Ye Weiwei said without any politeness, "That's right, I'm the kind of person who will eat anything but suffer a loss."
Long Lan was envious.
Despite her grandfather being a high-ranking official, she was treated with great courtesy and even indulgence by most people around her since childhood because of her grandfather's influence. However, it was precisely because of this status that she could not be as unrestrained with Ye Weiwei as she was often, and she had to constantly remind herself what she could and could not do.
The Huo family's impression of Long Lan improved immediately, especially when they chatted with her and heard about the interesting things she did in the countryside during those two years. This made them feel very close to her, and their relationship naturally became much closer.
After talking with Liu Guilan, Su Xuemei, and Zhao Lingdang, Long Lan felt that these people were honest and upright, and she respected the Huo family's character even more.
Long Lan came to challenge Ye Weiwei to a duel. After chatting for a while, she couldn't wait to drag Ye Weiwei to the small playground in the military compound.
As a result, the two returned in less than fifteen minutes.
Ye Weiwei wore a faint smile, while Long Lan behind her looked sullen.
Su Xuemei and Zhao Lingdang originally wanted to ask who won, but seeing the situation, they both swallowed their words.
However, the children from Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan, oblivious to social cues, immediately surrounded the two of them with great joy upon their return.
Xiaoshan: "Auntie, did you beat Aunt Long?"
Xiao Chuan immediately started flattering her: "Little Aunt, you're the best!"
Xiaochun and Xiaxia looked at Ye Weiwei with admiration.
Long Lan felt even more choked up.
She ruffled Xiaoshan and Xiaochuan's hair with one hand each, deliberately saying fiercely, "Who told you that your aunt won? I was clearly better!"
Xiao Shan tilted his head and looked at Long Lan: "Impossible! My aunt is the most powerful person in the world! You definitely can't beat her."
Xiao Chuan covered his head with both hands and nodded vigorously: "Auntie, you're the best!"
Xiaochun looked at Longlan and analyzed seriously: "Auntie came back with a smile, but you came back with a sour face. It's obvious that you lost and are unhappy."
Xia said, "My aunt has beaten up many, many bad people."
Xiao Qiu had a candy in her mouth and nodded along, slurping it out.
Even Xiao Yunshu chimed in, shouting, "Mom!"
Longlan: ...
That's so heartbreaking!
She feigned a fierce tone and said, "Your aunt is simply not human!"
She has always been proud of her skills; her abilities are top-notch, not only among women but also among men.
To everyone's surprise, she couldn't even last twenty rounds against Ye Weiwei.
Thinking about how Ye Weiwei had thrown her three times on the playground, she felt pain all over her body.
"Tell me, how exactly did you train? Did Qin Xiao give you special training?"
She could only think of Qin Xiao, after all, Qin Xiao was a man of unparalleled bravery in the army.
Ye Weiwei shrugged and said in a tone that was infuriating, "Oh, I was just practicing casually. I guess that's what talent is."
Long Lan was so angry she wanted to bite someone.
"No way! This is your home turf today, and I didn't perform well. Let's change the venue and have another match another day."
Although she suffered a crushing defeat, Long Lan learned a lot from Ye Weiwei and still gained a great deal.
"Alright."
Ye Weiwei didn't care. She quite liked Long Lan's personality. It was nice to have someone to keep her company and help her stretch her muscles.
"Come up with me, I'll put some medicated oil on you."
Long Lan didn't mince words. She rubbed her sore arm and followed Ye Weiwei upstairs, complaining, "You're really heartless. I haven't been able to use my arm for days. I don't know where you get so much strength from your small frame."
After settling Longlan in the guest room, Ye Weiwei went to the bedroom and returned with a bottle of medicated oil and a yellowed book.
She tossed the book to Long Lan, then lifted Long Lan's clothes, poured some medicated oil into her palm, rubbed it to warm it, and applied it to Long Lan's arm.
Long Lan curiously picked up the book "Physical Skills," opened it, and was immediately captivated.
He didn't even care about the injury on his arm.
"Ye Weiwei, this...this is the move you were just using..."
She gestured excitedly a couple of times.
Ye Weiwei patted her arm, "Behave yourself, I'm applying medicated oil!"
Long Lan said nonchalantly, "Why bother with medicated oil? I'm not that delicate!"
She had no time to worry about her minor injury; her mind was completely absorbed by what she was holding.
Ye Weiwei: "I didn't pay attention to my strength just now, and I hit you a little too hard. If you don't rub the wound on your arm, it will hurt for at least ten days to half a month."
"Oh, okay then." Long Lan replied perfunctorily, her eyes glued to the physical technique.
After Ye Weiwei finished applying the ointment, Long Lan had already quickly flipped through the book in her hand, looking at Ye Weiwei excitedly: "This thing is a real treasure! No wonder you're so amazing, you even have a martial arts manual!"
Ye Weiwei: "I found this by chance at a scrap yard when I went to the countryside. However, it is very difficult to learn all the moves in this book. I have practiced with Qin Xiao and my second brother Ye Huaijin, and they have mastered about 60 or 70 percent of them."
"Six or seven out of ten are that amazing!" Long Lan's eyes burned even brighter as she looked at the book after hearing Ye Weiwei's words.
"Can I learn it?"
Ye Weiwei said, "I wouldn't have taken it out if I didn't want you to learn it. I'll make you some pills in a couple of days to strengthen your body and improve your physical condition. If you take them before you learn this, you'll be able to improve faster."
Upon hearing that there were pills to aid cultivation, Long Lan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Ye Weiwei as if she were a treasure: "Ye Weiwei, thank you! How much are those pills? I'll pay you."
Ye Weiwei looked at Long Lan with a half-smile, making Long Lan's heart skip a beat, and she asked hesitantly, "Is it very expensive?"
Ye Weiwei: "Oh, it's not particularly expensive. It's just that a foreigner bought seven of them from me for 8,000 yuan each. Later, his friend offered 10,000 yuan to buy them, but I didn't sell them to him."
Long Lan exclaimed in surprise: "Eight thousand yuan! For one?!"
Ye Weiwei seemed oblivious to the despair in Long Lan's eyes, and added nonchalantly, "Eight thousand yuan—M gold!"
"puff!"
Long Lan felt like vomiting blood!
She looked at Ye Weiwei with a mournful expression. Was this pill a golden egg?
"Um, I... I think I'll pass on the pills."
I can't afford it!
Ye Weiwei is such a wicked person; she deliberately said it to tempt her.
All her savings combined couldn't buy one.
Ye Weiwei was amused by the expressive face of Long Lan. "Eight thousand yuan is the price we sell it to foreigners for. I'll give you a discount."
Long Lan swallowed hard: "Then, how much?"
She planned to go back and discuss it with her grandfather to see if she could use some of the money her parents left her to buy the pills.
