【It’s Monday, please click, bookmark, and recommend votes!】

"Awen, the impact of this incident today is really great. The neighbors all have a lot of opinions. This rooftop... I'm afraid I can't rent it to you anymore." The friend who rented Ip Man's house was the editor-in-chief of a newspaper, named Lin Gen. He attaches great importance to Ip Man's character and skills. The relationship between the two is also very good. However, under the pressure of many residents in the building, he had to come.

Hearing his friend's words, Ye Wen couldn't help but look embarrassed and responded with a deep apology: "I'm so sorry, Brother Gen, I've caused you trouble."

Lin Gen was one head taller than Ip Man, and she looked a little thin. She was wearing a pair of glasses. She was a standard literary youth. Seeing Ip Man's expression, she felt very uncomfortable. She patted her friend's shoulder, but didn't know what to say. Finally, she had to say: "I'm really sorry, Ah Wen, I'm really sorry, I... I have something to do in my newspaper, so I'll leave first."

"Let's go slowly, Brother Gen." Although Ip Man couldn't help but feel bitter when he thought that he had no place to teach boxing in the future, he was really embarrassed to ask his friends for help when he thought that he had caused such a big trouble to his friends this time.

Lin Gen came out and couldn't help but look at Huang Liang and others with a little regret, but after all, he left without saying a word.

Seeing his friend leave, Ye Wen felt a little lost, sighed softly, and asked Jiang Chen: "A Chen, the apology and compensation from the neighbors are all done."

"Apologize for what should be apologized, and compensation for what should be apologized." Jiang Chen sighed: "Simply, it was just damaged, and there were no casualties, so the situation was not very serious. However, the noise this time was too big, and the neighbors complained very much." Speaking of this, he couldn't help but ask, "Do you want me to find a new martial arts hall?"

"No, compared to the martial arts hall, what they need now is martial ethics. Otherwise, no matter how good the martial arts hall is, it will be useless." Ye Wen said, walking straight outside, looking at the scarred apprentices, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly.

Seeing the master's appearance, Huang Liang looked ashamed. When things went on, he finally realized that he had made a big mistake.

Looking at his disciples, Ip Man didn't say anything blamed, but just said quietly: "I think everyone knows it. We can't practice boxing here in the future."

"Master, it's not our business. They are the ones who make trouble first and don't let people come up to learn boxing!"

"They also started to do it first and hit the big head before we went down."

"They bully people too much. Let's go and we'll go to them to argue!"

Hearing Ye Wen's words, Huang Liang and others couldn't help but feel indignant, and they all shouted to go to Hong Zhen's Nanwu Pavilion to find the place. Ye Wen waved his hands repeatedly, and then suppressed his indignant apprentices and said calmly: "Clean up the things before leaving, and move the wooden stakes to my house first."

Shaking his head, Ip Man immediately stepped away with his hands behind his back. Huang Liang and others looked at Ip Man's departure back, and couldn't help but be stunned. One by one, all lowered their heads.

Jiang Chen had just walked out of the house and looked at Huang Liang and others. He did not have the good temper of Ye Wen, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and said, "Don't be standing there, hurry up and pack up, from now on, everyone will go to the main road to practice boxing."

He knew that Ip Man went to Hong Zhennan for his disciples, and finally even fought with Hong Zhennan. But so what? What happened has happened has happened. I just hope that this "past" can become a life experience that Huang Liang and others can be alerted to.

Frightened by the majesty of Jiang Chen, the senior brother, Huang Liang and others dared not argue with him. Although they were full of indignation and regret, they could only clean the rooftop under his command, and then brought the wooden stakes to Ip Man's house. Zhang Yongcheng had a bad premonition as early as when Ip Man and Jiang Chen were called away. Now that he saw this, he still didn't understand that the martial arts hall must have been in trouble.

Jiang Chen hurriedly comforted: "Master's wife, don't worry, the trouble has been solved. In a few days, we will find a new martial arts hall."

"Is that right?" Zhang Yongcheng responded lightly. She didn't seem to care about the affairs of the martial arts school, but in fact, how could she really not care about her husband? It's just that she knew very well that what she could do was to remain silent. Whether it was good or bad, her silence was the greatest support for Ip Man.

Soon, Ip Man returned from Hong Zhen’s Nanwu Pavilion and ordered everyone to put the wooden stakes down. Then he said calmly: “Everyone goes back to rest early, come here to practice qigong tomorrow morning.”

Everyone looked at the small room in front of them and couldn't help but hesitate: "Come here to practice?"

"Yes!" Ye Wen nodded and responded: "Go back quickly and come here early tomorrow!"

"Then... Master, let's go first..." Although hesitated, everyone still left obediently. Soon, only the three men of Ye Wen, Jiang Chen, and Huang Liang were left at the door.

"Puu!" Huang Liang suddenly knelt down at Ye Wen, "Master, it was me who impulsively caused you to lose the martial arts school. I'm sorry!"

"Come on, get up first." Ip Man quickly pulled Huang Liang from the ground, then picked up the kettle from the side and poured Jiang Chen cups of tea for each of them, and greeted with a smile: "Come on, sit down, drink tea first, let's chat slowly."

Jiang Chen and Huang Liang sat down in response. Ip Man sat opposite Huang Liang. He looked at Huang Liang and asked with a smile: "A Chen, A Liang, do you think I am very capable of fighting?"

"Of course you are very good at fighting." Huang Liang immediately responded: "You can fight so many people by yourself."

"What about twenty years later?" Ip Man smiled and said, "Twenty years later, you can defeat me at any time. People will grow old. How can there be the most capable person in this world?"

Huang Liang was stunned when he heard this. Ip Man continued, "Aliang, you are actually a martial arts talent, but what you pursue is the martial arts moves, but I want you to learn Chinese martial arts, because Chinese martial arts contains the spirit of us Chinese and also cultivation. The key is neutrality and non-competition. Do you understand?"

"I..." Huang Liang couldn't help but be confused and stunned for a while, and then said cowardly: "I'm still thinking."

"Ha." With a chuckle, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile: "If you can't figure it out now, don't force yourself. Take your time in the future. One day, you will understand the truth contained in Master's words. Let's go, it's getting late, and Master's wife is pregnant, so we can't disturb you a lot."

"Yes, senior brother." Huang Liang responded, and said senior brother, before he knew it, he had a little more sincerity than before.

"Master, let's leave first." Jiang Chen said goodbye to Ye Wen. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Ye Wen say:

"Achen, wait and leave later. I have something to say to you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be stunned, but after only a moment of hesitation, he stayed there. I saw Ye Wen walking in the bedroom. When he came back, he had a thread-packed book on his hand, which looked wrinkled and seemed to be a little old.

"A Chen, these are some of my experiences I wrote when I practice boxing. You can go back and take a look." Ip Man smiled and said, "I had planned to give it to you before, but I didn't expect that this happened, and it was delayed. Now I should be giving it to you."

"Of course it's not too late." Jiang Chen took the book and felt mixed feelings for a while. For many people, this book may not be a big deal, but for those who practice martial arts, its value can be regarded as immeasurable. Unexpectedly, the master gave it to him like this.

"It's better not to be late." Ye Wen smiled and waved his hand, "It's very late, go back early to rest. Remember to come here early to practice tomorrow."

"Master..." Jiang Chen's heart was full of emotion. He wanted to say something, but when he said something, he couldn't say anything.

"Go back." Ip Man smiled and patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder. He was not good at speaking, so he could only express his gratitude and love for this apprentice in this way.

"Master, good night." Jiang Chen didn't say much, said goodbye to Ye Wen, and then he grabbed the book in his hand tightly and turned around and left.

"Honey, are A Chen and the others gone?" Zhang Yongcheng walked out of the inner room, looked at Jiang Chen's back gradually moving away, and couldn't help but say to Ye Wen: "You have accepted a good apprentice."
