If Only You Were a Girl

"Thanks."

Ling Yue was taken aback, then pursed her lips and said.

As he spoke, he put away his weapon.

"If you overexert yourself, you won't be able to eat," Wang Ming said with a smile.

Ling Yue smiled gently.

Slap slap slap

At that moment, thunderous applause erupted, and only then did the two realize that a large crowd had gathered around them.

"Ling Yuan, how about it? Am I handsome or not?" Wang Ming asked like a boastful child as he stepped off the stage.

"Good."

"But you can't break my shield."

One second Wang Ming was quite happy, but when he heard the next sentence, his smile instantly froze.

"All you do is hide behind your shield; you're practically useless by now."

"You don't understand, this is called a sense of security."

Ling Yuan raised his index finger and shook it in front of Wang Ming: "When you're out in the world, the most important thing is to protect yourself."

Wang Ming: "The best defense is offense."

"Is this your excuse for always coming back lying down?"

Wang Ming: "..."

Wang Ming ≈ Hu Tao

Ling Yuan = Zhongli

Zhongli = Hu Tao's father, therefore, Ling Yuan = Wang Ming's father.

"Let's go, all the dishes should be served by now." Ling Yuan said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Shi, stop chatting, it's time to eat."

"Coming right away."

Xiao Shi, who was explaining martial arts to Li Jinglong, replied.

"Let's talk again next time."

After saying that, he immediately abandoned the seemingly rejuvenated Li Jinglong and walked towards Ling Yuan.

"Ah?"

Li Jinglong was taken aback.

Finish your story before you leave! If you only say half of it, he'll only feel more resentful.

"Master, wait! Don't go!"

Eager to learn, Li Jinglong quickly caught up, reached out, and grabbed Xiao Shi's arm.

Ling Yuan was stunned when he saw this.

In his haste, he saw Xiao Shi instinctively grab the old man.

Then came an over-the-shoulder throw!

With a loud thud, the old man was thrown directly to the ground, cracking the floorboards.

It happened so fast that no one had time to react.

"Um?"

The belatedly aware Xiao Shi stared blankly at Li Jinglong in the deep pit.

What just happened?

Chapter 539 If only it were a girl

Xiao Shi stared blankly at Li Jinglong on the ground.

Why did he suddenly run underground?

The others were stunned.

Did a seemingly frail young woman angrily throw an elderly man in public?

If this were recorded, it definitely wouldn't trend on social media; it's not like a girl got thrown...

Once Xiao Shi realized what was happening, she let go of his hand.

"Ouch, it hurts so much!"

A pained cry rang out, and an old man with a contorted body crawled out of the deep pit.

'That was ruthless.'

Even though he was a physical cultivator, he was in so much pain from this attack that he grimaced.

Not only did I sprain my back, but I also dislocated my hand.

If he hadn't trained, he probably wouldn't even be able to get up.

However, this also shows that Xiao Shi's martial arts skills are superb. He can render someone powerless to fight back in one move. What else could he be but a master?

His face showed pain, but his eyes were full of surprise.

Pure constitution.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Shi asked, looking down at Li Jinglong, who was lying on the ground.

"It's alright. Don't let my appearance fool you. I've trained before, and I can easily heal this little injury."

Li Jinglong waved his hand, and with his other hand, he snapped his dislocated hand.

The hand that was crooked miraculously recovered.

"Grandpa, could you please not be so scary next time? I can't stop myself," Xiao Shi said helplessly.

She never expected the old man to suddenly grab her.

Long-term physical exercise has long since formed muscle memory, so if someone suddenly grabs you, your body won't even think about it.

"I'm so sorry, I got too excited," the old man said apologetically.

During his casual conversation with Xiao Shi, he heard about a brand-new system, and Xiao Shi pointed out several flaws in his martial arts, which made his martial arts, which had stagnated for many years, show signs of a breakthrough.

He believed that Xiao Shi would definitely become a guiding light to lead him back to the right path!

That's why he got so agitated when Xiao Shi suddenly stopped talking.

"It's alright, it's alright. Don't underestimate me. I'm the Vice President of the Martial Arts Association, after all," Li Jinglong said.

"That's good."

"Xiao Shi!"

At that moment, a voice rang out.

Xiao Shi froze as Ling Yuan walked over with a serious expression.

Seeing Ling Yuan's menacing demeanor, the people around him quickly backed away.

"Brother Ling Yuan seems very angry," Little Bai Yu said.

"Angry? Maybe." Wang Ming chuckled.

Seeing the menacing Ling Yuan, Li Jinglong felt a sense of foreboding and quickly said, "Young man, it was my own carelessness..."

However, Ling Yuan completely ignored him and went straight to Xiao Shi.

Just when everyone thought Ling Yuan was going to lecture Xiao Shi, the latter's words surprised everyone.

Ling Yuan held Xiao Shi's hand, examining it as he asked, "Did this old man hurt you?"

Everyone: "???"

Where's the gossip? What happened to the promised gossip extravaganza?

Several people who were recording videos with their phones were dumbfounded.

Li Jinglong: "???"

"Why?"

Little Bai Yu was completely bewildered when she saw this scene for the first time.

"No."

Xiao Shi shook his head.

"That's good. Don't do such dangerous things next time." Ling Yuan gently rubbed Xiao Shi's head.

"If you're going to fall, don't fall so close. What if the flying debris hurts you?"

Li Jinglong: "..."

How do I feel?

Little Bai Yu's brain seemed to freeze up.

"Don't fall so close" means that next time you can throw it further away with more force?

"Ling Yuan is very protective of his own. Even if something really happens, his first concern will still be the safety of his family," Wang Ming said.

"In other words, he will always be on your side, and of course, he will correct you if you really do something wrong."

"Tsk, why should I speak up for him?"

Wang Ming became increasingly unhappy as he spoke, especially when he thought about the previous topic of the Jade Shield, which made him feel very annoyed.

Shen Xunwei smiled without saying a word.

"OK."

The Xiao Shi, being stroked, showed an expression of enjoyment and obediently said...

Everyone fell silent.

After all, this was the first time I'd ever heard someone offer such comforting words.

It's not the victims, it's the perpetrators!

After comforting Xiao Shi, Ling Yuan turned around and looked at the person who needed comforting more, saying, "Sir, is there anything you'd like to say?"

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned their attention to the old man.

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong quickly replied, "No, no."

As he spoke, he waved his hand at the onlookers around him. "Everyone, stop looking, I'm in good health."

"What happened just now wasn't the young lady's fault; it was my abrupt actions that frightened her," the old man explained.

"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now," Ling Yuan said.

"Etc."

"Is there anything else?"

"Young man, could I have your contact information? I have a lot of questions I'd like to ask this young lady," Li Jinglong said expectantly.

Ling Yuan glanced at him.

"It's already been added."

After saying that, he left with Xiao Shi.

"Added?"

Li Jinglong was taken aback. He subconsciously picked up his phone and saw that there was a new number in his contacts.

"Ling Yuan? That name sounds familiar..."

Night

After dinner, everyone strolled around the streets for a while, bought some clothes for Little Bai Yu, and then went home.
