes she had made, two cans of canned food that hadn't even been opened yet, and a red packet containing two hundred yuan worth.

An Lian's house was close by. It was only twenty minutes away from the glassworks factory. It was a small courtyard that was exclusive to only An Lian. He seemed to have a son, an upperclassman university student.

When she arrived, the door of the house was wide open. He was warming up and practicing his martial arts.

When he saw the things that Wan Chao was carrying, he said at once, "Why did you bring something? Just bring it back home later"

"Teacher An, this is a dish made by my mother. Have a taste, and there are two bottles of canned food, they're not worth any money. It's just that my mother and I have a little favor to show for it."

When An Lian heard that it was cooked by Bai Zhexi, he immediately changed his mind and received it with a smile.

"Your mom's soy sauce is exactly the same as your grandma's. It's very delicious, and I won't be polite about it"

These words caused Wan Chao to mutter in her heart, this was showing off to her. Was his relationship with her grandmother also very good?

Wan Chao's mouth twitched, but she didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she asked, "Can we start now?"

With a "Oh," he placed the food that Wan Chao had brought with her on a stone table in the courtyard and began to train with her.

He let her warm up, stretch her legs, and pull the tendons apart. Then, according to her wishes, he taught her very practical kung fu skills.

Every move was detailedly dissected. The smart Wan Chao quickly grasped the key points, causing An Lian to nod his head, praising Wan Chao's amazing comprehension ability.

"These are just moves. If you want to skillfully use them in actual combat and defeat the enemy, you must practice them frequently.

Furthermore, your strength is currently not enough. Even if you were to fight your opponent, it would not be harmful at all, so you must first practice your basic techniques. "

Wan Chao felt that what An Lian said made a lot of sense, so she let him teach her a few more exercises.
