He actually wanted to ask Li Wang about his martial arts training, but he felt it was inappropriate to ask so directly.
I had no choice but to try to get the information indirectly.
"I don't have any special abilities, but I've been exceptionally gifted since childhood, and I also learned some hard qigong from a senior. I can easily take on ten or so strong men!" Li Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing Fang Chen's words.
He was about to deny it, but then he remembered that Fang Chen was the savior of his girlfriend, so he immediately told the truth.
He was being modest when he said "ten or so strong men." What if there were twenty or thirty strong men?
As long as I can eat my fill and get a good night's rest, that's not a problem.
"Wow, that's amazing! By the way, Li Wang, could you teach me your hard qigong?" Fang Chen exclaimed exaggeratedly, then stared intently into Li Wang's eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Brother Fang, you want to learn martial arts?" Li Wang asked in astonishment.
"Yes, I've been obsessed with martial arts since I was a child. Hearing that you, Li Wang, know martial arts is wonderful!" At this moment, Fang Chen's heart was pounding. He wondered whether Li Wang would agree or refuse.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Li Wang looked troubled and said, "Brother, you saved my Yingying, and I am very grateful to you. Really, it's not that I don't want to teach you this martial art, but... but I promised Master Shan Gui that I would never pass it on to anyone before I turned fifty!"
"You can't tell anyone before you're fifty?"
Fang Chen's heart sank. Li Wang was only in his twenties. Did that mean he would have to wait another thirty years?
By then, the daylilies will be too cold!
When I'm over fifty and the earth is up to my neck, what's the point of practicing hard qigong?
"Well... King Li, could you make an exception just this once?" Fang Chen asked, slightly disappointed.
Why did Riki's master, Shan Gui, set this ridiculous rule?
Whether it's a story told thirty years from now or a story told now, isn't it all the same?
"Brother Fang, I'm really sorry, really, I can't disobey my master's words," Li Wang said apologetically to Fang Chen.
If it were his own martial arts skills, that would be fine, but the key point is that his master had instructed him not to pass on his hard qigong skills to outsiders before the age of fifty.
Riki-Oh is a straightforward person, and he will definitely follow his master's orders.
"Brother Li Wang, since we're destined to meet, tell me the truth. What do you want in return for you to teach me Hard Qigong?" Fang Chen asked directly when he saw that Li Wang was unwilling.
"Brother Fang, Yingying and I will forever remember your kindness, and we will do our best to repay you!" Li Wang said with a troubled expression. "I really cannot pass on the Hard Qigong!"
"Brother Li Wang, since you're in a difficult position, then let's forget about it." Fang Chen thought for a moment and decided that haste makes waste. He decided to become friends with Li Wang first, and then talk about learning hard qigong when their relationship was better.
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Fang. Please come to my house for a visit later." Li Wang felt particularly embarrassed that he hadn't agreed to teach Fang Chen martial arts.
"Fine, I have nowhere to go anyway."
Fang Chen thought to himself, "I'll take my time and work slowly, I'm not afraid that you won't agree to teach me hard qigong in the end."
"Great! Great! Brother Fang, my house is just ahead. It's only three alleys away." Yingying jumped up happily when she heard that Fang Chen was going to her house.
Along the way, Li Wang introduced Fang Chen to his family situation.
Li Wang was staying at Yingying's house, which was a tenement building inside the port. The three of them left the hospital and turned into a few alleys to get there.
Just as the three reached the alley entrance, a plump woman approached Li Wang and said, "Li Wang, where have you been? Grandma Yingying fell down the stairs, and your Uncle Yang and the others took her to the hospital. You should go there right away!"

"What? My grandma..."
Upon hearing that her grandmother was injured, Yingying immediately burst into tears, grabbing the plump woman anxiously. "Aunt Hua, which hospital was my grandmother taken to?"
"The one up ahead!"
Aunt Hua pointed behind Fang Chen and the others, and it turned out to be the hospital that Fang Chen had just come from.
"Yingying, let's go to the hospital right away!" Seeing this, Li Wang grabbed Yingying and left.
"this......"
After thinking for a moment, Fang Chen followed Li Wang to the hospital. He wouldn't leave until he obtained the hard qigong.
"I guess Yingying's grandma was taken in when we were eating," Fang Chen thought to himself. Otherwise, they would definitely have run into her when they came out of the hospital.
......
"Are you the family members of that grandmother from earlier?"
The balding doctor on duty was taken aback when he saw Fang Chen and the others. Why were they here again?
"Yes, we are the patient's family members."
Li Wang and Yingying nodded quickly. "Doctor, how is my grandma?"
“You young people are so careless! The old lady is so old, you should keep a closer eye on her. How could you let her climb the stairs alone!” The balding doctor glanced at Li Wang and continued. “The old lady is old, has a fractured collarbone, and a severe concussion. She needs craniotomy. Go and prepare the money.”
"ah?"
Upon hearing that brain surgery was required, Yingying's face immediately changed color, and she involuntarily gripped Li Wang's arm tightly.
"Li Wang, this is my grandmother, and I are all I have left. Please think of something!" Yingying cried.
