Zhang Shixun put the dagger back into the scabbard, opened Wang Hongfu's collar, put it back, and patted it.

Throughout the whole process, Wang Hongfu was like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, not moving at all. He was stunned by what he had just seen.

"Don't take advantage of your father's power to bully others. That's not good." Zhang Shixun patted his cheek gently and said, "You're a young man. When you have nothing to do, you should walk your birds, keep a falcon, or go cockfighting, dogfighting, or cricket fighting. That's what you should do. Don't roll up your sleeves and fight at every turn... Look at you, your arms are as thin as firewood sticks. What right do you have to hit people?"

Wang Hongfu nodded, then shook his head.

Zhang Shixun jokingly said, "Wang Yanei, you're nodding and shaking your head at the same time. What do you mean?"

Wang Hongfu had not yet recovered from his shock and stammered, "I... I..."

"It seems I scared you. I'm so sorry. I didn't want to show off this little Taoist skill, but you don't know how to advance or retreat, and I don't want to fight you. So I had to show you some real skills to open your eyes... Now I ask you, do you still want to fight with us?"

"I won't fight...any more." Wang Hongfu swallowed his saliva and said, "You...you can teach me the Golden Bell Body Protection Technique. I'll give you silver. You name your price."

"Don't want to fight anymore? You want to learn the Golden Bell Body Protection Technique, haha!" Zhang Shixun laughed and said, "I'm sorry to tell you that you can't learn this Taoist technique. If you insist on learning it, you might even lose your life. If you're really interested in Taoist techniques, you might want to learn the Wall-Walking Technique from Gao Yanei. His technique will be more useful to you. If you're caught doing something bad, you can use it to escape. It's truly the only way to save your life."

Gao Yanei, who was standing nearby, immediately raised his chin when he heard Zhang Shixun praising his "skill of walking through walls."

Wang Hongfu's eyes darted around, hesitating for a long while before he came to Gao Yanei and stammered, "Yanei, I...I..."

"What? You don't call me a thief anymore?" Gao Yanei looked at him sideways, with an expression that he was not going to give in.

"I said I would treat you two to a drink! I have nothing to do today. If Yanei has nothing else to do right now, I will treat you two to a drink. You can choose any restaurant in Tokyo." Wang Hongfu had come to his senses by now and was no longer stuttering.

Zhang Shixun said.

"Don't you look down on me? You just called me a petty villain, and you haven't even finished your words yet."

"That was just a rant, don't take it seriously. Besides, you guys also called me a bastard, so we don't owe each other anything."

I have nothing to say, this grandson is extremely shameless.

"I have something else to do, so I won't go." Zhang Shixun refused.

It is best to stay away from people who have no moral bottom line.

Gao Yanei readily agreed to Wang Hongfu's invitation.

Zhang Shixun pulled Gao Yanei aside and whispered, "While we're eating, take care of Sun Sansi's issue. It would be best if we could sign a written agreement so that she won't be harassed again."

Gao Yanei glanced at Wang Hongfu, who was waiting for him at the gate, and frowned, saying, "It's not difficult to deal with this guy, but his father is the difficult one. I'm afraid that old Hu Sun won't let go easily."

"Then it depends on your ability. Take care of the little one first. As for his father, we'll see how things develop. At worst, we can just keep fighting him." Zhang Shixun glanced at the already impatient Wang Hongfu and asked mischievously, "This guy wants to learn your unique skill, 'The Art of Walking Through Walls.' Will you teach him?"

"Teach! Of course I teach. Lao Tzu once said, if you want to teach, then you don't..."

“There is no discrimination in education.”

"That's right, there's no discrimination in teaching," Gao Yanei said with a wicked smile, "Since he's willing to learn, I'll take this opportunity to give this little Hu Sun a hard time... Hehe! Don't worry, brother. If I, Gao Chengzong, don't make this fellow sick, I won't be considered a provocateur."

Zhang Shixun smiled knowingly, "After all, what Yanei has learned is the immortal Taoism. It's not easy to come by. Just teach him a little at a time. Don't be foolish and teach him everything at once... I'm not saying anything bad about you. You are a good person in every way, but you are too honest."

At this point, even Zhang Shixun himself laughed.

If Gao Yanei is honest, even a sow will climb a tree.

Gao Yanei was very pleased to hear Zhang Shixun praise his honesty and nodded frequently, saying, "Brother, you are absolutely right. This is my only flaw, and I can't change it."

As he said this, he pretended to sigh.

Wang Hongfu was getting impatient waiting at the door and couldn't help shouting, "Stop dawdling, let's go."

Gao Yanei didn't leave. He touched Zhang Shixun's belly and asked with great curiosity, "Brother, is your Golden Bell Body Protection Skill real or fake?"

"Of course it's fake." Zhang Shixun gently pushed him and said, "Yanei, that guy is eager to become your disciple. Don't keep him waiting. Go now."

"It turns out that brother's magical skill of the golden bell protecting his body is just a trick." Gao Yanei laughed, put his hands behind his back, and walked towards the gate with a figure eight step.

Wang Hongfu seemed a little unwilling to give up, and shouted to Zhang Shixun: "Master Zhang, why don't you come with us? We will take you to Fanlou to play."

Zhang Shixun waved his hand and said, "You guys go ahead, I still have things to do."

Wang Hongfu no longer insisted, and he and Gao Yanei walked out of the gate arm in arm, chatting and laughing.

Looking at their backs, Zhang Shixun's mood suddenly improved.

Someone behind him said, "Master Zhang, Wang Yanei has invited you so graciously, why don't you go with us? Fanlou isn't a place that ordinary people can afford. Going in costs at least a dozen strings of cash, and at most several hundred. This is a rare opportunity."

Zhang Shixun turned around and saw that it was Wang Meng, so he said, "Fanlou is indeed a good place, but it depends on who you go with."

"Oh? Master Zhang doesn't like Wang Yanei?"

"Well, it's not just dislike, it's disgust."

"Mr. Zhang, are you interested in having a couple of drinks with me? There's a good seat in the front row."

Zhang Shixun looked at him, trying to read something from his expression.

Wang Meng took the initiative to invite him to drink, which showed that he wanted to make friends with him, but no one knew what his purpose was.

"Let's go. It's too boring for me to drink alone."

"Brother Wang, how can I refuse your kind invitation? Please!"

"please!"

The two of them came to the front row and sat down. Wang Meng gestured to a servant, who smiled and brought over a pot of tea, pouring it for the two of them attentively.

"Prepare us two side dishes and a pot of wine." Wang Meng instructed.

The servant agreed and went.

Zhang Shixun glanced at the stage and saw a clown performing, but it was nothing interesting.

"Mr. Zhang, I recently heard that you took part in the martial arts examination?" Wang Meng asked.

"Yes! Yes."

"I also heard that Master Zhang's archery skills are superb and unparalleled."

Zhang Shixun smiled faintly: "That's a flattery. Haha, I just have some brute strength, it's not worth mentioning."
