Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 182: Chapter 136: That’s right! He is the genius!_4

Yes, if it’s difficult to explain things when returning alone, why not bring Zhang Beixing along? Zhang Beixing is the genius who managed to figure out the Northern Sect’s Eight Pieces of Brocade just by watching videos! Taking him home, and then acting according to circumstances, could provide a shield. If all else fails, I can come clean with Zhang Beixing’s help! At the very least, having Zhang Beixing around will embolden me. He can help share some of the pressure... That’s settled then!

With this thought in mind, Chen Rourou approached Zhang Beixing and asked, ”Um, Uncle Zhang, do you have time right now?”

”Ah?” Upon hearing Chen Rourou’s words, Zhang Beixing, who had just finished his routine, was momentarily puzzled, unclear about the situation. Why has everyone been asking me if I have time today? First, it was Sophia Zhou, and now Chen Rourou. If Lin Siqi asks next, good grief, even if I did have time, they’d pester me until I had none!

”I have time. What do you need?” Zhang Beixing asked.

”Um... actually, it’s nothing much,” Chen Rourou said. ”It’s just that you’ve been teaching me for so long, Uncle Zhang, and I feel quite bad that I haven’t offered anything in return. I was thinking of inviting you over to my place.”

As she spoke, her eyes couldn’t help but stealthily glance at Zhang Beixing; she was clearly feeling guilty. After all, she was quite fearful of Zhang Beixing, and today’s invitation wasn’t genuinely heartfelt. Combining these factors, even with Chen Rourou’s strong acting skills and psychological resilience, she was somewhat struggling to keep composed.

”Visit?” Hearing Chen Rourou’s words, Zhang Beixing raised an eyebrow and let out a curious ”Hmm?”

After a moment’s thought, visiting the Chen Family doesn’t seem like a problem. I’m free right now anyway. I’ve practiced most of what I needed to. I still don’t have much insight into the new suggestions, ’Piercing Gale and Sword Intent and Blade Qi’ and ’Vital Energy Release, Harming from a Distance.’ I might as well go with Chen Rourou to the Chen Family. I can chat with Elder Chen, Chen Fenghua, and the others to see if they have any thoughts on these two matters.

Thinking this, Zhang Beixing didn’t refuse and immediately nodded. ”No problem. Shall we go now?”

”Of course! Let’s go now! I’ll call someone to pick us up!” Upon receiving Zhang Beixing’s approval, Chen Rourou was overjoyed and quickly took out her phone to contact the family driver.

「 」

Just as Chen Rourou had persuaded Zhang Beixing and was accompanying him to the Chen Family home, back at the Chen Family residence, in the guest hall, Elder Chen was holding the smartphone Chen Fenghua had handed him.

The phone was playing a video of Zhang Beixing performing the Hidden Force version of the Northern Sect’s Eight Pieces of Brocade in a small grove. After watching the video, Elder Chen’s brows furrowed slightly. Then, following Chen Fenghua’s directions, Elder Chen also watched the audio-video recording from the comment section, posted by a Shi University alumnus.

His brows furrowed even more.

He looked at Chen Fenghua and asked, ”Fenghua, what do you think after watching these two videos?”

”Me? Dad, I just think these two videos are too fake, too distorted,” Chen Fenghua said. ”Brother Zhang’s Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade is indeed well-performed, but that sound... it’s hard to describe!”

Perhaps to outsiders, these two videos of Zhang Beixing might seem quite interesting. The sounds of a tiger’s roar, rolling thunder, and flowing rivers were incredibly realistic, just like the real thing. But to those who practice martial arts, Zhang Beixing’s videos seemed too far-fetched!

Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound isn’t supposed to be like that! Even though its name includes the words ’tiger,’ ’leopard,’ and ’thunder,’ that doesn’t mean one has to produce the sound of a tiger’s roar and rolling thunder while practicing the moves! If the requirements were so strict, then no one in the world could achieve Tiger Roar and Rolling Thunder! Those sounds are simply not something a human can produce!

Thus, after watching the video, the Chen family members didn’t take it at face value as netizens did. Instead, with their preconceived notions, they compared the Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound Elder Chen had described with what Zhang Beixing demonstrated. They remained skeptical, believing the sounds in his video were merely produced using special effects. Our Chen Family’s heritage is authentic; we aren’t as easily fooled as those netizens! Hmph!

”Indeed, I think the same way,” Elder Chen said. ”By the way, Fenghua, did Rourou ever mention this to you before?”

Upon suddenly hearing Chen Rourou’s name, Chen Fenghua was slightly startled. He let out a soft ”Huh?” and asked, ”Dad, what does this have to do with Rourou?”

”How can it not be related? You know as well as I do that Rourou is self-taught and mastered our Chen Family’s Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade. But now, not only has Rourou mastered it, but even young nephew Zhang Beixing has learned it. And nobody from our Chen Family taught him! The only Chen Family member he usually interacts with is Rourou. So, who do you think he could have learned the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade from?” As he spoke, Elder Chen looked at Chen Fenghua, his meaning unmistakable.

Hearing this, Chen Fenghua subconsciously responded, ”Is... it Rourou? But that shouldn’t be. As a member of our Chen Family, she should know that the Northern Sect Eight Pieces of Brocade is our family’s exclusive Ultimate Skill, not to be taught to outsiders. Unless... Oh! Father, I suddenly understand why you brought up Rourou! You mean, Brother Zhang and Rourou are together, and that’s why she taught it to him?”
