Chapter 398: Chapter 398
Renee turned over and thought it was comfortable—really didn’t want to get up at all.
As for the cheers coming from the window, Renee didn’t want to go out and see. Anyway, lying on the bed and listening to the sounds was enough to know what was happening.
"Aunt Wan is amazing."
"Wow, uncle, you need to exert some effort."
Listening to this, Renee knew her uncle probably lost. As for how badly he lost, Renee was unsure, but a man losing to a woman is definitely a face-losing situation.
Hopefully, her uncle can maintain his spirit and won’t be discouraged by losing to a woman.
As for Mei Na, she must be worried about her brother in every way, maybe thinking that Cai Ming suffered a big loss; realizing his skills are inferior, he shouldn’t fight Wan Qiweng again.
"Not bad, quite satisfying." Cai Ming lost, but he actually feels quite good, at least having a good sparring partner can improve his skills.
"Let’s continue in the future." Cai Ming wasn’t overly egotistical; though it’s a little embarrassing, it’s just a momentary thing. Since he lost, that means his skill level is lacking.
With inadequate skills, he’ll practice hard until he can defeat Wan Qiweng someday.
The only thing Cai Ming was dissatisfied with was, "I feel like you held back some strength, which is unnecessary."
Really? Renee regretted not going out to watch the fun. Even if she offended Meina, so what? There were so many people watching outside; adding or missing one wouldn’t matter.
Forget it, "Missing it today is a miss, but tomorrow I must get up early." Renee expressed that even if just peek out the window from the bed, she must watch. Read complete versıon only at NoveI★Fire.net
Seriously? Losing so badly, and Wan Qiweng still held back? If it weren’t for Cai Ming saying this, Zhao Gang and the others wouldn’t believe it.
To them, Cai Ming was indeed quite skilled; they didn’t expect him to be easily defeated by Wan Qiweng, truly unbelievable. But to think she still held back, who knows the full extent of Wan Qiweng’s ability.
Zhao Gang looked anxiously at Cai Ming; this kid is just too naive. The girl already showed you some courtesy, couldn’t you just leave a little face for yourself?
"Take it easy." Gong Tao was quite frightened by his brother-in-law’s words; we can’t let Wan Qiweng exert full effort—what if something goes wrong? Knowing yesterday back in the room, he got a harsh lecture from his wife, Mei Na.
If his wife finds out he didn’t step in today, he might not get to eat meat until the college entrance exams are over. Can life go on like that?
As an adult, not eating meat is a significant punishment.
"Cai Ming, listen to your brother-in-law, let’s take it step by step." Gong Tao put on a brother-in-law air; although his tone wasn’t stern, the decisiveness in his words was crystal clear.
Sigh, although it’s the brother-in-law’s words, it’s definitely the sister’s intention. If it came from the elder brother or even the parents, Cai Ming would never relent, but the big sister... Cai Ming really doesn’t want to see her sad.
"If I exert full strength, your current skill level isn’t sufficient; it’s easy to get injured. Wait till you improve by another fifty percent, and then I might exert full strength." Wan Qiweng said something that floored Cai Ming, really quite a blow.
My goodness, improving by another fifty percent... Renee originally wanted to open the window and see her uncle’s red and variously embarrassed face, but just as she touched the window, she heard this and was stunned.
Her uncle’s skills need to improve by fifty percent for Wan Qiweng to consider exerting full strength. Renee was genuinely curious whether this girl wasn’t the daughter from some famous martial arts family.
Otherwise, it’s hard to imagine how just a little girl could have such strong skills, moreover concealing them so well. Renee wondered if Wan Qiweng would be interested in going mountain hunting.
Though rabbit meat is nice, it isn’t as tasty as wild boar meat. Especially since they’re soon leaving the Northeast, whether they’ll have the chance to hunt big animals like that again is uncertain.
Renee doesn’t want once they move into the city for all the big-bellied men to be without meat—that would surely lead to rebellion.
So they must make lots of dried meat, jerky, and floss—basically, the more meat, the better. But currently, they shouldn’t speak so bluntly for fear of scaring Wan Qiweng away.
"Aunt Wan, have some water."
"Aunt Wan, are you tired? Ni Zi can give you a massage."
"Aunt Wan, don’t worry, Ni Zi is good at massages."
A group of people rushed into the house, and Renee’s sudden enthusiasm really startled everyone. Never have they seen Renee so eager, not even for Gong Tao and his wife.
Gong Tao watched Renee circle around Wan Qiweng and felt uneasy about it. Although his daughter occasionally gave massages, she was never this attentive.
If it was for Zhao Gang’s couple or other family members, Gong Tao wouldn’t mind as much, but for Wan Qiweng, whose acquaintance was just recent, it felt incorrect.
Zhao Xuran watched Renee’s behavior around Wan Qiweng with discomfort. He has never received such treatment; why was Ni Zi being so attentive to Wan Qiweng? This differential treatment made Zhao Xuran quite displeased.
Zhao Xuran didn’t speak out—he knew others would voice their disagreements.
Guang Ran felt uneasy; when Renee learned massages from his mom, she often practiced on him. Once she mastered it, she occasionally offered him a massage, usually after his complaints.
But Wan Qiweng received such good treatment, and Guang Ran was genuinely upset, "Hey, Ni Zi, isn’t this too much?"
Too much? Renee didn’t feel she was going overboard, "Aunt Wan’s skills are excellent, she’s a heroine and can protect me, so I have to perform well."
Just considering her unknown background and such high Combat Power, Renee didn’t think flattery was wrong.
"Just one thing—if you were a Martial Arts Master, you’d get the same treatment." After all, given Guang Ran’s age, expecting him to become a Martial Arts Master was laughable.
No talent, plus reluctance to exert effort, Renee really didn’t think he’d become a Martial Arts Master—it’d be hilarious.
Unless, like in novels, someone falls into a valley and finds an opportunity to become a master.
But is that possible? Novels are novels—how could they be real?
Humph, this brat really can’t be relied upon; imagining he could become a Martial Arts Master—is that possible?
Guang Ran is thick-skinned, but he knows his limits—it’s impossible in this lifetime. Sigh, he really envies but lacks the fortune.
Martial Arts Master? Zhao Xuran silently repeated several times and prepared to start copying the exercise book, knowing they have ten days till the exam and lots to do as Wan Qiweng’s materials just arrived.
