96 Chapter 96 - Will-low Wants to Join the Group? (2/2)
”A kid like you should quietly play in a corner!” Gu Fei swiftly butted in and interrupted Royal God Call's pickup line. He then directed a troubled gaze on to Will-low, ”Couldn't you tell that 'she' is actually a 'he'? Although he doesn't look like one, his voice is a dead giveaway! He clearly spoke quite a few words since he entered the tavern.”
”Ah? I totally didn't notice…” Will-low said gloomily.
Gu Fei had no other words to say. This was a mistake he would expect Xiaoyu to make but not from Will-low who did not seem to be an airhead at all!
”I'll go apologize to him,” Will-low moved to chase after Young Master Han.
”Forget it,” Gu Fei tried to stop her but he was too late; Will-low had already run outside the premise. He rushed outside, only to find Will-low bowing repeatedly to Young Master Han to show her contrition.
Young Master Han still had that amiable smile on his face, saying ”I'm not that petty. This often happens to me, so I'm used to it. You can't join our group solely because you're not strong enough. Our team…” Young Master Han looked at the others, before pointing at Gu Fei, ”You know what he's capable, right? And yet, he's the weakest among us. If you wish to join our group, you need to at least be at his level.”
Will-low glumly said, ”It seems I can never join your group.”
Young Master Han nodded his head solemnly, ”That's why I said those words before.”
Meanwhile, the others gathered in a corner to quietly discuss the situation. ”Is he telling the truth or lying? Does he really not mind?” War Without Wounds asked.
”It's definitely a lie. Just look at his smile,” Brother Assist answered.
”Sword Demon, you know him best. What do you think?” Royal God Call asked.
”It's half true, half false!” Sword Demon replied.
”What do you mean?” Royal God Call pressed on.
”Will-low's level is truly not acceptable to him. But she has touched a nerve coincidentally, so he's using this opportunity to snub her. I think that's his initial intention, anyway,” Gu Fei chimed in.
Sword Demon looked at Gu Fei in surprise, ”You've got quite a good grasp of his character.”
”I've got no choice,” Gu Fei sighed, ”His personality is too obvious.”
”How come I can't see that?” Royal God Call scratched his head.
”What does a kid like you know? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice,” Gu Fei remarked.
Royal God Call was getting fed up with him by now.
”Alright, let's go!” After Will-low and Young Master Han concluded their talk, everyone finally hit the road.
”I'll definitely join your mercenary group,” Will-low whispered as she walked beside Gu Fei.
”So you've not given up yet, huh,” Gu Fei mused.
”Of course, not.”
”Good luck!” Gu Fei smiled.
”Hey, what did you do to get so OP?” Will-low asked inquisitively.
”Been training hard for twenty years nonstop even to these days,” Gu Fei answered.
”What have you been training hard?” Will-low asked, baffled.
”Kung fu,” Gu Fei replied.
”You mean to say you're so good at PvP wholly because you've been training kung fu?” Will-low had watched the entire process of Gu Fei's battle with Vast Lushness. That fight was not like Gu Fei's usual one-on-one bout that ended in two or three moves. Having spent quite some time observing him, she was convinced that Gu Fei was not an average player.
Gu Fei nodded his head.
”Oh? Can I learn it, too?” Will-low asked.
”If you've got the passion for it, of course I can teach you some moves. But you can forget it if your intention for learning kung fu is to be like me in-game. I doubt you'll be able to devote so much time to learning it,” Gu Fei candidly told her.
While Gu Fei had spent twenty years practicing kung fu, what he had learned in those years was incomparable to an average practitioner's. Kung fu was already his entire being with his lifestyle revolving around it. Moreover, talent factored when learning this particular martial art. The time an average person had to spend into practicing kung fu up to Gu Fei's current level would take about... forty or sixty years. Even their whole lives might not be enough to attain Gu Fei's kung fu prowess.A software(and app) that the Chinese use to send instant-messages to one another, except it is way bigger and has multiple uses aside from providing people a means to communicate. Think of Facebook Messenger, Discord, Whatsapp, etc., with its own virtual currency that later became transactable for things in real life due to its widespread usage and popularity of the platform.
