179: Chapter 179: Only by Studying Well Can You Beco the Boss 179: Chapter 179: Only by Studying Well Can You Beco the Boss As soon as the head ruffian spoke, several others quickly sward up, punching and kicking Su Xuan with no semblance of technique.
However, Su Xuan always managed to make their punches and kicks miss, and he didn’t hurt them either.
After about ten minutes, the ruffians were so exhausted that they lay sprawled out.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Xuan promptly grabbed the leader and the short one, turning them upside down and lifting them by their legs, asking, “Convinced or not?”
The short one and the leader of the ruffians, dangled upside down, felt dizzy.
Seeing their brothers exhausted like dead pigs, they instantly knew they had encountered a master and began to beg for rcy, “Convinced, big brother, we’re totally convinced.
Please, put us down.
We realize our mistake.”
“Mistake?
What mistake?
At such a young age, instead of going to school, you imitate others by mingling in society and chasing girls.
Look at you few, still wet behind the ears, your hair isn’t even fully grown, right?
Do you want to strip down and check?” Su Xuan said while holding them upside down.
Hearing that Su Xuan wanted to pull down their pants, the two youngsters were scared out of their wits and said to him, “Big brother, it wouldn’t be right to pull down our pants in such a public place, it would affect public decency.
Please, big brother, spare us.
We realize our mistake!”
“It’s not right to pull down your pants in public, but it’s okay to harass girls?
Are you going to dare harass girls again?
Speak!” Su Xuan pretended to be angry to scare them!
The two kids imdiately swore on the ground, “We will absolutely not dare to do it again.
If we ever do such a thing again, may we be struck by lightning, and et a miserable end!”
“Good, I’ll let you off this ti.
But if I ever catch you harassing young girls again, I’ll cut off your ‘little brothers’!” Saying that, Su Xuan put the two ruffians down!
The leader of the ruffians, upon being let down, suddenly knelt down with a thud and said to Su Xuan, “Big brother, your martial arts are so powerful, please take as your disciple!”
At this, the other ruffians lying on the ground also knelt down with a series of thuds, kowtowed and said, “Big brother, please take us as your disciples!”
It seed that the leader of the ruffians wasn’t just a boss in na; he also had so ideas.
But to Su Xuan, all of this was just ridiculous.
Here he was, a random passerby playing the hero to save a damsel, and suddenly he had beco their master?
What utter nonsense!
So with a serious face, Su Xuan gave the kneeling gang of ruffians a piece of his mind, “Look at you hoodlums, even considering taking as your master.
What do you want kung fu for, to go from small-ti bullies to big-ti thugs?
Can’t you do sothing aningful?
Do you know what I was doing at your age?
I was studying hard.
Without a smart head on your shoulders, you won’t even be able to lead your own gang, let alone contribute to the country.”
Su Xuan paused, his mind scrambling to think of sothing positive and aningful to educate these youngsters.
“So, rember, might isn’t the power that conquers all; it’s intelligence that truly conquers everything.
Hurry back and study hard.
Don’t hang around in society aimlessly every day.
It won’t do you any good.
Understand?”
Ah, finally done with the lecture, Su Xuan thought to himself, feeling that making up lies was more exhausting than fighting.
“Good.” Bai Xue, standing in the back, managed to suppress her laughter after hearing Su Xuan’s nonsense, clapped her hands with approval and walked towards Su Xuan!
Seeing Bai Xue approaching, the ruffians’ eyes widened and they couldn’t help exclaiming, “Wow, what a beauty!”
Of course, Bai Xue was pleased to hear this, but she still pretended to be stern and said to Su Xuan, “Look at these little devils having naughty thoughts again.
Should we teach them another lesson?”
The little devils were frightened and quickly kowtowed while pleading, “rcy, beautiful sister, rcy, beautiful sister!”
Su Xuan also chid in to Bai Xue, “You see, they were just speaking the truth by calling you beautiful, they didn’t do anything wrong.
Let’s leave it at that!”
“Hmm, alright then, but don’t let it happen again!
You little devils better get going, and be sure to study hard when you get back, understood?”
Upon hearing this, the ruffians quickly nodded their agreent, then stood up and ran off at speed.
After the ruffians had left, Bai Xue couldn’t hold back her laughter any longer and burst out laughing where she stood.
At that mont, the young girl who had been harassed also approached Su Xuan, then stopped in front of him and said, “Big brother, thank you for saving .
You looked so cool just now!”
Feeling incredibly smug inside, Su Xuan really wanted to flip his hair and say, “Yes, I am handso.” But to maintain his image, he spoke gently to the young girl, “Yes, yes, little girl, be careful when you go out next ti.
You’re so pretty, it’s easy to attract the wrong kind of attention from creeps.”
“Thank you, big brother, can I, can I invite you to dine with ?” the little girl said shyly, her head bowed.
When Su Xuan heard this, he was instantly taken aback, thinking to himself: wow, what’s going on today, is this so kind of peach blossom luck?
But although this “peach blossom” is beautiful, she’s too young and obviously not to my taste.
Thus, he politely refused, “Little sister, big brother never leaves his na when doing good deeds, nor does he seek any reward, so let’s skip the al invitation, okay?”
Bai Xue, who was nearby, nodded upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, thinking to herself that at least he’s acting properly.
If even a little girl isn’t safe from Su Xuan’s advances, he’d be worse than a beast.
However, the little girl was persistent, saying to Su Xuan, “My mom told it’s important to repay kindness.
You saved , and you’re so handso.
Please accept, just one al, please!”
As she spoke, the girl coquettishly shook her own arm.
But the first thing that went through Su Xuan’s mind was that it seed his chance to do sothing shaful with Bai Xue was once again slipping away.
How disappointing indeed!
The little girl took Su Xuan and Bai Xue to a traditional Chinese restaurant.
The building was simple and elegant, constructed with a fragrant type of wood.
Just by looking at the architecture, it was evident that this was a high-end establishnt.
The little girl told Su Xuan that she and her parents often dined here because the food was exceptionally delicious.
Moreover, the restaurant had a unique promotion: there was an old man playing the guqin, and if any diner could play the instrunt and win the applause of the old man and the other custors, the al would be completely free, including any specialties from the nu!
However, since the guqin is such a difficult instrunt, very few people can play it nowadays.
Most patrons ca to enjoy the hustle and bustle and listen to the old man’s music.
Truth be told, the old man’s guqin skills were indeed superb, soothing one’s mood and allowing a temporary escape from worldly troubles.
The three of them sat by the window, close to where the old man was playing.
At that mont, Zheng, with his eyes squinted, was completely absorbed in playing the guqin.
Even when the crowd around him applauded, he seed deaf to all but his music.
As the piece ended, everyone rose to clap, deeply impressed by the old man’s skill.
Then the old man stood up, bowed to everyone, and said, “Thank you all.
Today is the twentieth anniversary of our restaurant.
The piece I just played, scarce few can play ‘Mountain and Stream’ nowadays.
I’m sorry if it wasn’t excellent, please forgive !
Also, if today anyone can play ‘Mountain and Stream’ and win everyone’s praise, not only will the al be free, but the restaurant will fulfill any request of that custor.”
The reason the owner dared to make such a bold offer was that he was well aware that most custors ca to enjoy the music rather than to play.
There were few who could play, and even fewer who could play well.
To find soone who could play a piece like ‘Mountain and Stream’, which was nearly lost to ti, was next to impossible.
“Little sister, do you have any wishes?” Su Xuan asked the little girl after hearing the old man’s speech.
The little girl instantly understood Su Xuan’s implication and looked at him in disbelief, “Big brother, you can play that piece!”
Bai Xue also looked at Su Xuan with the sa incredulous expression, “No way, I had no idea you had this talent!”
“Just learned it!” Su Xuan said smugly to both of them.
Upon hearing Su Xuan’s words, Bai Xue imdiately rolled her eyes, and the little girl, looking sowhat disappointed, said to Su Xuan, “Oh, I thought you could really play it!”
“What would you wish for if big brother really could play it?” Su Xuan asked!
After pondering for a mont, the girl excitedly said, “Well, if big brother can really play, then I want an autographed photo of the South Korean oppa Kim Hyun Joong, and to take a picture with him!
I really like him, he’s so handso!”
Upon hearing this, Su Xuan felt a twinge of annoyance.
He thought, this girl is truly head over heels.
Besides, here stands such a handso commander like himself, not any less attractive than that Kim guy!
And yet, this little girl wants a photo with a Korean pretty boy, an autograph no less.
It’s an affront to his own pride!
“Sigh, if only big brother had just learned it, surely it wouldn’t be good.
But I’m already content having such a handso hunk like you accompanying for a al!” the little girl continued.
Feeling much better, Su Xuan then told her, “Alright, since that’s the case, just wait here.
I’ll fulfill your dream of eting your South Korean oppa!”
With that, Su Xuan imdiately stood up and walked toward the old man playing the guqin.
The old man watched the young man approach, nodding silently, then said, “Young man, I admire your courage.
Seeing soone as young as you playing the guqin truly warms my heart.
However, ‘Mountain and Stream’ is a very challenging piece.
May I ask, how many years have you been studying the guqin?”
