Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 113 - 16: May Every Liang Citizen Be as a Dragon

"The Water Cloud Palm has also reached Great Success?"

Qiu Rufeng’s originally relaxed demeanor vanished instantly, and his body unconsciously leaned slightly forward while sitting in the wicker chair, his eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

However, in a moment, he frowned and said, "You said that Lin Chen is a disciple of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, but if I remember correctly, Jingshui Martial Arts Hall only accepts female disciples. And that Clear Wind Palm should be the Cultivation Technique of the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall. Is there some inside story here?"

"Teacher, there is indeed an inside story. Back then, Lin Chen succeeded in Qi Cultivation at the Martial Hall..." 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Su Lingchuan recounted how Lin Chen was rejected by the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall and how Shu Suwan intervened, resulting in Lin being accepted as a disciple by the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall but remaining at the Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, and finally why he left the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall to join the Jingshui Martial Arts Hall.

If Lin Chen were present to hear what Lord Su was saying at this moment, he would be shocked at how clearly Lord Su understood the events of his life.

"That girl from the Shu Family indeed knows how to adapt," Qiu Rufeng praised at first, but then his face sank, "As for the Martial Arts Hall Master of the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall and that Vice Hall Master..."

"Teacher, the Martial Arts Hall Master of the Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall, Li Tianqi, is currently at a crucial moment of breaking through to Enter the Grade. The matters of the hall are handled by Qi He, and I have already removed Qi He from the position of Vice Hall Master."

"Not enough!"

Seeing the puzzled look on his disciple’s face, Qiu Rufeng said in a deep voice, "Lingchuan, I know many martial artists enter the court to serve as officials for the cultivation resources from the Imperial Treasury. This is known to both me and the court."

"But you must remember one thing, taking this salary means taking up this responsibility. The position of Martial Arts Hall Master may not seem high, but it has an extremely great influence on the students. As the Director of the Martial Affairs Office, you may manage by inaction, but the Martial Arts Hall Master cannot. Since Li Tianqi wants to focus solely on breaking through to Enter the Grade, let him resign from the position of Hall Master and focus on his breakthrough."

Su Lingchuan’s heart shivered, for although his teacher’s tone was calm, he felt an undeniable authority.

"I understand, once I return to Poyang County, I will take immediate action."

Qiu Rufeng understood his disciple quite well. His abilities were passable, but he was somewhat too small-minded.

"Are you dissatisfied with the request made by that girl from the Shu Family in her letter?"

In front of his teacher, Su Lingchuan could not conceal anything, including the requests made by Shu Suwan in her letter, which he relayed one by one.

"It’s not that I’m dissatisfied, it’s just..."

"Short-sighted and petty!"

Qiu Rufeng shouted loudly, standing up from his chair, "Without Lin Chen and Yu Yongnian, where would you get your achievements in enlightenment? The girl from the Shu Family is securing benefits for Lin Chen. Lin Chen is a student of Poyang County, you are the Director of the Martial Affairs Office in Poyang County. The further Lin Chen goes on the Martial Path, the greater your achievements as Director. You should be grateful to that girl from the Shu Family."

Seeing his own disciple’s face pale, Qiu Rufeng said gruffly, "If you weren’t my disciple, just for expressing dissatisfaction, I would strip you of your position as Director and send you back to Poyang County after exchanging resources at the Treasure Vault."

"I understand my mistake."

Su Lingchuan hastily bowed his head in apology.

"Get out."

"Yes."

Su Lingchuan saluted and bowed out. Just as his steps reached the courtyard gate, a voice came from behind him.

"If Lin Chen truly makes a remarkable achievement, a child from a low-class family could become a model for Jiangnan Dao. Broaden your perspective a bit."

Hearing his teacher’s words of enlightenment, Su Lingchuan paused, a spark of clarity flashed in his eyes, understanding his teacher’s meaning.

He had only been thinking about Raozhou Prefecture, but his teacher was seeing much further.

"Teacher’s teachings, I will remember in my heart."

Turning back to salute again, Su Lingchuan’s eyes were slightly red. Since his breakthrough to Enter the Grade, his teacher hadn’t spoken to him in such "harsh terms" for a long time, and upon reflection, it seemed as though a barrier had grown between teacher and student.

Therefore, upon hearing about the situation between Lin Chen and Yu Yongnian, the teacher was also touched and hence gave this guidance.

He needed to be thankful to Lin Chen and Yu Yongnian for sure!
