Chapter 304: Qin Feng Recommends a Martial Arts Coach to Lin Meng

Hello, Lin Meng, Coach Cheng looks quite young; for Fifth Master to take you as his disciple, you must be pretty formidable, right?

Lin Meng politely shook hands with him.

Upon hearing that, Cheng Feng waved his hand, looking a bit shy.

At that moment, Qin Feng on the hospital bed suddenly said:

My master is no ordinary person—he's won the national Sanda championship two years in a row, also taken awards in freestyle fighting with ease, and he's only twenty‑seven, which is incredibly impressive.

Qin Feng said this while giving a thumbs‑up, clearly approving of Cheng Feng's ability.

Lin Meng had never seen Fifth Master praise someone so highly, so Cheng Feng must truly deserve the praise.

Upon hearing that, Cheng Feng quickly shook his head modestly and became shy.

No, no, Uncle Qin's description is a bit exaggerated—I'm not that formidable; I've retired and can only work as a coach now.

Lin Meng looked up at Cheng Feng; this big brother is handsome, strong and muscular, appearing quite robust, yet he has a shy personality and blushes after just a few words.

Seeing Lin Meng looking at him, Cheng Feng became even more flustered, his ears turning red.

Qin Feng watched this and couldn't help shaking his head inwardly.

This little master of his is strong in everything, but he's overly shy; only on the fighting stage can you see his true self.

Seeing the awkward atmosphere between them, and that Lin Meng had no intention to chat, Qin Feng took the initiative to bring up a topic.

He said to Lin Meng:

"Girl, I think you could also learn some martial arts appropriately, mastering some self‑defense techniques to protect yourself."

"Cheng Feng has plenty of real‑world combat experience; what he'll teach you isn't flashy showmanship but practical, life‑saving moves. A young girl like you living alone in Jing City would benefit from learning some martial arts."

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng understood—this was why Fifth Master had sent him over, to introduce her to someone he knew.

She had originally intended to refuse, but after thinking it over, she realized it wasn't out of the question.

Although the cultivation arts she studies are naturally more heaven‑defying, when it comes to actual combat experience, Lin Meng practically has none.

Learning some physical techniques from Coach Cheng Feng seems to have only benefits and no drawbacks.

So Lin Meng nodded and said:

"All right, thank you, Uncle, for introducing me to such an excellent coach."

"Coach Cheng, let's exchange contact info; later you tell me your rates and I'll transfer the payment."

Cheng Feng quickly pulled out his phone, but upon hearing that he said:

"Miss Lin, since you were introduced by Uncle Qin, I certainly can't take your money—I'll teach you for free."

Cheng Feng felt a little excited inside; he dared not look Lin Meng in the eyes but really wanted to see her, so while speaking he kept staring at her feet.

Lin Meng couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that with Fifth Master's personality, finding such a shy person as a coach was truly surprising, and she grew increasingly curious about Cheng Feng's abilities.

"Coach, if you won't take my money, I can't let you teach me—let's keep things fair."

At this point, Qin Feng also stepped in to make a decision.

"Little Master, don't be polite with her—if you don't take her money, I'll kick up a fuss, since you charge me three thousand per lesson; why is it free for her?"

Qin Feng said this aloud, but inside he was already muttering doubts.

"Could this brat have a crush on Lin Meng? Otherwise he wouldn't dare look her in the eye, only staring at her feet—something's fishy."

Qin Feng guarded against this possibility in his mind, yet he didn't regret introducing Cheng Feng to Lin Meng.

In his view, the martial arts Cheng Feng teaches are genuinely effective in real combat.

As a young woman, learning practical fighting techniques is better than anything else.

Lin Meng and Cheng Feng agreed to hold their first lesson in three days, after which she went home.

Her aunt and uncle had already prepared a table full of dishes waiting for Lin Meng's return.

Having someone at home waiting for her return was a feeling Lin Meng hadn't experienced in over three years.

This time, the suggestion that her aunt's family move in together proved to be the right choice.

At the dinner table, her aunt became more talkative and would share amusing things she'd seen online with Lin Meng.

"Little Meng, Aunt didn't know you'd actually filmed a variety show recently when you went out."

"Our Meng really is the most beautiful in a crowd—just one glance and even big‑name stars pale in comparison."

Her aunt praised her until she beamed with pride, feeling proud of Lin Meng.

Her uncle beside her also kept complimenting her, not forgetting to praise Lin Cuihua as well.

"You've also become prettier, especially after spending time with Little Meng—your spirit has improved and you look much younger."

Xu Hong said this and then couldn't help but look toward Lin Meng.

"Little Meng, Uncle really wants to thank you—if it weren't for you, my wife wouldn't have become so cheerful, and our whole family owes you gratitude!"

The three members of the Xu family all know that Lin Cuihua's physical ailments have completely healed, she's become very energetic, her facial skin, age spots, and other signs of aging have improved greatly, her whole appearance radiates vitality, and youth has returned.

They all understand that no matter how happy one's mood or how much melancholy is lifted, it's impossible for a disease to suddenly cure or for an aged face to instantly reverse; a person in their fifties now looks about as young as someone in their thirties.

Such an astonishing change must certainly be related to Lin Meng.

Their decision to leave Li City and come to Jing City to rely on Lin Meng was also partly due to Lin Cuihua's rejuvenation.

After that trip, when Lin Cuihua returned from Jing City to Li City, many neighbors noticed her dramatic change and whispered about it behind her back.

At the stone‑gambling venue, her coworkers also frequently asked her about the curious changes to her face.

Lin Cuihua could only say she had undergone a cosmetic procedure in Jing City, which temporarily silenced her coworkers, but that wasn't a real solution.

The three of them didn't tell Lin Meng about this, knowing she had her own secrets; they feared burdening her, so they all tacitly avoided mentioning it.

Lin Meng set down her chopsticks, saw her aunt and uncle looking at her with sincere faces, and felt warm inside.

She smiled and said:

"We're all one family, so we don't need to keep separate households."

Lin Cuihua heard this and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Exactly, exactly, Little Meng is right."

From now on, just do what you like; at home, your aunt and uncle will help manage things, so you can relax.

By the way, you said last time you wanted to fold gold ingots for the old master; I've already folded two big cardboard boxes—do you want to keep folding?

Lin Cuihua said, getting back to the matter, feeling a bit doubtful.

Xiao Meng seems to have an especially strong obsession with burning paper money for the old master; last time she burned an entire truckload in the village, which really startled her.

Not long after that, they actually have to fold gold ingots for the old master again.

Lin Meng heard this, fell into thought, and said:

When you have free time, just keep at it; better safe than sorry.

Who knows when grandpa will have spent all his money again?

Speaking of this, Lin Meng also felt doubtful in her heart; grandpa hasn't come to visit her in dreams for a while, and she doesn't know how he's doing down there.

He is a ghost cultivator, needing to cultivate his soul, yet he hasn't come to urge her to collect souls.

However, it's indeed time to go see Ye Xiu; he should have already started college……
