Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Cats and Dogs

The five of them took a stroll around Hidden Dragon Villa, where Su Yang and Wang Shuya talked about old times, both feeling quite nostalgic. Three years may not sound long, but it’s not short either; a lot has changed since then.

Among the things Wang Shuya mentioned, one caught Su Yang’s attention: it was about the classmate he had injured. After the huge change in Fatty’s family, that classmate had moved directly to the provincial capital.

Since his return, Su Yang had been asking Master Fang to investigate this matter. In fact, with Su Yang’s abilities, he could have easily wiped out Liao Yuxuan long ago.

However, Su Yang didn’t want him to die so easily; he wanted to clarify what happened three years ago. He intended to repay the suffering he had endured a thousandfold, a hundredfold upon Liao Yuxuan.

But even after Master Fang investigated for such a long time, aside from finding some oddities about the Liao Family, no other discoveries were made. Even the classmate Su Yang had injured seemed to have vanished without a trace, impossible to find.

Only now did Su Yang find out that his classmate had left Nanluo City a long time ago. It seemed that someone had intentionally made them move, erasing any leads to the incident.

Hu Ke and her companions followed behind Su Yang and Wang Shuya, their faces sour as they saw the two chatting merrily.

Zhou Lin coughed lightly and gestured with his eyes to Hu Ke, then looked over at Hee Quan.

Understanding the signal, Hu Ke immediately walked up and put her arm around Wang Shuya, smiling and saying, "Shuya, we didn’t come to this Martial Arts Conference just to sightsee. How about we go check out that performance match over there? What do you think?"

Wang Shuya had always loved martial arts and, hearing this, was thrilled, saying to Su Yang, "Su Yang, shall we go take a look?"

Since Su Yang hadn’t found Ding Qiuhuan yet, he planned to watch the Martial Arts Conference first. After all, Ding Qiuhuan would definitely show up today, and then he could settle his score with him.

"Sounds good," Su Yang nodded.

A cold smirk crossed Hu Ke’s face; this was exactly the outcome she wanted. In the Martial Arts Conference, Hee Quan was in his element, and she thought that Su Yang wouldn’t even be able to make a peep later.

The performance competition was divided into several rings, and the group arrived at one of the open-air ones. At that moment, two people were cautiously testing each other in the ring. Occasionally, a sophisticated move would draw cheers from the crowd, creating an exceptionally fervent atmosphere.

"Not bad at all!" Wang Shuya was visibly excited.

"Heh..." Zhou Lin immediately sneered, "What’s so good about this? In front of Brother Hee, this is nothing but child’s play!"

"Exactly!" added Hu Ke immediately, "My brother is a master of Provincial Capital Fierce Dragon Martial Arts; there aren’t many in the provincial capital who can match him. Here in Nanluo City, a small place like this, my brother would sweep them all away with one move!"

"Really?" Wang Shuya looked towards Hee Quan, excitement in her eyes.

Finally, a smile appeared on Hee Quan’s face as he spoke leisurely, "As the saying goes, you know a master by his stroke."

"Those two are following Taekwondo and Sanda styles, respectively. Their moves look flashy, but compared to our National Art, they’re just unsophisticated, unreliable street techniques. Maybe okay for a show, but utterly useless in a real fight."

"That’s why such people can only perform in these warm-up shows outdoors; they can’t even get onto the real stage. It’s inside the Martial Arts Conference where the true masters gather!"

Hu Ke was even more pleased and excitedly said, "These fancy but ineffective moves are just annoying to watch. Brother, why don’t you give a performance out here?"

"Fighting them? There’s no fun in that!" Hee Quan said with disdain.

Zhou Lin immediately said, "That’s right, with Brother Quan’s strength, he would reign supreme in the tournament. Out here, what’s the difference between that and bullying kids?"

"Heh heh..." Hee Quan said with a smug face, slowly adding, "But this martial arts conference in Nanluo City isn’t very interesting. Lin Kai, who won first place in the Nanluo City Martial Arts Conference, I’ve sparred with him before, and he’s just so-so. Therefore, this Nanluo City Martial Arts Conference can’t compare to the Provincial Capital’s!"

Hu Ke was even more proud, saying, "Brother, since we’re not doing anything right now, why not let these country bumpkins see the strength of our Provincial Capital Martial Arts Conference? That way they won’t spend all their time with their heads in the sand, thinking they’re something special, when any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they’re a martial artist!"

As Hu Ke said the last few sentences, her eyes were skewing toward Su Yang; it was clear she was directing these words at him.

Su Yang did not speak but just smiled faintly as he watched Hee Quan. Su Yang had to admit Hee Quan might have some skill, but he absolutely did not believe that Hee Quan could go toe-to-toe with Lin Kai!

"Alright, since my little sister has put it that way, I might as well give a performance," said Hee Quan as he took off his coat and stepped straight up to the ring.

After several bouts, Hee Quan knocked down three challengers in a row, whipping the crowd into a frenzy.

Below, Hu Ke clapped so hard her hands were red, her face flush with excitement, while Wang Shuya looked on with admiration.

"Brother, that was awesome!" Hu Ke shouted excitedly, then turned to Su Yang, "Hey, Su the Great Expert, aren’t you here to compete in the martial arts event as well? How about it, why don’t you go up and have a round with my brother?"

"There’s no need to fight," Su Yang said with a faint smile, shaking his head. Before he could find Ding Qiuhuan, he didn’t want to reveal his hand. Otherwise, if Ding Qiuhuan found out about his strength and ran away, wouldn’t his trip have been in vain?

"What is it, not necessary, or are you scared?" Hu Ke looked at Su Yang with contempt, "Hmmph, are all the people in Nanluo City as cowardly as this? Don’t you have any competitive spirit?"

"Keke..." Wang Shuya quickly tried to stop Hu Ke, whispering, "Su Yang probably hasn’t trained much, don’t make things difficult for him, okay?"

Hu Ke said coldly, "How is this making things difficult? I just think that as a man, you have to stand for something. You can lose, but you can’t be a coward. If you don’t even dare to step into the ring, how can you call yourself a man?"

Wang Shuya’s face also showed some embarrassment; the Su Yang she knew in the past wasn’t like this. Even if he knew he was outmatched, Su Yang had never admitted defeat before. The Su Yang now seemed to have changed, and she found it hard to understand.

"Enough, Keke," Hee Quan said as he stepped down from the ring, with a smile, "We shouldn’t force people to do what they don’t want to! Besides, those of us who practice martial arts shouldn’t bully the weak, right?"

The implication was that he was strong and Su Yang was weak, which was why he didn’t wish to bully the weak.

Su Yang just laughed it off; this Hee Quan really had an overestimated opinion of himself. With his meager skills, he wouldn’t get far in the Nanluo City tournament, yet he dared to challenge Lin Kai?

While talking, he acted so pretentiously, as though he was some great master. Little did he know that, in Su Yang’s eyes, he was nothing but a jumping clown!

If it weren’t for the need to find Ding Qiuhuan, Su Yang could squash such a jumping clown with just a flick of his finger!
