114: Section 114
"Kid, if you don't want to get beaten up, stay away from me. Once I, the Old Beggar, get angry, it'll be too late for you to run!"
The Old Beggar sat cross-legged on the bench.
As he spoke, he looked straight ahead, as if he were talking to himself.
In reality, these words were all directed at Lei Hu.
Lei Hu was immediately displeased.
"Hey, you Old Beggar, you want to beat me up? Come on, come on, let me see how much you're worth..."
Lei Hu was furious.
This grudge had been weighing on his heart for several years.
Whenever he thought about how he had been swindled by an Old Beggar back then, he felt uncomfortable.
It was like a thorn stuck in his heart and the greatest humiliation of his life.
Now that he had finally found the Old Beggar again, he was determined to vent that pent-up anger.
As he spoke, he swung his fist and smashed it towards the Old Beggar's face.
In truth, he didn't really want to hit him.
He just wanted to scare the Old Beggar a little for his loose tongue earlier.
However...
Just as Lei Hu's fist was about to touch the Old Beggar.
The Old Beggar sitting there suddenly turned his head and shot Lei Hu an angry glare.
Immediately, an invisible force slammed into Lei Hu and sent him flying.
"Damn..."
Lei Hu was over 1.8 meters tall and very robust.
At first glance, he looked like a young calf.
Who would have thought that the Old Beggar would send him flying without even touching him?
Thud...
With a dull thud, Lei Hu fell heavily to the ground.
This fall made him feel like all his bones were about to fall apart.
With a face full of pain, he glanced at the Old Beggar.
Lei Hu's greatest strength was that he knew when to yield.
Once he realized the disparity between him and his opponent was too great, he would immediately change his attitude.
The Old Beggar was still sitting cross-legged on the bench.
A faint smile hung on his face as he looked at Lei Hu with clear eyes.
It was as if what just happened had nothing to do with him.
Lei Hu couldn't help but shiver, gaining a whole new perspective on the Old Beggar.
This Old Beggar is not simple...
After a while, Lin Yi selected a Martial Skill from the many Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques.
This Martial Skill was called [Brahma Golden Spear Technique].
"Chosen one?"
When Lin Yi handed the other books back to the Old Beggar.
He asked with a chuckle.
Lin Yi nodded: "Chosen it, I'll take this one!"
"Brahma Golden Spear Technique?" The Old Beggar glanced at the title and then nodded with a smile.
"Every Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill here is only sold to those destined for it!"
"People look for books, and books look for people. Only when the two are compatible can they recognize each other!"
"Since you have an affinity with this Golden Spear Technique, I will gift it to you..."
"What the hell? Gift it? No, Old Beggar, aren't you being unreasonable?"
"Back then, when you sold me that Galaxy book, you charged me several hundred bucks!"
"How come when it's my Lei Hu, you just gift it? Aren't you bullying people too much? Do you just pick honest people to scam?"
When Lei Hu heard it was a free gift.
He glared and walked back over.
As a result, the moment the Old Beggar's gaze flicked and landed on Lei Hu.
Thinking of the loss he had just suffered, Lei Hu instinctively took a step back.
His waist still hurt a little right now...
"I said just now, people look for books, and books look for people; only when they are compatible can they recognize each other."
"He has an affinity with this Spearmanship, but you... had no affinity with that Qi Transformation Technique. If I remember correctly, I recommended another book to you back then, but you insisted on the Qi Transformation Technique, saying the name sounded impressive enough?"
"Therefore, charging you 880 bucks was already doing you a favor!"
After the Old Beggar finished speaking.
Lei Hu's face flushed with extreme embarrassment.
Only at this moment did Lin Yi understand the truth of the matter.
It was nothing like what Lei Hu said about being scammed. It was clearly that he had chosen that [Galaxy Qi Transformation Technique] book himself and insisted on buying it.
The result was that he couldn't Cultivate it, so for Lei Hu, didn't it just become a useless, trashy book?
Lei Hu was so embarrassed he wished he could crawl into a crack in the ground.
Lin Yi quickly said: "Old man, my friend has a somewhat reckless personality, please don't take it to heart!"
"Is this book really free?"
Once the words were out, the Old Beggar nodded with a chuckle.
"I only gift to those with an affinity, not taking a single cent!"
Hearing this, Lin Yi expressed his gratitude again.
Then he took Lei Hu and took his leave.
Watching their departing figures, the Old Beggar smiled.
Then he stood up from the chair and left in another direction.
Chapter 99: Are you free tonight? Let's have an in-depth discussion about Spearmanship
"Lei Hu, I really have to thank you this time!"
"Thank for what? Lei Hu, isn't this what I should do?"
In a noodle shop.
Lin Yi treated Lei Hu to a bowl of hand-pulled noodles.
Originally, he intended to take Lei Hu to a restaurant and order a few dishes.
However, Lei Hu only said that a bowl of hand-pulled noodles was enough.
At first, Lin Yi thought Lei Hu was reluctant to spend money, which was why he insisted on eating hand-pulled noodles.
But after they arrived here, Lin Yi understood everything.
Lei Hu was here for the proprietress...
The proprietress was in her thirties and still quite charming.
Although she was wearing work clothes and had an apron tied around her waist.
And even her makeup was very light, it was still hard to resist her natural beauty.
As soon as they walked in, Lei Hu's eyes were hooked by the proprietress.
Whenever the proprietress passed by them, Lei Hu wouldn't even take his eyes off her...
"Lei Hu, do you come to this noodle shop often?"
Lin Yi noticed some signs; the proprietress was not unfamiliar with Lei Hu.
Lei Hu was stunned, his cheeks turning bright red in an instant.
"It's not that I come often, just once in a while!" Lei Hu said in a low voice.
Lin Yi nodded: "Lei Hu, I'll keep this favor in mind. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. If I can help, I definitely will!"
"Why don't you eat first? I'll head back to the Martial Arts Hall now!"
Lin Yi had come out after eating lunch.
At this moment, the monster meat in his stomach hadn't been fully digested yet.
Watching Lei Hu devouring his food here, Lin Yi felt his stomach churning and boiling.
Sitting in a restaurant after being full was definitely a form of torture.
Lei Hu quickly said: "What favor? Lei Hu, since I've acknowledged you as my Lei Hu, isn't this little thing what I should do?"
"It's just... are you sure the book bought from that Old Beggar is useful?"
"Anyway, I think he's just an old con artist with a cunning look on his face. The book I spent 880 on last time was completely useless..."
Lei Hu was still remembering the book he bought from the Old Beggar back then.
Even to this day, he hadn't gotten over that hurdle in his heart.
