"Don't say the internet has no memory; you don't remember because you're careless. I've always remembered this. I even heard people analyze that Wang Baozi might have met with misfortune because he ruined the Sakura Kingdom's plans. I thought he had already met with misfortune."

"I never expected to see him reappear in the martial arts world."

"That's truly gratifying."

"Perhaps the rumor from a while ago was true."

Someone in the know is aware of that rumor.

It is said that Wang Baozi is under the protection of the Chinese government.

This rumor might be true, after all, Lin Beichen can also represent the Chinese government.

Several of Wang Baozi's die-hard fans immediately sent him private messages to inquire.

Wang Baozi did not hide anything, choosing to speak only what he could and avoiding talking about what was inappropriate.

"So that's how it is! Those who were fighting just now were disciples of Taoism."

"I knew they were Taoists; only Taoist disciples could possess such attainments."

Good heavens, are they all Taoists?
Actually, that's not the case; only Lin Beichen among these people is.

Wang Baozi knew more or less about them, but some things didn't need to be explained too clearly, and besides, some information was not convenient to disclose to the public.

Instead of wasting time explaining.

It would be better to simply say that they are all Taoists.

"Goodness, they're leaving. Let's go interview them."

Since I've received a thousand yuan, I have to do the job.

The reporters who had received their payment quickly caught up with Lin Beichen and the others.

Seeing this, onlookers followed suit, all wanting to know what happened next.

"These people are like persistent ghosts, I'm speechless."

The supporting character secretly grumbled to himself.

He never expected that going out would attract such a crowd.

He shared similar thoughts with Lin Beichen; neither of them liked being treated like a monkey show.

"Oh, maybe they like you. After all, you performed so well just now. Why don't you accept the interview? You are, after all, from a prestigious family."

Norasuke betrayed his comrades without hesitation.

The situation was on the verge of spiraling out of control.

Noryusuke's suggestion seemed to be the best solution.

If we don't give these people an explanation, they'll probably keep harassing us.

"I think that works too," Zhang San agreed.

Lin Beichen also nodded slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Seeing his two close friends' attitudes, the supporting character almost had a mental breakdown.

"You are my dearest family, friends, brothers, and kin! How could you push me out at this time?"

Is this really appropriate? Is this really okay?

The supporting character was on the verge of tears.

However, they were outnumbered.

He had no choice but to compromise.

"The minority submits to the majority; you're still better at social interactions."

A casual compliment made the supporting actor feel a little better.

In any case, he considers himself quite good at it.

This is also a chance to gain exposure, and if handled properly, it could lead to fame. Of course, supporting actors don't care about fame; does he look like someone who's short of money?

Clearly, the supporting actors are not short of money.

"Please be patient, everyone. Take your time with your questions. Line up properly, there's plenty of time, I guarantee you'll be able to ask as many as you like." The supporting character glanced helplessly at Lin Beichen and his group, who left without looking back, and watched the crowd still wanting to chase after them. This was simply too much.

I stayed behind myself.

Why are these people still chasing after Lin Beichen and his group?

Am I not worthy enough? You really look down on people.

"Ahem, may I ask if you are disciples of the Taoist sect?"

After a moment's thought, the middle-aged man decided to interview the young man in his early twenties. He was one of the two men he had just sparred with, so interviewing him wouldn't be a bad idea.

He took someone's money.

To avert disaster for others.

There's no need to cause trouble for yourself.

It doesn't matter who you interview.

It's only a thousand dollars, why work so hard?

"Ah, yes, yes, yes."

The supporting actor nodded perfunctorily in response.

"May I ask which Taoist temple you all come from?"

The middle-aged man continued to press for answers.

His companion also asked in a cooperative manner:

"Where did you come from? We just witnessed your skills."

It's nothing more than a series of flattery and praise.

Unfortunately, such flattery had no effect on the supporting characters.

The supporting characters were completely immune to their boasting and remained quite calm.

"Are you from Longhu Mountain? Or Maoshan Taoist Temple? Or something else?"

Various speculations have emerged.

The supporting characters wouldn't understand any of this; they would only mechanically answer, "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

At first, everyone thought the supporting character was answering seriously.

But they soon realized something was wrong; the supporting character's response was far too perfunctory.

"Good heavens! Are Taoist priests all this arrogant now?"

"I thought Taoist priests were all reclusive masters, not so superficial. I thought they would answer my questions properly, but I didn't expect them to be so perfunctory; they clearly look down on us."

The middle-aged man's companion remarked with such emotion.

He believes in Buddhism but not Taoism.

The middle-aged man did not respond to his companion's complaints. He simply chatted casually with the wealthy customer in the live stream for a few minutes before preparing to continue climbing Mount Tai.

This thousand yuan is just extra income.

He believes in Taoism but not Buddhism.

Buddhism is too hypocritical.

If Buddha truly exists.

When China faced a crisis of destiny, why did no Buddhist monks step forward? In times of chaos, monks are rarely seen standing up. Taoists in times of chaos, monks in times of prosperity.

This proverb gives us a glimpse into the situation.

"This is so perfunctory! It's a complete waste of several thousand yuan. How could they do this?"

"It's a complete deception of the audience."

Where are the spectators?
The other party had no idea there were bystanders.

It's purely these netizens overthinking things.

How did the Taoist priests' martial arts practice on Mount Tai become a monkey show for people to watch?
They are far too self-important.

It has to be said that this generation of netizens has an excessively high opinion of themselves.

At the same time, the two foreign friends who had been secretly following Lin Beichen earlier arrived in front of him. They knelt down without hesitation. Although they were unsure who was the leader, they keenly sensed that Lin Beichen's position was unusual—it was a position that only a core figure could occupy.

"Disciple Justin humbly begs Master to accept me as his disciple."

As Justin spoke, he bowed and paid his respects.

Her companions followed closely behind.

"Disciple Brady humbly begs Master to accept me as your disciple."

Brady was not to be outdone.

He also longed to learn Chinese Kung Fu.

Although he pretended not to care, he was absolutely unwilling to miss such an opportunity.

More importantly, he doesn't want to be surpassed by Justin.

If his good brother learns Chinese kung fu while he himself gains nothing, the thought of being left far behind makes him inexplicably irritable.

"Justin, Brady, those are both good names."

"That sounds familiar."

The supporting character looked at the two foreigners with a strange gaze.

Noticing the supporting characters' questioning gazes, Justin and Brady immediately explained:

"These are our Chinese names, chosen from classical Chinese texts, so it's normal that they feel familiar. These are also the names of figures we each admire."

"That's right, that's right, I like Justin the most."

"I like Brady the most."

The two seemed somewhat naive and inexperienced.

This naming method opened the eyes of the supporting characters.

After careful recollection, the supporting character finally understood why the two names sounded so familiar—they came from a classic game he had played in his childhood, hence the sense of déjà vu.

"Taking on a master is no child's play. My elder brother Lin Beichen won't accept disciples lightly."

"Besides, you're both too old for this."

A supporting character tries to dissuade the two. Two foreigners actually want to learn Chinese kung fu?

He didn't even consider where he came from. How could he be so hasty in accepting a disciple? The supporting character was 100% certain that Brother Lin Beichen would never agree.

However, before he could finish speaking...

Lin Beichen then interrupted:

"You want to learn Chinese Kung Fu? Could you tell me why?"

A thoughtful look flashed across Lin Beichen's eyes.

He is considering using Chinese Kung Fu for cultural export.

This will enhance China's international influence.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

More importantly, Lin Beichen gleaned clues from the faces of these two foreigners.

If I'm not mistaken.

Both Justin and Brady are people with great opportunities.

Taking them as apprentices will definitely not be a loss for you.

Through mental calculation, Lin Beichen also realized that they did indeed have a master-disciple relationship.

Since it is fate, there is no harm in taking them as disciples, especially since their sincerity is commendable.

"I can accept you as disciples, but the requirements under my tutelage will be strict. Chinese culture values ​​respect for teachers and elders; if you cannot accept this, please leave."

Lin Beichen's words left the supporting actor speechless.

What's going on? The slap in the face came too fast.

Brother Lin Beichen, would you have deliberately taken on a disciple just to embarrass me?

Thinking about this, he felt extremely depressed.

He immediately said to Lin Beichen:

"Brother Lin Beichen, there's no need for that. You really don't need to take on a disciple just to embarrass me."

"Taking on apprentices is no child's play."

"Besides, they are foreigners, they are Westerners."

The supporting characters seemed to have a strong prejudice against foreigners.

Seeing how emotional the supporting character was.

Justin and Brady quickly expressed their opinions:
“Although we are foreigners, we love Chinese culture. We have lived in China for over ten years and will soon receive our Chinese ID cards, at which point we will also be Chinese citizens.” Justin’s words left the supporting character speechless.

Can this still be done?

Is it appropriate for someone with a Western face to say such things?

However, upon further reflection, it becomes clear that some ethnic minorities in China do indeed possess Western characteristics.

"Compared to some people who amass wealth in China but renounce their Chinese citizenship."

Aren't we better?

Brady's brilliant finishing touch silenced the supporting characters once again. This statement is indeed true.

It's truly speechless.

The supporting character didn't know how to respond.

He couldn't refute what the two foreigners said.

He did have prejudices against foreigners, but it now appears that not all foreigners are prejudiced. In contrast, some Chinese who fawn over foreigners are the real disgrace—they have abandoned their ancestral traditions yet continue to amass wealth in China. Even more pathetic is that they have numerous supporters, which is what the supporting character despises most.

The supporting character had this idea.

Perhaps it stems from the education received from a young age.

He came from a distinguished family and was deeply influenced by patriotism from a young age.

"Alright, supporting actor, no need for further words." Zhang San smiled and patted the supporting actor on the shoulder, signaling him to calm down. He could tell that these two foreigners were indeed sincere.

Seeing how hostile the supporting characters were to outsiders.

To be honest, Norasuke was deeply moved for a moment.

The supporting character is actually able to accept himself as a Japanese citizen.

Even foreigners find it hard to accept, let alone someone from the land of cherry blossoms.

But the supporting characters did accept him and regarded him as a companion.

"It seems I have a place in his heart; he acknowledges me."

Noryusuke pondered to himself.

"I misbehaved, please don't mind."

The supporting character gave the two foreigners an apologetic smile.

"It's alright, it's alright, we understand, we completely understand."

Justin and Brady didn't care.

The more magnanimous they appeared, the more guilty the supporting characters felt.

He felt ashamed of his previous remarks, admitting that he had indeed been prejudiced against people.

His preconceived prejudices made him unreasonable.

He despises this kind of person the most.

I never imagined I would become this kind of person.

Without realizing it, I've become the kind of person I hate the most.

"Yes, we understand this sentiment among the Chinese."

"We deeply love Chinese culture. Our desire to learn martial arts stems primarily from our admiration for the chivalrous spirit of the Chinese martial arts world. We understand the importance of respecting teachers and elders; we all know the principles of Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, and Teacher. 'A teacher for a day is a father for life,'" Justin said earnestly.

His answer satisfied Lin Beichen.

I didn't expect Justin to offer such insights.

His mastery of the Chinese language has reached a state of perfection.

He understands Chinese culture even better than many Chinese people, which is truly remarkable.

“Me too.” Brady said in standard Mandarin.

Compared to Justin's eloquence.

Brady was slightly inferior.

But this is the norm.

Not everyone can be as eloquent as Justin.

If every foreigner behaves like this, how can the native Chinese people bear it?

In the end, it will probably be difficult to tell who is a foreigner and who is one of our own.

Lin Beichen was quite satisfied with the unexpected gain of two apprentices.

He taught them everything without reservation, and of course, he also tailored his teaching to their individual needs.

Not everyone is suited to develop in all aspects like him.

Learning Taoist arts is extremely difficult, requiring mastery of astronomy, geography, and various arithmetic skills. Practicing Taoist arts demands exceptional talent and a foundation laid from a young age.

Of course, what these two young foreigners wanted to learn was not Taoist arts.

What they admire is Chinese martial arts.

Lin Beichen was naturally proficient in martial arts.

His skills are no less than those of the supporting characters, Zhang San and No Ryosuke.

While he may not be as skilled in assassination as Norasuke, his overall strength is definitely superior.

In a direct confrontation, he is also stronger than the supporting characters and Zhang San.

Zhang San had already noticed this.

Although he did not officially fight Lin Beichen.

However, he had privately exchanged ideas with the supporting actors.

The two sides were evenly matched, with each side winning about half the battle.

Once, Zhang San asked a supporting actor how much difference there was between him and Lin Beichen. The supporting actor replied that he didn't know.

Zhang San pressed for an explanation.

The supporting character's answer remained the same.

In short, Lin Beichen is unfathomable.

What does it mean to be invincible?
One-tenth of the invincible is also invincible.

Faced with Lin Beichen, the supporting characters felt powerless to resist.

A direct confrontation is no match, and trying to make up for it in other ways is even more difficult.

I can't even win in a one-on-one situation.

If Lin Beichen were to make arrangements in advance.

They probably don't even understand how they lost.

The secret arts of Feng Shui and various divination techniques are truly awe-inspiring.

……

at the same time.

Wang Baozi's popularity has surged again.

"I've said everything I needed to say. You can check the situation in Japan on foreign websites."

"Given the current situation, even Japan itself is struggling to survive."

"As far as I know, this matter has nothing to do with China."

"What? Something happened in South Korea too? Oh, that has even less to do with China."

Is there any connection between the sudden situation in South Korea and China?
Based on Wang Baozi's speculation, there is indeed some connection. (End of Chapter)
