"Is it you?"
Professor Erica Hu did not expect the person who came to help at this moment to be Andrew Qi. This was somewhat surprising to her, but she immediately hugged the little boy protectively, like a cow guarding her calf.
At this time, the two soldiers thrown out by Andrew Qi got up and charged again, only to be fiercely glared at by Andrew, "What, was that throw not far enough?"
The soldiers hesitated, still confused about being thrown out just now. Thinking about it, the opponent must be of great strength and skill.
"Useless fools! ― Morrison Chen, you go and take a look."
At this moment, an old lady's voice came from the back seat, "Erica Hu, is this the young man you found at the university? Just like a flirtatious woman, how can my grandson have a good future with you!"
Erica Hu, furious, retorted, "Don’t slander people! He is my student! ― Luca is my son, and I have the right to raise him!"
"Shut up! Luca is the grandson of Huo family. How can he be raised by a woman of no status like you ― Morrison Chen, go and take my grandson here!" The old lady's voice carried an air of superiority.
Hearing this, Erica Hu showed a look of panic on her face, apparently aware of the old lady's capabilities and feeling that no one could help her.
The driver, Morrison Chen, had already gotten out of the car. He was a lean old man in his fifties dressed in a blue Chinese suit, with heavy footsteps that could be heard even in the noisy environment!
"Young man, I see you are a martial artist too. I advise you not to meddle in other people's family affairs!" said the old man to Andrew Qi, his voice strong and full of internal energy, indicating he was a martial artist in the middle stage of internal strength.
Erica Hu looked at Andrew Qi and explained, "If they take Luca away, I will never see him again! I am Luca’s mother, and I am most qualified to raise him ―"
"This ― Professor Hu, do you think it's useful to reason with them at this time?" Andrew Qi replied with a light smile. The others were already in a stance to snatch the child, how could they be expected to be reason with?
However, since Andrew Qi had already intervened, how could he just back down? He directly said to Morrison Chen, "Since you can intervene, why can't I?"
"Young and impulsive, you deserve to be baffled!"
Morrison Chen snorted coldly, reaching out to grab Andrew Qi. His capturing technique was extremely skilled, like the claws of an eagle, grabbing Andrew Qi's shoulder in an instant. He exerted his internal strength, trying to throw Andrew out just as Andrew had done to the soldiers before.
If Andrew Qi were thrown out, he would certainly be in a sorry state!
However, surprisingly, Andrew Qi did not get thrown out, but stood firmly, unmoving!
He shrugged his shoulder, and activated the Whaling Four Seas technique, absorbing the internal strength that Morrison Chen had exerted. The elder was so shocked that he withdrew his hand as if it had been burnt.
"Who are you!" Morrison Chen was greatly surprised, then whispered something to the old lady in the car, seemingly indicating that Andrew Qi's skills were not inferior to his own, and he must have a notable background.
Hearing the old lady's command, Morrison Chen said to Andrew Qi, "Young man, you have achieved internal strength, so you must have some background. But, you have no idea about the Huo family's affairs. How dare you meddle with our affairs?"
"I have already done so, so what about it?"
Andrew Qi didn't want to waste time here and simply went straight to the point, "And for the old hag sitting in the car, you keep saying this is your family’s affair, why don’t you show yourself? Are you afraid of getting sunburnt or aging?"
This comment caused laughter among the onlookers.
"Morrison Chen, let’s go! There will be another day!" The voice of the old lady in the car sounded very cold, "Young man, you will pay the price for your arrogance and ignorance! I guarantee it!"
Andrew Qi, as if he hadn't heard the old lady's threat, turned to Erica Hu and said, "Professor Hu, don't leave the university these few days. I don't believe they would dare to snatch someone directly from the school."
"Um... Andrew, thank you!" Erica Hu didn't expect to be saved by Andrew Qi, her most detested student of nepotism. Her feelings were naturally complicated, but she also knew Andrew was right. As long as she stayed in the university, the Huo family wouldn't dare to snatch someone from there.
However, judging from the old lady’s tone, it seemed unlikely that she would let Andrew Qi go easily, so Erica Hu was about to warn Andrew Qi, but he had already turned and walked away.
She was just a mere old lady, how could she threaten a cultivator?
***
When Andrew Qi returned to the small courtyard, Alisa Lin was already waiting outside.
Although Andrew Qi didn't mind her entering his small courtyard, Alisa Lin had her own thoughts. She felt she should respect the trust Andrew Qi had in her, even though she didn't understand why he trusted her a little more than others.
Colton Chu and Nolan Chu had said similar things before, but Alisa Lin, having a straightforward mindset, didn't notice it. It was only after Andrew Qi formed a new internal strength vortex for her and passed on the Nameless saber technique to her that she realized Colton Chu and Nolan Chu's words might be true.
Destroy and then establish. Alisa Lin, now at the early stage of internal strength, could feel the terrifying power and huge potential hidden in the saber-shaped vortex in her dantian. This saber-shaped vortex was incredibly responsive, and with a single thought, her internal strength would burst forth. In terms of strength alone, she was far superior than before!
What's more, Alisa Lin found that the intent of the Nameless saber technique could perfectly integrate into her leg techniques, making them fiercer and swift!
In these few days, Alisa Lin truly began to admire Andrew Qi and gradually understood the meaning of the words "destroy and then establish, be invincible in the world",
The invincibility of destroying and then establishing is not about surpassing others, but surpassing oneself!
The true enemy of a martial artist or cultivator is oneself!
Only those with great wisdom and willpower can make the decision to erase their own cultivation and start over completely.
"Sorry, I got held up by something on the way." Andrew Qi knew she held a strong sense of punctuality, so he explained.
"A little matter? Or ran into a little trouble?" Alisa Lin was intent on pulling Andrew Qi into the Sheal Martial Arts Group Nine, naturally wanting to solve all his worries. She had even given similar instructions to Colton Chu and Nolan Chu before.
And Colton Chu's response was very straightforward, to treat him like a grandmaster!
So, those trivial matters would naturally be handled by the Chu family and Alisa Lin.
Seeing Alisa Lin so enthusiastic, Andrew Qi briefly described the earlier incident to her.
"The military area? Huo family?"
Alisa Lin snorted coldly, "I know, it must be Jason Huo! He's just a colonel in the military, holding a position of power in Jin Cheng City, but if we wanted to deal with him, it's not impossible! I can use the Sheal Martial Arts Group Nine to investigate ―"
"You said it yourself, Jason Huo is not worth mentioning. I am now concerned about the Ye family in Yuzhou ― Allie, make arrangements for me to visit your Lin family's Master Lu!" Andrew Qi suddenly said.
With the storm approaching, it's important to be prepared!
