Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Cleaning House
"So he is Senior Brother Lin Yun?" Hearing the conversation between Lin Yun and Yan Dashan, the young girl next to them was quite astonished.
She had often heard her master speak highly of this senior brother, praising his strong natural talent, immense efforts, and fastest progress of all the disciples. She adored him immensely, especially since he'd reached the Mid Mingjin Stage at just eighteen.
The most important point was that her master and this senior brother were very close. Although this senior brother hadn't been in Immortal Origin County for these years, his father often visited her master and always brought some vegetables.
Thus, she had considerable fondness for this senior brother whom she had never met.
Unlike that Wang Jie.
He too was a disciple taught by her master, however, after her master fell ill, he not only failed to offer any assistance, but he helped other martial arts schools to suppress their own. He even sent people to their school gate to lure away all the students who came to learn martial arts.
Her master was previously very good to Wang Jie.
Wang Jie's actions were simply wolf-hearted and dog-lunged.
Indeed, Wang Jie was the Brother Jie mentioned by that young man from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
What a pity, her master forbade her from revealing to others that Wang Jie was once his student, otherwise, the students who came to inquire at their martial arts hall wouldn't have been swept away by others.
"Master, what happened to your health...what I saw earlier..." At this time, Lin Yun asked with concern, and then he described what he had just encountered.
Immortal Origin County was home to more than one martial arts school, and it was quite normal for the schools to learn from each other. He wanted to know if his master's health had anything to do with Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, if so, he might have to seek justice for his master.
Yinghao Martial Arts Hall sending someone to poach their students was not a simple matter of learning from each other anymore.
"Ah..." Yan Dashan sighed faintly.
The sigh brimmed with desolation, making him seem even older.
"Senior Brother Lin Yun, you are finally back. That Wang Jie..." Seeing this, the young girl next to them couldn't hold back her grievances any longer. She looked at Lin Yun and said pitifully.
This time, Yan Dashan did not stop the girl from speaking. He closed his eyes and listened.
The young girl was quite good at recounting the events, and she quickly described the whole incident.
The gist was that Yinghao Martial Arts Hall had opened in Immortal Origin County for the past two years, and Wang Jie was invited to join. At first, there was no issue, but after he heard that her master was sick, he took the opportunity to organize a big martial arts competition in Immortal Origin County.
During the competition, Wang Jie used aggressive language to provoke her master, who had no choice but to fight.
During the match, he used underhanded tactics to severely injure her master.
This incident further deteriorated her master's health, the massive amount of money spent on medicine didn't aid much in his recovery.
During this time, Yinghao Martial Arts Hall sent people to keep an eye on their school, using various means to attract anyone wanting to learn martial arts at their school.
They were already out of money, and if not for her master's former disciples who generously helped to pay for his medicine, his treatment would've cut short long ago.
But now, it was becoming harder and harder to maintain her master's medication.
Most of those disciples were common students. They didn't have too deep of a relationship with Yan Dashan. They were already doing well by offering some money. They all had their families, how could they afford to keep spending?
"Wang Jie?" A sharp light flashed deep in Lin Yun's eyes, he said.
The other party was not weak, and he was called Wang Jie. Could it be the Wang Jie he once knew?
Back in the day, when he was learning martial arts with his master, there was another student who was not too bad, his name was Wang Jie.
"Yes, the Wang Jie you knew back then, I felt that his character was not very good, but I didn't expect..." Yan Dashan opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and sighed.
"What a Wang Jie, what a Brother Jie, what a top martial artist of Immortal Origin County, later, I will go to Yinghao Martial Arts Hall to confront him." Lin Yun sneered.
Compared with this junior sister that his Master had accepted, he could understand why his Master didn't let her tell others that Wang Jie was his former student.
A former student who turned against his master and used such despicable means to cause severe injuries, this was a shameful event in the eyes of the upright martial artists.
He had spent a long time with his master, and he knew his master's character well. His master would feel even more ashamed.
He and Wang Jie were students of his master during the same period.
Although Wang Jie's talent was a bit inferior to his, it was not bad either.
His master's teaching of Wang Jie was quite conscientious.
Early on, both he and Wang Jie had paid the tuition fees, but later, neither of them paid any.
Technically, they were treated like disciples, not merely students.
Wang Jie's current actions were no less than the betrayal and disrespect shown by disciples in ancient times.
Severely injuring his master... Taking away his master's livelihood... Leaving his master without medication...
Wang Jie really did go too far!
Since that was the case, Wang Jie shouldn't blame him for cleaning his master's door up!
"Senior Brother Lin Yun, are you going to confront that Wang Jie?" The young girl who was Lin Yun's junior sister, Xing'er Lee, suddenly brightened her beautiful eyes after hearing Lin Yun's words, she said cheerfully.
She often heard her master say that Lin Yun was extremely talented and that his martial arts skills improved rapidly. In her view, Lin Yun's strength should surpass Wang Jie's.
During this period, Wang Jie had been acting too outrageously, and she really hoped that Lin Yun could teach him a good lesson.
"Lin Yun, you must not act rashly. Wang Jie has broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage for two years now. Plus, he works very hard, and his current strength is not underestimating compared to some martial artists who have been stagnating at the Mid Mingjin Stage for many years. Most importantly, there are several martial artists of decent strength in Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
Some of them are Early Mingjin Stage martial artists who I once taught..." Yan Dashan immediately shook his head, speaking.
He was very appreciative of Lin Yun's willingness to stand up for him.
However, Wang Jie had grown strong enough to pose a serious threat. Ordinary strength was not enough to tackle him.
"There are a few other Early Mingjin Stage martial artists whom my master once taught?" Lin Yun frowned.
He didn't expect that not only Wang Jie was involved in this matter, but there were also some others.
"Yes, so don't act rashly. You should understand that there is a huge gap between the strength of martial artists and that of ordinary people. A few martial artists joining hands is not a small matter..." Yan Dashan nodded.
This was his most critical reason for stopping Lin Yun.
If it was just Lin Yun and Wang Jie fighting, he wouldn't worry too much about Lin Yun.
Five years ago, Lin Yun had broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage. Given his talent, it could be inferred that if didn't give up on martial arts over these five years, his strength wouldn't be inferior to Wang Jie's, he might even be more powerful.
Wang Jie had only broken through to the Mid Mingjin Stage two years ago. Even though he had worked hard these two years, there were some things that hard work alone couldn't achieve, talent was needed, like in martial arts.
Lin Yun's talent in martial arts significantly outshone Wang Jie's.
"Master, do not worry about me. A Mid Mingjin Stage and some Early Mingjin Stage martial artists won't scare me. I'll deal with Yinghao Martial Arts Hall." However, after hearing Yan Dashan's words, Lin Yun smiled faintly and said.
