Chapter 2, some things cannot be explained

The young man felt that this action was quite foolish, akin to performing for a monkey. He thought to himself: The master said that human hearts are cunning, yet I am just a simpleton. Are these people not playing with me? Upon looking around, he saw that everyone had their eyes wide open, as large as fists, and they did not seem to harbor any contemptuous intent. However, he also had his pride and did not want to continue being displayed like a monkey for others to see. Before the stone roller could hit the ground, he executed a move akin to a dragon emerging from the abyss, retracting and then raising his wrist, striking the stone roller with a loud bang. He looked again and saw that everyone had their eyes wide open, as large as fists, and they did not seem to harbor any contemptuous intent. However, he also had his pride and did not want to continue being displayed like a monkey for others to see. Before the stone roller could hit the ground, he executed a move akin to a dragon emerging from the abyss, retracting and then raising his wrist, striking the stone roller with a loud bang. The stone roller, weighing at least 300 pounds, was sent flying over ten feet away, landing precisely in its original spot, without a single error!

He clasped his fists and said: "I apologize, I know I should have dodged, but I only wanted to stop you to clarify things. I did not intend to resort to violence, so I thought it best to hold you first. Alas... who would have thought I accidentally hurt this brother's hand? I truly did not mean it. Next time you ambush me, I will definitely just dodge and not touch you at all"

A long, filled with grief and anger, exclaimed: "Even if I cannot defeat you, I will still fight. Everyone has their own master. If you wish to harm my employer, you must kill me, A Long, first! Let us all charge together!" A dozen or so bodyguards drew their weapons and rushed forward.

The more sincere his tone was, the more ironic it sounded to the group of bodyguards. Five or six bodyguard apprentices rushed forward in anger, and the young man indeed kept his word, refusing to retaliate. With a slight misstep, he deftly evaded all their attacks.

Zhang Demeo thought to himself: "Indeed, the old saying is true, without three parts courage, how could one dare to ascend Mount Liang? I said that anyone who dares to act wildly at the Bright Blade Society must be a tough character!" Although Zhang the Head of the Escort is not considered top-notch in skills, his keen eyesight is undeniable. The moment this young man made a move, he knew he would definitely be no match. This, this...! In the martial world, I have never heard of such a young hero!

The young man, joyfully holding the stone roller, approached Zhang Demei, only to find Zhang Demei's expression was not right. He hesitated and asked, "May I... enter? Can I pass through?"

Zhang Demeo's face turned green, unable to utter a word. The young man continued, "I am here to find Huo Zhenting, my name is Huo Huaiyu, please let me in! Once you see him, you will know that I am not lying."

What are you drinking? I don't have enough weight, do I need to find a big shot? Have you lost your mind? Is Master Huo someone you can easily meet?

A bodyguard lunged forward, losing his footing as he dodged, and crashed into a pillar of the stage. Dazed, he slashed with the single knife in his hand, severing the slanted support beam of the stage in one stroke, which then came crashing down with a thunderous roar. The performers above screamed in terror; usually skilled in their practice, many of them could not help but let out high-pitched cries, their voices rising and falling in a continuous wave. Coupled with the dust and smoke billowing from the collapsed stage, swirling through the air, the scene below was filled with flashing blades and chaotic movements, truly a grand spectacle.

Pah! Aaron spat at him fiercely: "You still want to kick our main account? Do you even know what your last name is!"

A long stride brought him over, and he shouted, "Are you the one looking for our leader Zhang?"

The young man said: "You really misunderstood. I know that your boss does not know martial arts; he just has an interest in it. Huo Zhenting is my father, and I haven't seen him for five years. I just want to go in and see him!"

A Hu exclaimed: "Master, this idea is quite challenging! Please, you go ahead."

Zhang Demaos was as if he had seen a ghost; he did not bend his arm to exert force, but simply pinched with his fingers and caught it. The sharp-tongued member of the Shuanglong Escort Agency, originally intending to stand up for a friend, immediately felt uneasy upon witnessing this skill: "The Huiyou Escort Agency is the Huiyou Escort Agency, and our Shuanglong Escort Agency is our own. If he shows off his skills and fails, it will be his disgrace, but I cannot let my business be ruined along with his."

The young man was taken aback: "My surname is Huo!" He quickly realized: "No... this brother, you seem to have misunderstood. I am not here to challenge you; I am just here to look for someone!"

He asked: "Is this acceptable? If you still won't let me in, I won't insist. Please have Mr. Huo come out, he will recognize me when he sees me." His voice had already begun to show signs of displeasure

Go! Suddenly, a surge of heat coursed through her hands, and her bucktooth seemed as if someone was pushing her from beneath, compelling her to follow the man involuntarily.

Zhang Demei took a deep breath and said, "Little brother, you must ensure the safety of others while holding their rice bowl. You must find my employer, and I can only apologize for that!" As he spoke, he lowered the stone roller and prepared to exert himself. "Hey!" The stone roller, weighing at least 300 jin, was lifted by him with both hands as he said, "Take this, play with it for a bit, and then I'll let you in!" With a push, the stone roller was hurled towards the young man.

The young man patiently asked again, "Can you let me in? If not, could you please inform Brother that I would like to see Master Huo? I will wait."

The crowd was completely silent, as if they were all stunned, and it took a long time for them to come to their senses. "Good! Well practiced!" The thunderous applause erupted all around. The troublemaking buck-toothed girl was dumbfounded, murmuring, "My goodness! Just a casual point, and it's still a top expert. Am I really that accurate in recognizing people?" Her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yes! Teach him a lesson! Sharp hook! Sharp hook! Haha..." The troublemaking buck-toothed girl was dumbfounded, murmuring, "My goodness! Just a casual point, and it's still a top expert. Am I really that accurate in recognizing people?" Her eyes immediately sparkled with excitement, and she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Yes! Teach him a lesson! Sharp hook! Sharp hook! Haha..."

Everyone looked at him with expressions of shock and indignation, causing the young man to feel a bit uneasy. Suddenly, he recalled what Zhang Demao had just said: 'After this, just play around a bit, and then let him in.' He said, 'Ah, right, I forgot to play around a bit, my apologies, my apologies'

This display was met with thunderous applause; the onlookers cheered because he lifted such a large stone, while those with discerning eyes applauded not only for his ability to lift a three-hundred-pound stone but also for his capacity to speak while doing so, unafraid of losing his breath. Such skill is indeed extraordinary

Is that so? Zhang Demei has been encountering frustrating situations today, his expression turning cold: "So, are you saying that Zhang has the honor of receiving this hero's attention? Although I have many matters to attend to today, I suppose I must meet this hero after all." The young man, sensing his unfriendly tone, was momentarily taken aback, then quickly forced a smile and said: "Zhang, if you have matters to attend to, please do not mind me. I can seek out any other escort. I just want to inquire..."

The men of Tianjin are truly unafraid of trouble, even when blades are drawn inside, the crowd outside shows no sign of diminishing. If someone in the midst displays an impressive move, the thunderous applause will still resound without reservation.

Hey, hey, hey, don't pull me! I haven't had enough of it yet, it's so exciting!" She cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted, "Hey! The sharp-tongued one I mentioned is back, right here! You all finish that and come over to me..." Just as she called out loudly, the man was well aware of her bad habits. With a surge of internal energy, she felt a heat in her throat and could not utter a word. Her face turned red from holding it in, and she walked out of the crowd without being able to unleash any mischief. The courtyard was bustling with activity, and no one stopped her.

The young man stepped back with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "Big brother, I am not looking for you; you see, I don't even know you. I am looking for Huo Zhenting. I thought I would have to go to Beijing to see him, but coincidentally, as soon as I arrived in Tianjin, I heard that the new establishment has opened. He is so skilled in martial arts; I thought he must be inside."

The young man exclaimed with joy: "Are you letting me in now?" A stone roller came flying towards him, but the young man stood his ground, not moving an inch. He simply reached out and caught it, as if he were catching a sweet potato. Then, holding the stone roller, he took a few steps forward and asked happily, "Can I go in now?"

Zhang Demei stepped forward and coldly snorted: "This young hero, it may be fine for others, but everyone knows that Master Huo does not possess martial arts skills, and our boss is not a person of the martial world. What good is martial arts? If you wish to measure your skills against me, Zhang will certainly oblige!"

The young man quickly turned around and said, "Oh, I’m sorry, big brother. I often get ambushed by my master, and I didn’t think and just kicked out my leg..." His words sounded even more damaging; if he could kick accurately without thinking, didn’t that imply that dealing with A Long didn’t require any thought at all?

Holding the stone roller, having never played with such an object before, the young man was unsure of how to use it. With countless pairs of eyes fixed on him, he threw the stone roller into the air, caught it with his right hand, and it flipped numerous times in mid-air. He then tossed it around a few times, playing with it.

The bodyguards all came to a halt, and Zhang Demei said: "Young hero, we are all friends on this path. As the saying goes, a loud sound travels far; one who travels the seas knows the world. In this place of intersection, how about yielding a little to your brother?" His meaning was that you possess exceptional martial skills and can traverse the world at will; just let me have this small piece of land beneath your feet! This was already a soft plea.

Ah—Ahu let out a terrifying scream, and the young man quickly released his grip. By heaven and earth, he hadn't even exerted himself yet! Usually, he would apply ten times this much force, and his master would always sarcastically say, 'Did I not feed you, or have you contracted child paralysis in your hands and feet?' This person's fists are just too fragile to squeeze.

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar all around. "You little brat, you are being too much!" A Long said as he kicked the young man hard in the knee. The young man felt the wind behind his leg, and without thinking, he swiftly stepped aside and then lightly hooked his foot. "Thud!" A Long fell flat on the ground, his face buried in the black mud.

"Great! Good!" A person in the crowd with prominent buck teeth and shining eyes cupped their hands around their mouth and shouted loudly. Suddenly, their wrist was gripped tightly, and they felt a surge of weakness throughout their body, being dragged along for several steps. Upon turning around, she saw and joyfully exclaimed, "Brother Qin! I thought you had left! Come, let us go see the excitement."

The young man said: "Zhang Zhenren is indeed my master, you know this big brother, so I can go in now, right?" After saying this, he eagerly walked inside.

The young man had already bent down, reaching out to help A Long up, when Zhang Demaos another disciple, A Hu, let out a loud shout and lunged forward. With a move known as 'Tiger's Grasp', he aimed for the young man's lower back. The young man turned around and extended his hand, and A Hu's fist seemed to have aimed itself directly into his hand, which he caught perfectly.

The young man helplessly said: "What are you saying? I know it is a lip classic, but I don't understand. My master said that only fools speak like that, and he would never let me learn it, I really don't understand."

A Long was furious: "You little rascal! You think you can single-handedly kick out our Friendship Escort Agency? You are quite bold, aren't you?"

Indeed, indeed. The young man smiled and said, "I am looking for the Huiyou Escort Agency." He glanced around happily and said, "Is that person on the stage Head Escort Zhang? Alright, looking for Head Escort Zhang is fine too"

"Yo yo yo, Huo Dongjia is your father, why don't you say that Zhang Zhenren from Tianshan is your master? You might just scare me to death!" A Long shouted from the side

Following her指, people looked back together, moving aside to give the young man a path. The young man had no idea what was happening, and seeing people making way, he clasped his hands in gratitude from all sides, saying, "Thank you, thank you, excuse me, excuse me!" He smiled as he walked in.

"Kick the door? No, not at all." The young man looked astonished: "I was originally going to Beijing to find the Huijiu Escort Agency, but as soon as I arrived in Tianjin, I heard that a branch had opened. I was so delighted that I..."

"Looking for someone? Trying to test your skills, are you?" A Long stepped forward and pointed at his own chest, saying, "Forget about others, you should look for me first!"

Among the guests who arrived, there were many skilled individuals. This time, one truly could not stand idly by. They all stepped forward to assist, yet the young man was still able to refrain from retaliating, relying solely on his agility to dodge back and forth. Although there were many of them, for the moment, they could not close in on him even by half a step.

However, it was clearly not an option to remain idle. He quickly pondered how he could come up with a solution that would not bring him shame. Glancing around the venue, he spotted the stone roller used for training and felt a surge of joy in his heart. The powerful skills he had honed for twenty years with the Great Strength Diamond Palm could finally be put to use. He leaped onto the stone roller and shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

The young man dodged incessantly and said: "What are you all talking about? Huo Zhenting is my father, and I am his son Huo Huaiyu! I have been learning from my master for five years and haven't returned home. I want to see my father! Is what I said not clear enough?" Unfortunately, everyone was eager to come forward and fight him, and no one listened to his words
