Chapter 740: Exceptional Qinggong
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Su Fengmao bought two masks without waiting for his wife to respond. Shen Qiuhua raised her brows, asking, “Hey, where’d you get the money to buy these?”
She was puzzled because she kept all the money the family earned. Su Fengmao would never ask her for even a copper coin.
He smiled and said, “Don’t you remember my parents giving us red packets for Chinese New Year?”
Although Su Fengmao had a family and a career, his parents treated him and his wife as children, giving them red packets. Su Fengmao wanted to pass his wife her red packet, but she gifted him one instead.
After some consideration, Shen Qiuhua asked, ‘You kept them, didn’t you?”
Su Fengmao replied, “Of course. I didn’t spend a single cent, especially not from the red packet you gifted me.”
He could not bear to spend the precious money his wife had gifted him in the
red packet, so he set it aside as savings. However, his parents had given him a red packet, so he had enough to buy the two masks.
Shen Qiuhua thought Su Fengmao was the sweetest man she had ever met. Although he rarely said sweet things to her, his actions would touch her heart, just like when they were young.
“Tell me if you need money to buy something next time, or I’ll buy them for you.” Shen Qiuhua wanted to treat her husband better. She knew he had worked the fields a few years ago to keep the family fed.
When Su Fengmao was busy, he never had time for himself or to eat. At that time, the family barely had proper food to nourish themselves. Su Fengmao only ate cornbread made from coarse grains to give his children better food.
Shen Qiuhua felt guilty when she recalled how hard he had worked for the family. Fortunately, those days were over now.
Su Fengmao did not know his wife’s thoughts at that moment. He shook his head and said, “l don’t need to buy anything because I have everything. I’m grateful just to have food and warm clothes.”
He handed a mask to Shen Qiuhua, saying, “Here, put this on.”
She took the mask and motioned to wear it. However, she did not know how to put it on properly. “Am I supposed to tie it behind my head like this?” Su Fengmao took it from her and said, “Let me help.”
After carefully putting on the mask for his wife, he wore his mask. Shen Qiuhua felt different after wearing her mask. She was no longer shy when holding her husband’s hand.
Shen Qiuhua felt she could be herself without others judging her. She could talk and laugh without fearing what others would say about her holding Su Fengmao’s hand.
She smiled, saying, “Wearing this mask makes me feel different.”
When she turned to look at her husband, she felt he appeared even more different with the mask on. She felt a chill down her spine, wondering why she felt a murderous aura.
She froze as she muttered, “Y-You—”
Suddenly, someone fell into the river, and another person shouted, “Help!
Someone, please!”
‘Quick, save them!”
Tenghe Town’s river was strange because it did not freeze, even during winter. That was why people typically went there during the Lantern Festival. The children were on a boat by the river, and two fell in.
The surrounding people shouted, but no one would enter the water to save the two children.
Su Fengmao jumped and stepped on the water. He appeared before the two who fell into the river and lifted them out, putting them on the boat. Immediately after, he disappeared.
“What? Who just saved them?”
“I-I don’t know. It looked like that person was wearing a mask.”
“It happened so fast. I didn’t even see what happened.”
“That person was so powerful. His martial arts skills must be unrivaled.”
“He must be a monk who knows Qinggong.”
“That’s amazing! I wonder who he is.”
Most people only saw an afterimage because Su Fengmao moved at breakneck speed. No one could see who exactly saved the two children.
Usually, people remove their shirts before jumping into the water to save someone. That was why it took time for them to help the children. However, Su Fengmao reacted before anyone could jump in. He did not even need to enter the river to save the children.
At that time, Su Binglan and Luo Jin’an were strolling in the distance. When they heard the commotion, they sped toward the river. As they were about to arrive, they saw someone flying over to the children.
The couple was exceptional at martial arts and could see everything that had happened. Su Binglan recognized the clothes her father wore. She knew she was not mistaken, even though he wore a mask.
Su Binglan was stunned, muttering, “W-Was that…my father?”
She had never been so surprised, wondering when Su Fengmao had learned such exceptional martial arts.
“Was I hallucinating?”
Luo Jin’an said, “Your eyes weren’t tricking you. Indeed, that was your father.”
Su Binglan was shocked, asking, “B-But…when did he learn such a thing? Why didn’t 1 know about it? My father grew up in Su Teng Village, and his parents are farmers. Where’d he learn martial arts from?”
Considering what she had witnessed, Su Fengmao’s Qinggong was extraordinary, rivaling an expert’s. Ordinary people could only dream of achieving such a level of excellence.
Luo Jin’an’s expression turned solemn as he said, “That means
Father-in-law’s internal energy is powerful.”
Su Fengmao’s Qinggong shocked Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan.
Su Binglan’s lips twitched, wondering when her father had cultivated such potent internal energy. She said, “Let’s find my parents and see what’s happening.”
After saving the children, Su Fengmao returned to Shen Qiuhua’s side and removed his mask. He did not want anyone to recognize his mask.
However, Shen Qiuhua stood there like a statue. She only remembered someone shouting for help and Su Fengmao flying off. Immediately after, someone rescued the children, and Su Fengmao flew back to her. Shen Qiuhua suspected she was hallucinating.
Su Fengmao was surprised, too. He looked at the mask and found his voice, saying, “Did I scare you?”
Shen Qiuhua no longer cared about shopping, pulling her husband to a secluded corner where no one would see them.. She asked, “No, but how do you know Qinggong? Did you remember your past?”
