Chapter 119: Stay away, be careful of getting blood on you

The three of them found a barbecue restaurant that was still open along the street.

There weren't many customers in the shop, only a few scattered tables. They sat down near the air conditioner. Gu Lianxing took out her phone, scanned the code, and handed it to Pili, "You order. To express my gratitude, I'll treat this meal!"

"Gratitude? Gratitude for what?" Pili asked with a confused expression.

Gu Lianxing opened her big eyes and said, "Of course, it's to thank you for taking us to such an interesting place. Seriously, I've only seen this scene in movies today. I never thought I'd see it in real life, and on the scene at that."

Shen Ci looked at her and chuckled, "Weren't you scared and wanting to pull me away earlier? How come you seem to be still wanting more now?"

"The fear was real, but the excitement was also real. I think it's even more exciting than a roller coaster."

Hearing this, Jin Pili just pouted, "Whatever. Anyway, if you're treating, I'll just order whatever."

"You order. Order whatever you want to eat."

Shen Ci suddenly thought of business at this time and looked at Gu Lianxing, "Lianxing, can I trouble your father for a favor?"

"My dad?" Gu Lianxing was stunned and subconsciously asked in return, "Why are you looking for my dad instead of me?"

"There's a national artificial intelligence technology exchange conference in the middle of the month, right here in Longcheng. I want to get an invitation for Senior Brother Luo's team. Can you handle this?"

"I can't handle that," Gu Lianxing admitted quickly, but then agreed, "Then I'll help you ask my dad. Usually, this kind of exchange conference is hosted by our Gu family. He definitely has a way."

Shen Ci nodded with a smile, "If Uncle is willing to help, I'll find an opportunity to thank him in person."

Gu Lianxing waved her hand indifferently, "No need to be polite with him."

Jin Pili returned the phone to Gu Lianxing after ordering. Gu Lianxing took a look and couldn't help but be shocked, "It's all meat. You can keep such a good figure eating like this?"

"The daily consumption is also high. If I don't eat meat, I feel like I have no strength," Pili explained.

Shen Ci looked at her exposed arms. Actually, they weren't much thicker than her own, but they just looked very powerful because the muscle lines were very obvious.

"Pili, you practice martial arts, right?" Shen Ci asked.

Jin Pili nodded.

Gu Lianxing said excitedly, "Then can Shen Ci and I learn? Those moves you used today were really too cool. You stunned me. That boxer with such a big build was knocked down by you in two or three moves. I also want to be as powerful as you."

"It's too late for you two to learn martial arts now," Pili shook her head and explained earnestly, "Learning martial arts is most particular about 'childhood foundation.' You have to build a foundation from a young age. I've been practicing since I was three, and I haven't slacked off for a day all these years. An adult's skeleton is basically formed. Learning martial arts halfway will be very strenuous. You can't endure this hardship."

Gu Lianxing really didn't look like someone who could endure hardship.

And Shen Ci had no intention of learning martial arts to endure this hardship at all.

"But it's quite rare to see girls learning martial arts," Shen Ci said casually.

Hearing this, Pili couldn't help but sigh, "There aren't many boys either. There aren't many martial arts schools left in the country. Plus, many parents now choose 'Taekwondo' or 'Judo' as their first choice, which are much easier compared to 'Chinese Martial Arts.' In the end, it's because practicing martial arts is too bitter. Parents can't bear it."

"Then who did you learn from?" Shen Ci asked curiously.

"From my master. I grew up in my master's martial arts hall since I was a child."

Growing up in the master's martial arts hall but not mentioning her own parents, Shen Ci sensitively sensed something, but didn't delve into it, just nodded silently.

The barbecue tasted average, no wonder the business was deserted, but Pili still ate it with great relish, as if she thought the taste was not bad.

Who knew that just as the three were eating and chatting, someone from the only other table of guests in the shop suddenly stood up and walked toward them.

Pili instinctively showed a vigilant expression and looked up at the fat, middle-aged man.

His greasy face was flushed red, clearly having drunk alcohol, but his walking pace wasn't unsteady, showing he wasn't drunk.

"Beauties, give me some face and have a drink together!"

The man came to their table, stood behind Gu Lianxing, and made a move to put his hand on Gu Lianxing's shoulder while speaking.

Gu Lianxing reacted quickly. She leaned to one side and quickly leaned toward Pili on the other side, following up with, "What are you doing? We don't even know you!"

The man's action missed, but he wasn't annoyed, instead laughing, "You'll know each other after a drink, right? We're also three men, isn't that perfect? If you don't want to drink here, we can go to KTV. How about we brothers treat you to singing?"

"No need. We're finished eating and preparing to leave, otherwise the dorm will be closed."

Shen Ci said this and stood up. She didn't want to get entangled with this kind of man; she found it disgusting.

Who knew that the other party's eyes lit up upon hearing her words, "Are you sisters university students? University students are good. Which university? If the dorm is closed, don't go back to the dorm. Brother will open a hotel for you, a five-star hotel."

None of the three paid any attention to him. They stood up and wanted to leave from the other side.

Seeing that his hot face was stuck to a cold butt, the man felt that he couldn't save face. His two brothers behind him were still watching.

Almost subconsciously, he reached out to grab them, "You motherf..."

As a result, the person he grabbed this time happened to be Jin Pili. Before that salty pig hand could touch Pili, it was clamped by her wrist as she quickly reached out.

Cold light flashed in Pili's eyes. She exerted force and bent it downward. Before the man could finish his words, he followed with a scream: Ah—!

She flew up with a kick, directly kicking the man who weighed nearly two hundred pounds, making him stagger back repeatedly, and then his whole body directly knocked over the tables and chairs behind him, falling to the ground in a mess!

"Ugh—"

The man only felt his stomach churning. Before he could crawl up, he vomited all over himself, all of which was what he had just eaten mixed with beer, which was disgusting to the extreme.

And this huge commotion also attracted the attention of the shop owner, but before he could come over to check the situation, the man's other two companions had already rushed up aggressively.

Jin Pili stuffed her bag into Shen Ci's hand and said faintly, "Stay away, be careful of getting blood on you!"

Shen Ci reached out to take it and replied, "Don't be soft-hearted and suffer a loss. As long as you don't beat them to death, I'll pay!"

Hearing this, Jin Pili curled her lips into a smile. As she turned, she hooked her foot to pick up a metal chair by her feet, and then faced the man rushing up without even blinking, swinging it out heavily.

The person in front was hit by the chair, groaned, and fell to the ground. Jin Pili walked up quickly without expression, picked up another chair, and greeted them with it.

Gu Lianxing watched in a daze, unable to help worrying about the other party, "Will there really be no fatalities..." ===== CHAPTER 120 =====
