Chapter 134: Lord Jiang, Who Values Words Like Gold

~13 min read 2,490 words

Wu Yuan.

Lin Chen sent away Hall Zhao Kong Guanzhu.

From Hall Zhao Kong Guanzhu's mouth, he finally knew what had happened outside in the past few days.

A few days ago, the Director recommended him to the Martial Administration Hall as the Model Student of Jiangnan Dao, but it was suppressed by the Martial Administration Hall.

The next day, Hongdu Prefecture also recommended a student.

The day after, Wenzhou Prefecture also recommended a student.

In the entire Jiangnan Dao, there are seven prefectures. Except for the Quzhou Prefecture Director supporting him, the other prefectures were either silent or opposed.

"Are you a bit discouraged?"

Yan He'an's figure appeared behind Lin Chen at some point.

"This junior is not discouraged. If someone opposes, it means this junior hasn't done enough."

Lin Chen smiled. Being able to be evaluated as the Model Student of Jiangnan Dao is naturally a good thing, but if he isn't evaluated, he won't be too disappointed.

Having reached this step, he has already revealed his potential and talent, and the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo Director also said that the special training will be the last incentive given by the Martial Administration Hall to these students.

Model Student of Jiangnan Dao has benefits, but I'm afraid it's more about shaping a golden body for himself.

Being evaluated as the Model Student of Jiangnan Dao, any force in Jiangnan Dao that wants to deal with him must be wary of this point.

"Now, except for Quzhou Prefecture and Huizhou Prefecture not recommending students, the other five prefectures have recommended students to compete for this Model Student of Jiangnan Dao."

Model Student of Jiangnan Dao is not something that happens every year.

The last one evaluated as a model was ten years ago.

Yan He'an knew very well that two of these five prefectures were out to stir up trouble. The ones truly qualified to compete, besides Lin Chen, were Li Zhe of Hongdu Prefecture and Song Yueqiao of Wenzhou Prefecture.

He even knew clearly that the Martial Administration Hall suppressed the Raozhou Prefecture's recommendation of Lin Chen because the Huo family was making trouble from behind.

However, there was no need to inform Lin Chen about these things for the time being.

He passed these things to Elder Zhao in a letter, and Elder Zhao's reply was only one sentence: In the face of absolute martial arts strength and talent, any conspiracy and trickery are useless.

"Young Master Lin will be in special training soon. I'm afraid he won't be able to come to the Wu Yuan for a short time. Please take this Thousand Hammer Chart, Young Master Lin."

"Yan Qianbei, this is too precious."

Seeing the Thousand Hammer Chart in Yan He'an's hand, Lin Chen was shocked.

The Thousand Hammer Chart can definitely be counted as a martial arts treasure, especially for martial artists who practice hard-training kung fu, it is truly worth a city.

"Treasures are given to heroes. The Thousand Hammer Chart is just gathering dust in the Wu Yuan. On the contrary, Young Master Lin can exert the value of the Thousand Hammer Chart by carrying it. However, this Thousand Hammer Chart is only temporarily lent to Young Master Lin. After Young Master Lin's special training, it needs to be returned."

Lin Chen pondered for a breath and solemnly clasped his fists: "This junior thanks the senior for the kindness of lending the chart."

Yan He'an handed the Thousand Hammer Chart to Lin Chen: "The Thousand Hammer Chart is made of special material paper, impervious to water and fire, and extremely difficult to tear. Young Master Lin can just carry it with you."

"This junior understands."

"There are people from the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo at the entrance of the Wu Yuan. I think they are here to invite Young Master Lin, so I won't delay Young Master Lin's time."

Yan He'an came to Lin Chen's courtyard because people from the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo came to the Wu Yuan, and Lord Su invited Lin Chen to the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo. He came specifically to notify Lin Chen.

Lin Chen apologized and bid farewell to Yan He'an, walking toward the entrance of the Wu Yuan.

"Young Master Lin, remember one sentence: on the martial arts path, what you ultimately rely on is your own strength. Being at a disadvantage for a while doesn't count for anything. There is a long way to go!"

Just as Lin Chen's figure was about to disappear at the corner of the corridor, Yan He'an finally couldn't help but give a hint.

The Huo family making trouble, Lin Chen will naturally know about this matter in the future.

And since the Huo family stood on the opposite side of Lin Chen, it is extremely likely that they have other moves. Before Lin Chen grows into a Ranked expert, he will not be the Huo family's opponent.

But Lin Chen is not without people. Behind him stands the Poyang Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, stands the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo. The Huo family dare not target Lin Chen openly, not to mention Lin Chen is now a key observation object of the Wu Yuan. As long as Lin Chen can endure, the Huo family cannot do anything to Lin Chen.

What is feared is that he is young and vigorous, cannot bear the grievances, and finally falls into the Huo family's conspiracy.

Lin Chen's footsteps paused. Yan Qianbei's words were pointing to something. It seems Yan Qianbei should know some inside information, related to that dispute over the Model Student of Jiangnan Dao?

"This junior thanks Yan Qianbei for the hint, and will definitely keep it in mind."

Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo.

When Lin Chen arrived, he found that besides Lord Su, there was another eagle-eyed man.

The man's eyes were sharp. The moment he stepped into the main hall, his gaze fell on him, giving him great pressure.

Another Ranked expert, and it is extremely likely that his strength is still above Lord Su.

Eighth rank?

"Are you Lin Chen, a student registered in Linhu Village, Hehe Town, Poyang County, Raozhou Prefecture?"

The eagle-eyed man didn't wait for Lin Chen to salute, and asked directly and sharply.

"Yes!"

"You first came into contact with the Clear Wind Palm at the end of the eleventh month of the 298th year of the Daliang calendar, and after that, the Clear Wind Palm was Perfected in early March of the 299th year. Is this true?"

"True."

"If there is a lie, behead immediately!"

The eagle-eyed man's last sentence came out, murderous. Lin Chen only felt that he was like falling into a cold cave.

"This junior has not lied."

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The eagle-eyed man's momentum converged, and a smile appeared on his face again: "Lord Su, this is this official's duty. I hope Lord Su will forgive me."

"This official understands."

Whether Su Lingchuan really understands, only he himself knows. However, on the surface, he naturally wouldn't express dissatisfaction, wouldn't question why the other party asked like this, which is a distrust of the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo. "According to the oral decree of the Taizu Emperor, the Martial Administration Department has the intention to cultivate students with potential. The Jiangnan Dao Martial Administration Hall has specially set up a genius system. You meet the system requirements. From now on, go to the special training place with this official."

Immediately?

Lin Chen didn't expect the other party to be so fast, not giving him time to pack his luggage?

"Lord Jiang, can you give this official some time to explain some things to Lin Chen."

Su Lingchuan also frowned, but soon relaxed, and said to the eagle-eyed man.

"Lord Su, this is the rule set by the Director. Receive the student and set off immediately, no lingering. It is my duty, I hope Lord Su understands."

Jiang Kui refused, but the next moment continued: "It is my duty, I hope Lord Su understands."

Su Lingchuan didn't expect the other party to be so ungiving of face. He originally had nothing to explain to Lin Chen; what should have been said had long been said.

But he didn't expect Zhao Qifeng to go find Lin Chen privately, and even say that the Martial Administration Hall suppressed the Director's recommendation of Lin Chen. He was afraid that Lin Chen would think too much, so he prepared to comfort him a few words.

"Lin Chen, you follow Lord Jiang to participate in the special training. You must know that this special training is hard-won. You must cherish this opportunity."

"This junior understands."

Lin Chen nodded heavily. Jiang Kui didn't seem to be so unreasonable as not to let Su Lingchuan and Lin Chen say a word. After Su Lingchuan explained a few words, he interrupted: "Lord Su, this official bids farewell."

"I will see Lord Jiang off."

Su Lingchuan personally sent Jiang Kui and Lin Chen to the entrance of the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo. Two jujube-red horses were parked at the entrance. Jiang Kui got on the horse, clasped his fists toward Su Lingchuan, and then raised his horse whip.

Seeing this, Lin Chen had to follow and get on the horse, also clasping his fists toward Su Lingchuan: "My lord, this junior bids farewell."

Two people, two horses, out of the city gate, galloping all the way.

Only half an hour later, they actually reached the Poyanghu water area. Lin Chen was also amazed at the speed of the horses under his crotch. This horse is probably not an ordinary horse.

By the lake, there was a pleasure boat parked.

Jiang Kui was still silent, and after taking Lin Chen onto the boat, he opened his mouth and said: "You just rest in the cabin. When you reach the place, this official will notify you."

Lin Chen nodded, walked into the cabin, and found that there were no windows on both sides of the cabin. The whole thing was a sealed wooden house.

This is not wanting him to know the route to the special training place?

Jiang Kui didn't enter the cabin but stood on the deck. The pleasure boat sailed, flying fast on the lake surface like a bowstring arrow, but it was extremely stable.

Soon, the pleasure boat entered the area shrouded in water mist in Poyanghu.

"Who comes?"

"Martial Administration Hall Jiang Kui."

In the cabin, Lin Chen, who had been sitting silently, heard the dialogue outside the cabin and pricked up his ears to listen.

"Lord Jiang, please wait a moment."

This voice seems somewhat familiar?

Lin Chen listened to the voice talking to that Lord Jiang, thought about it, and immediately recognized the owner of the voice. It was that Lord Lu who took him to the military camp at the beginning.

On the deck, Jiang Kui frowned. In the past, when he took students to the special training place, Poyang Guard would let them pass directly. Why did he have to wait today?

A cup of tea later, Lin Chen heard another familiar voice.

"Lord Jiang, is the student Lin Chen from the Poyang County Martial Hall on the boat?"

Platoon Leader Fang's voice.

Lin Chen didn't expect Platoon Leader Fang to come too.

Jiang Kui looked at Fang Ze and said in a deep voice: "Lord Fang, you should know the rules."

"Lord Jiang, don't misunderstand. This official naturally knows the rules, but a few days ago, Lin Chen helped my Poyang Guard kill a snake demon. This official reported this matter to the Commander, and the Commander bestowed a reward. It's just that this official arrived at Poyang County just now, and only then learned that Lin Chen had already been picked up by Lord Jiang. That's why I sent a pigeon to notify my subordinates to ask Lord Jiang to wait a moment."

Fang Ze was talking nonsense. He hadn't been to Poyang County at all, but he knew that the special training place of the Jiangnan Dao Martial Administration Hall had to pass through the territory under the jurisdiction of the Poyang Guard. He had his subordinates watch the necessary path in advance. Once they discovered the Martial Administration Hall's people, they would notify him immediately.

Hearing Fang Ze mention the Poyang Guard Commander, Jiang Kui fell silent, and his heart was even more surprised. This Lin Chen actually killed a snake demon?

Being able to be rewarded by the Commander, that must be a Ranked snake demon.

An Open-Acupuncture martial artist killing a Ranked snake demon?

"The Martial Administration Hall's rules this official understands. The reward from the Commander, I will trouble Lord Jiang to hand it to Lin Chen."

Fang Ze threw a package toward the boat. Jiang Kui caught it in the air, considering it accepted.

"Let pass!"

The soldiers on both sides gave way to the waterway, and Fang Ze watched the boat leave with a smile.

"My lord, why did you say the Commander gave Lin Chen a reward? This is clearly prepared by you for Lin Chen." Lu Tongzhi watched the pleasure boat sailing into the clouds and mist and asked puzzledly.

"This official is just a Platoon Leader. This Lord Jiang might not necessarily put me in his eyes, but mentioning the Commander is different. Although this official hasn't been to the Martial Administration Hall's special training place, I have seen the Martial Administration Hall pick up people through here several times. Most students stay in the cabin, but there are also one or two times when students can stand on the deck... Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that even in the eyes of the Martial Administration Hall, these geniuses are divided into three, six, and nine grades. This official is telling this Lord Jiang that Lin Chen is not without a foundation, can kill a snake demon, and has entered the Commander's eyes."

"My lord, you are really caring for Lin Chen."

"This official just wants to cultivate a true genius martial artist for the military department."

On the deck, Jiang Kui looked at the package in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face, pondered for a moment, and walked into the cabin.

"This official has been picking up you students for several days, somewhat tired. Before you, seven students have already been sent to the special training place by this official. If you count the other few colleagues, there will be thirty students entering the base in this Jiangnan Dao."

Lin Chen listened to this Lord Jiang say so many words in one breath, somewhat surprised in his heart. He thought this Lord Jiang valued words like gold. It seems this is not the case.

So it was the effect of Platoon Leader Fang's words just now?

"Listening to what that Lord Fang said just now, you killed a snake demon?"
