Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 145 - 31: Lord Li Chases Lin Chen Under the Moon

For that young man, it was like owing a favor to the Li Family. If this young man could reach great heights in the Martial Path in the future, with this feeling of gratitude, if the Li Family encountered trouble, he would not stand by idly.

...

...

A cup of tea’s time passed.

Li Yueshan’s face was as solemn as water, while Li An’s face was pale, and as for Li Qi, she was on the verge of tears.

Tai Rubai and his companion had left!

Li An did not know about this beforehand. It was only when he sent a servant to invite them that he found out Tai Rubai and that young man had already left the residence.

Tai Rubai did not leave without a word. Before leaving, he informed a servant outside the courtyard gate, but because his daughter was directing servants to barbecue in the courtyard, the servant did not inform him immediately.

"Grandfather, I just feared he might hear Sister Wang and our conversation, so I went into his study to check, but I had no intention of driving him away."

Li Qi had never seen her doting grandfather get so angry with her.

He was just a martial arts student from a small county; I didn’t bully him. Who knew he couldn’t even withstand such a small grievance and just left like that? It’s truly impolite.

Li Yueshan said nothing, walked into the courtyard where Lin Chen lived, and went straight for the study.

"Grandfather, this person’s handwriting is terrible, and he still had the nerve to copy your calligraphy."

"Shut up, you fool, you’ve really been spoiled by your father!"

Holding a calligraphy sheet, Li Yueshan couldn’t hold back any longer, and roared so loudly that the entire study shook.

"Father!"

Seeing his beloved daughter being scolded, Li An couldn’t help but want to argue.

"And you... you two are really going to drive me mad."

Li Yueshan pointed to the manuscript in his hand: "This ’Stone Soul Sticker’ was written when I first entered the Seventh Grade. Before forty, I reached the Sixth Grade Realm, and my Horizontal Training reached the Realm of Limit-Breaking. I was so spirited, thinking no one in the world could compare to me."

"The writing reflects the person; the writing reveals the character."

"The essence contained in this ’Stone Soul Sticker’ is not obvious to ordinary people. Only Martial Artists who practice Horizontal Training and with profound understanding in Horizontal Cultivation Method can perceive the Horizontal Training Intent Realm in this calligraphy."

Li Yueshan pointed to the ink marks not yet dry: "You feel it’s unlike mine because, when I wielded the pen, there was pride in my heart, but the tip of the pen here shows sharpness without breaking, and the line returns like a trembling spear tip — even I can’t compare to this mental state."

Li An and Li Qi exchanged a glance, disbelief in their eyes.

How old is that young man? How could he possibly be more formidable than Father (Grandfather)?

Li Yueshan sighed longingly in his heart; if he had such a state of mind at forty, he might not have stopped at the Sixth Grade, and reaching the Fifth Grade or higher might not have been impossible.

"Follow me!"

Li Yueshan put down the manuscript and walked towards the door with a stern expression.

"Father, where to?"

"To bring him back."

"Bring him back?"

Li An was incredulous. Tai Rubai and the young man had been gone for two hours. How long would it take to catch up to them?

"Father, it’s already late. How about I go bring him back tomorrow?"

"A person whose pen shows sharpness beyond hardness surely has a proud bone. If you go, you’ll bring back nothing but trouble. I will go personally, and you two will follow, especially—"

Li Yueshan took a deep breath and looked at his grandson: "Qi’Er, perhaps my earlier words were harsh, but the future prospects of this young man are vast, even beyond my imagination. Forming a bond with him could safeguard our Li Family for the next twenty years. Your father cannot support the entire Li Family alone."

These words made Li An’s face look somewhat unpleasant, but he knew his father spoke the truth. Though it was uncomfortable, he still accepted it.

"Grandfather, Qi’Er understands. When we bring him back, Qi’Er will apologize to him."
