Rise from a Poor Family: My Martial Arts Counterattack

Chapter 25: I Almost Got Duped (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

After Shu Suwan left, Yu Yongnian made tea silently, while Lin Chen stood respectfully beside him with a curious look on his face.

Yu Yongnian also noticed it, coughed, and explained: "When I first learned martial arts, I was fortunate enough to stay in the martial arts academy of Raozhou Prefecture for three months. Shu Xunchashi was also learning martial arts in the academy at that time. She was my senior sister."

"These martial arts schools were the first to violate the rules. Inspector Shu will not tolerate any injustice and will definitely not ignore it. That's why I brought you to see Inspector Shu."

Yu Yongnian explained the reason, and Lin Chen suddenly understood, with an expression that said, "So that's it."

As to whether he really believed what Teacher Yu said, only he himself knew.

He pretended to be suddenly enlightened in order to avoid embarrassing the teacher. The tea had been brewed over and over again for more than ten times and the tea soup had become clear.

"What are you doing, Master and Disciple?"

Just when Yongnian was making the thirteenth pot of tea, Shu Suwan appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Senior sister!"

"Inspector Shu."

Shu Suwan's eyes fell on Lin Chen and she said directly, "Qingfeng Martial Arts School is willing to recruit you as a disciple, but Qingfeng Martial Arts School does not have enough places for students who can open up the mind. We will borrow the quota of Jingshui Martial Arts School. To do this, you need to stay in Jingshui Martial Arts School for half a year. Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing."

"inappropriate!"

Lin Chen and Yu Jiaoxi, the master and disciple, had different reactions. Lin Chen accepted it with pleasure and didn't care which martial arts school he became a disciple of.

Yu Yongnian frowned: "Jingshui Martial Arts School has mostly female disciples, I'm afraid..."

"Why, are you prejudiced against us women learning martial arts?"

As soon as Shu Suwan finished speaking, Yu Yongnian immediately changed his tone: "Senior sister, you misunderstood. Junior brother didn't mean that. It's just that young people have a tendency to be young..."

In Yu Yongnian's opinion, Jingshui Martial Arts School is not a good place to go.

Gentle Township, Hero Tomb.

As the only male student among a group of female students, Lin Chen's every move will inevitably be noticed and magnified.

The most important thing is that there are a lot of disputes among the students of Jingshui Martial Arts School... They are always prone to quibbling. When he was in the martial arts school, he heard that there were a lot of conflicts among the female students of Jingshui Martial Arts School, which was not conducive to Lin Chen's concentration on martial arts practice.

"Master Yu, I can go to Jingshui Martial Arts School. I will only stay there for half a year anyway."

Lin Chen didn't resist at all, Jingshui Martial Arts School was fine.

He knew what Instructor Yu was worried about. He was simply afraid that he would be blinded by women and lose his ambition in martial arts.

But he has seen all kinds of beauties.

In his previous life, so many women flirted with him in videos and tried to seduce him in various ways, but he just viewed them with a critical eye and would never watch the same video twice.

Although the customs of this world are not as strict towards women as those in ancient times, they are not as open as those in his previous life, and this cannot shake his determination to learn martial arts.

Shu Suwan was very satisfied: "In that case, you should report to Qingfeng Martial Arts School first, and then go to Jingshui Martial Arts School."

"Yes."

Lin Chen agreed and was about to say goodbye to his teacher, but unexpectedly, his teacher also stood up.

"Senior sister, junior brother I..."

"Brother, don't leave. I owe Jingshui Martial Arts School a favor by letting them get a quota for the Kaiqiao Pill students. I have made an appointment with the head of Jingshui Martial Arts School. Brother, please accompany me to meet him."

When Shu Suwan saw Yu Yongnian stand up, she immediately spoke up to stop her junior brother from leaving.

I finally came here on my own initiative, and now I want to leave so easily? There is no way.

Lin Chen glanced at his own teacher, then looked at Inspector Shu, and he saw something.

Inspector Shu wanted to keep him here specifically for instruction.

From his point of view, Inspector Shu is beautiful and is also an inspector, this... this is a blessing for the instructor.

"Teacher, Inspector Shu, I will report to Qingfeng Martial Arts School first."

"Go ahead. If you need anything, come to the Shu Mansion in Ruilin Lane."

Shu Suwan spoke with a smile, she was very satisfied with Lin Chen's understanding.

……

……

Qingfeng Martial Arts School.

Lin Chen came to the martial arts hall again and was taken by the doorman to the reception hall he had been to before.

He didn't show any indignation.

Being underestimated by the martial arts school was also due to his own faults, and the other party was also fair and impartial. After all, the fact that he was blessed by fate was too unbelievable, and no one would have thought of it if he didn't say it out loud.

When he saw Zhao Ce again, Lin Chen still bowed respectfully.

"Disciple greets Instructor Zhao." Very respectful.

"Ah."

Seeing Lin Chen's respectful look, Zhao Ce's expression became better than before. He was not targeting Lin Chen, but he had rejected Lin Chen just now, and now he wanted to accept Lin Chen again, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Master Qi has already informed me of your situation. You can go to the Martial Arts Pavilion to get the Martial Arts Secret Manual later."

Zhao Ce nodded calmly, and after saying this, he turned around and left. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and said, "I didn't reject you before because it was not intentional. The quota for the martial arts hall is indeed full. You should also know how hard it is to get this quota. Don't be resentful and learn martial arts well."

"Disciples don't dare."

Although he does not feel any resentment, he does not have a deep sense of belonging to the martial arts school.

Lin Chen lowered his eyes, and when he looked up again, Zhao Ce had left. There was no change in his expression, and he followed the servant beside him to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

An instructor in the martial arts pavilion verified Lin Chen's identity card and asked curiously, "Didn't Senior Brother Zhao issue you a student ID card?"

After entering Qingfeng Martial Arts School, every student will have a student badge engraved and hang it on their body on weekdays. This is a symbol of their identity as a student of the martial arts school.

"No, Instructor Zhao asked me to come to the martial arts gym to receive the Qingfeng Palm secret manual." Lin Chen answered truthfully.

The instructor who was speaking glanced at Lin Chen, with a thoughtful look on his face. After a while, he said, "In that case, you wait here for a while."

After a cup of tea, the teacher took out a secret book.

"This is the Qingfeng Palm secret manual. It must be returned in one month. It must not be lost, and it must not be leaked."

The instructor's tone was not serious, but Lin Chen did not dare to be careless. He did not even think about revealing his martial arts.

How many students have been accepted by the eight major martial arts schools over the years? Many people in Poyang County are familiar with the martial arts techniques of each major martial arts school. But why have these martial arts techniques not been passed on to outsiders until now? It is because the students dare not do so.

The martial arts school has a list of students. If someone who is not a student of the martial arts school performs the martial arts techniques of the martial arts school, the Wuzheng Institute will investigate it to the end. No one can withstand the punishment of the Wuzheng Institute and not confess.

After saying goodbye to his instructor, Lin Chen left Qingfeng Martial Arts School and went straight to Jingshui Martial Arts School.

……

……

The gate of Jingshui Martial Arts School.

Lin Chen gave his name and while waiting at the door, a woman came from the gate. When she saw Lin Chen, she stopped and there was curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

"you are?"

"Sister, I'm here to report to the martial arts gym."

Lin Chen didn't know the identity of this woman, but judging from her appearance, she should be a senior sister.

The woman's hair was like a waterfall, with a few strands of hair gently falling in front of her forehead. When she heard Lin Chen's words, she blinked a few times, adding a bit of unintentional charm to her.

"It's really rare that there are male students in our martial arts school. My name is Chen Yan, what's your name, Junior Brother?"

"Lin Chen has met Senior Sister Chen."

"Junior Brother Lin, why are you standing here?"

"I just told the doorman about the situation. The doorman went to inform the instructor. I am waiting here." Lin Chen answered truthfully.

"What are you waiting for? I will take you to find a teacher. Come with me."

Chen Yan was very enthusiastic and even stepped forward to hold Lin Chen's hand, but Lin Chen dodged it unnoticeably: "Then I'll trouble you, Senior Sister."

The two of them entered the gate, and Chen Yan led the way while introducing the situation of the martial arts gym to Lin Chen.

"See that corridor over there? You can go directly to the dormitory area from there. There is also the training ground in front, which is the Class A training ground. Usually, students who are in their third year at the martial arts school will come here. You new students will go to the Class C training ground."

Chen Yan was very enthusiastic and kept talking all the way.

Lin Chen was very moved. Jingshui Martial Arts School was still the best. Look at how enthusiastic Senior Sister Chen was. It was nothing like Qingfeng Martial Arts School, where everyone from top to bottom was very cold.

It’s a pity that I am not a real disciple of Jingshui Martial Arts School.

"I will take Junior Brother Lin to register and get the identity badge of the martial arts school students first."

"No... you don't need to collect your student ID card."

Lin Chen hurriedly tried to stop him. He was affiliated with Jingshui Martial Arts School and was not considered a disciple of the school.

"Senior Sister Chen, my situation is a bit complicated. Please take me to the instructor who is responsible for recruiting students."

Chen Yan looked at Lin Chen for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll take you directly to the Martial Arts Pavilion."

Every martial arts school has a martial arts pavilion, and Jingshui Martial Arts School is no exception.

"The Martial Arts Pavilion is in front of us. I think you are here to get the Enlightenment Pill, right?" Chen Yan asked confidently.

"Ah."

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Lin. To celebrate your entry into the Awakening Realm, I will host a banquet for you today."

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. This Senior Sister Chen was too enthusiastic.

Do you want to host a dinner party?

A good senior sister from heaven?
After a moment's silence, Lin Chen said, "How can I let my senior sister treat me..."

After saying this, Lin Chen noticed that Senior Sister Chen's eyes brightened up a little, and a guess suddenly emerged in his mind.

Could it be that Senior Sister Chen is waiting for me here?

Thinking of this, Lin Chen changed the subject: "I should have treated you to a meal, but I was in a hurry to come to the martial arts hall this time and didn't bring any money with me. So I shamelessly asked you to have a meal today and I will treat you back another day."

The smile on Chen Yan's face froze instantly. How dare you to eat my meal?

You are really shameless.

I didn't bring any money, but you can treat me to a meal some other day. Do you have the nerve to say that you want to eat for free?
How can you say that?
She has been guarding the door of the martial arts hall every day these past few days, hoping to trick these new sisters into going to the four major martial arts buildings for a meal.

The signature dishes of the four martial arts buildings are all poultry meat that is very nourishing to the blood, but the price is extremely expensive and not affordable for ordinary students. However, students who can cultivate their essence within a year can afford a few meals of it even if they have another year left.

She has already gotten three free meals in the past few days, without missing a single one.

It only didn't work on this junior fellow apprentice.

"Junior brother, you are joking. There is no such thing as freeloading. Whoever invites you does not invite you." Chen Yan forced a smile and said, "I will take you to the Martial Arts Pavilion first. We can talk about dinner later."

"Excuse me, Senior Sister."

This time, Chen Yan didn't say a word on the way.

If I talk too much, my mouth will dry and I might not even be able to earn back the money for a cup of tea.

"Junior Brother Lin, this is the Martial Arts Pavilion. I will not go in. I will wait here for you to come out."

Lin Chen knew it in his mind. As soon as he entered the Martial Arts Pavilion, Senior Sister Chen turned around and left. He did not expose her. After all, she did show him the way and introduced some information about the martial arts hall.

In the past, this was called service, and paying for services was normal.

Unfortunately, he had no money, so he could only get Sister Chen for free.

Pooh!
You are wrong. You are taking advantage of Sister Chen’s service for free.

After crossing the threshold of the Martial Arts Pavilion, Lin Chen subconsciously looked back, but Senior Sister Chen had disappeared.

Lin Chen: …

Are you in such a hurry to leave?
You haven't finished acting yet?

While expressing his emotion, Lin Chen also understood in his heart the difficulty of martial arts.

This Senior Sister Chen is obviously at the enlightenment stage. She is willing to lower herself just for a meal and is almost trying to seduce me.

If the martial arts learner had not run out of money, how could he have done this?
