Chapter 1343 - 1330: Mutual Reservations (Part 3)
Chu Xianling looked at Song Xiaodong, saying, "Mr. Song, can you help me with something?"
"No problem." Song Xiaodong showed a bright smile on his face.
"Throw them into the lake." Chu Xianling coldly uttered these words.
"Alright!" Song Xiaodong's body shook, then he turned around to look at Zhang Pingjia and a few others, saying, "Speak, are you jumping in yourselves, or should I throw you in?"
Zhang Pingjia glared and said, "Damn you, who do you think you are? Get out of the way, or we'll throw you into the lake instead."
"Is that so?" Song Xiaodong's face darkened, and he suddenly reached out, grabbed Zhang Pingjia by the collar, and threw him with a flick of his hand.
Zhang Pingjia, weighing a hundred and sixty or seventy pounds, seemed weightless at this moment, flew over the railing by the lakeside, and with a splash, landed in the lake, raising a large spray of water.
Luckily, the water wasn't deep—just past the waist—and after struggling for a bit, he finally managed to stand firm in the lake.
"Damn! What are you guys eating for, throw him down too!" Zhang Pingjia shouted angrily upwards.
Those few companions finally came to their senses and rushed directly at Song Xiaodong.
But where were they a match for Song Xiaodong? With a few swift hand waves, regardless of gender, they were all thrown into the lake. Anyway, the water wasn't deep, and even if girls were thrown in, they wouldn't drown.
Moreover, these girls were just as cutting in speech as Zhang Pingjia was, so Song Xiaodong didn't need to hold back against them.
With a clap of his hands, Song Xiaodong smiled slightly at Chu Xianling, saying, "It's done."
Chu Xianling nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Song. Such esteemed presence like yours dealing with a few clueless small fries."
Song Xiaodong said, "To serve Miss Xianling is my honor, after all."
"What happened?" Yang Yushi, along with a few others, walked over at this point, glanced at the few people still shouting in the lake, and asked with confusion.
Song Xiaodong said, "Just a few clueless individuals, no need to pay them attention, let's go."
Yang Yushi looked at those people again, roughly guessing the reason, chuckling to herself, wondering whose arrogant children dared to provoke Song Xiaodong and Chu Xianling.
Chu Family!
In the study room of Old Master Chu, an elder sat gently rocking on a rocking chair, while Chu Xianling sat in a chair beside him, attentively brewing Kung Fu tea.
"How about that Song Xiaodong?" Old Master Chu accepted the tea cup handed over by Chu Xianling, sipped lightly, and continued, "Xianling's tea art has improved."
"Thank you for the praise, grandpa." Chu Xianling also poured herself a cup, but did not drink immediately, instead saying, "I still can't gauge his depth."
"Oh? That formidable?" Old Master Chu frowned slightly.
Generally, the heads of large families are rarely skilled in Kung Fu, as training consumes a lot of energy and time, while managing a large family involves complex affairs, making it difficult to balance both.
However, Old Master Chu was a Kung Fu expert, though not at the level of Great Perfection, his True Qi was quite formidable.
Chu Xianling poured another cup for the old master, and after taking a sip herself, spoke, "Indeed, I have already used my Great Perfection strength but could barely match him. I didn't dare exert my full power, as it would reveal my true strength."
"Do you estimate that he has already reached Great Perfection, with Second Stage True Qi?" The old master took a sip of tea and asked slowly.
"I think he must be at that level because I obviously sensed he still had room left. Later, I probed him a bit, and he admitted he didn't use full strength, while he also noticed I held back."
"Seems this young lad's prowess is indeed terrifying, achieving Second Stage True Qi at such a young age."
Chu Xianling said, "I feel he's certainly reached this level, which puzzles me—how could the Su Family know of Great Perfection? Even the He Family likely has no one at that level."
Old Master Chu said, "It's something worth pondering over; could it have been self-realized?"
Chu Xianling said, "If so, he truly is a prodigy from heaven, and I also sense he might possess a special ability similar to mine."
"Are you sure?" The old master sat up straight in the rocking chair.
Chu Xianling hesitated for a moment, "I can't be certain, but it's just this intuitive feeling."
The old master squinted his eyes and said, "No wonder that girl from the Yang Family is so close to him now; evidently, she has also detected this young lad's strength."
Chu Xianling said, "That's certain. Yushi's pride is so high, usually dismissive of men, but when she's with Song Xiaodong, she noticeably lowers her posture, even teasing him mildly."
"This makes things even more interesting. Keep a close watch on this lad, and make friends with him."
"Alright, Xianling understands." Chu Xianling nodded.
The old master chuckled slightly, "Hehe, the Beijing Families have been too stagnant over the years; everyone is complacent. Suddenly having a lad like this to stir things up might impact the whole Beijing Families' layout quite a bit."
