CHAPTER 655: EPISODE 347 CONFRONTATION_2

Meng Yuhuai slowly glanced at him and gripped the Flower Disc Stick tighter in his hand, "If you want to chat, I can have Han Hu talk to you. Have someone else come out to face me..."

"No need, I’ll do it."

Perhaps knowing that talking further was useless at this moment, Lv Bin sighed deeply, stood still for a moment, then walked to the weapon rack under the porch and picked up a Flower Disc Stick as well.

A sudden gust of wind arose, sweeping down a large swath of branches and leaves from the trees on both sides, mixing with the rain and clattering to the ground.

Meng Yuhuai swung the Flower Disc Stick in his hand and moved slightly, immediately closing in, and the two were instantly entangled in combat.

As the saying goes, one’s martial arts style mirrors their personality. Those who are rigid and upright tend to suit a similarly fierce routine, and Meng Yuhuai was just like that.

Each of his moves radiated vigor, wide and forceful yet not lacking in agility. The Flower Disc Stick in his hands danced like a long snake, supple and agile yet strong, adhering strictly to the righteous path, boldly aiming directly for his opponent’s weaknesses.

In contrast, Lv Bin employed a completely different approach, with swift and ruthless movements. Leveraging his slightly shorter stature, he continuously darted around Meng Yuhuai’s side, dazzlingly quick.

Hua Xiaomai, purely a layman spectator, could tell this guy was also strong, but perhaps because he spent most of the time dodging, he seemed to exert more effort. Facing a tough opponent like Meng Yuhuai, it wasn’t long before his breathing became unstable, and his steps faltered.

Throughout the fight, Meng Yuhuai was in his element, his long stick swirling around him, firmly locking Lv Bin within. Soon, he had Lv Bin flustered and struggling to cope.

The two sticks continuously whirled and clashed in the rain, occasionally striking the ground with a "thud", splashing water and raising a mist.

No one spoke, nor did anyone cheer. In the entire Lianshun Escort Agency, other than the sounds of the sticks colliding, there was complete silence.

Hua Xiaomai, with sweaty palms, bit her lip and dared not move an inch, staring intently at the activity outside. Li Yingchun, perhaps out of boredom, nudged her again with his elbow and whispered, "Sister-in-law, do you understand what’s happening? Do you want me to..."

"Shut up!" Hua Xiaomai snapped in a low voice, glaring fiercely at him.

"I just wanted to tell you, it’s almost over..." Li Yingchun looked innocently at the ceiling and scratched his head.

His words were not off the mark, for almost the very next moment, Lv Bin suddenly let out a low cry, "Ah", as a long stick pressed against his throat, two inches from his neck.

The outcome was decided, Meng Yuhuai immediately pulled back and stepped away.

"Thank you for the match." He quietly uttered.

With her heart hanging in suspense for so long, Hua Xiaomai could not wait. She rushed forward, yanked the door open, and was about to step out when Meng Yuhuai, seemingly hearing the noise, immediately turned his head.

"It’s raining heavily, get inside!"

Normally, Hua Xiaomai wouldn’t have listened, she would certainly have run up to him regardless, but today, at this very moment, as she looked at Meng Yuhuai’s face, she suddenly felt it would be better to obediently obey, and carefully headed back inside.

Lv Bin was startled and unable to control himself, instinctively reached to touch his neck, annoyance flitting across his face as he glanced back at Dong Deyou.

"You..."

Dong Deyou was furiously insane, stamping his feet repeatedly, "Useless, what use are you to me?!"

"I’m giving you a month to settle your affairs."

Meng Yuhuai wasn’t interested in hearing him scold, handed the Flower Disc Stick to a junior, and frowned, "If after a month, I find you still taking on business within the boundaries of Tong’an Prefecture... don’t blame me."

After these words, he immediately turned and walked toward the front hall. Han Hu, full of satisfaction, leaped out, picked up the two men groveling on the ground, and threw them in front of Dong Deyou, "Waiting for a reward, are you? Get lost now!"

The people from Shenglong Escort Agency stood dumbfounded in the courtyard for a long time, staring in the direction of the front hall. Knowing there was no turning back, they finally left with reluctant steps.

At this moment, Li Yingchun produced two umbrellas, smiled at Hua Xiaomai: "Sister-in-law, it’s safe now, do you want to go out?"

...

In the backyard of Lianshun Escort Agency, some changes of clothes for Meng Yuhuai were always kept, as soaking in rain isn’t much for a man, but having just exerted himself in the contest with Lv Bin, and with sweat interspersed with the cold, it was no laughing matter. Zuo Jinxiang hurriedly prepared a large pot of hot water and brought it to the room for him to wash and change into dry clothes.

Hua Xiaomai had an abundance of things she wanted to discuss with him, yet she knew the escort agency was not the place for such conversations. She had to suppress her urge, didn’t even go to the backyard, but instead sat diligently in the front hall, drinking tea while waiting for him.

Meng Yuhuai was cleaned up quickly, shortly reappearing crisp and fresh. After instructing Han Hu briefly, he approached Hua Xiaomai and smilingly asked if she wanted to go home.

At this moment, he had reverted to his usual homely demeanor. Hua Xiaomai didn’t know why, but she felt somewhat dissatisfied, unable to voice more, she had to follow him to the gate.

The hired carriage was still waiting outside; the couple left together, leaving Old Black temporarily at the Escort Agency.

As soon as they stepped outside, they turned their heads and saw Dong Deyou and Lv Bin among others still lingering by the wall, mouths slightly agape, yet they remained silent.

Meng Yuhuai had no intention of dealing with them, he took Hua Xiaomai’s hand and headed towards the carriage. Hua Xiaomai followed for a few steps, then suddenly remembered something very important, she exclaimed, "Wait a moment!"

Without waiting for his response, she pulled away from his hand, walked over to Dong Deyou and Lv Bin, spat decisively at them, then quickly ran back to Meng Yuhuai’s side, smiling cheerily, "Done, I feel better now, let’s go home!"
