"I injured my muscles while practicing a few days ago, so I can't use my hands for a month. Otherwise, I would have already sparred with Miss Lin. Old Zhou, you shouldn't decline; just give the younger generation some pointers," Liu Chaowu said, his face showing a hint of embarrassment that quickly faded.
"Unfortunately, I injured my meridians a month ago and also can't spar. Young lady, if you truly want to practice, let's wait until another time," Zhou Zhi replied. He wasn't foolish; he sensed something was off. Liu Chaowu had been urging him to engage, and there had to be more to it. Besides, sparring with Lin Yin offered him no benefits at all. Zhou Zhi was shrewd and would never take risks for something that wouldn't gain him anything.
"Forget it, forget it. You two are so boring," Lin Yin said impatiently as she saw the two old men making excuses.
"Alright, let's stop here. How about we enjoy some tea and listen to a story? Let's find some camaraderie in our gathering and temporarily forget any unpleasantness," Chen Jie Li interjected, seizing the opportunity to change the subject.
As a young girl, Lin Yin could boast all she wanted, but these elders wouldn't dare confront her directly, so there was no need to engage further.
The commotion settled down like that, but Lin Yin remained famous; in contrast, Jiang Chen, her master, went largely unnoticed. It was inevitable; wherever a beauty went, she shone like the sun in the sky, captivating everyone's attention.
Jiang Chen sat at the corner of an octagonal table, sipping tea while gazing out at Yan Gui Lake. The evening clouds were thickening, and the setting sun cast a blood-red hue across the sky. The remaining light spilled over the lake's surface, creating a shimmering effect as a few partridges flew overhead—truly a picturesque scene.
"Liu brother, may I sit here?" Suddenly, Chen Jie Li approached with his grandson Chen Ran.
"Of course you can, President Chen. Please take a seat," Liu Chaowu replied with a smile.
Chen Jie Li sat down with his grandson Chen Ran, who immediately fixed his gaze on Lin Yin. He was deeply attracted to her and encouraged his grandfather to help him gauge Lin Yin's feelings.
Chen Jie Li also held great admiration for Lin Yin. Though she was somewhat arrogant, her skills were impressive. If she could become his granddaughter-in-law, he would be extremely pleased.
Jiang Chen shifted his gaze from Yan Gui Lake to glance at the duo of Chen Jie Li and Chen Ran. He recognized Chen Ran as Wang Duoduo's boyfriend; just yesterday at his godmother's house during dinner, Chu Mei had showcased this prospective son-in-law's photo and praised him extensively—an impression Jiang Chen couldn't easily forget.
After catching up with Liu Chaowu for a while, Chen Jie Li turned his attention to Lin Yin and said with a smile, "Miss Lin, you're quite young yet already possess such remarkable skills. If you participate in this Martial Arts Competition, I'm sure you'll win the championship."
"I'm not interested in the Martial Arts Competition," Lin Yin replied coolly.
"Apart from the Martial Arts Competition, there's also the Martial Arts Arena Tournament. Miss Lin might find it interesting to go up on stage and spar with martial arts experts from across the country," Chen Jie Li continued cheerfully.
"I have some interest in the Martial Arts Arena Tournament," Lin Yin admitted.
"By the way, Miss Lin, may I ask you a personal question? Do you have a boyfriend?" For his grandson's sake, Chen Jie Li decided to be bold.
"Of course not! President Chen, why are you asking this?" Lin Yin shot back with wide eyes, clearly annoyed.
