Chapter 549: 435 Fang You is very supportive of you?
Meng Qing watched as Xia Nuo and Fang You clung to each other for a while. Although Fang You seemed somewhat reluctant, constantly pushing Xia Nuo away, Xia Nuo only clung tighter, murmuring into Fang You's cheek as he asked,
"What's the matter… You won't even let me cling to you?"
Xia Nuo pouted, "What's wrong, our Fang You, you seem unhappy?"
"No."
Fang You said, "I just think we should keep a certain distance in public places, otherwise people might misunderstand our relationship…"
"But I think there's nothing about our relationship that could be misunderstood! We have the closest relationship in the world!"
As Xia Nuo spoke, he tried to play with Fang You's chin, but Fang You dodged lightly.
Emperor You You raised his eyebrows slightly, "Didn't you tell me at first that you weren't coming today? You said you had to tune your flying machine."
"I finished early."
Xia Nuo stretched lazily, then excitedly said, "Lingyi helped me set the program, and the test flight was very successful. I feel like this time I'm definitely going to win the Green Bull Cup! I'm going to be the champion, I tell you…"
"That's great."
Fang You said expressionlessly, "Although I don't think getting Lingyi's help makes any difference compared to having my help…"
"Hehe…"
Xia Nuo smiled and didn't continue the topic. Instead, he looked toward Meng Qing, who was nervously standing aside.
"Sister Meng Qing, it's been a long time since you've seen You You. Are you surprised to see him?"
"Yes, yes, quite surprised…"
"A little boy who used to be so small has now grown into such a big boy, surprising, right?"
"Um… yes."
"Handsome or not?"
"Um…" Meng Qing blushed slightly, "Yes… he has become very handsome."
"Do you like You You?"
"Ah?"
Just when Xia Nuo wanted to probe further, Fang You pulled him back into his arms by the shoulder, "Stop prying."
"I was just curious!" Xia Nuo stuck out his tongue at Fang You, then looked at Meng Qing again, "And besides, Sister Meng Qing, you've never had a boyfriend, right?"
"…"
"Yes… but, I'm not really interested in romance right now…"
"Really?"
"Yes, after all, I still want to perpetuate my own martial arts styles."
Meng Qing fiddled with her hair and unconsciously looked away.
…
Just as Xia Nuo was about to ask more, Fang You abruptly twisted her ear, "You can come along, but don't cause trouble here, otherwise I'll send you back."
"Alright, alright, I'm just curious about Sister Meng Qing's love life."
Xia Nuo held Meng Qing's hand, excitedly saying, "This time we came to Zhendan Academy's Martial Arts Club to observe and learn, we plan to introduce you to a really, really great Martial Arts teacher, you will definitely find her interesting! Ah… here we are."
"That, that room ahead, is that the dojo of the Martial Arts Club?"
"Oh, that one, that's just the training dojo usually open to all the students. The real headquarters building of the Martial Arts Club is that building."
"That, that whole building?"
Observing the five-story duplex building in front of her that was as large as an academic building, Meng Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Typically, a university club would just occupy one room, even if it's a national sport like martial arts, it might only have an independent dojo. However, Zhendan Academy's Martial Arts Club had an entire building to itself, reflecting the immense financial resources of Zhendan Academy.
"Is this really not some kind of Martial Arts Headquarters?"
"Zhendan Academy's Martial Arts Club is a place where faculty and students of the academy come together to deeply study martial arts. Here, each coach has their own dojo. The teachings of each instructor are almost entirely independent, and the members of the club can freely choose the instructor they wish to learn martial arts from."
"However, everyone must also complete the challenges set by the dojo instructors before they can apply to become the teacher's disciple and participate in the special training at the dojo."
"Of course, every instructor here has an S1-level qualification."
Xia Nuo said, "And, all of them are martial artists ranked in the TOP100 in the world's competitive martial arts rankings!"
Hearing this, Meng Qing felt sweat beads forming by her ears. Although she was also a Gold Level martial artist, there were levels even among Gold Level martial artists. TOP100 martial artists, especially those in the top 50, were often famous in their own right and established their own martial arts grandmasters; usually, it was difficult to persuade such people to work under someone.

"So there… how many coaches are currently teaching?"
"We have 7 instructors."
Fang You said softly, "But I have experienced the martial arts strength and teaching quality of these instructors, and in the field of teaching knowledge, there should be no one able to surpass you."
At this moment, Fang You scanned his wristband to enter the interior of the Martial Arts Club, and everyone who saw Fang You immediately showed a wary expression, hastily stepping aside.
"…"
"Today we came to meet this one."
Fang You led Xia Nuo and Meng Qing to Room 101 dojo, which was clearly packed with dozens of students observing and learning from the instructor's demonstration.
A female instructor with her hair tied in a ponytail was demonstrating sparring with a tall burly man about 1.9 meters tall.
Although she appeared barefaced, her face radiated a brisk heroic spirit. As she faced the burly man's offensive, she always managed to avoid his attacks effortlessly, strolling leisurely and easily dodging the raining blows from the burly man.
Eventually, as the burly man's repeated attacks failed, the ponytail-coach seized an opening and delivered a very impressive Tornado Kick. Accompanied by a sharp cry, her Tornado Kick struck the burly man's face, causing him to stagger back, grimacing in pain, and just as he tried to move forward, his entire body thunderously collapsed to the ground.
Seeing the coach's spectacular display of martial arts skills, the students immediately burst into thunderous applause.
"It's Coach Yue after all!"
"Senior Sister is still as impressive as ever…"
"She's amazing, Senior Sister!"
"Everyone watch closely, when facing an opponent much larger in size, we must learn to overcome our inner fears, use deft strength, avoid their strengths, and seize the weaknesses in their lower position. This way, one can easily defeat the enemy with a single strike…"
Coach Yue was introducing this to everyone, and her gaze quickly fell on the last row of students—namely Xia Nuo and Fang You.
When their eyes met, Xia Nuo even actively waved her hand, prompting Coach Yue to become somber. She clapped her hands and motioned to the students:
"Um… that will be all for today's lesson, everyone. Can a few students take Li Zaichun to the infirmary for treatment? He's just temporarily dizzy, and resting in the infirmary should help him recover."
"Is Coach Yue's flying kick really that powerful?"
"I want to be kicked by Coach Yue too!"
"Even though Senior Sister graduated several years ago, she still exudes the same reverence as before…"
As the crowd walked and talked about the Dojo 101 coach, their eyes eventually fell upon the trio of Fang You, Xia Nuo, and Meng Qing, and they started whispering among themselves.
Just then, the female coach slowly walked up to Xia Nuo and Fang You.
…
"Senior Sister Yue! You really do seem more and more like an adult now!"
Xia Nuo animatedly gestured, "You're so put-together, it's hard to believe you only graduated from Zhendan Academy the year before last!"
"I'm not a senior anymore." The coach in front of them straightened her collar and displayed her coach badge, "I am now a demonstrator for the Martial Arts Club at Zhendan Academy. You should call me Coach Yue."
"Senior Sister, Senior Sister, did you miss us?"
Not at all…
Not one bit.
Coach Yue Yipei knew that whenever she saw Fang You and Xia Nuo, she was in for some trouble.
However…
Her eyes fell on the woman next to Fang You.
"This is the coach you mentioned to me before…"
Tsk.
Yue Yipei's eyes fell on Meng Qing's impressive stature immediately.
Indeed… just Fang You's type…
[Yue Yipei finds your undisguised physical preference somewhat annoying, Emotional Energy +10]
"Let me give an introduction."
Fang You said, "This is my first mentor in martial arts, Coach Meng Qing, and this is—"
Meng Qing, rarely interrupting Fang You, her eyes filled with the zeal of meeting a fan, "A genius martial arts girl, the most anticipated new generation martial arts talent throughout Hua Country, ranked 49th in the world of martial arts sports, the youngest female in the top 50, my lifelong idol and role model."
…
She might not look all that impressive, but she certainly has an eye for talent.
"I'm flattered." Yue Yipei said, "It took me three years to move from rank 51 to 49…"
"Please, please don't be so modest!"
Meng Qing earnestly stated, her tone turning increasingly respectful, "We all come from the world of martial arts, and everyone knows how hard it is to be in the top 50!"
"Ah…"
Hmph, I sure know.
But I just like to play it down a bit…
Yue Yipei enjoyed showing off in front of Fang You and Xia Nuo, feeling exhilarated as if the shadows of her childhood were finally being dispelled.
"Alright, alright, no need for you two to be so modest. After all, there is much room for improvement, and you can learn a lot from each other and progress together."
Xia Nuo said, "This time, You You and I came here mainly because—"
"Don't finish my lines."
Fang You knocked on Xia Nuo's head, "You weren't even supposed to come, how would you know my plan?"
"You told me before… of course, I remember…"
Xia Nuo rubbed her thumped head, "Anyway, it's about expanding your martial arts business in Dragon City, right… with Sister Meng Qing
"As for Coach Meng Qing's plans, I've looked into them before. Although Coach Meng Qing has a detailed strategy, with the numerous and complex martial arts gyms in Dragon City, securing a foothold on her own is as hard as reaching the sky."
"Um… I know this is not easy… but I still want to give it a try."
Meng Qing earnestly stated, "Moreover, You You is very supportive of me, and I don't want to let him down.
…
Fang You, very supportive of you?
Yue Yipei listened, somewhat confused, feeling Meng Qing's reasoning a bit far-fetched.
"Ah…"
"You mean… you plan to rely on Fang You's capability?"
Yue Yipei frowned, "Fang You, although a topic of significant influence in the martial arts realm, can only play a role of gilding the lily; the waters of Dragon City's martial arts are too deep, it's not just about having the qualifications to open a dojo."
Otherwise, with my level of skill, why would I content myself with just being a coach at Zhendan Academy…
Yue Yipei, a martial arts prodigy from a small town with shallow connections and limited financial resources, kept her pride without compromising her dignity. Staying to work at the academy was the safest, most stable choice for her.
"Um… actually…"
"No, it's definitely not relying on that." Xia Nuo said, "You You doesn't like the spotlight, so he won't publicly support Sister Meng Qing."
"So, this support means—"
"Ah…"
Meng Qing, a bit puzzled, looked towards Fang You, who slightly nodded. Only then did Meng Qing explain, "Actually, You You mainly supports me with finances and connections…"
