Chapter 133: Cleanse the tendons and marrow together
The next morning, as An Ran opened the door, she saw Lin Huaian, Li Changan and the Yanan brothers standing straight at her door. Hearing the noise of An Ran opening the door, the five people rushed forward and surrounded An Ran.
An Ran looked at the five people in astonishment, covering her forehead helplessly, and said with a smile, pretending to be ignorant.
"Several brothers have been waiting at my door early in the morning. Is there something wrong?
Lin Huaian smiled gently.
"Sorry to bother you, Ranran. We are here to practice martial arts."
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Yadong, who was a lively person, had long lost his patience. God knew how envious he was when he saw Ning'er flying on the wooden sword.
An Ran looked at the anxious people and couldn't help but smile slyly.
"Did cousin Huaizhi and Ning'er tell you that if you want to practice martial arts, you must first cleanse your bones and marrow to improve your physical condition?"
Li Changan looked at An Ran meaningfully. When he saw An Ran's malicious smile, he knew that things were not that simple. So he looked at An Ran seriously and asked.
"Of course, just tell me the truth, what do you need us to do?"
The three Yanan brothers also nodded in agreement.
"Changan is right. Ranran, just tell us what we should do."
"All right."
An Ran put away her smile and took the lead to walk towards the secret room that Grandpa Lin had prepared earlier.
"You guys come with me."
She brought five people to the secret room, motioned for everyone to sit on the mats on the ground, and then began to speak.
"Brothers, if we want to practice the exercises, the first step is to improve our physical condition. Because of the current environment and eating habits, there are many impurities in our bodies, which are no longer suitable for practicing the exercises. What we need to do now is to eliminate the impurities in the body, open up the meridians in the body, and adjust the body to the best condition."
The five of them sat cross-legged on the cushions, staring at An Ran intently and listening to her explanation carefully.
An Ran paused for a moment, seeing that no one had any questions. So, he continued.
"I have spiritual spring water that can improve your physique, but the process of washing your tendons and marrow will be extremely painful, no less painful than having your bones and skin peeled off. You should think carefully about whether you can bear such pain. This kind of pain is definitely beyond your imagination. Of course, you can also practice the exercises directly, but the effect will definitely be unsatisfactory."
An Ran stopped here and looked at the few people with a calm expression. Several people lowered their eyes in thought, and An Ran did not make a sound to disturb them. She gave them the opportunity, it depends on their own choice.
At this time, Lin Huaian raised his eyes to look at An Ran, looked at her seriously and spoke.
"Ranran, have you also experienced this? Ranran, a girl, can bear it, how can I, a grown man, admit defeat?"
“Well said!”
Li Changan also said with a smile as bright as the sun on his face.
"Ran Ran gave us a chance to become the best. If we give up, wouldn't we be fools?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The three Yanan brothers nodded rapidly and spoke in unison.
"Of course, we are not afraid of hardship or pain, but we are afraid of being useless and being looked down upon by everyone."
An Ran looked at the strange glow on the five people's faces and the heat in their eyes, and couldn't help but smile. She took out the spiritual spring water from the space, poured it into the cups on the small table next to her, and gave instructions.
"After drinking the spiritual spring water for a while, the practice will start to take effect. The process takes about one to two days, depending on the individual's physical condition. No measures are required, just grit your teeth and persevere. And the most important thing is that you cannot reveal anything about the spiritual spring water to anyone."
"Don't worry! We know the severity of the situation!"
Several people nodded, picked up their cups and drank them all without hesitation. Yadong smacked his lips and muttered.
"Don't mention it, it tastes pretty good."
An Ran heard this and smiled. Young man, you are still too naive. She stood up and walked to the door of the secret room, then turned around and said to the few people.
"From now on, you will stay here. We will wait outside for you to transform perfectly and emerge from your cocoon into a butterfly."
She closed the door and walked away slowly. This secret room was specially built by Mr. Lin. The sound insulation effect is very good. They can scream at the top of their lungs inside but no one outside can hear them.
Several people in the secret room looked at each other, sitting cross-legged on the cushions in silence. After a while, Yadong broke the silence and spoke.
"I didn't feel any pain, maybe you were just trying to scare us."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if his whole body was being cut by a knife, and it hurt everywhere. He couldn't help but wail.
“Ah…Brother…Brother…It hurts…It hurts so much!”
Yahui's face was covered with sweat at this time, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down his cheeks. He clenched his fists, looked forbearing, and spoke to Yadong through gritted teeth.
"You useless thing, why are you yelling so much? Just bear with it."
Looking at Lin Huaian, Li Changan, Yanan and the other two, they were not much better off. The whole person was wet as if he had just been pulled out of the water.
The veins on Li Changan's forehead bulged, but his face had a sunny smile.
"Ranran really didn't lie to us, but Ranran, a girl, can hold on. We, a few grown men, can't let her outshine us."
"Changan is right."
Lin Huaian exhaled deeply, his teeth clattering. The expressions of the several people were different, and there was pain on their faces. They were all holding their breath, determined not to be outdone by a girl like An Ran. Otherwise, how can I face people in the future?
An Ran walked downstairs happily and came to the living room. Mr. Lin looked at An Ran with a smile on his face while holding a teacup.
"Of course, where are those guys?"
An Ran walked over and sat next to Mr. Lin, smiling mischievously.
"My brothers are in the secret room enjoying the feast I gave them!"
"You are getting more and more naughty, girl. Can they bear it?"
Lin Qingwan, who was cuddling with An Feiwan, couldn't help but scold An Ran when she heard her teasing.
An Ran playfully stuck out her tongue at Lin Qingwan and said with a smile.
"Mom, if they can't even bear this little bit of suffering, how can they fight against people and the heavens in the future?"
"Um……."
Mr. Lin put down the teacup in his hand, nodded and agreed, "Qingwan, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. Ranran is right. Only those who endure hardships can become the best. If we don't work hard to become stronger, we will be at the mercy of others in the future."
"Dad, I just said it casually, and you protected me immediately. I am your precious daughter!" Lin Qingwan said to Grandpa Lin with a helpless look.
Old Master Lin rolled his eyes at her and replied slowly, "You've become successful and are competing with your own daughter for favor."
Lin Qingwan was speechless. She turned her head to look at An Feiwan speechlessly and called out coquettishly, "Guodong..."
"Okay, okay..., even if Dad doesn't love you, I do..." An Feiwan hurriedly took Lin Qingwan's hand and comforted her softly.
Seeing her parents like this, An Ran couldn't help but laugh out loud, and jokingly said, "Dad, then you don't love me anymore?"
"Nannan, Daddy definitely loves you!"
An Feiwan was in a hurry to comfort Lin Qingwan, and then wanted to come over to comfort An Ran. Seeing An Feiwan at a loss, An Ran couldn't help but laugh!
