At this moment, although Si Yan and Nian Li didn't quite understand the complicated past between the adults, they could feel the warmth and solemnity of the atmosphere. Nian Li took Su Jinli's hand and asked in a baby voice: "Mom, can we be as powerful as grandma and grandpa in the future?"
Su Jinli smiled and touched Nianli's head, saying, "As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to do it. However, martial arts are not for showing off, but for helping others, protecting yourself and those around you."
Si Yan also nodded vigorously and said, "Mom, I understand. I want to be a chivalrous hero like my grandparents in the future!"
The old man looked at the children's innocent and lovely appearance, a gratified smile on his face. He said, "Children, as long as you have a sense of justice and study hard, you will definitely become great people in the future. However, the road to learning martial arts is full of hardships, and you must have sufficient perseverance and determination."
Young Marquis Su was also rubbing his hands together, saying, "Grandfather, don't worry, I will definitely work hard. I want to learn martial arts from you and travel the world in the future, doing justice!"
From then on, Young Marquis Su, Siyan, and Nianli diligently studied martial arts with their grandfather. They rose before dawn each day to diligently practice in the courtyard, never stopping, regardless of the scorching summer sun or the biting winter winds. Their grandfather generously passed on his martial arts skills to them, meticulously teaching them everything from basic techniques to advanced mental skills.
Su Jinli and Jiang Yan, watching the children work so hard, felt both gratified and concerned. They knew the road to the martial arts world was filled with uncertainty and danger. But they also understood that the children had their own dreams and aspirations, and all they could do was quietly support them from behind and protect them.
As the days passed, the children's martial arts skills gradually improved. Young Marquis Su's swordsmanship became increasingly sharp, each strike carrying a majestic momentum. Si Yan's boxing and kicking skills also became increasingly sophisticated, her body agile and powerful. Although Nian Li was young, her swordsmanship was uniquely agile, like a light swallow, moving freely through the sword moves.
On a beautiful day, a group of bandits came to the village. They heard that there was a powerful old man in the village and that some of the old man's younger generations were practicing martial arts. So they wanted to rob him and test his strength.
The bandits rushed into the village with great momentum, and for a moment, the village was in chaos and the villagers were terrified. When Su Xiaohouye, Si Yan and Nian Li heard the news, they stepped forward without hesitation.
"You bad guys, don't bully the villagers!" Young Marquis Su stood in front of the bandits, holding a long sword, his eyes firm and fearless.
The bandits looked at the children and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "You little brats, you think you can stop us? If you know what's good for you, hand over your belongings or we'll treat you badly!" the leading bandit shouted arrogantly.
Si Yan and Nian Li were not to be outdone. They each took up their positions, ready to fight the bandits. "You should leave immediately, or we will show no mercy!" Si Yan shouted.
Nian Li waved the sword in her hand and said, "Yes, we must protect the village like grandma and grandpa did!"
The bandits, enraged by the children's stubbornness, rushed forward. Young Marquis Su was the first to strike, his swordsmanship sharp and instantly engaging the bandits. Si Yan and Nian Li were no less capable, working in perfect harmony as they engaged in a fierce battle with the bandits.
However, the bandits were numerous and brutal. Gradually, the children began to struggle. Just then, the old man and Jiang Yan arrived.
The old man watched the bandits' evil deeds, a flicker of anger in his eyes. He drew his flexible sword and, with lightning speed, instantly joined the fray. His swordsmanship flowed like clouds and water, his blade shimmering with sparks, each strike precisely targeting the bandits' vital points. The bandits were thrown into disarray by the old man's assault.
Jiang Yan was not to be outdone. Although he didn't know martial arts, he was resourceful and directed the children's actions from the side, making their cooperation more tacit. With the joint efforts of the old man and the children, the bandits gradually couldn't resist and fell to the ground begging for mercy.
"Have mercy! We won't dare to do it again!" the bandits cried.
When the villagers saw the bandits being repelled, they gathered around and praised the old man and the children. "Thanks to you, our village would have been in trouble otherwise!" said a villager gratefully.
"Yes, you are really our heroes!" Other villagers also echoed.
Young Marquis Su, Si Yan, and Nian Li looked at the villagers' grateful eyes, their hearts filled with pride. They knew that their efforts had not been in vain, and that the martial arts they had learned had finally found a place to be put to good use.
The old man looked at the children, his eyes filled with satisfaction. "Children, you have done well. Remember, martial arts are used to protect the weak and uphold justice. No matter where you go in the future, you must uphold this original aspiration."
After this incident, the children became more determined to learn martial arts. They understood that they had the responsibility to protect others and that the power of justice was infinite.
Su Jinli watches the children grow with a surge of emotion. She knows they are gradually maturing on this challenging road, heading towards their own glory. And she will continue to be by their side, witnessing their every step of growth and safeguarding this hard-earned justice and warmth.
In this peaceful mountain village, the children's story continues. They continue to explore and advance on the path of martial arts, interpreting the true meaning of justice and courage through their actions. And the secret hidden in the tea cellar will forever inspire them, guiding them towards a broader world.
