Fighting

Liu Yuanzhou turned his head to look and immediately noticed a man of eighteen or nineteen years old. He was tall and sturdy, with bulging muscles on his chest and arms. His black jacket was almost bursting at the seams. However, his face appeared somewhat effeminate, with phoenix eyes, slender eyebrows, and a small mouth, creating a stark contrast with his large, muscular body. Clearly, he was the one who had spoken just now.

"Hmph, who do we have here? If it isn't Young Escort Chief Gao. What brings your precious self to a place like this?" Liu Yuanzhi sneered, mocking him.

"I'm just a crude martial artist, how can I compare to your esteemed Xiucai? Tsk tsk, look at your thin arms and legs, a gust of wind could blow you away," Gao Fei deliberately sized up Liu Yuanzhi, clicking his tongue in mock pity.

"Hehe, are you aware that there's a beast called a bear, well-developed limbs, but simple-minded," Liu Yuanzhi retorted, implying that the other party was a bear.

"Hmph, weakling," Gao Fei simply snorted.

Liu Yuanzhi was about to retort when Uncle Ma spoke up, "Alright, both of you shut up. If you want to argue, go somewhere else, don't delay my business."

Seeing Uncle Ma's unpleasant expression, Gao and Liu both turned their faces away and stopped talking.

Seeing the potential conflict subside, Liu Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly afraid of a fight breaking out. With his cousin's build, he would definitely suffer a loss. Looking at Gao Fei's physique, it was clear that he practiced martial arts, and Liu Yuanzhi wasn't confident he could beat him.

"Brother, let's go. You still have to take me shopping," Liu Yuanzhou tugged at Liu Yuanzhi's clothes and said softly.

Liu Yuanzhi nodded and followed Liu Yuanzhou towards the outside, not even glancing at Gao Fei as he passed.

"What a coward," Gao Fei suddenly said.

Liu Yuanzhi stopped and turned around angrily, "Your mouth must be full of dung, it stinks!"

"Pretty boy, just a pretty boy, a coward," Gao Fei's lips curled up in a contemptuous smile.

"You, you, I'm going to fight you," the words 'pretty boy' seemed to have stepped on Liu Yuanzhi's tail, and he rolled up his sleeves, charging towards Gao Fei.

Liu Yuanzhou quickly hugged his cousin's waist, feeling a burst of bitterness in his heart. Your strength isn't fighting, you're just asking for humiliation by going up there, aren't you?

"Yo, you want to fight, haha, come on, come up and fight. I'll just use one hand, if I move the other hand, I'm your grandson," Gao Fei beckoned with his finger, laughing loudly. He had successfully provoked Liu Yuanzhi and was secretly delighted, waiting for the other party to rush up so he could humiliate him.

Stimulated by this, Liu Yuanzhi could no longer maintain his rationality. Although he focused on studying the classics, he was, after all, only seventeen or eighteen years old, in the prime of his youthful vigor.

At this time, the surrounding diners, seeing that a fight was about to break out, quickly scattered, clearing a space, and began to jeer.

Liu Yuanzhi was being held around the waist, unable to break free, and was hopping mad.

Gao Fei stared at Liu Yuanzhou, his face unfriendly, and squinted his eyes, saying, "Where did you come from, what's it to you?"

Although Liu Yuanzhou hated Gao Fei in his heart, he put on a smiling face, "What kind of hero bullies a scholar? If you have the ability, spar with me." He glanced at his cousin and continued, "As his cousin, I'm standing up for him, is there a problem?"

Liu Yuanzhi quickly said, "Second Child, I'm not fighting, let's go, don't bother with this kind of person." He knew Gao Fei inside and out, knew that he had real skills, and was afraid that his cousin would suffer.

"Okay, then let's spar," Gao Fei quickly agreed, afraid that Liu Yuanzhou would go back on his word. It was not easy to have a chance to humiliate Liu Yuanzhi, and although he couldn't beat up the person himself, it was exciting to injure his brother.

Liu Yuanzhou released Liu Yuanzhi, revealing a confident smile, and said, "Brother, don't worry, I know my limits."

Liu Yuanzhi anxiously said, "Second Child, you don't know, Gao Fei's family runs an escort agency, and he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he's really powerful."

Liu Yuanzhou pulled him behind him, waved his hand, stepped into the arena, and stopped five steps away from Gao Fei.

Liu Yuanzhi stamped his feet, walked through the crowd to Uncle Ma, hoping that Uncle Ma would come forward to stop the fight.

Uncle Ma shook his head, indicating to wait and see.

Liu Yuanzhou and Gao Fei didn't speak, standing still and looking into each other's eyes.

At this moment, Gao Fei also felt that the kid in front of him was not easy to deal with, so he put away his contemptuous thoughts.

Suddenly, the two of them moved almost simultaneously, both throwing punches at each other's chest.

With a "Peng" sound, the two fists collided, then quickly separated, each retreating two steps, maintaining their previous standoff.

After this probing, Liu Yuanzhou knew Gao Fei's measure; his strength was about the same as his, but his speed was much slower.

Gao Fei became cautious. He didn't have Liu Yuanzhou's insight, but he knew that the other's strength was no less than his own, so he mustered all his focus.

"Ah!" Gao Fei shouted, taking the initiative to attack, stepping forward and throwing a right hook at Liu Yuanzhou's head.

Liu Yuanzhou lowered his body and returned a hook, aiming for Gao Fei's waist.

Gao Fei blocked with his left hand, his right hand changing from a fist to a palm blade, chopping at the back of Liu Yuanzhou's neck.

Liu Yuanzhou blocked with his right hand. Peng, the four arms intersected, and the two men retreated two steps each, facing off again.

"Ah!" Gao Fei shouted again, this time attacking with both fists, striking directly at Liu Yuanzhou's face. This move had a name, called Ox King Horn Thrust, a technique from the Ox King Fist that Gao Fei had practiced diligently. Clearly, he was forced to use his trump card.

Liu Yuanzhou didn't dare to underestimate him, using the Plum Blossom Fist, a Plum Blossom Fall to defuse the attack, then changing to the Plum Blossom Flight, aiming for Gao Fei's eyes.

Gao Fei changed his move to Ox King Trampling Hoof, leaning back, bending his knee and thrusting it towards Liu Yuanzhou's lower body.

The Ox King Fist was powerful and heavy, while the Plum Blossom Fist was light and tricky. The two exchanged seven or eight moves, neither gaining the upper hand.

By the tenth move, Liu Yuanzhou clearly felt Gao Fei's attack speed slowing down. He seized the opportunity, flipped to Gao Fei's back, and raised his leg in a side kick. Gao Fei didn't react in time, taking the hit in the buttocks, staggering two steps and falling to the ground.

The Ox King Fist followed a path of brute force, consuming a lot of energy. By the end, Gao Fei was somewhat exhausted, relying entirely on a burst of energy to keep going. Being knocked to the ground by Liu Yuanzhi, that energy dissipated, and he lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up.

Liu Yuanzhou was also extremely exhausted at this moment, panting heavily, with waves of pain coming from his arms and fists.

"Good!" The crowd watching the excitement roared with applause, it was truly a wonderful performance.

"Good!" Liu Yuanzhi jumped up excitedly, he was the happiest of them all.

"Ah~" Two women stood on the edge of the crowd at some point, one of them with bright eyes and white teeth exclaimed when she saw Gao Fei being knocked down.

Only then did Liu Yuanzhi notice the two women, a flash of surprise crossed his face, his eyes shining with excitement. He strode over and said with a smile, "Jing Jing, why are you here?"

The woman who exclaimed, Jing Jing, gave him a reproachful look, quickly walked to Gao Fei, squatted down, and stroked his shoulder, asking, "Oh, are you alright?"

Liu Yuanzhi was unhappy and looked at Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma frowned and shouted, "Jing Jing, come here, what's a girl like you doing!"

Jing Jing looked at Uncle Ma and coquettishly said, "Dad~"

Uncle Ma's face was tense, obviously, coquetry was useless. Jing Jing pouted, reluctantly stood up, lowered her head, and walked to Uncle Ma.

At this time, Gao Fei was ashamed and angry to death. He got up, squeezed out of the crowd, and ran away, without even leaving a polite word.

Liu Yuanzhi pulled Liu Yuanzhou to Jing Jing's side, showing off, "Jing Jing, this is my cousin Liu Yuanzhou, what do you think, is his Kung Fu amazing?"

Jing Jing glanced at the two of them, snorted coldly, and turned her head away, obviously unhappy. She beckoned to the woman who had been with her, and the woman walked over gracefully.

The woman's steps were elegant, her face serene, like a lotus flower untouched by dust. Liu Yuanzhou was stunned.

The woman smiled at Liu Yuanzhou, and Liu Yuanzhou woke up, but didn't dare to stare any longer, blushing and lowering his head.

"Dad, she's my best sister in the Embroidery Club, her name is He Ye." Jing Jing introduced her friend to her father.

The Embroidery Club was a group organized by Jing Jing and several of her sisters, specializing in embroidery. It was quite famous among the women of Yan Province City, and many women joined out of admiration. Now it had grown to more than twenty people.

He Ye gave Uncle Ma a Wanfu greeting, and Uncle Ma hurriedly returned the courtesy, saying a few polite words.

"Hello He Ye, my name is Liu Yuanzhi, you must have heard Jing Jing mention me." Liu Yuanzhi leaned forward, smiling familiarly as he greeted her.

He Ye was stunned for a moment, and finally said with a serious expression: "Well, I haven't heard her mention you. I've only heard of Gao Fei's name."

Liu Yuanzhi petrified, his face full of shame, feeling like he had no reason to live.

Liu Yuanzhou was stunned, He Ye was really straightforward.

With a puchi sound, Jing Jing couldn't help but laugh, taking her friend's hand and saying to Liu Yuanzhi and the others, "We're leaving, the Embroidery Club has activities this afternoon."

Watching the backs of the two women as they walked away, Liu Yuanzhi looked dejected.

After saying goodbye to Uncle Ma, the two strolled leisurely.

"You must like Jing Jing," Liu Yuanzhi said suddenly.

"Alas, I'm just afraid that the falling flowers are intentional, but the flowing water is heartless." Liu Yuanzhi looked sad.

Gao Fei quickly walked into the gate of the Adverse Wind Escort Agency and came to a training ground.

At this time, in the training ground, under a large willow tree, seven or eight fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys were lying shirtless in the shade, taking a nap.

"Xiao Peng, come here for a moment." Gao Fei shouted to one of them.

The seven or eight people were awakened and sat up one after another to greet Gao Fei. The one called Xiao Peng was a short, thin boy. He quickly got up and ran to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei turned and left the training ground, coming to a room, and Xiao Peng followed him in.

"Xiao Peng, help me find out about a person, Liu Yuanzhi's cousin, I think his name is Liu Yuanzhou." Gao Fei instructed Xiao Peng in a deep voice.

Xiao Peng naturally knew Liu Yuanzhi and was also clear about the grievances between the two. He nodded and couldn't help but ask, "Did that kid offend you, bro?"

Gao Fei waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go find out quickly, don't talk so much nonsense."

Xiao Peng stopped talking and turned to leave.

Kid, if I don't avenge this, I swear I won't be a human. Gao Fei thought hatefully in his heart, clenching his fists unconsciously. When had Gao Fei ever suffered such a loss? Thinking of his embarrassed appearance being witnessed by the person he liked, his heart ached.
