After confirming that the filming was over, Xiao He and Pu Rong walked and chatted as they returned to the dressing room that their crew had temporarily rented.
"Pu Rong!"
A strong male voice called out to Pu Rong.
Pu Rong was startled and turned his head to look. Sure enough, he saw his grand-uncle.
"Grandmaster Uncle, you've worked hard today too."
Pu Rong immediately put on a fawning smile.
"Hello, Senior Ma."
Xiao He also greeted them.
An elderly man arrived, with gray hair, looking to be about seventy years old. He was wearing a very ordinary T-shirt and exercise pants, looking much like an old man taking a stroll in the park, except that he was in very good spirits and showed no signs of old age.
Ma Hongwu, who played the "elderly thief catcher" in the previous scene, is actually not an actor, but a real martial arts master who owns his own martial arts school in China. By seniority, he should be Pu Rong's grand-uncle.
Xiao He had previously heard Pu Rong say that this senior Ma was quite famous in martial arts. He had served as a member of the Chinese Sports Federation and the chairman of the Chinese Martial Arts Association. He had taught in many places, and his students were spread across more than 20 provinces and cities. He was also very famous internationally and was a respected senior in the industry.
About ten years ago, the old man gradually retired. He usually only managed the martial arts school he ran and rarely participated in martial arts-related competitions and activities.
Even Pu Rong himself rarely had contact with this old man.
But for some reason, the old man suddenly asked to come to their small film crew and play a cannon fodder role.
When they learned about this, not only were the crew members shocked, but even the other members of Pu Rong's sect were shocked.
That's a national martial arts treasure! How could someone be so foolish as to play a supporting role to a junior? It's practically a ghost story!
But it did happen.
And it happened right before everyone's eyes.
Pu Rong didn't know what his grandmaster was thinking, but he didn't dare to ask. Every time he saw Ma Hongwu, he would greet him cautiously, afraid that Ma Hongwu might be dissatisfied and tell his master later.
Then Pu Rong is doomed!
However, no matter what Pu Rong did, Ma Hongwu seemed dissatisfied. This time, he glared at Pu Rong with a look of utter disappointment, which made the bewildered Pu Rong shrink back and ask, "Master, Grandmaster Uncle?"
What did he do to offend this person?
"snort--"
Ma Hongwu snorted coldly, then looked at Xiao He: "Young friend Xiao's boning knife technique is truly excellent. Is it really inconvenient for you to tell me about your master?"
Xiao He sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, Senior Ma, I really can't say."
With his instant mastery, where are you going to find a mentor for him?
This old man has been pestering him every day lately, which is really giving him a headache.
Fortunately, the old man finished filming today and is leaving soon, so we won't have to see each other again.
“Uncle, please don’t make things difficult for Xiao He.” Pu Rong also explained on Xiao He’s behalf, “Isn’t it normal to ask to conceal one’s lineage for such a rare sword technique? Uncle doesn’t really want to learn it, so why pry into it?”
Ma Hongwu: "..."
He glanced at the young man sideways and snorted coldly, "The younger generation of martial arts practitioners these days is truly getting worse with each generation."
You can't even see through this deadly sword technique? You've wasted all those years of studying!
What Xiao He and Pu Rong didn't know was that Ma Hongwu's visit to the film crew this time was indeed because of Xiao He.
When Pu Rong returned to the martial arts school to recruit actors, Ma Hongwu happened to be there and inadvertently saw Xiao He's swift and skillful bone-scraping knife technique, which greatly shocked him.
As a master in the martial arts world, his judgment was naturally accurate. This boning knife technique was not just for show; it was a truly deadly knife technique! It basically required practice to master!
Based on Xiao He's current strength, he definitely couldn't have mastered this swordsmanship without killing dozens of people.
So Xiao He... I'm afraid he has a big problem!
Thinking that this is now a new society, yet such scoundrels have emerged in their martial arts, Ma Hongwu couldn't sit still for a moment. He immediately called Pu Rong to come to this small film crew to play cannon fodder supporting roles.
However, after observing Xiao He for so long, Ma Hongwu did not find any problems with him.
