Chapter 31: Chapter 31: The Strength of Lin Jiangpu
Upon hearing these words, Su Luo almost stumbled, "Old Master Lin, you... aren’t you being a bit too hasty?"
Where do you find soone proposing marriage to their granddaughter to a man they had just t?
However, Su Luo had to admit that, in his heart, he had just entertained a fleeting romantic thought.
It wasn’t that he had only recently seen Lin Ruoxi. When at the company, he would occasionally catch a glimpse of her. However, Lin Ruoxi was the untouchable female CEO, while he was rely a junior employee, and their paths never crossed.
For all the n in the company, Lin Ruoxi, the iceberg female CEO, was the goddess. Su Luo had also fantasized about making a dark horse coback and winning over the female CEO.
But it was only a fantasy.
He had never imagined that one day, this might actually stand a chance of becoming reality!
If it hadn’t been for Shen Qingzhi, perhaps Su Luo might have agreed on the spot. But now, it was clear he couldn’t just carelessly consent.
Lin Songbai chuckled, "I don’t think it’s hasty. If you could beco my granddaughter’s husband, I’d be overjoyed."
Su Luo forced a smile, "Even if I were willing, Miss Lin probably wouldn’t be."
Even now, Lin Ruoxi probably still took him for a hooligan or a pervert.
"Don’t worry, as long as you’re willing, I’ll handle this matter. I’ll create opportunities for both of you to et," Lin Songbai laughed heartily.
"Elder, I..." Su Luo quickly tried to explain that he hadn’t directly agreed to anything.
But Lin Songbai didn’t give Su Luo the chance to explain, interrupting with, "Didn’t you just want to ask about Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts? Let
tell you."
At these words.
Su Luo’s expression grew stern.
This was the real issue at hand.
He didn’t try to argue with Lin Songbai anymore.
"Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts refers to the ten people in Jiangbei with the strongest Inner Strength. Of course, the strength of Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts varies considerably. The most powerful among them has Ninth Stage Inner Strength. And the weakest, only Fifth Stage Inner Strength."
"This is also why the Martial Arts Community in Jiangbei is weaker; there just aren’t that many formidable martial artists. In contrast, in Jiangnan, those who make it to the Top Ten Inner Strength Experts have at least reached Seventh Stage Inner Strength," Lin Songbai explained, sighing on behalf of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Community.
To Su Luo, these words thundered in his ears.
He wasn’t concerned with the situation in Jiangnan right now. But in Jiangbei, the weakest had Fifth Stage Inner Strength?
Although he had anticipated this, hearing the result still made Su Luo inwardly gasp.
After all, he had only just reached the early phase of Third Level of Qi Refinent.
"Elder, may I ask where a person nad Lin Jiangpu ranks among the top ten experts in Jiangbei and how strong he is?" Su Luo hurriedly inquired.
"Lin Jiangpu? If I rember correctly, he’s at the very bottom of Jiangbei’s Top Ten, with a strength around Fifth Stage Inner Strength. He is the only one among the Top Ten with Fifth Stage Inner Strength; everyone else is at least at Sixth Stage," Lin Songbai replied.
Upon hearing this, Su Luo finally let out a sigh of relief.
That’s good.
If Lin Jiangpu had Fifth Stage Inner Strength, then Su Luo could see so hope. If Lin Jiangpu had turned out to be a Seventh or Eighth Stage Inner Strength Expert, looking to kill him, then he really would have had to consider running away and temporarily leaving Jiangbei to lie low.
"Elder, Lin Jiangpu has nothing to do with you, right?" Su Luo suddenly asked.
After all, they both share the surna Lin.
"Nothing," Lin Songbai shook his head.
"That’s good," Su Luo said.
"Young friend, do you have so grudge against this Lin Jiangpu?" Lin Songbai inquired.
"Sothing like that," Su Luo would not disclose the matter of him killing Lin Wu, and so, he did not elaborate.
Elder Lin Songbai also knew when to stop prying and simply said, "I still hold so influence in the Jiangbei Martial Arts Community, and if the young friend needs
to step in to diate, perhaps I can be of assistance."
Su Luo gave a bitter smile.
I killed his brother. Lin Jiangpu was seeking vengeance for his brother. This grudge is probably not sothing that can be simply diated.
"Old Master, I will handle this matter on my own," Su Luo said.
"Young man, you’re full of spirit," Elder Lin Songbai said, looking at Su Luo with even greater appreciation.
After that, Su Luo inquired further into the affairs of the Jiangbei Martial Arts Community.
It was then that Su Luo finally understood.
Lin Wu’s death had not caused much of a stir and had not even made the news precisely because he was a martial artist.
The Public Security Bureau did not handle the deaths of martial artists. Instead, such matters were handed over to the Martial Arts Association.
The Jiangbei Martial Arts Association was not just any civilian organization but one with official standing, just like the Public Security Bureau, and was responsible for overseeing matters within the Martial Arts Community.
The rankings of Jiangbei’s Top Ten experts were also issued by the Martial Arts Association.
However, this departnt was inaccessible to ordinary people.
No wonder Su Luo had never heard of it before.
"Elder, according to what you said, above the Inner Strength Experts in the path of martial arts, there are Martial Arts Grandmasters. In our Jiangbei, there are three Martial Arts Grandmasters. Who are they?" asked Su Luo again.
"Wan Chuanxiong, Lei Yanwu."
"As for the other one, well, it’s this old man myself," Elder Lin Songbai said.
Su Luo was slightly surprised.
From the mouth of Elder Wei, he had already learned that Elder Lin Songbai was a martial artist.
Previously, when he was treating Elder Lin Songbai, he had also detected the fluctuation of Inner Strength in his body, but he had not probed further.
Who would have thought that Elder Lin Songbai, would be one of the three great Martial Arts Grandmasters of Jiangbei?
That truly astonished Su Luo.
"Old Master, what about the other two? What are their identities?" Su Luo inquired once more.
"Wan Chuanxiong and Lei Yanwu; these two are underlings of Zhou Shihao, considered to be his left and right arms," Elder Lin Songbai said.
"The other two grandmasters are people of Zhou Shihao?" Su Luo’s expression turned solemn in an instant.
In this light, Zhou Shihao’s strength was far greater than he had imagined.
"Not only those two Martial Arts Grandmasters, but even among the Top Ten Inner Strength Experts, there are a full four who are underlings of Zhou Shihao," Elder Lin Songbai said.
Throughout the whole of Jiangbei, Zhou Shihao was the absolute overlord, unmatched by anyone.
Su Luo fell into a contemplative silence.
No wonder Aunt Shen said that even with ten of him tied together, they would not be of any use in front of Zhou Shihao.
At that ti, he was sowhat unconvinced.
Now, Su Luo felt that perhaps he had been too limited in his own perspective.
"Aunt Shen, no matter how strong Zhou Shihao’s power is, I will definitely free you from this sea of misery," he thought.
Su Luo was not afraid. After truly understanding the terrifying strength of Zhou Shihao, he would turn the pressure into motivation.
