North Town Martial Arts School.
In the cold wind of the winter night, Tan Dong had been waiting at the entrance for more than an hour.
Tan Xiaoyu approached, “Dad, it’s so cold, and you’re still injured. You should go back inside and rest.”
Tan Dong shook his head, “They should be back soon, let’s wait a bit longer!”
Tan Xiaoyu was somewhat skeptical, “Dad, is this Xue An really as formidable as you claim?”
Tan Dong glanced at her, “You’ve just returned from abroad and don’t understand the domestic situation. But I can assure you that among the current domestic martial arts masters, there are few who can match Mr. Xue!”
Tan Xiaoyu secretly curled her lips in disdain.
“Dad, if you ask me, I’d rather go directly and beat up the guy who injured you. That would both avenge you and reclaim the honor of our North Town Martial
Arts School. No need to wait for this Xue An.’
Tan Dong’s expression darkened, “Xiaoyu, I spent a fortune to send you abroad, not to become arrogant. Though you’ve learned Taekwondo well from the master in H country, that doesn’t mean you can look down on everyone else!” “Yes,” Tan Xiaoyu lowered her head, but still felt indignant in her heart.
She was Tan Dong’s only daughter, and she had been studying Taekwondo with a national treasure-level Taekwondo master in H country.
Her accomplishments in Taekwondo were now profound.
Yesterday, upon learning that her father had been injured, she rushed back overnight, vowing to get revenge for her father.
But her father had adamantly refused, insisting on waiting for someone named Xue An.
This made Tan Xiaoyu very uncomfortable.
I’d like to see if you truly have three heads and six arms! If you’re just an ordinary fellow, I’ll make sure you’re embarrassed in public! Tan Xiaoyu thought to herself.
After another wait, a low-key Volvo slowly stopped in front of the North Town Martial Arts School.
The car door opened, and Qin Yu was the first to get out.
Her appearance surprised Tan Xiaoyu.
Isn’t she the heiress of Longtai Group? What’s she doing here?
Qin Yu didn’t leave, instead, she stood beside the car with great respect and opened the door.
Then Xue An finally got out of the car carrying two children.
Tan Dong was excited and quickly came down the steps, moving forward a few paces, and bowed respectfully.
“Mr. Xue! Miss Qin!”
Xue An nodded slightly.
Is this the Mr. Xue my father spoke of? Tan Xiaoyu scrutinized Xue An.
He was good-looking indeed, but rather on the slender side, wasn’t he? Aren’t martial artists usually burly and formidable men?
And this man is supposed to be an unparalleled master?
Moreover, he was even holding two children in his arms.
Was this supposed to be a joke?
The more Tan Xiaoyu looked, the more dismissive she became, inwardly grumbling that her father was too easily fooled by his old age.
This guy obviously looked like a swindler.
Someone like him, I could knock out ten with one punch!
So Tan Xiaoyu kept standing on the steps, unwilling to come down.
Tan Dong noticed this scene and couldn’t help but frown, “Xiaoyu, come down quickly and greet Mr. Xue and Miss Qin!”
Tan Xiaoyu reluctantly came down the steps and gave a perfunctory bow with her fist.
“Miss Qin!”
She didn’t pay any attention to Xue An!
Tan Dong was taken aback, fearing that Xue An would take offense.
However, Xue An didn’t seem to notice Tan Xiaoyu at all; his focus was entirely on his two sleeping daughters.
As for everything else, he couldn’t be bothered to care.
But to Tan Xiaoyu, Xue An’s reaction only confirmed her belief that this guy was definitely all show and no substance.
Otherwise, how could he not respond to such an overt provocation?
Her teacher once said that a martial artist without courage is like a tiger without teeth—utterly lacking in lethality.
Tan Xiaoyu’s expression became even more disdainful, “Dad, Miss Qin, I just got off the plane, so I’m going to tidy up my things first.”
With that, she turned and left.
Tan Dong’s expression was somewhat awkward as he was just about to explain to Xue An.
However, Xue An merely glanced at him indifferently, “How is your injury?
Tan Dong forced a smile, “It’s not too serious, he pulled back at the last moment, or else I wouldn’t be able to stand here!”
Xue An nodded and suddenly, with a pointed finger, accurately pressed on Tan Dong’s Danzhong acupoint.
Tan Dong felt a surge of electricity racing through him, causing his body to shiver, and his previously stifled breath suddenly cleared. “Thank you, Mr. Xue!” Tan Dong promptly expressed his gratitude. “Mr. Xue, shall we go back to the Qin Family now?” Qin Yu asked.
Xue An shook his head, “Let’s stay here.”
“Stay here?” Qin Yu was somewhat troubled.
“Hmm, because this place is closer to the Hong Family!” Xue An stated indifferently, then stepped into the martial arts hall.
Qin Yu didn’t quite understand his intention, but since Xue An had said so, she had no choice but to comply.
Naturally, Tan Dong was overjoyed and quickly ordered someone to prepare a clean room.
Xue An first settled his two daughters.
By this time, it was already the wee hours of the morning.
Xue An had no intention of sleeping.
Instead, he walked to the courtyard, looked up at the deep blue sky, and slowly closed his eyes.
His divine consciousness spread out.
In the world formed by divine consciousness, everything else ceased to exist, leaving only various flames radiating with the light of life.
These flames were of different sizes; the one closest to Xue An was Tan Dong’s, but at the moment, Tan Dong’s flame seemed somewhat wilted.
Besides that, Qin Yu’s flame was not small either, but there was another flame that was particularly conspicuous.
It was actually that of the woman from today.
The scope of the divine consciousness expanded more and more!
“Once you enter Xiaoyao, you become an Immortal,” although this phrase was somewhat exaggerated, it did imply that the Xiaoyao Realm was the threshold between mortals and Immortals.
But normally, even if someone entered the Xiaoyao Realm, they wouldn’t possess anything like divine consciousness.
This was something that at the very least belonged to someone in the Heavenly Human Realm or even a Loose Immortal.
But who was Xue An?
He was none other than the Immortal Venerable, supremely exalted throughout the entire cosmos; such a minor issue certainly wouldn’t trouble him!
Soon, within the range of Xue An’s divine consciousness, a towering flame appeared.
The ferocity of this flame’s burning was akin to that of a volcano.
A smile slowly formed on the corners of Xue An’s mouth.
Then he opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.
“Entering the path through martial arts, huh? That’s somewhat interesting. I hope you don’t disappoint me. Show me what you’ve got!”
At that moment, at the Hong Family, Yu Qing, who had been meditating cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes.
He had just felt a powerful and almost terrifying aura.
Although it was fleeting, the terrifying potency contained within that aura still made Yu Qing shudder.
Who could it be?
Could there be a hidden expert in Beijiang?
Yu Qing was full of doubts and astonishment.
Dawn broke.
Tan Xiaoyu walked out from her house, stretching luxuriantly as her muscles cracked and popped, and then she began her daily cultivation.
Today was the day she was going to settle accounts with the Hong Family.
She naturally had to prepare everything.
As for Xue An…
She hadn’t relied on him at all.
She even felt that it would be good enough if this so-called Mr. Xue didn’t hold them back when the time came..
