Chapter 404

Seeing this scene, the smile on Linna's face became even brighter, and she then walked to Ni Yongyao's side and crouched down.

One hour later.

Ni Yongyao and Linna arrived at the Central Viceroy's mansion and met Viceroy Norton.

"Hahaha, Ah Yao, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you look even better."

Norton patted Ni Yongyao's shoulder affectionately, his tone also very casual, without the slightest airs of a Viceroy.

Linna, who was on the side, heard this, her face slightly red.

"Come, come, come, try this; someone sent it yesterday, top-quality Havana cigars."

After Ni Yongyao and Norton sat down on the sofa, Norton took out an exquisite wooden box and said.

Opening the box, several cigars were neatly placed inside, and at the same time, a faint fragrance of tobacco wafted toward them.

Ni Yongyao picked up a cigar, sniffed it under his nose, and nodded, saying: "Not bad."

"As long as you like it, then I'll give it to you; I'm not used to smoking this stuff."

Norton said, picking up a pipe and smoking it happily.

This was a habit Norton had developed during the war; even after living in Hong Kong for decades, he still couldn't change it.

After some casual chatting between the two, Norton proposed to go play a round of golf to exercise their bodies.

Ni Yongyao readily agreed.

The golf course was not far from the Viceroy's mansion, and Ni Yongyao and Norton walked there in ten minutes. Also going along were Linna and Miss Xierlin. Having not seen Ni Yongyao for a while, Miss Xierlin appeared very excited at this moment, tightly holding Ni Yongyao's arm, her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

Golf course.

Norton picked up a golf club, swung it casually a few times, and said: "Ah Yao, how are your golf skills?"

"I haven't played before."

Ni Yongyao said.

"You haven't played golf? That won't do; how can you make friends in Hong Kong if you don't know how to play golf? How can you talk business?"

Norton shook his head and said: "But it doesn't matter; Miss Xierlin plays very well, let her teach you in a while."

In Hong Kong's upper-class society, golf is considered a way of socializing, and almost everyone knows a little bit; no matter how well they play, at least they can use this opportunity to close the distance with others.

However, for Ni Yongyao, this kind of socializing was not so necessary.

With Ni Yongyao's current strength, only others would rush to curry favor with him; there was no situation where he would beg others.

Today was just because the Viceroy invited him, otherwise Ni Yongyao wouldn't have stepped onto the golf course.

"Good shot!"

At this moment, Norton swung a club, looked at the landing point of the ball, and said with satisfaction.

"Ah Yao, don't look at me as being old; I've been playing golf for decades, and my skills are no worse than professional players. You must go all out, otherwise, if you fall too far behind me, it won't be interesting to play."

Norton patted Ni Yongyao's shoulder and laughed.

"Come, hit a shot and try; I want to see your power output."

Norton said, stuffing the golf club into Ni Yongyao's hand.

"All out?"

Ni Yongyao looked at the confident Norton and asked.

"Feel free to hit."

Norton said nonchalantly.

"Okay."

Ni Yongyao didn't say anything more, gripped the club, and swung it directly without even looking.

Pop!

After a crisp sound, the golf ball was seen flying high, and finally, with a thud, it accurately landed in the distant hole.

A hole-in-one.

And this was still with Ni Yongyao holding back his strength; otherwise, with his reinforced power, the golf ball would have been shattered with one swing.

"¨｀ It went in?"

Norton saw this scene, his eyes widened, somewhat incredulous.

Norton examined Ni Yongyao, suspecting whether this kid was playing the pig to eat the tiger, but seeing Ni Yongyao's swinging action and grip posture, he was indeed a layman.

"Ah Yao, your luck is really good; to get a hole-in-one the first time you play, it seems you have great potential."

Norton could only attribute this shot to luck.

"Mr. Ni, you are so amazing!"

Miss Xierlin said excitedly on the side, her eyes full of little stars.

Linna's eyes also lit up.

"Ah Yao, your strength is good; let Miss Xierlin demonstrate the correct posture for you again, and you should be able to play even better."

Norton coughed and said.

Miss Xierlin heard this, immediately picked up a club, and stood in front of Ni Yongyao.

"Mr. Ni, let me demonstrate for you first."

After Miss Xierlin finished speaking, she performed a beautiful swing; although she lacked a lot in strength, just from the action alone, it was already impeccable, whether it was her posture or the mobilization of core strength, it was very coordinated.

After finishing the action, Miss Xierlin said to Ni Yongyao: "Mr. Ni, now you try swinging a shot; I will correct you if I see anything wrong."

Ni Yongyao nodded and swung a shot.

This swing was extremely professional, perfectly replicating Miss Xierlin's posture just now.

Norton and the three others saw this scene and all revealed expressions of astonishment, somewhat unbelievable.

The golf swing action looks simple, but in reality, it requires mobilizing core strength to complete; otherwise, it is just superficial.

But the three of them could see that Ni Yongyao not only had the posture, but his power mobilization was also impeccable.

"Ah Yao, have you really never played golf before?"

Norton couldn't help but ask.

"First time playing today."

Ni Yongyao said.

"It seems your talent is really good."

Norton sighed with emotion.

Ni Yongyao smiled and didn't say anything. Learning the swing action might require multiple practices for ordinary people, but Ni Yongyao's ability to control his body and the various skills he possessed were enough for him to master the swing action instantly.

Just when Miss Xierlin was demonstrating, Ni Yongyao had activated Bullet Time, remembering all her subtle movements and muscle changes, and then replicated them on himself.

"Ah Yao, hit another ball and let me see."

Norton proposed; he wanted to see if Ni Yongyao could still maintain the luck of a hole-in-one.

Ni Yongyao nodded, gripped the club with both hands, twisted his body, and swung the club. With a pop, the golf ball was hit and flew far away.

Norton watched the landing point of the golf ball nervously, both wanting to see another hole-in-one and not wanting such a thing to happen; his mood could be said to be very complicated.

Thud!

Without any surprises, this shot once again accurately entered the hole.

"I knew Mr. Ni was the most amazing!"

Miss Xierlin saw this scene and immediately jumped up excitedly; it looked like she was even more excited than if she had gotten a hole-in-one herself. At this moment, Miss Xierlin felt that Ni Yongyao was the Prince Charming she had dreamed of since she was a child; no matter what happened, nothing could stump Ni Yongyao.

Linna also watched Ni Yongyao, her eyes rippling like water. In the whole field, only Norton watched all this with a complicated mood; two consecutive holes-in-one could no longer be explained by luck. Or rather, even if it really was luck, it was no different from strength.

Norton felt some regret; why did he have to invite Ni Yongyao to play golf? Wouldn't it be better to play chess or go fishing? It made him doubt his life a little now, doubting whether the golf he had played for decades had all been played to the dogs.

"Ah Yao, well played."

Norton pulled a forced smile on his face and said.

At the same time, Norton remembered that just a moment ago, he had confidently asked Ni Yongyao to go all out; now it seemed really a bit awkward.

"Mr. Norton, it's your turn."

Ni Yongyao said.

"I'll pass; I caught a cold yesterday, and my arm is not very comfortable. You guys play, you guys play..."

Norton laughed it off.

Immediately, he stood on the side, watching Miss Xierlin and Ni Yongyao hitting one shot after another, playing very enthusiastically, and occasionally Linna would also join in to hit a few.

Norton sighed in his heart, asking himself if he was old?

That night.

Viceroy's mansion, dining room, a sumptuous dinner was laid out on the dining table, Ni Yongyao and Norton sat at both ends, while Miss Xierlin sat right next to Ni Yongyao. ===== CHAPTER 406 =====
