"I didn't give Song Jian any individual pointers, but he was very attentive and remembered everything I said. Besides, there's a huge difference in your physical strength; without some skill, you'd be crushed in no time, wouldn't you?"
"For a power-type fighter like you, it's all about hard skills. This is your advantage, but also your obvious weakness. The longer the fight goes on, the more stamina you'll expend. So when you encounter an opponent, try to finish the fight quickly and don't drag it out."
The two bear brothers, Big Bear and Little Bear, are both suited to practicing hard kung fu; the muscles on their shoulders alone are enough to impress anyone.
Listening to Mo Lan's suggestion, Xiong Da nodded, "Boss is right. Song Jian is just taking advantage of my weakness of not being able to last long, that's why he's dragging me down."
Song Jian twitched his lips and grinned, "Then I'll listen to the boss and make things quick next time."
Mo Lan looked at the two of them and shook her head speechlessly. They were playing mind games with Song Jian, and Song Jian had sold the two brothers off without them even realizing it.
Thinking of Song Jian's tactics just now, Mo Lan offered a few additional suggestions based on his personal characteristics, asking him to improve them. Only then did she pat her clothes and stand up.
"Alright, you guys play by yourselves, I'm going back to get some sleep."
"Respectfully seeing off our leader."
A group of mischievous kids were laughing and causing trouble, but Mo Lan ignored them and walked straight into the mountain gate.
Only after Mo Lan's figure disappeared inside the gate did Xiong Yanyan emerge from behind a large tree, her face filled with complex emotions.
She's only been gone for six months, how could Hua Molan have changed so much?
Did she have some extraordinary encounter?
"Do you think Hua Molan was switched with someone else?"
Although Shanzi, who was standing beside him, also looked puzzled, he was absolutely certain that he would not mistake the young lady's face.
"Second Miss, it seems the rumors are true. The Eldest Miss is not the same as before."
Xiong Yanyan paused for a moment, clenched her fist, and after a long while, she snorted indignantly, "No matter how much things change, we're still stuck here as bandits for the rest of our lives."
"What you say is true, Miss. Madam has already promised you that as long as you are willing to return to your maternal grandparents' home, she will definitely find you a suitable husband when you reach the appropriate age."
Shanzi had lived with the second young lady in the Song family for half a year, and was already familiar with the pomp and circumstance of those aristocratic families. The kind of status that was respected wherever they went made people envious.
Hearing Shanzi's reminder, Xiong Yanyan finally felt a little better. She turned her head and looked at her two older brothers, who were fighting fiercely in the martial arts training ground. Remembering her mother's instructions, she felt angry.
"My mother wanted me to persuade my two older brothers to go to the Song family, but my two silly brothers simply wouldn't listen. I'm afraid my mother's idea will be in vain."
She tentatively mentioned it yesterday, but her second brother told her to shut up without even asking about their mother's condition.
Shanzi stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. "Second Miss should explain the benefits of going to the Song family to the two young masters in detail. As long as they understand that they will have many servants and be respected by everyone once they go to the Song family, they might agree."
As Shanzi spoke, his eyes flickered. He was a man, and even if he went to the Song family with the second young lady, he would at most be an ordinary servant. But if the two young masters went, he would definitely be their personal attendant.
He knew how prestigious the servants around the young masters of the Song family were; their behavior, food, and clothing were all superior to those of ordinary servants.
Hearing Shanzi's reminder, Xiong Yanyan felt aggrieved. She had tried to bring it up several times in the past few days, but her eldest and second eldest brothers had stopped her, showing no concern for her maternal grandparents.
