352: Chapter 349 Returning to My Homeland (Part 2)

A wealthy man who advocates Zen and likes to play with profound concepts bordering on the study of the mind... Hmm... Li Changsheng inexplicably thought of a certain tycoon who does not like money.

If it were him, Li Changsheng did not have a good impression; he could only be described as a profit-seeking businessman.

Just acting as a passerby, there was no need for deep interaction.

Of course, Li Changsheng felt that the other party had no reason to interact deeply with him either.

"This voyage will last nearly a month in total. We will pass by Hawaii and Hong Kong along the way, and finally, we will enter the coastal waters of Zhejiang Province."

"During this time, Mr. Li, I will be your private butler. If you have any needs, you can summon me via the button in the room or the intercom inside the room."

Upon hearing this, Li Changsheng looked at the lady's name tag, which had the characters 'Hu Yang' written in both Chinese and English.

"Ms. Hu, is it? Then I will trouble you for this period."

"It is my honor to serve you." Hu Yang smiled, and then began to introduce things again.

It must be said, it was worthy of being a luxury cruise ship. There was a dedicated Advanced restaurant where one could enjoy top-tier cuisine from all over the world, or choose a meal delivery service, which the waiter would thoughtfully deliver to the room.

Besides this, there were swimming pools, bars, cinemas, SPA centers, gyms, and various other entertainment facilities.

It could be described as a mobile luxury hotel.

By this time, the two had been walking for two or three minutes, but they still hadn't reached the guest room.

Just as Li Changsheng was once again marveling at the extravagance here, a man who had just come out from not far away suddenly made Li Changsheng freeze.

The person who came was none other than... Brother Jie!!!

"Li... Master Li?!!!"

Brother Jie, who was originally being pushed out by a caregiver, was also stunned. Once he realized what was happening, he exclaimed out loud.

"Master Li, why are you here? Oh, no, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a bit surprised to see you here. Are you also a friend of Boss Ma? That's right, Boss Ma has always liked Health-preserving Qigong and kung fu. If he knew about an expert like you, Master Li, he wouldn't let you go."

Brother Jie smiled while signaling the caregiver to push him a bit closer.

Arriving in front of Li Changsheng, Brother Jie hurriedly and enthusiastically reached out for a handshake, to which Li Changsheng naturally did not object.

He actually respected Brother Jie quite a bit, and he was also somewhat surprised to see him.

"Brother Jie, is the Boss Ma you just mentioned that person?"

"Sigh, of course it's that person. Master Li, you're sitting on this boat and you don't know who he is? That's impossible, right? He doesn't host just anyone on this cruise ship."

Hearing Brother Jie say this, Li Changsheng was finally convinced.

It was confirmed to be that Boss Ma who does not like money, but likes Health-preserving Qigong, kung fu, and making movies.

He was also a fanatical Wuxia novel enthusiast; one could see this from the naming of his company offices—things like Bright Peak, Peach Blossom Island, Bodhidharma Academy, Gathering Virtuous Manor, Knight-Errant Island, and so on. He was quite a unique character.

"Brother Jie, are you planning to return to Singapore?"

Li Changsheng knew that this person was currently a Singaporean citizen.

"No, I'm preparing to go to the capital. My doctor told me to go there and take a look; my illness is getting worse and worse. This trip abroad was originally to attend a good friend's Oscar awards, but as it turned out, I was lucky enough to meet an expert like Master Li."

Brother Jie was genuinely happy to see Li Changsheng; that kind of smile could not be faked.

But Li Changsheng also saw the loneliness in his eyes.

"Brother Jie, is your illness goiter?"

"Goiter?"

"Oh, that is your hyperthyroidism, I believe that should be the term in Western medicine."

"Yes, Master Li, you also understand Traditional Chinese Medicine?"

Upon hearing this, Brother Jie was somewhat surprised. Although he knew that medicine and martial arts were not separate, being able to identify a condition at a glance was not as simple as just dabbling in it part-time.

"I understand a little. I just looked at your liver depression and Qi stagnation, and your excessive stomach fire, so I guessed that it was most likely this problem. You've had this illness for quite a few years, haven't you?"

"There are also multiple symptoms such as severe bone and joint strain, trauma, and internal bleeding."

As he spoke, Li Changsheng shook his head inwardly. Brother Jie's body was like a balloon leaking air everywhere, filled with problems.

Coupled with his Advanced age, many ailments were magnified, and his body's recovery functions simply couldn't keep up, which was why the symptoms had started to manifest so early.

He was clearly only sixty, yet he had the feeling of an eighty or ninety-year-old who was terminally ill.

"Sigh, yes, yes, there's no helping it. When I was young and filming, I didn't pay attention; the fighting was real fighting. Sigh, I'm a stubborn person, too. Seeing the stunt double's movements not being standard or looking good, I had no choice but to do it myself."

"My bones have broken several times, and my spine has been injured too. I am satisfied to have ended up like this. I'll stick to conservative treatment; being able to see more of this world is nice, and being able to know and befriend Master Li is even better."

As he spoke, Brother Jie laughed instead. Li Changsheng could see that the other party seemed to want to exchange pointers with him, but unfortunately, his body did not allow it.

"How about this, Brother Jie, should I give you a Massage?"

"Ah? Master Li, there's no need for that. These are all old ailments of mine, and I have a professional medical team; there's no need to trouble you."

Brother Jie was not lying to Li Changsheng. Furthermore, he was befriending an expert like Li Changsheng with the attitude of a Junior; how could he let an expert give him a Massage?

"It's fine, it won't take much effort. Find a place, and I will give you a Massage."

"Uh... okay... alright then, then I will trouble you, Master Li."

It just so happened that the door to the room where Brother Jie was staying hadn't been closed yet, so they decided to just do it there.

Ms. Hu Yang, who was on the side, was a bit dazed. What was going on? The boss's guest seemed a bit strange.

It was mainly because she was accustomed to the boss's business friends and had never seen anyone who could casually perform a Massage.

"Master Li, don't tire yourself out; just do it casually. My doctor has said that my body cannot withstand long-term Massage."

Brother Jie was still a bit embarrassed, but Li Changsheng had already started to perform the Massage.

Huh!

As soon as he felt the force, Brother Jie was stunned.

He had originally thought that an expert in Chinese Martial Arts like Master Li, being a martial artist, must have immense strength.

Even if he was proficient in Massage, he would still need to test the strength, meaning he would ask if he could handle the force or how the strength felt.

As it turned out, once he started, Brother Jie felt that the force was very gentle.

"Master Li, what you said earlier is really true. This foundation is rare. This force feels very comfortable. I have tried many Massages, but yours is the best!"

Brother Jie was facing away from Li Changsheng, reaching out to give a thumbs up.

But he did not see that the caregiver and Ms. Hu Yang, who were watching from the side, were already stunned.

Because when Li Changsheng was performing the Massage, the way he applied force was like kneading a ball of dough, looking like beating a big drum; one would think this force wouldn't be weak.

But why did Brother Jie look so comfortable instead?

Especially the caregiver; she knew very well what Brother Jie's body was like and that it couldn't withstand much force at all.

To him, a slap from an ordinary person would be like a heavy punch.

Furthermore, how were Master Li's palms expanding and contracting? Like breathing?

It was just like how a pufferfish inflates and expands.
