Lin Xi said, "Because the Tai Chi your dad practices isn’t the same as everyone else’s!"
Mu Chen and Mu Rou both turned to look at their father.
Uncle Mu nodded slightly, "What Xiaolin said is right. The Tai Chi I practice does have some movements that are somewhat different from other people’s."
"So when you practice this set, the effects you get are very different from others," Lin Xi said.
"That’s right!" Uncle Mu continued, "For other people, it’s actually just a bit of light exercise."
"And the reason my body stayed this good for so long was because of this set."
"In terms of results, the Tai Chi other people practice isn’t just a little worse than this."
"It’s that effective?" Mu Chen and Mu Rou exchanged a glance.
Then why hadn’t their old man taught it to them?
Seeing the doubt in their eyes, Uncle Mu explained, "The person who taught me said I mustn’t pass it on lightly."
"Even if I do teach it, it must be to someone with an exceptionally good physical constitution."
"And you two—when I told you to work out properly, did you listen?"
A wry smile flashed across Mu Chen and Mu Rou’s faces. So this was why their dad had been nagging them to exercise.
But they’d never taken it to heart.
On top of that, the company really did have too much going on.
So...
"You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? You’re definitely thinking you’ve got too much company work, so you have no time!" Uncle Mu saw through them. "But at the root of it, you’re just lazy!"
"When I was handling the company’s affairs, do you think I was any less busy than you?"
At that, the two of them immediately lowered their heads and fell silent.
"So that’s why I said this is a problem with the Fist Skill, and also with your body," Lin Xi finally explained.
The old man believed what Lin Xi was saying now.
Of course, it wasn’t that he believed it just because Lin Xi said so.
There was something else he hadn’t had the nerve to mention.
That expert had told him that after sixty, he should stop practicing.
Because by then, his body might not be able to take it.
He had long forgotten that line.
Or rather, he had chosen to forget it. After all, he felt that practicing this Tai Chi had been constantly improving his health.
So he hadn’t taken that warning seriously.
He hadn’t expected that now his body would end up with such serious problems.
And he himself hadn’t noticed at all.
Nor had anyone else.
More importantly, he went to the hospital for a full check-up every year, and they hadn’t found anything.
According to Xiaolin, these hidden injuries in his body must have been accumulating for several years.
"So now, should I stop practicing this set?" Uncle Mu asked Lin Xi for guidance. "And what about the hidden injuries in my body?"
Because ever since he pressed those few spots, his whole body had been feeling off.
Lin Xi almost didn’t think before he spoke, "About the hidden injuries first—treating them isn’t that big a problem."
"Of course, if this had been discovered later and you kept practicing for a few more months, the hidden injuries would have surfaced. By then, even if I were here, I might not be able to save you!"
"Xiaolin, you must help me this time!" Uncle Mu hurriedly said.
But as soon as he said that, his son and daughter’s faces both turned very ugly.
In their hearts, they thought, so the fox’s tail finally showed.
