After sending off Liu Siyan, Xiaofan walked back to the hotel with a silly grin on his face.
As he was about to pass through the hotel's garden, a figure suddenly rushed past in front of him.
Xiaofan was startled; this person's speed was incredibly fast. Luckily, the target didn't seem to be him, but rather a man and a woman sitting on a garden chair.
The man was a white-skinned foreigner, while the woman looked like she was wearing the hotel staff uniform.
The two were entangled on the chair, with the foreigner's big hand reaching inside the woman's clothes, clearly engaging in some indecent act.
A flash of cold light appeared, and the foreigner quickly pushed the woman out of his arms in panic.
The shadow saw the woman collide and quickly withdrew his hand, retracting the dagger he held.
Yet in that brief moment, the foreigner charged forward.
The scene before him unfolded too quickly; in a flash, the two were tangled up in combat.
As Xiaofan approached, he also saw the shadow's face clearly. The person was about the same age as him, certainly not over twenty. However, his speed and combat experience were incredibly frightening.
In his impression, only Li San, whom he encountered when his wallet was suddenly stolen upon deplaning, had such speed.
It turns out that it wasn't his abilities that were exceptional, but rather Capital City truly is a place full of hidden talents.
'Bang.'
After a sound of impact, the two quickly separated.
The young man's lips had a streak of blood, clearly having suffered internal injuries in the recent clash.
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?"
"David, you don't remember me, but I remember you. Ten years ago, you came to my house seeking my father's martial arts teachings. Who would have thought that after learning, you'd severely injure him, and he eventually died from his injuries. Today, I've come to avenge my father."
"You're the Lei Family kid?"
"Correct."
"Hmph, blame it on your father's incompetence for being defeated by his disciple. Even if he didn't die, there wouldn't be much face left for him to live in this world."
The foreigner's Mandarin was very clear, yet it sounded extremely repulsive.
"Bastard." Incensed by the opponent, the young man brandished his dagger and charged once more.
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan grasped the general situation. Huaxia martial arts teach etiquette first. Respecting teachers and adhering to the path is an essential moral of every martial artist. Yet this foreigner felt no shame for his actions, instead, he considered them quite indulgent.
Even as an outsider, Xiaofan couldn't help but clench his fists upon hearing this.
The combat between the two continued, but although the young man was fast, fierce, and his moves were lethal, David's quick reflexes also matched him. Moreover, the young man's techniques were too simple, easily countered by his opponent, and in a few moves, he was severely beaten.
Seeing the young man unable to hold on, Xiaofan grew slightly anxious, unsure whether he should intervene in others' affairs.
Yet, in that moment, the young man's foot slipped, he lost his balance, and his whole body tilted forward.
David naturally wouldn't miss such a glaring opportunity. He shouted, "Boy, daring to seek revenge with such poor skills, today I'll finish you with your Lei Family's Thunderbolt Palm."
'Whoosh.' There was no time for hesitation, he had to act.
Gathering his Inner Strength in the Dantian, guiding it through the Meridian-Opening, leading it to his feet.
With his toes pointing, his body leaned forward. Energy arose from the heart. Release...
In an instant, Xiaofan's body propelled forward. To catch up, he had even thrown a toothpick ahead.
Originally aimed at putting the young man in deadly peril, David suddenly felt a threat from the side and had no choice but to block.
The toothpick pierced into his left palm; however, David hadn't even had time to sense the pain before the figure appeared in front of him. Unable to respond, David had to use his newly gathered Inner Strength to unleash a Thunderbolt Palm.
'Bang.'
A sound of collision between Palm Forces was heard. After exchanging palms, Xiaofan quickly withdrew his hand, pulling the fallen young man to the side.
'Hiss.' David abruptly pulled the toothpick from his palm, then coldly eyed Xiaofan.
The speed of this guy was just too fast. If it weren't for saving someone, he might have already successfuly ambushed him. Such speed surely couldn't be exhibited by a young person, yet even if David didn't want to admit it, it was undeniable.
"Who are you? Are you with him?"
"No, I'm just unwilling to see an outsider taking lives on our country's soil." Xiaofan replied coldly, filled with abhorrence for this foreign man.
"Hmph, isn't there a law about self-defense in your country? He wanted to kill me just now." David continued. Then he started walking toward Xiaofan, obviously unwilling to easily let go of the young man.
"So what..." Xiaofan swiftly took out two more toothpicks from his left hand, looking at David with vigilance: "The competition has rules. If contestants fight privately outside the matches, their qualification is canceled. If you don't mind, then go ahead."
"Hmph. You're lucky." Clearly, David valued this competition greatly; the woman from earlier seemed to have gone to get someone, and he wasn't interested in making a big scene, so he turned and immediately headed back to the hotel.
"Are you alright?" Xiaofan turned around, looking at the panting young man: "Let me help heal your injuries."
Inner Strength healing was the most basic healing ability taught to Xiaofan by Ye Aotian. It's the simplest and most common, needing only to disperse the stagnant blood for the injured person to quickly recover.
Luckily, the young man's injuries weren't severe, and after three minutes, with Xiaofan's help, he spat out a mouthful of stagnant blood and his breathing slowly stabilized.
"Thank you."
"It's nothing. You don't have the strength to be his opponent. Revenge is a dish best served cold, even if it takes ten years." Xiaofan advised.
"I've already waited ten years. Hard as it was, I finally waited for him to come to Huaxia. But it's my fault for being incompetent. I can't avenge my father; I'm a disgrace to my role as a son." He was unreconciled; without avenging his father's death, how could he face him? When he passes, how would he have the face to meet his deceased father?
"If you lose your life, then you really wouldn't have the face to meet your father. In the hundred virtues, filial duty is the foremost, and lineage is most important. You're about my age, not even mentioning marriage and having children. If you die without leaving descendants for your family, how would you bear such a burden?"
"I..." Being told this by Xiaofan, the young man's words were left unanswered: "In any case, thank you. I'm Lei Xiaolei, the name my father gave me."
"Ye Xiaofan."
"Thank you. I'll head back now."
"Okay. Let's go together, we're both staying at the hotel."
