So he casually made up another story: "Actually, I just came back from overseas. I heard that Foshan is the hometown of martial arts, so I came to see for myself."
Ip Man nodded in understanding and said, "I see. I wonder if Mr. Li has a place to stay? If you don't mind, I do have a few spare rooms here."
Li Yao waved his hand and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Ye. I already have a place to stay. I've troubled you for a long time, so I'll take my leave now."
Although the Ye family mansion was very luxurious, he did not want to live there.
Now that he possesses martial arts skills, solving the problem of food and lodging is not a difficult task for him.
Ip Man didn't insist. Instead, he smiled gently and said, "I'll see you off!"
Then, the Ye family's butler appeared out of nowhere and opened the door for them.
Li Yao walked out the door, escorted by Ip Man.
"Who won? Who won..."
When the gate opened and Li Yao and Ip Man came out, the onlookers outside immediately surrounded them, asking questions out of curiosity.
Li Yao and Ip Man simply smiled and did not answer their questions.
However, at this moment, Li Yao's face was rosy, his steps were light, and he exuded a powerful aura.
Ip Man's face was slightly pale, his steps were somewhat heavy, and his aura was somewhat lacking.
The eyes of the masses are discerning!
They quickly noticed the differences between the two.
"Could it be that Ip Man lost?"
"How could that be? Ip Man is the most skilled fighter in all of Foshan. How could he lose?"
"Didn't you see? Ip Man's face is pale, while this young man's face is rosy. This young man must have defeated Ip Man."
"I never expected this young man to be such a good fighter; even Ip Man couldn't beat him!"
"..."
The onlookers chimed in with their own comments, and many even let out a sigh of sympathy.
Li Yao and Ip Man seemed not to hear what these people were saying, their expressions remaining calm and composed.
After leaving the Ye family mansion, Li Yao began to plan how to make some money and then settle down in Foshan.
Li Yao wandered the streets and alleys of Foshan, intending to rob the rich to help the poor.
Of course, he planned to rob others of their wealth to help his own poverty.
However, he searched for several hours but still couldn't find a suitable target to rob.
"Do I have to resort to robbery and plunder to help the poor?"
Just when Li Yao was wondering how to rob the rich to help the poor, he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from an alley.
Li Yao immediately ran towards the sound.
There were five men in the alley, punching and kicking a thin man.
One of the men, dressed in a Western-style suit, had a vicious smile on his face and said, "I'll teach you a lesson for being nosy and meddling in other people's business. I'll break both of your hands and see if you dare to meddle in other people's business again."
Despite being beaten bloodied and bruised, the thin man didn't utter a sound and said, "What kind of man are you, bullying the weak, the old, the weak, women and children?"
The man in the Western-style dress said sarcastically, "Heh, you're getting cocky now. Beat him, beat him hard, beat him to death."
Immediately, the other men's faces turned fierce, and their fists and feet rained down on the skinny man.
Seeing this, Li Yao's gaze sharpened, and he shouted, "Stop!"

Suddenly hearing the shout, the five men who were about to commit violence turned around in surprise.
A thin young man was standing at the entrance of the alley, and the five men immediately burst into laughter.
The man in the Western-style dress sized Li Yao up and down, then sneered, "Where did this brat come from? You wouldn't happen to be trying to meddle in other people's business, would you?"
Li Yao calmly looked at the man in the Western-style dress and said, "If I count to ten, you can release him and I can pretend nothing happened."
After saying that, Li Yao began to count, "One, two, three..."
The man in the Western-style dress paused for a moment, exchanged glances with his four accomplices, and then all five of them burst into laughter.
The man in the Western-style dress walked up to Li Yao, pointed at Li Yao's nose, and cursed, "Kid, you've got some nerve, daring to talk back to me..."
"ten!"
Li Yao softly uttered the last number.
The words had barely left his mouth when his fist was already out!
Bang!
Li Yao punched the man in the Western-style dress in the face.
The man in the Western-style dress felt a blur before his eyes, and a sudden, powerful force struck his face, causing him to fall uncontrollably to the ground.
At the same time, he heard a cracking sound, and an unprecedented pain immediately surged through his face, causing him to see stars.
The man in the Western-style dress wiped his face with his hand, and his hand was immediately covered in blood.
He screamed in terror, his voice like that of a pig being slaughtered.
He was filled with hatred, his eyes flashing with ferocity, and he shouted at the other four people, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly give him a good beating!"
Because Li Yao moved so fast, the other four people didn't even have time to react before the man in the Western-style dress was knocked to the ground.
The man in the Western-style dress shouted, startling the other four people out of their shock.
The four quickly surrounded Li Yao.
Suddenly, they swarmed forward and pounced on Li Yao.
Li Yao stepped forward and threw a punch, striking one of the men in the chest.
The man was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground not far away.
Li Yao kicked out with his right leg, which, like a whip, struck the other person between the legs at an angle.
The man let out a howl, his body arched like a lobster, he covered his genitals with both hands, and stumbled and fell onto the person in front of him.
Li Yao's kick was the "First Form: One Whip" from the Shaolin Twelve Forms of Tan Tui.
call!
Li Yao felt a powerful punch coming from behind him.
He shifted his body slightly, and the opponent's fist missed its mark.
He reached out and grabbed the other person's wrist, then delivered a powerful over-the-shoulder throw, slamming the person onto the person in front of him.
The last person left was so terrified that he ran away as fast as he could.
"It's too late to run now that you're thinking of doing it!"
Li Yao flashed away.
Like a ghost, it flashed in front of the last person.
He reached out and grabbed the man as if he were a chick.
He tossed the man into the air, and just as he was about to hit the ground, he kicked him hard.
"ah……"
With a scream, the man fell onto the person in front of him.
At that moment, the four people were stacked on top of each other like a human pyramid.
The man in the Western-style dress was terrified when he saw Li Yao's incredible bravery.
The man in the Western-style dress hurriedly crawled to Li Yao's feet, kowtowing repeatedly and saying, "Great hero, great hero, great hero, spare my life!"
Li Yao looked at the thin man beside him, whose face was full of shock, and said to him, "Why don't you leave now!"
The man then realized what had happened, expressed his gratitude a few times, and stumbled away.
Then, Li Yao turned his gaze to the man in the Western suit crawling at his feet and said with a smile, "I've already made my move, so you have to put up some stakes!"
The man in the Western-style dress paused for a moment, "The prize?"
Li Yao frowned. "Huh? No?"
The man in the Western-style dress trembled with fear and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes... there's a prize!"
As he spoke, ignoring the excruciating pain in his face, he got up from the ground, patted himself down, pulled out a stack of banknotes, and tremblingly handed them to Li Yao.
Li Yao squeezed the banknotes, then frowned again. "Is that all?"
The man in the Western-style dress trembled with fright and hurriedly said, "There's more, there's more!"
As he spoke, he ran over to the four people who were still stacked up, rummaged through their bodies, and pulled out a small stack of banknotes.
Then, he ran up to Li Yao and respectfully handed the banknotes to Li Yao.
Li Yao was still somewhat dissatisfied, "Are you trying to fob me off like this?"
The man in the Western-style dress was terrified and quickly searched his body, pulling out all his valuables.
There were pure gold snuff bottles, pure gold pocket watches, pure gold pens...
Li Yao picked up the pure gold fountain pen and sneered, "With your looks, you dare to use a fountain pen?"
The man in the Western-style dress nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice, saying, "Unworthy, unworthy..."
Li Yao nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "You're smart to know what's good for you. Now get lost!"
The man in the Western-style dress felt like he had been granted a pardon. He abandoned the other four people and ran away.
Li Yao saw several attribute orbs still floating in mid-air, and he picked them all up without letting them fall to the ground.
Even though it doesn't have many attributes, every little bit counts!
Li Yao put away his spoils and left satisfied.
