The sky collapsed, and in the blink of an eye, I found myself transported to Nanluoguxiang.

Seeing that Li Kaixin had rested enough, Chao Lu and Enhe exchanged a smile and took Li Kaixin's arms, one on each side.

"Dad! Let's take Kaixin and his brother out for a walk!" Chaolu said to Uliji.

Li Kaixin quickly stood up and respectfully said to Uliji, "Uncle Uliji, thank you for your hospitality. I'll take my leave now."

Uliji laughed heartily and patted Li Kaixin's shoulder forcefully:

"Happy brother, you're always welcome here! Next time you come, have your aunt make you some hand-pulled mutton!"

"Definitely, definitely! I'll bring you local specialties from Beijing when I visit you," Li Kaixin replied sincerely.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chao Lu and En He couldn't wait to pull Li Kaixin outside.

We left the yurt.

Li Kaixin couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Chaolu, Brother Enhe, where are you taking me this time?"

As Chao Lu walked, he explained with a smile:

"Hey Kaixin, the Naadam Festival is about to start here! Lots of people are training right now. Let me show you!"

Li Kaixin immediately became interested upon hearing this and did not resist, letting the two of them pull her away.

Afterwards, Enhe and Chaolu led Li Kaixin to a grassland surrounded by Mongolian men.

Even before we got close, we could hear cheers of encouragement.

"come on!"

"Batu, give it your all, you're about to win!"

"Suhe, hang in there!"

Amidst the rising and falling shouts, Li Kaixin was pulled to the front of the crowd by the two men.

The match in the stadium had just ended.

The burly Mongolian man, known as Batu, exerted his strength and threw his opponent, Suhe, to the ground.

Enhe and Chaolu released Li Kaixin and waved to Batu in the middle of the field: "Brother Batu!"

Batu saw the two men and walked over, asking with a puzzled look, "Enhe and Chaolu, what brings you two brothers here?"

When Chaolu saw Batu approaching, he warmly introduced them:

"Brother Batu, this is our new friend Li Kaixin. He came with the transport team yesterday."

As she spoke, she pushed Li Kaixin forward.

Li Kaixin wasn't intimidated at all. He extended his hand and smiled, "Brother Batu, hello."

Seeing this, Batu laughed heartily, grabbed Li Kaixin's hand, and gave him a firm hug:

"Happy brothers, welcome to the grasslands!"

Chao Lu, who was standing to the side, also laughed and said, "Brother Kaixin, how about a match with me? I'll teach you a few basic moves."

Li Kaixin thought about it and, unwilling to refuse Chao Lu's good intentions, nodded in agreement.

The Mongolian men watching saw Chaolu lead a strange Han Chinese youth into the arena.

A commotion immediately erupted.

Batu, standing offstage, loudly introduced the boy to the crowd: "This is Li Kaixin! Let's cheer him on!"

The Mongolian men watching cheered again.

But deep down, most people weren't too optimistic about this slightly thin-looking Han Chinese youth.

Chao Lu quickly taught Li Kaixin the basic moves.

The competition officially began, and Li Kaixin, who possessed the skills of a martial arts master, handled Chao Lu's fierce attacks with ease.

In order not to make Chaolu lose too badly, he deliberately played around for a few rounds before finally throwing Chaolu to the ground.

The Mongolian men watching were taken aback at first, then burst into enthusiastic applause, which dispelled their skepticism.

After thanking everyone, Li Kaixin reached out and pulled Chaolu up from the grass, walking back to Batu and Enhe's side.

Batu patted Li Kaixin on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Brother Kaixin, I never would have guessed! You look so skinny, but you're actually so amazing!"

"Brother Batu, you flatter me. It was just a lucky break," Li Kaixin said modestly, scratching his head.

Chao Lu, standing to the side, spoke the truth:

"Happy brother, don't be modest."

"I just used all my strength, and you didn't even flinch. If you really used all your strength, I'm afraid I wouldn't even last one round."

These words instantly piqued Batu's interest, and he became eager to try it out on Li Kaixin:

"Hey Kaixin, wanna have a match with me?"

"Let's have a match! Let's have a match!" The Mongolian men watching also joined in the commotion.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Li Kaixin had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Just then, Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang arrived at the scene along with several Mongolian men.

Both Li Kaixin and Batu were surprised to see them about to face off in the arena.

They came to watch the excitement, but they never expected to run into Li Kaixin.

"How many rounds do you think Kaixin can last?" Wu Tian whispered to Qian Dazhuang.

Qian Dazhuang shook his head: "Maybe one round."

In any case, neither of them had a high opinion of Li Kaixin.

After the competition began, Batu initially thought that Chaolu was exaggerating, but once they started fighting, he found that Li Kaixin's strength was in no way inferior to his own.

After several rounds, Li Kaixin pretended to have won by a narrow margin and won the match.

The crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.

Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang were dumbfounded. Recalling what happened that night on watch, they couldn't help but shudder.

Li Kaixin reached out and helped Batu up, saying modestly, "Brother Batu, it was a narrow victory, a narrow victory."

Batu laughed heartily: "There's no such thing as a narrow victory! A loss is a loss. You are indeed stronger than me!"

As the two walked back to Chaolu and Enhe's side, Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang quickly came over.

"Kaixin, you're amazing!" Wu Tian exclaimed.

Qian Dazhuang nodded in agreement.

Li Kaixin smiled at the two of them and said, "It was all because Brother Batu let me have my way."

Then he introduced the two to Batu and the others.

Afterwards, Enhe and Chaolu took Li Kaixin to experience archery.

Batu will continue training in wrestling, while Wu Tian and Qian Dazhuang will stay at the wrestling arena to watch.

The afternoon passed by in a flash.

As they parted, Li Kaixin said to Chaolu and Enhe, "Brother Enhe, Brother Chaolu, can I borrow a horse tomorrow?"

Both of them were somewhat surprised.

Chao Lu asked, "Brother Kaixin, what do you need the horse for?"

Li Kaixin couldn't openly say he wanted to go to the Greater Khingan Mountains, so he made up an excuse, explaining:

"I want to ride a horse around by myself and enjoy the scenery of the grassland."

Chao Lu nodded, but still gave him some words of advice with concern:

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you at the horse farm first thing tomorrow morning."

"But you must be back before dark, as there are wolf packs on the grassland at night, and it's very dangerous."

"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Chaolu. I will definitely be back before dark!" Li Kaixin said gratefully.

Afterwards, Enhe and Chaolu wanted to invite Li Kaixin to their home for dinner, but Li Kaixin politely declined.

The two didn't insist, but simply told him to wait for Li Kaixin at the horse farm the next morning before taking their leave.

When Li Kaixin returned to the yurt, the three people inside all looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

Li Kaixin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at.

It turned out that Wu Tian had already vividly described what happened that afternoon, leaving Master Chen and Captain Wang completely stunned.

When Captain Wang and Master Chen saw Li Kaixin, all they said in the end was, "Kaixin, you're really amazing."

This reaction made Li Kaixin feel embarrassed.

Dinner ended amidst Wu Tian's endless praise.
