In the Hufa Pavilion, Mr. Shi sat quietly in the hall, sipping tea, as if waiting for something.
Zhao Wujī stood by, not daring to breathe loudly.
Mr. Shi usually leaves the Hufa Pavilion after a while, but judging by his current demeanor, he won't be leaving anytime soon.
Just then, a member of the Guardian Pavilion rushed in and said to Zhao Wujī, "Master Zhao, someone wants to see Mr. Shǐ…"
"Who is it?"
Zhao Wujī asked.
"Is it Ning Hai?"
Mr. Shi began to ask.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's them, father and son!"
That member of the Guardian Pavilion nodded.
"It seems that Ning Hai hasn't been foolish to a certain extent!"
Mr. Shi smiled faintly and said, "Let him come in!"
That member of the Hufa Pavilion withdrew, while Zhao Wuji looked at Mr. Shi in surprise.
It seems Mr. Shi came to the Hufa Pavilion early this morning, and he was waiting for Ning Hai just as we expected.
"Mr. Shi, did you guess that Ning Haida would come to find you?"
Zhao Wujie asked curiously.
"I guessed it, but I wasn't completely sure. It seems Ning Hai doesn't want to go down with Chen Ping."
Mr. Shi said.
Zhao Wujie gazed at Mr. Shi with admiration in his eyes!
Soon, Ning Hai followed Ning Zhi and was invited in.
After seeing Mr. Shi, Ning Hai and Ning Zhi simultaneously bowed to Mr. Shi and said, "Mr. Shi..."
Mr. Shi nodded slightly: “Well, have a seat!”
Mr. Shi gestured for the father and son to sit down, but soon, Mr. Shi's gaze fell upon Ning Zhi, his expression becoming somewhat grave.
Ning Zhi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Mr. Shi staring at him.
But soon, Mr. Shi turned his gaze from Ning Zhi and asked Ning Dahai: "Ning Dahai, what do you want to see me about?"
"Mr. Shi, Chen Ping is now at my Ning family's doorstep, demanding a challenge from me. As an old-school martial artist, I can't back down from a fight against him!"

"No matter who wins or loses, I'm utterly embarrassed. And besides, a fight between the two of us would surely shake the entire Kyoto martial arts world!"
"So I want to ask Mr. Shi to step forward and tell us about Chen Ping. What are his demands? He can bring them up, and I will try my best to satisfy him..."
Ning Hai lowered his posture and said to Mr. Shi.
Mr. Shi smiled faintly: "Ning Haida, when you went to kill Chen Ping, didn't you say that as an old-school martial artist, it would be a shame to attack a newcomer and lose face?"
Mr. Shi's words struck Ning Haidao right in the soft spot.
Ning Hai could only smile awkwardly, but couldn't utter a word.
“I could try to persuade Chen Ping, but whether he'll listen to me is another matter. That boy has a stubborn streak.”
Mr. Shi said slowly.
"It's okay, as long as Mr. Shi steps forward, who in the entire martial arts world would dare not give him face? I believe Mr. Shi will be fine!"
Ning Hai didn't expect Professor Shi to agree to his request so readily.
It is known that Chen Ping has the support of Mr. Shi behind him, and Chen Ping challenging himself must have also been instructed by Mr. Shi.
But Ning Dahai didn't expect that Mr. Shi would actually agree to persuade Chen Ping.
"Alright then, you all go out and wait for me..."
Mr. Shi said.
Ning Dahai repeatedly expressed his gratitude and followed Ning Zhi out the door to wait.
"Mr. Shi, are you really going to persuade Mr. Chen? You know about his challenge to Ning Haida."
Zhaowuji looked at Mr. Shi with disbelief and asked.
He didn't understand why Mr. Shi agreed to Ning Haidao's request.
"Of course I'll go, but Chen Ping definitely won't give me face..."
Mr. Shi smiled and then walked out.
Ning Dahai hurriedly personally opened the car door for Mr. Shi, and then the car drove towards the Ning family.
