Chapter 172 Gao Fei Has a Pupil (2/2)

Xiao Bing grinned. ”You don't think I'm at the Transforming Strength stage?”

”The power you have shown is indeed within the stage of Transforming Strength. But you are at a higher level compared with even a master at the prime stage of Transforming Strength. If it weren't for me having noticed the subtle difference, I would have thought that you were just an ordinary martial artist of Transforming Strength.”

Xiao Bing grinned. ”Since we both have secrets, then we should respect each other's secrecy.”

”I'll beginning tutoring her tomorrow and she will be at the Concealing Strength stage within a month.”

Xiao Bing was still surprised upon hearing it, even though he knew that Gao Fei was quite a capable man. Xiao Bing believed that, besides him, who was once the strongest in this world, there were few who had the same confidence that Gao Fei had. He found this Gao Fei more and more intriguing.

After returning to the noodle house, Gao Fei walked up to Zhan Hongyan, who seemed to have known what Gao Fei was about to tell her. The nervousness on her face was conspicuous. The others all cast them glances of curiosity, wondering what happened.

Gao Fei suddenly snorted sarcastically, ”Your mentality is so weak yet you dream of being my pupil?”

They recalled that Zhan Hongyan had asked Xiao Bing to go out to discuss something with him before, and they realized that she must have asked him to do something for her. ”Wow, she wants to be my brother's student?” Maggie exclaimed with mounting disbelief.

Every time Zhan Hongyan was near Gao Fei, fear would arise from the bottom of her heart. However, upon hearing his sarcastic words, she thought of the desire to be stronger and suddenly raised her chest and spoke aloud, ”I want to learn from you and get stronger.”

Gao Fei gazed at this woman for a moment and he suddenly nodded. ”I have told my boss that I won't take you as my student. But I will begin training you now and then starting tomorrow. But remember, don't call me your teacher until I have acknowledged you. Moreover, my way of training is rather cruel. If you can't withstand it, then I'll stop training you.”

Seemingly excited, Zhan Hongyan opened her mouth and was intending to call him teacher, but she did not let the word escape from her tongue. ”Thank you, Mr. Gao.”

”You're welcome.”

Maggie's eyes blinked with vast disbelief as she opened her mouth wide. She was 100 percent certain that Gao Fei would refuse because she knew her brother better than anyone. But she was wrong this time.

In her memory, Gao Fei had always been an extremely apathetic man. He probably had never smiled at anyone, except for Maggie, let alone impart his knowledge of martial arts unto a woman he barely knew. And Zhan Hongyan did not seem to be a rare talent in martial arts.

But everyone still felt happy for Zhan Hongyan. They even proposed to toast to the teacher and the student. But Gao Fei refused because both he and Zhan Hongyan didn't drink. So not long after, they all went home.

They parted with each other at the door. Lil Bei was still protecting the women of the Su family. Su Xiaoxiao stared at Xiao Bing sadly, thinking of the days when Xiao Bing would make breakfast for her. She missed those days. But they had long gone before she realized it.

Actually, she thought of those days all the time recently. She really wanted the time back.

But she was a girl who appeared to be cold on the outside but was warm on the inside. She would not ask Xiao Bing to come with her, even though she missed him so badly. Besides, so many things had happened to the Ye family, and Ye Xiaoxi needed someone to be there for her.

Li Chunlan looked at Xiao Bing and spoke with great sincerity. ”Lil Bing, why not stay at my place for a few days when you have time. Xiaoxiao will be delighted by your company. She must grow bored of this old woman.”

Su Xiaoxiao pouted, ”Mom, you are still pretty young. And how can you be so sure that I'd enjoy his company?”

Xiao Bing grinned. ”I'll definitely pay you two a visit soon, auntie.”

”I'm happy to hear that. Goodbye then. Be careful on the road.”

”How about I give you two a ride?”

”That's not necessary. It would be a pity if we didn't walk under the splendid starry sky tonight.”

”All right then. Goodbye, auntie.”

Xiao Bing got into his car after everyone had left. But suddenly, he noticed that there were a man and woman seemingly quarreling on the roadside. The girl seemed extremely familiar to him. Xiao Bing pulled over and lunged at them with a face full of fury.
