All Adults, Can You Be a Little More Mature?

"Space?"

Zhou Na nodded gently. "There are some, but not many, about ten acres. What do you want to do with them?"

"Is he planning to invest in real estate?"

It's not that Zhou Na has too much of a wild imagination, but what do people, especially the 'rich people,' want when they acquire land these days?

Ninety-nine percent of them are for building houses and developing real estate.

Although Lin Fan wasn't particularly wealthy, with his Jade Muscle Cream and his incredible 'raw stone craftsmanship,' he was definitely not poor.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable for them to want to get involved in real estate to make more money.

"That's not right!"

But soon, Zhou Na doubted herself. "If you want to acquire land, why do you want to acquire land near Green Mountain Town? Although this place is not considered backward, it is still a rural town. If it weren't for its proximity to the University City and the large number of students renting there, there would only be a few elderly people living alone."

"Building a building in this location is not a wise choice."

Building buildings is definitely for making money, right?

But how much money can you make building a house near Green Mountain Town?

"Actually, I didn't do it to build a building."

Lin Fan shrugged. "I just want to farm."

"Farming?!"

Zhou Na squinted at me. "Are you kidding me, kid?"

"It's true!"

"Actually, I don't have many other hobbies. I just like farming, planting some flowers and plants, and picking some herbs."

"Herbal medicine?"

Zhou Na pondered for a moment and then understood.

"Personally, I have no objection, but my brother also has a share in this land, so my opinion alone doesn't count."

"If you want it, I have time to talk to him about it. If he's not willing, I can probably give you half?"

"That's great, I really need to thank you properly." Lin Fan laughed.

Even if it's only half of a dozen acres, that's still several acres, which is more than enough for the short term.

"What are you thanking me for?"

Zhou Na said nonchalantly, "Anyway, we're just idling around, and there's no need to build a house, so I'll let you farm."

"That's great! I'll definitely pay you the market rate for the rent!"

"Alright, we'll talk about it later."

During the conversation, the Little BMW drove off the highway and wound its way along the mountain road.

"This place??"

Lin Fan suddenly recognized it. "Isn't that scenic spot? I think I've been here before..."

"Stone Pillar Mountain".

Zhou Na reminded her.

"Yes, yes, Stone Pillar Mountain, that mountain peak is like a stone pillar or something, and it's even bigger on top. Many people say it looks like..."

"Like what?"

Zhou Na smiled slightly.

Lin Fan's eyelids twitched. "..."

Oh my god, how did we end up talking about this? So sad!

His mind raced, and he finally came up with another explanation. "They say it's a symbol of the Most Yang Object!"

"Cut."

Zhou Na rolled her eyes. "We're all adults, can't you be as mature as me?"

"It clearly looks like a turtle's head that's stretched out!"

"..."

"You're the one who's immature, okay? Can't you be a little more mature like me? Goat and sheep, giddy up!"

Fortunately, although Lin Fan had some straight-man traits in Zhou Na's eyes, he wasn't mentally challenged, so the journey wasn't too awkward.

We arrived at Stone Pillar Mountain at around 11 a. m.

Stone Pillar Mountain is about 2,000 meters above sea level. The area below it is a normal mountain with various terrains and plants.

But the top two or three hundred meters...

But suddenly it turned into a 'cylinder', the mountain was bare, with almost no vegetation, and the top was slightly larger, which did look a bit... unusual.

"Master Tongbei lives halfway up Stone Pillar Mountain. I came here once before with a friend, and we agreed to start the fight this afternoon. We don't have anything else to do, so we'll go up and take a look first. We'll talk about the specifics when we get here."

Lin Fan nodded repeatedly. "Should we go buy something?"

"What should I buy? Fruit? No need, I brought a bottle of liniment..."

"You think he's destined to lose?!"

"Hey, the odds of winning weren't great to begin with."

"But what I mean is, should we buy some gas supplies? Like cheerleading gear or something? I remember there are some related items for sale in this tourist area?"

"... Are you out of your mind?"

Amidst conversation and laughter, we parked the car and headed up the mountain.

The car was parked in the scenic area's parking lot, but the residents didn't live inside the scenic area, so they had to walk up the mountain.

Looking at the lush green forest around me, I breathed in the fresh air.

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I admire these people quite a lot. They live deep in the mountains, and although they are not completely isolated from the world, they have almost rejected all the worldly pleasures."

"Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals; self-cultivation is truly admirable!"

"Actually, this is also a matter of interest and hobby."

Zhou Na slowly shook her head. "I don't have the sense of mission that many people think about. Of course, maybe I do, but not much."

"Times have changed, martial arts are no longer needed, so naturally fewer and fewer people will practice them. Most of those who do practice do so out of personal interest."

"It's the same principle as loving to play cards, playing games, or racing. It's just that practicing martial arts is more tiring, more difficult, and requires more perseverance."

Halfway up the mountain.

An ordinary little courtyard.

It wasn't a Thatched Cottage or a very rustic house; from a distance, it just looked like an ordinary country cottage.

The two-story house, about a hundred square meters in size, was just approaching noon, with wisps of smoke rising from the chimneys, creating a serene and contented atmosphere.

When Lin Fan and his companion arrived at the location, there were already quite a few people in the courtyard.

Several of them, upon seeing Zhou Na, excitedly gathered around her...

However, Zhou Na stood behind Lin Fan with a look that said "keep away."

Seeing this, Lin Fan smiled helplessly, "..."

Okay.

Was he conscripted to be used as a shield?

After seeing Lin Fan, the young people became a little more reserved. They greeted Zhou Na politely and then started chatting in twos and threes.

"Are these people all from your circle?"

"Right."

"It seems like everyone wants to pursue you."

Do you think I should give them a chance?

Zhou Na rolled her eyes.

She's not against marriage; she's thought about finding someone like-minded to be with, but the problem is, there are only a few...

She doesn't care about family background or anything like that, but her appearance is a problem.

If you can't even get past this hurdle, what else can you talk about?

"Then do you think I'll be treated like a public enemy and they might beat me up or something?"

"It's not that dramatic."

Zhou Na laughed, "Even if they really come, you can just beat them up, right?"

"But I really don't know martial arts!" Lin Fan said helplessly.

"Keep pretending, then..."

"Let's go in and see Master Yuan first."

Master Yuan is the owner of this place. He has practiced Through-the-Back Fist since childhood and is quite well-known in the circle.

Inside the room, Lin Fan saw many 'stances' used for practicing martial arts, but they were different from the ones he usually saw, so he couldn't help but look at Zhou Na.

"This is a unique stance in Through-the-Back Fist. Through-the-Back Fist's power generation is unique and very powerful. Its practice is also completely different from other martial arts."

"Xiao Na is here?"

Before Zhou Na finished speaking, a small old man came out of the inner room. He was not strong, but he was definitely not thin either. He looked to be about fifty years old and was in good spirits.

"Uncle Yuan, let's come and take a look."

"Thank you for your kindness." Taking the liniment from Zhou Na, Master Yuan was both amused and exasperated. "Looks like I'm doomed today. More than a dozen people came, and seven or eight of them were liniments for bruises..."

"How could that be?"

Zhou Na replied, "It's for the other party."

"Then I'll accept it. And who is this gentleman?"

"A friend of mine, you could say he's part of the industry, so I brought him along to take a look."

"That's fine, you can sit here, I'll go and get ready."

"Okay~"

After a brief exchange, Master Yuan prepared to leave.

Lin Fan stroked his chin, pondering, "Half an insider? How can I be considered half? So, we cultivators are also considered half martial artists?"

The two of them didn't really fit in. Zhou Na just introduced a few of the elders who came to Lin Fan, and then the two of them squatted in a corner of the courtyard without any regard for their image, waiting for the challenge to begin.

"Actually, the martial arts atmosphere is quite strong in places like Wudang Mountain."

"Oh? Hasn't it already been developed for tourism?"

"Tourists visit scenic spots, but the Daoist temples and such still exist. Moreover, Wudang accepts public challenges, but there are only a few people going there in a year. Can you guess why?"

"They must have real skills."

"Yes, they are truly skilled, the best among their peers. They are responsible for being the 'guardians of the mountain,' and they fight anyone who challenges them. They have never lost in more than ten years."

"Is that so? I saw a video saying that when a Wudang Daoist priest was young, someone came to challenge him. The person deliberately chose to attack him while he was sleeping. As a result, the priest got angry when he woke up, beat the person until he vomited blood, and chased him for several miles. In the end, he had to take a bus back?"

"That's true. He was the 'guardian of the mountain' of that generation. Of course, that sounds a bit far-fetched, but to put it simply, he was the most skilled martial artist of that generation..."

"It's quite interesting..."

During our casual conversation, the surroundings became noisy.

"They're here!"

Zhou Na stood up, and Lin Fan also looked up.

The person has arrived.

The leader wasn't very tall, about 1.78 meters, but he was all muscle and looked very strong, making him a formidable opponent.

"That's him! This guy's been getting so much buzz lately, what's his name again?"

Lin Fan picked up the conversation. "Ma Dong."

"Yes, Ma Dong, they're up to no good."

Behind Ma Dong were two or three other men, all of whom were physically strong, presumably to prevent any accident from happening to one of them.

"You're here?"

Master Yuan came out of the house, and the two sides stood facing each other in the courtyard.

"Are you tired from climbing? Would you like to take a break?"

"No need." Ma Dong grinned, a hint of disdain in his expression. Without even glancing at the people around him, he said directly, "Shall we begin, Master Yuan?"

"Please..."

Master Yuan didn't waste any words. This guy came to challenge him and was so arrogant. What was there to say?

"Then I'll have to offend you!"

Whoosh!

Ma Dong instantly got into position, lunged forward, and slammed his fists down hard.
