When he arrived at the gymnasium and followed the instructions on the ticket to the door of the box, Zheng Yubai realized how generous Yang Feiyun was to him. There were a total of eighty boxes on the top floor of the gymnasium, twenty of which were luxurious, and Yang Feiyun actually made room for him.
Nowadays, ordinary seat tickets sold online cost three to five hundred yuan, and such a luxurious box would cost at least ten to twenty thousand yuan.
The usher enthusiastically opened the door of the box and invited Zheng Yubai and others in. As soon as Zheng Jingzhe entered, he said, "Yubai, your friend is very nice to you. Who is he?"
Zheng Yubai scratched his head: "His name is Yang Feiyun, the grandson of Tai Chi master Yang Huting."
"Uncle Hu Ting's grandson?" Zheng Jingzhe and Zheng Shuangjiang looked at each other, "Isn't that Tianrui's son?"
"Well, it should be." Zheng Yubai said. He remembered that Yang Feiyan told him that it was after the car accident that caused Yang Tianrui's death that Yang Feiyun and Yang Feiyan, brother and sister, both gained super powers.
A strange smile flashed across Zheng Jingzhe's face, and he pulled Zheng Shuangjiang aside. The two of them whispered to each other while secretly glancing at Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai was confused by their gaze and was about to ask them what they were up to when someone knocked on the door.
As soon as the door opened, Xu Jin and Yu Luo looked in nervously. Zheng Yubai hurried over to lead them in and said to his family, "Ahem, Dad, aunt and uncle, these are my friends. This is Xu Jin, and this is Yu Luo."
Zheng Jingzhe and the other two looked over and were stunned when they saw Xu Jin and Yu Luo. To be fair, Tang Qing was a beauty and had many admirers in school. If she hadn't been so pretty, Fang Hongjin wouldn't have chosen her. But compared to Xu Jin, Tang Qing was at a disadvantage. No wonder she looked at Xu Jin sourly and felt a little aggrieved.
"Your friend?" Zheng Jingzhe asked puzzledly.
"This is my father..." Zheng Yubai hurriedly introduced him to Xu Jin and Yu Luo.
Xu Jin came forward and said to Zheng Jingzhe respectfully, "Hello, uncle, aunt, uncle, and cousin." She was wearing that short white down jacket, which made her look very bright. Yu Luo also came forward to greet them, looking like a beautiful and innocent little girl. The two girls had their own strengths, which made the three elders amazed and wondered about their relationship with Zheng Yubai.
"Qing'er, go and chat with them. You girls must have a lot of common topics." Zheng Yubai didn't realize that his cousin had a prejudice against the two new beauties, and he still foolishly hoped that they could become good friends.
Tang Qing naturally couldn't show her displeasure, so she could only agree and chat with Xu Jin and Yu Luo. The two girls knew that Zheng Yubai loved this cousin very much, so of course they showed a particularly close attitude. While the three of them were chatting, Zheng Jingzhe had already pulled Zheng Yubai over and asked in a low voice, "Boy, is my future daughter-in-law among them?"
Zheng Yubai scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "Dad, what are you talking about? We are just ordinary friends."
"Are you really just ordinary friends? These two girls are both good looking. You are more capable than your dad." Zheng Jingzhe exclaimed in admiration.
Zheng Shuangjiang glanced at her brother and couldn't help but said out of curiosity: "Yubai, I think that tall Miss Xu is pretty good. She seems very generous and pretty..."
"Well, aunt... we are really just ordinary friends." Zheng Yubai said hurriedly, fearing that they would say something outrageous and be heard by Xu Jin, which would be embarrassing.
How could he know that Xu Jin seemed to be chatting with Tang Qing, but her mind was all here. She pricked up her ears and vaguely heard the words of several elders, and she was so happy. Xu Jin had analyzed Zheng Yubai's character a long time ago and guessed that he must be a filial child. If the elders had a good impression of him, why would they be afraid that this wooden-headed man would not take the bait? Thinking of this, Xu Jin was overjoyed and felt that the future was bright.
Zheng Jingzhe was about to pull his son to ask, when the door rang again. This time it was Susu and Yang Feiyan who came in. The two little girls were very close recently, going shopping together every day, getting along like real sisters. They just went shopping on the street and bought some beautiful clothes, and dressed up beautifully to cheer for Zheng Yubai.
Seeing two more beautiful girls coming in, Zheng Jingzhe's eyes widened and he whispered to Zheng Shuangjiang, "How does this boy know so many beautiful girls?"
Zheng Shuangjiang was also a little dumbfounded: "I only heard that he works the night shift every day, but I didn't hear that he has so many good friends."
"Dad, aunt, this is Yang Feiyan." Zheng Yubai introduced Susu and Yang Feiyan to the elders, and specifically mentioned Yang Feiyan's name.
"Are you Tianrui's daughter? You look exactly like your mother!" Zheng Jingzhe was very surprised to see the daughter of an old friend.
"Do you know my mother?" Yang Feiyan asked curiously.
"Of course." Zheng Jingzhe smiled, "After the game is over, I will go to pay a visit to your grandfather. The old man and I haven't seen each other for more than ten years. I miss him very much."
Yang Feiyan didn't know the story between her parents. She sniffed and glanced at Zheng Yubai. Seeing that he was smiling, she didn't ask any more questions.
Several girls gathered together to chat again, and the chatter was very lively. Zheng Jingzhe nudged Zheng Shuangjiang: "How is it?"
Zheng Shuangjiang narrowed his eyes: "Not bad, very good."
"Then what do you think..." Zheng Jingzhe asked with a questioning expression.
"Let's see the old man and ask him what he thinks." Zheng Shuang lowered his voice, "Although Tianrui is gone, the old man also knows about this."
"Bang bang" the door was knocked three times.
Several elders immediately looked at Zheng Yubai with "despair", lamenting in their hearts that this child looked so honest, could it be that he had any beautiful friends
As soon as the door opened, there was indeed another beauty, the pretty Ding Beibei, standing at the door. She was shocked when she saw so many people in the box.
"Come in and let me introduce you." Zheng Yubai hurriedly let her in.
When the little beauty heard that Zheng Yubai's father and aunt were there, she immediately went over to greet them like a lady, and asked about their health, which was very considerate. Zheng Jingzhe and Zheng Shuangjiang looked at the five beauties in confusion, and they were getting more and more confused about Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai knew something was wrong, so he made an excuse that the competition was about to begin and he had to make preparations. He asked Xu Jin to take care of the situation, and he ran away.
As soon as Zheng Yubai left, several girls, each with their own thoughts in their hearts, immediately gathered around Zheng Jingzhe and Zheng Shuangjiang, calling them "Uncle, Aunt" non-stop, with honey on their lips, coaxing the elders into a daze.
"Um...how did you get to know Yu Bai?" Zheng Jingzhe was coaxed into a daze by the beautiful girls, but Zheng Shuangjiang still had some resistance and finally asked his doubts.
Xu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of which, there is a very interesting story."
"That's right." Yu Luo echoed.
Several girls rushed to tell how they met Zheng Yubai, of course they lied a lot, such as Xu Jin's gambling boat design, Su Su's stripping to seduce, etc. But the little girls were very naughty, their words were ambiguous, praising and defending Zheng Yubai everywhere, although there were many mistakes when listening carefully, but they also made several elders laugh, and then they knew how popular Zheng Yubai was among the girls.
Zheng Yubai came to his locker room. Just as he was about to enter, a tall man walked over from a distance, followed by several followers. He said loudly, "You must be Zheng Yubai."
Zheng Yubai looked up and saw that the person who came was his opponent in the quarterfinals, the most popular contestant Feng Bahan. In the last match, Feng Bahan defeated the brave boxer Thomas, which boosted the morale of the Chinese people. His support rate has been rising steadily, far surpassing other contestants. It is said that his fan club already has 50,000 members, and the number is still increasing every day.
However, in the eyes of insiders, Feng Bahan's victory was somewhat unfair. In terms of real strength, Thomas and Feng Bahan should be on par with each other. Unfortunately, he suffered from the disadvantage of not being able to attack with his legs and was not well prepared, which led to him being defeated by Feng Bahan.
In the pre-match comments, Yang Huting and Luo Hengyang, two of the three judges, both believed that Zheng Yubai would win, and only Sun Yunqing believed that Feng Bahan would successfully enter the semi-finals. For this reason, Feng Bahan's followers attacked the two masters Yang and Luo on the Internet, thinking that they were blind, causing quite a stir. Zheng Yubai usually didn't go online, so of course he didn't know about this, but he also avoided seeing countless slanderous and humiliating texts on the Internet.
I don’t know if it’s because the growth of the fan club has brought Feng Bahan great confidence, or if he really thinks that he is stronger than Zheng Yubai. Now he walks over arrogantly with a disdainful look in his eyes. His attitude is completely condescending.
Seeing him like this, Zheng Yubai couldn't help but wonder why all the guys participating in this martial arts conference are so arrogant. Don't they understand that there are always people who are better than you? He also watched the match where Feng Bahan defeated Thomas. If he were to evaluate him privately, he would say that this guy is probably not as good as Chen Chuan. Even if he has the title of runner-up in the National Martial Arts Competition, everyone in the martial arts world knows that the competition is about who performs better, and it has no actual combat value at all.
"I'm Zheng Yubai." Although he completely despised Feng Bahan in his heart, Zheng Yubai was polite and did not show such emotion.
Feng Bahan stood in front of Zheng Yubai. He was taller than Zheng Yubai, with his upper body naked, wearing only shorts, revealing his muscular body. As soon as he stopped, several followers behind him came over and pinched his body. Zheng Yubai was stunned when he saw this strange scene.
"Is this guy here to participate in the competition or to perform tricks..." Zheng Yubai thought to himself.
"Are you my opponent?" Feng Bahan narrowed his eyes, full of suspicion as if he was looking at a cheap item on sale.
"Well, it should be me." Zheng Yubai pointed to the battle schedule posted on the door, "If the game goes well, you and I will see each other on the stage in an hour."
Feng Bahan looked at Zheng Yubai with disdain and said slowly: "Actually, I'm here to remind you that I'm very powerful. If you're scared, you can ask the conference to abstain."
"I don't think it's necessary." Now that his father and aunt are no longer opposed, Zheng Yubai really wants to test his own strength through this martial arts conference, especially to fight with the Xingyiquan genius Sun Haitong in the final.
"You don't want to drink a toast?" Feng Bahan frowned, "Do you know that Thomas, who fought with me in the last round, is still lying in the hospital and can't take care of himself?"
Zheng Yubai shook his head: "I don't know..."
Feng Bahan said angrily: "I am doing this for your own good. If you are sensible and give up your rights or resistance early, maybe I can spare you."
After he finished speaking, several followers beside him also boasted about Feng Bahan's martial arts, saying that he was an invincible master. Zheng Yubai wanted to laugh, but he could only hold it in. After they finished bragging, he said, "I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of running away from the battlefield."
Feng Bahan rolled his eyes and whispered, "In fact, the prize money for the champion of the competition is not that much. Even if you beat me, you can't deal with Huang Shiyu and Sun Haitong. Why don't I give you 100,000 and you just give up."
"Are you trying to bribe me?" Zheng Yubai understood the meaning of his words.
"Of course not, we just want to make friends." Feng Bahan laughed.
"I will not give up the game. If you have the ability, just knock me down in the ring." Zheng Yubai said seriously. He would not play such tricks with others. No one could tell that Feng Bahan, who looked handsome and extraordinary, was a villain who played unspoken rules.
"You..." Feng Bahan blew his beard and glared at me, saying viciously, "If you dare to reject me, you will regret it."
"All is up to you." Zheng Yubai ignored him, opened the door of his dressing room, walked in and slammed it shut. Feng Bahan's angry shouts and his followers' threats came from outside the door, but Zheng Yubai didn't take them seriously at all. He was confident in his own strength. A waste like Feng Bahan couldn't even survive a round under his hands.
After cursing outside Zheng Yubai's door, Feng Bahan walked angrily to his dressing room. Just after taking a few steps, he saw several pretty girls walking over, chatting and laughing. They were Xu Jin, Yu Luo, Ding Beibei, Su Su, Yang Feiyan and Tang Qing. They were carrying the mineral water they had just bought for Zheng Yubai and were about to deliver it to him. They happened to meet Feng Bahan in the corridor.
"What a group of beautiful girls." Feng Bahan's eyes lit up immediately.
"Ahem..." Feng Bahan coughed deliberately. He thought that these girls must be his fan club, and they came here to cheer him up. Feng Bahan always showed concern for his beautiful fans, sometimes even taking care of them in bed. Seeing this group of girls, especially Xu Jin and Ding Beibei in the front, Feng Bahan's lust was aroused, and he immediately put on a pose that he thought was the coolest and went over to greet them.
"You guys are here to ask me for an autograph and take a photo with you, right? Hahaha, I'm happy to do that. What's your phone number?" Feng Bahan said enthusiastically.
Several beauties looked at his lustful look and thought to themselves: Who is this guy? He is so annoying.
They turned sideways and walked past Feng Bahan with a wary look on their faces. Xu Jin even said, "I'm sorry, we don't know you."
"Don't you know me?" Feng Bahan was almost going crazy. He was the most popular person known as the Jade-faced Little Flying Dragon. Don't these beauties like him
Seeing several beauties walking around him, they walked to the door of Zheng Yubai's dressing room and knocked on it. The door opened and the beauties rushed in. Feng Bahan's eyes were wide open. He walked to Zheng Yubai's door in anger and heard the sound of women talking inside.
"How could this be!" Feng Bahan was going crazy, "I must kill this guy." Zheng Yubai innocently became a thorn in Feng Bahan's eyes. He swore to beat Zheng Yubai so that he would be unable to take care of himself for the rest of his life, and then take all his beauties.
As usual, there was a song and dance performance before the game. After the noise died down, the cleaning staff cleaned the ring. After a while, the lights in the gymnasium gradually went out, leaving only a searchlight shining on the ring. With the host's exciting tone, the first match of the quarterfinals of the martial arts competition, Zheng Yubai vs. Feng Bahan, was about to begin.
First, the players from both teams came out. According to the sequence, Zheng Yubai was naturally the first to come out. As the player from the red team, Zheng Yubai walked out of the red team's channel. The light beam hit him, revealing his figure.
Many spectators who had watched the previous match cheered and shouted. As the rounds went on, more and more people fell in love with this young man who was not ostentatious but had extraordinary strength. They shouted Zheng Yubai's name rhythmically, making the gymnasium lively all of a sudden.
Zheng Yubai listened to the cheers of the audience and couldn't believe his ears. He didn't know that he already had an online fan club. Although the number of people was dozens of times less than Feng Bahan's, they were all people who really understood martial arts. In comparison, Feng Bahan's fan club was no different from that of idol stars, and it was completely fanatical only based on appearance. Zheng Yubai's fan club was much more professional.
Listening to the thunderous applause and cheers, Zheng Yubai waved his hands shyly, and even kicked and punched a few times, showing off his kung fu.
The beauties in the box laughed, and Yu Luo pointed at Zheng Yubai and said, "Brother Yubai is very active today."
Zheng Jingzhe looked at the cheering crowd in the stadium and couldn't help but sigh: "I remember what happened more than ten years ago. At that time, when a robber was caught, people also applauded and cheered on both sides of the street."
Zheng Shuangjiang said with a smile: "A good man never brags about his past achievements, but you are showing off your past deeds."
When Zheng Yubai stepped onto the stage, Feng Bahan of the blue team also came out. As soon as he came out, the whole audience cheered enthusiastically. As the most popular player, Feng Bahan performed a beautiful roundhouse kick, winning the crazy cheers of countless boys and girls. In order to get closer to their idol, a dozen girls even wanted to rush through the human wall formed by the security guards.
Seeing the lively atmosphere, Feng Bahan couldn't help but feel proud. He knew that the beauties who went to visit Zheng Yubai must also be looking at him. He didn't believe that there would be no women who didn't like such a handsome guy like him.
Xu Jin in the box looked at Feng Bahan's arrogant look, and suddenly laughed and said, "Is there anyone who wants to bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?" The girls gathered around curiously.
"I bet Yubai can beat him in a few rounds." Xu Jin said confidently.
"One round!" Yang Feiyan said with a smile, "I bet two boxes of Haagen-Dazs rum ice cream."
"I guess... I guess it's five rounds." Su Su didn't know much about Zheng Yubai's martial arts, so she was more conservative.
Several girls were giggling and placing bets. Zheng Jingzhe asked Zheng Shuangjiang, "This Feng Bahan is the runner-up in the national martial arts competition. He should be pretty good, right?"
Zheng Shuangjiang chuckled: "The silver spear is just a wax head, it looks good but is useless. If Yu Bai can't defeat him in three rounds, let him come back and kneel on the washboard."
Yang Huting, Luo Hengyang and Zheng Shuangjiang on the judges' panel felt the same way. They knew Feng Bahan's strength very well. Zheng Yubai's previous combat ability was definitely not comparable to Feng Bahan's. Unfortunately, the audience was confused by Feng Bahan's title and performance, thinking that he was the most likely to be the champion of the martial arts conference. The two masters were too lazy to explain. After all, the competition was about to begin, and the result would speak for itself.
Sun Yunqing leaned back in his chair and watched the situation on the field. He knew Feng Bahan's strength, but he didn't want to admit Zheng Yubai's strength. Because he knew Zheng Yubai's background better than Luo Hengyang. Since Zheng Yubai made a name for himself in the martial arts conference, he sent people to check Zheng Yubai's background. The result was as he expected. Zheng Yubai was the son of that old friend.
In the Xingyiquan sect, only that person could compete with Sun Yunqing, who was a disciple of a famous master, but that person was a farmer who had trained in a wild way. The two had several competitions, all of which ended in Sun Yunqing's defeat. Those experiences are still regarded as shame by him. Fortunately, he later used a trick to drive that person out of Jinghai. But he didn't expect that more than ten years later, that person's son actually appeared in the martial arts conference and made it to the top eight.
"This guy is a bit like him. If we meet in the finals, is Haitong sure to beat him?" Sun Yunqing looked at Zheng Yubai on the field and calculated silently. In his opinion, as long as Feng Bahan can survive ten moves, it proves that Zheng Yubai's strength is not as good as Sun Haitong. Otherwise, Sun Haitong will be in great danger.
The people off the stage had all kinds of thoughts in their minds, and Feng Bahan and Zheng Yubai on the stage also had different thoughts. After the host announced the rules of the game and the referee checked the equipment of the two, Feng Bahan suddenly signaled to the host under the stage to use his microphone.
The host hurriedly handed the microphone over, and Feng Bahan took it. The lights shone on him, and he looked extremely excited. He pointed at Zheng Yubai, stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said loudly: "One minute, I can beat him in just one minute!"
This pre-war provocative declaration immediately won a frenzied response from Feng Bahan's fans, who shouted their idol's name with such force that their voices almost blew off the ceiling of the stadium.
Zheng Yubai helplessly watched Feng Bahan's monkey-like behavior and despite the host's expectant gaze, he did not respond to the provocation as he wished.
"Ratings!" The staff responsible for monitoring the ratings were so excited that they couldn't close their mouths at the soaring ratings. Regardless of Feng Bahan's strength, his arrogant provocation alone immediately increased the ratings by five points. The broadcast of the martial arts conference was broadcast throughout Asia via satellite. Will this focus battle end within a minute
As the referee's hand fell, the game began. Feng Bahan chose a quick attack. He rushed to Zheng Yubai like a whirlwind, and with the cheers of the audience, he kicked straight at Zheng Yubai's heart.
Zheng Jingzhe in the box couldn't help but cover his eyes... (To be continued)
