Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

In fact, Zou Qisi had already arranged many things, including accommodation and travel, and she had many alternative plans.

She had originally planned to find an opportunity to confirm with Wanxing, but Yan Qing came several days in advance, so now she had no choice but to ask directly.

"Master Zou, there's no need for such trouble. Young Master is here as a martial artist from Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, so please keep a low profile. The most suitable place for him to stay is definitely within the martial arts school. As for his living arrangements, my sister and I will take care of them. I will give you a detailed list of Young Master's preferences later."

Wanxing takes everything related to the young master very seriously. Even if the young master says he will come early, she can handle it calmly.

"That would be best!"

Zou Qisi was somewhat relieved to have Wanxing around, but also felt a pang of regret, because Wanxing had handled everything so well that it left her with little room to maneuver.

……

The next morning, when Yan Qing and Lan Yue got off the train, Zou Qisi and Wan Xing were already waiting for them at the station entrance, surrounded by several martial artists dressed in short-sleeved uniforms.

Yan Qing's attire was not much different from that in Jin Province. He was still lazy, with his eyes squinted and a smile on his face. He walked with a swaying gait, showing no signs of a martial artist. With the beautiful Lan Yue by his side, he looked exactly like a spoiled young master.

As soon as she saw Yan Qing get off the train, Zou Qisi smiled and went to greet him.

"Senior Sister!"

However, before she could even approach, Yan Qing took the initiative to cup his hands and call out, "Senior Sister."

"Junior brother!"

Seeing this, Zou Qisi's expression remained unchanged, and she took over the topic with a smile.

At the same time, she also understood that this was Yan Qing's role this time: to come to the martial arts school to help her as her junior brother, or rather, as the junior brother of her deceased husband.

Although she didn't know the specific reasons behind Yan Qing's actions, Zou Qisi didn't reveal any flaws. Since everything revolved around Yan Qing's intentions, her subsequent change in tone was also very natural:

"Since we're here with Senior Sister, Junior Brother will have to make do. Let's go back to the martial arts school to rest. We've already arranged a welcome feast for lunch, which includes Junior Brother's favorite whole crab feast."

"How could I feel wronged? Everyone says that there are many crabs in the Nine Rivers of Tianjin. I'm here to eat my fill this time."

As they talked, the two walked out of the train station, attracting the attention of many people.

However, neither Yan Qing nor Zou Qisi had much intention of hiding anything, and they went to the martial arts school openly and honestly.

Zou Qisi was able to thoroughly investigate the external support staff of other martial arts schools, and the other martial arts schools weren't stupid either, so they would naturally pay attention to everything about Huxiao Martial Arts School.

Therefore, the key is ultimate strength, not identity.

However, Yan Qing concealed both his identity and strength extremely well, leaving these people only able to guess and unable to investigate him at all.

The crab feast at noon was held at the best restaurant in Tianjin. Zou Qisi had quite a presence and influence, having booked the entire restaurant. Only Yan Qing and three others were at the table.

Don't assume that because there are many rivers in Tianjin, crabs are cheap. The idea that crabs are as expensive as rice and that poor people can only survive on crabs is just a rumor and not true.

The rumor is indeed about crabs, but it refers to dead crabs.

Crabs are already difficult to catch during this period, and preservation is even more difficult. Once a crab dies, it will spoil quickly and become hollow. Therefore, dead crabs are sold off cheaply, which is why such rumors exist.

In fact, the crab feast arranged by Zou Qisi was quite expensive, because it used only the best and freshest crabs.

Furthermore, Zou Qisi's reception of Yan Qing was quite grand, even booking the best restaurants, which also showed how much she valued Yan Qing.

Therefore, those who have been paying close attention to Tiger Roar Martial Arts School couldn't help but speculate about Yan Qing's identity.

The intelligence networks among warlords were not connected to those of the traditional martial artists in Tianjin. Unless someone was particularly interested in Yan Qing, it would be almost impossible for them to find out his identity.

However, there is one exception.

Inside the Xingyi Martial Arts School, some people were speculating about Yan Qing's identity.

"Why is Tiger Roar Martial Arts School making such a grand entrance to welcome this young man?"

"I heard they address each other as senior and junior brothers..."

"Senior sister and junior brother? That young man looks to be in his early twenties at most, and he walks with a slouching gait, without any spirit or energy. He doesn't look like a martial artist at all!"

"Zou Qisi from Tiger Roar Martial Arts School is indeed skilled in martial arts. It is said that she used Xingyi Quan when she made a move, and she also used the technique of neutralizing force. I just don't know who her master is. Her junior brother is probably just here to watch the show. I just don't know why Zou Qisi values ​​this person so much."

The owner of Xingyi Martial Arts School and the senior members of another martial arts school were speculating about Zou Qisi's purpose.

An old man and a young man were sitting nearby. The old man was drinking tea and listening to their conversation, but when he heard the young man's nonchalant and listless manner, he couldn't help but pause in his tea-drinking.

"Grandmaster! What do you think?"

The young man who had been watching the old man closely immediately noticed his actions and quickly asked him a question.

As soon as he spoke, the museum owner and other executives who were talking immediately fell silent and all looked at the old man.

"I have seen a young man like that before. He walks with a slouching gait and looks completely lacking in energy. But that doesn’t mean he’s not a martial artist. It’s just that he has some hidden skills."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, the old man put down his teacup and replied.

"Such methods are even possible?"

The owner of the Xingyi Martial Arts School was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, and as you all know, once you have mastered the true meaning of the Tiger Form in Xingyi Quan, your essence, energy, and spirit will be completely contained within, without being revealed at all."

The old man's eyes were deep as he spoke. He thought of Yan Qing; in all these years, he had only ever seen Yan Qing achieve this level of skill.

Others who have mastered the Tiger Form True Meaning to such a profound level have all practiced Xingyi Tiger Form their entire lives; their martial arts instincts have been deeply ingrained in their bones.

Even if one completely conceals their essence, energy, and spirit, it is still impossible to achieve the same level of martial arts prowess as Yan Qing, where no trace of martial arts training is revealed.

Habits are something that are very difficult for martial artists to change, especially for those at a higher level.

And this old man was none other than Li Cunxiao, the head of the Xingyi School.

Xingyi Sect is the backer of Xingyi Martial Arts School. This time, he came to Xingyi Martial Arts School to help cultivate new martial artists, namely the young man sitting opposite him.

As soon as Li Cunxiao finished speaking, everyone else couldn't help but glance at each other, then looked at each other in bewilderment.

They all knew the true meaning of the Tiger Form, but they were unaware that it would have such an effect.

After all, when they cultivate the Tiger Form True Meaning, they focus on studying how to apply force within it; no one would use it to conceal their strength.
