"Not bad, not bad, your strength has improved again. If it weren't for our different stances, I would have spared your life..." As the voice spoke, an old man in a Taoist robe suddenly appeared in front of the fat man.

"I've long admired Master Tian Qiaosheng of Bagua, but I've never had the chance to meet him before. Now that I've met him, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved..." the fat man said sincerely.

"You're too kind..." The old swindler clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression utterly indifferent. He disdained to say anything more to the Japanese. He snorted coldly and said, "You didn't lose unjustly. Are you prepared to die at my hands, Old Tian's hands?"

"Where is Du Jun? Why hasn't he shown up yet?" the fat man asked warily.

"We don't need him to deal with you. Who do you think you are? You think you're worth the two of us taking action?" the old swindler said disdainfully.

The fat man pursed his lips, but he knew in his heart that Du Rugui wasn't arrogant; he was hiding somewhere to prevent him from escaping. A slight bitterness welled up in his mouth: "Right here???"

"Where in the green hills are bones not buried..." The old swindler's answer was simple and direct.

"Alright..." The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold glint shot out from the gap.

The old swindler's eyes flashed with a divine light, and his entire demeanor changed. He seemed to have completely disappeared from the fat man's perception. This was because he had entered a state of oneness with heaven and man, ready to make a move at any moment.

"As expected of a grandmaster..." The fat man's eyes gleamed, his body as still as a mountain.

"Hmph..." Suddenly, a cold snort rang out in the valley. This snort was like a signal, and the two people immediately went from being extremely still to being extremely active.

The two figures transformed into two gray shadows, intertwined like swimming dragons, and began to fight, using both hands and feet.

"My God..." Zhu Yun stared wide-eyed at the two locked in combat, but dared not make a sound, afraid of being discovered by the fighting pair. "This is a Grandmaster-level expert..."

The old swindler's attack power was slightly inferior to that of the old lecher or even the fat man, but his speed and agility were universally acknowledged as the best in the world. The old swindler slapped the fat man dozens or hundreds of times, but the fat man didn't even touch a hair on the old swindler's head.

"Ah..." The fat man was getting hit repeatedly, and he was extremely frustrated. He gritted his teeth and roared, throwing punches as if his mind had been overwhelmed by anger.

Seeing the fat man's frantic state, the old swindler sneered inwardly. Experts at their level generally have minds as hard as iron. Without such a strong mind, it would be impossible to reach their level.

The old swindler was not fooled by the fat man's outburst and continued to systematically attack him.

"Really..." The old swindler wasn't fooled, but Zhu Yun, watching from the side, was increasingly anxious. She couldn't understand why Master Tian didn't take advantage of the other party's confused state to quickly and ruthlessly finish him off? Now it seemed like Master Tian was making a fool of him. Did Master Tian intend to properly... punish, no, humiliate him before he died?

How sleazy! So sleazy! No wonder people say Master Tian is a born sleazy, with the full characteristics of a rogue. Now it seems that's indeed true...

Zhu Yun muttered to herself, but dared not make a sound. Seeing the strength of the two men, she knew that she absolutely could not speak at this moment. Otherwise, if the fat man took her hostage, the outcome that Master Tian was destined to win might become uncertain.

"Your ability to withstand blows is indeed outstanding..." Just when the old swindler was unable to break through, a person slowly emerged from the bushes. This person was wearing a white training uniform and looked exceptionally vigorous. He was none other than the number one master in the world, the Xingyi grandmaster Du Rugui, also known as the old lecher.

"Now..." Actually, the fat man was waiting for the old lecher to appear. The old lecher was hiding in the shadows, and he dared not break through because he did not know where the old lecher would appear. If he ran away blindfolded, with the Bagua Master chasing after him, and then ran into the number one expert in the world, then his life would definitely be over. The attack power of the Xingyi Master was definitely not comparable to that of the Bagua Master. Relying on his thick skin, he could withstand hundreds of Bagua Master's palms, but he doubted whether he could withstand a punch from the Xingyi Master.

The old lecher appeared, and the fat man immediately began to break through. His stout body, like a falling red leaf, flew in the opposite direction from where the old lecher had appeared, and in a few leaps, he disappeared into the bushes.

Ow...

However, the fat man's fate seemed sealed. As soon as his figure disappeared into the forest, he let out a scream, and then fell silent.

The two old men stared at each other for a long time, then their figures moved like lightning as they darted into the forest. The scene that came into view stunned the two masters of internal martial arts.

In the arena, four or five large spotted dogs were biting the fat man's limbs and neck tightly. The fat man's eyes had rolled back, and he was no longer breathing.

"That's impressive. He was just one step away from officially entering the Grandmaster realm, yet he died tragically at the hands of wolves..." The old lecher looked rather depressed. Although they were on different sides, the fat man's strength had won the old lecher's approval, and he felt deep sympathy for his death.

"It wasn't a wolf's kiss, it was a dog's kiss! This Yang Ming actually keeps such vicious dogs..." The old swindler frowned, feeling somewhat displeased. Regardless of whether this fat man was an enemy or how he behaved, he at least had a human form. Yet these five large dogs attacked him without hesitation. Did that mean that these vicious dogs might also attack other people? It would be best to kill such vicious dogs to prevent them from harming innocent people someday.

Of course, the old conman wasn't a dog lover. His knowledge of dogs was limited to guarding and hunting; as for anything else... he didn't know.

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. These aren't vicious dogs at all! They're clearly spirit beasts. Didn't you notice? Their intelligence is quite remarkable among their kind..." The old lecher suddenly saw the eyes of the five dogs, and his heart skipped a beat. He said with a serious expression.

That said, an old lecher is definitely different from an old conman. An old lecher is extremely enthusiastic about flirting with cats and dogs, you could say he's incredibly enthusiastic...

"Huh??? A spirit beast???" The old swindler was also taken aback, and quickly focused his attention to examine it closely. What he saw startled him greatly. "It really is a spirit beast! It really is a spirit beast! For a beast that is less than a year old to grow to such a size is truly a blessing from heaven..."

"I don't think that 'one like this' and 'only one like this' have very different meanings," the old lecher said solemnly.

"Seniors, you're saying these spotted dogs are all spirit beasts???" Suddenly, a thin voice, trembling with excitement, came from behind the two old men. They were both startled; with their cultivation levels, they hadn't even noticed someone hiding there…

"Who goes there???" The two old men tensed up and shouted in unison...

"Um, seniors, please don't misunderstand. I'm not a bad person. I'm Yang Ming's college classmate. My name is Zhu Yun, and I'm from Zhujiazhuang, Hebei. While taking a bath, I accidentally saw you two displaying great power and bullying the Japanese. I was extremely impressed, so... so..." At the end, Boss Zhu became a little shy.

"Oh? Zhu Family Village??? I've heard of it. They have some standing in the martial arts world, especially the village chief Zhu Guangming, who has one foot already in the Grandmaster realm and could break through at any time..." The old lecher's expression shifted, and he said softly.

"That's right, senior is absolutely right. My father has been stuck in this half-step situation for seventeen years. For these seventeen years, he has been depressed and unhappy, to the point that he has even started keeping rabbits, cats, and dogs as playthings, which is a waste of his time." Zhu Yun blushed a little when she mentioned her father's hobbies over the years, feeling a bit disappointed and disappointed.

"Zhu Guangming truly deserves to be called a martial arts prodigy. His comprehension is indeed first-rate..." the old swindler exclaimed.

Perhaps, in Zhu Yun's eyes, Zhu Guangming's actions were nothing but indulging in frivolous pursuits and lacking ambition. However, in the eyes of these two worldly-wise old foxes, Zhu Guangming had already reached a level of profound understanding of life.

"Where are you now??? Let me see you..." The old lecher looked around and asked.

"Hey, didn't you recognize the voice? It was a girl's. She's taking a bath right now. Are you having your old habit kick in again?" The old swindler sneered and teased with a sly smile.

"You're the one who's making the same old mistakes??? Your whole family makes the same old mistakes???" The old lecher got angry and yelled at the old swindler, his face red and his neck thick.

"Who are you talking about??? Who are you talking about???" The old swindler had originally intended for everyone to just walk by, but he hadn't expected the old lecher to make fun of his own family. This was truly intolerable! Even if the uncle could tolerate it, the aunt couldn't...

And so, the two old friends who had just been working together so well suddenly started fighting over a little argument.

Leaving aside the dramatic changes in the hot spring valley, let's just talk about Zheng Dazhuang trying to coax Teacher Wang Li.

Although Zheng Dazhuang wasn't very eloquent, he was more than capable of charming girls... In fact, some true Casanovas don't even need words to charm girls.

"Hehe..." Zheng Dazhuang chuckled and squatted down next to Teacher Wang Li, watching her sit by the stove and tend the fire with a simple and honest expression.

"What are you laughing at???" Teacher Wang Li glanced at Zheng Dazhuang quickly, then looked around guiltily. Seeing that no one was looking this way, she rolled her eyes in annoyance and said irritably.

"Lili, Yang said you're leaving, is that true?" Zheng Dazhuang asked anxiously.

"That's right, I'm leaving soon..." Wang Li was furious when she heard Zheng Dazhuang's words.

"Then, can I stay?" Zheng Dazhuang asked hesitantly, like a young girl, her voice tinged with shyness. The lotus pond was flushed red.

"Stay here??? What are you going to do here?" Teacher Wang Li asked coldly.

"Well, for the children..." Zheng Dazhuang said with a righteous air. In any case, if the other person was a man with the same righteous air, then according to Zheng Dazhuang's thinking, he would definitely have a heavy feeling about him, just like him. But... in reality, the person she was talking to was a very ordinary little woman.

Wang Li's face darkened, she didn't even glance at Zheng Dazhuang, and kept pumping the bellows, determined to leave after finishing her meal, no matter who tried to stop her...

Of course, leaving doesn't mean never coming back.

"Hey, Lili, you're not leaving again, are you?" Zheng Dazhuang asked in a simple and honest way.

"..." Wang Li didn't say anything, and continued to pull the bellows.

"Lili, you're really not leaving, are you???" Zheng Dazhuang's face turned bitter.

"..." Wang Li remained silent, but she pumped the bellows even faster.

"Lili, are you even going to leave???" Zheng Dazhuang's face was contorted with rage.

"..." Wang Li still didn't lift off, and was about to increase the frequency of the bellows again...

"Alright, alright, Ms. Wang, hurry up and go do what you need to do. Don't mess with our bellows anymore. Our bellows is an old antique that's been around for decades. It can't withstand this kind of abuse. We'll call you when it's time to eat..." Wei Qingqing felt heartbroken watching Wang Li mess with the bellows.

Wang Li gave an awkward smile, got up and ran out, with Zheng Dazhuang quickly following after her.

"Lili, Lili, are you really leaving???" As soon as Wang Li stepped out of Yang Ming's yard, Zheng Dazhuang grabbed her.

"I'll leave after I finish eating..." Wang Li was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged. She struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free, so she let him pull her along.

"Um, um... can you please not leave???" Zheng Dazhuang said, his face flushed.

"I'm not as righteous and selfless as you say, sacrificing my family for the greater good..." Wang Li said angrily.

"Well, right? There were so many people there, you saw it yourself, they were all listening intently. What do you want me to say?" Zheng Dazhuang said somewhat awkwardly.

"Hmph..." Wang Li snorted coldly, but she was somewhat surprised. This Zheng Dazhuang looked simple-minded and silly, but he wasn't actually that stupid...

"Um, about us, right... um, let's get married, okay?" Zheng Dazhuang said, blushing.

"Is this how you propose???" Wang Li rolled her eyes at Zheng Dazhuang, her expression extremely unfriendly. What woman wouldn't want a touching proposal? A wedding??? What kind of proposal is this??? It's as bland as discussing buying a bottle of soy sauce today, so ordinary that it makes you want to stay calm, calm, and calm down.

"Um... just tell me, do you agree or not..." Zheng Dazhuang shook his head and said, frustrated and somewhat shameless, not thinking of any new words.

"I'm still young, I don't want to get married..." Wang Li rolled her eyes and said.

"Age is no excuse..." Although Zheng Dazhuang had never played football, it didn't mean he couldn't kick a ball. The trap had been dug deep, just waiting for someone to jump in. Well, traps are essential for hunters, and Zheng Dazhuang was quite good at it.

"Who said that???" Sure enough, Wang Li stepped into the trap that Zheng Dazhuang had dug.

"*** said so..." Zheng Dazhuang looked surprised, staring at Wang Li with the gaze of a doctoral supervisor looking at a kindergarten child. The meaning in his eyes was clear: How can you be so uncultured?

"Nonsense, when did *** ever say such a thing???" Wang Li felt Zheng Dazhuang's gaze, her face flushed, and she said angrily.

She genuinely didn't know that *** had said that.

"I don't know when she said it, but *** definitely said it. You can check if you don't believe me..." Zheng Dazhuang said, slapping his neck.

"Search??? Where do I search??? 'Quotations from ***'???" Wang Li rolled her eyes and said.

"Hehe... well, it might not be in the quotes..." Zheng Dazhuang scratched his head and chuckled.

"Then where do we check???" Wang Li pressed aggressively, unaware that the initiative had somehow shifted into Zheng Dazhuang's hands.

"How would I know??? Anyway, *** definitely said that, I just don't know if it was written down..." A sly glint flashed in Zheng Dazhuang's honest eyes.

"..." Wang Li stared at Zheng Dazhuang with her big eyes, pondered for a long time, and finally came to a shocking conclusion, "You're playing me???"

"Um, right??? I learned it from Brother Yang. Brother Yang likes to bully Sister Yang, right??? Um..." Zheng Dazhuang lowered his head shyly.

"You mean that, right? What exactly are you trying to say???" The veins on Wang Li's forehead throbbed, but she was secretly delighted. She hadn't expected that the honest guy she had picked wouldn't be a dull and boring person after all.

"Are you still leaving???" After holding back for a while, Zheng Dazhuang steered the conversation back on track. In an instant, Wang Li felt deeply hurt. How could he be so manipulative? Couldn't he have said something sweet instead?

"Let's go..." Wang Li stamped her foot, her words resolute.

"Really???" Zheng Dazhuang's eyes widened as he stared intently at Wang Li.

"Really, it's a hundred times more real than pearls..." Wang Li gritted her teeth.

"That's great..." Zheng Dazhuang breathed a sigh of relief.

"..." For a moment, Wang Li's mind went blank, and her eyes welled up with tears: "Say what you just said again..."

"Well, right?" Zheng Dazhuang said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, you don't need to rush..."

"Huh???" Zheng Dazhuang confused Wang Li, who involuntarily followed his train of thought.

"Really, really, there's no rush. We can get the marriage certificate anytime. There are plenty of people getting married in our village without a certificate..." Zheng Dazhuang blushed like a young girl.

"..." Wang Li's face flushed red, whether from embarrassment or anger, she didn't know. She waved her small fist at Zheng Dazhuang, "When did I say I wanted to get a marriage certificate with you???"

"Then why are you going home???" Zheng Dazhuang asked in surprise, then suddenly looked enlightened. "I know, you're going to tell our parents, right??? Should I bring anything??? I've never been to my in-laws' house before, I don't know what gift to bring, do you have any experience???"

"I have no experience... No, no, no, who said I was taking you back to meet our parents... Pui pui pui, it's my parents..." Wang Li was so angry with Zheng Dazhuang that she was incoherent. Of course, only the parties involved knew whether she was really angry, but Wang Li was convinced that she was definitely angry, one hundred and twenty percent of the time.
