Chapter 55 Fang Duobing vs. Di Feisheng
Looking at the four pairs of eyes staring at him, Fang Duobing felt a little embarrassed: "The puppy is quite cute, and the fox spirit isn't ugly either, but they don't quite show my majestic and domineering aura."
The fox spirit seemed quite pleased with Fang Duobing's remarks, barked at him, and then went off to play by herself.
"What do you mean by majestic and domineering? Let me tell you, that style doesn't suit you. A cute puppy suits you better. Don't you think so, Li Lianhua?" Wu You gently nudged Li Lianhua's arm with his elbow.
Li Lianhua looked at the tea that was about to spill from the cup and sighed helplessly. She put the cup back on the table and echoed Wu You, saying, "I really can't imagine what you look like, so majestic and domineering."
Wu You looked at Fang Duobing smugly: "I told you I was right, right? You can't go wrong by listening to me. Just think about your handsome and cute puppy-like appearance, you're sure to attract girls."
"I don't believe you. I can accept being handsome, but forget about that puppy-like look you're talking about." Fang Duobing shuddered as he imagined himself in that scene.
"You have to trust that the eyes of the masses are discerning. Look at yourself, you're perfect for it. So what style do you want?"
"I think this foreign wolf mask is quite nice. Miss Wu, why don't you give me one too?" Fang Duobing looked at Di Feisheng beside him, clearly envious of his mask.
“Young Master Fang, you can just call me Wu You. Since you like it, you can only like it. There are only a few of these masks, no extras. This A Fei wanted a mask, so I found one for him. This little white dog mask is extra. If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it.”
"Li Lianhua, who is he? What is your relationship with him? How come he got to choose the things first?" Fang Duobing asked Li Lianhua, not recognizing Di Feisheng either.
"He's one of us, the one with the iron hood over his head, the Iron-Headed Slave. You remember?"
"Oh, Iron-Headed Slave, huh? He always seemed so aloof." Fang Duobing said knowingly. He then asked, "Hmm? When did Iron-Headed Slave become one of us?"
"His name is Afei, and he's from the South China Sea. I met him many years ago, but he fell into Master Wei's trap and was taken in as a furnace master. He was really pitiful. Since he had nowhere to go, I decided to take him in for a while."
"Aren't you going back to Baichuanyuan to tell about the Yipinfen Gepan incident? I'm also taking him to Pudu Temple to find one of his old friends."
Di Feisheng glanced at the two of them and said, "You talk too much nonsense."
Fang Duobing was furious, but he forced himself to hold back and asked in a gentle voice, "Ah Fei, do you think we should change our masks? I think this mask suits you quite well."
Ignoring the flute's sound and the illness, he continued drinking his tea.
"Hey, don't you have any manners? I'm talking to you, why don't you say something?" Fang Duobing was a little angry because Di Feisheng was ignoring him.
A squirrel perched on a large tree nearby, munching on nuts: Squeak squeak squeak.
It seems we need to set some rules for this rascal today, otherwise he might fly away in the future.
"How about this, we'll decide this mask by force. Whoever wins gets the gray wolf mask, okay?" Fang Duobing felt his martial arts skills were pretty good, and he was sure he could defeat this A Fei in front of him.
"Are you sure you want me to fight?" Di Feisheng looked up at Fang Duobing, scanning him up and down with a puzzled look, as if to say, 'Why do newbies always like to challenge experts?'
"Hey, Fei, what kind of look is that? Of course, and whoever loses gets to stay in the smallest room, understand?"
If Fang gets sick, the rooms in the Lotus Pavilion should be allocated in advance. There are four or five rooms, some for storing miscellaneous items, and only three or four that are actually habitable.
"Alright, I'll play along to the end. Don't come crying to me later." Di Feisheng really agreed with the other person's suggestion, who was often ill.
As they spoke, the two men arrived at the open space next to the Lotus Pavilion, ready to make their move.
Wu You was still wondering how many seconds it would take for Fang Duobing to give in when he heard Li Lianhua say calmly, "Afei, remember what you promised me."
“Alright, I know. I don’t need to use internal energy; I can subdue this kid completely with just my techniques.” Clearly, Di Feisheng remembered his promise not to harm Fang Duobing.
"What do you mean by this? Don't look down on me." Fang Duobing stood by, helplessly furious.
"You'll understand what I mean once I beat you to a pulp."
"Don't talk big. This young master is exceptionally talented, a disciple of Li Xiangyi. Not just anyone can beat me." Fang Duobing proudly raised his head.
"Tsk tsk, Li Xiangyi even took on apprentices, I wonder if he was just bored?"
"You are not allowed to slander my master."
Fang Duobing launched the first attack. He moved swiftly, and the Erya Sword flashed a silver light, aiming straight for Di Feisheng's throat. Di Feisheng dodged the attack easily to the side, and at the same time kicked at Fang Duobing.
Fang Duobing reacted quickly, dodging to the side and grabbing Di Feisheng's ankle, attempting to throw him to the ground. However, Di Feisheng reacted just as quickly, leaping up and dodging Fang Duobing's grab.
Fang Duobing channeled his internal energy, using his movement and swordsmanship to launch continuous attacks on Di Feisheng; while Di Feisheng relied on his superb knife skills and the reflexes he had accumulated in life-or-death battles to deflect Fang Duobing's attacks time and time again.
The two figures moved quickly across the open space, each collision producing a deafening sound.
In this battle, Di Feisheng skillfully avoided using his internal energy, while Fang Duobing exerted all his strength and used every trick in the book.
Every attack and defense they made was full of power and skill, demonstrating their understanding and dedication to martial arts.
The battle lasted for half an hour. In the end, even though Fang Duobing used all his internal strength, he lost due to his age and lack of combat experience, and obtained the white dog mask and the smallest room.
This battle might have been child's play for Li Lianhua, but Wu You watched it with great interest and learned a lot from it.
This fight led Fang Duobing to unilaterally admire Di Feisheng, while Di Feisheng also had some appreciation for Fang Duobing, but that was all.
Wu You couldn't help but sigh, wondering if the two of them would lose a lot of fun without their bickering.
However, Fang Duofei lived alone in the small room of the Lotus Pavilion, mainly because he didn't have any extra rooms. But he always kept the little dog mask hanging on his waist, neither wearing it nor taking it off.

Wu You: Fang Duobing, listen to me. First, a left hook, then a low kick, and finally, the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms.
Fang Duobing: Have you forgotten my Erya sword? It would be even harder for me to fight empty-handed.
Li Lianhua: Observing the game without speaking.
Wu You: Okay, but this isn't chess.
Flute Flying Sound: Is there no one to speak up for me?
Fox spirit: Woof woof woof.
