Chapter 805: Chapter 807: Don’t Say Too Much
Lin Dong looked at Huo Tianqian eagerly and asked, “Mr. Huo, what happened next?”
Huo Tianqian spoke of their journey to Su City. Once they arrived, almost everything had already been said. The most unforgettable part was when both he and Chu Ge lost their martial arts skills, nearly losing their lives because of it.
Huo Tianqian sighed longly, “At that ti, Mr. Chu and I almost lost our lives. This is a long story. Let’s find a place to eat and chat while we talk.”
Lin Dong and Lin Zhao exchanged a glance, “But today there aren’t many people at the Gambling Stone Field. Shouldn’t we leave soone to stay on duty?”
Huo Tianqian said, “Today is the first day of the summit, and normally such a venue should be closed. Didn’t you notice there was no one at all this morning? People know it’s closed, so they don’t co. Besides, it’s lunchti now, who would co?”
Huo Tianqian wanted to co to take a look at what the Gambling Stone Field was like, so he followed along. Unexpectedly, the two employees Chu Ge selected were so committed. He never doubted Chu Ge’s judgnt and felt happy for Chu Ge.
Lin Dong and Lin Zhao listened to Huo Tianqian and decided to comply, closed the door, and brought along Liu Yue from the pharmacy. The four of them found a nearby restaurant to eat.
In this group, Huo Tianqian was the oldest, so he intended to treat these juniors to this al.
As soon as Lin Dong sat down, he curiously looked at Huo Tianqian and inquired, “Mr. Huo, please tell us about the thrilling experience you and Mr. Chu had in Su City?”
Supporting himself with one hand on the table, Huo Tianqian recollected how they almost got killed by those Japanese Shadow Killers in Su City. The thought still made his heart tremble slightly, yet it was from that mont he increasingly wanted to beco stronger.
“Do you know there’s an organization in Japan, the Shadow Assassin Organization? It seems like it specializes in targeting prominent figures from Huaxia, and back then, they were aid directly at the two big shots of Su City. After Mr. Chu used his dical skills to cure them, he beca a target because he obstructed their plans. Later, being careless, both Mr. Chu and I got drugged and lost our martial arts skills.”
Recalling the situation at the ti, although Huo Tianqian wasn’t afraid of death, he had brushed past the edge of it, which was yet another experience.
Huo Tianqian narrated in detail, right from their arrival in Su City until they lost their martial arts skills, almost died, and then regained their abilities.
Lin Dong listened to the thrilling story while starting to worry whether Huo Tianqian telling Lin Zhao about this might discourage Lin Zhao.
Thinking this, Lin Dong winked at Huo Tianqian, signaling him to stop talking.
However, Huo Tianqian, enthralled in his storytelling, didn’t catch Lin Dong’s eye signal.
Seeing the fearful expression on Lin Zhao’s face, Lin Dong beca anxious and wanted to intervene but couldn’t find a way to speak.
Liu Yue, having grown up with Lin Dong, easily perceived Lin Dong’s intent. She gently shook her head at Lin Dong, hinting at him to not say anything.
Lin Dong gazed at her suspiciously, his eyes questioning: Why?
Liu Yue sighed and took out her phone, sending Lin Dong a text ssage, “What Mr. Huo is saying, even if Lin Zhao doesn’t know now, he will eventually face such issues if he enters the Ancient Martial Arts circle. Do you think it’s better for him to know now or after he truly steps into this circle?”
Because of Liu Yue’s words, Lin Dong fell silent.
True, if he doesn’t let Lin Zhao see the worst now after entering the Ancient Martial Arts later, what if he regrets and retreats?
Lin Dong sighed, deciding it was best to let Lin Zhao recognize reality sooner.
Thinking this, Lin Dong stopped being anxious. At this ti, Huo Tianqian had also finished his narration, and he sighed deeply, earnestly telling Lin Zhao, “If you want to step into Ancient Martial Arts, you should think it through, as it affects your whole life’s matter.”
After listening to Huo Tianqian’s tales, Lin Zhao indeed hesitated, rembering his life was saved by his father sacrificing himself. If he truly stepped into Ancient Martial Arts, wouldn’t it be unworthy?
Lin Zhao’s hesitation was understandable to both Huo Tianqian and Lin Dong, so after Huo Tianqian finished his story, he earnestly advised Lin Zhao, “My story serves only as a constructive reference for you; the crucial decision remains yours.
What I am saying is experiencing the worst during Ancient Martial Arts. If you think you can’t face them, I advise you not to step into Ancient Martial Arts. However, if you’re willing to take risks and want to live a different life, I think you can try it, because you’ll find that once you step into Ancient Martial Arts, it’s like opening the door to a new world.
I believe this feeling is shared not only with ; Lin Dong must have similar thoughts?”
Huo Tianqian raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Lin Dong, “You also hesitated and wandered, but later chose to enter Ancient Martial Arts. Up until now, have you regretted it?”
Lin Dong shook his head, “No.”
He never regretted it. His past life was monotonous and dull, repeating the sa things daily. Those days made him feel like a walking corpse. But after entering Ancient Martial Arts, everything changed. He felt never so fulfilled. He felt like he found a new direction in life, a new goal.
This gave him fantasies about his unknown future life, making him feel aningful.
This feeling he knows not how to convey to Lin Zhao nor how to express it, but he does not regret stepping into Ancient Martial Arts.
Lin Zhao remained silent, his bewildered gaze shifted between Lin Dong and Huo Tianqian a few tis, finally sighing.
He said, “Let
think it over. I now don’t know what to do, very conflicted.”
Lin Dong and Lin Zhao were about the sa age and both worked at the Gambling Stone Field. After spending much ti together, they had ford a brotherly bond. Seeing Lin Zhao so conflicted and hesitant, Lin Dong couldn’t help but want to open his mouth to persuade him further.
But as Lin Dong’s words were yet to exit his mouth, Huo Tianqian raised his hand to stop him. He gently waved his hand at Huo Tianqian, indicating not to say more.
