Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 217 Meeting Again
The base of Baiwu Association was built thirty miles outside Fengyun City, and thirty miles away from the headquarters of Xijianliu. The three places formed a right triangle and could be seen from each other.

When Lu Ping and Xiao Yuer arrived at the Hundred Martial Arts Association, they unexpectedly discovered that this place was much more lively than they had imagined, and it did not seem like a place built in the wilderness.

After asking carefully, I found out that this was actually a small town with a population of over a thousand.

It’s just that Fengyun City has grown bigger in recent years, and the people who originally lived here have moved away one after another to make a living, so the town has become deserted. Now, the number of people who still live here, men, women, young and old, added together, is no more than half a hundred.

After the Baiwu Association established this place as its base, many common people and businessmen heard the news and came here in droves, either because they missed their hometown or because they saw business opportunities, so the scene has become as lively as it is now.

"When I first went to Fengyun City, I passed by here, but I was in a hurry at the time and didn't notice that this was actually a deserted town."

"In just a few days, this place looks a bit like Fengyun City's commercial street?"

"Of course, because all the vendors here came from there."

The two chatted with each other as they walked towards the headquarters of the Baiwu Association. Along the way, they saw many strange yet familiar faces. They were all demons Jiao, Jia, Yi, and Bing whom they had met once before on Tianyun Mountain, but whose names they did not know.

Suddenly, Lu Ping stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just saw someone I know."

Lu Ping pointed, Xiao Yuer turned around and saw Ye Kai standing five meters away buying food.

In fact, Xiao Yuer and Ye Kai didn't have much interaction. They just met briefly a few days ago when he came with Li Xunhuan, and then he went out to play with his girlfriend.

Lu Ping patted Xiao Yu'er on the shoulder and said, "Let's go over and say hello to him, and ask him to treat us to a meal."

"Eh? Is this okay? Hehehe..."

"…Be more restrained, and don't be so obvious when taking advantage of others!"

"understand."

The two men stepped forward, and Ye Kai turned around when he heard the voice.

The moment their eyes met, Ye Kai's heart suddenly jumped, and he vaguely realized that some disaster was about to befall him.

"Brother Ye, what a coincidence! Why are you here alone? Isn't your master here?"

"It turned out to be Brother Lu and Xiao Yu'er. My master was busy with a few seniors, so I came out to take a walk alone."

"What's the point of going shopping alone? Why not invite... No, it's not like we can go together."

It was a close call, I almost let it slip.

"sure."

In Ye Kaixin's heart, he was poisoned by someone in the capital city. Thanks to Lu Ping and others who went to the Shen Gu Peak and brought the Shen Gu Emperor Wen Huang's poisonous insects and the help of Miss Fengdie, he was able to recover. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were half responsible for saving his life.

Such a person is definitely not a bad person.

So the two became three and continued strolling on this newly built street.

Lu Ping was fine, but Xiao Yuer and Ye Kai were of similar age, both were young geniuses, and both had sunny, cheerful and enthusiastic personalities. After a few words, they inexplicably developed a sense of mutual admiration and a sense of mutual respect.

Lu Ping was so fooled that he thought they were good friends and brothers.

After a while, Ye Kai brought the two of them to a popular dessert shop, sat down, and began to introduce the business enthusiastically.

"This dessert shop is newly opened. It is said that the snacks are very novel, delicious and unprecedented, so many people come here recently."

Lu Ping nodded. There were indeed a lot of people here. There were eight tables inside and outside the room, and there were about forty or fifty people crammed into them.

"So, isn't this store moved here by merchants from Fengyun City?"

"seems not."

Xiao Yuer took the menu and waved it in front of Lu Ping. "Take a look. I've never seen anyone eat these things in Fengyun City before."

The first thing Lu Ping saw was the price.

"18 wen, 39 wen, 52 wen... a bit expensive."

Obviously in other places, a bowl of mung bean soup only costs 3 cents, and 10 cents is enough to fill you up...

"Don't worry, I'll treat you this time!" Ye Kai patted his chest and smiled heartily.

Fortunately, this time I came out, I had some extra pocket money from my master's wife, which was more than enough to treat my two good brothers to a meal.

Lu Ping did not expect the plan to develop so smoothly. Instead, he felt a little indebted to Ye Kai for his innocent appearance. But soon, when his eyes fell on the name of the corresponding dessert on the menu, that sense of indebtedness was replaced by confusion.

"Pearl milk tea, grass jelly, fruit salad, sundae, soy sauce noodles..."

Something is wrong!
Twelve out of ten things are wrong!

Am I visiting some 21st century ancient street or internet celebrity check-in spot? Why is the food here so modern?

"Where are the shop owners here from?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ping felt a hand on his shoulder.

Then a familiar voice came from behind: "Jianghu people."

Lu Ping turned his head suddenly and saw that the person behind him was Wang Lianhua! Wang Lianhua still had the demeanor of a nobleman, looking at Lu Ping and smiling faintly: "But I learned cooking in the South China Sea."

"Senior Wang?"

"Ahem...you can call me Senior Wang, Senior, or just Old Wang. 'Senior Wang' sounds like someone who doesn't know me would think I'm an old man."

Wang Lianhua smiled and sat down next to the three of them. She looked at Lu Ping and said, "We parted at Black Wind Village, but I didn't expect to meet here. It seems we are destined to meet."

"Brother Lu, who is this senior?" Ye Kai looked a little curious.

Why is this adult sitting at the same table with the child?

Lu Ping thought for a moment and said, "It's a long story. This is Senior Wang Lianhua. According to seniority, he should be considered...your master?"

Lin Shiyin learned the skills from "Lianhua Baojian" and passed them on to Ye Kai, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Lianhua is Ye Kai's master.

Lu Ping briefly explained the reason to them. Not only Ye Kai was shocked, but even Wang Lianhua was also very surprised.

"So it's the Grandmaster..."

"No need!"

Wang Lianhua waved her hand to stop Ye Kai from saluting.

"I left behind the Mirror of Love for Flowers because I admired the young man from the Li family and I didn't want my skills to be lost. I didn't expect that he would walk his own path later on. It's a good thing."

Wang Lianhua sighed, then looked at Ye Kai with a smile, a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

"Fortunately, the 'Treasure Mirror of Pity for Flowers' that I worked so hard to write was not in vain. Although the process of inheritance was a bit tortuous, I think you have good roots and are smart. If I hand it over to you, it will be considered a successor."

"It's because there's no wine here, otherwise such a good thing would be exposed!"

"There's no alcohol here, but you can have more milk tea later."

Lu Ping said quietly, while moving the menu in his hand towards him, "By the way, since this is the first time I meet my disciple, please pay for us."

With Wang Lianhua as an adult around, Lu Ping naturally couldn't cheat Ye Kai again.

"By the way, since you know that the chef in this shop learned his skills in the South China Sea, I guess this guy must have come back with you?"

"If I tell you my name, I should be able to get a discount, right?"

Wang Lianhua's smile froze on her face. She raised her hand and pointed towards the shop: "What do you think?"

Lu Ping turned his head and looked behind him, and found that a beautiful cook was walking out of the shop with dishes in her hands. Her face was filled with a bright, enthusiastic smile.

"It's Madam Shen?!"

Yes, this beautiful cook is none other than Zhu Qiqi!
"Could it be that this prosperous dessert shop in front of us is opened by Madam Shen? I didn't expect that she has such skills..."

I thought she was just a vase.

Hearing this, Wang Lianhua suddenly laughed: "You are wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"Zhu Qiqi doesn't have such good skills!"

Wang Lianhua suppressed her laughter, and holding a folding fan, she walked into the inner room covered by the curtain and said, "I can guarantee that Shen Lang prepared all these meals in the back. She was just responsible for serving the dishes!"

Lu Ping: “…”

Well, that was certainly unexpected.

Wang Lianhua could say this with such certainty because he must have had a deep understanding of the couple's cooking skills when he was in Nanhai. And judging from his tone, Zhu Qiqi might be a kitchen bomb.

Ye Kaixin spoke frankly: "So, Senior Shen Lang is not only intelligent and brave, but also proficient in cooking? Such a perfect man, no wonder he was able to win the heart of Madam Shen back then."

The smile disappeared from Wang Lianhua's face instantly.

He suddenly felt that the disciple in front of him, who he had been quite satisfied with, was not as pleasing to the eye as before.

Zhu Qiqi also noticed the situation here, and immediately walked over with a smile on his face and asked what they wanted to eat.

His enthusiastic, cheerful and outgoing appearance made Xiaoyuer and Ye Kai blush a little. The person who was usually so talkative now seemed like a shy little girl, stammering when he spoke.

Lu Ping wanted to chat a little longer, but business was booming at the moment and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Fortunately, Wang Lianhua was obviously an old customer of theirs. She quickly ordered a few signature dishes and acted like an "expert" throughout the whole process.

Wang Lianhua seemed to be more familiar with what dishes Shen Lang could cook and what he was good at than Zhu Qiqi, because in just a short while, he introduced every food on the menu.

He explained clearly which samples and sweetness levels are more suitable, and which dishes pregnant women, the elderly, and children should avoid.

On the other hand, Zhu Qiqi, who was greeting the guests, gave each answer to the guests' questions using a set of painfully stiff templates. She did not behave like a waiter at all. It was obvious that the boss's wife had come to experience life at the grassroots level in person.

If someone didn’t know, they might think that Wang Lianhua learned to cook with Shen Lang.

But the actual situation is not like that, he just ate for free more often.
