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

"This...Grandmaster, is it really possible for someone to conceal their true strength?"

After a long pause, the young man finally looked at Li Cunxiao and spoke. It wasn't a question, but rather a reflection on how Li Cunxiao had been taught by his master since childhood to sit and stand properly. How could someone who was so carefree and sloppy possibly learn martial arts well?

"Actually, I've never met him before... but I can take you to meet him tomorrow."

Li Cunxiao had already guessed who the young man invited to the Tiger Roar Martial Arts School was. Over the years, apart from Yan Qing, he had never seen anyone else who could hide the traces of martial arts training.

He hadn't expected that Tiger Roar Martial Arts School would be related to Yan Qing. If that's the case, he might be able to see his senior brother again tomorrow.

"I wonder if my senior brother has broken through yet."

Li Cunxiao ignored the reactions of his disciples and grand-disciples, and instead pondered silently in his heart.

He knew that his senior brother would definitely come with Yan Qing this time. After all, if he had such a successor, he would definitely stay by his side without leaving for a moment and would never let anything happen to him.

.........

"Hey~ Does anyone know who the master's junior brother is? The master is treating him with such hospitality..."

"Yes, I heard they had a full crab feast at a crab restaurant today. How much did that cost...?"

"And another thing, that girl who came to the martial arts gym the other day was supposedly invited by the gym owner to participate in the martial arts alliance duel, and today she was following behind that guy..."

"But judging from that person's build, he doesn't seem to have any martial arts training. Looking at his lazy demeanor, if I were like that, I'm afraid my master would break my legs..."

"Hmm, he doesn't look like a martial artist, more like one of those spoiled young masters..."

"Tsk tsk... Some people can only envy this. The master's junior brother, even if he doesn't know any martial arts at all, can walk around with impunity in Tianjin as long as he doesn't mess with the foreigners..."

Inside the Tiger Roar Martial Arts Academy, Zou Qisi's manner when receiving Yan Qing was completely undisguised and was seen by the academy's disciples.

In their eyes, Zou Qisi always traveled with a large entourage and always appeared serious and dignified.

Today was the first time they had ever seen the owner smile.

Moreover, the level of hospitality shown to this junior brother was rather high.

This inevitably led them to whisper among themselves, their words filled with envy for the school master's junior brother.

If this junior brother of the martial arts master were a martial arts expert, they certainly wouldn't treat him this way. But this person is more like a playboy than a martial artist, yet he still receives such courtesy, which makes it hard for them to feel at ease.

"Are you all so idle? You dare to criticize the curator!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, a cold voice rang out.

The group of people who had been huddled together whispering suddenly froze in place, then awkwardly turned their heads, forcing uneasy smiles on their faces.

"Head Instructor..."

"You lot, all of you, go stand in the square in front! You are not allowed to leave until sunset!!!"

Li Er said something expressionlessly, then turned and left with his hands behind his back.

The students who had been discussing the matter exchanged glances, then sighed and lowered their heads before walking side by side toward the plaza in front.

These few people were unlucky; many people in the martial arts school were talking about it, but they were the only ones caught red-handed.

However, with these individuals punished, no one should dare to make any more inappropriate comments.

"Young Master, it's not just people in the martial arts school who are talking about it now; I bet all the martial arts schools in Tianjin are speculating about your background..."

On the upper floor of the martial arts school’s backyard, Yan Qing stood high up overlooking the entire square, while Lan Yue was talking to him from the side.

"Let them guess. They'll probably still have to guess after the martial arts duel!"

Yan Qing didn't care at all. It was just people speculating about him, it didn't matter. Even if people knew his identity, it wouldn't matter.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. His identity being exposed might lead to other martial arts schools being hostile towards Tiger Roar Martial Arts School, but the benefits and development it brings will definitely not be small.

As long as the Yan family controls Tianjin, Tiger Roar Martial Arts School will not be threatened by other martial arts schools.

"Should we arrange a meeting with General Yang?"

Wanxing stood on the other side and asked.

The military forces in Tianjin are now under the control of Yang Qing of the Yan family, and it seems unreasonable for Yan Qing, as the third young master of the Yan family, not to go see Yang Qing.

"No need for now. There are many people watching me right now. Just send someone over with a message."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it..."

Wanxing was very sensible; she knew how to handle things as soon as Yan Qing spoke. However, before leaving, she handed a booklet to Yan Qing:

"Young master, these are some of the top contenders for the Tianjin Martial Arts Alliance Tournament."

Among them, there were more than six martial artists who had reached the Transformation Realm, two of whom were from the Xingyi Martial Arts School. One was named Wu Jilun, who was 29 years old and had just entered the Transformation Realm. The other's strength was unknown, but it was rumored that Wu Jilun was quite respectful to him. However, he said that Wu Jilun was currently receiving special training from a mysterious old man.

"Tai Chi Sect also has two masters of the Transformation Realm. One is the original senior brother of the Tai Chi Martial Arts School, who entered the Transformation Realm last year. The other is equally mysterious, who recently came to Tianjin. However, according to intelligence, this person has a Northeastern accent."

"The other two martial artists who have reached the Transformation Realm are slightly weaker. One of them came from the south the year before last and probably practices southern boxing. Both of them only broke through to the Transformation Realm this year."

Yan Qing was flipping through the booklet in his hand, while Wan Xing was talking beside him. Whichever page Yan Qing turned to, Wan Xing would introduce it, clearly having studied these things in detail.

"Are you confident against these people?"

Yan Qing only glanced through the document before asking questions.

"The other martial arts schools are manageable; even those two Transformation Realm masters are easy to deal with. But the Transformation Realm masters from the Xingyi Quan school and the Tai Chi school..."

Although unwilling to admit it, Wanxing was well aware of the shortcomings in her martial arts training.

Even though they have rich practical experience, compared to the comprehensiveness of Xingyi Quan and Tai Chi Quan, the boxing techniques she and Lan Yue practiced still have obvious shortcomings.

They had a 50/50 chance of winning against Wu Jilun from the Xingyi Quan school and the senior brother from the Taiji Quan school, but they definitely had no chance against these two carefully trained young masters of these two major martial arts styles.

"Well, it seems that in the end I'll have to step in."

Yan Qing rested his hands on the railing, speaking casually, though a hint of excitement lingered in his eyes.

Those who practice martial arts always have some fierceness in their hearts, not to mention that Yan Qing is currently cultivating the murderous aura of the White Tiger, and occasionally the urge to fight arises.

Now, he just hopes his opponent won't be too weak, otherwise, it won't be fun.

Martial arts training is never just about training. If you only rely on training, the path of martial arts will be difficult to put into practice. Ultimately, it still comes down to the word "martial arts." Only by applying and practicing can you know whether what you are training is correct.
