Chapter 4: The Eyes

  Hong Qingshan was in his rented residences courtyard on the fourth day of his stay in Yangzhou.

  Teng Qing Shan sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his eyes closed. When the first rays of sunlight illuminated Yangzhou City, Teng Qing Shan opened his eyes almost simultaneously, his heart as calm as water and his spirit inwardly focused. He stood up, facing the sunrise, took a deep breath, and his face was serene. Then he began to practice the Twelve Forms of Shape and Intention.

  Xingyiquan Twelve Forms, divided into Dragon, Tiger, Eagle, Monkey, Horse, Swallow, Sparrowhawk, Rooster, Bear, Bird Platform, Alligator and Snake twelve forms.

  Each style has its own subtleties.

  Only when the Qingyun Mountain displays its dragon shape, its like a swimming dragon emerging from the water, moving swiftly through the turbulent waves of the sky, with a speed as fast as lightning. The spiral shape and rolling force are combined, between each rotation and thrust of the fist, a burst of energy shoots out like an electric drill, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound. The dragon shape combines almost perfectly with the drilling fist of Xingyiquans Five Elements Fist.

  When displaying the tiger shape, the speed of the bodys ups and downs makes people feel like its a flash of an illusion. Suddenly, both hands and feet support the ground, and then suddenly pounce out like a fierce tiger going down the mountain, bringing up a low whistling sound. The left fist flips over and twists in front of the eyebrows, while the right fist bursts out like a cannonball, causing a loud firecracker explosion sound to ring out. The left and right fists alternate, the left fist bursting out again... Alternating back and forth, like a fierce tiger going down the mountain, its claws ceaselessly tearing apart, wanting to tear the prey into pieces.

  ……

  When the first round of boxing was finished, the sun had already completely jumped out of the horizon.

  Facing the rising sun, gather momentum!

  Teng Qing Shan gazed at the sunrise with a gaze as firm as a rock, unshakeable. Since his wifes passing, Teng Qing Shan had only one pursuit - Martial Arts. His conviction was unwavering to the extreme, also allowing Teng Qing Shan to continually deepen his understanding of Xingyiquan, each time elevating him and making him feel the profoundness of Xingyiquan.

  "Its been three days and I still havent seen Qing He!" Teng Qing Shan furrowed his brow, then smiled, "However, the efficiency of Dark Hand is really low, they only discovered my trail yesterday evening."

  Teng Qing Shan thought that with the distance of over 100 kilometers between Yangzhou City and Anyi County, Hei Ans people would be able to find him within a day. However, it wasnt until the evening of the third day that they finally tracked him down. This wasnt surprising though, as Hei Ans organization had thought... Teng Qing Shan would immediately flee after his whereabouts were exposed, so their search efforts were focused elsewhere.

  Who would have thought that Teng Qing Shan was not afraid of death and actually lingered in Yangzhou City.

  "For three consecutive days, Qinghe was not found. As a member of the national special department, he might have been delayed by something important." Teng Qingshan left his residence as usual, took a taxi and went straight to Yangliu Teahouse in the old city district.

  In general, Teng Qing Shan would spend his mornings at the Weeping Willow Teahouse and afternoons at the White Cloud Coffee House not far away. Inside the White Cloud Coffee House, one could also see the residence of his younger brother, Qing He.

  ******

  Yangzhou City, old city district, Weeping Willow Tea House.

  "Welcome, sir. Please come in." The waiter led Teng Qing Shan to the second floor by the window and asked, "Sir, still soy milk and steamed buns?" For three consecutive days, every day at the same location, ordering the same food, and sitting there for an entire morning, the waiters were naturally very familiar with what Teng Qing Shan would order.

  Teng Qing Shan nodded slightly: "Yes, thank you." He then turned his head and looked through the window towards the direction of his younger brother Teng Jiangs house in the distance.

  "Hmm, these past few days, Qinghe hasnt returned home at all, whats going on?" Teng Qingshan furrowed his brow, this was the fourth day he had been observing, after several days of observation, Teng Qingshan was very familiar with many places in his younger brothers house, and with just one glance, it was easy to distinguish whether the door had been opened or not, whether the window had been opened or not, and whether the curtains had been pulled open or not.

  No change!

  These past few days of observation have shown that no one has been living in the Qinghe residence.

  "In a few days, God of Guns Sun Ze and Fragment Machine Dolgortrov will arrive. I hope to see my brother before this war." Teng Qing Shan thought silently.

  "Sir, your soy milk and steamed buns."

  The waiter brought over a steamer basket of small baozi and a large cup of soy milk, and Teng Qing Shan began eating his breakfast while quietly waiting...

  ……

  A gentle breeze blows, a Range Rover Evoque SUV is driving on the streets of Yangzhous old town. Such a masculine and domineering car, but the driver is a lovely short-haired beauty. The beauty drives this kind of car, which really has a unique flavor, and cant help but make many peoples eyes light up in admiration.

  Lin Qing drove a Land Rover, moving quietly.

  The gazes from both sides of the street, she had long been accustomed to them, and there was only a faint desolation on her face.

  "I thought it would just go on like this, but then I met him... Teng Qing Shan. He was like a gust of wind, suddenly appearing and filling my world with color again. But then he left as quietly as the wind. Lin Qings eyes were cold, and her gaze suddenly fell on a tea house by the street - Yang Liu Tea House."

  Yangliu Tea House, although not as famous as Fuchun Tea House in Yangzhou City, has a similarly rich historical background and is much cheaper.

  He turned the corner in the habit of his surname and stopped the Land Rover in the empty space in front of the tea house, Lin Qing stepped into the Yangliu Tea House.

  "Miss Lin." The waiter, upon seeing Lin Qing, came over enthusiastically, "Its been a long time since Miss Lin has come here."

  "I went traveling for a trip." Lin Qing said with a light smile, and then directly climbed up the stairs.

  ……

  Hong Qingshan had finished his breakfast and was sipping tea, keeping an eye on his younger brother Qinghes house.

  "Teng Qing Shan!" A slightly trembling voice rang out.

  Teng Qing Shan was taken aback, as there were not many people in Yangzhou City who recognized him. Teng Qing Shan looked back in confusion, only to see a woman with short hair and wearing a black skirt and white blouse standing at the staircase - Lin Qing! Upon seeing Lin Qings eyes, Teng Qing Shans calm heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  Lin Qings eyes were filled with a mix of emotions, a hint of joy and yet a hint of annoyance, what kind of eyes were they that contained so many emotions?

  Kitty...

  Teng Qing Shan still remembered the year he was 20 years old, when he and his wife Xiao Mao were on a mission in Lebanon in the Middle East. Xiao Mao had been shot, and in that urgent moment, Teng Qing Shan had quickly removed her clothes to take out the bullet head. At that time, Xiao Maos gaze at him was also like this...

  Breathless and anxious, with both delight and annoyance...

  The same eyes!

  It was also after that time that Xiaomiao and himself took a crucial step forward and became lovers.

  "Teng Qing Shan, didnt you say you had an urgent matter to return home? And also said that your home is in the mountainous area, I dont know? How come youre still in Yangzhou?" Lin Qing sat down opposite Teng Qing Shan with a thud and asked one question after another. But Lin Qing found that Teng Qing Shan didnt say anything, just staring at her.

  Staring into her eyes!

  It is very impolite to stare at a lady.

  "What are you looking at?" Lin Qing couldnt help but say, although she said so, yet inexplicably had a hint of delight in her heart, Teng Qing Shan this wooden head finally discovered her charm.

  "Your eyes are just like my wifes." Teng Qing Shan let out a soft sigh, withdrew his gaze, and took a light sip of tea.

  The forest shook with a single tremor.

  "Your wife?" Lin Qing had just been furious and wanted to ask Tong Qingshan why he deceived her, but when she heard the word "wife", she was completely stunned. "You, you just graduated from college, just walked out of the university gate, how do you already have a wife?"

  "University?"

  Teng Qing Shan shook his head and said, "I didnt attend college." In fact, even those glasses were fake, just a simple disguise.

  "You, you..." Lin Qings mind was completely messed up.

  "Sorry, Ive been deceiving you all along. Saying my home is in the mountains was a lie, and saying I just graduated from university was also a lie." Teng Qing Shan said with a faint smile, "Lin Qing, I really do have important things to attend to, and its not convenient for you to get involved. So Ive been deceiving you. Many things are complicated to explain, the best way is for you to pretend you never met me."

  Lin Qing originally felt that Teng Qing Shan was mysterious, and now he feels even more so.

  "When did you see me?" Lin Qing stared at Teng Qing Shan.

  Hong Qingshan nodded slightly.

  Lin Qinggan felt that Teng Qing Shan had a hidden coldness in his heart, as if he was resisting others from getting close to him and understanding him.

  "Youve been deceiving me all along, arent you going to make it up to me?" Lin Qing retorted.

  "Make up for it?" Teng Qings eyebrows furrowed.

  "Are you busy today?" Lin Qinglian asked.

  Teng Qing Shan nodded slightly: "This afternoon, Ill be staying at the coffee shop next door for a while."

  "Alright." Lin Qing smiled and nodded, "My request is not high either. You drink tea here, Ill accompany you by your side. In the afternoon, you go to the coffee shop. Ill also go to the coffee shop, I can accompany you from the side. If you want to see any guests, I wont interfere. I just want to be with you for a day. How about it?"

  Hong Qingshan was somewhat puzzled, just to spend a day with himself?

  If the other party insists on being by your side, you cant stop them even if you try.

  "Alright." Teng Qing Shan nodded, while Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile.
