Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 387 - 124: First Battle After Refining the Viscera

"That’s right."

Zhuang Min was very satisfied with Jiang Cheng’s response. She knew why Chu Xi was showing off just now. When Qing’Er first went to the mansion over there, she stole Chu Xi’s spotlight. The little girl wasn’t happy about it, so as soon as she found a good fiancé, she came to show off.

Chu Xi wasn’t bad at heart, and besides, the relationship between the Chu Family and the Jiang Family was special.

"Your father and Qing’Er’s father had a life-and-death friendship back in the barracks; they were brothers through thick and thin."

Just as Zhuang Min finished speaking, a servant hurriedly ran over: "Madam, something’s wrong, the master and a guest are fighting in the front yard."

Zhuang Min: ...

The front yard!

Jiang Duanchao and Chu Ming were standing in the Martial Arts Arena, their momentum continuously rising.

"You bastard, with such a poisonous mouth, I should have let the Demon Race swallow you on the battlefield back then, ungrateful wretch!"

"You Chu Ming saved me once, but I saved you three times. Who’s the ungrateful one, say it clearly."

"Fine, let’s not talk about battlefield matters. I came to visit you with my son-in-law and daughter, and this is how you treat guests? Aren’t you just jealous that I found a good son-in-law!"

"I’m jealous of you?" Jiang Duanchao sneered, "Take a look at yourself, what is there for me to be jealous of? If I wanted to find a son-in-law, I could find any. Just recently, the kid who’s left his name on the Martial Arts Mountain seven times has been loitering at my Jiang Mansion’s gate every day, just trying to see Qing’Er."

"Hahaha! Jiang Duanchao, who would believe you?" Chu Ming laughed out loud, "Qing’Er is indeed excellent, but if Lin Chen really wanders around your mansion every day, I’ll guard the Jiang Mansion’s gate for a month!"

"Dad, don’t!"

"Uncle, you mustn’t!"

Just as Chu Ming said this, Chu Xi and Jiang Cheng’s voices came through.

Walking behind the crowd, Lin Chen touched his nose. He hadn’t been loitering outside the Jiang Mansion every day.

"You’re all grown-ups, still fighting all the time. Jiang Duanchao, Chu Ming, you’re really something."

Zhuang Min’s face turned cold. Jiang Duanchao immediately explained, "Madam, it’s not me who wants to fight, it’s this guy Chu Ming who’s been provoking me."

"Nonsense," Chu Ming retorted, then looked at Zhuang Min, "Sister-in-law, you know your husband’s temper. I came with good intentions, and he just picks a fight for no reason."

"You weren’t visiting me; you came to show off, did you think I wouldn’t see through it?"

"So what if I was showing off? If you’re capable, find a son-in-law to show off too."

Hearing this, Jiang Duanchao glanced at Lin Chen standing behind Jiang Qing and pointed, "Why are you hiding back there? Come out."

"Uncle, are you calling me?"

Lin Chen pointed at himself. Jiang Duanchao said snappishly, "If not you, then who else here?"

Confirming he was being called, Lin Chen walked over.

"Tell him your name."

"Junior Lin Chen greets you, Senior."

Having guessed what his future father-in-law intended, Lin Chen cooperated well.

"Your name is Lin Chen?"

Chu Ming sized Lin Chen up and down, "The exemplary Martial Path student of Liang, Lin Chen?"

"If there’s no second exemplary Martial Path student in Liang, then it’s me."

Lin Chen felt slightly embarrassed, feeling like he was showing off too much. But he had no choice; he was just complying with his father-in-law’s request.

"Chu Ming, now you have nothing to say, so go guard the gate of my Jiang Mansion for a month."

"Wait a minute!"

Chu Ming’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Lin Chen, "Do you really wander in front of the Jiang Mansion every day?"

Before Lin Chen could answer, Chu Ming added, "Such an exemplary Martial Path student should live up to the title and not grovel and speak nonsense to please certain people."

Lin Chen: ...

This Senior Chu’s reaction is quick. In such a short time, he’s already grasped the key point and put me on a pedestal.

"Chu Ming, what’s that supposed to mean, pleasing certain people?"

"Don’t you understand what I mean? Who Jiang Duanchao is, I’m not unclear. I know exactly how many moles are on your butt."

Jiang Duanchao’s forehead veins bulged. Back on the battlefield, his clothes were torn in a battle with a strong Demon Race member, and Chu Ming just happened to be nearby, so naturally, he saw it all.

"Uncle, Uncle Jiang, I have a suggestion."

Seeing the two about to clash again, Jiang Cheng spoke up with a smile, "I’ve heard a lot about Junior Brother Lin’s name. Since Junior Brother Lin has also stepped into the Refining the Viscera realm, how about he and I spar a little?"

Hearing this, Chu Ming’s face broke into a smile. Jiang Cheng has been in the Refining the Viscera for two months, while Lin Chen, if calculated, should have only been in it a few days.

Jiang Duanchao understood this, which is why his brow furrowed slightly. Although he was unhappy with Lin Chen trying to take away his prized daughter, his displeasure was his own affair. Outwardly, he couldn’t let this lad suffer.

"I agree with Senior Brother Jiang’s suggestion."

Lin Chen quickly responded, but Jiang Duanchao frowned and said, "You’ve just started Refining the Viscera not long ago."

"Thank you, Uncle, for your concern. It’s just a friendly spar with Senior Brother Jiang. If I’m not up to it, conceding isn’t disgraceful."

"Jiang Duanchao, what are you being so wishy-washy for when Lin Chen has already agreed? And Jiang Cheng knows his limits; he won’t hurt Lin Chen."

Chu Ming interjected again. His motive for wanting Jiang Cheng and Lin Chen to spar wasn’t to show off his own son-in-law’s strength, but rather out of curiosity about whether Lin Chen, this Martial Arts Mountain seven-time record holder, could continue his invincibility in the Opening Acupoints Realm even after stepping into the Refining the Viscera.
