Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 561 Clues
The other members of the Ye family were not very happy about Lin Qianxing asking Ye Zhong to stay.
However, they did not say much, for fear that if they offended Lin Qianxing, he would stop teaching them martial arts.
While Lin Qianxing was teaching the others, Ye Zhong was also learning on the side.
He has good talent and studies very hard, but his body is disabled and his internal energy cannot be fully circulated, so the effect he can play is much smaller.
Lin Qianxing looked at the purple air above his head and decided to give him some special treatment.
After the morning class, Lin Qianxing quietly asked him to come to his yard at noon.
After hearing Lin Qianxing's words, Ye Zhong looked a little confused. He didn't quite understand why Lin Qianxing was looking for him.
But he still nodded heavily to show that he understood.
This opportunity is hard to come by, he must seize it.
Since his mother's death, his life in the Ye Mansion has indeed been extremely difficult.
It’s not that there is a shortage of food and clothing.
But from top to bottom, no one gave him basic respect.
His father had never seen him before, and his brothers and sisters all cursed and despised him, and some even went so far as to humiliate him.
Even the servants sometimes looked disgusted. If they were not worried about being punished by their masters, they would probably just throw themselves aside and ignore them.
He has been trying hard to be independent, but he is young and disabled, so there is not much he can do. Moreover, the Ye family is unlikely to let him go easily. After all, if he goes out and embarrasses himself, it will also be a loss of face for the Ye family.
Rather than letting the Ye family lose face, they would rather keep this useless person around and ignore him.
This time, when he heard that Lin Qianxing had defeated five of his family's instructors while sitting on the ground with his sword still unsheathed, he began to have an idea.
Lin Qianxing has such martial arts skills even when sitting on the ground. If he learns it, he may have such strength even if he sits in a wheelchair.
So even though he really didn't want to meet the young masters and ladies in those mansions, he still came to the martial arts arena.
As expected, he was once again subjected to a round of curses and insults.
Soon, he saw Lin Qianxing.
This head instructor did not, like the previous instructors, euphemistically say that he could not study because of his disability. Instead, he treated him equally and allowed him to study hard.
It's not pity, but truly treating him as a human being like everyone else.
For the first time, he felt respected.
Because of this, he felt that he should study martial arts even harder, strive to gain strength sooner, and gain the respect of others.
It was noon, and Ye Zhong, who had been waiting outside the courtyard gate half an hour earlier, said, "Master Lin, are you here?"
"Come in." Lin Qianxing said while sitting in the pavilion in the yard.
As the chief instructor, he was entitled to a separate courtyard of his own.
This is the status that comes with strength.
Ye Zhong entered the courtyard and came to a place not far in front of Lin Qianxing. He bowed and said, "Ye Zhong greets Master Lin. Thank you for treating me equally and teaching me martial arts. Unfortunately, Ye Zhong is ill and cannot perform the ceremony. I hope Master Lin will not take it to heart."
"I'm paid by your family, so it's my duty to teach you," said Lin Qianxing.
"No matter what, I still have to thank Instructor Lin." Ye Zhong shook his head.
"Okay, stop saying thank you or not. You have a physical defect, so the internal breath technique you learned won't be able to fully exert its effect. You'd better try another internal breath technique." Lin Qianxing said.
Ye Zhong heard the voice and realized that this was his chance, so he quickly jumped off the wheelchair, prostrated himself on the ground, and kowtowed to Lin Qianxing, saying, "Please give me some advice, Master Lin."
Lin Qianxing helped him up and said, "Why is it so? I called you here to teach you another inner breath technique."
"Well, teacher, I will definitely keep it in mind." Ye Zhong nodded heavily.
He did not tell others about the hardships he had suffered in the Ye family. It was enough for him to know these things by himself. There was no need to tell others in exchange for sympathy.
"You have crippled legs, so it's very difficult for you to move around normally when practicing martial arts. It's almost someone, and you can easily be subdued by maneuvering. So you'd better focus on the unconventional way of using hidden weapons. Learn it to a high level, and you'll be no worse than those who learn the orthodox martial arts." Lin Qianxing said, "I have a secret technique for internal energy that allows you to press the internal energy into your lungs and then exhale it through your mouth. If you use it to launch hidden weapons, it's quite powerful and can be concealed."
As he spoke, Lin Qianxing put a pre-polished iron bead in his mouth. The next moment, he inhaled a large amount of air into his lungs, and his chest was clearly seen bulging.
Immediately, Lin Qianxing closed his nasal cavity, and all the energy in his lungs burst out.
Poof!
whoosh!
Snap~!
The iron ball directly broke a small piece of the stone pillar in the distance.
Seeing this scene, Ye Zhong’s eyes widened.
If this hits a person's head, wouldn't it kill him instantly?
Lin Qianxing noticed Ye Zhong's expression and smiled slightly, "Are you willing to learn?"
"I'm willing to learn!" Ye Zhong said.
"Come, let me teach you how to breathe first..." Lin Qianxing said.
Immediately, he began to teach Ye Zhong the inner breathing technique step by step.
Ye Zhong studied hard and had a good memory, so he quickly learned about 30% of it.
Lin Qianxing said: "Your lungs are still weak, and you need to rely on internal energy to strengthen them before you can use the iron beads. Before that, you should practice with lighter objects, such as iron needles, fine stones, fruit cores, etc. Also, you need to remember not to rush for success. This method is very harmful to your lips, tongue and lungs. You should stop practicing every day when you feel a little pain, and wait until the next day to recover before practicing again. Otherwise, you will develop a hidden disease and become a complete useless person."
His words were very serious. If Ye Zhong could distinguish the importance of things, he would not have ruined his life in his haste for success.
After teaching, Lin Qianxing let Ye Zhong leave.
He estimated that after Ye Zhong achieved some success, he would be able to obtain the purple energy above Ye Zhong's head.
This period of time should not be too long, only one or two months at most.
After all, his only wish was to learn martial arts and change the status quo.
Time continued to pass, and in the following few days, Lin Qianxing was still teaching the children of the Ye Mansion. At the same time, he also secretly followed Ye Chongren and conducted some investigations on him.
Unfortunately, Ye Chongren never seemed to get involved in anything related to the paradise grass. His work was often related to water conservancy, and there was no trace of the paradise grass on him at all.
Lin Qianxing was very sure that the Ye family must have been involved in the transportation of the paradise grass.
And Ye Chongren also knew it.
But since he didn't do it himself, there must be someone in the mansion who was doing it.
But who are all these people in the Ye Mansion?
Lin Qianxing began to suspect that it was Ye Chang, but after several investigations, he found that Ye Chang was just the chief steward of the Ye Mansion and had nothing to do with the matter.
Time flies, half a month has passed, and Lin Qianxing still can't find any trace of the paradise grass.
He could only confirm that there must be a plantation near Wuque City, but he didn't know where exactly.
The isolation between one link is so good that the goods are usually transported directly from the Li River and then transferred here.
At this time, Ye Zhong's internal breathing technique had made some progress.
In Lin Qianxing's yard, Ye Zhong's nose twitched as he swallowed a large amount of gas into his stomach. His chest swelled visibly, and the next moment, a needle tip appeared in his mouth.
Poof!
whoosh!
Duh!
The flying needle pierced into the wooden stake ten meters away.
"Master Lin, I have mastered it." Ye Zhong said in surprise.
After Ye Zhong finished speaking, the purple air above his head also floated towards Lin Qianxing.
Lin Qianxing nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "You have already entered the door. The next step is to work hard. If you persevere, you may be able to achieve great success within ten years. By then, no one will dare to humiliate you easily."
"Ye Zhong would like to thank Master Lin for his teaching." Ye Zhong looked at Lin Qianxing seriously and said, "If it weren't for you, I would probably still be that useless person, without any hope at all."
"There's not much I can do. It's all because of your own efforts. If you hadn't mustered up the courage to come that day, how could you have gotten this opportunity?" Lin Qianxing said earnestly, "You have to remember that as long as you don't give up on yourself, you will always have a chance. "
"I will definitely remember the teacher's words." Ye Zhong said seriously.
Immediately, the two fell into silence.
Lin Qianxing was distracted thinking about the paradise grass, while Ye Zhong was thinking about whether he could say something.
Suddenly, Ye Zhong said, "Teacher, you came to the Ye family not just to ask for a job, right?"
Lin Qianxing looked at Ye Zhong deeply and said, "Why do you say that?"
"I have read a lot of books before. Martial arts masters like you are often only described in novels about strange things. Although the Ye family has some power, with your martial arts, you would probably be a guest of honor even if you go to the palace, right?" Ye Zhong said, "So I guess you are definitely not here for fame and fortune."
Yes, for fame and fortune, Lin Qianxing could have a better place to go.
This is a big loophole.
Therefore, he has not been valued by Ye Chongren until now, and has never been kept by his side. He has only been given the empty title of chief instructor and some money to be kept in his mansion.
"Then why do you think I'm here?" Lin Qianxing said with a smile.
"You are not interested in fame and fortune, and you are a master of martial arts. You must be a chivalrous knight. Then you came to the Ye Mansion to punish evildoers, right?" Ye Zhong speculated: "And the greatest evil in the Ye Mansion..."
Having said this, Ye Zhong paused, then gritted his teeth and said: "Ji Le Wan!!"
Lin Qianxing's heart was filled with ripples, but his face remained calm as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Teacher, do you know how my mother died?" Ye Zhong said with a gloomy expression, "She was originally a maid of the Cui family. She was sent to grow the bliss grass. She was favored by the head of the Ye family and I was born. The eldest lady of the Ye family was not tolerant and gave my mother the bliss pills. She became addicted and died from it. My legs were chopped off when I was born..."
Cui Family!!
Lin Qianxing finally understood why he hadn't found any clues.
The Ye family’s marriage partner is the Cui family.
The eldest wife, Cui Xinyan, is Ye Chongren’s legal wife.
It all makes sense.
The person in charge of the Paradise Grass in the Ye family is not Ye Chongren, nor Ye Chang, nor anyone else, but Ye Chongren’s most trusted partner.
