Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 15 People’s hearts are broken
Uncle Li looked at his nephew's miserable state, and his lips twitched helplessly: "Isn't this like you're robbing him alive?"

"Yes, it's outright robbery. If you were quiet and law-abiding people, I wouldn't rob you. Stealing and robbing both involve taking things from others; essentially, they both involve obtaining property that doesn't belong to you. Is there a difference?"

Han Yun stared intently at the other party. If Uncle Li were to utter a single word of dissent, the matter would be completely different, and the logic would be flawed.

Uncle Li really wanted to say yes.

What annoys him most every day is that you robbers have absolutely no skill involved!

But at this moment, Uncle Li could only swallow his anger and think it over. Looking at his nephew's bleeding hands, he had no choice but to steel himself.

Alright, he'll just assume the other person is also a member of the thief's gang!
He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "All thieves under heaven are one family. It's not against the rules for me to pass on this little bit of my unrefined knowledge to you."

As he spoke, Uncle Li flicked the silk thread on his wrist, and a booklet no bigger than the palm of his hand appeared in his palm. He then held it respectfully in his hand.

"The goods are presented; please, sir, show mercy!"

Han Yun shook his head, a half-smile on his face, and said, "If I were to take the things from the table myself, your cuffs would be pointing right at me."

Uncle Li immediately gave a wry smile: "How could I? I wouldn't dare to have such thoughts!"

After carefully placing the items on the table, he instructed, "Our school excels in agility and quick reflexes, working in subtle and hidden ways. Your movements are extremely fast; I'm afraid your head will be gone before I even make a move!"

Han Yun, however, continued to stare at him: "Better safe than sorry. Human hearts are treacherous; who can say for sure?"

Uncle Li carefully examined the man's excessively youthful face and sincerely exclaimed, "He's a great talent!"

Han Yun kicked the short young man and said, "Go, give me the things!"

The short young man raised his arm and his bleeding hand, indicating that he really couldn't lift it.

Han Yun laughed instead, "Isn't it supposed to have a mouth? What if your uncle puts some medicine on it..."

"He himself said it: it's all about making a fuss in the subtle and hidden details!"

Upon hearing Han Yun's words, cold sweat broke out on Uncle Li's forehead. The short young man froze for a moment, then looked at Uncle Li as if seeking confirmation.

Uncle Li's face turned ashen in an instant, and he sighed, "I give up!"

Then, Uncle Li opened his hands and tore off a layer of disguised skin from his palms. He used this skin to wrap the booklet and dipped it in the water beside him, then put it back in its original place with his bare hands. Only then did the young man hand the booklet to Han Yun.

Han Yun did not take it immediately. Instead, he found a piece of cloth, wrapped it up, and put it in his bosom, but actually put it into his inner space.

"Also, you can keep my wallet. It's an exchange, so I won't be considered to have robbed you."

These words immediately broke down Uncle Li's defenses. Looking at this courtyard house, did he look like someone who needed money?
You've gone too far, not only killing someone but also destroying their spirit!
Just as Han Yun turned to leave.

Uncle Li suddenly spoke up: "Young master, from now on we are of the same lineage. What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

I would like to be your friend!

Han Yun gave him a deep look and sneered, "Making friends with someone as cunning as you, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep peacefully from now on."

“From now on, I’ll go my own way, and you’ll go yours. We… will never have met!” Uncle Li nodded: “Understood.”

Just after Han Yun left.

The short young man said unwillingly, "Uncle, are you just going to pass on our secret techniques to him like this?"

Uncle Li suddenly slapped the young man across the face and said angrily, "What can I do if I don't give it to him? Look at him, and then look at you. He handles things perfectly, while you, you've only been learning the skills for a few days and you're already showing off everywhere!"

"I told you, the crackdown has been strict lately, no hunting. Your claws have been itching all the time. Now you know how painful it is."

"Keep bringing me trouble every day. When I can't protect you anymore, you'll know what it means to be too late and regret it!"

The short young man still looked at Uncle Li with unconvinced expression.

Uncle Li sighed and said earnestly, "You are my elder brother's son. My elder brother passed away ten years ago. I watched you grow up from childhood and treated you like my own son."

Would I harm you?

He then found some disinfectant to temporarily disinfect the young man, and then took him to the hospital.

Looking at his nephew lying on the hospital bed, grimacing and sulking, Uncle Li sighed, "My brother was right after all. If people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead the team!"

To be honest, his nephew was lacking in both quick wit and practical skills. Uncle Li had been trying to comfort himself, saying that the child was still young and would mature as he experienced more in the future.

But without comparison, there is no harm.

Thinking of the disgraceful behavior his nephew had just displayed, Uncle Li could only comment, "He has the desire but not the courage."

Uncle Li suddenly wondered if he should take on another apprentice to carry on his mantle before he got too old.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of that boy again. If only he were my apprentice!

-----

After succeeding, Han Yun did not rush to look through the documents. Instead, he first found a place to eat and satisfied his hunger before finding a hotel to rest.

On the bed, Han Yun laid out the two martial arts skills he had recently acquired and studied them carefully.

There's no need to elaborate on the Northern Shaolin Cotton Palm technique. As for the booklet, Han Yun used a toothpick to carefully examine each page.

The book contains a systematic set of knowledge, including makeup, disguise, leather making, sculpting, tricks, observation, reading expressions, and conversation techniques, among others.

Most importantly, of course, are the Qi cultivation method for concealing one's aura, the prescription for softening hand bones, the theft techniques, and the hand skills for using delicate tools.

In other words, if you master these skills, you'll definitely become a legendary thief!
The reason why Han Yun was able to easily subdue his opponent was simply speed. His opponent's inheritance did not contain any suitable movement techniques; instead, it emphasized how to steal from close quarters.

Uncle Li's technique of controlling the knife with a thread in the sleeve is achieved by using a clever device combined with skillful hand techniques.

Ultimately, this method isn't particularly sophisticated, but it does have its merits. At least in terms of understanding people's hearts and using persuasive language, it certainly shows considerable thought.

Of course, what Han Yun cared about most was the Qi cultivation method, and the name was also very fitting: the Breath Control Method!
It can suppress the fluctuations of one's own breath and the innate Qi, reducing the life force to a minimum and achieving a state of stillness and emptiness.

Like a snake hibernating or a tortoise hiding, they lie in a quiet place!
