Chapter 69 Instructs Two People in Martial Arts
The four people watched the playful elves from their recliners, their minds becoming more relaxed, and gradually they all drifted off to sleep. At this moment, as a competent butler, Uncle Xiao had the Mr. Mime use his telekinesis to place four parasols next to their recliners one by one.
Time passed by, and ten minutes before the afternoon class bell rang, Uncle Xiao gently woke Chen Qianqian up. After all, she was a good student and had to attend class, unlike the three of them who were lying down. However, looking at the three of them, Uncle Xiao couldn't help but feel envious. He thought about how miserable he was when he was in school, and how happy they were now.
"Uncle Xiao, aren't Tian and the others going to class this afternoon?" Chen Qianqian asked, though she knew the three of them had only attended one class in the morning, she didn't know they weren't planning to have class in the afternoon either.
Uncle Xiao patiently explained, "Yes, Miss Qianqian, because a construction team and people from Devon Company came over this afternoon, and Xiaotian said he would talk to them personally, so he also took the afternoon off."
In the morning, after Xuan Mingtian and his group returned from catching chickens, Uncle Xiao had already informed the former that the two teams would be coming in the afternoon. However, even so, Xuan Mingtian had no intention of attending class in the afternoon.
Chen Qianqian shrugged indifferently and tiptoed to her feet, probably afraid of disturbing the trio's quest for sleep.
Bang, bang, bang! Not long after, a series of collision sounds pulled the three of them back from the surrounding area.
"Big shrew, I told you not to take up space."
While still half asleep, Xuan Mingtian vaguely heard someone praising his intelligence, but the next second, a small jet of water hit his face.
Startled, Xuan Mingtian instantly woke up. It turned out that the little cutie had used the water gun to wake him up. Not only did he enjoy this benefit, but Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were no exception. After all, good things should be shared.
"Little cutie, what are you doing? You actually used a water gun to spray my face! Let me tell you, if I don't grow up to be as handsome as you guys, it's all your fault."
But before Xuan Mingtian could finish speaking, a yellow current instantly flowed out from Xiao Ke'ai's body and quickly flew towards Xuan Mingtian.
In less than a second, his originally handsome suit hairstyle was transformed into a spiky hairstyle.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin couldn't hold back any longer, and a series of duck-like quacking sounds emanated from their mouths.
But their good fortune didn't last long. Two bolts of electricity shot towards them, and the same hairstyle appeared on their heads. Xiao Gang's hairstyle, which was originally like that of a Saiyan, became even more voluminous.
"You have the nerve to say that? Dehua and Xiaota usually use small reclining chairs, which don't take up much space. Look at the three of you, how are Potian and the others supposed to train like this?"
Little Old Mother Cute told the three of them in an extremely serious tone.
Fortunately, the three of them realized this and got up to leave their spots to the elves. After all, the backyard was their exclusive territory, and what if they caused a commotion and had to split up?
After the three of them tidied up the recliners, Uncle Xiao walked over at just the right moment, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Xiao Tian, pfft, the construction team is already waiting in the living room."
Xuan Mingtian sensed that Uncle Xiao was suppressing a laugh, so he glared at him and said, "I understand, I'll go now."
Xuan Mingtian then forcibly took Xiao Gang and Yang Bin with him to meet the construction team. After all, if he went out alone with his spiky hair, people would laugh at him, but if the three of them went out with their spiky hair, the pressure would be shared.
When the trio entered the living room, the two members of the construction team were dumbfounded. They both wondered if the three of them were sleeping in a pile of Magnemite, but that was just their opinion.
Since the two were there to discuss business, given their professionalism, they wouldn't laugh even if something was really funny, unless they couldn't help it.
Xuan Mingtian looked at the two men, whose faces were flushed from holding their breath, and said, "Hello, what are your names?"
"Greetings, young masters. My name is A-Jian, and this is my younger brother, A-Zhu. Our company is the most famous construction company in Changqing City."
The construction brothers suppressed their laughter and instead introduced the company's strengths to the three of them.
After they finished their introductions, Uncle Xiao immediately pulled out a newly drawn blueprint of the renovation of the small courtyard from behind him.
After taking the project, the construction team knew roughly how to expand it after just one glance.
Because this project involves very little work, it only requires fencing off 500 square meters of land near the backyard, planting 12-meter-tall trees at 6 marked locations near the fence, and building three small wooden houses, each 1 meter high and 70 centimeters wide, on each tree.
Upon seeing these standards, the construction brothers instantly understood the purpose of planting tall trees and building small wooden houses—to provide shelter for bird spirits. However, one question puzzled them.
The construction brothers voiced their doubts: "Young masters, is this a fence? It looks a bit like a stick used to mark territory."
But Xuan Mingtian said frankly, "It's fine. It's 1.5 meters high, with one pole spaced 1 meter apart, and there are no obstructions in between. I think this kind of fence is very suitable."
"Xiao Tian, if you want the free-range elves to come and freeload, you can block the top of the stick, leaving an opening so they can blatantly squeeze in," Xiao Gang suggested.
Xiao Gang's words instantly made Xuan Mingtian's eyes light up; it was a very good suggestion.
“Boss Jian, you heard what Xiao Gang said, right? Just do as he said, and also break through the backyard fence, leaving a 4-meter gap.”
After hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, the construction workers nodded and said, "Yes, young master, we understand. We will start work tomorrow."
After some discussion, the renovation plan for the small courtyard has completed its second step, and now all that's left is to wait.
After welcoming the construction brothers out of the small courtyard, Uncle Xiao said to Xuan Mingtian, "Xiao Tian, the people from Dewen Company should be here soon. Why don't you wait for them?"
Because Uncle Xiao had already observed Xuan Mingtian's desire to go for a stroll.
Fortunately, Xuan Mingtian suppressed his urge to wander around, since wandering around was not as important as the metal soil, so Xuan Mingtian nodded in agreement.
The three then went to the backyard again to watch the elves train.
However, Xuan Mingtian noticed that there were quite a few residents who did not belong to the small courtyard: 2 Psyducks, 5 Slowpokes, 3 Paras, and 6 Poliwags.
Yang Bin, who wanted to tease them, was stopped by Xuan Mingtian because there was a very important task for them today: to teach them martial arts.
“Xiao Gang and Bin, you need to understand that it’s very easy to have a good body, but it’s very difficult to have a good body that knows martial arts. Now I’m going to pass on my family’s martial arts to you.” Xuan Mingtian said, standing in front of the two of them.
"Oh no, Brother Tian, we still have to go to school, where would we find the time?" Yang Bin said with a slightly desperate expression.
“No arguments. Starting tomorrow, get up at 7 a.m. to practice for one hour each time. I will also practice with you.” Xuan Mingtian said to the two of them in a serious tone.
When Yang Bin heard that Xuan Mingtian was also practicing, all the gloom dissipated. After all, even the person who loved to sleep in the most was practicing together, so there was nothing to say.
However, Xuan Mingtian still wanted to give them some sweetness: "Let me tell you, this is my family's martial art. If you practice it to a certain level, you can fight against a monster with super strength. Imagine that you can defeat a monster with super strength in hand-to-hand combat. Then you can become the goal of countless girls."
Under Xuan Mingtian's barrage of promises and incentives, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin's eyes blazed with astonishing fighting spirit. Their goal wasn't to become the girl's target, but to defeat the monstrous strength.
After a moment, Xiao Gang chose Bajiquan, while Yang Bin chose Hung Gar.
Xuan Mingtian had the highest hopes for Xiao Gang, because he could imagine the scene where Xiao Gang and Xiao Zhi went on a trip together, and Xiao Zhi disobeyed and was beaten up by Xiao Gang with Bajiquan.
"Brother Tian, hurry up, my broadsword is itching for a fight."
Xiao Gang's lips twitched as he looked at the impatient Yang Bin, thinking to himself, "Is Bin really not afraid of Qianqian? Should I tattle on him tonight? But I haven't had any gossip for hours, so I'll just have to watch tonight."
Having made up his mind, Xiao Gang's narrowed eyes revealed a sinister aura.
"Alright, don't rush. You have to understand that if humans want to learn to run, they have to learn to walk first. It's the same with martial arts. To learn to fight, you have to first get into a proper stance. This is a necessary step in martial arts training. If your stance is unstable and you go to fight someone, then one groin kick from them will leave you kneeling on the ground begging for mercy."
After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he immediately demonstrated a basic high horse stance and continued, "This is for beginners. Its purpose is to reduce the pressure on beginners. This is called a high horse stance. If your skills become more and more profound, then you can practice a low horse stance."
Xiao Gang and Yang Bin were seen imitating Xuan Mingtian's high horse stance in a very convincing manner, while Po Tian, who was not far away, also stopped training and came in front of the three of them to assume a low horse stance.
"Potian, go practice by yourself. You've already mastered it. Xiaogang and Binzai are beginners and can't compare to you."
However, Xuanmingtian's words had no effect at all, because it also wanted to learn these skills.
"Xiao Gang and Binzi, you two hold the horse stance for now, and stop when your legs really can't take it anymore." After Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he led Potian to the side.
At this moment, both a human and an elf were squatting on the ground, while Xuan Mingtian was drawing two miniature butterfly swords on the ground with a twig.
That's right, what Xuan Mingtian wanted to teach Potian was the Eight-Cut Saber Technique from Wing Chun. Although it was very different from Potian's sword arm, the cutting techniques were similar.
"Potian, carve what I drew out of wood."
After responding, Po Tian walked to the wooden target not far away, then quickly swung his sword arm, sending wood chips flying everywhere. A moment later, two miniature butterfly swords were thrown in front of Xuan Mingtian.
Xuan Mingtian said blankly, "Potian, it's a waste of your talent not to be a carpenter. Why don't we change careers?"
