"Are you so sure of my identity? It would be very embarrassing if you recognized the wrong person." The middle-aged man looked at the hand that Zheng Yubai extended, but did not shake it. Instead, he asked with a sharp tone.
Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "Actually, I really want to give dozens of reasons to prove that you are Xu Ruoyu, but when I see Xu Jin's hand, those reasons are no longer necessary."
Xu Jin, who was standing behind his father, was stunned. He immediately removed his hand from Xu Ruoyu's shoulder and glared at Zheng Yubai with dissatisfaction.
In the past few days, Zheng Yubai and Xu Jin have been filled with an atmosphere of more than friends but less than lovers. Even Zheng Yubai feels that the ambiguous atmosphere is too strong. The unpleasant scene at the God of Gamblers competition has been revealed. After the grudges are eliminated, both parties are in an inexplicable mood. Unfortunately, they are both rookies in love and dare not take the crucial step. This is why they drag their feet, which makes Yu Luo, who is watching the fun, angry and shouts that he is unhappy.
Although Zheng Yubai's performance in dealing with women is always in a failing state, he understands Xu Jin's feelings. A natural intuition tells him that Xu Jin will not be very intimate with other men in front of him unless that man is her father.
Of course, this feeling cannot be used as an excuse to speak out, otherwise Xu Jin will definitely scold him as a "cocky fart". However, his answer has satisfied the middle-aged man.
"You're pretty good. No wonder Du Bisheng accepted you as his apprentice. I'm Xu Ruoyu."
"Well... I'm not the old gambler's apprentice, I just learned a few gambling tricks from him." Zheng Yubai hurriedly explained. He was a disciple of Xingyiquan, and it was absolutely unacceptable to recognize a random master. If his father misunderstood that he was randomly apprenticing, he would probably be chopped into pieces.
Xu Ruoyu nodded: "I heard from Jin'er that you have martial arts skills. It seems that you have a master according to seniority. You really can't just recognize a master casually. Nowadays, there are not many young people who follow the rules. You are very good."
In just a few words, Xu Ruoyu had praised Zheng Yubai twice, saying "not bad". Xu Jin's face lit up when he heard it, and he looked at Zheng Yubai with a sweet smile and said, "Yubai, I asked my father to come here to help you deal with Gao Fei."
Zheng Yubai had already heard what Xu Jin said, so he was not surprised. He bowed deeply to Xu Ruoyu and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Uncle Xu."
However, Xu Ruoyu said to his surprise: "Wait a minute, I have to test your skills." As soon as he finished speaking, his hand stretched out like a snake, with five fingers spread out, grabbing Zheng Yubai's face.
The purpose of practicing boxing is to sense the feelings, which is what Xingyiquan master Shang Yunxiang once said to his disciples. Although Zheng Yubai did not reach the level of Shang Yunxiang, who could sense the feelings when someone looked at him while he was sleeping, because of his years of martial arts training, his body would naturally resist when he was suddenly attacked.
As soon as Xu Ruoyu's hand moved, Zheng Yubai's hand also moved. He knew that Xu Ruoyu was testing him, so he did not use any boxing techniques, but only used a crane-shaped trick to block. Who would have thought that the moment Xu Ruoyu's hand touched Zheng Yubai's body, his wrist shook, and his palm unexpectedly turned over, went under Zheng Yubai's arm, and touched his chest.
Zheng Yubai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He took three steps back and looked at Xu Ruoyu's soft, boneless palm in surprise.
Xu Ruoyu said coldly: "You react quickly, but you lack the ability to adapt. With your current ability, you will die if you deal with Gao Fei. If you want to survive, you should learn from me for the next three months."
Zheng Yubai knew that Xu Ruoyu's kung fu was already superb. If he guessed correctly, the skill he just showed should be the "bone shrinking method" passed down in the martial arts world. After practicing this bone shrinking method to a high level, a 1.8-meter-tall man can curl up and get into a small suitcase, and all kinds of bone joints in the body can open and close, making movements that ordinary people can't imagine. It is said that the early thief Yanzi Li San was a top master of the bone shrinking method. He flew over eaves and walls, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and made a great name for himself.
"Thank you Uncle Xu for your guidance." Zheng Yubai clasped his fists and bowed deeply.
Although he praised Zheng Yubai a few times, Xu Ruoyu still couldn't smile. He turned around and said to Xu Jin: "I'm a little tired and want to rest."
After Xu Jin accompanied Xu Ruoyu back to the room, Yu Luo smiled and said to Zheng Yubai: "Brother Yubai, how do you feel about meeting your father-in-law?"
"What nonsense..." Zheng Yubai had no way to deal with this lawless girl.
"Sister said a lot of good things to make uncle agree to teach you." Yu Luo said, "You must not forget sister's kindness."
Zheng Yubai thought to herself that all the troubles she had caused were because of Xu Jin, so she was just trying to make up for the loss. However, Xu Ruoyu seemed a little lonely and couldn't even smile. Logically, she was dealing with his archenemy Gao Fei, so he should have been smiling and teaching him wholeheartedly. But now he acted as if she owed him something. I really don't know what this thief was thinking.
After settling Xu Ruoyu, Xu Jin returned to the living room and said to Zheng Yubai apologetically, "Dad just got off the plane and is a little tired. He is always cold and icy, so please don't mind."
Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "Old people have tempers, I'm used to it." He thought to himself, you don't know my father, that temper is called weird. Compared with him, Xu Ruoyu can be regarded as amiable and amiable like a spring breeze.
"You've been busy all night, you must be tired, go to bed early. By the way, there is breakfast in the kitchen, eat something first." Xu Jin said as he walked towards the kitchen.
"Do you think my sister is a good wife and mother?" Yu Luo leaned close to Zheng Yubai's ear and said mysteriously.
Zheng Yubai chuckled, remembering the first time he met Xu Jin, he was shocked by the tattoo on her arm. Later, his impression was all about her sexy and perfect figure. He almost never thought that Xu Jin had such a gentle side. Now it seems that she is really a woman suitable to marry and live with.
Under Xu Jin's supervision, Zheng Yubai drank a large glass of milk and ate bread and cheese before going back to his room to rest. Zheng Yubai slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. After waking up, he felt full of energy. After a simple wash, he went to the living room on the first floor.
In the living room, Xu Ruoyu was chatting with Xu Jin and Yu Luo. When he saw Zheng Yubai coming downstairs, he said calmly, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Xu Jin hurriedly said, "Dad, I said he was on the night shift."
Xu Ruoyu seemed not to have heard Xu Jin's words. He said to Zheng Yubai, "Follow me." He did not let Xu Jin follow him and went straight back to his room.
Zheng Yubai followed Xu Ruoyu to the door, turned around and looked at Xu Jin, and saw that she was making a reassuring gesture to him. Zheng Yubai smiled lightly, walked into Xu Ruoyu's room, and closed the door.
"I will teach you some tricks to deal with Gao Fei every afternoon, and you have to figure them out by yourself during the night shift. I teach you these skills in order to deal with Gao Fei. If you are not serious, don't blame me when you are about to die in the future." Xu Ruoyu sat on a chair in the room and said straight to the point.
"Please rest assured, Uncle Xu, I will try my best." Zheng Yubai said sincerely. Now Du Bisheng is bedridden, and Xu Ruoyu is a very suitable teacher to deal with Gao Fei. (To be continued)
