Chapter: 5516

Ito Emiko chuckled, "Why not sign up for the cooking school first? Once you've learned, you can teach me at home. This period in Jinling is an excellent opportunity for you and Uncle Ye Chen to cultivate a deeper bond. If you can pick up some Jinling-style cooking techniques, it will surely leave him impressed."

Nanao's eyes widened in surprise and she asked, "Really? You're really willing to help me with that?"

"Of course." Ito Emiko replied without hesitation, "If Aunt didn't want to do this, I wouldn't be telling you now."

Just as Nanao was about to express her gratitude, the doorbell rang. She hastily said, "It must be Uncle Ye Chen coming upstairs! I'll go get him!"

Ito Emiko nodded and smiled, "Go ahead!"

The high-rise residential building at Tongchen's headquarters had a single-color elevator that could only be accessed without a physical card. Uncle Ye Chen arrived for his visit and was able to enter the elevator and select the specified floor after waiting for the upstairs lock to open...

"Xiǎo Xiāo originally only needed to help Liè Chén open the door, but she still went through the access system and told Liè Chén, 'Liè Chén, please wait for a moment. I'll be right down to meet you.'"

"In Xiǎo Xiāo's traditional Japanese concept, if she let her beloved man go upstairs on his own, it would be equivalent to him returning home, saying 'I'm back' at the doorstep, and then the wife would not be kneeling by the door to welcome him. Instead, she would be sitting in the living room waiting, which is absolutely impolite."

"So, she hurried out of the house, took the elevator down to the garage, personally opened the garage's big door, smiled and said, 'Liè Chén, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting!'"

"Liè Chén laughed and asked her, 'Why did you come down yourself?'"

"Xiǎo Xiāo blushed and softly said, 'This is what's supposed to be done. Liè Chén, Oudossan is waiting for you. Let's go upstairs!'"

"Liè Chén nodded slightly and rode the elevator up with Xiǎo Xiāo."

"The elevator door opened, and Ito Emiko, Ito Emi, and Tanaka Hiroshi were already lined up inside the lobby."

"When they saw Liè Chén, the three of them bowed simultaneously and said, 'Welcome, Mr. Liè!'

"Liè Chén looked a bit surprised and laughed, saying, 'Ito-sensei, why are you making such a big fuss...?'"

"Ito Emiko straightened up his posture and spoke loudly, 'This is what's supposed to be done, Mr. Liè. Please come in!'"

Let me know if there's anything else I can help with!

Liè Chén was helpless and followed Ito Emiko into the room.

Ito Emiko had been leading Liè Chén to the dining area, proactively pulling out a chair for him, saying with respect: "Please sit down, Mr. Liè!"

Liè Chén felt a bit uncomfortable and said seriously: "Mr. Ito, we've known each other for some time now. Your sudden change in demeanor is quite awkward."

Ito Emiko spoke seriously: "Mr. Liè, all martial artists know that external skills are just superficial, while true mastery lies in internal and external harmony. And the pinnacle of this internal and external harmony is Wuhua Wudao, which Neneko has been yearning for since childhood. Unfortunately, Japan only has ninjutsu, not wudao, and ninjutsu training focuses on concealing one's presence and making secret attacks, which has a somewhat lowly status and cannot be elevated to the level of true martial arts. Now that Mr. Liè has given Neneko an opportunity to learn true wudao, she is overjoyed these past few days, and as her father, I am filled with gratitude for your transmission of knowledge!"

Before Liè Chén could speak up, Neneko beside him excitedly said: "Master Ito, I have some good news to share with you!"

Ito Emiko hurriedly asked: "What's the good news? Tell me quickly!"

Neneko said: "Today, I finally mastered the method of internal inspection and truly achieved the circulation of true energy! In other words, I'm now a true warrior!"

"Really?" Ito Emiko exclaimed with surprise: "Neneko, you've really become a warrior? Isn't it always said that entering the world of martial arts is extremely difficult? According to legend, most people never find their way in a lifetime, and even those who do enter the door often require at least a year or several years to find the key. But you've only been studying for a few days, how did you manage to grasp it so quickly?" JrNovels.com
