Lian Yihan's body stiffened as he heard a familiar voice. He quickly covered Gu Xiaofang's mouth, preventing her from crying out.
The sound that had just erupted nearby had nearly sent Lian Yihan scurrying back. Fortunately, they had run in the direction of the restroom, so no one had discovered them there.
Immediately after, Lian Yihan stepped hard on the accelerator, and the engine sputtered a few times before dying.
Lian Yihan hurriedly opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "Xiaofang, I'm going to the competition first."
Seeing Lian Yihan get out of her car, Gu Xiaofang, who had already had her fill of speeding, efficiently tidied herself up and ran after Lian Yihan.
Lian Yihan did not return to Gu Zhe's side. Instead, he went directly onto the stage, and Gu Xiaofang quietly returned to her seat.
Gu Zhe: (⊙o⊙)…
At this moment, Gu Zhe's eyes widened like a bull's. The moment Xia Lin stepped onto the stage, he finally remembered.
This was Xia Feng's sister. He clearly remembered that it was this girl named Xia Lin who had called out "Brother Xia Feng" that day.
Xia Feng - Xia Lin, wasn't the name obvious?
Gu Zhe's whole body began to tremble, and he shivered uncontrollably.
He was finished, completely finished. His entire family would be finished.
Gu Zhe suddenly stood up, leaping high, and prepared to dash onto the stage to stop Lian Yihan from competing with Xia Lin.
"Sit down."
A voice echoed in Gu Zhe's mind, and a force pulled him back into his seat.
Gulp…
Gu Zhe swallowed hard, and cold sweat broke out all over his forehead. In the middle of winter, Gu Zhe felt exceptionally hot.
"Watch the match peacefully. Don't meddle," Xia Feng's voice continued to resound in Gu Zhe's mind.
Gu Zhe looked around, trying to find Xia Feng's figure, but there were too many people, and he couldn't find any trace of Xia Feng.
He knew Xia Feng was a god-like man, but this was the first time he had experienced such telepathic communication.
After Xia Feng's two reminders, Gu Zhe dared not act on his own accord. He desperately wished for Lian Yihan to be beaten to a pulp.
Amitabha, Buddha bless, Lian Yihan, go die.
"Sect Master Gu, the match is about to begin. Is there any problem with my Han fighting this beautiful young lady?" Lian Bin said, looking at the two preparing to start on stage.
"No problem, he'll definitely be beaten to a pulp, absolutely." Gu Zhe said incoherently.
Lian Bin didn't realize that Gu Zhe was talking about Lian Yihan being beaten to a pulp. He thought Gu Zhe was saying his son was very powerful, and a smile spread across his face.
Xia Lin was surrounded by a shield, a shield that only Xia Feng could see.
With this shield in place, although others appeared to be fighting, Lian Yihan couldn't touch Xia Lin at all.
Lian Yihan's eyes widened as he saw the super beauty he was facing, and he swallowed.
Compared to Gu Xiaofang, she was a celestial maiden from the nine heavens, while Gu Xiaofang was just a village girl.
The difference was truly immense.
However, Lian Yihan was self-aware and didn't have any ulterior thoughts. What kind of engine matches what kind of car.
"Beautiful lady, pardon me." Lian Yihan made a gesture of apology to Xia Lin and prepared to attack.
This was Xia Lin's first time fighting someone, but she wasn't panicked at all.
This was because Xia Feng had told her that even if she stood there and let others hit her, no one would be able to harm her in the slightest, and her own strength was already very formidable.
Xia Lin slightly parted her feet, assuming a fighting stance.
The two were about to engage. Lian Yihan launched the first attack. Xia Lin, being petite, combined with the footwork Xia Feng had taught her, left a blur of afterimages on the stage.
Lian Yihan's expression suddenly changed drastically. He had never expected that the seemingly frail woman would be so fast.
In an instant, Xia Lin appeared behind Lian Yihan and placed her palm heavily on his back.
This was Xia Lin's first actual combat, and she had no idea how to control her strength. Lian Yihan, unable to withstand such a blow, was sent forward, stumbling a few steps, and spitting out a trace of blood.
This was also because Lian Yihan was fighting Xia Lin. If it were someone else, they wouldn't have been able to take Xia Lin's palm strike and would have fainted.
"Hahaha… Good."
"Well fought, haha…"
Seeing this, Gu Zhe danced with joy, almost choking from laughter.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Gu Zhe, especially Lian Bin, whose expression turned unpleasant.
Has this person gone mad?
"Sect Master Gu, you must not have seen clearly, or perhaps something else? It was Han who was hit by that woman." Lian Bin took the initiative to remind him.
Looking at the smiling Gu Zhe, Lian Bin earnestly explained to him.
"I know, it was well fought, haha…" Gu Zhe continued to laugh heartily, ignoring Lian Bin's expression.
Lian Bin's face turned ashen. If not for his inferior strength, he would have wanted to beat this madman Gu Zhe.
On the stage, Lian Yihan felt the pain and began to regard Xia Lin with seriousness.
He could tell that Xia Lin had no combat experience, but her strength far surpassed his.
"You are very strong." Lian Yihan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and began to get serious.
The two continued to fight. No matter how Lian Yihan attacked, Xia Lin always dodged skillfully and occasionally struck Lian Yihan.
Xia Lin was not in a hurry. As they sparred longer, Xia Lin became more familiar with the process.
Later, Xia Lin simply stopped dodging and met attacks head-on, countering move for move.
Xia Lin's sudden change caught Lian Yihan completely off guard. For several rounds, he was suppressed by Xia Lin.
He felt like a monkey, everything was within Xia Lin's control.
"Hahaha… Well fought, keep it up." Gu Zhe would occasionally burst into laughter, cheering vigorously whenever Lian Yihan was hit by Xia Lin.
He had also figured it out. Xia Lin had the strength to beat Lian Yihan soundly but was just slowly adapting to the battle.
No wonder Xia Feng had told him not to meddle.
Gu Zhe finally understood now. Xia Feng was letting Lian Yihan be a test subject for Xia Lin to practice on.
"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you taking their side?" Gu Xiaofang couldn't stand it anymore and tugged at Gu Zhe's clothes, asking unhappily.
Her own man was being beaten badly by a woman, and her father was acting like he wanted him dead. Gu Xiaofang felt more disgusted than if she had eaten raw ham.
"Look at the woman on stage yourself. Do you remember her?" Gu Zhe said and then ignored his daughter, continuing to watch the match intently.
He didn't want to miss even a single moment. As long as Lian Yihan was beaten, he would cheer loudly.
Through this match, Xia Lin learned a lot.
This kind of competition, where opponents didn't hold back, was truly how one could improve.
Clearly, Xia Lin was having a blast fighting.
As Lian Yihan was beaten to the point where he could no longer fight back and was in a defensive state, Xia Lin felt it was meaningless. She elegantly kicked him from behind. Lian Yihan rolled twice on the stage and fell off.
Seeing this, Gu Zhe jumped up and shouted:
"Well fought, truly amazing, just like beating a dog, haha…"
