Martial Arts Master Chapter 450

"Two groups?" Lou Cheng looked blankly and silently judged his master .

"This is a very unreliable move!

"Isn't he afraid of losing the Fighting Formula to others? Did he have to wait until I became available?

"Is testing his disciple more important than getting the Fighting Formula?

"Err . . . My master might actually say yes to this question . . .

"He never really cared much about the Nine Words Formula . . . "

Lou Cheng put the thoughts and emotions aside and gazed at Li Wanquan with half a smile .

"Two groups have come here for the pot before? And you are still here safe and sound? So you didn't lie to them . "

"Can I make money from lying to you? This is no joke!" answered Li Wanquan gruffly while making the same money-counting gesture again by rubbing his thumb and index finger . "I've heard about people working as consultants and making money by answering questions . "

"Bro, you are out . . . Get a Weibo account and everybody can make money by answering questions . . . " Lou Cheng's mouth twitched and he put on a smile . "How much?"

"Ten grand!" Li Wanquan's eyes shone as he gave the big number .

Lou Cheng chuckled . "I'd rather ask Aunt Xiu . Just heard them talking about some familiar outlanders lingering about looking for you recently . They might know where they are, right?"

He made up a threatening lie based on some logical reasoning . If the two groups had gotten it, there would be nothing he could do and the military should take it over .

However, if they hadn't succeeded, they would be in need of more information, so it's very likely they would return to question Li Wanquan and become familiar outlanders . It was impossible to tell if a person was lying through a phone call, since facial expressions and body motions were unavailable .

Li Wanquan's eyes blinked and he forced a smile . "What do they know? Well, you seem like a genuine guy . I'll settle for a few hundred bucks . "

"Sure . " Lou Cheng glanced at the counter and pointed at a delicate silver talisman . "800, including this . "

"Deal!" Li Wanquan took out the talisman quickly . "Here you go!"

" . . . Damn it! That was fast . . . I feel tricked . . . " Lou Cheng accepted the talisman and took out his wallet to pay with cash . He didn't want to pay through his mobile so that his personal information would stay safe .

Li Wanquan was all smiles with eight red 100 yuan bills in his hands . "Look for Old Nanny Qiu at 15 Wanhe Street . My dad was fooling around with her when my mom was still alive and often slept over . On the rare occasions where he came home, he usually brought my mom a wine pot he made himself . Yeah, the kind you are looking for . "

"Old Nanny Qiu at 15 Wanhe Street . . . " Lou Cheng memorized the name and the address before asking, "What kind of a woman is she?"

"A mysterious one . She rarely leaves her home . Such a beauty in her youth . . . " Li Wanquan lowered his voice . "She has had many lovers over the years, and they all shiver when talking about her . My dad was the same . . . "

Lou Cheng listened without a word . Afterward, he asked the residents in Zhengyun Ancient City who had answered his questions earlier to confirm Li Wanquan's story .

Carrying his backpack, he followed the map on his phone towards Wanhe Street .

This was a quiet back alley with houses that had been well maintained for over a century . Lou Cheng would've felt like a warrior in ancient times if the electricity wires and air conditioners could be ignored .

As Lou Cheng got closer to No . 15, his hair stood up and he could feel many eyes on him in the dark .

He passed Old Nanny Qiu's dwelling without stopping and looked about leisurely like a tourist .

Those intense eyes were withdrawn and the door of the No . 15 house opened with a squeak . Lou Cheng turned around and saw the man in black from the same bus step out .

His face was gloomy and his emotions were close to an explosion . He lowered his voice,

"She's gone!"

Abruptly, he burst into a laugh, loud and wild .

"Hahah . . . Hahah . . . "

The unbridled laugh echoed in the alley and ruined the tranquility and peace .

Lou Cheng had no intention to cover his shock and acted like a curious spectator, taking a video of this random crazy man .

Several enthusiastic and energetic youths ran out of the dark and surrounded the man in black . Lou Cheng's view was blocked .

Almost one minute later, the man in black calmed down and panted heavily . One of the youths walked towards Lou Cheng in a showy manner, attempting to scare him away .

Lou Cheng shook his head slightly and left at once .

"Old Nanny Qiu is pretty strange indeed . . .

"Seems like she is missing on purpose . How can I find her?"

Ideas flashed in Lou Cheng's head and he began to understand why his master had put him on this task .

"A martial artist can't stay in the ring all the time . It's important to learn to cope with complicated matters with martial arts, but I can't solely rely on it . "

…

Lou Cheng didn't return to 15 Wanhe Street . Instead, he wandered around in Zhengyun Ancient City like a proper tourist, took many photos, tried a few local dishes, and beat around the bush to gather information . He met the two girls who sat behind Lou Cheng on the bus to Zhengyun but never saw the man in black again .

He lied in bed with his phone around eight at night and browsed the local news aimlessly .

Finally, the special ringtone he had set for Yan Zheke sounded and she sent a stretching emoji . "I have finally overcome the jet lag . I was sleepy all the time . Now I'm fully charged!"

Then she added a smiley face with one hand covering its mouth . "Did they take another one after checking the photos you took for them?"

Messages flooded in as she replied to Lou Cheng, typing rapidly .

"I didn't look, but I guess so . . . " Lou Cheng began to share what he had experienced today delightedly and Yan Zheke responded actively whenever she had time . She sent a selfie over before heading out and asked proudly, "Cheng, how do I look?"

She wore a pair of blacked-edged glasses similar to Lou Cheng's, which covered half of her pretty face . Her hair was tied up into a boring ponytail and her clothes were simple jeans and a plain t-shirt .

"You don't have to look so old-fashioned . " Lou Cheng chuckled .

Yan Zheke used the working with a passion emoji . "Must! No distractions . Focus on study 100% . I'll work hard so I can graduate early and reunite with my Cheng soon . "

"Phew . . . I don't want you to get depressed . " Lou Cheng was very touched .

"I won't . Studying makes me happy!" Yan Zheke pushed up her sunglasses .

The conversation went on and off until Lou Cheng's bedtime . The next morning, he got up half an hour earlier . He said good morning to Yan Zheke and went straight to Old Nanny Qiu's home at 15 Wanhe Street in a dark martial arts suit .

He skipped the front gate and jumped into a neighboring yard fast like lightning in the dark silently .

Lou Cheng climbed another wall and snuck into Old Nanny Qiu's home in hopes of looking for some traces of her whereabouts . It should be pretty safe after their actions yesterday .

Lou Cheng landed on the ground and glanced through the yard in the dark, seeing many worn out bottles and pots accommodating water, plants, herbs, or disgusting excreta .

The ground was not flattened with cement . After the heavy rainfall last night, the yard was messy with two ditches .

Lou Cheng was approaching towards the door through the ditches and mud when it suddenly squeaked open . The noise was like a thunder striking at the peaceful dawn .

The door opened and a blurry, ghostly figure bumped into Lou Cheng in the dark .

Another martial artist came to explore this house before the sunrise like Lou Cheng .

Lou Cheng was stunned . So was the blurry figure . He froze and then took a deep breath, attempting to take the initiative to perform the Force Concentration and open a way out .

Lou Cheng's hair stood up and his Absolute Reaction took place . The astonishing Army Formula was drawn in his head, imposing and impressive .

He didn't make a sound as he didn't want to expose himself . Instead, he blended the feeling into his spirit and gave it off as a terrifying bearing .

The figure shivered, his right arm swollen and his fist frozen .

Lou Cheng lowered his weight and withdrew before releasing his blood and qi . He threw his fist out like a hammer .

Bam! A dull sound spread and the shadow hurried to withstand the attack, his body leaning backward immediately .

Lou Cheng withdrew his right fist and borrowed strength to concentrate his qi and blood once again smoothly .

Bang! His three punches and kicks knocked the enemy out .

Lou Cheng took a quick look at Old Nanny Qiu's house and memorized everything before leaving via the same route . In less than ten seconds, he began his morning exercises .

The shadow knocked over Old Nanny Qiu's dining table and felt desperate, about to give some dying kicks . However, when he finally got up, the enemy had vanished in the dark .

The storm of strikes was like a dream .

The shadow froze for a second and then took a deep breath . He then rushed out of Old Nanny Qiu's yard before the neighbors came for the noise .

He made several detours in an alert manner before returning to the guesthouse he was staying .

"Brother, how was it? Any discovery?" His junior brothers and sisters gathered up .

The shadow was a sturdy young man of 26 or 27 years old . His face darkened . "Nothing . I met an expert . . . "

"An expert?" a girl blurted out .

"Yes!" The shadow nodded heavily as the memory hit him .

He pulled the door open and saw a shadow standing outside in silence, his face blurry under the faint light and his body completely blended into the dark .

Before the enemy made any move, he had already felt stuck in a hopeless situation as if surrounded by many on all sides . His body and mind shivered and his will to fight collapsed .

The enemy's attacks came in waves and pushed him out of his stance within three or four bouts . He was terrified, feeling death approach .

Then the enemy vanished as if he had never existed .

Recalling the details, he sensed cold sweat on his back and felt his clothes dampen .

"Hurry! Inform the Sect and request for a master!" he commanded hurriedly and briefly .

One of his junior brothers frowned . "We haven't found Old Nanny Qiu yet . Isn't it too early to request for an elder?"

"No, it will be too late when Old Nanny Qiu is found!" said the senior brother without any doubt .
