Su Xuan’s punch landed squarely on Master Liu’s nose. Master Liu’s head snapped backward! He lay spread-eagled on the ground, motionless. While worried about Butler Liu, Su Xuan couldn’t help but burst out laughing. Wasn’t he supposed to be formidable in real combat? Wasn’t he supposed to be invincible? How could he go down with just a single punch? "Old Liu, are you okay?" Su Xuan squatted beside Butler Liu, asking with concern. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Butler Liu howled from the ground, though he didn’t forget to flatter Su Xuan. "Master, you are too fierce! You must be a martial arts master yourself! Your punch was so satisfying, I’m seeing stars in broad daylight..." A line of blood trickled from his nostrils. Then, he raised an arm to wipe it away and began to struggle to his feet. "Old Liu!" Seeing Butler Liu wasn’t seriously harmed, Su Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. He helped the man up, teasing, "You really scared me for a moment there. I almost carried you off to Kangnai!" "Kangnai?" Upon hearing that, Butler Liu blinked slyly. "Master, I think you really did hurt me with that punch. I might have a concussion. You should take me to Kangnai. I’ve heard the nurses there are particularly beautiful..." "Scram!" Su Xuan snapped. "Hehe!" Butler Liu rubbed his reddened nose and grinned. "Master, you’re not hurt, are you?" "What could possibly happen to me?" Su Xuan spread his hands. "You think you could reflect the damage back to me with your nose?" "Yes!" Butler Liu actually nodded seriously. "Just now, I took your punch with my nose. I could have reflected all of your force right back at you, but doing so would have surely injured you, Master. So, I only sent back ten percent and personally took the other ninety percent!" "Heh, keep blowing your own trumpet!" Su Xuan was genuinely amused by Butler Liu. He patted the old man’s lean shoulder and said earnestly, "Old Liu, everyone knows that Tai Chi is best for fitness; it’s no good in a real fight. We were just messing around. If it were a real fight, it would’ve been the end of your golden years." "Master, I’m not bragging," Butler Liu insisted, his expression dead serious. "If you don’t believe me, check your own arm. I really did return ten percent of the force to you." "Quite stubborn, aren’t you?" Su Xuan smiled and rolled up his sleeve, intending to show Butler Liu that he was completely unharmed. But the next second, his eyes narrowed in surprise. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩 A circular wrinkle slightly protruded from his skin, like ripples on the surface of water. The ripples then spread out and vanished. Afterward, a faint current seemed to pass through his body, making all his hairs stand on end. "Master, that is the ten percent of the force I returned to you," Butler Liu said, looking at Su Xuan’s arm with a smug expression. "Amazing, isn’t it?" "Indeed, it’s amazing!" Su Xuan rubbed his arm and asked in wonder, "But why did that force only spread out just now?" "This is Ruyi Tai Chi," Butler Liu said proudly. "The force spreads whenever you want it to." Perhaps thinking that wasn’t shocking enough, Butler Liu added an example. "My great-great-grandfather was quite a renowned martial arts instructor. He fought in a ring with a tall, burly foreigner. The foreigner seemed fine after taking one of my great-great-grandfather’s punches, but as soon as he got home, he spat blood and collapsed. He could never fight or act tough again for the rest of his life. How impressive is that?" "Old Liu, teach me!" Su Xuan pleaded, his eyes sparkling. He had heard stories about masters who could inflict delayed injuries. They would hit someone who seemed fine on the spot, only for that person to suddenly sustain a serious injury—or even die—later on. It was just like what Butler Liu was describing! "Master..." Butler Liu lifted a hand, rubbing his fingertips together in embarrassment. "There’s a maid in the house next door who’s taken a bit of a liking to me, and I’m quite fond of her, too. I want to buy her some clothes, but money has been a little tight recently..." Su Xuan held back a laugh. "No problem. How much is the tuition? Just name your price!" "With your intelligence, Master, it should only take three months to learn," Butler Liu said. "How about five thousand a month? Is that okay?" Su Xuan immediately picked up his phone and transferred fifteen thousand to Butler Liu. Butler Liu beamed. "Master, you don’t have to worry about me swindling you. If you finish your training and lose a fight, I will refund your money." Su Xuan waved his hand grandly. "No need for a refund. If I lose, you can go fight for me." Butler Liu grinned, showing his teeth. "Alright!" "Then I’m off to deliver packages. Teach me when I get back tonight!" With those words, Su Xuan walked toward the door. But as he crossed the threshold, he turned back. "Old Liu, how long have you been the butler in this mansion?" Butler Liu scratched his head. "I can’t remember the exact year, but I’ve seen off at least three generations of masters. You are the fourth." It seemed the past three generations of masters must have known Butler Liu was an expert, which is why they kept the old man here to watch over the house and grounds. He had inadvertently stumbled upon a treasure! And the reason he wanted to learn Butler Liu’s Ruyi Tai Chi was to increase his own combat ability, to enhance his self-defense skills! To avoid being killed if he ever met a true expert! After that, he left the house, content. Twenty or thirty minutes later, the Koenigsegg stopped at the delivery station. "Su Xuan, I thought you weren’t coming today!" The station manager, Lu Dachun, walked toward Su Xuan’s car with his hands clasped behind his back. He reached out and stroked the car’s body, his face filled with enjoyment. "I was worried you’d dock my bonus!" Su Xuan got out of the car and began to load packages onto his tricycle. "Su Xuan, notice anything different?" Lu Dachun asked, standing beside him with a mysterious air. "The area you’re covering has changed!" "Huh?" Su Xuan picked up a few packages and checked the addresses. Most were in the university town area. "After Niu Dalei left, no one was responsible for his route, so I reassigned it to you." Lu Dachun lowered his voice. "I’m looking out for you, you know. There are so many young, beautiful girls in the university town. You’ll be very happy!" "Thanks for your kindness!" Su Xuan said with a weary smile, then rode off on the tricycle. "Su Xuan, what are friends for? No need to thank me!" Lu Dachun called after his receding figure. "Just take me to Lycar for some karaoke again sometime. I miss one of the princesses there!" Twenty minutes later, Su Xuan arrived at the Golden Dream Garden residential complex. With a grunt, he lifted a large package from the tricycle—it was over a meter long, thirty centimeters wide, and weighed fifty to sixty pounds. The label on the package read: *Three-Piece Bedding Set.* "Hehe!" Su Xuan smiled slyly. Having delivered thousands, if not tens of thousands, of packages, he knew from a single touch exactly what was inside this one. It was bedding, sure, but it was definitely not a three-piece set. It was one of those... unspeakable... fun things. Shaped like a person. To be precise, like a young, beautiful girl! The texture was also quite nice! Su Xuan knocked on the door of an apartment on the thirteenth floor of Building Four. "Your wife—" he started, then quickly corrected himself. "—uh, no, your package has arrived. Please sign for it..."
