Chapter 82: Ch. 38 Part 3

"So junior who is named Lin, what do you want from me?" Lin finally asked not able to hold it down looking at the chatter box in front of him.

"Ah yes! This!" Cheng Lin quickly took out the martial arts book Yanzhi gave him and showed it to Lin. "Master Jun gave me this! He said he will let you guide me and give me some pointers. But it’s been long and I haven’t heard from master Jun!" Cheng Lin’s voice sounded from cheerful to sad and then depressed.

Lin’s expression changed at fast paced from cold to smiley and joyful, he could recognized at first glance his master’s techniques. And he believed Cheng Lin’s words of it being gifted by Yanzhi, since knowing that no one can steal or take Yanzhi’s martial art books without him personally giving it out.

"Oh it’s the tai chi palm! Little brother since you have this then it means master has good impression of you, then i as your senior brother will personally guide and teach you. You can follow me from now on!" Lin beamed brightly and hanged his arm around Cheng Lin’s neck as if buddies who have been together for years. He took Cheng Lin under his wings at once. The others who waited with Cheng Lin smiled brightly and were envious of him ah! Thinking how could good things only happen to Cheng Lin, he was first gifted with a good martial arts technique and now he was recognized by powerful brothers without having to say much, it was really envious!

"Thank you senior brother Lin! I will follow you forever!" Cheng Lin sold points!

"En! En! That’s how it should be, we both have similar techniques" Lin’s laughter echoed around them.

"Well things are settled now. Elder brother we’ll leave first, Mei Lin and I still have things to do!" Feng said waving his folded fan "come, let’s go." he said to Mei Lin, she cupped to Lin and Baihu before following behind Feng.

The villagers started to disperse seeing that things were settled now and there was no more fun to watch. They discussed the events as they were in awe.

"So Jun family’s eldest son was actually a martial arts master with disciples! Ah so envious! It’s a pity for the Jun family, they’ve lost a Buddha without even knowing!"

"Now that i think about it, isn’t it that the village head’s family already knew?!" someone asked, as others gasped in disbelief.

"Yes! Yes! think about it. The village head and his family suddenly changed their attitudes towards the Jun family and rather scurry favors with Yanzhi!" Someone pointed out.

"And also all the village head’s children started following Yanzhi, isn’t it that they are learning martial arts from Yanzh?!!!" another one hit the iron while it’s hot.

The villagers had pained expressions looking like they’ll die any soon from envy.

"Ah! if i had known i would...."

"You would what? Black-hearted people! Only recognize people if they have things to offer!" The villagers head’s wife who was following behind scolded angrily, she pushed them aside and walked away cursing them.

"Wh-what? black-hearted people? It’s you who have black heart, keeping good things for yourselves!" the woman who was scolded by the village head’s wife was flustered and cursed back annoyed and gasping in disbelief.

"You... little brother Lin...." Lin’s catching up chat was interrupted, he turned to see Xiangli and Xiangyi fidgeting nervously in wanting to talk to him. He glanced at then lightly as he had little impressions of the Jun family, but apart from Xangren he was instructed by Yanzhi to threat the other siblings with respect.

"Young masters, you need me for something?" he saluted asking respectfully.

"Actually, we wanted to ask when elder brother and elder sister-in-law will be back?" Xiangyi asked.

"Master’s return, we are also not sure." he answered truthfully since Yanzhi didn’t tell them when they’ll return. He saw both Xiangyi and Xiangli’s depressed expression after he answered them. "Is there something you need? If it’s something small maybe i can help you with" he offered.

"Thank you little brother Lin, but actually we wanted to talk to elder brother. It’s alright, we will wait for when he returns." Xiangyi informed before they both returned back to continue with the construction.

Lin watched them walk away before he turned back to mind his own business. Brother Song the whole time the events unfolded watched silently, and after the events he went back to instruct people to work. But unlike the villagers who birthed thoughts of approaching Yanzhi to have him teach their children martial arts, brother Song and his workers didn’t have such thoughts at all, they weren’t greedy for things like the villagers.

The villagers kept approaching Lin and Baihu asking them questions and asking them to teach their children. Lin and Baihu smiled and tolerate them sending them away with ’its only my master who decides who to teach, please wait for master’s return’ in a polite manner. Although the villagers weren’t happy with that but they leave them with the thoughts of waiting for Yanzhi, since Yanzhi was one of their people from the same village, sooner or later he would return.

Just like them the Jun family also had similar thoughts, father Jun and the rest were enthusiastic about Yanzhi’s return.

And so were the Xiao family who had long given up on Xiao Ling, but now with things like this. They remembered the son whom they’ve sold and had long forgotten about.

With this, in big stone village, a storm of schemes were being brewed by every greedy family.

***

Master Zhang sitting in the moving carriage was in deep thoughts. His thoughts were about the martial arts displayed by Yanzhi’s disciples which all he had never seen nor heard of before. He was in awe of the martial arts techniques, especially the one displayed by Lin which glowed with golden light of Buddha. Even though he was disgraced by his disciples, but he got to see powerful techniques, it was a pity that he couldn’t learn the techniques from just seeing them once.

**********

[Jinhua’s Father’s Residence In The Capital City.]

The discussions between them lasted for several hours as Yanzhi and Xiao Ling were informed of the ins and outs of the capital and everything that was going on, even things involving official matters both private matters. Jinhua’s father wasn’t in favor of such matters being told to outsiders, but Jinhua didn’t care about that since to him Yanzhi was far more powerful than the emperor and his ministers. Both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling just listened quietly, but in fact they really had no care for things happening in the capital, but either way it was good to know too. In any case things become chaos and affects the village where they’ve taken us their territory, they need to prepare for such cases and what to do if such things were likely to happen.

King Pingxi’s previous arrogance could no longer be seen after seeing just a tad bit of things Yanzhi could do. He knew now that his thoughts of recruiting Yanzhi to his side were naive, because it was impossible for both Yanzhi and Xiao Ling to work under others.

By the time Yanzhi, Xiao Ling along with Yue and Tan Fan returned to the courtyard given to them for their stay, the sky had started to darken. King Pingxi offered them to have dinner with them, but Yanzhi flatly rejected his kindness. He planned for them to no longer eat normal food, but food containing spiritual energy so Xiao Ling wanted to cook their dinner. Because of that all servant sent by Jinhua to take care of their needs were rejected and sent back. Chang and the others others seeing their return were very happy, Yanzhi stayed with them to check on their training as Xiao Ling went to the kitchen with Yue and Liu holding the magic beast’s meat given by YanZhi.

It took less than an hour for Xiao Ling to prepare several dishes with the assistance of Yue and Liu, dinner was served as they all sat down to eat together including Tan Fan. Tan Fan was stunned by such attitude Yanzhi and Xiao Ling had for their subordinates, to the extent of even eating at the same table together, he was full of praise of the couple. He was glad of his decision of staying with the couple.

Lixin, Xile, no. 6 and 7 were yet again depressed of their share of the magic beast’s meat. Because their cultivations was very low, they were given about four or five pieces each because that was the amount they could absorb a day, anymore and they’ll suffer qi deviation. They made up their minds to train very hard and advance so that they could eat the same amount as the rest. Tan Fan was given two to three more than that of Lixin and the rest, although Tan Fan wasn’t yet introduced to cultivation, but with the internal force energy he could harness and manifest. Yanzhi gave him the amount he could absorb too. After dinner, Yanzhi gave each of them a spiritual fruit each before sending them off to bed, leaving only him, Xiao Ling and Tan Fan.

"I want you to take me to your base, there’s someone i am searching for" Yanzhi said to Tan Fan.

"The person who was the reason your excellency helped me?" Tan Fan asked

"En!" Yanzhi nodded.

"I dare ask your excellency what the name of the person is...you see some members of the begger’s sect were lost in the subjugation led by the fifth prince" Tan Fan asked and explained.

"Gouzhi, he said to metion this name when searching for him."

Tan Fan’s mood suddenly changed to sad, he sighed. "Your excellency is searching for Gouzhi, he survived but... it’s better for your excellency to see for yourself. If it’s okay with your excellency i can take you there in tomorrow." Tan Fan said with emotions.

Yanzhi nodded "take me there tomorrow." he stated. His eyes flashed with unknown emotions too hearing how Tan Fan spoke of the person he was searching for. Since Jinhua’s and doctor Shi’s marriage ceremony would take place in three days time, they had two days time of doing nothing. So instead of sitting at one place and doing nothing, Yanzhi would rather he does other things and look around with Xiao Ling while they wait for the day of the marriage.
