53 Becoming a Disciple
Jiang Yi and Lu You, who had been saved, were dumbfounded. The two of them were here to save the damsel in distress, but in the end, they were saved by the damsel. They were devastated.
Of course, the most devastating thing was that Gu Man’s combat strength was too terrifying!
There were more than ten men, and they were all burly men who were fooling around in society. Gu Man, with her small arms and legs, actually defeated them effortlessly.
Without a certain amount of effort, it was definitely impossible.
When Gu Man patted her hands and left, Jiang Yi and Lu You looked at each other and limped behind her.
“What kind of kung fu is that?” Jiang Yi was too shocked. She had only seen Gu Man’s kung fu in movies.
“Can we be your disciples?” Lu You asked eagerly.
“Be my disciple?” Gu Man’s voice was slightly higher than usual.
She had never taken in a disciple, not even in her previous life where she was even more skilled.
“Yes, we want to learn real kung fu!” Jiang Yi was very determined.
“I’m not taking disciples. If you want to learn, go to the martial arts school!” Gu Man’s att.i.tude was also very firm. She was not taking disciples.
“I’ve been to the martial arts school. What I learned there is all superficial. Even if I learn it well, it’s just superficial!” Jiang Yi was very anxious when he saw Gu Man’s determined att.i.tude.
“I’ve said that I’m not accepting and I won’t.” Gu Man made it clear!
She was not used to having too much to do with others, even if they were master and disciple, even if these two fellows had just wanted to save her.
“What are your conditions? I’ll definitely agree.” Lu You was very practical. He thought that Gu Man was unwilling to accept them because their conditions were not good enough.
Gu Man looked at the two of them and said seriously, “I’m very grateful for your kindness in saving me just now, but rejection is rejection. There are no conditions. There’s no need for any reason.”
Looking at Gu Man’s overly serious face, Jiang Yi and Lu You were discouraged.
At the same time, they realized that Gu Man was very different from the other students. She had a mysterious aura and a strange personality. It was as if she kept a certain distance from everyone, as if no one could really get close to her.
“You’re injured. Let me take a look.” Gu Man looked at their listless faces and couldn’t bear to look at them. She should at least help them take a look at their injuries. After all, they had become like this for her.
“We’re fine. No…” Before Jiang Yi could finish speaking, Gu Man grabbed his injured hand and pinched it a few times. The sound of bones cracking was accompanied by pain.
“Alright, move slightly.”
Jiang Yi followed Gu Man’s words and gently shook his immobile hand. He realized that he could really move.
“It’s recovered. You’re too amazing. You even know how to set broken bones!” Jiang Yi admired Gu Man even more.
However, Gu Man did not care about such flattering words. She lowered her head to look at Lu You’s leg.
The injury from the kick was serious, and his calf was already covered with a black bruise.
Gu Man took out a small cloth bag from her bag. After opening it, they realized that it was a row of silver needles.
Lu You was a little frightened. Was she going to give him acupuncture?
He couldn’t help but want to pull his leg back, but when he saw Gu Man pursing her lips and looking serious and calm, he stopped.
Gu Man’s fingers flew and a few silver needles poked into the dark bruise.
Gu Man twisted the silver needle gently. Black blood flowed out. She only removed the silver needles after a few minutes.
She said to Lu You, “You’ll be able to walk fine now, but you still need to pay attention.” Then, she pointed at a certain acupuncture point on his leg. “Ma.s.sage here more often.”
Lu You took note of it, “Okay, thank you!”
“Don’t follow me in the future. I don’t need your protection, understand?” Gu Man didn’t want to owe them any more favors. In fact, they had gotten in her way this time.
“Okay,” Jiang Yi and Lu You said helplessly.
They had already realized that they were indeed unable to protect Gu Man and would instead drag her down. The scene just now was the best proof.
“Thank you for just now!” Gu Man thanked them again. The two of them were indeed brave just now. It was rare for there to be such young people in this world who would risk their lives. This was also the reason why Gu Man had always tolerated them. They were kind-hearted and righteous.
“Also, don’t tell anyone about me,” Gu Man instructed seriously.
“We know,” they promised.
Jiang Yi thought to himself, If word got out, it would only cause more trouble for Gu Man. Besides, if he told anyone that a high school girl has unbelievably exquisite kung fu and knows acupuncture and bone setting. Would anyone believe it?
