Time flies.
Saturday came.
Saturday night, at 7: 30 PM, Xu Taiping arrived at Gymnasium 3 as promised.
The third stadium wasn't too big, and in the center was a basketball court.
When Xu Taiping arrived at Gymnasium No.3, Duanmu Huazhe was already there.
Duanmu Hua Ze was wearing a very traditional Chinese tunic suit as he stood there. His hair was neatly combed, and he looked extremely serious. It seemed that tonight's sparring session was a very important event for him.
On the other side, Xu Taiping was wearing a pair of short pants with vertical stripes, and he was wearing a pair of flip-flops. It looked like his hair hadn't been washed for days, and although it wasn't very oily, it still looked messy.
"Student Duanmu, you … …" Are they going to make a movie? " Xu Taiping couldn't help teasing.
Duanmu Huanghun stood on the spot with a frown as he said, "I value this sparring very much."
"Me too, but I don't feel as ceremonious as you." Xu Taiping said.
Duanmu Huazhe raised both his hands and cupped his fists as he said, "Director Xu, please give me your guidance."
"Don't worry." Xu Taiping smiled and said, "Let's have a chat first. The surname Duanmu is actually quite rare. Recently, there has been a person surnamed Duanmu who has been quite popular. His name is Duanmu Ci, do you know him?"
"Father." Duanmu Huazhe said.
"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised an eyebrow, "Your father is actually Duanmu Ci?"
"Yes sir!" Duanmu Huanghun nodded.
"No wonder you dared to challenge me at such a young age." Xu Taiping was enlightened.
"Competing isn't about defeating you. It's about accumulating experience. According to the request my father gave me, maybe in my fourth year, I'll have the power to truly fight against you." Duanmu Huazhe said.
"Your dad saw it so clearly?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Yes, can we start now, Director Xu?" Duanmu Huazhe asked.
"Fine, since you don't want to say more, then … Let's begin! "
As soon as Xu Taiping finished speaking, Duanmu Huazhe had already charged towards Xu Taiping.
"Your speed is good, and your aura is also very good. You should be only 18 this year. For an 18 year old to have such speed and momentum, that's very good!" Xu Taiping stood on the spot and nodded.
In the blink of an eye, Duanmu Huazhe had already arrived in front of Xu Taiping.
A set of swift and fierce fist techniques was abruptly executed by Duanmu Huanghun.
Xu Taiping wasn't in a hurry to attack. As he dodged, he analyzed Duanmu Huanghun's movements.
In Xu Taiping's opinion, Duanmu Huanghun should be his teacher in the Duanmu Family's martial arts. Naturally, he should be of the same bloodline as Duanmu Huanghun. Although Duanmu Huanghun couldn't possibly be at Duanmu Huanghun's level, Xu Pingping would at least be able to find out a bit about Duanmu Huanghun's martial arts.
This was a professional habit of Xu Taiping. Even though he had no contact with Duanmu Huanghun and might not interact with him in the future, as the number two on the Martial Arts Rankings, Xu Taiping still felt that it was necessary to learn more about him.
This was a habit that had helped Xu Taiping many times in his ten years of life as an assassin.
Xu Taiping was dodging Duanmu Huazhe's attack, appearing to be quite calm. Duanmu Huazhe, on the other hand, had a cold expression on his face as he unceasingly used his family's secret technique.
Within the gymnasium, figures flashed.
A minute later.
Bang!
A muffled sound rang out.
Xu Taiping's punch had struck Duanmu Huanghun off the side of his face, sending him flying. Duanmu Huanghun landed heavily on the basketball stand beside him, before crashing to the ground.
"All aspects are good, but they're still too inexperienced. You're still lacking in time." Xu Taiping said.
"Yes." Duanmu Huanghun crawled up from the ground. His face was already swollen, but there was no trace of dissatisfaction in his expression.
"Among all the young talents under the age of 20 in China, you are one of the top three!" Xu Taiping nodded like an old senior. In fact, Xu Taiping had wanted to play the part of the old senior a long time ago, and then he would say some very cool words to this junior. This feeling was very pleasurable.
"Thank you very much." Duanmu Huazhe clasped his hands together before turning around and leaving, not hesitating in the slightest.
These days, there were many people who relied on their power to bully others. Duanmu Huazhe's father was Duanmu Huanghun, and logically speaking, he was capable of running amuck, but this guy didn't show it at all. Every day, he would ride his bicycle and go to school, and he would never rely on his female fans to be arrogant and despotic, much less be a fan. This kind of character was in some ways even better than Xu Taiping's.
Leaving the gymnasium, Xu Taiping drove home.
At this moment, Xu Taiping's phone suddenly rang. It was Zhou Xiaoyu.
"Bro Xu, I've already handed over the matters at Hui City to Zhou Nuo. I've still left some underlings for Zhou Nuo. Tomorrow, I'll be going to Jiangbei." Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"How's the setup in Jiangbei going?" Xu Taiping asked.
"All that needs to be done has been done. Next up, as long as we get rid of those who are the most proficient in prancing first, it'll be enough. At the end of the year, Brother Xu, you should be able to rule over the entire Jiangbei Province." Zhou Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"Haha, I'm waiting for you to bring me good news." Xu Taiping laughed.
"Then that's it for now, Bro Xu!" Zhou Xiaoyu said.
"Un, let's do it like this for now!" Xu Taiping hung up.
Just as he hung up, Zhou Nuo's phone call came in.
"Bro Xu, I'm alone in Hui City now. Don't you plan on sending another ten or twenty subordinates or something to protect me?" Zhou Nuo asked.
"Didn't Xiao Yu leave someone behind for you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"That, is indeed the case, but we don't have enough people. With just four or five of them, I don't feel safe at all." Zhou Nuo said.
"How about I pull a teacher over for you?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Good, good, good!"
"My my ass! You're in China now, not Siniya. Four to five people can guarantee your safety. Hurry up and find me something useful!" Xu Taiping said.
"Bro Xu, I've really found something useful. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to send a few more people over!" Zhou Nuo said grievingly.
"Oh? What did you find out? " Xu Taiping asked.
"I found the picture of Sun Dongfu." Zhou Nuo said.
"Find the picture of Sun Dongfu? What was this? Wouldn't it be fine if I just casually look it up? " Xu Taiping asked.
"It really isn't!" Zhou said in a low voice, "All the pictures of Sun Dongfu that you can find are actually … It's all fake! It's not Sun Dongfu himself! "
"What?!" Xu Taiping asked in shock, "How did you know?"
"Because I found the real Sun Dongfu photos. Aren't those photos fake?" Zhou Nuo said matter-of-factly.
"Then how did you find the real Sun Dongfu photo?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I found Sun Dongfu's old neighbor. In one of their family's photos, I saw a vision of Sun Dongfu. That photo was taken by Sun Dongfu's old neighbor on a daily basis, but Sun Dongfu just entered the country. That old neighbor told me that it was Sun Dongfu!" Zhou Nuo said.
"What about when we find the picture of Sun Dongfu?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Since they've deliberately concealed Sun Dongfu's true appearance, I'll use this Sun Dongfu photo to break through Duan Chunmei's psychological defenses!" Zhou Nuo said.
"What are you going to do?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I'm still thinking, I'll tell you when I figure it out!" Zhou Nuo said.
"..."
"Bro Xu, since I've found such an important piece of information, shouldn't you give me a few more people?" Zhou Nuo asked.
"Let's leave it at this for now. I still have things to do. Send me the photo of Sun Dongfu when we get back." Xu Taiping hung up.
"Bro Xu, Bro Xu?" Hello? "Bro Xu, hey, Bro Xu, you don't know how scared and frightened I am here! That Chunmei is one of their top few local tycoons! It's said that she even has connections with their local Jianghu people! Bro Xu, why don't you care about me!" Zhou Nuo's cries came from the other end of the phone, but Xu Taiping could no longer hear them.
Xu Taiping drove back home. As soon as he arrived, someone paid him a visit.
The person who visited was a member of the branch of the Chinese Martial Arts Association in Jiangyuan city. His name was Kong Ye.
"Guild Leader Xu, these are some of the documents that the headquarters sent over. They need your signature." Kong Ye placed several documents in front of Xu Taiping and said with a smile.
"Let me see." Xu Taiping picked up the document and looked at it.
"President Xu, you just need to sign your name. These are the association's daily affairs. There's nothing to see here." Kong Ye said with a smile.
"Oh?" Xu Taiping raised his eyebrows, glanced at Kong Ye and said, "So, I just need to be in charge of signing the contract?"
"That's what headquarters said." Kong Ye said.
"That won't do. What if they sell me?" Xu Taiping looked at the document in front of him.
Kong Ye slightly frowned and did not say anything.
"Take a look, why is the Wudang Sect's main hall being refurbished and renovated by the association? And five million? I saw the main hall of the Wudang Sect last year. Xu Taiping asked.
The Wudang Sect is one of the five permanent members, representing the face of the Chinese martial arts association, so the main hall needs to be repaired, as for why it is worth five million, that I do not know, President Xu. Kong Ye said.
"What you're saying is that as a guild leader, I'm not qualified to ask about the flow of money in the association?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's the temporary president." Kong Ye said.
"Hahaha, your words are good, very good!" Xu Taiping smiled and said, "I forgot, I was just a temporary chairman."
"Guild Leader Xu, to put it bluntly, the temporary guild leader could be replaced at any time, so …" "Sometimes, it's better to mind your own business less." Kong Ye said.
"Which sect are you from?" Xu Taiping asked.
"I'm just a staff member of the association. I'm not part of any school." Kong Ye said.
"You're right." Xu Taiping picked up a pen, signed his name on the document, and then handed it to Kong Ye, saying, "I will be serious about my identity."
"That's for the best." Kong Ye smiled, picked up his documents, got up and said goodbye.
