She leaned forward slightly, her voice soft and melodious, like a nightingale in spring, with just the right amount of playfulness, and asked first: "Master, how are the roads around here lately? I'm in a hurry today and I'm afraid of getting stuck in traffic and wasting my time."
As she spoke, she blinked her big, bright eyes and looked at the driver expectantly.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she lightly patted her head and said, "By the way, Master, I'm planning to buy some small gifts for my partner. You travel to many places, do you know where there are any shops around here that sell unique little trinkets? Preferably those stylish little shops that are hard to find by ordinary people."
The driver, gripping the steering wheel, was caught off guard by her barrage of questions.
However, out of professional ethics, I patiently responded to each question, explaining everything from the road conditions to the locations of nearby specialty shops in a very logical and detailed manner.
He Yuzhu sat to the side, quietly watching everything, but his heart was pounding with unease.
I always felt that behind this girl's seemingly casual words lay other plans.
After a while, the taxi slowly started moving, the wheels making a soft sound as they rubbed against the ground.
We drove along the winding streets toward the suburbs.
He Yuzhu leaned back, sinking into the soft seat.
His eyes were mechanically fixed on the view outside the window.
The buildings along the street seemed to be pushed backward rapidly by an invisible hand.
Pedestrians flashed by like a revolving lantern, each with a different expression, some hurrying along, others leisurely and carefree.
But all this excitement was irrelevant to him; his mind was completely occupied by Lin Wanting's earlier actions.
At this moment, a strong intuition spread through my heart, like vines wrapping around it.
Tell him that the trip to the suburbs will likely be fraught with difficulties and will not go as smoothly as initially expected.
He Yuzhu had a feeling that things weren't so simple.
As expected, Lin Wanting resorted to her usual tricks.
At first, the address she gave the driver sounded plausible.
As the car drove along, He Yuzhu felt increasingly uneasy, as the surrounding environment was completely different from what he knew about the area where Zhao Yunhai's family lived.
He couldn't help but frown, glancing sideways at Lin Wanting, who was sitting to the side pretending nothing was wrong, and he already understood what was going on.
He Yuzhu shook his head helplessly, sighed heavily, and muttered under his breath, "This girl, why is she always so unreliable at crucial moments? It's really a headache."
In fact, He Yuzhu knew perfectly well the reasons behind Lin Wanting's actions.
Ultimately, her caution stemmed from a deep-seated fear that she wouldn't get the best of her master, Zhao Yunhai.
Zhao Yunhai is a highly respected figure in the martial arts world, with a well-established reputation.
His iron fists have been used to fight in all directions, and his superb skills have impressed countless masters. He is extremely powerful.
In contrast, Lin Wanting, although she had practiced martial arts since childhood and had some basic skills, usually held her own in sparring matches.
But if he were to actually stand and compare his skills with his master Zhao Yunhai, anyone with eyes could see that the difference was not just a little bit, but as vast as heaven and earth.
He Yuzhu had followed his master around since he was a child, and he deeply understood Lin Wanting's worries.
So even though he knew she had played some tricks and acted indirectly in this matter, he just shook his head helplessly and wasn't too angry.
He slowly leaned back in the soft seat, his long, slender fingers interlaced and held firmly to his chest.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he silently made up his mind.
From now on, he will definitely dedicate more time to carefully training Lin Wanting.
We need to ensure that she can think calmly and respond steadily when facing various complex and critical moments.
Never again will I act on my own judgment and nearly ruin everything, just like today.
He Yuzhu understood that to carve a beautiful jade, one must be patient and grind away its rough and unexpected edges.
Lin Wanting, a girl who is a bit willful and doesn't listen to advice in her new environment, is like a rough gem that hasn't been polished.
He Yuzhu plans to use her own unique approach to gradually smooth out these "rough edges" on her body.
In the days to come, many things need to be carefully arranged, and any detail may affect the overall situation.
Only by having those around you follow your instructions can you ensure that everything goes smoothly and without any mistakes.
He hoped that Lin Wanting could adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, and be able to quickly understand and resolutely execute his instructions at critical moments, so as to integrate into this closely collaborative system.
When talking about the women who accompany him at home, He Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Chapter 608 Challenge
With his unique skills, he devoted a great deal of time and energy to cultivating them, who were originally powerless, into experts of the highest level.
To outsiders, this was simply a fantasy, as unbelievable as a myth.
After all, apart from Zhao Yuezhen, who had loved martial arts since childhood and had a certain foundation, the other women knew nothing about martial arts before.
He started by teaching them the most basic stance training, gradually building their foundation, and then breaking down their techniques and imparting their inner strengths, working tirelessly day after day.
Now, although they all possess the strength of a master at the Transcendent Realm, they use this strength more for daily self-defense.
In real, intense battles, their ability to contribute is truly limited due to a lack of practical experience.
Zhao Yuezhen's growth trajectory is completely different from that of others.
From a young age, she developed a strong interest in martial arts, becoming quite obsessed with it, as if martial arts were an indispensable part of her life.
Through the changing seasons and the passing years, she never stopped practicing martial arts. After countless days and nights of arduous training, she has mastered many styles of kung fu, including Shaolin Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Xingyi Quan.
Every move she made reflected her hard work and dedication, and she had already demonstrated impressive skill, displaying the demeanor of a martial artist in every gesture.
With He Yuzhu's unreserved and meticulous help, Zhao Yuezhen's martial arts skills achieved a qualitative leap, like a rocket taking off, growing exponentially.
Now she has the ability to venture out into the world and is capable of handling the tricky and complicated matters of the martial arts world, standing firm in the ever-changing situation with her own skills.
However, fate is always full of unpredictability and variables.
The last attack on Xu Huizhen was like a boulder falling from the sky, crashing into her once peaceful life with tremendous force, instantly creating a huge upheaval.
The attack came without warning, was sudden and fierce, and the scene was truly breathtaking.
The attackers were ruthless and reckless, and Xu Huizhen was in grave danger.
In the midst of the chaos, everyone fought back with all their might. The whole process was fraught with danger, and every detail was terrifying.
Even today, whenever people recall that terrible scene, their hearts are still filled with lingering fear, as if that crisis is still close at hand and could strike again at any moment.
It was during that life-or-death crisis that He Yuzhu had a sudden realization, deeply understanding that protecting the safety of those around him had become the most important mission in his life. This matter was of paramount importance and could not be neglected in the slightest. Even the slightest safety hazard could lead to irreversible consequences.
Therefore, even though Zhao Yuezhen is extremely capable and has extraordinary skills to stand on her own, in this complex, ever-changing, and perilous world, for the safety of everyone, she had to temporarily put aside her idea of going out to work and resolutely take on the heavy responsibility of being a bodyguard.
After that, Zhao Yuezhen stayed by everyone's side at all times, her eyes scanning the surroundings warily, not letting go of any suspicious things, like a loyal guard, using her own body to build an unbreakable safety line for everyone.
He Yuzhu stood by the window, his posture upright, his gaze solemn as he looked into the distance at the vast yet seemingly perilous horizon.
With a furrowed brow, he secretly vowed to do everything in his power to improve the abilities of everyone around him as quickly as possible.
He knew that only in this way could he ensure that everyone could live peacefully and safely in this perilous world, free from any harm.
After all, in He Yuzhu's heart, the safety of Xu Huizhen and the other innocent children was the thing he cared about most and cherished the most. It was a bottom line that could not be crossed under any circumstances.
Zhao Yuezhen, as the undisputed core figure of the team, not only possesses remarkable skills, but also occupies an irreplaceable key position in the entire team structure due to her special identity.
She has a thorough understanding of the team's internal affairs, and with her extensive network of contacts and unique communication skills, she can always skillfully resolve various potential crises and maintain the team's stable operation.
If she were to encounter an accident while carrying out a mission, the entire team's information channels could be instantly blocked, and the progress of various plans would come to a standstill. This would undoubtedly be an unbearable disaster for everyone.
From the perspective of the team's overall development, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, we must not allow Zhao Yuezhen to easily take risks and devote herself to dealing with those complicated and risky matters in the outside world.
Just as He Yuzhu was frowning and racking his brains over the safety of those around him and the availability of combat power,
Lin Wanting's appearance was like a ray of dawn piercing through the gloom, instantly illuminating his chaotic thoughts.
This sparked new ideas in his previously stagnant mind, like a wildfire spreading.
He Yuzhu is very familiar with Lin Wanting's current situation.
She had only just stepped into the realm of Dark Force, and her skill was still shallow. Every time she exerted her strength to make a move, she carried the awkwardness of someone new to this field. Like a novice who had just left the martial arts world, she had only taken a small, trembling step on the long and thorny road of martial arts. The road ahead was long, full of unknowns and challenges.
However, she had been practicing martial arts since childhood, and through the arduous training day after day and year after year, she had built an extremely solid foundation.
When she stands, her posture is as straight as a pine tree, her foundation is firm, and her lower body is as solid as a rock deeply embedded in the ground.
When he throws a punch, his movements are fluid and graceful. Although the force of his punch is not particularly fierce, it is still very skillful. His solid foundation is like the firm foundation of a building, which is indestructible. When others see this, they can't help but admire him in their hearts.
Unfortunately, this girl was always troubled by a lack of vital energy. Whenever she sparred with others, if she circulated her internal energy a few times, her face would turn pale and her breathing would become disordered.
This lack of vital energy, like a minor flaw in a beautiful jade, greatly limits her further development in martial arts, as if it has placed an invisible shackle on her, making it difficult to break through the current bottleneck.
But in He Yuzhu's eyes, this so-called bottleneck is not an insurmountable barrier.
He is full of confidence, relying on his unique experience accumulated over many years in the field of martial arts and his own unique training methods.
In his view, if he could successfully persuade and win over Lin Wanting, given time, perhaps in just a few days, he could help her break through this shackle and enter the realm of a master.
Lin Wanting already possesses a solid foundation in martial arts; once she breaks through, it will be like a rocket being ignited, and her growth rate will be unstoppable.
Her full potential will be unleashed, and every training session and every real battle will bring about a visible transformation.
Before long, she will be able to stand alone in the martial arts world, becoming the sharpest sword in her own hand, playing a crucial role in turning the tide in the ever-changing situation.
Moreover, Lin Wanting is now a prisoner, and in He Yuzhu's heart, she is far less important than those close to him.
