When Xiao Zheng opened his eyes, it was already broad daylight. He looked out through the window, and saw the endless green mountains stretching like a painting in the distance, with mist swirling around and shimring with vibrant colors under the sunlight.
The location of Yunlan Villa is one of the top spots in the entire Zhonghai City, with a very beautiful living environnt. So of the scenery is comparable to a 5A-level tourist attraction.
Xiao Zheng felt a great sense of relaxation. He got up and walked out of the room. When he went downstairs to the first floor, he was surprised to find Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran both there.
Leng Ruobing is the president of Qianqiu Group and is extrely busy, usually having to leave for work very early. Xiao Zheng used to go to the company with her, but now the business of Qianqiu Entertainnt has already been established, so he basically doesn’t need to work.
Besides her involvent with Qianqiu Entertainnt, Chu Xiaoran also needs to attend university. It is said that this little girl has failed several courses recently and is currently struggling to catch up on her studies and prepare for retests.
So seeing both ladies here early in the morning made Xiao Zheng feel a bit strange.
"Why are both of you staying at ho today?" Xiao Zheng sat up at the table, tore open a piece of bread, and asked with a smile while eating.
"Did you forget what day it is today?" Chu Xiaoran snorted.
"Hmm? What day is it today?" Xiao Zheng was puzzled and quickly tried to recall, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t rember.
"It’s Sunday today! We have a holiday!" Chu Xiaoran shouted.
"So that’s it, you sounded so serious I thought it was so big occasion." Xiao Zheng flicked Xiaoran’s forehead, "Punishnt deserved!"
"Ouch."
Chu Xiaoran yelped, covering her forehead with two fair hands, and angrily said, "Why did you hit , you brute."
Xiao Zheng laughed heartily, "You deceived my feelings."
Leng Ruobing smiled helplessly at the side, "Alright, you two, stop bickering and eat up."
"Hmph!"
Chu Xiaoran glared at Xiao Zheng and then buried her head in her al, ignoring him.
"Speaking of which, it’s Sunday today, I hadn’t noticed. Since both of you are at ho, why don’t we go out and have so fun?" Xiao Zheng touched his chin and suggested.
Saying this made him realize that he hadn’t spent much ti with Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran recently, always being out and about. To Xiao Zheng, these two won were akin to family mbers, so much so that he had even taught them martial arts skills like the Muscle Strengthening Scripture without reservation. Not having kept them company made him feel a bit guilty.
"Sounds great, where shall we go to play?" Chu Xiaoran perked up at the proposal.
Leng Ruobing did not express any objections either.
The two won discussed and decided that with only one day, and no particularly exciting plans, it might be best just to go shopping and watch a movie.
Xiao Zheng imdiately opposed the idea, as shopping didn’t interest him as a grown man. However, under the "authority" of Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, Xiao Zheng had no choice but to reluctantly comply.
After eating, Xiao Zheng drove with the two won to Wanyuan Square, the largest in Zhonghai City, a massive complex integrating dining, entertainnt, shopping, and culture known as the city center, with plenty to enjoy.
Typically, individuals like Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, with assets in the billions, enjoy pastis like golf, swimming, and climbing.
They also choose top-notch venues, only accessible with substantial wealth, where custors are usually top-tier elites, making it convenient to expand networks while having fun.
More upscale entertainnt focuses on personal interests; for instance, Leng Ruobing loves painting, has organized exhibitions, and invited many to view her works.
But being in her twenties, she’s not overly fond of "elegant" sports, and places like the lively, bustling Wanyuan Square appeal more.
The three had great fun around the plaza, starting at the ga arcade on the thirteenth floor, playing various gas, with Chu Xiaoran even winning a dance ga championship, then shopping extensively at the malls, buying so much only Evil God could barely carry it. When hungry, they ravaged the food court on the underground first floor, thoroughly enjoying it.
Xiao Zheng could only follow with a wry smile.
But seeing even the usually cold Leng Ruobing smiling, and Chu Xiaoran nearly turning into a cheerful mad girl, his mood brightened considerably.
He had been in constant battle, amidst blood and fire, and now suddenly amidst such a lifelike scene, he felt a surprising inner peace.
"Perhaps I prefer a tranquil life?"
Xiao Zheng unexpectedly had this insight.
And within this mindset, his martial arts realm seed to loosen slightly.
This surprised Xiao Zheng greatly, as he sowhat didn’t understand, but finally, he ca to realize.
"Having experienced blood and fire, and tasted the simplicity and truth of life, it counts truly as living a complete life."
Xiao Zheng pondered, "So-called martial arts practice is about discovering your true self, and such contrasting experiences greatly assist in realizing that true self."
These martial arts principles reach a depth almost akin to philosophy, beyond re "techniques" to "way," leaving even Xiao Zheng sowhat confused.
The path of martial arts is long and requires much exploration, even for a genius like Xiao Zheng.
...
After playing for the day, nearing evening, Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran decided to return. Xiao Zheng secretly wiped a cold sweat, feeling that accompanying girls shopping is indeed a tornt, not physically tiring, but ntally exhausting.
Especially when buying things, they showed interest in nearly everything, enthusiastically trying each without getting bored.
But just as he got into the car, a cold glint flashed in Xiao Zheng’s eyes; he sensed soone seed to be tailing them.
Xiao Zheng’s lips curled into a small smile, and he said to Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran, "You both wait here for a mont, I’m going to the restroom."
"Go ahead."
The two won were busy excitedly looking through their purchases and didn’t even lift their heads.
Xiao Zheng smiled wryly, shook his head, and then walked out, heading towards a secluded corner. As expected, the individuals he sensed followed him.
"Hey, I want to see who’s got the guts to follow ," Xiao Zheng’s lips curled into a slightly wicked smile, thinking that having the nerve to tail the Evil God was truly bold.
