Chapter 48: Officially Become a Disciple of Jing Shui Wuguan

Jing Shui Wuguan!

After Lin Chen finished his meal in the cafeteria and returned to the dormitory, stepping into the dormitory area, he saw a servant wandering at the door of his dormitory.

"Young Master Lin, Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu asked me to invite you over."

Seeing Lin Chen appear, the servant also ran over quickly.

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu wants to see me? Trouble you to lead the way, little brother."

Following behind the servant, Lin Chen was also curious in his heart why Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu wanted to see him at this time.

It's not that Lin Chen thinks too much; it's just that this timing is too coincidental.

Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu hadn't summoned him for so many days, and just as he returned from the Qing Feng Wuguan, Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu wanted to see him.

Could it be that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen informed Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu of his situation and wanted him to return to the Qing Feng Wuguan, and had contacted Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu?

With suspicion, Lin Chen was led by the servant to Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's courtyard.

The courtyard gate was open. Lin Chen stepped in and saw Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu standing in the courtyard.

"Disciple Lin Chen has seen Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu."

Kong Yinglei looked at Lin Chen who walked in, thought of what her Jiang Jiang Shijie had told her, a complex look flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Lin Chen, calling you here this time is to inform you that the Qing Feng Wuguan has revoked your Grade A student treatment."

Lin Chen's pupils contracted, and there was shock on his face.

He had his Grade A student treatment revoked?

He could clearly feel the enthusiasm and high regard that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen had for him.

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, is there any misunderstanding in this? Disciple went to the Qing Feng Wuguan today and explained the situation to Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen."

Lin Chen thought of a possibility: a misunderstanding caused by a time difference between the two sides.

It is very likely that before he met Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen, the Qing Feng Wuguan decided to revoke his Grade A student treatment and had already notified the Jing Shui Wuguan, and the Jing Shui Wuguan didn't know that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen had changed his attitude toward him after he met Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen.

"What do you mean by this?" Kong Yinglei asked curiously.

"Disciple went to the Qing Feng Wuguan today because I practiced the Qingfeng Palm to Mastery, and I also met Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen..."

Lin Chen repeated his experience of going to the Qing Feng Wuguan, focusing on Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen's change in attitude toward him.

"You practiced the Qingfeng Palm to Mastery?"

Kong Yinglei's attention was focused on Lin Chen's first sentence, constantly sizing Lin Chen up, and at the same time, she was very impressed with her Jiang Jiang Shijie in her heart.

As expected of her own Jiang Jiang Shijie, her guess about Qihe's thoughts was really accurate.

Qihe didn't even give a Grade A student treatment quota to such a student with such high comprehension in the Qingfeng Palm. It was short-sighted, staring at the few Martial Hall competitions this year. From the perspective of the Martial Hall competition, the speed of students' martial realm improvement was far more worth cultivating than technique comprehension.

"It's a pity."

Kong Yinglei sighed: "This matter doesn't exist as you said, a misunderstanding. The Qing Feng Wuguan sent the news to us a quarter of an hour ago. At that time, you had already met that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen."

A quarter of an hour ago?

Lin Chen's brows knitted together. Based on the distance between the Qing Feng Wuguan and the Jing Shui Wuguan, it took about two quarters of an hour. And he had delayed for a while in the cafeteria. Calculating this way, the Qing Feng Wuguan did indeed send the message after he left.

But he still didn't believe it. If they still wanted to revoke his quota, why would that Yu Yu Jiaoxi Chen still care so much about him and personally demonstrate the "Flying Swallow Formula" for him?

"This year's Martial Hall is different from previous batches. If it were in previous batches, with your comprehension in the Qingfeng Palm, the Qing Feng Wuguan would inevitably give you a Grade A student treatment quota. But this year, the Eight Great Martial Halls have a competition every three months, which is related to the Martial Hall ranking. Comprehension is not that important."

Kong Yinglei directly pointed out the thoughts of the Qing Feng Wuguan to Lin Chen. Lin Chen's eyes had ripples flowing; he understood Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's meaning.

Comprehension lost to silver!

Unless he could show heaven-defying comprehension, but with his current comprehension, it was not enough!

"According to what you said, that Chen Chunfeng values you so much, but couldn't give you Grade A treatment. I'm afraid he will also feel guilty in his heart and will want to carefully point out your practice in the Qingfeng Palm, which can be considered as compensation for you."

Lin Chen's brows were still locked. The Qingfeng Palm reached the Mastery realm, and it relied more on his own understanding. And the booklet Yu Yu Jiaoxi Yu left him had a detailed description of the subsequent realm.

In comparison, he needed this Grade A disciple treatment more.

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, disciple asks shamelessly, does the Jing Shui Wuguan still have a Grade A student treatment quota?"

After a long silence, Lin Chen's sudden opening made Kong Yinglei stunned, her beautiful eyes having a refined light: "The Jing Shui Wuguan currently only has Jiang Qing possessing Grade A treatment, but you are not an official disciple of our Jing Shui Wuguan."

"Disciple is willing to join the Jing Shui Wuguan!"

This time, it was Kong Yinglei's turn to hesitate. Although she appreciated Lin Chen's diligence and hard work on the Martial Way, she was the Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu of the Jing Shui Wuguan and had to consider the pros and cons from the perspective of the Martial Hall.

Grade A treatment, even with the family background of Fu Jingya and others, is extremely eager. Saving twenty-five taels of silver a month, nearly a thousand taels in three years.

If the pursuit of the Martial Way is only the Acupoint-Opening realm, it doesn't matter. But there is organ-practicing later, and the spending is greater. Although after reaching the late Acupoint-Opening stage, one can find ways to earn silver, most martial artists don't earn enough to cover their spending on the Martial Way.

Taking herself as an example, although she is also a strong organ-practicing martial artist, she only has two hundred taels of silver. Staying in the Martial Hall as a Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu, one is to have a sense of belonging to the Martial Hall, and the other is for the martial arts resources provided by the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo.

"You should know that you have comprehension in the Qingfeng Palm, but not necessarily in the Water Cloud Palm. Although I cherish talent, as a Vice Kong Kong Guanzhu, the decision I make must be able to convince everyone!"

Kong Yinglei stared at Lin Chen with bright eyes and continued: "If you are just saying this on a whim, then don't talk about it anymore."

Hearing Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu's words, hope rose in Lin Chen's heart. Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu didn't close the door, so he had a chance.

"Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu, disciple is definitely not on a whim. Disciple is not welcomed in the Qing Feng Wuguan. I think Hall Kong Kong Guanzhu also knows this inside story."

Regarding what Lin Chen said about not being welcomed in the Qing Feng Wuguan, Kong Yinglei knew it well. Lin Chen was originally rejected by the Qing Feng Wuguan, and later joined the Qing Feng Wuguan, but it was just Qihe selling a favor to Inspector Shu.

For such a student, the Qing Feng Wuguan naturally wouldn't take it too seriously.

"Even if you join the Jing Shui Wuguan, I cannot guarantee that Grade A treatment will definitely be given to you, but I can give you a chance. At the beginning of next month, your batch of students will have an internal competition. The top five will be able to get a Grade A treatment quota."

"In this way, are you still willing to join the Jing Shui Wuguan?"

"Disciple is willing!"

Almost without any thinking, Lin Chen agreed.

What he wanted was this opportunity. At least the Jing Shui Wuguan didn't deprive him of his Grade A quota directly like the Qing Feng Wuguan without even giving him a chance.

"Good, then tomorrow I will communicate with the Qing Feng Wuguan and let you officially become a disciple of our Jing Shui Wuguan."

Kong Yinglei was very satisfied with Lin Chen's response attitude. Finally, her beautiful eyes turned, and she said faintly: "If it were someone else, changing Martial Halls would be a bit difficult and would need to be agreed by the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, but you don't need to."

"Is it because of Inspector Shu?"

Lin Chen guessed subconsciously. Although Inspector Shu left, there were still some human relationships in the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo.

"Because the Qing Feng Wuguan didn't report your disciple status to the Poyang Poyang Wuzhengsuo, you shouldn't have the identity badge of the Qing Feng Wuguan on you."

Lin Chen:...
