Chapter 70: Hesitant Zhang Lingyu! Lao Tianshi

~8 min read 1,433 words

As a hundred-year-old antique, Lu Jin naturally understood what a massive sensation Lin Xuan's type of lightning technique could cause.

Lu Jin also knew that Fang Dongtian's side had also considered the potential consequences, which was why they told them not to spread the word.

"Understood!"

Lu Lin nodded.

"In this Outsider world, every once in a while, a monster appears; this time it happened at Baiyun Guan, they really got lucky!"

As Lu Jin thought about it, he couldn't help but speak up.

It was clear that he was quite envious.

……

Baiyun Guan, which had just become lively, returned to quiet after only a day or two.

After all, this wasn't some major assembly; the various parties had just come to show their faces and then returned.

Those who didn't know the specific situation were even more so, with many leaving that very day.

Lv Ci returned to the Lü Family, and naturally, there was another round of chaos.

Regarding the inquiries from the younger generation, Lv Ci naturally kept his mouth shut.

However, he became even more attentive to the training of the younger generation.

On the contrary, Zhang Lingyu returned to Longhu Mountain from Baiyun Guan, his mind heavy with thoughts along the way.

He had naturally heard Fang Dongtian's words.

But Zhang Lingyu thought of Uncle-Master Tian on the mountain.

He didn't know how this Uncle-Master Tian had become the way he was, but since the head of the Lü Family could regrow destroyed eyes, could it be possible for Uncle-Master Tian as well?

But Zhang Lingyu also understood that the outcome of him bringing it up himself was unknown, so he hadn't spoken up at all at the time.

And now that he had returned to Longhu Mountain, he wanted to report this matter to his master.

But there was the matter of Fang Dong.

After thinking about it, Zhang Lingyu still felt that Uncle-Master Tian's situation was more important, even if it meant bearing some bad reputation.

He would personally apologize to Lin Xuan when the time came.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Lingyu arrived at the residence of Lao Tianshi.

Nowadays, the Tianshi Mansion didn't need the Tianshi to personally attend to every small matter; those senior martial brothers of Zhang Lingyu would naturally handle things properly.

So Lao Tianshi usually didn't have much to busy himself with.

"Come in!"

Before Zhang Lingyu could speak, Lao Tianshi's voice rang out from the room.

"Master!"

After entering, Zhang Lingyu performed a salute.

"Looking at you, did something happen this time?"

Lao Tianshi had watched Zhang Lingyu grow up and was naturally very familiar with this disciple.

Seeing Zhang Lingyu's expression now, he knew there was something on his disciple's mind and asked directly.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyu nodded, then earnestly recounted the situation he had seen and heard at Baiyun Guan.

Lao Tianshi didn't interrupt, listening quietly.

"Fang Qianbei asked us to keep this matter confidential, but regarding Uncle-Master Tian..."

Zhang Lingyu finished his account and then gave a bitter smile.

"You did the right thing; I will personally apologize when the time comes."

Lao Tianshi's face could not hide his shock, and after hearing Zhang Lingyu's words, he waved his hand and said.

"Master will go personally??"

Zhang Lingyu was startled.

"What of it? If it is truly as you say, and Uncle-Master Tian's limbs can be restored, I would even kowtow to him."

Lao Tianshi said, waving his hand, then stood up and paced back and forth.

"I really underestimated this little fellow; these methods are indeed comparable to those land Immortals of ancient times."

Lao Tianshi sighed.

"Yes, when this disciple saw it, my mind was also a blank; Daoist Lin was wrapped in white clouds, truly appearing like one among the Immortals."

Zhang Lingyu nodded earnestly.

"However, there is no rush for this matter."

Lao Tianshi thought for a moment and then waved his hand.

Zhang Lingyu had just described what happened and the conversation at the time.

But if Lin Xuan were to go into seclusion with this level of strength, he probably wouldn't be coming out for a short time.

Of course, it was possible he might come out occasionally.

"I will test the waters first!"

Lao Tianshi thought about it and directly took out his phone to dial Fang Dongtian's number.

"Old Fang, it's me, Zhang Zhiwei!"

The call connected, and Lao Tianshi identified himself directly.

"Alright, I won't waste words; I'll only say one thing: you know the situation of my junior brother."

Lao Tianshi said into the phone, pausing for a moment as if listening to the person on the other end.

"Mm, I will apologize to you in person for this matter, but regarding my junior brother, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble that lad of yours this time."

"Rest assured, that is certain. I wouldn't insist on right now either; since this kid is in seclusion, I won't force it. So, what is the approximate timeframe?"

Lao Tianshi asked with a moment of hesitation.

"You aren't sure either?"

"Alright, I understand. When he comes out, please trouble yourself to let this old Daoist know, and I will head over directly then."

"Mm, thank you very much for this time."

"One thing at a time; when the time comes, just let the Lin kid decide for himself. I won't put you in a difficult position."

"Of course, as for my Longhu Mountain, whatever this kid takes a fancy to is fine; this old Daoist will certainly not be stingy."

"What, do you still look down on the methods of my Tianshi Mansion?"

Lao Tianshi said with a glare.

"That's true, this kid's methods are indeed astonishing. Fine, we'll be in touch then."

After speaking, Lao Tianshi hung up the phone, yet his expression did not relax.

"Master?"

Zhang Lingyu asked softly.

"Lin Xuan is in seclusion, and the folks over at the Company don't know when he will emerge either. Previous seclusions have been long and short, and since we are the ones asking for a favor this time, we cannot force him to come out of seclusion."

"Then we shall wait."

After saying this, he shook his head slightly.

"By the way, do not speak of this to anyone else, including your Uncle-Master Tian."

"Yes!"

Zhang Lingyu naturally obeyed his master's order.

"Furthermore, do not think about comparing yourself to Lin Xuan in the future; such a person cannot be compared to."

Lao Tianshi reminded him once again.

Although he had previously hoped someone could suppress the arrogance of his disciples.

But now, seeing the situation Lin Xuan had displayed, Lao Tianshi was worried his disciple would be discouraged.

"I understand. Daoist Lin has the bearing of a celestial; this disciple is clear about his own abilities and naturally will not reach for what is beyond his grasp."

"That is for the best. In the time that follows, I shall teach you the Thunder Method."

"Yes!"

Zhang Lingyu nodded.

He had long yearned for the Thunder Method.

Especially after seeing the Thunder Method Lin Xuan mastered at Baiyun Guan.

"Additionally, do not compare our Five Thunders Orthodox Method with Lin Xuan's Thunder Method. His words were truly not wrong; it might really be the Yimu Divine Thunder."

Lao Tianshi reminded him once again.

Worried that his disciple would be discouraged, he was truly worn out with concern.

Fortunately, Zhang Lingyu was already somewhat numb to it now.

If Lin Xuan were stronger than him, but the gap was visible, Zhang Lingyu might still have had some thoughts.

But now, Zhang Lingyu could no longer fathom Lin Xuan.

Naturally, he would not be discouraged.

He would not truly compare himself to Lin Xuan in his heart at all.

Because it had already lost its meaning.

The Company's pursuit of the members of Quanxing continued.

At the very least, it would last for three months.

This was, in fact, also a warning.

Even if the people of Quanxing were lawless, they could only hide under these circumstances.

If they really let these people clash with the Company, they wouldn't be that foolish.

Moreover, it was clearly visible this time that the Company had truly made up its mind.

Even the experts of Quanxing who were confident in their own methods were now hiding away quietly.

Baiyun Guan had also become completely quiet; the mountain gate was reopened, and the faithful came up the mountain to pay their respects.

Lin Xuan remained in seclusion, rarely going out, with the Snake Immortal standing guard, just as always.
