Reborn with My Wife

say, ‘What’s wrong with me being thin? You’re not so different yourself!’

But after thinking that there was a possibility of being beaten to death, he decided against it.

“Grandpa, let him try! You see as well that there is no one in this martial arts club.
It’s desolate and empty.
You are here alone all day, and don’t forget the competition at the end of the year.
Are you sure you still won’t participate and bring shame to the club?” Xu Mengying whispered in her grandfather’s ear.

Xu Fan’s expression changed, he pondered for a while, and said to Gu Xia, “Boy, come with me!”

Gu Xia looked at Xu Mengying and saw Xu Mengying nodding at him and motioning him to follow.
So, Gu Xia followed behind the old man.

After entering the building, he noticed that it had a very large interior, and there was no partition.
It was just a big room with some wooden poles and equipment, but it was much newer.

“Come here, I’ll check your bones to see if you’re suitable for martial arts.” Elder Xu Fan said.

Gu Xia was stunned when he heard the words, it really was the same as on TV! 

‘Did he really say he wanted to check my bone?’

Gu Xia walked up to the old man, and the old man Xu Fan slapped his joints with his hands constantly, and his speed was so fast that Gu Xia couldn’t see his hands clearly.

“Okay…” Xu Fan seemed to be very tired, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

“Quality is okay, but martial arts requires a lot of money, boy, do you have money?” Xu Fan gave him a sideways look.

In fact, he didn’t want to accept Gu Xia either.
But, he really had no choice.
His line was passed on to him, and he was very powerful.
His son and grandson could not live up to his expectations, and their martial arts were sparse and mediocre.
There was an exchange meeting every year, where each lineage would send their younger generation to compete. 

The younger generation here referred to those under the age of 30, because those who practiced martial arts were not regarded as the younger generation when they were over 30 years old.
This competition was related to the reputation of each line, and the line of the Xu family had lost for four years since Xu Fan was 30 years old.
And now, even if he was 70 years old, his son and grandson would be beaten up by him a lot.

Moreover, it was not easy to find a person with good qualifications.
Nowadays, people may eat and drink well, but their physique is not that good.
This was why everyone was in a state of only pseudo-fitness.

“Money? I don’t have much money.
Does it cost a lot of money to practice martial arts?” Gu Xia shook his head and said.

“In ancient times, there was a saying that the poor study and the rich practice martial arts.
Because martial arts require money.
Practicing martial arts will damage the body, so it needs the assistance of medicinal materials to recover.
If there is no medicinal material to help, it will ruin one’s own training.
You may have seen people on the Internet who practice Iron Sand Palm.
These have trained for so long that their hands became like the hands of a dead person due to the accumulated injury.
But, people who have really practiced the authentic Iron Sand Palms have hands like ordinary people.
It’s because they have healed their injury.” Xu Fan explained.

Gu Xia’s heart was itching to learn it, but when he thought of having no money, he couldn’t help but feel sad.
He had no money in his past life and it was the same in his present life! 

Currently herbal medicine was very expensive, so he didn’t even need to think about it to know why practicing martial arts was so expensive.

“I can tell at a glance that you have no money, but that doesn’t matter! You have to come here at 4 o’clock every morning from tomorrow, and I will teach you for two days to see how your ability to comprehend.
If it is good, this old man will bear the expenses for the herbal medicine.” Xu Fan said.

“Thank you old man!” Gu Xia hurriedly thanked him.

“Why are you not calling him master, why do you still keep calling him old man?” Xu Mengying reminded him.

“Master!”

“Good.
You can leave for now!” Xu Fan waved his hand.

“Then I’ll be leaving first, Master.” Gu Xia nodded.

“Grandpa, I’m leaving too, bye!”

*****

“Is he your grandfather? Then you also know martial arts?” Gu Xia looked at Xu Mengying and asked.

“Of course, just like him, I can easily beat up three or five people casually.” Xu Mengying said proudly.

“Then, your grandfather should have a high position in this university? Or else the university wouldn’t have given him such a big place.” Gu Xia asked with a smile.

“It’s okay! He is the honorary vice-principal of this school.” Xu Mengying said.

“Fu*k! Is being the vice-principal something normal? Your family is really influential.” Gu Xia complained.

When he returned to the dormitory, it was already 3 pm.
Gu Xia missed his lunch because he slept, but he was not very hungry, so he simply skipped lunch and waited for dinner.

There were two reasons behind Gu Xia’s decision to practice martial arts with Xu Fan.
The first was for his own self-defense.
As for the second reason, is there a man who has no dreams of being a martial artist? Why did Bruce Lee become the spiritual leader of the whole country? It was not only because of his influence, but also because of his martial arts.
When Gu Xia was young, like many kids, he watched many martial arts movies on TV.
So why wouldn’t he yearn for it?

He didn’t have the chance to do it before, but now he had the opportunity to learn it.
So, if he didn’t learn it, he would be a fool.
Obviously, Gu Xia was not a fool.

If he learned martial arts well, he could protect his family.
Although people say that the current public order was quite good.
But was that really the case? Who knows what he would encounter in his daily life? Just like it says in the newspapers, he could be just walking on the road, and be stabbed to death by a lunatic with a knife, or encounter some hooligans.
So he had to make sure that he could protect himself.

Today’s events had opened a new door for Gu Xia, a door that had never been touched before.
Gu Xia believed that behind this door was something very exciting.

‘Sisi, just wait, next time we meet, I will definitely surprise you.’
