Chapter 27: The Father Who Looks for Trouble

  The young mens gaze shifted to Han Xiong, and with a hint of resentment, they asked him as their representative, "What is this Wuseng Hall? Youre not a disciple of Shaolin Temple, where did you come from?"

  "I dont know what temple we went to either, Master didnt say."

  "Can you teach me martial arts?" The Martial Temple was somewhere, the temple was called something like Shenma, but actually the young men didnt care about that at all. What they cared about was Xiaojingchens dazzlingly high martial value, and when they heard Xiao Pangzis question, the young men all showed disdainful expressions one after another. You havent even taken a master or joined a sect, can the secrets of the sect be taught casually? How ridiculous!

  Xiao Jingchen didnt even glance at anyone else, but seriously nodded, "Okay."

  Many young people: "......" Fine, they are stupid!

  Han Xiongs eyes lit up, and he excitedly hugged Xiao Jingchen, "Good brother, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

  "And me, and me!" Every boy has a heroic dream in his heart, but before they could only watch TV and daydream. Now the opportunity is right in front of them, and any boy who doesnt want to be a hero isnt a good guy. However, no one thought about how much hardship it takes to achieve that dazzling high-level martial arts skill. Of course, treating cultivation as a daily routine makes it not feel like hardship at all, so they didnt think about giving these young masters a preventive shot in advance.

  Looking at the young mens excitedly flushed faces and starry eyes, even Ling Fei, who relied solely on his intelligence to make a living, couldnt help but be moved.

  At noon, everyone chipped in to invite Xiao Jingchen to Jixiang Ruyi for a big meal, which can be considered as an early celebration of becoming his apprentice. However, the master expressed that he was not very satisfied.

  Jixiang Ruyi is not a vegetarian restaurant, although the dishes cant be described with such flashy words as "big fish and big meat", but no matter how delicate or delicious they are, they are still non-vegetarian dishes. Even if the meat is made to look like carrot strips, with Xiao Jingchens purely natural nose, it can absolutely be smelled out.

  Looking at Xiaojings increasingly ugly face, the young men in their hearts couldnt help but feel a little nervous, but no one dared to speak up, so they could only cast their eyes on Ling Fei. Ling Fei silently rubbed his forehead and asked softly, "Whats wrong? Not satisfied? What do you want to eat, just order it directly!"

  Xiao Jingchen touched his head and shook it, "I dont eat meat."

  "Why?" You really think youre a monk now.

  Because Im a monk! —— Master said that after going down the mountain, its considered entering the secular world, so this reason cant be used. The round and shiny eyeballs turned around, and Xiao Jingchen solemnly warned, "Eating too much meat is not good for martial arts cultivation."

  This reason is purely nonsense, overcautious and insufficient. As long as something is done in moderation, theres no harm. Moreover, young people are now in the stage of growth and development, and a hearty diet can fully supplement the various nutrients and energy needed for growth.

  However, the young men did not think so. After listening to Xiaojingchens reason, everyone involuntarily began to recall those martial arts masters and famous schools on TV. It seems that only Shaolin Temple has been passed down to this day. Like Emei and Wudang, what is most famous today is no longer martial arts. So, why? Isnt it because the monks of Shaolin Temple are all vegetarians?! As for whether Wudang and Emei eat meat or not, they dont care at all.

  So, everyone unanimously believed Xiao Jingchens nonsense, and their sharp gaze shot towards the meat dishes, as if they wanted to turn those delicious meat dishes into pure vegetarian dishes. In the end, Xiao Jingchen ate the cabbage and radish with relish, while the young men reluctantly finished off the last of the meat dishes.

  After dinner, everyone parted ways and returned home. Before leaving, Xiaojing glanced at the boys uneven clothes and was taken aback. She said seriously, "Remember to wear sports attire tomorrow." The casual and semi-sports clothes they wore were fine for playing basketball, after all, they werent professional basketball players. But if they wanted to learn martial arts, it would be a bit restrictive.

  The boys nodded in unison like a bunch of garlic, and Xiao Jing dusted off his heart with satisfaction.

  And not to mention the behavior of young people going back and eating cabbage and radish, excluding fish and meat from the table, made many mothers worry about their hair turning white. When Xiaojing returned home, she was faced with a cold and quiet house. She was stunned for a moment, then decisively called her foolish father on the phone.

  When the phone rang, Bai Xijing was in a meeting. The playful ringtone of the phone stunned all the directors and managers present, who didnt dare to move even their eyes, but Bai Xijing didnt mind at all. He calmly took out his mobile phone, which had a special ringtone set for Xiao Jingchens number. According to the rules, before entering the conference room, all participants phones must be switched to vibration or silent mode, including his own. Over the years, he had never made an exception, but now he couldnt help it. If something happened to Xiao Jingchen, the only person she could turn to for help was her father.

  "Hey!"

  "Dad, where are you?" A soft and gentle childs voice came through the receiver, and Bai Xijings cold and hard facial features immediately softened.

  "Whats wrong with the company?"

  "Oh, nothing much, Ill go take a nap then."

  "Okay, cover yourself with the quilt, dont catch a cold, Ill be back after Ive dealt with things."

  "Alright."

  He hung up the phone, and Bai Xijing slightly tilted his head. The sharp eyes behind his glasses scanned the room, and the pairs of eyes that were burning with fierce Bajiquan spirit immediately fell, like a flock of gentle sheep, not even daring to make a sound.

  Bai Xijing pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with a satisfied expression, continuing to listen to the department managers report. His face was expressionless and didnt show any ripples, but in fact, he had already flown back home like an arrow, having not slept well that morning, and he too wanted to go back for a nap.

  Dinner was made by Bai Xijing himself, a stir-fried green vegetable dish, a spicy and sour potato noodle dish, and a purple cabbage radish soup. The menu couldnt include any meat dishes, but Xiaojing didnt mind at all, as long as there was food to eat, she was very happy.

  After dinner, Bai Xi Jing sat in the living room with Xiao Jingchen to play Flying Chess, which was currently the only thing that could be found for his obedient son to play with. However, whats important wasnt what they played, but who they played with.

  Originally, Bai Xi Jing thought it was just a way to spend quality time with his son, but when Xiao Jingchen got more and more into the game, and he himself lost five rounds in a row, the silly dad pushed away the table and said, "Its getting late, you should take a bath and go to bed!"

  Xiao Jing dust glanced at the wall clock, it was already past eight oclock, indeed she should go to sleep, she nodded and stood up.

  Looking at Xiao Jings clever appearance, Bai Xijings paternal love burst forth. Thinking that his precious son had just been discharged from the hospital yesterday, thinking about the eight days of painful waiting without a break, and thinking about the wonderful sleep with the doll in his arms, Bai Xijing made the most wrong, most regrettable, and most destructive decision of his life.

  "Son, Daddy will take a bath with you!"
