Taihao followed the maid and walked through the winding corridors and deep courtyards of Xu Mansion, as if he had walked into a picture of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. They walked all the way out of the mansion to the bustling street market. The maid whispered to Taihao that the young lady of the Xu family often hid from the elders in the family and sneaked to the ring in the city to watch the competition obsessively.

Taihao couldn't help but be curious, so he asked the maid for the name of Miss Xu's family. The maid responded with a smile: "My young lady's name is Xu Yuan, and she is a girl with a lively personality and a love of martial arts. ”

When they came to the vicinity of the ring, they saw that the surrounding crowd of spectators was bustling, and the cheers came and went, and it was very lively. The maid looked around, trying to find Xu Yuan's figure among the visitors. Finally, in an inconspicuous corner, she saw the familiar figure - Xu Yuan was watching the competition on the stage intently, with excitement and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

The maid gently patted Taihao's shoulder and motioned for him to look into the corner. Tai Hao followed the maid's guidance and looked, only to see that Xu Yuan was wearing a light blue dress, like a blooming green lotus, which was particularly eye-catching among many visitors. Her eyes were firmly fixed on the contestants on the stage, sometimes frowning and thinking, sometimes showing a look of amazement, completely immersed in the world of this competition.

Tai Hao smiled slightly, stepped forward and said softly: "Miss Xu, the master asked you to go back and copy the "Female Commandment". ”

When Xu Yu heard this, her face suddenly changed, she turned her head and looked at Tai Hao suspiciously, and asked, "Who are you?" Do I know you? ”

Tai Hao replied politely: "In Xia Tai Hao, he is the nephew of Ling Zun Xu Tang's predecessors. ”

Xu Yuan frowned slightly, as if she was a little puzzled by this sudden stranger. She asked, "Why didn't I know that my grandfather had a nephew like you?" ”

Tai Hao explained: "I just arrived today. ”

Xu Yuan turned to the maid Cuiqin next to her and asked for verification: "Cuiqin, is what he said true?" ”

Cui Qin nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right, Miss, what he said is true." ”

Only then did Xu Yu let go of the doubts in her heart, turned to Tai Hao and asked curiously, "Why did my grandfather ask you to come to me?" ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask Miss Xu why she likes to watch them compete?" ”

Xu Yuan suddenly came to her senses, and her eyes flashed with excitement. She said, "Look how handsome they are! I think you're a lot older than me, have you ever seen a martial arts competition? ”

Taihao shook his head honestly and replied, "I rarely see it below." ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, a trace of surprise and curiosity flashed in her eyes. She went on to explain: "Then you won't understand. Look at how hard they fight, this move is not something that anyone can get into the ring. The techniques and strategies are simply breathtaking. I think martial arts is not only a competition, but also an art. You see their posture, moves, and momentum, they are all so fascinating. ”

Taihao listened to Xu Yuan's narration and couldn't help but look at her with admiration. He originally thought that Xu Yuan was just a little girl who liked to play and play, but he didn't expect her to have such a deep understanding and love for martial arts.

Tai Hao smiled slightly, and said patiently: "Uncle Ling Zunxu Tang is a martial arts master himself, isn't it more convenient and closer for you to watch his drills at home?" ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, she shook her head and laughed: "You said that my grandfather, he is indeed strong in martial arts, but I prefer the atmosphere here, where heroes and heroes from all walks of life are gathered, and there are all kinds of martial arts genres, which opened my eyes." In the ring, every warrior did his best to show his unique skills, which is not seen at home. ”

Tai Hao saw that Xu Yuan was so persistent, so he continued to persuade: "Uncle Xu Tang hopes that you will go home and become a real lady, learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and cultivate your temperament." He believes that a woman should pay attention to inner cultivation instead of indulging in occasions such as ring competitions. ”

Xu Yuan pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't want to only know qin, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long!" Do you know how many times my grandfather asked me to copy the "Female Commandment"? I have to copy it at least once a day, it's annoying! Today he even said that I should copy it a hundred times, and I would rather watch the competition here than go back and copy the book! ”

Just as the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion in the ring. A man with a meteor hammer in his hand stood majestically on the stage and shouted to the audience: "Whoever dares to come up will compete with me!" His voice was full of confidence and pride, and instantly ignited the atmosphere of the entire ring.

Seeing this, a trace of excitement and expectation flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes. She had an idea and said to Tai Hao: "It's okay if you let me go, but you have to go up and compete with him, if you can defeat him, I will willingly go home with you!" ”

Tai Hao was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Xu Yuan to make such a request. He looked at the man in the ring, and then looked at Xu Yuan's firm eyes, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart. He nodded, smiled and said, "Okay, in order for you to go home willingly, I'll go up and compete with him!" ”

Tai Hao took a firm step and walked towards the ring. His figure stood tall and tall in the sunlight, like a hero stepping onto the battlefield. When he jumped lightly on the ring, the whole ring seemed to tremble.

Taihao stood in the center of the ring, with a momentum like a rainbow. He took a deep breath, a sharp glint in his eyes. With an order, he and the man holding the meteor hammer instantly started a fierce fight.

Taihao's movements are swift and elegant, and every shot is full of power and beauty. His body is nimble and varied, sometimes attacking like a storm, sometimes dodging like flowing water. And the man holding the meteor hammer was not to be outdone, his meteor hammer drew silver trails in the air, and the power was amazing.

However, Taihao seems to be at ease. It only took him two moves to find his opponent's flaws, and a clever kick knocked the man under the ring. The whole process is as smooth as flowing clouds and dazzling to watch.

Seeing this, the audience immediately erupted in bursts of cheers. They applauded and admired Taihao's wonderful performance. Xu Yu also jumped up happily, her eyes widened, looking at Taihao's figure, her heart was full of admiration and joy.

"I didn't expect you to be so powerful!" Xu Yuan shouted excitedly, her voice full of surprise and admiration. She looked at Taihao as if she saw a whole new world, a world full of excitement and adventure. At this moment, she was deeply attracted by Taihao's martial arts.

Taihao floated down from the ring, his body was light, like a fallen leaf dancing in the wind. He walked up to Xu Yuan, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Xu, can you go back to the house with me now?" ”

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with admiration, and she smiled: "Your martial arts are really high, you knocked that man down in just two clicks, just like a legendary hero!" ”

Tai Hao shook his head modestly and said, "Miss Xu won the prize, but she was lucky enough to win one and a half moves." ”

Xu Yuan asked curiously: "What kind of martial arts are you using, so powerful." I look much more wonderful than your grandfather's martial arts! ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly, and said mysteriously: "This is my self-created martial arts, Miss Xu, let's go home." ”

When Xu Yu heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she turned to say: "Okay, since you are so powerful, then I will go back to the house with you!" ”

Although Xu Yuan was a little reluctant to leave this exciting and bloody ring, she still kept her promise. So, she embarked on the journey home with Taihao and Cuiqin.

On the way home, Xu Yuan's mood was extremely complicated. She was both excited to witness Taehao's martial arts, but also disappointed that she was about to return to the boring life of the mansion. She couldn't help but imagine how free and unrestrained she would be if she could be as strong as Taihao's martial arts!

Xu Yuan's eyes flashed with curiosity and expectation, and she smiled at Tai Hao and asked, "You call me Grandpa and Uncle, so what should I call you?" ”

Tai Hao smiled slightly and replied, "In terms of seniority, I should be regarded as your brother." ”

When Xu Yu heard this, she couldn't help but be a little surprised. She glanced at Tai Hao carefully, and then smiled: "You are more than twenty years older than me, it seems that you should be about the same age as my eldest brother." ”

"Your big brother?" Taihao frowned slightly, as if he was a little sensitive to this topic.

Xu Yuan nodded, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes. She said softly: "That's right, it's just that two years ago, he was unfortunately killed when he was competing with a man named Tu Poison Mo in the north. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, a trace of shock and anger flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Tu Poison Mo actually killed your eldest brother? ”

Xu Yuan nodded silently, then tried to squeeze out a smile and said, "Don't mention these sad things." From now on, I'll call you big brother! ”

Taihao looked at her strong smile, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pity and respect in her heart. He nodded and said gently, "Okay, whatever you call me." ”

When Xu Yu heard this, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes. She suddenly thought of something, looked at Tai Hao with anticipation, and asked, "Big brother, can you teach me martial arts?" ”

Taihao looked at her longing eyes and pondered for a moment. Then, he said solemnly: "I can teach you martial arts, but you must promise me one thing. ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, she immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, I promise you!" Whatever it is, I'll do my best! ”

Taihao looked at her determined eyes, and couldn't help but feel a trace of relief in her heart. He knows that learning martial arts is not child's play, and it requires great effort and sweat. So, he said solemnly: "Miss Xu, if you really want to learn martial arts from me, then you must promise your grandfather that you will not run outside in the future, let alone go to the ring to watch martial arts competitions." The path of martial arts requires focus and tenacity, and cannot be distracted by anything else. ”

When Xu Yuan heard this, she was slightly stunned. She understood Taihao's intentions, and she also knew that her previous willfulness and uninhibited might bring trouble to learning martial arts. So, she nodded and said seriously, "Okay, I understand." I will listen to Grandpa and your teachings, concentrate on learning martial arts, and no longer go to the ring to watch martial arts. ”

However, at this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded, and more than a dozen men came from all around, surrounding Taihao and them. These men have fierce faces and fierce momentum, and they are obviously not good.

One of the men whispered to the other: "Boss, that's right, it's him, he's definitely too hao." ”

The man known as "Boss" glanced at Taihao carefully, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Don't say it, it's really quite similar." I didn't expect this great good thing to be encountered by us, brothers, as long as we kill him, we will have the money. Let's go together! ”

As his words fell, the more than a dozen men immediately brandished their weapons and rushed towards Tai Hao. Tai Hao listened to their words and instantly understood that these people were here to kill him. He quickly set up for the battle, and his eyes revealed firmness and determination.

He turned to Xu Yuan and Cuiqin and said, "You two quickly hide behind me, these people are not good, I have to deal with them carefully." ”

When Xu Yuan and Cuiqin heard this, they immediately hid behind Taihao. They looked at those fierce men, and they couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in their hearts. However, they also know that they can only rely on Taihao to protect them at this moment.

Taihao took a deep breath, as if to inhale all the air around him into his lungs, injecting himself with a powerful force. His eyes flashed with calmness and decisiveness, as if everything was under control. He stared at the man known as "The Boss" and asked in a low and powerful voice, "Who sent you?" ”

The "boss" was named Bai Da, and replied with a cruel smile: "Taihao Daxia, don't ask, we have been looking for you on the rivers and lakes for a long time for some money." If I meet you today, you are unlucky. It's a good thing my little brother can recognize you in the ring, otherwise we would have missed it. Taihao hero, you can take your life! ”

With Bai Da's order, more than a dozen men rushed towards Taihao like hungry wolves. They were armed with all kinds of weapons, and they were menacing, as if they were about to tear Taihao to pieces. However, Taihao was not afraid at all, his body was agile, and he shuttled through the crowd like a swimming dragon. He performed the "Ranger Miracle Skill", and every shot was precise and decisive, instantly knocking those juniors who were not in the rivers and lakes to the ground.

When Taihao turned around and was about to call Xu Yuan and Cuiqin to leave, he was surprised to see that the two men had already caught them. The two men grinned, the blades in their hands gleaming in the sunlight. They threatened, "Taihao, you can either be captured, or you can watch me kill the two of them." ”

Tai Hao's heart sank suddenly, he knew that since these people dared to assassinate him, they would definitely not let Xu Yu and Cuiqin go easily. He took a deep breath and tried to calm his emotions, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. He knew that he couldn't be impulsive at the moment, and that he had to outwit them to save them.

So, he smiled slightly, and his voice revealed confidence and calmness: "Okay, I'll be caught." But you have to let them both go first. ”
