Fang Lin couldn't say much, only offering a slight smile.
As one of the involved parties, An Yuying said bashfully, "Niu Zai, practicing the Horse Stance is so tiring. Let's rest a bit more."
Luo Yang flashed a grin, changing the subject, "Let's keep practicing. Sister An, come on, I'll help you get into the right position. You need to spread your feet a bit more."
Everyone wanted to rest a bit longer.
They weren't used to practicing the Horse Stance, and to stand for so long at this time was too much for them.
Practicing martial arts was never an easy task.
The beauties were only curious, driven by a momentary interest to have some fun – they didn't intend to become martial arts masters.
Of course, there was an exception – Hong Jiaxin.
"Let's make the most of our time and practice a little more," Luo Yang urged.
So the four beauties continued with the Horse Stance.
Besides Hong Jiaxin, the other three beauties could only endure for a few minutes before they complained of tiredness.
Hong Jiaxin wanted to learn Luo Yang's real skills as soon as possible so she could settle the score with that Japanese collector.
Right now, her abilities were limited and she didn't have the capacity to do it.
After lingering on the grass at the village's edge for over twenty minutes, Luo Yang led the beauties back to Qin Piao's home.
Checking his phone, he realized Tang Guihua had called.
Calling back and getting connected, Luo Yang asked, "Sister Guihua, what's up?"
Early in the morning, he couldn't think of why Tang Guihua would call.
He just heard Tang Guihua say, "Niu Zai, I want to go register the clinic today, but I'm worried about the Lin Family people."
She planned to open a clinic in partnership with Luo Yang, and the rental space had already been secured.
Leaving the village, Tang Guihua indeed feared revenge from the Lin Family.
"Sister Guihua, does it have to be today?" Luo Yang asked.
"Well, it's either today or tomorrow," Tang Guihua replied.
The Lin Family only knew Tang Guihua drove a Peugeot 308, not that she presently used the Volkswagen Lavida borrowed from Luo Yang for her commutes.
"Sister Guihua, whenever you decide to go, I'll come with you," Luo Yang offered.
"Then come over now," Tang Guihua said.
Right after hanging up, Hong Jiaxin's phone rang.
It was a call from Zeng Xiaomei.
A few days ago, Luo Yang and Hong Jiaxin had signed up for the school table tennis competition, and today was the preliminary round.
Hong Jiaxin told Zeng Xiaomei that she would participate in the competition.
After Hong Jiaxin finished the call, Luo Yang was caught in a dilemma, having to choose between accompanying Tang Guihua to the county or going to school with Hong Jiaxin.
Hong Jiaxin was determined to attend the table tennis match, and Luo Yang couldn't convince her otherwise.
He was still contemplating what to do when he received a call from Dai Bao Jian.
Over the phone, he heard Dai Bao Jian crying.
Having known Dai Bao Jian for so long, it was the first time Luo Yang heard him cry.
"Da Baojian, what's wrong?" Luo Yang asked curiously.
He even thought Dai Bao Jian was joking.
All he heard was Dai Bao Jian sobbing, "Niu Zai, can you help me beat someone up?"
Luo Yang asked, "Who?"
At Dongfeng Middle School, few dared to mess with Dai Bao Jian.
After inquiring, Luo Yang learned it was Zhang Xinglong who had hit Dai Bao Jian.
Not long ago, Luo Yang and Zhang Xinglong had had a fight.
Back then, Dai Bao Jian had been on Luo Yang's side, and at that time, Zhang Xinglong didn't dare to hit Dai Bao Jian, mainly because Luo Yang was there.
Zhang Xinglong didn't dare to seek revenge on Luo Yang, but he didn't take Dai Bao Jian seriously.
In the days that followed, as Luo Yang hadn't attended school to take classes, many people thought he was off doing business and had dropped out.
That morning, in the school lavatory, Zhang Xinglong ran into Dai Bao Jian and demanded a cigarette.
When Dai Bao Jian refused, Zhang Xinglong beat him.
Luo Yang had a good relationship with Dai Bao Jian.
Hearing that his brother had been hit, Luo Yang felt obliged to help him reclaim his honor.
If he was going to school, then he couldn't accompany Tang Guihua to the county, and he would have to explain it to her clearly.
They could go together in the afternoon or the following day.
