Near First High School, there is a small park.
Here, the forest is lush, and the birds are singing and flowers are fragrant. At the center, there grows a ginkgo tree that's said to be thousands of years old. From long ago, many young couples have come here annually to pray for good fortune in romance.
As we enter a new era, this place has become a famous couple's spot in Linjiang City, well-known for photo opportunities.
Xu Yuebing followed closely behind Ye Qingzhou and noticed the ginkgo tree covered with red strings and wishing plaques as soon as they entered the park.
"Did you do this on purpose? Private teaching is fine, but did it have to be in a place like this?"
"What do you mean by that? There's no other park within ten miles, and you're the one who insisted on confidentiality. This place is forested and serene. You wouldn't want to be disturbed halfway through martial arts practice, would you?"
Ye Qingzhou looked confused and at a loss. He really couldn't figure out what kind of mood this rich lady in front of him was in. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't bother teaching!
Xu Yuebing pursed her lips, glaring fiercely at Ye Qingzhou with a sharp glance.
But Ye Qingzhou didn't show a hint of guilt, his demeanor calm like a pig unafraid of boiling water, "Learn it or not, it's up to you, but I'm definitely not refunding the money."
"You! Why is your head filled with nothing but money?"
"If my family were as rich as yours, I could also be a Second Generation Cultivator, throwing money around without care and coolly showing no interest in money. Why don't you ask your dad if he needs another son?"
"!!!"
Xu Yuebing didn't respond but gave Ye Qingzhou a disdainful look, leaving him to interpret it himself.
After some verbal sparring, the face-conscious Xu Yuebing eventually conceded, obediently following Ye Qingzhou's instructions.
Even though Ye Qingzhou was shameless, he still had professional ethics. Having accepted Xu Yuebing's ten thousand yuan and promised complete teaching, he was determined to deliver on his promise.
"The first step is to start with Pile Skill training."
To help Xu Yuebing intuitively understand it, Ye Qingzhou planned to demonstrate the subtlety of it himself.
Ye Qingzhou suddenly approached Xu Yuebing abruptly, raising his right hand to hook her neck in a moon-hugging gesture.
This move startled Xu Yuebing.
Surrounded by trees and only the sound of birds, no human voices were heard. Alone with a vigorous young man, her neck was hooked in a wall-slam posture.
Is he about to kiss me forcefully?
Seeing Ye Qingzhou's face getting closer, Xu Yuebing felt her heart pounding and her whole body tensed.
Should I refuse?
But I can't beat him?
What should I do?
She tightly pursed her lips, eyes tightly shut, as if yielding to destiny's approach, unable to resist.
Ye Qingzhou seemed to sense Xu Yuebing's panic. For the sake of teaching, he promptly snapped her out of it, "What are you daydreaming about? Stop getting distracted, focus!"
Immediately, Ye Qingzhou let Dark Force emanate from his palm, pressing on Xu Yuebing's neck, then massaged down her spine, finally placing his palm on the sensitive tailbone area.
The Dark Force penetrated Xu Yuebing's tender skin through her thin school uniform, making her feel electrified, her body shivering slightly. A surge of warm energy flowed through her Eight Extraordinary Meridians, spreading to every part of her, as if her entire body was set on fire, even her blood boiling.
The whole process was astonishingly quick. As Xu Yuebing snapped back to reality, she jumped away like a startled cat, blushing with a mix of shame and anger, "Ye Qingzhou, what are you doing!"
As for Ye Qingzhou, he stopped after the last strike and now looked calm, "This move is called 'When facing an enemy, feel like burning.' I've triggered your body's potential with Dark Force. Didn't you notice your jump was surprisingly fast?"
Initially wanting to question further, Xu Yuebing paused, realizing her previous action was indeed swift and graceful. Her body reacted before her mind, moving with extraordinary fluency, akin to a nimble leopard cat.
This sensation was something she had never experienced before.
But recalling Ye Qingzhou's earlier ambiguous actions, Xu Yuebing gritted her teeth in annoyance, "Couldn't you explain with words instead of using your hands?"
Ye Qingzhou wore a bewildered expression, "Words don't leave an impression as intense as personal experience, do they?"
"You! Were you doing it on purpose or by accident?"
Xu Yuebing was both angry and annoyed, realizing her lack of strength compared to Ye Qingzhou restrained her urge to reprimand him.
"What do you mean on purpose or accident? I've taken your money, so of course, I have to do my job. If I only talked and didn't practice, and you failed to learn, you'd blame me for not teaching well. Where would I find justice then?"
Ye Qingzhou didn't care what Xu Yuebing thought now; his focus was efficiency. As long as she learned, the process didn't matter.
Though he was paid, working overtime was out of the question, even if requested by a prestigious client!
"Next, I'll teach you a stance called the Dragon Locking Posture. Locking the dragon actually means gripping your spine's dragon tight and aligning all scattered force into a single, cohesive unit."
"Listen carefully, these are all key points. A human body is like a great bow, the spine as the bow's arm and muscles as the string. Master connecting all your strength smoothly, being able to control and release it, and you're done."
Ye Qingzhou went on to meticulously guide Xu Yuebing in Pile Skill standing, "I asked you to stand still, not to be punished. Don't leave me doing all the moving; you have to move yourself too. Here... here... and here, must achieve stillness within movement, combining stillness and motion, genuinely experiencing the subtlety of energy rotation."
As he spoke, Ye Qingzhou simultaneously used his hands. He first firmly gripped Xu Yuebing's smooth shoulders, then pressed down on her soft abdomen, and finally lightly tapped her strong, elastic thigh, conveying the essentials of Pile Skill standing, continually adjusting her posture while explaining force application.
Although Ye Qingzhou taught with a serious demeanor, his eyes clear like deep pools.
Xu Yuebing, however, remained flushed, evidently experiencing such "intimate" contact with the opposite sex for the first time, rendering her mind awash with confusion.
Upon noticing this, Ye Qingzhou immediately put on a stern face, "Hey, what's up with you? I've been teaching earnestly, yet here you are spacing out. Did you catch what I said? Let me tell you, working overtime is out of the question!"
"Stop yammering, I remembered everything!"
Listening to Ye Qingzhou's slightly disdainful tone, Xu Yuebing was once again furious, clenching her dainty fists.
Meanwhile, outside the park, Sun Yanhong and Yaoo Siyu witnessed everything. Concerned about her, they had secretly followed Xu Yuebing.
To avoid alerting them, they even borrowed a drone from Lu Yifan to catch it all on film.
Through the screen, they saw Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yuebing occasionally hugging and were both surprised and thrilled, exclaiming repeatedly, "Oh my, their progress is fast, isn't it?"
"I thought Bingbing was a cool girl, slow to warm up. But she's already got caught by Ye Qingzhou?"
"Doing such things in the park, isn't it too bold of them?"
