Chapter 15: The Most Beautiful Girl in Yanjing

There is a small swimming pool in the backyard of the Jiang family, and next to the pool is an artificial lawn.

Guan Deyong pulled Tang Shuo directly to the center of the grass, then he stood with his legs firmly planted and his hands clasped.

This is the standard starting stance for Baguazhang defense.

Baguazhang is not actually a defensive palm technique. When fighting against an enemy, Baguazhang generally relies on its agile and nimble nature and ability to change moves at will to restrain the enemy.

However, this time Guan Deyong just wanted to try out the feeling of Tang Shuo attacking him with his internal energy.

"Mr. Guan, are you ready?" Tang Shuo asked with a smile.

Guan Deyong nodded solemnly, signaling Tang Shuo to attack.

Tang Shuo threw a seemingly light punch, and Guan Deyong couldn't even stand steadily. He retreated repeatedly and took three or four steps before he could barely stabilize himself.

"You're truly domineering," Guan Deyong exclaimed. "Your skills should rank among the top three in China."

"Awesome, awesome." Jiang Hongtao, who was watching the game, also clapped his hands gently and praised with a smile.

Jiang Hongtao had never practiced martial arts, but he had been in contact with Guan Deyong for a long time, so he knew some basic knowledge of martial arts. He had also heard Guan Deyong talk about "internal strength" and knew something about it.

Tang Shuo shook his head and said modestly, "China is a vast country with abundant resources. My skills are far from up to par."

This is not Tang Shuo's mockery of Guan Deyong, who was defeated by him, but the actual situation is exactly like this.

Tang Shuo is not so arrogant as to think that he is the best in the world.

In his early years, when Tang Shuo followed his lame master to seek medical treatment everywhere, he and his master met a Xingyiquan master who was over 70 years old in the western part of Shanxi.

The opponent is the authentic descendant of Ji Jike, the master of the "Divine Fist". His strength is more than just tyrannical.

Tang Shuo felt that even at his peak strength, if the two of them were to face each other in a duel, he would undoubtedly lose. If it were a life-or-death duel without restraint, the outcome would be a 50-50 split.

He had also personally witnessed an ascetic monk in Tibet who could go seven days without sleep, food or water...

However, most of these people never appear in the world, so they have no reputation.

"The master who taught me Baguazhang once told me about internal energy. He only knew that very few people could master it." Guan Deyong scratched his head and asked awkwardly, "How did you develop your internal energy?"

In the early years when the sectarian culture was prevalent, if someone asked a question like this, he would definitely be beaten up.

This can already be considered as stealing skills!

But Tang Shuo had no prejudice against other schools of thought, and explained to Guan Deyong: "The Baguazhang you practice belongs to the internal martial arts, so you should also know some breathing techniques."

"Yes."

"Actually, I haven't practiced anything else. I've just been using the Taiqing Qigong Sutra combined with the Yin-Tai technique to keep exercising."

Tang Shuo had a good impression of Guan Deyong. He knew that he was just an old man who loved martial arts, so he answered very frankly.

"However, I can cultivate internal energy because of my physical constitution. My master and I practice the same martial arts, but he doesn't have internal energy."

The Taiqing Tiaoqi Jing and Yinti Shu are not considered rare skills, and Guan Deyong has heard of them.

After listening to Tang Shuo's explanation, Guan Deyong nodded as if he understood something.

He knew that Tang Shuo had not lied to him, because there was no need for that at all!

If the other party really didn't want to teach him, he could have just refused at that time. There was no reason to make up something fictitious.

He could only attribute Tang Shuo's ability to possess internal energy to the fact that Tang Shuo had an excellent physique and was a rare martial arts prodigy.

"Actually, your Baguazhang is already quite proficient. If you were to use an Eight-Disc Knife, I'd have to put in some effort to defeat you," Tang Shuo said. "I won't be using internal energy this time. Let's have another competition."

Guan Deyong's eyes lit up, and he took the lead and attacked Tang Shuo.

Tang Shuo didn't expect that the old man would use such a trick. He smiled faintly, and then the two of them started fighting.

Jiang Hongtao sat not far away, commenting from time to time and making fun of Guan Deyong.

…………

Two bulletproof Mercedes-Benz cars, surrounded by a bulletproof Lincoln RV, slowly drove into the Jiang family villa. After the cars stopped, a young woman in a black business suit opened the door of the Lincoln, and then two young people, a man and a woman, got out of the Lincoln.

This man and woman were flawless in both appearance and temperament.

The man is fresh, handsome and gentle.

The woman is stunningly beautiful, like a painting.

It seems that all the good things in the world are taken away by these two people. When seeing these two people, most people will probably begin to lament the unfairness of the Creator.

If I had to find fault, I would only say that this man is a little too handsome and gives people a rather feminine feeling. If you don't look at his appearance, you would think he is a woman.

This woman is a little too perfect, seems very cold, and gives people a feeling that strangers should stay away from her.

If you look closely, you will find that there is some similarity between the two people's eyebrows and eyes.

"Sister, there is only one mass-produced McLaren sports car available in the whole of China. You must buy it for your brother." The man said with a flattering look on his face as he followed the young woman.

The young woman didn't even turn her head, as if she didn't hear what the other person said.

"Li Jia has already threatened to snatch this car from me," the man insisted. "If he ends up buying it, it will be embarrassing for my brother."

"What's it to me?" The young woman's answer was completely consistent with her temperament...just as cold.

"Please help my brother just this once," the man pleaded.

The young woman didn't answer. She walked into the villa and saw that Jiang Hongtao was not in the living room. She said to the nanny who was wiping the table, "Aunt Li, where is my grandfather?"

"In the backyard." Aunt Li replied immediately.

"What are you doing in the backyard?" the young woman asked, frowning slightly.

"There are guests at home."

The young woman hesitated for a moment and then walked towards the backyard.

The man followed the woman like a little tail. Seeing that she ignored him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Help my brother buy this car, and I will go to our family company for an internship right away."

"You should apply first and start as a low-level employee. I'll pass on the instructions and won't give you any special privileges." The woman replied calmly as she walked away. "We'll discuss this matter after you're successful in your application."

"Low-level employee?" the man said in surprise. "Wouldn't it be better for me to just become the general manager's secretary at a branch company? That way I could learn more comprehensively."

"I've given you the choice." The young woman said sparingly.

The two people, who were obviously brother and sister, had just walked to the backyard. Tang Shuo, who was sparring with Guan Deyong in the middle of the grass, happened to grab Guan Deyong's arm again and turned around to throw him out.

The brother and sister were somewhat surprised by the scene before them, and looked at the situation on the field in confusion.

The guests came to fight with Guan Lao, and then Grandpa Jiang Hongtao watched the fight?

What is going on?

"Grandpa." The young woman said to Jiang Hongtao, who was smiling.

"Tiantong, you're back." Jiang Hongtao said to the woman with a smile. "Come here, I'll introduce someone to you."

"Hmm?" The woman called Tiantong nodded, then looked at Tang Shuo with some surprise.

There is only one outsider here, so it is not difficult to guess who Jiang Hongtao is going to introduce.

"Alright, take a break," Jiang Hongtao called to Tang Shuo and Guan Deyong. "Tang Shuo, come here. I'd like to introduce someone to you."

Tang Shuo felt as if he had been pardoned when he heard this. He immediately left Guan Deyong behind and turned to walk towards Jiang Hongtao.

As soon as he turned around, he saw the young woman standing next to Jiang Hongtao. Although she had experienced many ups and downs, Tang Shuo still felt amazed.

Out of touch with worldly affairs... This was Tang Shuo's first impression of Jiang Tiantong.

Jiang Tiantong, wearing a pure white handmade shirt, looks like a fairy, exuding an otherworldly temperament.

If Tang Shuo knew that Jiang Tiantong was rated as the "most beautiful woman in Yanjing" by some gossipers, he would definitely praise her for her good taste.

As for that man, in Tang Shuo's eyes he was undoubtedly a gigolo, and was selectively ignored by Tang Shuo.

Jiang Hongtao pointed at the two people and introduced them to Tang Shuo, "These are my granddaughter and grandson, Jiang Tiantong and Jiang Tianwei."

Afterwards, Jiang Hongtao said to the two of them, "This is Tang Shuo, you should call him uncle."

uncle……

Jiang Tiantong and Jiang Tianwei felt a chill. Not to mention calling a stranger who was about their own age "uncle", they couldn't bring themselves to do that even if they were really relatives!

Tang Shuo smiled and said, "Let's just talk about our own affairs. Just call me Tang Shuo."

Jiang Tiantong nodded to Tang Shuo as a greeting.

She still couldn't figure this out.

Since Jiang Hongtao was able to introduce him to her personally, it means that this matter, or this person, must have a certain relationship with the Jiang family.

But I have never heard of the name Tang Shuo in all these years, so how come I suddenly have an "uncle"?

However, it would be strange if the relationship between them could be understood without explanation.

This was difficult for her genius mind, as she entered USTC at the age of thirteen and graduated from USTC at the age of fifteen.

Jiang Tianwei frowned and whispered to his sister Jiang Tiantong, "Who is this guy? Why don't I know him?"

Jiang Hongtao said to Tang Shuo, "Let's go in and take a rest first."

Tang Shuo nodded, smiled at the Jiang siblings, and followed Jiang Hongtao into the villa.

As soon as Tang Shuo left, Jiang Tianwei lost interest in him. Continuing with his previous topic, he said to Jiang Tiantong, "Buy my brother a car, and I'll join the company right away."

Jiang Tiantong looked at Tang Shuo's back and said to Jiang Tianwei, "Go for the interview first, and we'll talk after you pass."

Then she waved to her secretary, Jia Tingting, who had been standing nearby. When she came over, Jiang Tiantong immediately ordered, "First, go find out who Tang Shuo is, and then inform everyone that if my brother goes for a job interview, he's not allowed to use any backdoors."
