His true energy protected the boy's internal organs.
"I..." Luo Bing dared not speak.
"Speak, what is a grown man being so indecisive about?"
"Today, someone spoke ill of Xun'er, and I couldn't stand it, so I argued with them, and then we got into a fight..." Luo Bing said, lowering his head.
"Someone spoke ill of Xun'er, and you got into a fight with them?" Lin Xiao sounded somewhat surprised by the reason.
Just a month ago, this little fellow had harbored animosity towards Xun'er. Now, he was fighting with others because of her?
"Yes! Xun'er always does the best in class, otherwise she wouldn't get the little red star every time. They were jealous and said Xun'er only got the little red star because she relied on you, uncle. I said a couple of words to them, and then they started fighting with me." Luo Bing gritted his teeth in pain as he spoke.
Lin Xiao nodded, "Did you win?"
"Of course I won!"
Mentioning victory, Luo Bing immediately perked up. "I beat them up soundly, all three of them. They cried and ran to the teacher! Then the teacher scolded me a bit and took away my little red star."
After saying that, he looked unhappy again. His little red star was gone.
"It's good that you won." Lin Xiao used acupuncture and his own true energy to gently heal Luo Bing's internal injuries and simultaneously left a protective true energy within him to aid his recovery over the next few days.
"Uncle... You... you're not going to scold me?"
Luo Bing had expected Lin Xiao to give him a harsh lecture and punishment for causing trouble by fighting. That was why he had been hesitant to speak up. But upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, "It's good that you won," he was stunned.
He clearly hadn't expected Lin Xiao to actually approve of his actions.
"Why would I scold you?" Lin Xiao asked, puzzled. "You're the older brother, you protected your sister and spoke up for her. Besides, you didn't strike first. They ganged up on you, and you fought back. And you won. Why should I reprimand you?"
"There is one thing I need to admonish you about, though," Lin Xiao added. "If you feel unwell, you should tell me or your aunt."
"Okay."
Hearing Lin Xiao say this, a look of relief instantly appeared on the child's face.
"Also, do you want to learn martial arts?" Lin Xiao suddenly asked.
Perhaps it was the boy's act of protecting his daughter that had stirred something in Lin Xiao's heart, prompting him to ask immediately, "As powerful as your uncle."
How powerful was Lin Xiao? Luo Bing wasn't sure, but he often saw his uncle jump from the building like the martial arts masters on television, like immortals, without getting hurt. He could even leave an imprint on the concrete ground with a stomp.
He was certain that Lin Xiao was an extraordinary martial artist! Even more powerful than the old martial artist in the Luo family from before.
Luo Bing nodded vigorously. "Yes! I want to learn!"
"Alright, then once your body has recovered, you'll train with me... and afterwards, you'll protect your sister well." Lin Xiao said, removing his hand from Luo Bing's body. "Rest now. If you feel uncomfortable, call me or your aunt."
"Okay! Goodnight, uncle."
The current Luo Bing had become exceptionally polite, a completely different person from before.
When Luo Cheng and his wife returned, they wouldn't know how much to thank Lin Xiao upon seeing their son like this.
