Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

When he returned to Longxing City again, it was almost the end of the year. Qiao Rui did not go to Yunlai Inn, but went directly back to his house in Banyue Lane. After being away for nearly half a year, his founding disciple Huang Jingxuan must be eagerly waiting for him.

"I don't know if this brat has been lazy or if his martial arts skills have improved."

Thinking of this, Qiao Rui's eyes rolled and he suddenly felt playful. He walked to the corner of the door and wall, found a black gown from his luggage, tore off a piece with a "swish" sound and covered his face with it, then quietly jumped to the top of the wall with his luggage.

Not bad, Huang Jingxuan was practicing martial arts in the yard. Qiao Rui put his luggage on the wall, then let out a light call and flew towards Huang Jingyu.

He had to give a warning without saying anything. With his lightness skills and strength, if he intended to launch a sneak attack on this kid, he would not be able to resist.

Huang Jingxuan heard the noise and saw a man in a black scarf and mask about to attack him. He was startled and shouted: "Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you attack your grandfather!"

As he spoke, his palm gesture changed from a drill to a killing move, and a gust of evil wind struck Qiao Rui's chest.

"You little bastard, you are so rude!" Qiao Rui's nose was almost crooked with anger. He cursed Huang Jingxuan in his heart for being so treacherous and quietly increased the strength in his hands.

"Snapped!"

Qiao Rui's right hand inexplicably broke through Huang Jingxuan's palm shadow and slapped him in the face.

"Your mother is eating noodles, I will fight you!" Huang Jingxuan cursed with a slang from his hometown, don't hit people in the face, this guy is really too much, he was so angry that he attacked without caring about anything.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

There was a dull clash of fists and palms, and the two men fought back and forth for several rounds.

The sound of fighting in the yard spread, and two people came out of the house. They were shocked to see the situation in the yard.

"Stop, who are you? Do you know whose house this is?"

One of the delicate women in plain clothes screamed and tremblingly moved forward to protect the other woman in white.

The two people who were fighting looked over at the same time. Huang Jingxuan's face changed and he shouted anxiously: "Why did you come out? Hurry up and leave."

He had deliberately shouted and cursed loudly to alert the people in the house that there was an intruder, so that they could hide. At worst, they should think of a way to deal with the situation. How could they come out so rashly? If any of them made a mistake, how would he face his master?

When Qiao Rui saw the plain-clothed woman in front of him, he was slightly startled, "Why is she here?"

However, seeing Huang Jingxuan's impatient look, Qiao Rui raised the corner of his mouth behind his face mask, revealing a devilish smile that no one could see.

He flipped his hands and slapped Huang Jingxuan on the chest, knocking him out lightly. Then he kicked his feet and rushed towards the woman in plain clothes.

"Ah, stop!" Huang Jingxuan's eyes were about to burst out. Before his body could stop, he violently urged his internal strength, pouring all the strength in his body into his feet, and ran towards the woman in plain clothes like a madman.

Qiao Rui shook his head secretly. He had suppressed most of his strength, but his body was still approaching the woman in plain clothes quickly. At this speed, Huang Jingxuan still could not catch up with him and could not save her.

At this moment, the plain-clothed woman in front was gently pulled from behind. A woman in white flashed out from behind her and protected her in front. The woman in white seemed to have martial arts skills. She spread her hands in a defensive posture and shouted, "We are the family of Qiao Rui, the Dragon Subduing Palm. Don't mess around!"

"Tian Jing!" Qiao Rui's body suddenly stopped and he stood there in a daze. What shocked him was not seeing Tian Jing here, but Tian Jing's outfit.

Tian Jing's plump body was wrapped in a white cloak, her belly was bulging, and it looked like she was at least seven or eight months pregnant. What was going on?

Huang Jingxuan didn't care why the masked man suddenly stopped. Without thinking, he slapped Qiao Rui on the back.

Qiao Rui was still in a daze, but when he heard the evil wind coming from behind him, his dantian instinctively turned rapidly, and the internal energy in his body surged into his back, and he took the blow head-on.

"Oh!"

Qiao Rui's body shook, but Huang Jingxuan was shocked and retreated repeatedly.

This series of actions happened in a flash. When Huang Jingxuan was knocked out, Tian Jing finally reacted.

She saw that the man stopped for no apparent reason and thought that it was because she had called out Qiao Rui's name that it worked. But when she heard the man calling her name and looked carefully at his eyes exposed outside the veil, she suddenly frowned and her face instantly turned gloomy. She snorted coldly, turned around, pulled the woman in plain clothes and went back to the house.

It was over. Qiao Rui knew that Tian Jing had recognized him. He quickly pulled off the scarf from his face, then stepped forward and held Tian Jing's hand, saying with a smile, "Tian Jing, Tian Jing, don't be angry, it was just a joke!"

"Xiao Rui!"

"Master!"

Two exclamations were heard. The plain-clothed woman was surprised with a hint of blame, while Huang Jingxuan was delighted with a hint of resentment, "Master, you can't play with me like this!"

Qiao Rui turned around and glared at Huang Jingxuan, then nodded to the plain-clothed woman and said, "Sister Juan'er!"

It turned out that the woman in plain clothes was Sister Juan'er from Qiao Rui's hometown. Her husband was the Sanshui River bandit who wanted to sell his daughter and was later killed by Qiao Rui.

I wonder why Juan'er is here? Could something have happened in my hometown? Thinking of this, Qiao Rui was shocked and didn't care about comforting Tian Jing. He asked quickly, "Sister Juan'er, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

"Well, there is something. Let's go inside and talk!" Juan'er rolled her eyes at Qiao Rui, turned around and helped Bai Jing back to the house, as if she was still blaming him for making a joke and scaring them.

Qiao Rui touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and followed him in.

After everyone took their seats, Juaner explained the whole story. It turned out that two months ago, someone abandoned a baby boy at the doorstep of Qiao Rui's grandfather's house. His grandfather saw that the baby was cute and felt that there was a connection between them. Thinking that Qiao Rui didn't have any children yet, he adopted the baby, thinking that he would be his grandson's adopted son.

But not long ago, his grandfather was careless and the child was stolen again. The old man was so worried that he fell ill. Juan'er had followed her man to the city before, so she volunteered to go to the city to find Qiao Rui.

When Qiao Rui heard that his grandfather was ill, he could no longer sit still and stood up to go back to Qiaojiazhai in Wohu Mountain.

"Wait," Juan'er called out to Qiao Rui, "Sister Tian Jing has already arranged for a doctor to see him. Third Grandpa is fine now, but his mental illness is difficult to cure. You should find a way to help find the child!"

Third Grandpa is Qiao Rui's grandfather. He is the third in their generation, so the grandchildren in the village call him Third Grandpa.

After listening to Juan'er's story, Qiao Rui's anxious heart was slightly relieved. He thanked Tian Jing again, but Tian Jing still ignored him with a cold face. He felt embarrassed and did not dare to say anything more. He turned to Juan'er and asked, "How did the child get lost? How can you be sure that it was stolen?"

"That afternoon, Third Grandpa was holding little Yunlei in the yard to bask in the sun. When he was taking a nap in the rocking chair, little Yunlei disappeared from Third Grandpa's hands." Juan'er said.

"Xiao Yunlei?" Qiao Rui was surprised. Is that the child's name?

"Yes, it's that child. When Third Grandpa picked him up, he had a jade pendant hanging around his neck with the words Yunlei engraved on it. So Third Grandpa named him Yunlei." Juan'er explained.

"Oh!" Qiao Rui didn't care about the name and continued to ask, "Grandpa, are you sure that the child was lost while he was sleeping in his arms?"

"Yeah!" Juan'er nodded. "Old people usually sleep very lightly, not to mention holding a child. I dare not sleep too deeply, so I just closed my eyes to rest. I don't know why I fell into a deep sleep that day."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rui frowned, something was not right, there was something weird about this matter.
