They were shocked not because Martial Path Mountain had problems, but because the contents of the note pasted on the pillar were unacceptable.
Notice: Due to poor management, we have no rice to cook. We will temporarily seal the mountain. If you have any urgent matters, you can find me at Jiang City's Mingguang Road, Zhang Tianshan will stay.
"This …" Lin Fan was speechless, "Cousin, Martial Path Mountain has already gone bankrupt, shouldn't we head back?"
Zhou Zhongmao was filled with disbelief, "How did this happen, Uncle didn't say that."
That was true.
Lin Wanyi only knew that Zhang Tianshan was doing well, but he only found out many years ago when the two of them exchanged letters.
Of course, Zhang Tianshan couldn't say, "Bro, I'm doing really badly now."
Could he say that?
Wasn't that slapping his own face? Men couldn't say that they couldn't do it, even if they couldn't, they had to bear it.
Yuan Tianchu felt sad.
What was the purpose of running such a long way?
Just to read a piece of paper?
"Brother Lin, I suggest we return to You City. Martial Path Mountain is a hole. Look at the situation, it is so tragic." Yuan Tianchu wanted to head back.
But he wouldn't go back alone, otherwise, he would disappoint his father.
As long as Lin Fan took the lead, he would have a reason to explain.
You can't blame me for this. Martial Path Mountain closed and Lin Fan insisted on coming back, so I could only follow.
"No, Uncle gave me an order that no matter what, we can't go back." Zhou Zhongmao said.
The night he left You City, not only did Uncle help him open up his meridians, but he also instructed him not to return. No matter what the situation was, he had to stay there.
He stared at Yuan Tianchu in rage, his gaze was like if he dared to trick his cousin to return, he would take his life.
Yuan Tianchu was smart and understood what Zhou Zhongmao was thinking right away.
He didn't dare to offend this fellow who looked so simple and honest.
He was pretty much a demon hiding under that simple and honest expression.
"No, Brother Lin, I feel like this is Old Master Lin's test for you, a test of whether or not you can inherit the family. Old Master Lin definitely knows that Martial Path Mountain has become like this, so he wants to see what we will do. Will we flee and return, or will we head forwards and solve the problem?" Yuan Tianchu said.
What did he mean?
He was being threatened.
He had never been threatened in his life.
But sadly, in this short period of time, he was threatened by Lin Fan, Zhou Zhongmao, and Liang Yongqi.
Life was so wonderful.
Wait a minute!
Yuan Tianchu frowned. He felt that things weren't so simple. There was a problem here.
"Brother Yuan, what's with your expression?" Lin Fan saw his serious expression and seemed to understand something.
Yuan Tianchu paced back and forth, his head lowered in deep thought. Then, he raised his head, his eyes shining, "Brother Lin, this is a trap, a trap to test us."
"Based on my guesses, Old Master Lin definitely knows about the Martial Path Mountain situation, but he still told us to come from so far away. What is his goal?"
"The purpose is simple. It's a test for us."
"To be able to open a sect in the mountain, how could it be so weak? It is obvious that this is Martial Path Mountain's test for us, so we have to go through it and find the true path into Martial Path Mountain."
Liang Yongqi asked weirdly, "Based on what you mean, this isn't Martial Path Mountain?"
She said it as if it was true.
He felt that Yuan Tianchu was an interesting person; he only knew how to brag like he knew everything.
Lin Fan didn't say anything. He felt that Yuan Tianchu's words made sense.
Yuan Tianchu walked in front of the paper and pointed at the contents, "Look at the content, there is a problem. Bad management, no rice to cook."
"What is bad management, what is no rice to cook? Normal sects have at least a hundred disciples, and at most a thousand. To be able to establish a sect, there is no such thing as bad management. As for no rice to cook, that is nonsense. So many disciples have arms and legs, so how could they starve to death. Also, the environment here is a mountain, and there is a city in the distance. Catching some wild animals and selling them in the city is also money."
"Look at the last line, Jiang City Mingguang Street Flavor Manor Building. This is a clue for us to search for clues there."
"Brother Lin, one has to say that Old Master Lin has a close relationship with Martial Path Mountain, to be able to arrange such a test."
After Yuan Tianchu's deduction, it did make sense.
People who read a few books were really good.
When Wang Family Young Master Wang Yunfei came to You City, Yuan Tianchu calmed down. He recited poems with girls and discussed literature. All this knowledge was in his heart.
Lin Fan thought about it and then looked at Yuan Tianchu, "I didn't expect you to have some skills."
Yuan Tianchu smiled in delight, "It is just a small matter, not difficult at all. However, there are some details that I need to deduce."
He was even panting after praising a few times.
Liang Yongqi looked at Yuan Tianchu in disdain. What was he so proud of?
What he hated the most were people who had a glib tongue.
He was exactly the same as that surnamed Lin. Why didn't he notice it in the past?
"These are all your guesses, who knows if it is true or not?" Liang Yongqi said.
Yuan Tianchu smiled, "Whether it is true or not, we will know when we see it."
Liang Yongqi's distrust made him unhappy.
What did he mean?
He was looking down on him.
If he had balls, then follow him to Jiang City. See how I will use facts to slap his face.
"Gou 'zi, what do you think?" Lin Fan asked.
"Young Master, whatever you say." Gou 'zi replied. Since Young Master asked, then he would definitely stand on the same path as Young Master.
If Young Master thought that Yuan Tianchu was talking nonsense, then what he said was nonsense.
Lin Fan thought about it for a moment, "Let's go, let's head to Jiang City to take a look."
He didn't understand his father's true thoughts.
He felt like there was something wrong with this.
However, he really didn't know what the problem was.
Jiang City.
"It really is a luxurious city." Lin Fan said.
That was indeed the case.
Even if one didn't enter the city, one could tell just by looking at the city walls.
You City's city walls were old and really low. If one met someone who knew martial arts, they would be able to climb up right away.
There were guards at the city gates.
They didn't check the people who entered. It was like a decoration.
The roads were paved with green bricks. The streets were really busy with people walking to and fro. If one didn't look, one wouldn't know.
The gap was way too big, wasn't it?
Why was You City so old and broken?
He couldn't understand.
He found a passerby and asked where Weifu Restaurant was.
Not long later.
A luxurious restaurant appeared in front of them. This was much more luxurious than Drunk Fragrance Pavillion. In Lin Fan's words, Weifu Restaurant was a five-star restaurant while Drunk Fragrance Pavillion was a two-star restaurant.
There was no comparison at all.
There was an old man who set up a fortune-telling stall at the entrance, using the ground as a table.
There was a copper bell in his left hand.
On his right was a banner which wrote, Iron Mouth God Fortune-Teller Zhang Tianshan.
Lin Fan and the others stood at the entrance, "Go ask whether or not Zhang Tianshan is here."
The fortune-teller Zhang Tianshan wanted to bluff these few people who came from other places. However, when he heard that they were looking for him, he squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears to listen.
Yuan Tianchu said, "I think we won't be able to get anything out of him. If we want to enter Martial Path Mountain, we have to go through this test."
Lin Fan said, "Let's ask first."
The fortune-teller Zhang Tianshan got up without changing his expression. He went to the alley to change his clothes. With a shake of his body, he looked like a celestial being.
He then returned to his original spot and waited for the fish to take the bait.
