On the plane.
Zhang Ye was sending voice messages to his mother while preparing to board the plane. His conversation to her was so funny that the people around him were nearly cramping up with laughter. They heard him saying, "Aiyo, Mum, you don\'t have to worry at all. I\'m just going on a trip abroad; nothing could possibly happen. Rest assured that I\'ll abide by the principles of respect and tolerance on my trip this time. If they don\'t respect me? Then I will still respect them. If they still disrespect me? I will still respect them. If they still continue disrespecting me? I will still continue respecting them? And if they still insist on disrespecting me? Then dammit, I\'ll friggin\' take it up with them—they can\'t keep on disrespecting me, don\'t you think?"
Ning Lan laughed. "Hahahahaha!"
Xiaodong laughed. "Hahahahahaha."
Xu Meilan also couldn\'t hold in her laughter anymore.
Wherever there was Zhang Ye, there would always be laughter and a relaxed mood. Wherever this fellow went, it would always sound like he was giving a crosstalk.
The flight attendants on the plane were pleasantly surprised when they saw him.
"Wow!"
"Teacher Zhang?"
"Teacher Zhang, you are here?"
"Let me get your luggage for you!"
"Teacher Zhang, your luggage, your luggage, leave your luggage to me!"
This was a China Airlines flight. When Zhang Ye boarded the plane, several of the flight attendants immediately surrounded him. They fought to help him with his stuff and hung the group of celebrities behind him out to dry.
Zhang Ye was a little embarrassed. "There\'s no need, there\'s no need."
Amy said in a speechless manner, "Look at the treatment he is getting."
Xiaodong said, "We\'re all sitting first class, so why is the treatment so different?"
Big Qi laughed and said, "Teacher Zhang is a lifelong honorary passenger of China Airlines. He doesn\'t even need to pay for his flights. Years back, he saved a plane of passengers and flight attendants, so it\'s obvious that he would get different treatment from them."
Ning Lan remembered this and said, "Oh yes, that\'s indeed the case."
A flight attendant informed the captain.
The captain also came out to greet him. "Teacher Zhang, welcome!"
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "There\'s really no need to be so polite."
The captain said, "That won\'t do. We can neglect anyone, but we must never neglect your presence. Teacher Zhang, I\'ve gotten married, and my bride is one of the flight attendants you saved."
Zhang Ye said in surprise, "Oh? Was it the slim one or the plump one?"
The captain smiled and said, "The slim one."
Zhang Ye said, "Whoa, you\'re a blessed man. Congratulations!"
The captain said, "Thank you. It was all because of you that I could marry her. I\'ll bring some wedding candies to you laters!"
Zhang Ye was also very happy about this and felt a sense of achievement.
In the first-class cabin.
Everyone got seated. Sun Aixi was helping everyone in the group with their luggage.
Li Xiaoxian said, "Thanks, Brother Sun."
Sun Aixi gave a sincere smile and said, "You don\'t need to be so polite, Teacher Li."
Xiaodong was on her tiptoes trying to put her luggage away. "Brother Sun, I\'m also having some trouble over here."
"Don\'t bother yourself with that, Teacher Xiaodong. I\'ll do it for you," Sun Aixi said, taking on everything himself.
Xiaodong smiled. "Thank you."
Sun Aixi said, "Sister Lan just instructed me. I\'ll be in charge of the team\'s safety, so everyone can look to me if there\'s any trouble on the road."
Ning Lan asked curiously, "Old Sun, are you a veteran?"
Usually, bodyguards were veterans.
When Xu Meilan heard that, she smiled and said, "Old Sun isn\'t one. He\'s actually a serious martial artist and has great kung fu. It wouldn\'t be easy for five people to get near him."
Amy said in surprise, "He\'s that powerful?"
Sun Aixi blushed a little. "No, no, I\'m not."
Big Qi asked, "Is there real kung fu in this world?"
Sun Aixi explained, "We tend to just call it Chinese martial arts."
Xiaodong smiled and said, "Then between you and Uncle Jiang, who is better at martial arts?"
Everyone in the entertainment circle knew that the Asian kung fu superstar Jiang Hanwei was borne with a martial arts background and really had the moves to back him up. In the eyes of many, Jiang Hanwei was someone who was the most skilled in kung fu within China because he was the only martial artist that they knew of. None of them have heard of any other more skilled practitioners before, so whenever the media and news wrote any reports related to kung fu masters, they would always think of Jiang Hanwei first. This was a publicly recognized fact.
Jiang Hanwei looked at him. "Which sect do you belong to, Master Sun?"
Sun Aixi said, "The Sun Family Style."
Jiang Hanwei said in surprise, "Eh, Master Sun He is your?
Sun Aixi said, "He is my second uncle."
Jiang Hanwei smiled and said, "Then let\'s have a friendly spar sometime when you\'re free."
Sun Aixi said, "Sure, I\'ll seek Master Jiang\'s guidance when there\'s an opportunity."
Then they started to chat.
However, Zhang Ye was not interested in this conversation at all. In fact, he wasn\'t even listening to what they were saying. He was making use of the time before the plane took off with his head lowered and laughingly messaging Wu Zeqing on his phone.
Ning Lan was sitting next to him.
Ning Lan smilingly said, "They\'re talking about kung fu. Aren\'t you interested in hearing what they have to say? When I got detained by those people during my filming and you went to help me get out of that situation, I remember hearing those martial artists addressing you as Master Zhang?"
Zhang Ye said in an unfocused manner, "Ah? Ah."
Ning Lan said, "You also know a little bit of kung fu?"
Zhang Ye answered as he texted on his phone. "Ah, I know a little."
Xiaodong turned around in surprise, "Teacher Zhang knows it too?"
Chen Guang said in amusement, "Don\'t listen to his bragging."
Amy giggled. "Why do I find it so unbelievable? Looking at the physiques and demeanors, it\'s obvious that only someone like Master Sun is a true practitioner of the martial arts."
Jiang Hanwei did not say anything.
Meanwhile, Sun Aixi was almost pissing his pants. He hurriedly said, "No, no, that\'s not how it is!"
Big Sis! Please don\'t praise me, alright! In front of someone like him, who dared to be called a master? He is the one who is the true Chinese martial arts master! And he\'s even the master of Taiji Fist, which had been lost for over a hundred years until recently! Even if Master Jiang and I were to combine our strength, we wouldn\'t be a match for him. This is someone who has even sparred with a martial arts grandmaster before. He\'s a monster who single-handedly swept aside the entire Zhou Family Style School, Huashan Sect, Emei Sect, Wudang Sect, Shaolin Monastery, Kongtong Sect, and a dozen other sects! He\'s someone who would instill fear to people in the martial arts community just at the mention of his name!
You want to compare me with him?
Aren\'t you putting me to shame that way?!
Sun Aixi was at a loss. He couldn\'t talk about the incidents involving Zhang Ye, so he was really hoping that he could crawl into a hole somewhere and avoid all the questioning.
Finally, Zhang Ye finished chatting. He tossed his cell phone onto his chair and then got up to go to the lavatory.
One minute.
Two minutes.
He finished his business.
When he opened the door to step out, Zhang Ye got surprised.
A dark figure suddenly showed up outside the door.
It was the Heavenly Queen\'s bodyguard.
Zhang Ye thought that he was waiting to use the lavatory as well, so he stepped aside and said, "It\'s yours."
No one else was around.
However, Sun Aixi did not go in. He turned serious and gave a fist and palm salute as he said respectfully, "The Sun Family Style\'s seventh generation disciple, Sun Aixi, pays his respect to Master Zhang."
Sun Family Style?
Was it a small sect?
Zhang Ye was startled. "You know me?"
Sun Aixi continued saluting him with great care and said, "I was fortunate to have heard from my elders regarding Master Zhang\'s deeds. That martial arts community\'s big battle on the peak that day was witnessed by one of my elders too. He even had the honor of fighting alongside Master Zhang and saw for himself Master Zhang\'s glory. Every time when I think about it, it always gets my blood pumping." With a pause, he quickly said, "Sister Lan asked me about your matters just now, but I know about the rules of the martial arts community, so I didn\'t mention anything to her. Don\'t you worry about that. I\'m not someone who\'s ignorant of the rules."
Rules?
You know about them?
But I don\'t know about them!
What martial arts community\'s rules are you talking about?
Zhang Ye was a fellow who had never regarded himself as part of the martial arts community. He was just an artist in show business. Back then, he had only gone to take on the various large sects because he was left with no choice. Who would have thought that after that, there would be a legend about him being passed down within the martial arts community? Further, the people in the martial arts community were even saying nothing about it and trembled at the mention of that incident.
Why don\'t you all just talk about it!
No one is saying that you aren\'t allowed to speak about it!
You all have got to help this bro out by promoting the incident so that I can gain even more popularity!
If the martial arts community knew that this was how Zhang Ye thought, they would probably cough up blood!
Actually, the so-called martial arts community\'s rules were just referring to how if you knew something, then you\'d know it. That was all down to you being qualified enough to know about it, and if you didn\'t, that just meant that it wasn\'t something that you should know about. For example, people like Sister Lan and the rest of the entertainment circle\'s celebrities. They were not part of the martial arts community, so these were things that no one would tell them about. At least, Sun Aixi could not tell them, because this involved too many people and was an event way beyond his comprehension. Besides, he did not have the seniority yet, so of course he couldn\'t go around shooting his mouth off as he liked, especially not to outsiders. Matters of the martial arts world were only meant to be known by those from the martial arts world. That was the rule.
Sun Aixi said respectfully, "If there\'s a chance in the future, I hope I can receive some pointers from Master Zhang."
Zhang Ye could only give a fist and palm salute and say, "You\'re too kind with your words."
Sun Aixi was overjoyed. "Then I take it that you\'ve agreed?"
Zhang Ye exclaimed, "Ah? Well, sure."
