"Your speed is too slow!"
Wan Yunting smiled, looking at Kang Nuolan, who was still in a kicking pose. Like a master guiding a disciple, he was calm and composed.
Kang Nuolan's pretty face turned cold, as if provoked. She immediately retracted her leg, landed, and after a 180-degree spin, swept her left leg towards Wan Yunting's head.
*Pa!*
Flesh met flesh. Wan Yunting raised his hand to block her sweeping left leg. His feet were as stable as a pine tree, rooted to the spot. He smiled and said, "Your power isn't enough!"
This time, Kang Nuolan's brows furrowed. She quickly withdrew her leg and retreated two steps, her almond-shaped eyes fixed on Wan Yunting. She had used seventy percent of her strength, yet this person in front of her had effortlessly blocked her kick.
Apart from the wind from her foot making his short hair stir slightly, his body remained completely still.
This shocked Kang Nuolan. She knew this person was definitely a master!
But unwilling to admit defeat, Kang Nuolan's willow eyebrows knitted, her gaze sharp. She gathered strength in her right leg, her waist remaining unrotated, her left foot landing. She spun 360 degrees in the air again, her right leg sweeping towards Wan Yunting once more.
This time, she used her full strength!
Lin Gaofeng and Ye Zhengyang, who were watching from the side, could tell she was giving it her all.
"This kid is finished!"
"That's right, Senior Sister Kang is among the strongest in our Taekwondo team, her power is not inferior to the male athletes. A full-strength blow would result in a Grade 10 concussion..."
Those boys and girls sneered, but in the next second, their jaws dropped in astonishment.
*Pa!*
Again, the sound of flesh meeting flesh. Wan Yunting raised his right hand, just as before, and easily blocked Kang Nuolan's full-strength attack. His posture remained stable as a pine tree, unmoving.
"How is that possible!"
Ye Zhengyang and the others exclaimed, dumbfounded.
Kang Nuolan retreated a few steps, her almond eyes widening in shock as she looked at the smiling Wan Yunting. Her heart trembled.
The person before her seemed like a towering mountain she couldn't surmount. Her confidence seemed to shatter bit by bit, her emotions gradually losing control.
"Again!"
Unwilling to admit defeat, Kang Nuolan's eyes were sharp. Biting her pearl-white teeth, she attacked Wan Yunting again.
*Pa pa pa...*
The sound of flesh hitting flesh. In ten seconds, she unleashed twenty kicks. The result was Wan Yunting standing firm as an old dog, completely unmoving. Facing Kang Nuolan's constantly kicking beautiful legs, a faint scent of sweat wafted over.
"Mmm! So invigorating..."
However, Ye Zhengyang, Yang Siyu, and the other students watched this scene with gaping mouths. Lin Gaofeng was also astonished. Although this young lady was female, she was still a fifth-dan Taekwondo master. Facing her full-strength ferocious attacks, Wan Yunting's astonishing performance stunned him.
"Alright, that's enough."
Facing Kang Nuolan's continuous attacks, Wan Yunting felt a little helpless. He had only intended to give Kang Hongwen's daughter some pointers, but instead, he had inadvertently provoked her proud self-esteem, and it had gotten out of hand.
Seeing that she still hadn't stopped, Wan Yunting realized there was no other way and decided to fight back. He lightly slapped her chest with his palm amidst her many opening in her moves...
"Mmm! So elastic..."
"Nuolan..."
Watching Kang Nuolan fly backward and crash heavily onto the ground, Lin Gaofeng, Ye Zhengyang, and Yang Siyu exclaimed and rushed over.
"Let's go together."
Ye Zhengyang was completely enraged. He called out to the others to attack Wan Yunting together.
*Pa pa pa...*
"Ah... Aiya..."
In less than a minute, Ye Zhengyang, Yang Siyu, and the other six lay on the ground, their movements ungraceful, howling in pain. Kang Nuolan was stunned, her pretty face blank, unable to recover for a long time.
"Dr. Wan, you might have gone a bit too far," Lin Gaofeng said with a helpless expression, unsure of what to say.
Wan Yunting chuckled awkwardly to cover his embarrassment. "President Kang should be back by now. We should go back for dinner."
Saying this, the young man trotted out. Looking at Ye Zhengyang and Yang Siyu sprawled on the ground, groaning in pain, Lin Gaofeng reluctantly got up and followed him out. Kang Nuolan, who had just come to her senses, asked, "Who is he?"
Lin Gaofeng turned to look at her. "He's Dr. Wan, the physician who treated your grandmother's illness not long ago. Your father invited him to our home for dinner today."
"Physician?"
Kang Nuolan was stunned. She replayed Wan Yunting's words from earlier in her mind, how he had continuously pointed out her flaws...
"Alas, I've caused trouble."
Wan Yunting, who had come out, felt a bit regretful. He wished he had just chatted with the old lady and not gone to watch the excitement in the back, let alone hit Kang Hongwen's daughter.
If she were to complain to Kang Hongwen later, how awkward would he be.
"Never mind, I should hurry back to work."
As Wan Yunting spoke, he intended to leave, but Kang Hongwen returned and met him. "Xiao Wan, come back quickly, dinner is ready."
"This..."
Wan Yunting's face was full of embarrassment. Kang Hongwen asked, "What's wrong?"
"Oh, nothing."
Kang Hongwen walked up and patted his shoulder. "Let's go. The dishes are ready, and you'll have a couple of drinks with me later."
Unable to escape, Wan Yunting was led by Kang Hongwen back to the villa's grand living room. They entered the luxurious dining room. Various famous paintings hung on the walls, and the oversized round table was made of rosewood, with exquisite carvings, indicating its considerable price.
On the dining table, various dishes were already laid out, all appealing in color, aroma, and taste. It was evident that Kang Hongwen disliked foreign things; he even opposed his daughter learning Taekwondo.
"Xiao Wan, please sit down and eat..."
The old lady had already taken her seat. Kang Hongwen politely invited him to sit first. Wan Yunting had no choice but to sit down. Then, Lin Gaofeng walked back. The old lady asked, "Where is Nuolan? Why isn't she out for dinner yet? Doesn't she know we have an honored guest today?"
"Grandma, I'm here."
Returning to her room, Kang Nuolan changed into a blue dress. As her long hair was let down, she exuded a pure yet proud beauty, captivating like an orchid.
"This is Dr. Wan. Thanks to him, Grandma's illness was cured," the old lady said, pulling her granddaughter and introducing Wan Yunting.
Looking at Kang Nuolan's indifferent gaze, Wan Yunting averted his eyes slightly and touched his nose sheepishly.
"Xiao Lin, go to the wine cellar and get me two bottles of my vintage Maotai. I want to have a good drink with Xiao Wan," Kang Hongwen called out. Lin Gaofeng nodded and immediately went to the wine cellar to fetch the wine.
Servants began to serve soup and rice to Wan Yunting and the others. The old lady and Kang Hongwen were very enthusiastic in inviting Wan Yunting to eat, while Kang Nuolan, sitting beside the old lady, remained expressionless. Suddenly, she looked up, her resilient eyes fixing directly on Wan Yunting, and said, "Can you teach me martial arts?"
Wan Yunting was taken aback and looked up at her.
The old lady and Kang Hongwen were also surprised and turned to look at Kang Nuolan.
"I want to take you as my master!" Kang Nuolan said very seriously.
However, Kang Hongwen and the old lady wore looks of confusion and turned to Wan Yunting, as if asking, "What did you do to my daughter?"
"I apologize for being a bit rough earlier," Wan Yunting thought the girl's mind was muddled from being beaten.
"Please take me as your disciple!" Kang Nuolan stood up and directly bowed ninety degrees to Wan Yunting, who was sitting opposite her.
...Wan Yunting was filled with embarrassment, thinking, "This has gone too far."
Especially as Kang Nuolan bent over, her V-neckline dipped, revealing her cleavage. Wan Yunting, who was taking a sip of soup, almost spat it out. He quickly covered his mouth and waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, please get up first..."
Kang Hongwen, completely unaware of what was happening, asked, "Xiao Wan, what exactly is going on?"
Wan Yunting looked up at Kang Nuolan, who was still bowing, and his eyes couldn't help but glance down her neckline again... His face was full of embarrassment and a bitter smile. "We were sparring in the gym in the back earlier."
"Martial arts? You've practiced martial arts?" Kang Hongwen asked in surprise.
Wan Yunting nodded. "I learned some basic skills from an old master in prison. It's not worth mentioning..."
"Are you being modest?" Kang Hongwen gave him a suspicious glance.
Knowing his daughter's inherently proud nature, Kang Hongwen understood that for her to humble herself and ask someone to be her master meant Wan Yunting had undoubtedly conquered her in martial arts. Otherwise, Kang Nuolan wouldn't be like this.
Seeing his daughter still bowing, as if she wouldn't stand up if he didn't agree, Kang Hongwen smiled and said, "Xiao Wan, since you know martial arts, why don't you give her some pointers? It's better than her practicing those foreign things all day, which look good but are useless, just fancy routines."
Hearing Kang Hongwen say this, Wan Yunting had no choice but to nod. "There's no need for formal discipleship, but I can offer guidance."
He had no choice. If Kang Nuolan didn't stand up soon, he would start bleeding from the nose.
"Thank you."
Kang Nuolan said sincerely before straightening up.
"Alright, let's sit down and eat."
Seeing Lin Gaofeng bring the wine, Kang Hongwen asked his daughter to sit down and eat. He then began drinking with Wan Yunting...
