Chapter 31: Starlight Shadow 2

  "Alright! You two have had enough fun, right? I may not be as good as you, but there's no need to mock me like this." Lin Yi was furious, his anger burning even hotter than before.

  "Xiaoyao, it seems like it won't work! Do you want to try again?" The girl asked Xiaoyao.

  "......, the soup inside seems to be ready, I'll go take a look!" Xiao Yao chose to flash away very decisively, abandoning him.

  The young lady was speechless again.

  "How should I put it..." The girl stared blankly ahead, still muttering to herself, and incredibly, she was still thinking of how to express it in a more tactful way.

  “……”

  "No need to say more, let's settle this with fists!!" Lin Yi said with a dark face.

  Fist? Why not use a sword?

  It's simple, the other party is just a young girl who doesn't even use weapons, how could he possibly use them? Anyway, he still practices fist techniques, and his skills won't be inferior to sword techniques.

  "Oh, that's good. I really couldn't think of anything else. This is more of a headache than defeating you." The girl said with a sigh of relief, as if defeating Lin Yi was simpler than speaking.

  “……”

  "Roar!"

  Lin Yi concentrated his inner energy, flashed his body, and threw a swift and fierce punch...

  Of course, this time he didn't use his old fist strength, this time he would reserve his strength to change moves, this was just a probe, because he had already started taking the girl seriously.

  The most feared thing about a move is when it becomes old, because that means you can't change your action, and the opponent can easily guess what your next move will be, making it easy to break through. In short, it's exposing a weakness.

  But if one is caught off guard, the consequences are predictable. Therefore, sometimes people only seek not to lose and not to win quickly, as long as they don't lose, they can find opportunities to gain victory.

  Lin Yitai had just been too careless, thinking he could win with one move, assuming his opponent couldn't dodge that one move of his, and he hadn't considered the consequences if his opponent did dodge it.

  And now, Lin Yi would consider more, first let himself be in an unbeatable position, and then find opportunities to win.

  In this case, even if Lin Yi's strength is inferior to that of the girl, he will not be easily defeated unless the girl has an absolute advantage!!!

  This is also why the level of internal power is not the reason for determining the strength or weakness, the application of moves, the response to the enemy, and the prediction of changes, these are all reasons that determine the strength or weakness.

  Bang!

  The girl's palm struck Lin Yi's fist, producing a loud crashing sound as she took the punch head-on!

  This scene made the young lady feel unexpected, she originally thought that the girl should be a soft and feminine warrior, relying on cleverness as her main strength, but the current situation proved that the girl was of the strong and masculine type, with both internal power and techniques being extremely robust.

  This probe made one thing certain for everyone: the girl's internal strength was in no way inferior to Lin Yi's, which was quite unexpected.

  Lin Yi was already a genius, one of the top figures in this generation of Mohist. The girl in front of him was younger than him, but she had an inner strength that was no weaker than his, which meant her talent was higher than Lin Yi's, at least not weaker than Lin Yi's.

  But this idea didn't stay in everyone's mind for long, because the next scene started to make people feel overwhelmed and a bit too busy.

  Lin Yi followed up with a swift punch, then another one!!

  The girl was a flurry of punches, each one landing quickly and being swiftly countered by Lin Yi. Whenever there was an opening, she would launch another attack, but her blows weren't particularly powerful and were easily deflected by Lin Yi.

  The two men's fists and palms met, exchanging blows quickly, and as the battle continued, their speed became faster and faster, with more and more varied moves. No, it should be said that Lin Yi's moves became more and more varied.

  The girl's moves seemed to be just a few, very similar, but the changes in speed and the places where they were used created an illusion that her moves were also varied.

  If others were to see this battle now, they would definitely be shocked. Is this really a fight between the younger generation of the Mo School? Are these two people really only this old?

  "Moe language, who do you think will win?" The little uncle on the side looked at the fighting scene and asked somewhat dazedly. He now felt that coming here was an absolutely correct decision, and he didn't expect to see such a wonderful scene.

  "I don't know, but I have a strange feeling, Seventh Sister... seems to be practicing her moves..." The young lady furrowed her brow slightly, she had this strange feeling in her heart, but somehow felt that it was impossible.

  "No way!!"

  Young uncle said blankly that he felt this was impossible. His thoughts were the same as those of the eldest sister. How could a battle of such intensity be like practicing moves?

  Unless the girl's strength had already far surpassed Lin Yi's, but how could that be possible? At this age, no matter how hard she trained, it was impossible to reach that level.

  But the fact is that the girl was indeed practicing her moves, and the only person she had practiced with before was Xīyáng, who hadn't even broken through to the basic level, so practicing with him couldn't achieve the effect she wanted.

  The Lin Yi in front of her is the best practice opponent, she naturally wouldn't let him go like this. Of course, her strength isn't much higher than Lin Yi's, it's just that her cultivation method has some special palm techniques, allowing her to easily practice moves in such a battle.

  The battle is ongoing, time is slipping away...

  "Done eating...... Hmm, why are you still fighting? Boss, let's talk things over nicely, but no need to fight, just be direct and don't hold back... Oh, you're practicing your moves? In that case, go ahead." Xīao came out and saw the battle was still going on, so he said this, but upon seeing the state of the battle, he changed his tone and let the girl continue.

  Wandering words can prove a point, the girl is indeed practicing her moves, otherwise it would have ended long ago.

  "It's almost time, I'm starting! Lone Star Palm third form, Stellar Shadow!!"

  The girl suddenly changed her speed and technique, a palm turned into dozens of residual shadows, making Lin Yi pause for a moment, unable to distinguish which one to block. Then, the dozens of residual shadows converged in an instant, turning back into a palm.

  And at this time, this palm was already on Lin Yi's chest, and it was also in the position where the girl was first hit...

  I lost... how is this possible...

  "...it's really practicing moves, what level is this girl at, and how did she practice to get like this, it's too unbelievable."

  Lin Yi was knocked to the ground and remained there in a daze!

  Young uncle was in a daze, his mouth agape, as if he didn't dare to believe it.

  Big sister is slightly lost in thought...

  At this moment, everyone was silent!

  "Alright, let's eat. It's rare for someone to accompany the boss for New Year's Eve dinner this year. Young Master Biao on the ground, you come too!" Xiao Yao's voice broke the silence, and his tone seemed very calm, as if nothing had happened just now.

  "I get it, you're intentionally leading people here..." The young lady was the first to react, temporarily putting aside her question and asking Xiang Yang instead.

  He seemed to be refusing people at first, not letting them know his boss, but in fact he was leading people here, just to let his boss have a few more people for the New Year's Eve dinner this year.

  It's imaginable that in the past, every year during Chinese New Year and other festivals, there was only one person accompanying the girl, and that was Xiao Yao, no one else!

  "Miss, don't talk nonsense. I've never allowed you to come here, and I didn't mean anything by it. Where did this 'intentionally leading people' come from?" Xiao Yao immediately spoke out in denial.

  You are a Mohist and can afford to be reckless, but I am just a small household servant, this mistake cannot be borne.

  "You little rascal, you're too slick!! Alright, never mind that. Did you prepare all these dishes? They seem to be of quite high standard." The young lady didn't take it seriously and smiled as she entered the house, with the girl entering before her.

  "It's okay, it's passable!" Xiao Yao replied.

  "Hmm, these dishes, I've really never seen anything like them before. How do you do it? You can make different dishes every time?" The young lady asked with some puzzlement, at this moment, she also thought clearly about the matter and felt that it wasn't easy either.

  "What's the big deal, there are over a hundred ways to cook a single chicken, with so many ingredients, it can be different every day, some people just get used to doing things one way, but I think they're all pretty much the same." Xiang said nonchalantly.

  "It seems like it's also possible...it's not that difficult..." The young lady nodded, habitually putting the matter aside in her mind, although she felt a bit abnormal about it.

  Xiaoyao seems to always make unexpected things, but they are all made up of very ordinary things. It was like that before, and today's dish is the same, it's just a different way of doing things with ordinary ingredients, anyone can do it.

  But with so many things happening to one person, it's not ordinary anymore. It will be discovered sooner or later, and Big Sister is just the beginning. There will be more people and more things in the future.

  Of course, being discovered by these people doesn't mean that everyone will notice, so the carefree days are still spent very freely and comfortably.

  Just like now, the big sister has discovered it, but others don't know, and just think of Xiao Yao as a small household slave, a small household slave who can do ordinary things well.

  The big sister, even if she found out about this issue, wouldn't mind too much. Just like now, she shook off her doubts and sat down to eat, starting to look for wine to drink.

  "Wine, how can we do without wine? Bring me some quickly..."

  "Just a minute, I'll go get the wine, it's still in the cellar!!" Xiao Yao replied. He didn't drink much himself, and his boss didn't drink at all, so he usually prepared the wine here. However, there were still several jars of wine left in the cellar from when he used to brew his own wine, which he had brought back with him.

  "Hurry up and come back quickly, don't keep sister waiting!!" The big sister shouted loudly.

  “……”
