At first, Zhang Chengling still excitedly ran over to watch them, thinking he could learn something, but afterwards he realised their fights were too fierce. Aside from learning specialties like “black tiger pulls out heart”, “monkey stealing peaches”, or something like “upending skies”, there was no value-added experience to be learnt. He then immediately lamented that no wonder they were martial arts masters, even their techniques are trimmed down to the basics. Hence, he went back to study his own martial arts orthodoxly step-by-step. 

Yet in the young man’s heart, he still held some annoyance. His shifu kept criticising that his movements were ugly, but does he himself not frequently roll around on the ground in such improper style with senior Wen?

The two top masters had completely fallen to become two top street rats, all the while unintentionally misleading a young man’s growth path.

Then, he looked in Wen Kexing’s eyes. “I’ll ask you this; do you want to live?” The other watched him in silence for a very, very long time. “Will you … leave me?” Smiling lightly, Zhou Zishu shook his head. 

Like his life depended on it, Wen Kexing clenched his jaw, grabbed his hand, and forcibly propped himself up. “Live … why wouldn’t I want to live?, Why couldn’t I live?! All those shameless, vile people of the world get to live? so why … can’t I ..? I have to…” (Tian Ya Ke, Chapter 77) 

The pinning of a hair pin/stick was traditionally reserved for between husband and wife.
