Aurora was feeling shy and embarrassed, unsure of how to begin the conversation.


    With a warm smile, Charlie broke the ice, saying, “Are you still the same Aurora I remember? The one who bravely raised her hand at me back on Antique Street? Why does the Aurora standing before me now seem so hesitant to speak?”


    Hearing this made Aurora even more bashful. She responded nervously, “Master Wade, I didn’t realize how powerful and capable you were in the past. That’s why I failed to recognize your incredible talent back then. Please don’t tease me anymore.”


    As she spoke, a memory shed in Aurora’s mind—Charlie had given her a yful kick that day. Though she felt a wave of embarrassment, it also brought her a sense of joy, making her feel like a little girl again.


    Summoning her courage, Aurora said to Charlie, “Master Wade, I actually wanted to invite you to the International University Combat and Fighting Championship taking ce in Aurous Hill this year.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie frowned slightly, asking, “The International University Combat and Fighting Championship?”


    Suddenly, a thought struck him. Liam had mentioned that Kobayashi Pharmaceutical was sponsoring the event to promote their new stomach powder.


    Recalling that Aurora had been practicing her fighting skills, he asked curiously, “Aurora, are you participating in thispetition?”


    Blushing, Aurora nodded and replied, “Master Wade, I will be representing the students from China University this time…”


    “Oh?” Charlie said, his surprise evident. “That’s incredible! Do you feel confident about winning the championship?”


    Aurora shyly admitted, “I can’t say for sure that I will win because my opponent from Japan is very strong. She’s currently the favorite to take the championship, and her skills are definitely superior to mine.”


    After saying this, she added, “However, I won’t be discouraged. My goal is to ce in the top three!”


    Charlie smiled and encouraged her, “Dreams only be reality if you dare to pursue them. I truly believe you have what it takes to win! You shouldn’t have any trouble iming first ce. Remember, many Japanese fighting techniques are rooted in our own Chinese martial arts. Go out there and bring glory to our country!”


    Aurora’s eyes sparkled with joy as she asked, “Master Wade, do you really think I can take first ce?”


    Charlie nodded confidently, “Absolutely! I have high hopes for you!”


    With newfound excitement, Aurora asked, “Master Wade, can I invite you to watch thepetition?”


    Charlie agreed without hesitation, saying, “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely be there to cheer you on.”


    “That would be perfect!” Aurora eximed, jumping up in happiness.


    She instinctively felt like hugging Charlie, just as she would her father at home. But then she remembered that Charlie was a married man, causing her to pull back quickly, realizing she shouldn’t behave so intimately.


    At that moment, Charlie asked, “By the way, Aurora, I gave your family two magical pills before. Did your father give one to you?”


    “Yes!” Aurora replied, reaching into her coat’s inner pocket to pull out a small box. She opened it to reveal the magical pill Charlie had given her.


    Her cheeks flushed as she said, “My father gave me the medicine from Master Wade that very night, and I’ve kept it close ever since.”


    Charlie nodded and exined, “This medicine can also help improve your physical fitness. If you start feeling overwhelmed during thepetition, you can take this pill.”<fn40cf> Follow current nov?ls on find?novel</fn40cf>


    Aurora eximed, “How could I do that? Master Wade gave me this medicine, so I have to cherish it and take good care of it!”


    Chuckling, Charlie replied, “This medicine is meant for people to use, so why hold back?”


    Aurora thought for a moment before saying, “Alright, Master Wade. I understand.”
