The two women inside watched, occasionally letting out gasps of surprise:
"Oh dear, the TV!"
"The air conditioner! The air conditioner! It was just replaced recently."
"Oh dear, Ah Feng, my newly finished cross-stitch!"
...
While exclaiming, they couldn't help but raise a hand to cover their eyes, unable to bear watching, but still wanting to look.
Suddenly, Sister Hua cried out and tried to rush out.
Guo Xifeng was startled and quickly grabbed her: "Sister Hua, what are you doing? Be careful Yunyun doesn't smash it!"
Sister Hua cried out, "No, Sister Feng, look, Yunyun...she's not even wearing anything, and Chen saw it all! Can't we make her put on some clothes before we hit her?"
"Look, is that even possible? Yunyun is in a frenzy; she won't listen to anyone!" Guo Xifeng smiled wryly, "Sigh, it's alright. Chen...he should know not to look at what's indecent!"
"Oh dear!" Sister Hua stamped her foot, "Look, Chen's eyes are practically glued to the screen."
...
The crazed beauty hacked for a good ten minutes, practically turning the entire living room into ruins, before slowly stopping. She planted the stick on the ground, panting heavily, her chest heaving, staring intently at Lu Chen.
Her eyes were filled with complexity.
She suddenly spoke: "You...who exactly are you?"
Her voice was dry, as if she rarely spoke.
Hua Jie, still hiding to the side, was stunned, both surprised and delighted: "Ah Feng, look! Yunyun is actually talking to a man! I've never seen her talk to a man before!"
Guo Xifeng was also overjoyed, murmuring, "Could it be... there really is a turning point? What... what's going on? I'm completely confused!"
Outside, Lu Chen calmly said, "Me? I'm your master! My disciple, I've been searching for you for a long time, and I've finally found you. From now on, you'll follow me and practice martial arts diligently! Master the earth-shattering staff technique, and slaughter all the pigs and dogs in the world! How about it?"
As he spoke, he stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an air of dashing elegance, quite like the legendary Wong Fei-hung of Foshan.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sister Hua exclaimed, "Ah Feng, this Ah Chen you found, could he... be mentally unstable?"
Guo Xifeng shook her head and said in a deep voice, "Impossible, look closely!"
Then, the two women saw Yunyun kneel down before Lu Chen: "Master, please accept my bow!"
It was exactly like what they saw on TV, making Guo Xifeng and Sister Hua even more puzzled.
Guo Xifeng murmured, "Could it be... could it really be like this?"
"What is it?" Sister Hua asked curiously.
Guo Xifeng frowned and said, "When Yunyun was twelve or thirteen, when she first fell ill, she kept saying that one day her master would come to find her, teach her very powerful kung fu, and then she could protect me and kill many bad guys in the world! At the time, I didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a child's silliness, and she hasn't said it in years. But now?"
...
"Sister Feng, you actually believe what I say? There's no master. I was just doing it out of necessity!"
About twenty minutes later, Lu Chen, having learned of Guo Xifeng's thoughts, said with a wry smile.
By this time, Yunyun had already fallen asleep. When she knelt down to beg for her master's hand, she was already too exhausted to get up. When Lu Chen helped her, she collapsed into his arms and fainted.
Exhausted, she had no energy left; it would be strange if she didn't faint.
It's nothing serious; it's good that she's asleep.
"Why did you have to do this, Ah Chen?" Sister Hua leaned closer and asked, sensing a mysterious aura surrounding Lu Chen, which piqued her curiosity.
Lu Chen scratched his head, shrugged, and said, "People with autism all have inner demons. The best way to deal with them is to let them out. I heard from Sister Feng that Yunyun wanted to learn kung fu to protect her mother, and seeing how much she loved practicing with a staff, I knew that was also an inner demon. So, I pretended to be her master, giving her a sense of fulfillment, which made things smoother!"
He glanced at the two women, who were listening intently.
Lu Chen smiled mysteriously and continued, "There's another advantage. Since I'm her master, she'll be more willing to be close to me, making it easier to deal with her! Sister Feng, it's like what I told you about Lingling. Having a breakthrough point, gaining her trust, makes things much easier! This also shows that Yunyun and I are destined to be together!"
Indeed, they were destined to be together, very destined, far more complex than Lu Chen made it out to be. Of course, some things are better left unsaid; they're too mysterious.
At this moment, Guo Xifeng and Sister Hua were more than just impressed by Lu Chen!
Guo Xifeng was so excited she was almost crying: "I knew it! My intuition told me, Ah Chen, calling you here would definitely benefit my daughter! Now, I feel you're fully capable of curing her!"
Lu Chen smiled, a rather wicked smile. He said, "There shouldn't be much of a problem. Now, first, I need to train her properly. Sister Feng, you don't mind if she actually practices kung fu, do you?"
Guo Xifeng nodded vigorously: "Not at all, not at all, as long as she gets better. I've noticed she loves practicing with a stick, and I was actually planning to find her a teacher, but she's very averse to strangers. Now that she doesn't reject you, that's great! Practicing kung fu can strengthen the body and make one more energetic, of course it's good!"
Hua Jie, however, still had one question: "But, Ah Chen, there's something I find quite strange. Why is it that Yunyun hasn't even met you yet, but suddenly she can wield a stick so well? She even broke through such a thick door panel? It's like she knew you'd come even before she saw you!"
Lu Chen smiled meaningfully: "That's fate!"
"By the way!" Guo Xifeng asked, "What's the second one?"
"The second one!" Lu Chen chuckled, "It's to resolve her other inner demon, take her to Liu Jiangbo, and give him a good beating! He's Yunyun's biggest shadow and nightmare. Beating him up will put an end to this inner demon!"
For the next three days, Lu Chen hardly went anywhere, staying at Guo Xifeng's house to teach Guo Fuyun. Of course, he also had some things to learn about regarding the sixth supernatural ability.
It didn't matter if he was away for a few days; if Shangguan Bei needed anything, they could basically communicate by phone. And at the pastry shop, the pastry chefs they had hired and the apprentices who had grown up were able to handle many problems.
Just like Du Haoling before her, after becoming Lu Chen's apprentice, Guo Fuyun felt no sense of unfamiliarity with him at all; she was very friendly, even more so than with Hua Jie and Guo Xifeng.
This amazed the two women, and they even felt a pang of jealousy.
Only Lu Chen knew that it was the Martial God's power within him that firmly linked him and Guo Fuyun together, producing some kind of magical effect. And his connection with Lingling was through the Healing God's power.
Lu Chen felt there was some hidden mystery here, but he hadn't figured it out yet.
In short, this Seven-Life Flower power was definitely not as simple as he currently understood. Perhaps its most profound aspects hadn't even been revealed yet.
What frustrated Lu Chen was that this Martial God's power didn't seem to help him personally. He remained at level two or three; the Martial God's power hadn't made him a master!
However, under the influence of the Martial God's power, Guo Fuyun had mastered an incredibly refined staff technique, achieving at least level four martial arts ability, making her a worthy opponent for Bald Qiang.
Of course, besides the Martial God's power, she also relied on the internal energy provided by Lu Chen.
This gave Lu Chen the feeling that he had become Guo Fuyun's external dantian.
He had a sudden inspiration and made an experiment to see if distance would affect their connection.
He discovered that when the distance between them exceeded about 300 meters, Guo Fuyun could still use her staff technique, but she couldn't establish an effective connection with him. In other words, she couldn't absorb the energy converted from his internal energy through some mysterious connection.
Moreover, Guo Fuyun's spirit was greatly weakened, her condition was poor, and she was almost returning to her closed-off state.
This was too ridiculous! It really was like Du Haoling. When Haoling was separated from his embrace and unable to access the medical god's abilities, she suddenly became gloomy. These past few days, she had even called, asking him in a low voice when he would come to visit her.
During these few days, Lu Chen simply passed on the internal energy guiding method passed down in his family to Guo Fuyun, and through his medical god abilities, transferred a portion of his own internal energy to her.
Fortunately, the transmitted internal energy was stored in Guo Fuyun's dantian.
With this internal energy, even when Lu Chen was far away, she felt more energetic and less listless than before.
After three or four days, Lu Chen and Guo Fuyun had indeed developed a deep master-disciple relationship. Guo Fuyun, who had always disliked going out, even agreed to go out with Lu Chen, who was testing her.
Guo Xifeng was very happy; her daughter was willing to go out to play—this was a great thing!
That afternoon, Lu Chen took Guo Fuyun to the park to play and get some fresh air, which would help broaden her horizons! However, what annoyed Lu Chen was that this Yunyun always liked to bring her rattan cane with her when she went out to play!
"Why are you bringing a cane? You're not a child anymore. Are you going to bring a cane to ride a bamboo horse? Put it back, put it back!" Lu Chen scolded her sternly.
Guo Fuyun pouted, hiding the stick behind her back as if that would conceal it. She said, "Master, I want to bring it! What if I encounter bad guys without it? With the stick, I can teach them a lesson!"
Lu Chen scratched his head in annoyance, thinking that this was actually quite normal.
After all, Guo Fuyun had been a particularly insecure child since her early teens. Her withdrawn nature stemmed mainly from this insecurity. And the stick could provide her with a sense of security.
He had no choice but to agree.
Not long after they left the store, Lu Chen thought of something fun. He took Guo Fuyun to a digital camera store and bought her a newly released Canon EOS 1200D digital camera, then took her to the park to take pictures.
In the lush green park, Lu Chen had Guo Fuyun pose in various kung fu styles, taking pictures with great enthusiasm. Yunyun was very cooperative. Every now and then, she would come over to watch. She was getting close enough to look, but she didn't seem to care much, her ample bosom rubbing against Lu Chen's shoulder.
Lu Chen couldn't stand the rubbing anymore, and a wicked thought suddenly popped into his head.
Mother and daughter together?
Instantly, the wicked thought turned into guilt, and he quickly tried to stop thinking about it.
Just as Guo Fuyun was posing for another photo of Lu Chen, a rather wicked voice came from nearby: "Wow, such a beautiful and elegant girl! Beautiful lady, shall we get to know each other?"
