“Yeah, why? You don’t believe it?”
After all, Long Qingyang’s appearance was simply too unconvincing. If he looked like his impressive disciple, no one would question him being a Heaven Rank master!
“He’s actually a Earth Rank master!” Wang Ziyan exclaimed, completely ignoring me as she dashed over to Long Qingyang, who was crouching on the ground sm0king.
“Wait for me!” I snapped out of my daze and hurried after her.
Long Qingyang had a notoriously strange temper; I hoped this girl wouldn’t offend him.
Just as I feared, Wang Ziyan kicked Long Qingyang, who was still squatting. Was he about to explode in anger? Wang Ziyan couldn’t even handle me, let alone Long Qingyang. I estimated the old man could crush her with a single finger.
But shockingly, Long Qingyang didn’t dodge at all; he was sent tumbling onto his back by her kick. What the hell? Wasn’t he supposed to be a Earth Rank master?
“Ouch, ouch…” Even more surprising, Long Qingyang began howling in pain.
Wang Ziyan paused, a hint of pity crossing her face, but she huffed, “What Earth Rank master!” With that, she shot me a glare and turned to leave.
I couldn’t care less about Wang Ziyan’s attitude; I rushed over to help Long Qingyang up. “Master, are you alright?”
“Ouch, ouch…” Long Qingyang continued groaning. Once Wang Ziyan was out of sight, he quickly got to his feet and lit his pipe. “That girl has good bone structure; she’s material for martial arts!”
Seeing Long Qingyang looking spirited again, I was taken aback. Wait! So he was just pretending earlier!
“Give this back to her…” Long Qingyang pulled out a red object from behind his waist and shoved it into my hand.
I stared at it in disbelief. What the hell! Who’s lace b*ra is this? No way it’s Wang Ziyan’s! He managed to unhook her b*ra in such a short time without being discovered. This Long Qingyang was terrifying—truly a master of masters!
Still, I cautiously asked, “Is this from that girl?”
“Exactly,” Long Qingyang replied nonchalantly, his expression as if he were a sage.
D*mn! How could he act so righteous after doing something so sleazy?
Seeing me frozen, he glanced my way. “Once you master the art of stealing, this will be your next training task.”
Are you kidding me? I don’t have your level of skills!
Pretending not to hear, I quickly chased after Wang Ziyan. She was only wearing a white tank top now that her b*ra was gone, and it would be obvious. I had to return it to her. Long Qingyang had a sick sense of humor; the girl had just kicked him, and he had already taken her personal item!
It seemed Long Qingyang was a petty person; I needed to avoid offending him in the future.
“Ziyan, wait a minute!” I shouted as I spotted her.
Wang Ziyan paused for a moment but didn’t stop. I hurried to block her path, awkwardly saying, “You dropped something.”
“Go away!” Wang Ziyan shot me a glare and tried to push past. As she walked, her two assets swayed freely without the restraint of a b*ra.
The sudden view left me parched; little Xia Tian wanted to rise and become big Xia Tian.
Suppressing my desires, I quickly took off my jacket. Since I was practicing my agility and eyesight, I had worn a jacket to conceal myself; I didn’t expect it would actually come in handy now.
Taking a step forward, I prepared to drape the jacket over Wang Ziyan. But just then, little Xia Tian stirred again and bumped against her abdomen.
“What are you doing?!” Wang Ziyan’s face flushed, taking a step back, clearly misunderstanding my intentions.
But with little Xia Tian acting up, how could she not misinterpret it?
D*mn! Why does little Xia Tian always have to cause trouble at critical moments? I wanted to smash it for embarrassing me!
Forcing myself to throw the jacket over Wang Ziyan’s shoulders, I stammered, “Um… your thing is in the pocket of this jacket. I’ll just leave now!”
I dashed away, leaving Wang Ziyan standing there in shock. Seriously, if I stayed any longer, I would be dead meat.
As expected, I had barely run a few steps when I heard Wang Ziyan’s furious shout: “Xia… Tian!!!!”
Ignoring her, I quickened my pace, rushing to Long Qingyang, scooped him up, and tossed him into the car. I shouted at the driver, “Drive fast, back to the base!”
The driver paused for a moment but then complied, starting the engine and heading toward the base.
Glancing back, I saw that Wang Ziyan hadn’t chased after us, and I breathed a sigh of relief. She must be going to change clothes…
“The mission hasn’t been completed yet. Why are we rushing back?” Long Qingyang continued smoking his pipe in the car, filling it with smoke.
I rolled down the window, annoyed, and said, “We can’t finish it today. We’ll find another place to continue practicing tomorrow.”
“I’ll give you three days. If you can’t handle it with ease, I’ll resign and ask Mr. Qin for my leave!” Long Qingyang’s tone was flat, but the underlying meaning was anything but.
I wore a bitter expression. “Can you please not threaten me, Master?”
“Only under pressure do we find motivation…” After saying that, Long Qingyang tucked his pipe into his waistband and laid back on the seat, dozing off.
Initially, I viewed Long Qingyang as just an old man. But after talking with the special forces and experiencing this incident, he had become increasingly mysterious in my eyes.
Back at the base, Long Qingyang lazily yawned and waved at the group of special forces training. “Continue beating this brat!” He then flopped onto a nearby sofa and fell asleep.
“Brothers, can we take a break for a while?” I laughed awkwardly. Although I had nearly grown accustomed to the torment after half a month, seeing those six big men always made my heart twitch. After all, I was the one getting hit!
One of the smaller special forces members walked up to me, patted my shoulder, sighed, and said helplessly, “Little brother, we understand it’s tough for you, but we can’t go against Master Long’s orders. If we do, we’ll be the ones getting beaten!”
You guys are special forces! Are you kidding me? Afraid of an old man?
Before I could respond, that special forces member waved his hand and shouted, “Brothers, go!”
“Damn! This is ridiculous!” I yelled and turned to run, but was quickly grabbed and dragged back as fists and feet came raining down on me.
Why am I so unlucky?!

I will be creating products in the Shop section with the title of the webnovels. It will only have an image as the product, but it will count as the payment for the Sponsored Chapters.
