"Master, you've come to see us?" Young Master Xu smiled brightly, but Xiao Qing only glanced at him and said, "You can go out now."
"Huh? Get out?" Young Master Xu cried, "Master, look at me, I'm injured! My leg was almost broken!"
Xiao Qing looked at Xu Ershao indifferently, her voice devoid of any emotion: "If you don't leave, your other leg will soon be broken too. Do you want to try?"
"..." Xu Ershao swallowed hard, not daring to speak. He quickly got up, hopped out of the ward on one foot while holding onto the wall, and before leaving, he gave Chen Xiao a "good luck" look.
Xiao Qing's expression seemed calm, but there seemed to be something hidden in her eyes. Her gaze was bright, and she stood there staring intently at Chen Xiao for a full half minute.
Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine under her gaze… Could it be that this great expert Xiao was coming to settle accounts with him for cheating her before? But if anyone was going to settle accounts, they should go to Second Young Master Xu first! Why did they come straight to me?
Finally, Xiao Qing slowly walked to Chen Xiao's bedside, gently sat on the edge of the bed, looked Chen Xiao straight in the eye, and finally spoke.
"how are you feeling?"
The voice didn't seem so cold; it was actually quite friendly.
Chen Xiao forced a smile: "It's alright, I won't die."
Xiao Qing fell silent again, this time staring at Chen Xiao for a full two minutes...
Chen Xiao couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "Beautiful lady, just say what you want to say. The way you keep staring at me is giving me the creeps."
To Chen Xiao's surprise, as soon as he finished speaking, he clearly saw two rosy blushes rise on Xiao Qing's cheeks!
She...she actually blushed?! Xiao Qing, this calm and collected girl, actually blushed with shyness?
“I…” Xiao Qing’s voice was a little strange: “From childhood to adulthood, when it comes to fighting, I’m the only one who stands up for others, but no one has ever stood up for me.”
Her voice was very soft, as soft as a feather, and she seemed a little shy.
Chen Xiao smiled wryly upon hearing this: "With your kung fu skills being so strong, how could anyone else possibly stand up for you?"
"So... thank you for what happened this time." As she spoke, Xiao Qing's eyes seemed a little flustered. She quickly turned her head away and looked elsewhere, but muttered, "You... you're very strong, but your martial arts skills are terrible. Have you practiced any internal martial arts?"
“…No.” Chen Xiao shook his head.
Xiao Qing turned her head, her expression seemingly much calmer. She stared at Chen Xiao for a while, making sure that Chen Xiao's eyes were not lying to her, before slowly saying, "Your skills are not good enough. If... if you want to learn, I will teach you after you recover from your injuries."
Chen Xiao touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Well... you're our club president, so of course I need you to teach me kung fu..."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Qing shook her head: "I have already disbanded that martial arts club."
"...Huh?!" Chen Xiao was stunned. He had gone to so much trouble to drive away all the challengers, but now he was being asked to disband the group?
Xiao Qing snorted: "Do you think I enjoy organizing these messy organizations? My original plan was just to use opening a martial arts club as an excuse to find... the people who bullied Young Master Xu at school. He wouldn't say, so I'd find them myself. I thought that since they were skilled, they would inevitably step forward. Martial artists are often very ambitious... But I never expected that you and that Xu fellow would lie to me!"
Chen Xiao gave a wry smile: "It seems like I can't be blamed for this. Actually, I wanted to tell you that day, but you said you were going to break Xiao Xu's legs, so I didn't dare to say anything."
Xiao Qing seemed to smile, her tone somewhat strange, her eyes darting around: "Now you're not afraid I'll break his legs?"
"Well, he did his best to protect you today, so even if he didn't do anything special, he still put in the effort. I don't think you're the kind of person who would turn your back on someone."
Pfft!
Xiao Qing couldn't help but laugh. Her smile was like a flower in full bloom, and the beauty between her brows and eyes almost made Chen Xiao stare in amazement. Another reason was that the way Xiao Qing smiled was just like a phoenix standing in front of him!
While Chen Xiao was lost in thought, his gaze became somewhat presumptuous. Xiao Qing felt a surge of anger at his gaze and immediately stood up: "You...you should rest well."
After saying that, he turned around, took a bottle out of his pocket, and threw it over without looking back.
"This is a family heirloom wound medicine, for external application."
After saying this, he walked out of the ward as quickly as a gust of wind.
As Chen Xiao held the bottle, his mind wandered. Just then, he heard the door to the ward being kicked open with a bang, and a girl barged in from the outside.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Xiao realized that the person standing in front of him was none other than…
Lu Xiaoxiao! Lu Bancheng's daughter!
"Uh? You..." Chen Xiao was somewhat bewildered: "Excuse me..."
Lu Xiaoxiao walked straight up to Chen Xiao: "Hey! Your name is Chen Xiao, right? Teach me kung fu! Like those two punches you landed today that sent someone flying!!"
"…………"
Learn kung fu?
Chen Xiao was both amused and exasperated—no way?
"You want to learn kung fu from me?" Chen Xiao touched his nose. "I think I got beaten up pretty badly today."
"I don't care, those last two moves were amazing! That's exactly what I want to learn!" Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes shone brightly!
“This…” Chen Xiao hesitated, “Even if you want to learn kung fu, you should go to President Xiao Qing. Her kung fu is much better than mine.”
"Her?" Lu Xiaoxiao looked disdainful. "Forget about her! Watching her box, she moves like a butterfly. That kind of kung fu is too effeminate!"
sissy?
It seems... it seems like you yourself are a woman!
Seeing Chen Xiao's strange expression and lack of response, Lu Xiaoxiao became a little impatient and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey, I'll just pay you! My current private judo coach's salary is 200,000 per lesson, so I'll pay you according to that standard!"
"...This isn't about the money." Chen Xiao rubbed his nose. He was indeed very willing to have the opportunity to get close to Lu Xiaoxiao for this commission, so he could observe her up close. But...be her coach?
Chen Xiao was well aware of his own abilities. He knew absolutely nothing about martial arts; his strength came purely from his supernatural power, which was something he couldn't teach anyone. If he actually became a coach, he'd probably be dismissed as a fraud within two days.
