Chapter 846: Chapter 846 How Did the Rumors Spread (Thanks to Shuyueer for the update)

"Recognized?" Yu Jingting asked Suizi.

"She was sitting in the row behind us on the plane, don’t you remember?"

Yu Jingting shrugged his shoulders, now that she mentioned it, it kind of rang a bell, but at that time his focus was all on how to infuriate Que Wuyu.

"That woman is no ordinary person, she must be a martial artist." The driver, Siye, said.

"Old man, you can tell that just by looking?" Yu Jingting asked.

"She practices hard qigong. A single finger of hers can shatter bricks. Can’t you see the Qi flowing around her?"

Suizi let out a gasp of admiration and looked at Siye with reverence.

"Dad, you can see that?"

"Of course, naturally so. Although Tiegen, this blockhead, wouldn’t be able to see it; this kind of Qi flow is only perceivable among us, people who have practiced deeply mysterious breathing techniques and can sense each other."

Siye’s attempt to sound mysterious made Suizi even more curious about that mysterious woman, but Yu Jingting snorted in disdain.

"Old man, are you trying to pull a fast one on me? Since when did you practice hard qigong?"

"Brat! There’s a lot you don’t know!" Siye snapped back, his bluff called out.

"So, does hard qigong really exist or not?" Suizi was quite curious.

She remembered from the future many scientific expositions, some claimed it was real while others did not. However, indeed there were some who could split bricks with a single finger or pierce glass with thrown needles.

"Have I made a fool of you in your sleep? How come you, a little woman, have also lost your intelligence after we’re done? Can you believe the old man’s words? If he really practiced hard qigong, how could your man here bag him multiple times?"

Yu Jingting was upset by his wife’s admiring gaze for Siye, and he jumped in to make his presence felt.

Suizi’s face flushed with heat, scolding Yu Jingting. How could he say anything in front of an elder?

"Oh, old man, don’t get the wrong idea. We didn’t do anything on the plane, mainly because she wasn’t cooperating with me, saying it was holding up other passengers in the toilet. Don’t get any wild ideas!"

"..." That explanation only made things worse.

Suizi turned her head out the car window, and after three seconds, turned back around. By now, her skin had grown thick over the years, and both in-laws knew exactly what kind of person he was. Whenever Yu Jingting let his mouth run, Suizi would consciously dissociate herself from him.

"So, Dad, how exactly did you know she practices hard qigong?" Suizi asked.

"Years ago, there was an Asia-Pacific Chinese Martial Arts Competition—mind you, it was called a competition, but you both know what it really was."

It was a contest among various societies to select their leaders, with the winner being dubbed "Second Commander," a title carrying honor but no real power.

The boss wouldn’t participate, but to be eligible for such a competition, one had to be at least on the level of a Red Pole or higher—foot soldiers like Grass Shoes or the lowest tier henchmen, like Four-to-Six, wouldn’t even dream of it.

"So, that woman took part in it?!" Suizi was slightly surprised, and somewhat thrilled by the thought.

It was quite unexpected. She looked so pretty, so feminine, yet she could compete with a bunch of men for supremacy; the thought alone was invigorating.

"Yeah, only five people were sent from that region, including her. In the entire championship, she was the only woman. I have a particularly strong memory of her because, look, she’s thin yet well-toned, right? But her punches were fierce, she trained in hard techniques, and on her, you couldn’t see the gap in inherent physical strength between men and women. I wouldn’t want to mess with those two fingers of hers in a million years."

Siye still remembered that competition vividly to this day.

The woman’s hair was wrapped around her neck as she fought, a single finger puncturing a hole in the marble countertop, leaving men she poked either crippled or injured—her combat skills were incredibly formidable.

"Oh, go back and tell our mom, when our dad was outside, he encountered women who were both thin and toned, with stamina so impressive it scared him. Also, their fingers were lethal. He’s been savoring the memory to this day~"

Yu Jingting distilled Siyeh’s words to their essence and then rearranged them freely, completely changing the intent in an instant.

Siyeh slammed on the brakes, stopping the car on the side of the road, and got out to open the rear door. He was ready to stuff the loose-lipped Yu Tiegen into the green belt and have him crawl home!

"Dad! Don’t stoop to his level!" Suizi, afraid that Yu Jingting would get beaten, spread her arms out like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

"I’ll spare your life for Suizi’s sake!" Yu Shuisheng kicked the seat and cursed as he returned to the driver’s seat.

"Looking at that mouth of yours, one can probably understand how rumors start," Suizi said with a mix of laughter and tears.

It was a stroke of luck that she’d pulled Yu Tiegen into business; with his talent for spreading rumors, if he’d been a gossip journalist, he could have poisoned his pen.

"Isn’t this my way of testing him for our mom? Old man, you say you’re not interested in that woman, yet you remember so clearly?"

"You brat! Is that all men and women mean to you? Can’t I just be cherishing talent? That year, I sent a Muay Thai champion to compete. He was nearly crippled by her, and it was just sheer luck that she missed by a few inches and spared him... It’s a pity, though. She was so loyal to her Boss she couldn’t be swayed. Otherwise..."

Although Siyeh had retired from the Jianghu, mentioning this matter still filled him with regret.

If he had been able to pry the woman away for the Hu Family back then, the Hu Family wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation now. Thinking of his adoptive father’s current circumstances, Siyeh frowned.

"So, was she the ’Marshal of the Second Path’ in that tournament?" Suizi’s excitement surged, and she displayed the face of an adoring fan.

"No, she withdrew from the finals. The one who won the championship was a member of her society, the crown prince. Everyone knew that her withdrawal, allegedly due to exhaustion, was deliberate, to give the honor to the son of her Boss. Such a pity, indeed."

"Which society did she belong to?" Suizi, for some reason, grew extremely curious about that woman.

"Didn’t you notice what was embroidered on her clothes?"

Clothes? Suizi hadn’t paid attention, too busy observing the woman’s stunning beauty and cool posture to notice details.

"An enormous insect crawling all over, perhaps?" ventured Yu Jingting.

"What insect? It’s a majestic dragon soaring in the sky! She’s from the Tianlong Society."

The Tianlong Society! Suizi was thrilled, unconsciously picturing Yu Youchan’s old face.

She was under Yu Youchan’s command... Now Suizi’s thoughts were in sync with Siyeh’s, lamenting the waste of such talent.

Yu Jingting, looking at Suizi’s spirited face, found her suspicious. Why was this young woman so interested in that other woman?

Just as he was about to ask, he heard Siyeh add another line.

"After we get back, Yu Tiegen, don’t you go babbling nonsense to your mom. If I find out, you’re dead! And there’s no chance with Jinnan either, she doesn’t even like men. Everyone knows that. Of course, it’s not like I’m saying all this because I’m scared. Got it?"

Yu Jingting was about to snort at his dad. The old man sure was addicted to fearing his wife, rattling on like that just because he was afraid of tittle-tattle with mom.

Wait a minute, something’s not quite right—

"She doesn’t like men?!"

"That’s the rumor, but whether it’s true or not, I don’t know. I’m not interested in women other than your mom." With a meaningful glance at his daughter-in-law, Siyeh implied that this was something that could be passed on to Huahua.
