Shi Xi bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Master Lin."
Master Lin looked at Shi Xi with satisfaction in his eyes and asked, "Have you studied martial arts before?"
Shi Xi said, "I've learned a little."
Master Lin asked, "How many years have you studied?"
Shi Xi thought for a moment and replied, "I started learning when I was five years old. I learned a wide variety of things back then, including swordsmanship and movement techniques."
"Not bad, not bad." Master Lin praised Shi Xi again, "Learning martial arts must start from a young age. Without five years, one simply cannot understand the 'essence, energy, and spirit' of martial arts."
Pei Kai has been ignored ever since he introduced the two.
Moreover, he couldn't get a word in edgewise.
Pei Kai wasn't one to talk much, but seeing the two chatting so well, he suggested, "Master, Instructor Shi Xi, it's windy outside, why don't we go inside and talk?"
Master Lin was very fond of the new girl and waved his hand, saying, "Go and bring two cups of tea. I'd like to have a little spar with the girl."
Girl Shi Xi: ...
That's outrageous.
"A friendly spar?" Pei Kai paused for a moment, then said, "This is Instructor Shi Xi's first day here."
Master Lin: "I know what I'm doing."
Pei Kai had no choice but to serve tea and water.
Anyway, he usually does these kinds of odd jobs.
This episode received a very positive response after it aired.
Everyone came to watch Shi Xi box with the expectation of making a fool of herself, but they didn't expect that Shi Xi would perform so standardly and beautifully.
The fight scene between Shi Xi and Master Lin was not included in the final cut after further consideration.
They're in the business of producing variety shows; they shouldn't promote a fighting culture.
...
When Master Lin first made his move, it was still a tentative one.
Once they realized that Xi Neng could keep up, they quickened their pace and their attacks became increasingly fierce.
Shi Xi remained fearless, using her footwork to block and counterattack at the same time.
Martial arts were originally used for offense and defense; they were techniques for killing.
Ruthless and decisive.
However, we now live in a society governed by the rule of law, which prohibits fighting and brawling. With the advent of firearms, martial arts are becoming increasingly difficult to sustain, hence the call for physical fitness.
The two stopped there.
Before Pei Kai finished pouring the tea, they each took a step back.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight. Little girl, you must have been learning for a long time, right?" Master Lin laughed heartily.
“I studied for a very long time,” Shi Xi said, her eyes crinkling.
"Well, why not—never mind, let's go have some tea." Master Lin sighed, thinking about the difficulties of passing on ancient martial arts, and stopped talking about it.
The two entered the hall, and Pei Kai poured tea for them.
One was his mentor when he participated in the talent show, and the other was his martial arts school master.
Okay, he's just a junior.
Upon entering the living room, Shi Xi noticed the coldness inside. Although it was very hot, she dared not take off her down jacket.
I'm afraid of making myself sick.
When Master Lin saw that Shi Xi's face was flushed, he said, "Turn on the air conditioner."
Pei Kai: ?
Master Lin said, "We have guests, so please make sure they are comfortable."
Pei Kai: "...Okay."
You didn't say that before, curator!
On their first day with the air conditioning on, the owner punished them by making them stand in a horse stance for half an hour.
Shi Xi just came over to box with him, and then the air conditioning could be turned on?
Pei Kai wondered if he should practice with Master Lin sometime.
Shi Xi said, "Just call me Xi Xi, Master."
The little girl sounds like a baby who can't speak yet.
"Where is Xixi from?" Master Lin asked.
Fengcheng.
"Do you have a boyfriend yet? Oh right, it seems like people in your line of work find partners late." Back in normal life, Master Lin is no different from any other elder.
After turning on the air conditioner, Shi Xi took off her down jacket and hung it on the clothes rack next to her.
Suddenly, a man opened a door from the side and entered the hall.
"Holy crap! Who turned on the air conditioner?! Turn it off right now! Don't let the owner find out!"
