Chapter 16 Hidden Edge (Sixteen)



The Qu family is different from other martial arts families. Most of them are supported by financial groups, but the Qu family is a large enterprise. The ancestor of the Qu family passed down the family business and martial arts secrets to two descendants. The one with good physique practiced martial arts, and the one with average physique did business. The two brothers supported each other, which made the Qu family not need to be controlled by other financial groups.

By the time of Qu Lian's father, Qu Yan was a martial artist. He became a senior member of the Wushu Association at a young age, and with the support of his elder brother Qu Feng, he became the most popular candidate for the next president. Originally, the Qu family should have been on the rise, but when Qu Lian was five years old, someone assassinated his father. The assassin was a very skilled martial artist with strange body movements. There is no such a skilled martial artist on the Wushu Association register. Qu Yan and his wife were both killed. Qu Lian, who was only five years old, survived under the protection of his father, but was hit by the assassin's internal force and suffered internal injuries. From then on, he could no longer practice martial arts.

If that were the case, the Qu family could still be saved. Qu Lian had an older brother who had been learning martial arts from his father since he was young. He was very skilled at a young age. Qu Yan had already passed on all the martial arts of the family to his older brother. During the assassination attempt, his older brother escaped because he was out of town, and the Qu family was not seriously injured. However, when Qu Lian was fifteen years old, his older brother was also stabbed to death. Qu Lian was also there at the time. He was thrown into the cold river by his older brother in winter and saved his life, but he caught a cold because he had been soaking in the ice water for five hours.

The Qu family's unique martial arts skills have always been passed down orally. Qu Lian did not receive the true teachings, and his eldest brother was assassinated. From then on, no one in the Qu family was able to practice martial arts. Qu Lian also became a playboy who lived on dividends and spent his days doing nothing.

But the young master is genuine, but Huahua may not be.

When he was five, both his parents died. When he was fifteen, his eldest brother died tragically. When he was twenty-five, he was in danger of another death. If possible, Qu Lian hoped that he would be the one to die this time, so that the Qu family martial arts would have no successor, as long as his uncle would not be implicated.

Even though Qu Lian didn't say anything about these things, outsiders knew a thing or two. And since Yan Changge became Qu Lian's bodyguard, he had also heard a little bit. Combined with Qu Lian's own fate, Yan Changge guessed most of it.

Now hearing Qu Lian say that the Qu family's martial arts had been lost, he didn't know what to feel in his heart, which was made of iron. He just felt that Qu Lian's smile was a little uncomfortable, so he disrespectfully reached out his hand and pinched his employer's face, forcibly pulling the corners of his lips flat.

Qu Lian: “…”

"It may not be lost," Yan Changge said calmly, "Don't you have a soul-stealing... camera? Didn't your father and brother ever record their martial arts training?"

Qu Lian slapped Yan Changge's hand away, rubbed his face, and dared not force a smile anymore, and replied: "Yes, there are, but they are not martial arts moves, but mental methods. The martial arts moves of the Qu family are just appearances. Without the coordination of internal strength and mental methods, they are meaningless. My cousin and uncle have learned basic steps and moves, but the same moves, with and without mental methods, are completely two different martial arts."

Otherwise, even if Qu Feng had no qualifications, he would force himself and his son to practice martial arts, at least to preserve the legacy and wait for a better person to appear in the next generation.

"That's what I'm talking about," Yan Changge said, "Experienced people should be able to find out the way to the mind method from the comparison between the two."

What Yan Changge meant by having experience was that one had at least witnessed hundreds of martial arts, been immersed in them for years, and was familiar with the operation of various mental methods. Only when one had been immersed in martial arts for at least hundreds of years could one be considered experienced.

Qu Lian glanced at Yan Changge, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, but more of disbelief: "You should just be a good bodyguard. I want to enjoy myself for two more years."

After saying that, he took out a few cans of beer from the refrigerator and started drinking by himself.

It is always easy to get drunk when drinking when you are in a bad mood. Qu Lian has a poor physical condition and no inner strength to support him. His alcohol tolerance is very average. In addition, he is in a bad mood and just wants to get drunk. He only drinks two or three cans of beer and gets drunk. Fortunately, he has a good alcohol tolerance. After getting drunk, he does not act crazy, but likes to hug people.

Yan Changge dodged several times, but seeing that Qu Lian was still determined to hug him, he withdrew the sword energy around him and allowed Qu Lian to hug his waist.

"It feels so cool..." Qu Lian pressed his face against Yan Changge's chest. His cheeks, which were hot from drunkenness, pressed against the chest that was as cold as iron. He felt so comfortable that he was reluctant to let go.

Qu Lian fell asleep while leaning against Yan Changge. After falling asleep, he sneezed because of the coldness on Yan Changge's chest. Yan Changge didn't want him to catch a cold, so he picked him up and put him on the bed in the bedroom.

Who knew that when they got to the bed, Qu Lian still refused to let go, and said a few flowery words "Beauty, sleep with me", and kissed Yan Changge's chest twice, while kissing him, he said "Where did the iron pillar come from?"

Qu Lian was too good-looking, and even more charming when drunk. Being pestered by him like this, straight men would probably be distracted. But Yan Changge was unmoved. After putting her on the bed, he didn't react at all even though Qu Lian was rubbing against him in his arms.

After making a lot of noise, Qu Lian felt tired and fell asleep with his head resting on Yan Changge's arm.

When he woke up the next morning, Qu Lian touched his neck and said with an uncomfortable look on his face, "Did I use an ice pillow last night? Why do I have a headache like I caught a cold?"

Yan Changge looked at him expressionlessly and silently withdrew his arm.

Qu Lian then saw a living person lying next to him. He was stunned for a moment, then looked down at himself and Yan Changge. Their clothes...were all dressed neatly. Well, even if they were not neat, so what? He could still have sex after drinking.

Apart from a little reaction when Yan Changge "treated" him that day, Qu Lian still didn't feel anything after that. He wanted Yan Changge to treat him again, but he didn't want to repeat the embarrassing scene of that day, so he kept silent.

Although it is frustrating to not feel anything, I don't have to worry about doing something I'll regret after drinking too much, which sometimes makes me feel relieved.

"Sorry, your hands are numb, right?" Qu Lian said with a smile.

"Not bad." Yan Changge got out of bed. He only took off his shoes and lay there all night in his trousers and shirt without even untying his belt.

Qu Lian pinched his brows, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said, "I'm going to take a shower, you can use the bathroom downstairs, and order breakfast by the way, I want to drink some porridge."

These days, Qu Lian did teach Yan Changge some basic life knowledge, such as how to take a bath and how to use a mobile phone. However, Qu Lian did not have much patience and left Yan Changge alone after teaching for a while. Yan Changge only learned some basic life skills. Taking a bath was no problem, but as for ordering food and paying with a mobile phone, it was too difficult for Yan Changge, as he had not yet learned all the simplified Chinese characters.

Yan Changge was originally a monk, he didn't eat grains and didn't touch the worldly dust, his body was always clean, so naturally he didn't need to take a bath. He threw his clothes into the washing machine (the hourly worker was responsible for washing), changed into a more casual set of clothes, took some pocket money given by Qu Lian, and went out.

There is a 24-hour fast food restaurant outside the community. Yan Changge feels it is more convenient to go out and buy food rather than ordering takeout with his mobile phone.

Qu Lian soaked herself in the bathtub, and the memories of the previous night came back to her little by little. She could not help but cover her head again when she remembered how she had held on to Yan Changge and refused to let go, and even insisted on kissing him.

He usually did the same when he went out to hang out and got drunk, but could the people he called in from outside be the same as Yan Changge? Yan Changge was the only person who had seen him react, and the only person who knew about his "three minutes". If he mentioned this in front of him, it would simply be another embarrassment.

And he also vaguely remembered that he hugged Yan Changge like that and touched him several times in places that he shouldn't have touched, but Yan Changge didn't react at all and his expression was always so cold!

A pure straight man? Or is he just like me...

Qu Lian scratched his wet hair. Although he thought the second scenario was impossible, he couldn't help but start to hope that Yan Changge was in the second scenario. Because only in this way could his embarrassment turn into sympathy.

Well, you can actually give it a try.

Yan Changge bought some porridge and snacks, and when he was walking back with his takeaway box, he saw a skinny stray dog ​​staring at people coming and going. But the stray dog ​​didn't dare to approach people, and when someone approached it, it ran away first.

No matter how small the merit is, it is still a merit... With this thought in mind, Yan Changge took out a meat bun, broke it open, gently placed it on the ground, and stepped back two steps.

The stray dog ​​took a few tentative steps forward, and feeling that Yan Changge had no ill intentions, he limped towards the buns, sniffed them, and finding they were not hot, he wolfed them down.

When the stray dog ​​ate the buns, a small amount of merit floated to Yan Changge. In the face of heaven, all beings are equal, and saving a person and saving a dog will earn the same merit. And this stray dog ​​was obviously more grateful than a human, so Yan Changge received a large amount of gratitude merit.

Yan Changge, feeling a little better, strode back, but he sensed something was following him. Turning back, he saw the stray dog ​​limping after him.

Yan Changge did not stop the dog from following him, but when they reached the gate of the community, the dog stopped following him. It avoided the security guard from a distance and only slowly left after watching Yan Changge walk away.

Yan Changge was carrying porridge back home. Qu Lian had just finished a shower and was wandering around the house with only a towel tied around his waist. Seeing Yan Changge carrying food upstairs, he subconsciously wanted to pull on a piece of clothing, but he resisted.

He threw the towel on his head aside, his wet hair scattered around his ears, and said to Yan Changge casually: "Why don't you order food with your phone? It's too much trouble to go out and buy it."

"It's okay. Just move your body." Yan Changge's gaze swept over Qu Lian calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes.

The author has something to say:

---------

Qu Lian: Maybe Yan Changge is a Yang X like me, let me give it a try!

Qu Lian asked several women to perform a stripping dance, but Yan Changge remained unmoved.

Qu Lian asked several men to perform a striptease, but Yan Changge remained unmoved.

Qu Lian found a bunch of good resources and forced Yan Changge to watch them with him every day, and the two of them were unmoved.

Qu Lian: Yan Changge is indeed the same as me. I let you laugh at me, but it turns out I am the same, hahahahaha…

One day, Qu Lian took out a sword passed down from his family and put the scabbard aside. At this time, Yan Changge picked up the scabbard with a strange expression: What a nice scabbard, I really want to insert my sword into it!

Qu Lian: …

Phew, the image of top and bottom was completely destroyed by me in the little theater, phew…
