Chapter 128

In the first half of the day, Zhou Xiong passed on some basic Taichi knowledge to Wang Yao. During the process, Wang Yao's learning ability surprised him. Wang Yao was amazingly talented. Within the morning, Wang Yao was able to remember the Taichi defensive and attacking postures, and most importantly he demonstrated an understanding of Taichi's profound meaning. Taichi was known to be easy to learn but difficult to master and had a focus on substance over form.

"You have an amazing talent!" Zhou Xiong praised. "If you were to learn martial arts, you could become a master!"

Close to noon, Zhou Xiong and his son departed. Wang Yao insisted that they stay for a meal, but they refused.

In the afternoon, Wang Yao practiced Taichi on the hill.

It may have been that the meaning behind Taichi was similar to the scriptures he had been reciting, his practicing was easier, and his progress was swift. He was elated by this.

During the night, while Wang Yao was having dinner, he received a call from Tian Yuantu asking if he was free the next day. Tian Yuantu wanted him to make a trip to Dao City as he had arranged for a meeting with his friend. Wang Yao thought about it and decided to accept his request since he did not have anything important to do that day. He was okay to walk around and take a look.

After dinner, he told his parents about his trip to Dao City and that he might not be able to return within the day. Therefore, he requested their help to take care of his herbal field. He also told Zhou Xiong in case he made a trip to the hill when Wang Yao was not around.

The next day, when Wang Yao had just completed his breathing exercises and was about to start practicing his newly learned Taichi moves from Zhou Xiong, Tian Yuantu arrived. He was quite early. Wang Yao heard his dog's barks and saw a person heading up the hill. He halted his practice and made his way downhill.

Wang Yao told his family that he was leaving and got in Tian Yuantu's car to make their way to Dao City.

Dao City's distance from Lianshan County was not far—around a three hours' journey by car. By the time they reached, it was close to noon.

This was the province's prosperous city, second to none and was also the country's outstanding first-tier city. Traffic was busy, and skyscrapers were numerous. It was not a place that Lianshan county or Haiqu City could compare to.

"Shall we find a place to eat?" in the car, Tian Yuantu asked.

"Sure."

Tian Yuantu was familiar with this city. Due to business reasons, he would visit this city a few times a month. He was, therefore, familiar with where to have meals. He took Wang Yao to a famous seafood place. It was noontime, and the place was crowded. Finding parking was also very difficult.

The seafood was substantial and tasty, but the price was a bit expensive. It was still acceptable, however. The exceedingly good business was to be expected.

After their meal, Tian Yuantu contacted his friend and then left with Wang Yao after settling the bill.

The arranged venue was at a holiday resort that was located by the sea. The resort's architectural style was outstanding. When they arrived at the venue, there was already someone waiting for them. This person knew Tian Yuantu and came forward to greet him. He showed them the way to the hotel's most luxurious room. In there, Wang Yao saw the friend that Tian Yuantu talked about. It was a middle-aged man; he had a medium build, square-jaw, tanned face and small eyes which showed great vitality. His name was Sun Zhengrong.

"Esteemed guest, you've come a long way. My apologies." Sun Zhengrong's speech was slow, and his voice was deep.

"Hello, Chairman Sun. This is Wang Yao," Tian Yuantu introduced the two of them.
