Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "Those who come are guests, sit down and talk."
Zhang Chen didn't sit. He stood in front of Fang Yan with a face full of guilt and said, "Master, I didn't think something like this would happen, and I even dragged you into it … I promise you, nothing happened between me and Sun Li. We are innocent, I … I swear to you on my honor and reputation. "
Fang Yan looked at the two of them and said, "Then tell me, what's going on?"
Fang Yan was willing to give him a chance to explain. This made Zhang Chen very happy. He was determined to become Fang Yan's disciple. If the incident with Chang Ping caused Fang Yan to misunderstand his character, then his path to becoming Fang Yan's disciple would be completely blocked.
However, when it came to explaining the past, Zhang Chen's expression was full of sorrow and he couldn't speak for a long time.
How could he pick up the grains that had rotted in the mud one by one?
Sun Li sighed and said, "Let me explain."
Zhang Chen loved martial arts since he was a child, and he learned kung fu from Sun Rulong, a martial arts master in Huacheng. Sun Rulong was very fond of Zhang Chen's talent and thought highly of him. He taught him everything he knew. Zhang Chen gradually became famous in Huacheng's mixed martial arts world, and he quickly became the symbol of the Rulong Martial Arts School with Sun Rulong as its master.
Sun Rulong had a son and a daughter. His son, Sun Qiang, avoided martial arts like a scorpion, while his daughter, Sun Li, loved martial arts as much as her life. Sun Li's kung fu wasn't good, but she had a good impression of Zhang Chen, who was highly skilled in martial arts. The two of them gradually became an enviable couple.
Later, Sun Rulong became old and weak and couldn't teach any disciples, so he handed the Rulong Martial Arts School to his most valued disciple, Zhang Chen. When Zhang Chen opened his dojo to accept disciples, Chang Ping was one of the first disciples to become a disciple of Zhang Chen.
When Chang Ping first arrived, he was very low-key. He was diligent, eager to learn, and devoted to martial arts. He was extremely respectful to his master, Zhang Chen, and was generous to his fellow disciples and his master's wife, Sun Li. He won everyone's favor, including Zhang Chen and Sun Li, who liked Chang Ping very much at that time.
Even the teacher Gongsun Rulong, who no longer cared about the affairs of the martial arts club, was sent to the United States, France, England, Germany, and other countries at Chang Ping's expense. The itinerary was meticulous and thoughtful, and Gongsun Rulong was full of praise for this disciple of his.
What he didn't expect was that Chang Ping had long coveted Sun Li's beauty and graceful figure. When Zhang Chen represented the Rulong Martial Arts School in Thailand to participate in a national mixed martial arts competition, Chang Ping invited Sun Li to the martial arts school under the guise of asking his master's wife for some pointers.
Sun Li was so angry that she told her father, Sun Rulong. Sun Rulong was worried that the family's dirty linen would be exposed. Chang Ping knelt in front of him and sincerely apologized, saying that he did it because he liked Sun Li from the bottom of his heart. He was willing to marry Sun Li and love her for the rest of his life. He wouldn't let her suffer even the slightest bit. Besides, Sun Li and Chang Ping were already husband and wife. If Zhang Chen found out about this, it would be difficult for the two of them to be together again. It was better for Sun Li and Chang Ping to be a happy couple.
Sun Li's brother, Sun Qiang, was even more direct. After accepting a luxurious villa from Chang Ping, he told Sun Li that he would recognize Chang Ping as his brother-in-law. Moreover, since Sun Li and Chang Ping had already slept together, Sun Qiang was already his brother-in-law …
When Zhang Chen returned home after his victory, he found that everything around him had changed. His beloved girlfriend was engaged to his most valued disciple, and he, the person involved, was not informed by anyone.
He was so angry that he wanted to destroy the world.
One night, when Chang Ping was sending Sun Li home, Zhang Chen blocked his way and beat him up, almost beating him to death in the dojo.
Sun Li was worried that Zhang Chen would kill someone and cause trouble, so she knocked him out with a spear from behind.
From then on, Zhang Chen was depressed and distanced himself from the glory of Hua City's mixed martial arts world, becoming an unknown martial arts teacher.
Chang Ping's beating by Zhang Chen was not without repercussions.
Because Sun Li was molested by Chang Ping, Zhang Chen ruthlessly kicked Chang Ping's penis a few times. From then on, Chang Ping developed a phobia of erectile dysfunction in front of women. Until now, they had not given birth to any children.
Chang Ping did not reflect on himself and pushed all the blame onto Sun Li. He beat and scolded her, and Sun Li's life was miserable.
After Zhang Chen heard about Sun Li's life, he went to talk to Chang Ping again. Chang Ping suspected that Sun Li and Zhang Chen had rekindled their relationship and that Zhang Chen wanted to negotiate with him to show off. His attitude toward Sun Li was even worse.
This time, Chang Ping came to settle the score with Zhang Chen because he had monitored Sun Li's phone calls and found that Sun Li and Zhang Chen had a long call history …
"Why not divorce?" Fang Yan looked at Sun Li and asked.
Sun Li was a pitiful woman, and Zhang Chen was a pitiful man. The entanglement of these two people's fate was really regrettable.
"I can't," Sun Li said. "The Chang family is rich and powerful. I've asked for a divorce several times, but they rejected me every time."
Zhang Chen looked at Fang Yan and said, "I've tried. But nothing worked. "
"They also said that if I dared to ask for a divorce again, they would send me to a mental hospital for three years. When I came out, I would become a real mental patient … At that time, it would be even more impossible for me to divorce," Sun Li said with a pained expression.
"They've gone too far," Fang Yan said angrily.
"That's right. How hateful. Junior Martial Uncle, let's go beat him up. "Fang Yingying was also filled with righteous indignation after listening to the story. Was there any justice left in this world?
"Why me?" Fang Haohan asked with a puzzled expression.
"Because I still have to listen to the story," Fang Yingying said.
Sun Li looked at Fang Yan and said with tears in her eyes, "Mr. Fang, everything is my fault … If I didn't marry Chang Ping, if it wasn't for me, if it wasn't for Chang Ping, then this afternoon wouldn't have happened."
"Zhang Chen is a good man. Not being able to marry him is the biggest regret of my life. I've been like this for the rest of my life, but Zhang Chen is different. He no longer has anything to do with me. We haven't been in contact for many years. He found out from a former student that my life isn't going well, so he wanted to help me … He likes to learn martial arts, and he really wants you to be his disciple. If possible, I hope this incident won't affect your opinion of him … I believe he's a very good disciple. He's very talented, and he definitely won't let you down. "
Sun Li looked at Zhang Chen and said with determination, "From now on, you don't have to care about my affairs anymore. Don't think about it, don't listen, pretend you don't know … We've stopped interacting for a long time, and we won't contact each other again. I know what your dream is, so try your best to achieve it. I wish you success. "
As she spoke, large teardrops rolled down her cheeks. Then, she bowed deeply to Fang Yan, turned around, and ran out the door.
Zhang Chen glanced at Fang Yan, then quickly chased after her.
Fang Yingying and Fang Haohan looked at each other, then Fang Yingying said, "Zhang Chen is so pitiful."
"Yeah," Fang Haohan echoed. "So pitiful."
Fang Yan was silent, as if he didn't understand the meaning behind the two brothers' words.
Half an hour later, Zhang Chen returned. Sun Li was nowhere to be seen.
Fang Yan stood up and said, "Come take a walk with me in the yard."
Zhang Chen nodded and followed Fang Yan out.
"Do you still like her?" Fang Yan asked.
Zhang Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Fang Yan to ask him such a question. He nodded, and then shook his head.
"You don't know either?" Fang Yan asked.
"I don't know," Zhang Chen said. "In the beginning, I hated her. I thought it was because of her that my life was ruined. Then I tried to forget her. I didn't want to be in such pain anymore. I knew her life wasn't going well, and I was worried about her … I just don't know if I still like her. "
"You still like her," Fang Yan said with absolute certainty.
Zhang Chen raised his head and looked at Fang Yan in confusion. He had asked himself this question countless times, but he couldn't get a definite answer. Why did Fang Yan come to this conclusion so easily?
"Your fists are too heavy," Fang Yan said. "Not only is your fist heavy, your body is heavy, your thoughts are heavy, and your entire being is heavy … You're so heavy that you can't breathe, you're so heavy that you can't run, and you're so heavy that you can't use your fists. You have too much baggage, and you can't let go of her. "
"Master, I …"
"Do you know what Tai Chi is?" Fang Yan asked.
Zhang Chen shook his head.
"An old man was practicing Tai Chi in the park with great strength. At this time, a young man came and said, 'Grandpa, you're so good at martial arts, how did you practice?' The old man said, 'I'll stand still and try hitting me with all your strength.' So the young man punched the old man hard. "
"And then?" Zhang Chen asked excitedly. It was an inspirational story of an ignorant teenager who met a hidden master in the park, and then became a master of Tai Chi. He liked to listen to such a story of a loser's counterattack. This was also the ideal life he had always been looking forward to.
"The young man was blackmailed of 20,000 yuan," Fang Yan said.
"…"
"Now do you know what Tai Chi is?" Fang Yan asked.
Zhang Chen shook his head again and said, "I still don't know."
"This story tells us that if you want to learn Tai Chi, you must choose the right master. Only when the master is strong can the disciple learn real skills. The master only has posture but no momentum. Not only can the disciple not learn anything, but he may also be blackmailed of 20,000 yuan. "
"Master, what do you mean?" Zhang Chen thought hard, but he still didn't understand what Fang Yan was trying to say.
Fang Yan looked at Zhang Chen helplessly and said, "Now, you can worship as a master."
