Elf: Starting as the Fighting Gym Master, and being entangled by Nancy

Li Xuan had stood behind Naz without her knowing. His broad palm gently wrapped around her knife-holding fingers, guiding her to cut the tender meat.

So, this is how it's cut...

The moment the steak was separated, she heard the sound of her own heartbeat clearer than the sound of the knife and fork colliding.

The frozen heart gradually melted as the steak was separated.

"You try it first."

Looking at Li Xuan who returned to his seat, Nazi picked up a piece of beef.

Perhaps it was because she hadn't used her super powers, but her fingertips were trembling slightly.

However, Nancy's arm holding the fork was stubbornly hanging in the air, and there was a hint of imperceptible expectation in her usually indifferent eyes.

The beef on the silver fork hovered between the two of them. Li Xuan's eyes briefly wandered between Nazhi and the steak, then he leaned forward slightly.

When the piece of meat on the silver fork was gently taken away, a faint smile passed across his lips.

As the aroma of beef melted on his tongue, Li Xuan nodded to Nazi, who was still holding her fork, and at the same time, he picked up a small piece of steak from his plate and said, "It's very tender. You should try it too."

These two simple words coupled with a seemingly casual action made the tips of Naz's ears turn pink at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She ate the meal very slowly, chewing every bite very carefully.

She even used her superpowers to slow down the waiter's dessert service by three minutes, as if that could slow down time.

But, every banquet will eventually come to an end.

Just as Nazhi was about to get up, she noticed a faint smile on Li Xuan's face, and then followed his fingertips and looked towards the window.

boom!

Suddenly, golden rain burst out outside the entire floor-to-ceiling window!

Thousands of fireworks were launched into the sky at the same time, lighting up the night sky as if it were daytime.

When those bright spots of light fell, the words "Thank you for your protection" were reflected on the glass...

"You've done a great job. Leave the rest of your life to me."

Chapter 267 Sakaki: This is the black card I gave to Li Xuan

"You've done a great job. Leave the rest of your life to me."

At this moment, under the reflection of the fireworks, Li Xuan's tone gradually became softer.

After hearing these words, Nancy's ears turned red and she felt a little uneasy.

This was the first time someone said this to me.

For the first time, someone felt like they were doing something good…

It was Li Xuan's words that made Nazi feel that everything she had done in the past was worth it.

"Ah."

She nodded slightly and smiled at Li Xuan: "Then the management of the Golden Gym will be left to you from now on."

As the words fell, the embers of the fireworks slowly sank into the night, like a fleeting dream.

But the splendor of that moment has long been imprinted deep in the minds of both of them.

On the streets, children looked up with their mouths open, lovers' clasped palms were sweating, and even the office workers who were rushing on their way stopped.

These traces of light will eventually fade away, but they will always appear at some ordinary moment.

Maybe it’s the afternoon when the coffee is cold, or the early morning when the rain is knocking on the window.

Suddenly, it bloomed again in my memory, carrying with it the same breathtaking excitement...

"Leave the rest of your life to me. Golden Gym and Golden City will surely shine brightly under my leadership."

Li Xuan's tone became more firm and affirmative.

Hearing Li Xuan say this again, Nazhi nodded slightly.

"I believe you."

Nazhi's voice was very soft, but it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

The outline of Li Xuan was reflected in her pupils, as if she had already foreseen this moment in countless parallel time and space.

Li Xuan didn't say much, but just placed his palm on the back of her slightly cool hand.

The last trace of fireworks outside the window dissipated, and a connection stronger than a contract was quietly taking shape between the two people's intertwined fingers.

Meanwhile, not far away.

"Wuhu, a perfect finish! Both of you performed very well today!"

Xiaolan and Bu Miao applauded each other, then looked at the middle-aged man walking out of the shadows and said with emotion: "I also want to thank Master Sakaki. If it weren't for your great help, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know where to buy fireworks."

"No need to thank me. After all, this is also for the benefit of Li Xuanguan Master. He has done me a favor, and this is just a small thing for him. It's not worth mentioning."

Sakaki walked out of the alley with a cheerful smile on his face. His eyes swept between the three people and then stopped at Xiaoyin.

"This is Master Li Xuan's new apprentice, right? I heard from Miss Junsha from Yuhong City that you played a significant role in the recent incident and nearly lost your life because of it, is that correct?"

"Well, I was careless and underestimated the enemy before."

Xiaoyin was also a little helpless.

The gatekeeper at Yuhong Game City is too ruthless.

Sending Pokémon to launch a sneak attack is simply unethical.

Fortunately, Li Xuan came to the rescue in time, especially the freezing of Articuno and the powerful breaking of the wall by Monkey, which gave him a great shock.

So handsome!

After that, he maintained the tactic of letting two people live and keeping one when fighting in the wild.

That is: send two to attack in secret, and keep one just in case.

"Team Rocket is being unreasonable. You're a very good trainer for stepping up in a critical moment and volunteering to find out the enemy's situation."

Sakaki said, taking out a black card: "I'm very optimistic about you. I can spend 5 million every month on it. It's my investment in the new trainer."

“What???”*3

Xiaoyin, Xiaolan and Bumiao all expressed their doubts in unison.

Why is Master Sakaki so nice to me?

Why is Master Sakaki so nice to Gin?

Could it be that Master Sakaki is here to poach people?

Different thoughts came to the minds of the three people, but they were all surprised by Sakaki's "unnecessary courtesy".

Wait, Masaka?!

Xiaolan thought of a possibility and looked back and forth between Sakaki and Xiaoyin.

I heard rumors online that Sakaki is still unmarried.

But now that I've met Xiaoyin, he's taken the initiative to invest in me, and even gave me a black card with a very high credit limit. It's hard to think in that direction...

"Ahem, I'm investing in new trainers to show my approval. What you may not know is that every year when the Evergreen Gym opens, I invest in trainers."

After Sakaki gave a brief explanation, the three of them suddenly understood.

It turns out that I just think Xiaoyin has hope.

"What do you mean, Master Sakaki, do you want Xiaoyin to challenge the Quartz Alliance?"

Xiaolan thought of this possibility.

After all, if Xiaoyin accepted Sakaki's investment, he would definitely have to do something to prove his point.

For new trainers, participating in the League Conference is the best place to make a name for themselves.

It is also a place where you can show off your skills.

After challenging the League Conference, countless trainers with good performance were directly recruited into the League and given government jobs.

Therefore, it is not impossible that Sakaki, as the gym leader, intends to let Gin participate in this kind of competition.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan quietly took a few steps back, flipped her phone, and opened the chat interface with Li Xuan...

"No, I think this matter depends on Xiaoyin himself. Whether he wants to attend the Quartz Conference or not will not affect my decision to invest in him."

Sakaki waved his hand and handed over the black card in his hand. "Xiaoyin, if I remember correctly, you should have just become an apprentice recently. You don't have any money, right? You can use this card for emergencies first, and return it to me when you really start working."

"It's too valuable, Master Sakaki. I can't accept this."

Xiaoyin took a step back and politely declined Sakaki's offer: "Master Li Xuan always provides me with food and drink, and he also reimburses me for my expenses when I go out, so I can't accept it. Thank you very much for your kindness."

As for Sakaki's black card, Xiaoyin subconsciously felt that it should be his for some reason, but during the days he spent with Li Xuan, Xiaoyin changed a lot.

He felt that such valuable things that were closely related to money and could be converted into cash should not be taken.

This is still a black card.

I can earn five million every month!

It’s really too precious.

"Then... just consider it as a gift from me to Pavilion Master Li Xuan."

Sakaki pondered for a moment, as if thinking about what kind of explanation would be best.

If Li Xuan were here, he would definitely frown.

At this moment, Sakaki looks a bit like the uncle next door, and it is difficult to associate him with the boss of Team Rocket.

Xiaolan, Xiaoyin, and Bu Miao were all unaware of this and simply thought that Sakaki was a kind man who came to them in time of need.

After all, the fighting dojo is really short of money right now!

It’s true that salaries are paid as usual, but judging from Li Xuan’s current rate of saving money, when will the expansion of the dojo be completed?

"I appreciate Master Sakaki's kindness, but you should take this black card back. It's really too valuable."
