Age: My Small World

"Master, are you alright now?"

Li Yan's eyes filled with tears, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Heaven knows how worried he was about his master's safety, and in the end, he had no choice but to resort to improper means to invite Yang Jun over.

He used to hate people who broke the rules the most.

Cui Youjun walked out the door with his hands behind his back: "What could be wrong with me? It's just an old injury flaring up again."

He spoke lightly, but Li Yan didn't dare to take it seriously and carefully came over to help the old man.

He himself had gray hair and a white beard, and looked to be about the same age as Cui Youjun.

Yang Jun strolled out from behind, watching the scene unfold before him without uttering a sound to disturb it.

It wasn't until the two of them wandered around the courtyard and turned around that they saw Yang Jun standing there leisurely.

A complex expression immediately appeared on Li Yan's face. He hadn't expected Yang Jun to give him such a big surprise.

Although he initially invited Yang Jun with a try-it-out mentality, he wasn't really that confident.

"Mr. Yang, are you unaware of my master's health?"

"After three more treatments, I should be fully recovered. There's nothing to be afraid of right now; I can eat and drink whatever I want."

He was using holy water, not medicine, so the patient didn't need to avoid certain foods.

Of course, given Cui Youjun's physical condition, it would be best for him to eat more good food to replenish his energy.

Yang Jun probably doesn't need to say these things; Li Yan would do a good job of it.

His eyes then sharpened slightly.

Yang Jun had not forgotten the methods Li Yanwu had used.

Li Yan bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your great kindness, sir. I have no way to repay you. Please give me any instructions you may give, and I will do it without hesitation. I only ask that you can completely cure my master."

His actions left Cui Youjun somewhat puzzled, as he was unaware that Yang Jun had been forced to come.

Seeing Yang Jun's extremely cold attitude towards Li Yan, he seemed to understand something.

With a casual question, he learned about Li Yan's methods.

Cui Youjun's expression immediately turned cold.

"Kneel down."

Li Yan immediately knelt down on the ground. In this world, the only person who could make him kneel was probably Cui Youjun.

"You scoundrel! You actually used such despicable means to ask someone to treat my illness. Even if I get better, I'll still be furious with you."

Cui Youjun took a deep breath, looking quite angry, and almost couldn't catch his breath.

This scene startled Li Yan, who immediately tried to get up to help the old man, saying, "Master!"

"Kneel down properly and apologize to Mr. Yang..."

"Cough cough..."

The old man wanted to curse him, but involuntarily took two steps back.

This time, Yang Jun didn't ignore it. Instead, he quickly walked over and gently patted the old man's heart with a special rhythm.

"Take this pill first."

He handed over another pill.

Cui Youjun didn't stand on ceremony and took it and ate it.

After a few minutes, he recovered.

Having witnessed Yang Jun's methods firsthand, Li Yan's eyes gleamed with certainty. Only then did he truly believe Yang Jun's earlier claim of a cure. However, a bitter smile crept onto his lips. Having offended such a person, he had no idea what to do next.

Moreover, Yang Jun hasn't directly addressed his question yet. His master's healing isn't complete, meaning the situation has completely reversed, and Yang Jun now holds the upper hand.

"Sigh, when you get old, you can't deny your physical condition."

After Cui Youjun sighed, he looked at Li Yan, but he didn't really intend to punish him.

Yang Jun also understood that Cui Youjun had only wanted Li Yan to forgive him.

Then Cui Youjun said, "Mr. Yang, I don't know what you need, but I will definitely have Li Yan fulfill it for you. I will do my best to help you. I owe you a lot of face this time. If there is anything you need, please just say so."

Yang Jun originally didn't intend to let Li Yan off the hook, after all, this guy had crossed his bottom line.

But after Cui Youjun spoke, he raised an eyebrow, as if he had thought of something.

So he said, "Things are easy to handle. Lord Yan should have heard about what I asked Wang Hu to do, right?"

"Don't call him Lord Yan, just call him Li Yan." Cui Youjun waved his hand.

Yang Jun, of course, would never actually call someone that, so he could only smile.

Li Yan first bowed to Cui Youjun, then looked at Yang Jun and said, "I do know some things. It seems you are collecting jade?"

"Just a hobby," Yang Jun waved his hand.

"My only request is that Master Yan have someone accompany and cooperate with Wang Hu more."

After hearing this, Li Yan pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "Actually, I know a place that has a lot of jade. If you need it, I can take you there."

"Oh?" Yang Jun's eyes lit up. Just by looking at Li Yan's expression, he knew that there must be a lot of jade.

Moreover, judging from Li Yan's attitude, it seems that he doesn't even need to pay.

"That's good. I'll go after I've treated the old man. There's no rush."

Yang Jun is a man of his word and is not afraid that Li Yan will delay the final payment.

"By the way, Master Yan also knows that my current job is rather special. If you come across any classical documents, please let me know and I will come over as soon as possible."

"That's even less of a problem, I'll keep an eye on it."

Guilan Lane was a gathering place for people from all walks of life in the capital. Now that Li Yan had agreed to this matter, Yang Jun didn't know how much trouble he could save.

Moreover, the classical literature section might yield even more valuable finds, which would surely delight the curator.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Cui Youjun, who was standing to the side, was happy to see it happen.

But after stroking his beard, he seemed to be thinking about something else.

After the two finished speaking, he said to Yang Jun, "Little Yang Jun, next time you come, I'll teach you something."

Yang Jun and Li Yan both shifted slightly, probably understanding the old man's implication: he was about to impart the true essence of Mantis Boxing to Yang Jun.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Cui. I will definitely be better prepared next time."

Today is definitely not a good day. Cui Youjun has just woken up, and not only has his body not fully recovered, but he also needs to do some preparation work to teach boxing.

"Okay, you two continue talking, I'll go in and rest for a bit."

The old man waved his hand and went back to his room.

Li Yan then cupped his hands in thanks to Yang Jun: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for saving my master's life."

Yang Jun said calmly, "No need, just prepare the things for me."

"Of course it should be."

After he finished speaking, Yang Jun looked back at Old Master Cui's room before leaving.

He was naturally very interested in the Mantis Fist, a style that combined the best of both worlds. (End of Chapter)
