Chen Ruoshui spoke reluctantly.

"Dad, why are you thanking him? The trouble at our Tai Chi Martial Arts Hall was all because of him in the first place. Now that he's solving it himself, isn't that expected?"

"Besides, he accidentally became the president of the Yang City Martial Arts Association, and now he has significant influence in Yang City. He must be secretly delighted."

"What nonsense are you spouting? Kneel down and thank President Su right now."

Chen Tai's manner of addressing Su Fan had shifted from 'young brother' to 'president'.

Su Fan quickly helped the kneeling Chen Tai to his feet, speaking with a hint of bashful fear,

"Director Chen, there's no need to be so formal. Your daughter is right; this matter originated from me, and it's only right that I resolve it."

"Moreover, although we do not have the formal ties of master and disciple, I have, after all, learned Tai Chi skills. If Tai Chi Martial Arts Hall faces difficulties, I definitely should lend a hand."

Chen Tai stood up and scolded his daughter.

"Ruoshui, my Tai Chi skills emphasize more on inner cultivation and demeanor, something you lack greatly compared to President Su. You really need to improve your temperament."

"Dad, can't you save me some face?"

Chen Ruoshui stormed back to the backyard, huffing.

Chen Tai looked somewhat awkwardly at Su Fan.

"President Su, please excuse my daughter's rudeness."

Su Fan, blushing, said,

"Master Chen, please just call me 'Little Su.' I'm not really interested in being the president of the Martial Arts Association; I was just appeasing those people earlier."

Chen Tai's expression immediately became serious, and he advised Su Fan,

"Divine Doctor Su, you may not realize, but the Martial Arts Association has significant influence everywhere. Yang City has over thirty martial arts halls. The smaller ones have around thirty to fifty disciples, and the big ones like Fiery Fire Martial Arts Hall have thousands of disciples. If unified, it would become the largest force in Yang City, incomparable to even the likes of the Blood Wolf Gang."

"If you were to assume the presidency of the Yang City Martial Arts Association, you would become one of the top figures in Yang City. Even the city's mayor and the head of the Chamber of Commerce would have to show you respect."

"This is a supreme honor. Besides, Yang City's martial arts community has been like scattered sand, unorganized, and badly in need of a president of good character to lead everyone to prosper in martial arts. With your profound martial art skills and high moral character, you are indeed the perfect candidate."

Su Fan was secretly astounded upon hearing this.

It was unbelievable that the president of the Martial Arts Association held such a lofty position, akin to a martial sect leader from those martial arts TV dramas.

Considering this, he started to think it over.

"Divine Doctor Su, are you interested in my Tai Chi skills?"

As Su Fan was lost in thought, Chen Tai hesitated before asking.

"Of course, I am interested."

"Would you like to learn more advanced Tai Chi skills?"

"More advanced?"

Su Fan was startled.

"What do you mean?"

"Come with me."

Chen Tai clenched his teeth as if he had made some sort of determination, led Su Fan into the main room, and locked the door behind them.

Then he climbed the altar adorned with figures of the Three Pure Dao Lords, lifted the hanging painting of the Dao Lords, revealing a hidden compartment behind it.

Chen Tai took out a Jade Pendant from the compartment, jumped down, walked over, and handed it to Su Fan.

Su Fan took it and held it in his hand, immediately feeling an indescribably wonderful sensation surge through him.
