Chapter 929: Retreat!

After Elder Su finished speaking, he began to demonstrate for Xu Tian.

Xu Tian stared at Elder Su's movements, feeling that these techniques were very familiar; he basically memorized them after watching them once.

"Since you have entered my tutelage, you must be diligent and down-to-earth. With your ability, I believe you will be able to skillfully use this set of techniques within two years."

As he spoke, he walked over to the grand armchair nearby and sat down.

"You practice on your own first."

"But..." Xu Tian was a bit conflicted, "Master, I have already memorized them."

"Don't be ridiculous!" Elder Su pulled a long face and reprimanded him, "These techniques are my life's work, which I spent ten years researching before optimizing and summarizing them into a complete set of techniques. How could you memorize them just by watching once? Even if you have memorized them, you have only grasped the surface and have not truly understood the profound meaning of the techniques. You must practice every day to truly comprehend them!"

After saying this, he added another sentence.

"Don't be lazy, practice for me!"

Xu Tian:...

Is it a crime to learn quickly?

Elder Su seemed to see his reluctance, and his tone became a bit more serious.

"How about this: you go back and practice first. Within two months, you must memorize all the moves thoroughly and be able to adapt randomly even if the order is disrupted. After two months, I will have you come over for an assessment."

"Yes..." Xu Tian had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After coming out of Elder Su's private courtyard, the sky had already turned completely dark.

Xu Tian had nothing to do, so he went to the teahouse opened by Lu Qianqian to have some snacks.

In fact, this teahouse was not a teahouse in the standard sense; besides tea and snacks, it also sold exquisite private dishes.

At first, the second young lady of the Lu family hired a chef for the teahouse to satisfy her own appetite, after all, the canteen in the mountain villa was just like most canteens in the world—terrible.

Later, customers who patronized the place learned that there was a famous chef from Kun Cheng in the teahouse, so they also ordered dishes one after another, and the reviews were overwhelming. Thus, Lu Qianqian simply upgraded the teahouse to also handle the catering business.

However, in order to maintain the elegance of the teahouse, the interior decoration and the plaque were not changed.

Xu Tian walked into the teahouse and saw a familiar figure in the lobby on the first floor.

It was Elder Su's disciple, Qiao Yuqing.

There were not many customers in the lobby, so Qiao Yuqing, who was dressed in green, looked particularly conspicuous sitting there.

Since they were fellow disciples, meeting here meant they should at least say hello.

So, Xu Tian walked toward Qiao Yuqing.

However, he didn't know what Qiao Yuqing was looking at with her head down; she was so focused that she didn't even hear Xu Tian's footsteps.

Xu Tian walked up close and took a look; it turned out that Qiao Yuqing was staring blankly at a pendant. The pendant was a small photo frame in the Western Alliance style, and there was a photo inside the frame.

In the photo was a high-spirited young man. Xu Tian felt he looked a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

"It's you?" Qiao Yuqing came back to her senses, discovered Xu Tian standing behind her, and spoke indifferently.

"Is this your boyfriend?" Xu Tian simply walked to the opposite side of Qiao Yuqing, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

"Don't talk nonsense, he is Senior Brother Mufeng..." Qiao Yuqing turned her head away unnaturally.

"Wait." Xu Tian paused and asked in surprise, "Is the photo on your pendant Yun Mufeng?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Qiao Yuqing was a bit surprised to see Xu Tian's reaction.

Xu Tian finally understood why those impostors could succeed, while when he stood in front of his biological parents, they couldn't recognize him.

Let alone his parents and Yun Shuying, even he himself didn't recognize that it was him when he looked at the photo just now!

So he was like this when he was young; he did look a bit more arrogant than he does now.

However, the former version of himself was a genius of the Profound Turtle Tang family's mountain villa; he certainly had the capital to be arrogant.

"Since you're here, keep me company for a drink." Qiao Yuqing picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea that was still steaming, and placed it in front of Xu Tian.

Xu Tian didn't think much of it and picked up the cup, drinking it in one gulp.

Only after the liquid went down his throat did he feel something was wrong; this bitter and spicy stuff didn't taste like tea at all, but rather like...

"What is this?" An ominous premonition arose in Xu Tian's heart.

"This?" Qiao Yuqing pushed the teapot in front of her toward Xu Tian again. "It's the bamboo leaf green wine newly brewed by this teahouse. The taste isn't bad, right?"

Xu Tian:...

A girl actually drinking alcohol in a teahouse?

And why is this wine served in a teapot?

Xu Tian soon realized that it wasn't a teapot at all, but a container for hot yellow wine, which is very common in Huaxia.

The moment his consciousness faded, he realized that this time he had truly been harmed by Qiao Yuqing.

Miserably.

"Hey? What's wrong with you?" Qiao Yuqing was startled as she watched Xu Tian suddenly slump onto the table, motionless. "Are you okay?"

"This wine isn't high in alcohol content; it shouldn't knock someone out in one cup..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Xu Tian, who had been slumped on the table with his eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them again.

After Xu Tian regained consciousness, he found himself standing on the table.

He looked down blankly and saw that the teahouse lobby was in a mess, while Qiao Yuqing and several waiters were hiding behind the counter, looking at him with resentment.

"What happened?"

Xu Tian jumped down from the table, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw three young men in martial arts uniforms lying on the ground, bruised and swollen. Seeing Xu Tian approach, they scrambled out of the teahouse.

Xu Tian:...

He always has memory blackouts soon after drinking.

These three people couldn't have been beaten like this by him, could they?

"Xu Tian, are you sick in the head?" Qiao Yuqing's willow-leaf eyebrows arched in anger. "Why do you start fighting without a word?"

Just now, she saw Xu Tian slumped on the table and wanted to call him, but he suddenly started throwing punches at her without saying anything.

In her desperation, Qiao Yuqing exchanged a few moves with Xu Tian and discovered that she was no match for him at all.

Moreover, this stinky man didn't know how to cherish the fairer sex at all; his moves were fast and ruthless. Just as she was about to be unable to fend him off, three bounty hunters who were eating in the teahouse arrived, immediately attracting his firepower.

The result was that those three first-tier hunters were beaten until they were bruised and swollen, completely crushed without any power to fight back, and the teahouse became a mess because of Xu Tian, as if it had just experienced a catastrophe.

Xu Tian asked in disbelief: "Did I do all this?"

"Don't even think about denying it!" A waitress held up her phone and shook it, looking a bit timid. "I recorded everything you did just now! You have to pay for the broken things at their original price!"

"Let me see." Xu Tian took two steps toward the counter, wanting to take the phone.

"Don't move!" The waitress screamed, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy. "Back off!"

Xu Tian stood where he was and helplessly raised his hands.

"I won't move, just throw the phone over."

The waitress stared at Xu Tian vigilantly, then cautiously threw the phone over.

After Xu Tian got the phone, he tapped on the video.
