Chapter 731 The Legacy Within the Patina
Sunlight filtered through the off-white gauze curtains into the bedroom, casting a gentle yet inescapable halo of light on the messy bed.

Upon waking, Gao Dongxu lay on his side, smiling as he looked at Huang Yanyan, who wore rabbit ears and whose long, black hair covered the pillow. A few strands of hair clung to her neck and cheeks, outlining a withered beauty like that of a begonia after a rain.

Looking at Huang Yanyan's delicate, small, and naturally smooth oval face, which seemed to have been carefully sculpted, she exuded a youthful charm.

Her high, straight nose added dimension to her face, making her facial features more defined.

Viewed from the side, her perfectly proportioned nose bridge makes her profile look exceptionally beautiful, as exquisite as a sculpture from Greek mythology.

Her full, luscious lips added to her allure. The natural, rosy color of her lips resembled ripe cherries, vibrant and inviting. Her slightly upturned lips always carried a sweet smile, radiating a joy to behold.

Huang Yanyan, who transforms into a beautiful rabbit, truly possesses both the innocence of a young girl and the mature sexiness, perfectly blending the two to create a unique charm that drives him to utter madness and transform into a werewolf.

Gao Dongxu leaned forward and kissed her on the cheek—just a kiss on the lips... After all, he hadn't brushed his teeth that morning, and his breath still smelled sweet.

Of course, the more important factor is whether tigers are poisonous...

After getting up, washing up in the bathroom, and getting dressed, Huang Yanyan left the bedroom, unsure how long she would sleep.

Where's Yanyan?

In the living room on the first floor, Huang Kewu, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Gao Dongxu walking down the stairs alone and asked him with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

"Still sleeping." Gao Dongxu walked downstairs and said with a faint smile, then asked the butler standing to the side, "Is there any breakfast left?"

"Yes, we'll have it brought up right away—" the butler replied immediately with a smile, glancing at Huang Kewu.

After Huang Kewu nodded slightly, the butler quickly left. Gao Dongxu sat down on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and looked at Huang Kewu, asking, "When are you planning to return to Beijing?"

"I originally planned to leave today, but it's almost noon and Yanyan still hasn't started cooking, so I guess I'll have to leave tomorrow," Huang Kewu said irritably.

"Hehe, because we're going to be separated, we've become a bit temperamental," Gao Dongxu laughed.

"..." Huang Kewu had an urge to rush up and punch Gao Dongxu hard.

He's still not awake. He didn't even go downstairs for dinner last night. He has no idea what his precious granddaughter has been done to by this brat.

"Yanyan is still young and can't get pregnant yet, so please be careful. When we go back this time, I'm going to step down from the spotlight, and Yanyan will officially take over the family business."

Gao Dongxu smiled nonchalantly and said, "I know."

When Huang Kewu heard Gao Dongxu agree so readily, he breathed a sigh of relief and his gaze softened as he said, "You eat first. After you finish eating, I have something to tell you privately."

"Oh?" Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly, but seeing that Huang Kewu was keeping him in suspense, he didn't press the matter.

Half an hour later, Gao Dongxu finished his sumptuous and exquisite Hong Kong-style morning tea and followed Huang Kewu to the villa's viewing platform.

Under the bright and dazzling sunlight, Huang Kewu moved swiftly, his light blue Tang suit fluttering in the breeze, and his palm strike was already aimed at his face.

Gao Dongxu, raising an eyebrow slightly, remained calm and composed. He raised his forearm and gently blocked the attack, like a willow branch blocking a river, neutralizing seven-tenths of the fierce force. He raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Bagua Palm—you want to spar with me?"

"To be precise, it's Xingyi Bagua Palm—" Before Huang Kewu finished speaking, his aura suddenly became sharp and fierce, like a sword drawn from its sheath. His left palm made a feint like a dragon swinging its tail, while his right palm, with the force of splitting a mountain, went straight for the center. It was the killing move of Xingyi Bagua—Dragon Form Piercing Hand!
Gao Dongxu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he abruptly lowered his waist as if rooted to the ground. With a muffled "thud," he actually met the palm strike head-on with a Bajiquan elbow strike, and both of their sleeves billowed without wind. Before he could recover, Gao Dongxu changed his move with lightning speed, using a twisting hand technique from his eyebrow fist to strike Huang Kewu's pulse point, like a white snake coiling around bamboo.

Huang Kewu chuckled, his Bagua Steps moving like lotus leaves turning and spinning, as he dodged the grappling and unleashed a barrage of Xingyi Bengquan punches.

Gao Dongxu suddenly used the Bajiquan technique "Mountain Leaning," his shoulders and back striking the fist like a mountain, while his right fist secretly thrust at his ribs with the "White Eyebrow Lantern Hand"—this combination of light and dark attacks was like a hidden reef in a raging storm!
Seeing the killing blow approaching, Huang Kewu seemed to have anticipated it. He stepped back swiftly with his Bagua Step, landing on the Xun position, and then unleashed a Xingyi Palm strike that cleaved towards his opponent's center line like a giant axe splitting a mountain. The fierce palm wind forced Gao Dongxu's hair to fly wildly, forcing him to retreat and parry. The sound of their fists and palms clashing was like pearls falling on a jade plate, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten moves had been exchanged.

Sunlight shone on Huang Kewu's forehead, turning the fine sweat on his forehead into golden light and shattered jade. The fierce offense and defense just now froze at this moment - Huang Kewu's Bagua Palm was only three inches away from Gao Dongxu's throat, while Gao Dongxu's White Eyebrow Finger was no more than half a palm's distance from his heart.

"Sigh, I'm really getting old—" Huang Kewu withdrew his hand with a complicated look, looked at Gao Dongxu who was smiling but hadn't shown his true skills at all, and sighed softly.

“This has nothing to do with whether you’re old or not. Although you’ve cultivated internal energy, the gap between us is too great. I’m just sparring with you to warm up your muscles. If it really comes down to a fight, you can’t withstand a single move from me,” Gao Dongxu said bluntly without giving any face.

Huang Kewu's lips twitched, and he snorted coldly. Although he knew that Gao Dongxu was extremely skilled in martial arts, he had fought all over Beijing and Tianjin in the past and rarely suffered a defeat. Naturally, he was very unhappy to be told that he couldn't even withstand a single move.

Gao Dongxu laughed and said, "You called me up here just to spar with me, didn't you?"

Huang Kewu looked at Gao Dongxu, his expression turning solemn, and asked, "Do you know what is most important for a family like the Huang family, which has a history of two or three hundred years?"

Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "Of course, it's about inheritance."

Huang Kewu looked at Gao Dongxu with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "That's right, it's about inheritance. The inheritance of a family is like a fine antique."

It has been nurtured and refined by many generations, accumulating silently over a long period of time.

Gradually, this heritage, like an antique, will be covered with a layer of deep, mature patina, calm and warm, exuding an ancient aura.

Antiques are tangible, but their inheritance is intangible. They cannot be seen or touched, yet they permeate the very bones and blood of every descendant of the family, becoming a spiritual bond between family members, and even a part of their character and destiny.

At this point, Huang Kewu looked at Gao Dongxu with a complicated expression and said, "In my life, I, Huang Kewu, have three treasures: the Huang family's appraisal manual, Yan Yan, and this set of Xingyi Baguazhang skills."

The Huang family's appraisal secrets had already been passed down to Yanyan. Because Yanyan was a girl, limited by her body and talent, I only taught her Xingyi Quan from a young age.

Today, I want to pass on the complete Xingyi Baguazhang to you, so that you and Yanyan can pass it on to their son in the future.”

"Okay." Although Gao Dongxu, who had already cultivated immortality, did not look down on Huang Kewu's Xingyi Bagua, it was not only because of the old fox's good intentions, but also because of the other party's genuine recognition.

"My grandmaster was Guo Yunshen, who was known as the 'Half-Step Bengquan Who Can Conquer the World,' and my master was Zhang Zhankui, a master of Xingyi Baguazhang..." Huang Kewu began to recount his lineage, clearly explaining his heritage.

For the next hour or so, Huang Kewu imparted all his essential techniques and killer moves to Gao Dongxu without reservation.

Huang Kewu watched as he learned and integrated all the knowledge he had acquired in just over an hour, and he felt a mix of emotions. There really is no comparison between people!
After performing Xingyi Baguazhang one last time, Gao Dongxu finished his routine and smiled, saying, "It is indeed more profound than the Bajiquan I practice."

"Alright, you can go now." Huang Kewu said, looking at Gao Dongxu, who was acting innocent despite getting the benefit, with a complicated expression.

"Hehe, okay—" Gao Dongxu chuckled.

After leaving the Huang family villa, Gao Dongxu went straight to his own villa to meet up with the six women, and then headed to Macau.
