Becoming a life winner from infancy

Meng Xing's bone fracture had not yet healed, and he was still in a period of recovery, but now was the moment of crisis for the very survival of the Martial Arts Hall. Seeing his sister turn the place into such a mess, Meng Xing had no intention of quietly continuing his recovery.

Meng Xing's leg was still wrapped in a bandage, and he still needed to use a crutch to walk, but within the walls of the Martial Arts Hall, he remained an authoritative figure whose word was law, and the several coaches were listening to him very seriously.

Seeing his usually gentle and frail sister suddenly daring to defy him today, Meng Xing was quite surprised, but at that moment, he was not in the mood to delve into this matter and simply waved his hand, saying,

"Enough... There's no time to listen to your nonsense here. I said everything to you yesterday, and I think I made myself very clear."

"I asked you to help out at the Martial Arts Hall just to follow up on the matters already arranged, not to meddle to this extent... Nevertheless, now is not the time to argue with you."

As Meng Xing spoke, he turned to one of the male coaches and said, "Chu Sheng, just give it your all in the upcoming Talent Showcase Competition. A respectable place will suffice."

"We aim to stay in the top eight and fight for the top four. If we can make it into the top four, the headquarters should recognize the coaching staff's work."

"I've already submitted the list."

Meng Qing made her stance clear, "I will represent the coaching team in this Talent Showcase Competition!"

"The list can still be withdrawn to replace participants. Although we have that child in the junior group to contend for the championship, if your performance is too poor, it will still affect the headquarters' overall assessment of us... By the way, did that child come today?"

Meng Xing pondered, "Even though there's only seven days left, with that child's talent, even a last-minute effort should yield some improvement. I will personally coach him in the coming days to ensure we secure the championship."

"Almost... almost enough! Why do you always ignore what I say?"

Meng Qing slapped the wall forcefully, drawing everyone's attention to her:

"You You is a student I coached personally, and I am the one who should be responsible for him until the end. I won't hand him over to you!"

No sooner had Meng Qing finished speaking than the meeting room door slowly opened from the outside, revealing to all.

At that moment, Fang You was leaning against the corridor wall with his arms folded across his chest, his eyes closed as he recharged, a slight smile on his lips.

"Not bad, to say such words shows that you have indeed made progress..."

Meanwhile, Fan Yuan, who helped push the door open to make his brother look good, was silently cheering for Meng Qing behind the door.

Come on, big sister Meng Qing, don't let your terrifying sister replace you in the Martial Arts Hall!

Seeing the prodigiously talented young martial artist reappear, Meng Xing immediately put on an even more stern face, trading it for what she thought was a more amiable but actually more menacing grin:

"Ah, long time no see, little friend You You!"

"I heard that you wanted to learn nunchucks from me before, right? I was injured and couldn't teach you personally, but now you can rest assured and let Teacher Meng—"

"That's not necessary now."

Fang You waggled his index finger in a gesture of refusal and then walked up to pat Meng Qing's lower back as a sign of encouragement.

"I think Sister Meng Qing has done a great job fulfilling her coaching duties. I am very satisfied with her special training guidance."

"Oooh..."

In truth, it was me who was under her strenuous guidance...

Although she had resolved to face her sister on her own, in the end, it was still You You who needed to stand up for her. Feeling somewhat ashamed but immensely grateful for Fang You's support, Meng Qing bit her lip and was close to tears.

[Meng Qing was so touched by your satisfaction that she felt very moved! Emotional Energy +100]

Fang You was now the star of the Martial Arts Hall, and Meng Xing's lifeline. Therefore, even though he was just an 8-year-old child, his words carried significant weight in the hall, and Meng Xing didn't dare to neglect him:

"You... you're talking about my sister? I know her abilities better than anyone, and to put it bluntly, whether it's theoretical knowledge or tactical skills, she's at the bottom in our martial arts hall. You You, with your talent, should be taught by a more professional coach, right?"

"How can you be sure she's at the bottom without giving it a try?"

Fang You smiled slightly, "In my eyes, right now, Sister Meng Qing's tactical skills are definitely the strongest in the Martial Arts Hall. It's only right that she represents the hall in the coaches' competition, just as it's natural for me to represent in the children's competition."

The moment he said this, not only was Meng Qing surprised, but several coaches behind Meng Xing also started laughing—

They had seen Meng Qing's abilities and had always treated her as a mere figurehead, only letting her lead some basic classes for young children. If it hadn't been for Fang You's insistence on her participation, they couldn't even imagine her competing on stage. Whispers began to spread among them:

"Although the kid's got talent, he lacks experience in judging people, and he's too influenced by looks."

"But the kid is quite handsome himself, and it's normal for children his age to like beautiful big sisters."

"I'm pretty too, so why doesn't You You like me?"

"You? Better forget it... When it comes to beauty, Meng Qing really is—"

"What do you mean by that?"

The female coach jabbed the male coach next to her hard.

As for Fang You's assertion, Meng Xing didn't choose to mock it at first; instead, he saw it as an opportunity.

Originally, if Fang You insisted on Meng Qing competing, Meng Xing would've found it difficult to refuse.

After all, the main focus of the talent showcase was on the children's performance; the coaches were just there to add luster.

But... since he had said it, it was more than a good thing for Meng Xing.

"You're saying my sister is currently the highest level in our hall, which is why she should represent the coaches in the talent showcase, right?"

"Exactly, that's what I mean."

"Then... if she were to be defeated by other coaches in our hall, it would be reasonable for us to replace her with someone else for the competition, wouldn't it, Student Fang You?"

"Yes, no problem."

Fang You nodded nonchalantly, "If Sister Meng Qing can't beat even the people from her own martial arts hall, naturally it would be difficult for her to win the championship in the coaches' division."

"Since you have so much confidence in my sister, then I think we can have a fair match to verify whether your words hold true or not, You You."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Meng Xing, "Who wants to give it a try?"

"I will, I will!"

"Master, let me have a shot too!"

The coaches all showed remarkable eagerness at the prospect of sparring with Meng Qing, eagerly raising their hands to sign up.
