Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction Chapter 136 - 123 Beiqing Hall
The elder was none other than Pei Zhangluo, the elder responsible for assessing Lin Yuan’s promotion to a mid-grade Pill Master.
"The elder has arrived." Upon seeing the elder’s features, several people were imdiately taken aback.
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads in salute: "Greetings, Elder."
Pei Zhangluo held a high position and considerable power in the Pei family, managing affairs of logistics, commanding impressive authority. But why has he co here today? Could it be that the fifth young master has caught his eye, elevating his status within the family with new assignnts?
Those present lowered their heads, yet felt a thrill in their hearts. At this mont, the fifth young master was like the warm sun of early spring, warming them up.
"Third Grandfather."
Pei Shijing’s expression froze upon realizing who had co. He absolutely did not expect that the one to arrive would be his third grandfather, who managed the logistics affairs.
Yet, his expression soon transford into a smile, and he promptly got up to greet him: "Third Grandfather is here, without giving your grandson any hint, to prepare in advance to welco you."
Pei Zhangluo, seeing Lin Yuan unhard, breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I ca in ti, otherwise Yue Jiang might have hard Lin Yuan."
Glancing past Pei Shijing, he took a couple of steps forward, extending his hand to halt Pei Shijing’s advance: "I did not co here for you; I have another important matter. Stay aside."
Pei Shijing paused, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Among those present, who, other than himself, could possibly attract Pei Zhangluo’s attention? Yue Jiang was only a low-grade Pill Master, and certainly not qualified. Others were just direct descendants of subsidiary families of his Pei family, outstanding in talent and gifts but not considered geniuses by any remarkable asure.
Countless possibilities flashed through Pei Shijing’s mind, yet he couldn’t understand who else could be worthy of Pei Zhangluo personally taking a trip. However, it was made clear that he was not the one Pei Zhangluo ca for.
Pei Shijing nodded, and despite his inner doubts, he respectfully stood at Pei Zhangluo’s side according to the elder’s instruction.
Simultaneously, the anticipation filling Pei Shijing’s eyes completely faded away.
Lin Yuan also turned around, scanning the newcor. He was very familiar with this face; it was the elder responsible for assessing his advancent to a mid-grade Pill Master.
"Greetings, Elder."
Lin Yuan cupped his hands in a calm manner.
"I arrived a bit late, Young Friend, causing you distress," Pei Zhangluo remarked courteously.
"Lin Yuan actually knows Elder Pei. What is his identity? And what is the Elder’s identity? Moreover, the Elder addresses him as a young friend!" Everyone exchanged astonished glances, stupefied on the spot.
"The Elder, with such authority and power, actually shows respect to a little Qi-Blood level figure! What special talent does Lin Yuan possess, to garner such attention from the Elder? Is the sun rising in the west today?"
"It’s bizarre, truly bizarre. I rack my brain but can’t understand what qualities Lin Yuan possesses to earn the Elder’s favor. But, that said, with the Elder’s attention, Lin Yuan is likely to soar high!"
"Could it be that the Pei family intends to cultivate another Hou Sixian? They actually have the Elder personally involved! Upon returning to the family, I must carefully investigate and have the clan select outstanding disciples to send to the Pei family for cultivation."
Minds raced with suspicion and various thoughts erged among the crowd, yet all could not help but view Lin Yuan with newfound respect.
With the Elder’s favor, no wonder Lin Yuan disdained the resources offered by the fifth young master.
"I have co precisely to discuss important matters with Young Friend Lin." Pei Zhangluo ignored everyone’s shock, glancing over their faces before stepping forward and saying softly: "Young Friend, this is not the place to talk; please follow ."
"Since the Elder requests, how dare Lin Yuan refuse. Please!" Lin Yuan cupped his hands and followed Pei Zhangluo out of the hall.
The middle-aged man followed step by step, accompanying Lin Yuan and Pei Zhangluo out of the hall.
"Lin Yuan, what is Lin Yuan’s situation? Why does the Elder invite him alone?"
"It’s unbelievable, truly unbelievable, that Lin Yuan has such relations. Send soone to investigate the situation."
"Judging by the fifth young master’s reaction, he also seems unaware of Lin Yuan’s circumstances."
Once the few of them left, those remaining in the hall started discussing animatedly.
"Ying Qiu, send soone to find out what Lin Yuan’s situation is, and why Third Grandfather considers it so important! Imdiately." Pei Shijing stared at the place where the three had disappeared, and said coldly.
************
Pei Zhangluo led Lin Yuan not far away, arriving at another pavilion.
At this mont, the charcoal fire in the pavilion was burning brightly, warming the interior like the warm spring of March.
A few n entered the pavilion, where the attendant had already set out wine and food. The table was laden with sautéed chicken, fat goose, stead fish, and smoked at, all extrely sumptuous.
"Please, Young Friend, sit down."
Pei Zhangluo gestured with his hand, and sat down with Lin Yuan.
The middle-aged man also took a seat.
"Young Friend Lin, allow to introduce you. This brave man is nad Shen Wanpo, a master of the sixth grade of the Condensing Yuan stage." Pei Zhangluo lifted his cup of wine and introduced.
"Greetings to Pill Master Lin, I ask for your guidance." Shen Wanpo likewise raised his glass in salute.
Sixth grade of the Condensing Yuan stage, such profound martial prowess, Lin Yuan’s heart gave a jolt.
Guessing internally about handling such a presence was daunting. Earlier, when Yue Jiang struck, he suddenly sensed a surge of imnse Yuan Qi behind him, causing him to remain steady.
However, sensing the depths of the Yuan Qi also shook his heart. Now revealed, Shen Wanpo was indeed a sixth-grade Condensing Yuan master.
"Not at all, not at all."
Lin Yuan drank the wine in one gulp, expressing modesty.
Although he didn’t understand Pei Zhangluo’s intentions, judging by his deanor, it shouldn’t be anything harmful.
"Haha. Let’s eat first." Pei Zhangluo chuckled lightly, and only after watching Lin Yuan eat so sautéed chicken did he speak: "This ti, I invited you, Young Friend, to join our Pill Pavilion and take charge of a branch of the Pei family. What do you think, Young Friend?"
"In charge of a branch?" Lin Yuan’s heart stirred upon hearing this.
His goal of becoming a Pill Master was to free himself from Huaining Hall and escape the vortex. Just when he began to reveal his talent in alchemy, the Pei family quickly approached.
It seems the Pei family indeed places great importance on him.
"The Elder’s offer is an honor; how could Lin Yuan lack sensibility." Lin Yuan set down his chopsticks and cupped his hands in reply.
"No need to be so polite, Young Friend, continue to eat." Pei Zhangluo, seeing Lin Yuan agree readily, smiled contentedly.
The three drank a few more glasses and ate until they were half-full, before Pei Zhangluo spoke again: "Young Friend, after your assessnt today, I hurriedly reported to the Family Head. The Family Head is extrely concerned about you. He specially instructed to accomplish two things well."
"I am willing to hear the details." Lin Yuan nodded and replied calmly.
"First, it is imperative to ensure your safety, Young Friend. Shen Keqing here is our Pei family’s offering, now following you and never leaving your side. Should anything happen to you, Young Friend, I’m afraid I can’t bear the Family Head’s bla," Pei Zhangluo said with a shake of his head and a smile.
"A master of the sixth grade of the Condensing Yuan stage, never leaving my side!" Lin Yuan was startled, deeply impressed by the Pei family’s contemporary Family Head’s generosity.
Outwardly, Lin Yuan was rely a little Qi-Blood realm figure, yet sending a Condensing Yuan figure, deed quite a big-wig even in Yanghua, specifically to protect him, is such a luxurious thing.
"No rush, Young Friend. The second matter concerns the aforentioned branch affairs." Pei Zhangluo visibly sensed the tremor in Lin Yuan’s mood and lightly said with a smile: "I hope, Young Friend, that you can take charge of one of our Pei family’s four major departnts, the Beiqing Hall."
"If you agree, Young Friend, from now on, all affairs of Beiqing Hall, large and small, are yours to decide."
