Although the difference between hidden strength and neutral strength is only one level, it is like the difference between a woman and a man. Although there is only one word difference, they are completely incomparable.
In just a few seconds, the once arrogant Cai Chunhua was knocked to the ground by Liu Xiaoyuan. She clutched her stomach with both hands, her body curled up like a boiled lobster, groaning incessantly.
Cai Qigang stood there like a complete idiot, unable to believe his eyes. This couldn't be real; he must be seeing things.
Cai Qigang rubbed his eyes, then opened them wide and saw that it was his father lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
How could this be? In my eyes, my dad is an absolute hero. How could he be defeated so quickly? Can anyone tell him what happened?
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize your dad lying on the ground?" Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to Cai Qigang and said with a smile, "If you don't recognize him, then lie down too, so you can see him more clearly!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaoyuan kicked Cai Qigang in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.
Although Cai Chunhua was in physical pain, the shock he felt made him even more chilled. After their exchange, Cai Chunhua knew that Liu Xiaoyuan was likely a master of internal energy cultivation; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat him so easily.
As she thought about it, Cai Chunhua felt a chill run from the soles of her feet straight to her Baihui acupoint in her head, and her whole body was surrounded by a cold wind.
Once the pain subsided somewhat, Cai Chunhua immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Master, we were blind and offended you. Please forgive us this time..."
When Cai Qigang and Chen Zhengyi saw Cai Chunhua begging Liu Xiaoyuan for mercy, they were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that they had provoked someone that even their master (father) dared not provoke.
Liu Xiaoyuan looked at the patch of thatch and said, "I can let you go, but it depends on your behavior!"
Cai Chunhua immediately declared, "Master, if you spare us this time, I will definitely perform well, I will definitely perform well."
"Alright!" Liu Xiaoyuan pointed to the patch of thatch and said, "See? This patch of thatch is a breeding ground for poisonous snakes and can also easily cause fires. How about this, the three of you pull out this patch of thatch, consider it a good deed for everyone!"
"Huh!?" Cai Chunhua and the other two were completely dumbfounded. This patch of thatch was at least an acre in size. If it were burned down, that would be quick. But to pull it all out by hand, who knows how long it would take!
"What do you mean? You don't want to? If you don't want to, I don't mind loosening your muscles!" Liu Xiaoyuan said, rubbing his hands together eagerly.
Cai Chunhua immediately shook her head in fright and quickly said no.
"Since you're willing, then hurry up and pull it out for me," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a cold snort.
"Expert, can we buy a pair of gloves to wear before pulling it out?" Cai Chunhua asked.
As everyone knows, the leaves of thatch grass are like saws, and you can easily cut your hand if you're not careful.
Legend has it that Lu Ban invented the saw after cutting his hand on some thatch!
"What do you think?" Liu Xiaoyuan looked at Cai Chunhua with a smile. You old rascal, you've got some pretty good ideas.
Upon seeing the smile on Liu Xiaoyuan's face, Cai Chunhua immediately wilted like a frostbitten eggplant and said, "Let's just pull them out by hand!"
At this moment, Cai Chunhua wanted nothing more than to kick his son and apprentice. If it weren't for those two idiots, he wouldn't be in this predicament. Damn it, everyone says incompetent teammates are a hindrance, but it turns out his son and apprentice are hindrances too!
"Hurry up, time is money, don't force me to do it!" Liu Xiaoyuan urged when he saw that Cai Chunhua and the other two were still unwilling to make a move.
"Dad, are we really going to pull out these weeds?" Cai Qigang was about to cry. He had been pampered since childhood and had never done such work before. Wasn't this going to kill him?
Fearing that her son's words would anger Liu Xiaoyuan, Cai Chunhua glared at Cai Qigang and said, "Just pull it out when I tell you to. Why all the nonsense?"
Chen Zhengyi originally wanted to speak up, but seeing that Cai Qigang had been scolded, he had no choice but to obediently pull up the thatch with his bare hands.
Watching Cai Chunhua and the other two pulling up weeds, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately thought of a children's song called "Pulling Radishes".
In an instant, a fun idea popped into Liu Xiaoyuan's head.
"All three of you, stop for a moment!" Liu Xiaoyuan called out.
Upon hearing this, Cai Chunhua and the other two thought that Liu Xiaoyuan had had a change of heart and was finally stopping them from pulling up the thatch. Although they had only pulled for a short while, all three of their hands had been injured to varying degrees by the thatch.
Cai Chunhua and the other two stared at Liu Xiaoyuan expectantly, waiting for him to announce the good news that they were to be fired.
"Here's the thing, it's too boring for you to keep pulling up thatch like this. Here's what I've come up with: I've composed a song for you. You can sing it while you're pulling up thatch, that way you'll be more motivated and won't be so bored!" Liu Xiaoyuan said loudly.
Upon hearing this, Cai Chunhua and the other two were dumbfounded. Damn it, they thought you had a change of heart and wanted them to get lost, but this is what happened.
Alas! The saddest thing in the world is when you excitedly think you've bought something on sale, only to find out you've been ripped off.
Right now, this is the feeling that Cai Chunhua and the other two have.
"I'll sing it for you once, but you'd better remember it. If you sing it wrong later, don't blame me for being rude!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
