Chapter 827 - 827: Lv Ziming Reports In

Generally speaking, by this stage, ordinary people would feel too embarrassed to refuse further.

Even if they don't plan to attend, due to courtesy, they would accept the invitation and express that they will try to make time to attend to avoid embarrassing both parties.

However, Du Qingyue had no fondness for this couple at all.

Because of their improper education, they ruined the life of a young girl in her prime. Now, their reason for donating to build a church is likely to whitewash themselves, which is disgusting no matter how you think about it.

But just when she was about to refuse outright and block any further discussion, she saw Xiao Feng take the invitation and say, "We'll be there."

Xu Chun was slightly stunned for a moment but then nodded, "Thank you. We still have to visit another family, see you in the afternoon."

After the couple left, Xiao Feng opened the invitation, revealing the exact time, which was that afternoon at 2 PM, with the location described clearly as near the farmer's market.

More precisely, right in front of the welfare center.

The reason Xiao Feng accepted the invitation was naturally to have more contact with Nie Longjiao.

Even though he had Nie Lan and Nie Shouping's assistance, it didn't mean he could be complacent; personal effort was still very necessary.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't go even if you had the time?" Du Qingyue asked suspiciously.

She clearly remembered Xiao Feng's initial reaction, directly throwing the invitation into the trash.

But now, why such a change in attitude?

Xiao Feng showed no expression, thinking quickly to find an excuse: "My intuition tells me that this couple has ulterior motives, it's definitely not just about showing support."

"Even if there are other motives, it's got nothing to do with us, right?"

"You can't say that. Most of the people going this time are Jinyue Garden residents, all of whom must be wealthy. They can completely become potential clients," Xiao Feng shrugged. "Anyway, there's no loss in going."

"Go by yourself then; I'm not going to give them the time of day," Du Qingyue stated clearly.

Having said that, she walked back inside.

"Old Xiao, this doesn't really seem like your style," Zhao Guo'an said with a somewhat schadenfreude tone.

Xiao Feng glanced at him, chuckled lightly, "You should be glad you're injured now; otherwise, I'd definitely drag you along."

"Why do I have to go with you, why insist on dragging me along?" Zhao Guo'an complained.

Xiao Feng slightly frowned, "Haven't I told you before? With you by my side, I feel especially safe."

Zhen Jinghan, hearing this, had a strange look in her eyes—it sounded so awkward.

As she was wondering, she heard Xiao Feng explain, "Because every time there's trouble, you take the hit first, all the dangers come to you first, saving me quite a bit of hassle."

With those words, Zhen Jinghan's feeling of awkwardness immediately vanished.

But Zhao Guo'an was quite depressed. So, was he just a mine detector?

…

By noon, Lv Ziming came reporting in with bags in hand.

According to the first-come, first-served principle, like Lao Ha and Aspergillus oryzae, he had no right to sleep indoors and could only camp in the living room.

Lv Ziming didn't mind this at all, accepting it with ease.

"Put your luggage down, let's have a good bout," Xiao Feng casually instructed.

Mainly because previously, conditions limited him from crushing Lv Ziming with absolute strength.

Thus, Xiao Feng felt that Lv Ziming might have felt somewhat unconvinced.

And what better way to establish authority than demonstrating absolute strength?

"Sure!" Lv Ziming obeyed, put down his luggage, and loosened up his body. He also wanted to witness Xiao Feng's power.

No extra words were exchanged, nor was there any talk about stopping at a certain point.

However, for the sake of fairness, Xiao Feng didn't use Thunder Pattern Steel, relying purely on techniques for combat.

Right at the start, Xiao Feng took the initiative, almost in the blink of an eye, disappearing from where he stood.

Lv Ziming was shocked, "Such speed!"

He extended his right arm, pivoted on his foot, and swung his fist to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

After a solid punch, Xiao Feng stepped back, while Lv Ziming stumbled back five steps before barely stabilizing himself.

His gaze focused in disbelief at Xiao Feng, who showed no signs of breathlessness, realizing that Xiao Feng could have absorbed the blow head-on without retreating if it wasn't for unloading force!

However, fighting relies not only on strength but also on considering various details.

Such as controlling the timing of the strike, predicting the opponent's reaction, quick adaptation speed, and so on.

These details seem trivial alone, but collectively, they're weights that can tip the balance towards victory.

"Again!" Xiao Feng shouted, moving swiftly to attack once more.

This time, he didn't confront directly but instead circled swiftly to the rear.

"Bang! Bang!"

After two punches, Lv Ziming staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."

As he coughed violently, an astonished look filled Lv Ziming's eyes.

The opponent's blows weren't heavy, yet at that moment, why did he feel such intense suffocation?!

He finally believed what Xiao Feng had said the other night about not being convenient to fight was true. If Xiao Feng had gone at him like that at the time, he wouldn't have lasted ten moves!

The gap!

An absolute gap!

"I lost. I admit defeat wholeheartedly, Boss is truly strong!" Lv Ziming said as he cupped his hands in a sign of respect, the unnatural flush on his face still unabated.

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, "The term 'Boss' sounds unpleasant; just call me Boss."

"Yes, Boss!" Lv Ziming immediately corrected himself.

It's just a title anyway, as long as it didn't touch ethical lines, he didn't care what he was called.

Xiao Feng sat back in the chair, took a sip of tea, and sighed, "Old Lv, your skills are really lacking."

Lv Ziming immediately hung his head in shame; though the words were harsh, they were factual. There was no room for argument.

"Alright, starting tomorrow, I'll teach you a set of moves. Once you're proficient, your skills will significantly improve," Xiao Feng mused, "Also, during your free time, feel free to spar with others.

Losing doesn't matter; the key is to understand why you lost, got it?"

"Got it!" Lv Ziming replied solemnly.

Only at this moment did he finally feel like he'd followed the right person.

Such formidable individual strength, coupled with subordinates who are all stronger than him.

In such an environment, it's practically impossible not to improve!

At this moment, Lao Ha tentatively spoke, "Boss, you see, having Aspergillus oryzae and me in the living room was fine."

Now with three people, it's a bit cramped. Can we rent another villa, so everyone can be more comfortable?"

"Sure thing," Xiao Feng agreed readily, "as long as you pay, not just a villa, but renting a yacht or a helicopter isn't impossible either."

"Forget it, forget it, just pretend I never said anything," Lao Ha quickly backtracked.
