Tai Chi?
Yang Shu?
These words shocked Zhang Ye!
Was there anyone else in this world who knew Taiji Fist besides him? From the feedback from the Chinese martial arts world, Zhang Ye and the entire Chinese martial arts world had always thought that Taiji Fist had been lost for over a hundred years! It was impossible for a successor of Taiji Fist to show up. That was why when Zhang Ye demonstrated his Taiji Fist at the National Martial Arts Conference, everyone looked like they had seen a ghost. They were all scared out of their wits and no one dared to believe it!
Now there was another one?
Another one who knows Taiji Fist?
And a young woman at that?
And his surname is Yang?
This surname also made Zhang Ye's heart skip a beat. He knew that in his previous world, Taiji Fist originated from the Chen-style Taiji Fist, while the Yang-style Taiji Fist was inextricably linked to the Chen-style Taiji Fist. Their Zhang family's Comrade Sanfeng was just a legend or a plot in a movie or television series. He was a real person, but there was no actual evidence to prove that Taiji Fist had anything to do with Old Comrade Sanfeng. Coincidentally, it might have been a coincidence, but the Grandmaster of Taiji who had swept through the martial arts world a hundred years ago was also surnamed Yang!
Zhang Ye said in surprise, "You know Taiji?"
"Of course." Yang Shu looked at him.
Zhang Ye quickly asked, "Who is your master?"
Yang Shu bluntly said, "No comment."
Zhang Ye looked at her uncertainly, "Are you lying?"
These days, there were too many scammers.
When Yang Shu heard that, her eyes turned even colder. "You're just a swindler. How dare you say that I'm a swindler?"
"Man, how did I become a charlatan?" Zhang Ye was speechless.
Yang Shu reprimanded, "You lied to everyone in the Chinese martial arts world at the Martial Arts Conference and made them think that you practiced Taiji Fist. How is that not a scammer? How could you possibly know Tai Chi! "
Zhang Ye felt helpless.
You don't know that it's only the people in this world who don't know much about Taiji Fist. If it was in his previous world, any old man or old lady on the street would be able to perform a few moves of the improved version of Taiji Fist for you. Wouldn't that scare you to death?
Zhang Ye could only ask, "Then why did you come looking for me today?"
Yang Shu stroked her ponytail and said loudly, "Zhang Ye, your actions have insulted the reputation of Taiji Fist. I hereby formally issue a challenge to you!"
Zhang Ye was stunned, "Challenge?"
"Do you dare to accept it?" Yang Shu asked.
Zhang Ye threw up his hands. "Why must it be a duel?"
Yang Shu said confidently, "Because I want to expose you!"
Zhang Ye did not know what to say. Actually, he was also very curious about the background of this woman in front of him. Could it be that she really knew Taiji Fist?
Yang Shu continued, "Back when you were filming that movie, I already wanted to look for you. You actually dared to use a few Taiji moves that I heard about in a movie? How dare you call it Taiji Fist? Ridiculous! You're smearing the name of Taiji Fist! "
After thinking for a long time, Zhang Ye said, "Alright, it's not a problem to exchange a few blows, but not here. This is my unit. If we really fight, it won't be good. This small room can't hide the sound. How about this, I'll bring you to a place. There shouldn't be anyone there."
Yang Shu said lightly, "Lead the way."
"Let's go." Zhang Ye opened the door and walked out. "Get in my car."
He did not know if he would be able to make it back to work in the afternoon, so he called Yan Tianfei to report to him and applied for leave in advance. Only then did he drive off in his BMW.
In the car.
Yang Shu looked left and right. "Are you very rich?"
Zhang Ye sighed and said, "I have enough to eat and drink."
Yang Shu nodded and closed her eyes, as though she were conserving her energy.
Zhang Ye glanced at her in the rearview mirror. He had a nagging feeling that this woman was a little rash, as though she did not interact with people often. As a result, Zhang Ye became even more suspicious of her. Not to mention Taiji Fist, Zhang Ye was wondering if this woman even knew kung fu.
Jiaomen East.
At Rao Aimin's house.
This was the place that Zhang Ye had been renting ever since he graduated from university. Counting the days, it had been a long time since he came back. In the past six months since Old Rao left, he had been staying at his parents' place.
They took the elevator and went upstairs.
Yang Shu asked, "Is this your house?"
Zhang Ye said, "Not really. It's a rented house."
Yang Shu nodded and suddenly said, "Do you have anything to eat here?"
"Huh?" Zhang Ye did not react. "Food?"
Yang Shu said, "I got off the train this morning and haven't eaten yet."
Zhang Ye listened carefully and realized that Yang Shu's stomach was really growling. Actually, Zhang Ye was also hungry as he had not eaten lunch yet. "Alright, I'll look around."
When the elevator reached the upper floor, Zhang Ye brought her straight to Old Rao's door.
Bang bang bang.
"Big Sis Rao!"
After a while, the door opened.
"Is there anything to eat, Big Sis Rao?" Zhang Ye asked the moment he entered.
When Rao Aimin saw Zhang Ye at the door, she smacked her lips and said, "Rascal, you must have smelled something and came here, right?"
The aroma of food wafted from inside the house. Clearly, it had just been cooked.
Chenchen also came out. "Zhang Ye, you're here?"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Yo, you don't have class?"
Chenchen nodded. "I don't have class in the afternoon."
Then the two of them realized that there was a woman following behind Zhang Ye.
Rao Aimin raised an eyebrow. "Is she your honey?"
Yang Shu was not a local, so she did not understand.
This is a Beijing slang, and the meaning is almost equivalent to: Your girl?
Zhang Ye hurriedly said, "What is it? Can you get us something to eat first? I'll explain it to you in a bit. It won't be clear in a few sentences." He turned to Yang Shu and said, "Come on in."
Yang Shu did not stand on ceremony. She nodded and walked in.
Zhang Ye casually introduced, "This is my agent."
Yang Shu looked at Rao Aimin and nodded slightly. "Hello." Then she looked around curiously at the two-story duplex and asked Zhang Ye, "Is your agent very rich?"
Zhang Ye: "…"
Why do you keep asking about this?
Why do you look at everyone as rich?
Chenchen asked curiously, "Zhang Ye, who is she?"
Rao Aimin pulled him to the side and left Yang Shu to look around by herself. "Who is she? Why did she bring me here? Does she really think of me as a cook? "
Chenchen also came over.
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. "She says that her name is Yang Shu and that she's the successor of Taiji Fist."
"A disciple of Taiji?" Rao Aimin narrowed her eyes with great interest.
Zhang Ye shrugged. "She insists that I'm an imposter and wants to have a duel with me. I think she just arrived in Beijing today and hasn't had a meal yet, so I brought her here to let her have a bite first."
Rao Aimin asked, "Is she really from your Taiji lineage?"
"I don't know either. She doesn't look like one," Zhang Ye said.
"Interesting." Rao Aimin snapped her fingers. "Alright, let's go eat. I'll stir-fry two more dishes. Pay for the food when you leave. Don't freeload with me."
"Why are you so stingy?"
Very quickly, the dishes were ready.
The four of them sat down at the table and started eating.
The moment they moved their chopsticks, the atmosphere immediately changed!
Zhang Ye and the others were still fine as they ate normally. But when they saw Yang Shu, they were a little taken aback.
Yang Shu ate very quickly but not in a hurry. This scene was still very difficult to describe with words. Her chopsticks moved over and over again, and in the blink of an eye, the bowl of rice was emptied. She ate more of the main course and did not eat much of the side dishes.
She finished the bowl of rice in no time.
Yang Shu put her chopsticks down on the empty bowl and did not move anymore.
Zhang Ye said in a daze, "Can I get you another bowl?"
Yang Shu nodded. "OK."
Zhang Ye went to scoop some rice for her and handed it back to her. "Here."
"Thank you." Yang Shu picked up her chopsticks again and finished the bowl of rice.
Zhang Ye was taken aback. "Do you want more?"
Yang Shu nodded. "… OK."
There were four bowls of rice in total. Although they were small bowls, they were always filled to the brim. Yang Shu ate more than Zhang Ye, Rao Aimin, and Chenchen combined!
Damn!
How many days has it been since you last ate?
Zhang Ye said politely, "Would you like to have some more food?"
Yang Shu did not stand on ceremony. "Sure." She picked up her chopsticks again.
There wasn't much food left on the table.
Chenchen went up to snatch it from her. "Give me that piece of meat!"
But Yang Shu had already picked up that piece of meat.
Chenchen's chopsticks knocked onto Yang Shu's chopsticks with a smack.
Yang Shu reflexively dodged.
Chenchen's chopsticks trembled and went up to block it from another direction.
Yang Shu was taken aback. "Eight Trigrams Palm?"
Chenchen had been practicing the Eight Trigrams Palm with Rao Aimin since she was young. Although she was still too young to really start practicing martial arts, she still knew the stances and routines of the martial arts. This was something that Rao Aimin had been imbued with over the years of training!
Who would have thought that Yang Shu would recognize it at a glance!
Zhang Ye and Rao Aimin looked at each other.
She was really a martial artist?
Her eyesight was pretty good!
Zhang Ye's interest was piqued. He took out his chopsticks and reached for it. "There's only this piece of streaky pork left. I haven't eaten it in a long time, so why don't you leave it for me?"
With this, Yang Shu felt a soft but strong force coming from her chopsticks and nearly caused her to lose her grip!
Yang Shu's expression changed slightly. "I think it's better to let the child eat it!"
Yang Shu made her move. She placed her chopsticks down and then flicked them up, trying to flick Zhang Ye's chopsticks away!
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "The child shouldn't eat too much. It's easy for her to get bloated, so I think it's better to let me have it."
Yang Shu realized that she couldn't shake him off!
Zhang Ye's chopsticks seemed to be stuck to her, sticking to her!
"The child is still growing!" Yang Shu pinched the piece of meat, pressed down slightly, and twisted it. Her chopsticks suddenly shot out towards Zhang Ye's hand!
"I've been working all day, so I'm hungry too." Zhang Ye swung his chopsticks in the opposite direction and held them upright, blocking the tip of Yang Shu's chopsticks!
The two collided!
The piece of streaky pork fell from midair!
Yang Shu's chopsticks chased after it!
Zhang Ye flicked her chopsticks away!
Yang Shu blocked it again!
Zhang Ye flicked out with a Neutralizing Force!
At the same time, Yang Shu's chopsticks also flicked out with a Taiji Neutralizing Force!
The chopsticks collided!
Bam!
Zhang Ye's hand trembled, but he did not drop it!
Yang Shu's chopsticks flew out of her hand and hit the wall behind her before falling to the ground!
Zhang Ye reached out with his chopsticks and caught that piece of streaky pork.
Yang Shu froze on the spot!
But the next moment, Rao Aimin's chopsticks suddenly reached out. "I've always wondered how you learned your martial arts. Today's a good occasion, so let's spar as well."
Zhang Ye gave a wry smile. "I'm not going to spar with you."
Rao Aimin said, "I haven't recovered from my injuries, so I won't bully you."
Zhang Ye said in a speechless manner, "Even if you're injured, I can't beat you."
"Let's give it a try."
"… Alright then!"
