65: Cautious Bai Sanren

"Senior, do the two of you not reside in the city?"

At the entrance of Fu Lin Restaurant, Han Yi looked at Bai Sanren and Qian Xue preparing to walk towards the city gate and asked strangely.

"Idiot! What's so fun in the city? We naturally live outside the city in Yan Yue..."

"Mmm, mmm, mmm..."

Before Qian Xue could finish speaking, Bai Sanren's large hand covered her mouth.

"Han Yi, tomorrow morning, gather at the west city gate, don't be late!"

"You bad old man..."

After speaking, Bai Sanren dragged Qian Xue towards outside the city. Qian Xue's complaints could still be faintly heard.

"This old man Bai..." Han Yi smiled and shook his head. He really was an old fox.

Immediately, he also turned around, preparing to return to his room.

"Yi-ge'er..."

A faint voice sounded. If it weren't for his greatly increased hearing after Refining Blood, Han Yi probably wouldn't have been able to hear it.

He looked in the direction of the sound.

At the street corner, A Qiu was seen peeking out from the alleyway beside the restaurant, looking sneaky.

After seeing Han Yi turn back, A Qiu happily ran over.

"Yi-ge'er, it really is you!

"I heard there was a murder in Qiuzhu Alley, so I went to join in the fun. I didn't expect it to be Yi-ge'er's courtyard. I thought..."

Seeing the anxious look on A Qiu's face, Han Yi laughed heartily.

"Don't worry, your Big Brother has a tough life!"

"A Qiu, how did you find your way here?" Han Yi was a bit puzzled.

"That's simple, isn't it? I saw that all the luggage in the room was packed up. And I heard the murder happened at night. Then Yi-ge'er would definitely find a place to stay nearby. And this street is where Yuqing Ward has the most restaurants and inns, and it's close to Qiuzhu Alley. So I was sure to run into you by hanging around here!"

This kid is really cunning and clever... Han Yi looked at A Qiu's smug expression and couldn't help but laugh.

"You stand here first and don't move."

Han Yi originally wanted to take out a few copper coins from his person, but found that the loose change on him had been spent at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion buying miscellaneous items, leaving only a few silver notes.

He turned and went upstairs, preparing to take some silver from his room for A Qiu. He appreciated A Qiu's gesture.

"Go away, go away, you little beggar, don't stand at the door and get in the way!"

Before Han Yi came down from the second floor, he heard a commotion at the entrance of Fu Lin Restaurant. It seemed A Qiu was arguing with someone.

"I, I'm waiting for someone!"

For some reason, A Qiu got into an argument with the waiter from Fu Lin Restaurant.

"He's right, I told him to wait here!" Han Yi walked over, looking displeased.

After seeing Han Yi come over, the waiter's expression of rolling his eyes at A Qiu instantly disappeared. He scurried away to the lobby to clean the tables and chairs.

"Is this the might of a Martial Artist? I want to learn martial arts too..."

A Qiu looked at the waiter's pathetic appearance and the heavy iron sword on Han Yi's back, muttering to himself.

"A Qiu, do you want to learn martial arts?"

Han Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he saw through A Qiu's inner thoughts.

A grain of rice is kindness, a peck of rice is enmity.

If A Qiu thought he was easy to talk to and had any excessive ideas...

"Thank you, Brother Han, for the reward money!"

A Qiu bowed respectfully, although he really wanted to say the words "I want to apprentice and learn martial arts".

But having struggled among thieves and beggars for many years, he understood very well that martial arts resources were very precious and could not be obtained with just one or two favors. And the stories of ordinary street kids apprenticing themselves to Masters and receiving profound martial arts could only be imagined in storytellers' tales...

Master, Master, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life'!

The Master-Disciple relationship in this era was not like the relationship in Han Yi's previous life where you could learn skills by paying!

The title of Master and Disciple here is the most primitive and unbreakable kind. A Disciple is equivalent to the biological son of their teaching Master. Similarly, the Lord, for his Disciple, possesses the same power and obligations as their parents!

Therefore, Han Yi wondered if A Qiu would take the opportunity to speak up. But clearly, this kid A Qiu is very clever. It seems he really is a promising talent...

"Wait!"

Just as A Qiu was preparing to leave, Han Yi suddenly spoke up and stopped him.

"You stand here first and don't move!"

Under A Qiu's confused gaze, very quickly, Han Yi returned to his room, and then he came back to A Qiu, took out a small booklet from his pocket and handed it to him.

"This is..."

A Qiu scratched his head repeatedly looking at the words in the booklet.

Han Yi slapped his forehead. He miscalculated. He forgot this kid couldn't read a single word!

"A Qiu, this is the 'Mountain Crushing Fist'. If you Cultivate it to mastery, shattering rocks and cracking the ground will be easy!" He paused, then slowly said, "Never mind, I'll give you some more money. Go to a private school first and learn a few words before you talk about this!"

Bang, bang!

A Qiu couldn't even speak. He immediately kowtowed twice loudly to Han Yi. His eyes were filled with tears, and with a whoosh, tears flowed down, wetting the threshold of Fu Lin Restaurant.

"Get up quickly!"

In broad daylight like this, if some busybody spread the word, they might say that I, Han, even bully children.

Han Yi quickly pulled A Qiu into the alley next to Fu Lin Restaurant.

He pondered for a moment, his tone gentle: "A Qiu, since we are fated, before you learn the 'Mountain Crushing Fist', I will teach you another move for self-preservation..."

If A Qiu went to a private school to study and didn't hang out with his thieving and sneaky companions, he would inevitably encounter some trouble.

A Qiu quickly wiped the tears from his face and stared intently at Han Yi's movements.

Han Yi didn't waste words. He extended his right hand, clenched it into a fist, and extended it to the position between his hip and thigh.

Whoosh!

Then, he fiercely hooked out a punch, and the air brought up a gust of wind.

"This move is called 'Stealing Peaches Style'. It is most suitable for those who are short and not very strong!

"Remember, the right fist hooks upwards and diagonally downwards in an arc. When exerting force, push off the ground with your right foot, turn your body to the left, twist your waist and hips, and concentrate all your body's strength into one punch..."

Han Yi explained a few sentences in detail. These were some basic force exertion techniques, but for ordinary people, they were incredibly effective secret techniques!

And this 'Stealing Peaches Style' is also a technique specifically targeting the lower body, and it even has the 'reputation' of 'one grab to the crotch and the soul is lost'...

After practicing it to mastery, whether male or female, if they get hit by this 'steal', they are guaranteed to lose their combat ability on the spot!

Of course, this can only deal with ordinary people. It definitely won't work against experts!

But as long as A Qiu practices this move well, it should ensure that he can learn to read without being disturbed!

"Alright, let's go."

"Next time you have any important news, you can come to Fu Lin Restaurant and tell me in time. If I'm not here..." Han Yi thought for a while, "Just leave a mark for me at the door, and I'll go find you at the ruined temple outside the city."

"Okay!"

A Qiu agreed.
