Peng Lianhu went over and stood in front of Huang Rong blocking her way, saying, "Please wait a moment lady. Let me also break off some blossoms for you." His right hand moved to execute a holding lock, grabbing her wrist, extending his five fingers towards her side, then suddenly flipping his hand to a claw and striking at her throat!
Huang Rong initially intended to pretend to be a simple lady with no martial abilities and not that bright so that play for time and find a way to escape. She didn't expect that Peng Lianhu not only had great martial ability but that he was very sharp and saw right through her deception. His blow was so strong that she had no alternative but to dodge, raising her right hand in a sweep, thumb touching index finger, the remaining fingers outstretched, as if like an orchid shooting out. Her execution of this move was not only of the highest skill but also exquisitely beautiful.
(Note things are a little hard to figure out here after!) Peng Lianhu knew that if she landed her strike on his "Corner Pool" acupoint then his whole arm would become numb and useless so he was forced to suddenly change his strike to avaoid her counter strike. He was shocked that not only did this very young lady have such outstanding skill and speed, but that she also knew such secret acupoint gongfu. Although he had seen many types of gongfu in his time, he had never seen this "Orchid touch acupoint" style before.
This "Orchid style" relies upon speed, accuracy, surprise and purity. Of these "purity" was the most important. It requires graceful execution and easy and relaxed manner to execute properly, as if the the person using it had not a care in the world. If it was executed with too much urgency or viciousness then it would lose it's advantage in a fight.
As Huang Rong executed the "Orchid style" everyone else washed in astonishment. Peng Lianhu laughed, "Little girl, what is your good name please? Who is your honourable master?"
Huang Rong smiled and replied, "This sprig of plum blossoms is quite pretty is it not? I must go and put it into a vase!" She didn't answer Peng Lianhu at all. Everyone else looked at her suspiciously wondering where on earth she came from.
Hou Tonghai said sternly, "Elder Peng asked your name. What's the matter, didn't you hear?"
Huang Rong asked innocently, "He asked something?"
Peng Lianhu actually saw Huang Rong earlier during the day (in disguise) making fun of Hou Tonghai, now seeing her here again, acting so impertinently, he suddenly thought, "That filthy beggar boy is actually you in disguise!" Suppressing a laugh he said, "Elder Peng, don't you recognize who that girl is?"
Hou Tonghai was shocked. He looked Huang Rong over a couple of times while Peng Lianhu said, "You were chasing someone all day today around in circles, how could you forget?"
Hou Tonghai again looked at Huang Rong blankly until at last he recognized her, "Yeah, that filthy boy!" When he was chasing Huang Rong, he never stopped cursing her as, "Filthy boy," however even though "he" had now become a "she" he couldn't help but curse her as before. He raised both fists and charged her, but only grasped some air as Huang Rong deftly dodged aside.
