Body Refinement for Longevity: From Health Cultivation Exercises to Overcoming All Techniques
Chapter 42 I Also Want to Learn Martial Arts
On the other side, Chen Han was looking at the sachet in his hand, examining it from head to toe, wondering what it was.
This was found by Chen Han from Wu Duan. He initially thought it was just a decoration, but after smelling it closely, he dismissed the idea.
The scent is incredibly refreshing; a gentle sniff is like a spring breeze, instantly boosting one's energy and making one's mind sharper.
Chen Han was certain that this thing was no ordinary object; it couldn't be made from just any common flowers and plants.
There was also a silver note with a face value of one hundred taels, a few taels of loose silver, not worth mentioning.
Wu Duan's fees are not low, starting at a hundred taels of silver. Normally, a hundred taels of silver is just his meal money.
It's estimated that no one but him knows where his true wealth lies.
Chen Han had no interest in looking for it. Even if he did find it, he knew he wouldn't be able to, and he might even end up losing more than he gained.
Chen Han hid the sachet in his chest so that he could smell the fragrance without being discovered.
Wu Duan's death was a major event, and the city was in an uproar that very day.
The powerful and influential people in the city were furious about this, as Wu Duan was exceptionally capable and usually served them.
His death will also affect the businesses of these powerful figures.
The Black Mountain Gang was extremely humiliated and angered, and they offered a reward of one hundred taels of silver to anyone who could provide relevant clues.
Many people were quite envious of this, but some dared not believe it. The Black Mountain Gang's behavior was well-known, and they feared that if they provided any clues, their entire family would die that very night.
Chen Han was naturally not afraid at all. He always went his own way, so no one would know about him.
Another day of boxing practice. [Breaking Mountain Fist (Mastery) 30/500]
As the sun sets in the west, the sky is ablaze with crimson hues.
Chen Han finished practicing his boxing. He was shirtless, sweat sliding down his firm muscles. He had a well-proportioned figure, neither fat nor thin, making people wonder if he was sculpted.
"Big brother."
At this moment, Shen Yue's voice came. Chen Han looked back and, sure enough, the graceful Shen Yue walked towards him.
However, there was another person beside him. Her beautiful and elegant appearance left a deep impression on Chen Han. His eyes darted around and he remembered that she was the junior sister who had come to ask him for advice a few days ago and had been dismissed by him with a single word. He had heard that she was also the beauty of the clan.
Shen Yue stayed at the Chen family's house for some time and naturally made some friends, forming her own little circle.
This little girl, who is about the same age as her, is one of her friends.
Chen Han only remembered that the little girl was a member of his clan, but he couldn't recall her name.
"Yue'er, who is this...?"
Chen Han didn't want to have too much contact with these people who were unrelated to him, but since his younger sister was there, he still had to be polite. It wouldn't be good if she went astray.
"This is the older sister I met at school. Her full name is Chen Huaiyu. She is definitely the most beautiful girl in the clan. She also practices martial arts and is your junior sister, big brother."
Shen Yue explained.
"Oh, it's Junior Sister Chen. I didn't recognize you at first. Sorry."
"It's alright, it's alright. Senior brother is focused on martial arts training, so it's normal that he doesn't know about junior sister."
Chen Huaiyu smiled, but inwardly she felt contempt. She thought to herself, "This senior brother used to be so fierce to me, but now Shen Yue is so polite. He's such a two-faced person."
"Yue'er, did you come to see me because you need something?"
Shen Yue pouted, "What? Can't I call my older brother if there's nothing wrong? Or does he see me as a burden he only calls on when he needs something?"
Chen Hanqian chuckled twice. "That's definitely not it."
The two chatted and laughed, leaving Chen Huaiyu, who was standing to the side, stunned. He couldn't help but think to himself that his senior brother really knew how to treat people differently based on their status.
"Actually, brother, I did come to see you because I have something to discuss."
Shen Yue's expression turned serious.
"I want to learn martial arts too!"
Chen Han was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
"Wait a minute. You're so young, why are you learning martial arts instead of studying? Besides, you're a girl. We need to consider not only your physical attributes but also whether you have a suitable martial art."
Li Muyun had previously asked him about his desire to learn martial arts, but at that time Chen Han only knew the Mountain-Breaking Fist, which was not suitable for a slender, graceful woman with a curvaceous figure.
If one insists on learning martial arts, one must find another style.
Now the opportunity has arisen. The Chen family is large and powerful, and naturally, in addition to the Mountain-Breaking Fist, there are other martial arts within the clan.
Chen Han continued, trying to dispel the idea of this arrogant young woman, "During your martial arts training, you will be able to endure more hardship than the men of the same age. This is not as simple as just saying it."
"Huaiyu has already told me all of this, and I've thought about it carefully."
Shen Yue looked directly at Chen Han, her gaze resolute. "I still want to learn martial arts."
Chen Han thought to himself, "This is bad. My little sister has grown up now. She has her own personality and ideas, and she can be willful once she makes a decision."
Chen Han gave the girl a deep look, then looked her up and down to see if she was suitable for martial arts.
But after looking for a long time, Chen Hanmao still couldn't figure it out; he didn't know how to test one's physique.
But Shen Yue must have already consulted someone in the clan, otherwise she wouldn't have been so determined to come and tell him about it.
Thinking about the life-or-death battle that night, Chen Han decided to give the other party an answer now.
"I don't object to your wanting to learn martial arts, but since you've chosen this path, you must persevere to the end and never give up halfway. Can you promise me that?"
Without hesitation, Shen Yue said, "I promise you."
"From now on, I will not offend others unless they offend me. You must be careful with your words and actions and never cause trouble. You may agree."
"I agree."
Seeing his younger sister's determination, Chen Han smiled with relief. "Alright, since you insist, then so be it. You can leave the money to me; you can get it from my old house later."
Chen Han's last sentence was a contingency plan he was making in case something happened to him.
If he were to die tonight, Shen Yue could use the money he got from looting the corpse to support his martial arts training for quite some time. If everything went smoothly, reaching the level of internal strength would not be a problem.
Shen Muyun knew where the silver was hidden. This woman was beautiful and kind-hearted, and besides, she was from the Chen family, so she wouldn't keep it all to herself.
As Chen Han spoke, his eyes trembled slightly, and his expression changed somewhat.
Who can take matters of life and death lightly?
Shen Yue noticed Chen Han's unusual behavior and asked worriedly, "Big brother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Chen Han regained his composure: "What could possibly happen? Alright, I have other matters to attend to at the manor, so I'll be leaving now."
Shen Yue gazed in the direction Chen Han had left, her eyes filled with sorrow, lost in thought.
"I always felt that my older brother was hiding a lot of things from me."
"Is there?"
······
That night, Chen Han went to the black market once again.
After disembarking, he stopped and didn't move forward, which drew a puzzled look from the short-statured Wang Yue.
Before seeking out Qingxue, he had another crucial issue to address...
