Chapter 499 Infinite Boxing Gym
"Father-in-law, let's talk about selling the martial arts school." After Zhao Hu's people left, Li Ming spoke to Old Man Ding with a smile.

The broker Zhang Hui also said, "Old Ding, this guy has been a great help today. Logically speaking, your martial arts school was won back by him. Now he is willing to discuss business with you. It must be because this gentleman is kind-hearted and is willing to offer a low price."

Old Man Ding pondered for a moment, then stared at Li Ming with a sharp gaze and said, "Young man, may I ask why your disciple knows my Kaishan Fist? Could it be that you know my son?"

This may seem like a far-fetched statement, but in Old Man Ding's opinion, Yang An was so young, yet his attainments in Kaishan Fist were simply astonishing. It would have been impossible if he had not practiced it since childhood, and he would have needed the guidance of a famous teacher.

And who else but one's own son could teach such a disciple?

What's more, Old Man Ding wished so much that his child was still alive at this moment, so there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes, perhaps even he himself did not notice it.

The child whose life or death is unknown and whose whereabouts are unknown is still the biggest gap in his heart.

Li Ming sighed upon seeing this and said, "I just saw you two fighting, so I got your impression. As for you, I don't know you at all."

After receiving Li Ming's reply, Old Man Ding was not surprised, but relieved. He then sighed deeply and said, "Forget it, it's just wishful thinking. Young man, you have helped me so much, how could I be ungrateful? Xiao He, go get the house deeds and land deeds."

The young man, who had just nearly had his legs broken by Zhao Hu, was still stubborn, but now, facing this order, his face was covered with tears. He tugged at Old Man Ding's sleeve and said, "Master, I don't want you to leave. I don't want you to sell the house and land. Master won't be able to find us when he comes back. Didn't we agree to wait for Master in the martial arts hall?"

Old Man Ding smiled bitterly and said, "Child, it's been five years. Forget it. Perhaps, as Zhao Hu said, this rebellious son has already been wiped out."

As he spoke, he touched the boy's head. His movements were very gentle, but his rough palm gave the boy a rare warmth.

Hearing this, Li Ming's heart moved, and he lowered his voice to ask the broker a few questions. The broker's eyes rolled around and he also whispered to Li Ming.

Li Ming then nodded and said to Old Man Ding, "Master Ding, I wonder how much you plan to sell your martial arts school for?"

Old Man Ding looked around at the place where he had worked for most of his life, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes. He sighed and said, "This martial arts hall almost fell into the hands of bad guys today. It was only you and your disciple who came to our rescue. How can I dare to ask for a price? I will just give it to you as a gift."

Li Ming shook his head and said, "Business is business. Let's put aside the emotional matters. Business matters should be handled as they should be. I think this boxing gym is good, and the price of five hundred taels is reasonable."

To be honest, the price was a bit low. Normally, it should be between eight hundred and one thousand taels. However, considering the previous favor, Old Man Ding nodded in agreement.

"I have no objection to this price."

"Okay!" Li Ming clapped his hands and smiled. "In that case, take the money."

"what?"

When these words came out, not only Old Man Ding, but everyone else was shocked, wondering what Li Ming was up to. Seeing this, Li Ming said, "This martial arts school was won back by my apprentice. This price is naturally the reward that Master Ding voluntarily gave us."

"This, this." Old man Ding was speechless for a moment. He never expected that Li Ming could say such words.

The boy and the girl were speechless for a moment. Who would have thought that Li Ming, who was like a savior just now, would suddenly become a blackmailer.

Li Ming only then smiled and said, "I think it would be better to do this. I bought the boxing gym with the intention of opening it to teach students, but as the saying goes, one person can't support the whole thing. Master Ding has been famous in the martial arts school street of Nandu City for a long time and is also a well-known veteran boxer. I will hire you as my assistant and continue to teach boxing in the martial arts gym. The salary will be ten taels of silver per month, with food and accommodation provided. When you pay back the five hundred taels of silver, I will give you freedom!"

At this moment, everyone understood what Li Ming meant. Yang An also smiled at Li Ming and gave him a thumbs up.

Li Ming had just asked the broker. Old Man Ding was a kind person with an excellent reputation. Now he thought it was indeed true. Of course, the more important thing was that he wanted to keep the young man. For such a person with extraordinary luck and talent, Li Ming would continue to verify his guess on him.

Old Man Ding looked stunned, but quickly said, "I appreciate your kindness, young man, but I am old and frail now, and I am afraid I am not up to the task."

Li Ming shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay. My apprentice will handle everything else. Master Ding only needs to worry about some chores. Besides, do you plan to take them with you on a journey?"

After hearing this, Old Man Ding finally made up his mind and bowed to Li Ming, saying, "Young man, you are so kind-hearted. I thank you. Come, let me introduce you. This is my granddaughter, Ding Huizhen, and this is my disciple, He Wei. Come, both of you pay your respects to the young man."

"Thank you for your help, hero!" Ding Huizhen showed no shyness of a young girl. She came out to greet him, and her demeanor was quite heroic. He Wei was very honest. He knelt down and kowtowed several times. When he looked up again, there was a bruise on his forehead.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again in the future. I came to Nandu City to open a martial arts school. If today's events spread, I think it will be a small boost. Zhang Hui, you can spread some news about me." Li Ming pondered for a moment and then asked Yang An, "What do you think is a good name for our martial arts school?"

Yang An thought for a while, then said, "Master, why not call it Infinite Boxing Gym?"

Li Ming looked at Yang An's clear eyes, and for a moment his thoughts seemed to go back to the time when they first met in Jiulian City, from the "no medicine is the most bitter" when they first met to the "immortal stroked my hair and gave me immortality" when they met in the middle of the night, and then to the teaching of martial arts later. This kid is indeed a genius, which makes him feel a little bit of cherishment for his talent.

Then they met again in Beiguo County by fate. After some inquiries in the tent, he realized that this kid was really in love with him, and finally made up his mind to accept him as his apprentice.

"Infinity. The so-called infinity means that learning has no end. What a great infinity! I can't forget it!" Li Ming's eyes seemed to light up, he held his head high and his voice was like a bell.

"Hahaha, fine, then just as you said, let's call it Infinite Boxing Gym. In three days, my Infinite Boxing Gym will officially open!"
