Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 382 - 122: A Mentor’s Wife Is Like a Mother, Visiting the Jiang Mansion

Yu Yongnian: ...

"Lin Chen, Junior Brother Yu has come to find you today to take you to Huizhou Prefecture."

"Huizhou Prefecture? Is it to the Huang Family at the foot of Huang Mountain?"

The first thing Lin Chen thought of was the Mountain Suppressing Chart that he was cultivating, which originally came from the Huang Family in Huizhou Prefecture through the Military Affairs Hall.

"Yes, when I return to Poyang County, my teacher asked me to bring you a message. When you commence Refining the Viscera, it’s best to visit the mansion. My teacher is the Patriarch of the Huang Family."

Upon hearing the word "teacher," Lin Chen showed a look of surprise on his face: "Instructor, your teacher is the Patriarch of the Huang Family, and I am cultivating the Mountain Suppressing Chart, it really is fate."

Lin Chen never expected that Instructor Yu’s mentor would be the Patriarch of the Huang Family. This martial arts circle really is small, and somehow it seems like we are all part of one family.

Yu Yongnian’s face flushed for once, as he knew Lin Chen misunderstood.

It wasn’t him who first became the teacher’s disciple, but because having a student like Lin Chen who was cultivating the Mountain Suppressing Chart, the teacher accepted him as a disciple.

As for fate, it’s all due to Lin Chen bringing this fate to him.

Knowing the inside story, Jia Nanzhu, also seeing Yu Yongnian’s embarrassed expression, changed the topic: "The Mountain Suppressing Chart is a proprietary cultivation technique of the Huang Family. Since the Patriarch of the Huang Family asked you to visit after refining the viscera, it must be related to the Mountain Suppressing Chart, so you should go with Junior Brother Yu."

"I understand."

Lin Chen nodded; the Mountain Suppressing Chart has a total of six layers, and he has only cultivated up to the Second Layer. The reason why he hasn’t cultivated the Third Layer is because, according to Elder Lord Li, it requires Grade Entry Refining.

The Patriarch of the Huang Family asked him to go to Huang Mountain after refining the viscera—does the Huang Family have a method that allows him to cultivate the Third Layer of the Mountain Suppressing Chart while refining the viscera?

"Instructor, shall I follow you to Huang Mountain in a day or two?"

Yu Yongnian was puzzled by Lin Chen’s eagerness and asked, "The official document from the Military Affairs Department has not yet been issued to Poyang County. Don’t you want to wait?"

"From the moment I started refining the viscera, the honor belonging to the Opening Acupoints Realm was in the past."

Lin Chen shook his head. Although he enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight, he knew clearly that the Martial Path for him was just a good start. If he became enamored with these honors, he would lose himself.

"I have no issues with that."

Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, Yu Yongnian understood Lin Chen’s intention and looked at Jia Nanzhu: "Lord Jia..."

"I won’t go to Huang Mountain; I’ll stay here in Linhu Village. If anything happens that the old village head can’t resolve, I can lend a hand."

Jia Nanzhu chuckled as he spoke. Since Lin Chen was going to Huang Mountain to cultivate the Mountain Suppressing Chart, there was no need for him to follow. Over the past few days, he had grown fond of the life in the lakeside village.

As for the unique aspects of Lin Chen’s Viscera Cultivation Method, he needed to consult various books to summarize them, which wasn’t something he could give an answer to in the short term.

"Considering the timeline of the major martial arts academies, you need to reach Canglan Martial Arts Academy within two months. If you’re delayed too long at Huang Mountain, don’t return to Poyang County; go directly to the East Sea Path."

...

...

Half an hour later, Lin Chen, with a bundle on his back, bid farewell to his parents.

After three months of experience at the Special Training Ground, Mrs. Lin already understood that her son’s path on the Martial Path meant he couldn’t stay home for long periods. Although she felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn’t shed any tears.

"Big Brother, I’ll leave the family to you."

"I will take good care of our parents." Lin Liang nodded. "Our parents are always in the village; there won’t be any problems."

"They don’t have to stay in the village all the time; they can visit the town occasionally."

Lin Chen knew his parents stayed in the village, not going out much, to avoid causing him trouble. But now that he had become a model martial arts student of Liang, nobody in Poyang County should dare to bully his parents.

After giving his older brother a few instructions, Lin Chen didn’t say goodbye to his teacher but rode off to meet up with the instructor at the village entrance, and the two headed towards Raozhou Prefecture.

Yu Yongnian had no issues, but naturally, he had to return to Shu Mansion before heading to Huang Mountain.

...

Raozhou Prefecture, Shu Residence!

Lin Chen watched as the instructor dismounted as if he were at home, the servants leading the horse away, and Lin Chen couldn’t help but chuckle. It seemed the instructor had grown accustomed to "eating soft rice," with no objections in his heart.

Looks like the teacher’s wife really trained him well, even managing to handle a straightforward man like the instructor.

Love makes people lose their bottom line...

The Shu Mansion was large, and Shu Suwan had her own separate three-entry courtyard. Yu Yongnian led Lin Chen straight to his senior sister’s courtyard.

"Senior Sister, look who I brought."

Yu Yongnian was in a good mood and announced as soon as he stepped through the courtyard gate. Following behind him, Lin Chen didn’t see his teacher’s wife but spotted another familiar face.

"Young Master Lin!"

The maid Hua’Er, upon seeing Lin Chen, was very excited and ran over.

"Sister Hua’Er."

Lin Chen greeted Hua’Er with a smile. Hua’Er opened her mouth: "Young Master Lin, you’re amazing! I’ve heard from Miss and Master that... that Martial Arts Mountain is... is not a place any ordinary person can climb."

Lin Chen: ...

Watching Hua’Er’s incoherent state, Yu Yongnian burst into laughter as Lin Chen scratched his nose awkwardly and said, "Sister Hua’Er, you’re saying I’m not ordinary."

"I... I didn’t mean that; it’s just that you’re amazing." Hua’Er hurriedly explained, her face flushed bright red.

"Do you two master and disciple enjoy teasing Hua’Er?"

Shu Suwan came out from the room, saw Hua’Er trying to explain anxiously, and cast a mocking glance at Yu Yongnian, making him blush and rub his nose awkwardly.
