Chapter 527: Chapter 0529: Chu Ge’s Disciple

Huo Tianqian’s martial arts skills are formidable; the fact that he would treat Chu Ge with such deference has been evident to all in recent days as he busied himself before Chu Ge.

Why else would such a master demonstrate such humility towards another if not because the latter’s martial arts skills surpassed his, compelling his respect?

Tang Haowan’s desire to form an alliance with Chu Ge was now even more certain.

It’s a pity that their current relationship with the Tang Sect is so entangled and complex; otherwise, he would have cut ties with the Tang Sect and come to an agreement with Chu Ge directly.

Of course, that was merely his wishful thinking.

Whether Chu Ge was willing was a different matter altogether.

But for the moment, he still hoped to make a match—if the Shen Family could come to an agreement with Chu Ge, their future was surely bright.

"Mr. Chu, is this Mr. Huo your disciple?" Shen Wei Qian asked with some surprise.

He too had been impressed by Huo Tianqian’s martial arts skills. As ordinary people, they could not understand the trickery involved with Lin Zhang; they merely saw Huo Tianqian effortlessly lifting his hand and repelling Lin Zhang, which they found truly remarkable.

Chu Ge slightly nodded his head. If one were to talk about a master-disciple relationship, he should be considered Huo Tianqian’s master. It was he who led Huo Tianqian into the world of Ancient Martial Arts and constantly helped him improve his martial arts skills.

Although these matters were never a concern to him, let alone something he took to heart, it did not mean they hadn’t happened.

Huo Tianqian also nodded, "Mr. Chu is not only my master but also my rebirth parents. Without Mr. Chu, there would be no me today."

Shen Wei Qian thoughtfully nodded his head. He sighed softly, an idea forming in his mind, but he worried that speaking it out so directly would seem abrupt.

Tang Haowan watched Shen Wei Qian’s embarrassed demeanor, knowing well what he was thinking. Thinking of his beloved grandson lying in bed because of Ancient Martial Arts and suffering so much, he no longer wanted his family involved with the path of Ancient Martial Arts.

He even contemplated slowly disengaging the Tang Family from the Tang Sect, severing all connections to Ancient Martial Arts forever.

But reality is always cruel. The relationship between the Tang Family and the Tang Sect cannot be so easily cut off or dissociated.

Moreover, now that the Lin Family has also become involved with Ancient Martial Arts, power distribution in Su City will inevitably change.

Shen Wei Qian wanted to say something but stopped, his gaze inadvertently meeting with Tang Haowan’s eyes. Tang Haowan shook his head slightly at him, and Shen Wei Qian understood what he wanted to say.

They had been brothers for many years and had been rivals for thirty years. As the saying goes, know your friend and know your foe, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles; each understood the other all too well.

Just one look was enough to comprehend the other’s intentions.

Shen Wei Qian slightly nodded his head, swallowing the words he wanted to say.

Lin Zhang and Lin Lu came out of the private room, and just as they reached the stairs, Lin Zhang could no longer bear it. His legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

Lin Lu staggered as well because of Lin Zhang’s sudden fall.

"Son! Son, what’s wrong with you?" Lin Lu looked at the expression of pain on Lin Zhang’s face, his hands flailing helplessly, not knowing what to do.

By chance, a woman in a red dress appeared around the corner. She saw Lin Lu and Lin Zhang and slightly furrowed her brow, "Mr. Lin, what has happened to you?"

Lin Lu heard the voice and turned his head, as if seeing a savior.

"Master Hua, you’ve come at just the right time. Please, come and see my son. What’s wrong with him?"

The newcomer was none other than the sect leader of the Huayue Sect, Hua Liuyue. She looked down at Lin Zhang, her brow furrowed, "First, let’s get him into a room."

In a private room, Lin Zhang lay on the ground in agony.

Lin Lu briefly explained to Hua Liuyue what had happened earlier, conveniently omitting the fact that they had started the altercation.

After listening, Hua Liuyue looked at him with displeasure, "Are you saying you’ve already told someone else about our partnership?

Lin Lu was startled for a moment.

That doesn’t seem to be the point...

The point is how his son got injured! The point is who injured his son!

"Master Hua, please, I’m begging you to check on my son first. He’s my only son, and if something were to happen to him, I wouldn’t be able to live with myself."

Lin Lu looked at his son’s painful expression, his heart torn as if by knives; he wished he could take all his son’s pain onto himself.

Hua Liuyue, considering that she still needed support in Su City, managed to suppress her displeasure for the moment.

She squatted down, her delicate hands reaching for Lin Zhang’s wrist, slowly infusing True Qi into his body.

Lin Zhang’s agony was due to the True Qi she had previously infused into him being struck by an external force, causing a backlash against his internal organs.

That was why he was in such pain.

The True Qi slowly flowed into Lin Zhang’s body, the warmth soothing his pain.

Gradually, the pain subsided, and Lin Zhang slowly opened his eyes, hearing a familiar voice by his ear.

"Son, how are you feeling now?" Lin Lu asked anxiously.

Lin Zhang pulled his thoughts back and shook his head slightly. His eyes swept across the room and landed on Hua Liuyue’s exquisite face. His heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly sat up.

"It’s Master Hua, thank you for saving my life," he said.

Lin Zhang felt a surge of depression in his heart.

Hua Liuyue gazed meaningfully at Lin Zhang, her hand lightly touching his forehead. Her soft fingers touched his forehead to test the True Qi inside his body, which was now back to normal.

Because of her touch, Lin Zhang’s heart skipped yet another beat. His gaze shied away, not daring to look at Hua Liuyue any longer, and his ears reddened inexplicably.

Hua Liuyue didn’t pay further attention to Lin Zhang. She slowly stood up and asked Lin Lu, "You just said, you were up against the disciple of Chu Ge?"

Lin Lu nodded, "That person was promoted to Ancient Martial Artist through Chu Ge."

"What’s his name?" Hua Liuyue narrowed her eyes slightly. She hadn’t noticed the presence of so many high-level practitioners of Ancient Martial Arts by Chu Ge’s side?

"Huo Tianqian." Lin Zhang uttered through gritted teeth. He noted this grudge; once he furthered his cultivation, he vowed to make Huo Tianqian pay for today’s humiliation!

Hearing the name Huo Tianqian, Hua Liuyue’s eyes widened in shock, unable to hide her disbelief.
