Metropolis: The Rise of Chinese Arts

Hearing Tang Shan's words, Zhang Nian's thoughts rushed over like a tide.

More than ten years ago, when Guimoto Ichiro and the others hadn't formed a climate.

At that time, my father was still the Tai Chi master in Qingyun City.

Back then, a man once came from outside to challenge his father by name.

Of course, the ending is obvious.

After the man was defeated by his father, he disappeared.

It's not my fault, after all, it's been so long, and they haven't met for a long time.

"I remembered?"

The man smiled and said.

Zhang Nian laughed and said.

"I remembered, you are Uncle Suozi, right?"

"Hey, you have a little conscience."

The old man smiled, patted Zhang Nian on the shoulder, pulled the little boy beside him, and said.

"Xiao Qi, call me Uncle, this is your Uncle Zhang."

The boy named Xiaoqi smiled and called uncle.

This made Zhang Nian somewhat embarrassed.

After all, I'm not too old, how could I become an uncle in no time.

But he quickly reacted and said.

"Uncle Suozi, why are you here? Where have you been these few years? What are you doing here?"

Tang Shan smiled, pulled Zhang Nian to the side and sat down, and said.

"I don't have anything to do today. The lock just happened to come, so let's chat slowly, come and sit down."

With that said, everyone sat down.

Zhang Nian sat down and Tang Shan poured him a glass of water.

Only then did Suozi open the chatterbox.

"In the past two years, I actually didn't stay anywhere. I ran around. Back then, after I was defeated, I couldn't figure out why I lost to your father. I traveled here and there and learned a lot. I was thinking of coming back to fight with you. Your dad will try it again, I didn't expect it."

Shuozi seemed to feel that he had said something wrong, so he immediately shut up.

Zhang Nian smiled wryly, shook his head, and said.

"It's okay, Uncle Suozi, it's been more than ten years."

Suozi coughed twice and said.

"Well, I saw a report recently. I heard that you have become the president of Qingyun City Wushu Association, and reforms have also been carried out, so I came here."

Zhang Nian was immersed in memories, listening to Suozi all the time.

Having said that, he finally understood what it meant.

"Uncle Suozi, I understand, you want to stay, in Qingyun City?"

Zhang Nian asked.

Suozi was talking non-stop, but suddenly stopped, as if Zhang Nian had seen through his mind.

He nodded and said.

"That's right, I want to come back, and Xiao Qi has grown up too, so I can't continue to live that kind of wandering life."

Suo Zi said, looking at Xiao Qi next to him.

Xiao Qi only looks like a teenager. Children of this age are likely to start rebelling slowly.

It is estimated that the lock can no longer control him.

Just thinking about it, I heard Tang Yun shouting inside.

"Oh, you are still chatting, let's eat first, after eating, it's not too late."

All of a sudden, the awkward atmosphere around them eased, and everyone got up one after another, Tang Shan also said.

"Yes, yes, Yun'er is right, eat first, eat first."

Suozi froze for a moment, looked at Zhang Nian, and nodded.

A few people came to the roof, just sat down, looking at the distant scenery, Shuozi couldn't help showing a trace of longing on his face.

At this time, Tang Shan winked at Zhang Nian.

Zhang Nian frowned, and followed Tang Shan down.

Inside the martial arts hall, Tang Shan sighed and said.

"What to do, everyone has come here, what do you say?"

Zhang Nian also smiled helplessly and said.

"It's not that I don't want to keep him, it's just that at this time, after all, it's a special period. If I open the back door as soon as I come up, what's the difference from when Ichiro Guimoto and the others were here before?"

"It's true, but this lock is pitiful, and that child, that Xiao Qi, you say."

Tang Shan also seemed a little helpless.

Zhang Nian nodded and said.

"But I remember that Uncle Suozi was also a powerful character in the past. If he really wants to join, you can try it. I want to reorganize the Wushu Association. It just so happens that a large number of people have left recently. Yes, I just don’t know if Uncle Suozi is up to the task. But even if he can’t, it doesn’t matter, we can arrange a place for him in our martial arts school.”

Tang Shan sighed and could only nod his head.

Speaking of which, his relationship with Suozi must be deeper than that of Zhang Nian, after all, they were all hanging out together back then.

After eating, Yang Fei came back from outside and brought a lot of things.

Seeing Zhang Nian and the others having dinner, he greeted them and went back to his room.

Yang Fei came up again after everyone had finished eating and packed up their things.

People sit down.

"Xiao Nian, when I come back this time, I want to build a martial arts gym by myself and join the martial arts association in Qingyun City. What do you think?"

At this time, Suozi finally revealed his feelings.

Zhang Nian scratched his head and said.

"Uncle Suozi, your idea is good, but now we all have Tai Chi gyms, if you come to another one, you can only compete with us."

Suozi froze for a moment, looked outside, and then remembered that Zhang Nian's martial arts gym was Tai Chi martial arts gym.

But he immediately laughed and said.

"It's also easy to handle. I have learned a lot of boxing outside in the past two years. I can build another martial arts gym."

Zhang Nian and Tang Shan looked at each other, nodded and said.

"Okay, but Uncle Suozi, I have something to tell you in advance. Although I am the president, I can't give you any back door."

Before Zhang Nian finished speaking, Suo Zi's face showed a very excited expression.

He quickly grabbed Xiao Qi who was next to him and said.

"Xiaoqi, come on, kneel down for Uncle Zhang Nian!"

"what?"

When Xiao Qi was about to kneel down, Zhang Nian grabbed him and said.

"Uncle Suozi, I don't like this anymore, besides, I didn't do anything, there's no need to do this."

When Suozi heard Zhang Nian's words, tears flowed down his face.

This time, Zhang Nian and Tang Shan were a little surprised.

The lock squeaked and said.

"Back then, I had a life-and-death duel with your father, and I didn't hold back. After I lost, I kept worrying about it. Originally, I didn't expect you to forgive me when I came back this time. Xiao Nian, I'm sorry."

Hearing Suozi's words, Zhang Nian felt his nose sore.

To be honest, he didn't think about blaming the lock.

Back then, there were quite a few people who challenged their father, and there were also many who did not leave behind.

But Suozi is the first person who has been carrying such a psychological burden for more than ten years.

This couldn't help but make Zhang Nian feel warm in his heart, so he didn't have much hatred for Suo Zi.
