Chapter 1995: The Meng Family Martial Arts Arena

The martial arts arena was bustling at the moment, with many escorts diligently exercising.

In the center of the arena, Meng Xiaoshu was wielding a long spear and sparring with someone. He became increasingly fierce as they fought, and Tao Shi, watching from below, grew anxious. "Alright, alright, you've just recovered from your injury. Take a break for now."

"I have no problems at all," Meng Xiaoshu insisted, stepping back and then reengaging.

One couldn't blame him for being so enthusiastic. He hadn't sparred with anyone for a long time due to his recovery. Now that the escort agency had recruited several skilled escorts, he was pleasantly surprised by the formidable skills of the person he was currently facing.

The escort sparring with him was highly skilled and solid in his techniques. As Meng Xiaoshu sparred with him, the opponent didn't give way, which impressed him greatly.

Many escorts below the martial arts platform were enthusiastically shouting in support, except for Tao Shi, who was deeply worried.

Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng arrived to witness this scene. They exchanged glances and decided to stand on the sidelines to observe.

The others were so engrossed in the spectacle that they didn't notice the newcomers.

It wasn't until Meng Xiaoshu stumbled and nearly fell off the martial arts platform that the crowd gasped in shock. When a figure leaped forward and caught him, everyone was stunned.

Meng Xiaoshu was even more surprised and, following his relief, exclaimed, "Yunzheng, you're back!"

Meng Yunzheng stood on the martial arts platform, steadying Meng Xiaoshu. He said helplessly, "Uncle, the doctor advised you to rest for half a year. You suffered not just muscle and bone injuries back then."

Tao Shi, who had been startled, hurried over and scolded Meng Xiaoshu with a slap on the back. "Exactly! What I said, you didn't listen to. Will you listen to Yunzheng's words now?"

Meng Xiaoshu was undeterred. "You guys worry too much. I just lost my balance earlier."

He was still in high spirits, and when he sensed Tao Shi was about to say more, he quickly handed the long spear to Meng Yunzheng and said, "Yunzheng, give it a try. We have many skilled escorts in our escort agency now, and their skills are outstanding. Why don't you test your skills against them?"

With that, he pushed the spear into Meng Yunzheng's hands and turned to the escort on the opposite side, saying, "Lao Qu, let my nephew spar with you."

"Nephew?" The escort looked at Meng Yunzheng and furrowed his brow slightly.

Someone in the crowd suddenly realized something. "Isn't your nephew that scholar who achieved top in the prefectural examination last year?"

"That's right!" Meng Xiaoshu said proudly.

Someone muttered, "I know that Scholar Meng is incredibly knowledgeable and learned, but putting a scholar on the martial arts platform might be too challenging for him."

"Yeah, maybe I should go instead. I can spar with Lao Qu, how about it?"

"Scholar Meng, you should come down. That spear is quite heavy. Give it to me; I can handle it."

Meng Yunzheng had a handsome appearance, and compared to the muscular escorts present, he indeed looked like a frail scholar. At least on the surface, he seemed to be a weakling.

Shu Yu recalled the first time she saw him pretending to be mute in Jiangyuan County. He appeared so weak that it aroused pity. Who would have thought that he could effortlessly scale a wall like it was a simple task?

Meng Xiaoshu was somewhat displeased. "What are you all saying? Yunzheng is no ordinary scholar; he's very capable."

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, gave the long spear a light toss, and nodded. "This spear is indeed quite heavy. I'm more accustomed to using a sword."
