Lin Qiong is a woman with a strong personality. Even being with Li Yifei, and even if she did nothing for the rest of her life, she could still live in luxury. Yet, she did not beco an appendage of Li Yifei. She remained true to herself and still loved being a police officer, with her initial intentions unchanged.
Li Yifei did not dislike Lin Qiong being like this. He was sowhat chauvinistic and wanted his woman to live happily under his care. However, those who liked living that way, he welcod, but he also supported those who wanted their own independent lives. He couldn’t let these won revolve around him just because they were with him.
Just like Xu Shanshan, even when she went to do dangerous things, Li Yifei didn’t stop her. Lin Qiong was just working harder in the career she loved, so naturally, Li Yifei fully supported her.
The next day after breakfast, Li Yifei said to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, let Yiyi take you and your classmates out to play today."
Jiang Ningxiang imdiately said excitedly, "Okay."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you in my room," Li Yifei said and left.
Jiang Ningxiang walked out of the dining room with a few classmates, and a girl teased Jiang Ningxiang ambiguously, "Ningxiang, during the dayti... hehe..."
Jiang Ningxiang’s face turned red, and she retorted, "Don’t get the wrong idea! Brother Li has things he needs
to do."
"Yeah, you two doing things together."
"Be careful not to get pregnant."
The girls, around eighteen or nineteen years old, joked without reservations in the absence of others.
Jiang Ningxiang retorted, "You guys really, I won’t bother with you anymore, just have fun. I won’t have ti to play with you these next few days."
"Go ahead, we support you."
Jiang Ningxiang, unbothered by her classmates’ teasing, excitedly went to the villa where Li Yifei was staying.
"You seem happy," Li Yifei, sitting on the living room sofa, asked Jiang Ningxiang with a smile.
Jiang Ningxiang replied sweetly, "I’m just happy thinking that I’ll be able to help Brother Li with many things and not be a weak little girl anymore."
Li Yifei replied with a smile, "Then let’s begin."
Today, Jiang Ningxiang’s learning pace was about the sa as last night; for almost half a day, she could only feel the True Qi within her, but was clearly far from controlling it.
At noon, Li Yifei told her to stop, and Jiang Ningxiang pouted, "Brother Li, am I too dumb?"
Li Yifei smiled, "Not really, if you can feel it today, it won’t be long before you can control it."
"But I heard you say, Sister Shanshan mastered it very quickly, so I must be really dumb for being so slow."
Li Yifei consoled her, "Martial arts is indeed related to talent, but it’s even more connected to the effort put in afterward. Like in our troops, so people aren’t naturally talented, but because of their efforts, they still excel."
Jiang Ningxiang clenched her small fists, "Brother Li, don’t worry, I will try very hard. I’ll master it soon and won’t embarrass you, so I can start helping you with things."
"Silly girl, I don’t need you to do anything now, just focus on your learning," Li Yifei said and reached toward Jiang Ningxiang’s head in a loving gesture, devoid of any other intention.
Jiang Ningxiang’s body instinctively flinched backward very fast, evading Li Yifei’s hand, which startled him, followed by so embarrassnt. He clarified, "Ningxiang, don’t overthink it, I didn’t an anything else."
Jiang Ningxiang, sowhat flustered, explained, "Brother Li, I... I didn’t an to dodge. It... it’s like an instinctive reaction, I... I was bullied when I was young, so I... just react like this."
"Bullied?" Li Yifei frowned.
Jiang Ningxiang fiddled with the hem of her clothes and said softly, "Yes, when I was fourteen, a neighbor always patted my head, praising
for being smart and pretty, and since we were familiar, I thought he was complinting
and didn’t mind his touches. But one ti, when I was ho alone, after patting my head, he tried... to bully . I struggled desperately, and he didn’t succeed, but since then, anyone touching my head would trigger my instinctive rejection."
Upon hearing this, Li Yifei apologized, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know. But you know I’m not so weird uncle."
Jiang Ningxiang quickly said, "I know, Brother Li truly cares for , and besides, Brother Li, you wouldn’t oppress
like that given how beautiful your sisters-in-law are."
Li Yifei chuckled, "It’s good that you trust . I’ll be more cautious in the future. Now, let’s go out for a al."
As they walked out, Jiang Ningxiang walked slowly. Li Yifei stopped and asked, "Ningxiang, what’s wrong?"
"Brother Li..." Jiang Ningxiang bit her lips, "Brother Li, were you angry just now?"
Li Yifei smiled and said, "No, I’m not that petty."
"Really?"
"Of course, silly girl, let’s go now."
"Brother Li, you are so kind." Jiang Ningxiang’s face blood into a smile, then she cheerfully followed Li Yifei into the courtyard.
During the weekend, Li Yifei was carefully training Jiang Ningxiang, but her progress was slow, which made Li Yifei sowhat anxious. On Sunday, Li Yifei said to Jiang Ningxiang, "Ningxiang, I have an idea, what do you think?"
"Brother Li, I’ll listen to whatever you say."
"I think you should not stay at the school dormitory for a while. In the evenings, you can co and stay here, and during the day when you have school, I’ll arrange for a driver to pick you up and drop you off."
"Really? That ans you can teach
every day?"
"Yes, I also want you to master this Innate Vital Energy soon, otherwise it feels like a waste."
Jiang Ningxiang smiled sweetly, "Okay, I’ll co here every day from now on. My classmates will be so jealous."
Li Yifei chuckled, "Brother Li now makes you a promise, if you always help Brother Li, this place will be your ho."
"Ah!" Jiang Ningxiang’s face suddenly blushed.
Li Yifei rubbed his nose, realizing Jiang Ningxiang had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I didn’t an it that way. Look, we have Shanshan, Xiaofei, and also ngfei who all live here frequently. What I an is, you will be just like them."
Jiang Ningxiang stuck out her tongue shyly and said, "Brother Li, you really scared , I thought you..."
"Hehe, do you think Brother Li is that kind of person?"
"I know Brother Li is not... but... still so many sisters-in-law."
"You’re getting mischievous now."
Li Yifei is now increasingly fond of Jiang Ningxiang, and her attitude also pleases him a lot. If such a gem were taken by soone else, he would regret it imnsely.
The two people he encountered that day, the investigation results ca out. The film company indeed had two people by those nas, but the photos were absolutely not of the two people Li Yifei saw. Obviously, those two were just impersonating the identities of the two from the company.
These two were even more mysterious, making Li Yifei uneasy. After thinking, he called Old Master Su. The old man was clearly busy and didn’t pick up imdiately, calling Li Yifei back in the evening.
"Kid, what’s up?"
"I just wanted to have a chat."
"Don’t flatter , I know you; would you even rember
if you didn’t want sothing?"
"Hehe, I do need a favor actually."
"I knew it. Let’s hear it, this must be no small matter."
"It’s like this, I want to et the expert we saw that day at the senior official’s place. Can you arrange it?"
"You want to see him? What for?"
Li Yifei straightened his attitude and said seriously, "Grandpa, there are so things about kung fu that I don’t understand, and I’d like to seek his guidance."
"I see... I can’t promise anything, but I will inquire for you, and I’ll call you whether it works out or not."
Li Yifei eagerly said, "Great, I’ll be counting on you grandpa. I believe with you handling it, success is certain."
The old man then seriously said, "Don’t butter
up. Actually, I can’t guarantee this. Those people are very idiosyncratic; even my influence might not sway them, so I can only try and ask."
"Alright then, but I still hope it works out. This is about the developnt of the Li family, as I’ve noticed so adversaries with incredibly high skill levels. If I don’t figure it out, I’m afraid I’ll sooner or later fall to their hands."
"Naughty boy, it’s not that grim. Alright, I’ll handle this quickly. Besides, if you have ti, bring ngxin back for a visit; you whisked away my granddaughter, and I haven’t been able to see her often."
"Sure, I’ll take her to visit you soon."
For this matter, Li Yifei took it very seriously. He now needed to better understand experts in Innate Vital Energy. Xu Shanshan was such an expert, but even she didn’t understand it herself, whereas those hidden super experts might, and understanding from them could better equipping Li Yifei to deal with such formidable foes. He might even help enhance Xu Shanshan in the process.
