Chapter 158

"The Huang family agrees; we will definitely restore your big uncle's reputation and clarify the whole story to the outside world." Huang Jin hurriedly responded.

This matter wasn't difficult to handle; it was just that the Huang family had to lose face again, but they had already lost it a few times, so they didn't care much.

The truly most serious loss was losing the favor of a Dragon-Ascending genius.

Huang Ping trembled all over, not daring to speak.

The mud-legged person he had looked down upon before, now he didn't even have the courage to speak with him.

"This matter should naturally be clarified by us."

Huang Xu also expressed his stance, his intestines turning green with regret.

The Huang family was a small family and really couldn't afford to offend a Dragon-Ascending genius.

"Take your things and leave; from now on, the grudges between me and your Huang family are cleared."

The three didn't dare to say much, calling the servants to carry the things and leave.

After a while, Xu Yang heard Huang Ping's miserable screams, accompanied by the sound of slaps.

"A-Yang, you have truly made something of yourself."

After the three Huang brothers left, Zhou Shunchang excitedly grabbed Xu Yang, full of gratification.

He didn't expect that he not only obtained the Martial Scholar title but also took the Dragon-Ascending spot; the Second Master of the Huang family, who was usually high and unreachable, didn't even dare to let out a fart now.

"A-Yang, you let your big uncle not go to the Huang family; what will he do in the future?"

Although his aunt was happy, thinking that there was no rice in the rice jar at home, she had to say the scene-spoiling question.

"Aunt, rest assured; I successfully ascended the dragon, so the Qiu family can rise by my momentum. They want to share business shares with me, but I don't have time to manage them, so in the future, Big Uncle will help me manage them, and the profits will be split equally between me and Big Uncle."

"How can this be!"

Zhou Shunchang hurriedly declined, although he didn't know how much it would be, it definitely wouldn't be little.

"Big Uncle, don't decline; we are all one family, and I am leaving, so I have to entrust Xiao Qing to you."

The only person he could safely entrust the little girl to was Big Uncle's family; it was safer in the city, and the little girl was growing up, so some things were not easy for him, as a big brother, to teach, and she needed a woman to guide her.

He took out two silver taels and gave them to his aunt, then took Zhou Shunchang and hurried toward the Qiu family.

……

Xu Yang returned to the Weiyuan Hall and found that the outer courtyard was much livelier, and there were even more disciples than before.

He asked An Ye and only then found out that in the martial arts examination, the Weiyuan Hall had six Dragon-Ascending disciples all at once, making a great name for itself, and the number of people coming to apprentice increased.

Entering the inner courtyard, it wasn't very lively here, cold and clear.

Because the disciples who participated in the martial arts examination, except for him, were all injured and were now all recuperating at home and didn't come, so the number of people was less than half.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Xu!"

"Hello, Senior Brother Xu!"

Seeing him appear, these junior brothers in the inner courtyard all stopped to greet him, extremely enthusiastic.

Qiu Wenjie and Tian Li waved from afar; he was about to walk over, but Lin Cheng's voice sounded in his ear.

"Xu Yang, come here to Master."

The voice was Lin Cheng's, but it was very stiff, as if there was no emotional fluctuation, and only he could hear it.

Sound transmission?

Xu Yang was shocked; the distance from where Lin Cheng was was at least thirty meters, and Lin Cheng could actually transmit sound to him from so far away.

"Disciple greets Master!" He soon arrived at Lin Cheng's small courtyard.

Lin Cheng was lying on a lounge chair, and several young mistresses were watering flowers on the side.

"Do you have nothing to do?" Lin Cheng said.

Xu Yang nodded.

Since he said he joined the Lin family, he naturally couldn't go to the Liu family to be a retainer anymore; not only was there nothing to do, but there was also no income.

"Your Senior Brother Sun still needs a period of time to recuperate, and An Ye has little experience; in the future, he will be responsible for the morning, and you will be responsible for the afternoon. Master will pay you five taels a month and provide you with three meals; how about that?"

Hiring a Dragon-Ascending genius for five taels of silver was probably something only Lin Cheng would do.

"Thank you, Master!" Xu Yang cupped his hands.

He didn't dislike it, because he would leave in at most two months, and it was good enough to have someone hire him.

Moreover, Lin Cheng was still taking care of him; one had to know that Sun Tao and An Ye helped teach disciples without getting any money, all working for free.

"Come, Master is in a good mood today; use your Turtle-Snake Great Stance and Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan, and Master will give you some pointers." Lin Cheng sat up from the chair.

This old fox was probably wanting to spy on his martial arts progress again, because he hadn't practiced boxing at the Weiyuan Hall for a long time, and Lin Cheng was afraid he had guessed something.

"Master, disciple wants to learn the sound transmission method you just used; can I? As for the stance and fist technique, disciple won't trouble Master." Xu Yang said sincerely.

Lin Cheng said in a deep voice: "Don't be ambitious; although sound transmission is a small trick, you have to practice Qi to Gang to learn it. The martial arts hall only teaches you the Turtle-Snake Great Stance and Mountain-Shaking Xiong Quan, not because I am reluctant to teach you other things, but because I don't want you to be distracted.

There are also two months before you go to ascend the dragon; what you should do most is reach Qi Gathering Perfection in these two months, and it would be best if you could cleanse your marrow before entering the sect."

Practicing Qi to Gang was a Marrow Cleansing method; actually, one had to practice Qi to Gang to learn this sound transmission.

Xu Yang was a bit disappointed and said honestly, cupping his hands: "Disciple will follow Master's teachings."

It was basically impossible for him to reach Qi Gathering Perfection and charge into Marrow Cleansing within two months; now that he didn't have the monthly allowance from the Liu family, his cultivation progress would slow down.

"Master, when can disciple learn the method of practicing Qi to Gang and cleansing the marrow?" Xu Yang asked, taking the opportunity.

Many people, even if they reached Qi Gathering Major Success, continued to pay two taels of silver to the martial arts hall every month, mainly because the martial arts hall always held the method of practicing Qi to Gang and cleansing the marrow, and they didn't dare to cut off the tuition, worrying that one day they would reach Qi Gathering Perfection but have nowhere to learn the method of practicing Qi to Gang and cleansing the marrow.

Don't look at the fact that there were only forty or fifty inner and outer courtyard disciples in the Weiyuan Hall every day, but in fact, there were at least one hundred people who paid tuition every month.

It was just that most people, although they were still paying tuition, didn't come to the martial arts hall anymore.

Hearing this, Lin Cheng pondered for a moment and said: "The method of practicing Qi to Gang and cleansing the marrow, logically speaking, requires Qi Gathering Perfection, and it will be taught after the martial arts hall reports to the government office.

However, you disciples who successfully ascended the dragon are not included in this list. I originally planned to wait for your other brothers to recover from their injuries and return before teaching you all together.

Since you asked, Master will teach you the Negative Mountain Bear Classic first today."

While speaking, he took a key from his neck and said to a concubine not far away: "Go and get the Negative Mountain Bear Classic."

"Greetings, Mistress!" Xu Yang saluted the mistress who was not much older than him.

"Hmm!"

The mistress smiled at Xu Yang, took the key from Lin Cheng, turned and left, and after a while, returned with a book an inch thick and handed it to Lin Cheng.
