our secret base

Chapter 39 The Master's Secret Base

"I thought about what we could do next!"

"……what?"

"Look, Yuzhi hasn't got the ability yet, and my sacrificial ability is more for assistance, that is to say, if we encounter any danger, we can only rely on Jing Xing now, right?"

"That's right..."

Yan Jingxing nodded.

Not to mention anything else, as the only boy among the three, he has gained the status of "warrior" again, and he is already mentally prepared to deal with battle at any time.

"I see……!"

Xie Yuzhi's eyes also lit up.

"This matter is indeed very important. The reason why we decided to find the 'body' first was for the same reason. We should first find a way to help Jing Xing discover his own abilities."

Her gaze turned to the boy.

"Do you have an idea?"

"Um……"

Yan Jingxing held his chin and began to think.After a while, meeting the expectant eyes of the girls, he slowly opened his mouth and said:

"Yuzhi said before that a 'warrior' is a person who uses a weapon. This incident gave me inspiration. Finding the missing 'element' seems to be a distant goal, but it doesn't mean I can't use other weapons." weapon."

"Oh?"

Miss Xie nodded in satisfaction.

"Indeed, weapons! This is a very good idea, so what kind of weapons do you think you need? I will help prepare them. In addition to the fact that guns may be difficult to obtain, ordinary controlled knives are also available."

……

Wait, wait a minute, miss, did you say something strange just now?
"No, not to that extent..."

Yan Jingxing quickly shook his head.

"I have considered this matter carefully. I am still in adolescence, my body has not yet fully developed, and my physical fitness has not been strengthened by the ability itself."

He swung his fist forward quickly, making a "whoosh" sound.

"It is difficult to gain an advantage in close combat with an opponent, and it is very dangerous. I think throwing weapons are more suitable for me."

Xie Yuzhi frowned and thought for a moment, then she seemed to have found the answer she wanted, stretched her brows, and said to Yan Jingxing:
"Then, I'll take you to meet someone."

*
The person Xie Yuzhi was talking about, in fact, they all know, is the driver of the eldest lady's family, a man named Liu Tie.

According to Yuzhi, it was the driver and bodyguard sent by her father to protect her after she left home alone.

Liu Tie is a retired soldier. He also worked as a Sanda coach in the Kung Fu gym in the city. He is quite famous in the boxing circle.

"I thought about it, and I think it's better for professionals to do this kind of thing."

Xie Yuzhi explained.

"Makes sense."

So they sat in the hall and waited. After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and Liu Tie finally came.

"You have something to do with me?"

The man's gaze passed Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao's faces calmly, as if wondering where they came from.

"Yes."

Xie Yuzhi replied.

"I hope you can provide some advice on which weapon is suitable for him, and I will help prepare."

As she spoke, she pointed to Yan Jingxing.

"……arms?"

Looking at Yan Jingxing's too young face, Liu Tie couldn't help laughing.

"Is this your classmate? Is he still a junior high school student?"

"of course."

"For junior high school students, are there occasions when weapons are needed? I think if you really need help, it's better not to think about doing it yourself first. It's better to discuss it with teachers and parents first. If things are too difficult, there is still time to call the police."

"You don't have to think about this topic."

Xie Yuzhi's tone was calm.

"My friend is used to solving problems by himself. He is very good and can handle it alone."

Yan Jingxing felt a little complicated when he heard her introduce himself so solemnly.

He had no choice but to try his best to hold his expression tight, put on a serious look, and tried to play the attitude that a mysterious master with high skill and strength should have in his imagination.

If he was older, maybe he could really try to play the cold-faced cool guy with a mysterious past; but the problem is that Yan Jingxing is too young, so no adults will take it seriously.

Naturally, Liu Tie wouldn't either.In his opinion, this kind of thing is more like playing house with children, so he couldn't help laughing and shook his head.

It seems that although the eldest lady's behavior style is more mature than her peers, she is still just a child after all.

"Okay, I understand."

Liu Tie nodded, he had no reason to refuse, and there was no way to refuse.

Xie Yuzhi is the only daughter of the boss of Jianyan Group, and the boss takes her very seriously as only one child. It is no exaggeration to say that this girl is the princess of the entire group.

In other words, no matter how nonsense she is, Liu Tie can only bite the bullet and accompany her.

Fortunately, Xie Yuzhi is not a second generation with an eccentric personality and hard to please. On the contrary, as a junior high school student, she can be said to be too sensible.Liu Tie often feels lucky for this.

As for her two friends...

Liu Tie looked at Yan Jingxing and Ji Chunzao once again, and thought about it.

"Everyone, let's go to the right place first, there is nothing usable here."

He smiled and pointed behind him with a thumbs up.

"Come on, get in the car."

*
Cars raced through the night.

The scenery of the road along the way was reflected in the window and passed in his vision.

Yan Jingxing, who was sitting in the back row, finally couldn't help but asked:
"Uncle Liu, where are we going?"

"Well...it's my secret base."

"Secret base?" Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment, the word sounded very familiar, "It sounds like a place where children play..."

"Haha!" Liu Tie replied with a big laugh, "Everyone wants to hide things that they don't want to show to the outside world, so some adults also have their own secret bases."

"Is that the boxing gym?"

Xie Yuzhi seemed to have remembered something.

"That's right. The boxing gym was almost closed because it couldn't recruit students. Later, I invested a sum of money to keep it. Anyway, no one goes to remote places, so I use it to store things and entertain guests. Now, it’s a gathering place for nearby fighting fans.”

As he spoke, he slammed the steering wheel and let the car drive into a small road.

After arriving at the place, Yan Jingxing could finally understand why the boxing gym Liu Tiekou was talking about couldn't continue.

Even a student like him who has never been in society can see how strange it is to open a boxing gym in such a suburban place close to a village.

Will anyone really come?
Seemingly noticing his doubts, Liu Tie explained with a smile:
"The person who runs this boxing gym was originally born in the village. Later, he traveled far away and returned to his hometown when he was old. Those who would come here in the past are basically his disciples and grandchildren, who are related to the village. Acquaintances. It’s just that in recent years, the young people in the village have gone to the city to work, and the number of people coming has naturally decreased..."

Everyone walks up the stairs.There are still people in the boxing gym at the moment, and there is a faint yellow light from the gap in the big red wooden door. When you get closer, you can still hear the sound of shouting and "bang bang bang" fierce fighting from inside.

As soon as Liu Tie opened the door and went in, several sweaty men in protective gear turned their heads and greeted him warmly when they saw him.

"Hello, brother!"

"Hello, brother!"

While saying hello, they also noticed that there were three young men following behind Liu Tie, and subconsciously took a few extra glances.

The two little girls are born beauties, cute and easy to attract attention.In particular, Xie Yuzhi was still wearing the dress that she hadn't changed in time, which seemed out of place with this dilapidated boxing gym.

"All good, all good." Liu Tie waved his hands with a smile, "You guys practice, I'll bring the guests over to have a look."

He led the young men to a door deep in the gym.After opening it, you can see that there is a warehouse at the end, which is full of various equipment and tools, and there are several iron shelves stacked up.

"I have useful self-defense tools here, you all have to take a look. But some things may be more dangerous, if you want to use them, I will keep an eye on them..."

While Liu Tie was introducing, Yan Jingxing turned around and looked at the figures who were training fiercely in the hall not far behind him.

His gaze first fell on everyone in turn, and finally, he landed on one of the sandbags that no one cared about.

He stared at it, and began to visualize punching the bag and shaking it violently.

The boy's fists were clenched unconsciously, his mind was clear, as if he only had one target left in his eyes; at the same time, Yan Jingxing could feel the muscles all over his body tense, like a The mechanical device on the stage to wind up the clockwork and adjust the gears is in urgent need of attack.

At this moment, Miss Xie beside him seemed to notice his strangeness, tugged at his sleeve, and asked in a low voice.

"what happened to you?"

"……nothing."

Yan Jingxing let out a breath and withdrew from the strange state just now.

"You just activated 'Warrior's Instinct'?"

Xie Yuzhi stared at the top of his head, there was white heat coming out.

"That's right. I wanted to see if it would work on dead objects, and it turned out to be really useful."

"Really? That's very convenient."

After thinking for a moment, Miss Xie suddenly suggested:

"By the way, do you want to try using the ability of 'warrior' against Uncle Liu Tie?"

"Ah?" Yan Jingxing was stunned for a moment, "Forget it, I'm an adult."

……

While they were whispering, Liu Tie's eyes quietly fell on the boy, and he carefully observed the boy's appearance.

Well, in good health, neither fat nor thin... but not particularly strong, and there are no obvious traces of training.

What aspect does the eldest lady refer to by "powerful"?
Junior high school students are still in the development stage. Unless they are really talented, it is hard to say how good their physical fitness is compared to adults, let alone compared to someone who has received special training like him.

Now, Liu Tie fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about one thing, which was a... small "mission" given to him by his boss.

He was sent by Xie Yuzhi's father to protect her, but when he said "protect", it also meant "to watch".

After all, Xie Yuzhi is a very assertive person. The 14-year-old girl is willing to live alone away from her family, but her father is afraid that she will be affected badly in school, so he asked him to keep an eye on her.

During this period of time, the eldest lady made two very good friends in the same grade, and the relationship heated up very quickly, and they got tired of being together almost every day--Liu Tie naturally knew about such news, and he also witnessed it with his own eyes.

One is a little girl with a lively personality, which is okay to say, but the other is a boy, and there may be a risk of making the young lady "go astray".

After Liu Tie reported the situation to the boss, Xie Yuzhi's father's instructions were:
——"Let that kid pay attention."

The boss didn't mean to "beat the mandarin ducks with sticks", probably because he felt that the eldest lady had made friends with great difficulty, and if he forcefully drove her away, Xie Yuzhi, who had a strong personality, might turn against her.

But the phrase "be careful" is tricky.How much is "attention"?How should we grasp the proportion?

All in all, the problem was thrown to Liu Tie, a subordinate.

He felt a little troubled.It seems that the relationship between the young people is really close, maybe this kid may become the eldest lady in the future...

No, you can't think like this, Liu Tie shook his head subconsciously, they are still children, the future is uncertain.

But at least now, he knew that Xie Yuzhi really valued this friend of the opposite sex.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to deliberately provoke or hurt the other party, otherwise Xie Yuzhi will definitely hate him.

Could it be that the boss can't afford it, but the eldest lady can?In the end, the unlucky ones will only be wage earners like him.

Liu Tie wanted to sigh.

But there is no way, the boss has let go after all, he can't just do nothing.

When he heard the young lady suggested to let the boy try his hand with himself, although he thought it was absurd, and with his character, he couldn't do the thing of "bullying the small"-but then Liu Tie had an idea, Found that this is indeed a good opportunity.

The most important thing is that I don't talk about my face anymore, which shows that I have really worked hard, and I am not sorry for the boss's entrustment, right?
Thinking of this, Liu Tie no longer hesitated, coughed pretendingly, and hurried to them.

"I heard that the eldest lady said that you are very powerful. I am really curious. Little brother, do you want to have a game?"

...It's a shame that you said such things to a junior high school student.Yan Jingxing complained in his heart, but at the same time shook his head and refused, turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey, it's okay, let's learn from each other!"

While speaking, Liu Tie showed a kind smile, opened his big hands full of calluses and veins, and grabbed Yan Jingxing's arm.

The speed of this grasping seems normal, but it actually shows the kung fu, and it takes someone with some eyesight to see through it.

Ordinary people will only feel that the opponent's hand is approaching them. They can clearly see the process, but when they shake God's arms, they are firmly bound and it is difficult to break free.

What's more, since the kid still has his back facing him now, it's even more impossible to miss.

As long as he can catch it and use some grappling skills, he can make this boy obediently follow him to the stage.

Of course, he won't do it seriously.For him, controlling an unarmed junior high school student is really not difficult.

And Liu Tie's intention was nothing more than to make this young man lose face in front of the two girls.

This is not a setback in itself, but as a man, Liu Tie knows very well: the younger he is, the more he likes to be brave in front of the opposite sex, because he also came from this age.

Junior high school students are in the most sensitive period of self-esteem, and it is enough to leave a deep enough impression on him.The other party also knew that he was the driver of the eldest lady. As long as he was a little smarter, he would naturally know how to keep a distance.

but……

He stretched out his hand, but it was empty.

"what?"

Liu Tie was a little surprised, looking at Yan Jingxing who suddenly turned his waist and shoulders at a critical moment to avoid this attack.

The boy who turned around silently watched the man's hand stretched in mid-air.The calm but focused gaze made Liu Tie a little uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Yan Jingxing lowered his eyebrows and replied softly:

"Okay, then ask uncle to teach me a few hands."
