For the time being, Su Xin didn't know about the commotion on the Ranking List of Young Masters. He wasn't interested in knowing either. The only thing he had to do now was to recuperate and heal his injuries.
Although Su Xin won this battle, it wasn't an easy victory.
With Su Xin's current physical strength, he would be fine after a few days of rest. However, internal injuries were troublesome.
Nearly half of the meridians in Su Xin's body had been shattered. The Vital Qi that Su Xin could use was almost the same as the early stage of the Acquired Realm. If he exceeded this limit, his meridians would immediately explode, and he wouldn't be far from death.
Right now, Su Xin was basically half-crippled. Nearly half of his meridians were broken. Even with the healing medicine from Venerable Sword Luo Yun, he wouldn't be able to recover in a few months.
This time, Su Xin admitted that he had underestimated his enemy. He hadn't underestimated Zhu Zefang's strength, but he had underestimated Zhu Zefang's determination to kill him.
Not only had he invited the two secular disciples of Shaolin Temple, but he had also invited the assassin in green from the Blood Dress Tower. This put Su Xin in a passive position from the beginning, which was why he had fought so desperately.
Of course, if he had to do it again, Su Xin would still choose to lure Zhu Zefang out.
One shouldn't be afraid of thieves, but one should be afraid of thieves' hearts. It wasn't a good feeling to have someone secretly waiting to kill you.
If he could do it again, Su Xin would definitely take the initiative to set up a trap. At that time, it wouldn't be certain who would be the one to rob and kill who.
Su Xin was seriously injured and didn't go far. He stayed in the wilderness not far from Songyang Prefecture for two days to deal with the external injuries on his body. At least, he looked like a normal person and didn't look so wretched.
After changing into a spare set of clothes, Su Xin found an elegant young man in his early thirties from Wang Lianhua's human skin mask. He also put the Swimming Dragon Sword into his mustard seed bag. At least from the appearance, he didn't look like he had any relationship with Su Xin.
There were many warriors in Songyang Prefecture, so it wasn't suitable for him to recuperate. Thus, Su Xin chose to hide in Lingzhou Prefecture, which was next to Songyang Prefecture.
Lingzhou Prefecture was an ordinary small prefecture in Hannan Path. There wasn't even a decent sect in the surrounding area, so it was suitable for recuperation.
Although the Hannan Path belonged to the Central Plains, it wasn't very prosperous. However, compared to the Xiangnan Path, which was surrounded by dense forests, the prefecture capital of the Hannan Path was much wider. Even the small prefecture capital of the Lingzhou Prefecture was about the same size as the Chang Ning Prefecture.
Su Xin entered Lingzhou Prefecture stealthily and prepared to look for a quiet place to recuperation.
But at this time, Su Xin saw that the people on the street had all rushed to the front of a large house and were pointing at it, surrounding it so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
Su Xin patted a middle-aged man with a sword on his back and dressed like a wanderer in front of him. He asked, "Brother, may I ask what happened here?"
The middle-aged man turned around and saw an elegant young man. He asked in surprise, "You're not from Lingzhou Prefecture?"
Su Xin smiled and shook his head.
The middle-aged man pointed at the mansion in front of him mysteriously and said, "This mansion belongs to the Lin Family of Lingzhou Prefecture. There are so many people here today because someone wants to find a martial arts teacher for Lin Qing, the son of the Lin Family's family head. They're asking for ten taels of silver a month."
Su Xin was stunned. Was the Lin Family joking?
Some of the small clans in the local prefectures did indeed like to invite some martial artists from outside to be the teachers of their own disciples. The reason was very simple. It was because teaching martial arts to disciples was also a technical job. Those who were strong might not necessarily teach martial arts to others.
Just like in Shangshan City, Tao Qian was not the only Xiantian Stage martial artist. However, if other Xiantian Stage martial artists wanted to make a living, they would either choose to rely on Yan Huangjiu or his sons. Otherwise, they could only choose to work as an escort, which had no technical content.
However, Tao Qian could reopen Dong Lin Dojo. A bunch of martial artists who were as strong as him or even stronger than him would rush to send their disciples to his dojo.
Therefore, teaching martial arts to others was not something that just anyone could do. Similarly, the remuneration was never small. As a large family in Lingzhou Prefecture, the Lin Family actually offered ten taels of silver to find a teacher for their own disciple. If this wasn't a joke, then what was?
Did he think that martial artists were cabbages that could be found by the side of the street?
The middle-aged man could tell what Su Xin was thinking. He sighed and said, "This is not the Lin Family deliberately playing tricks on us. They were forced to do so.
Although the Lin Family was a large family in Lingzhou Prefecture, they did not have many people. The current family head was Lin Wanze. Although he was not very strong, only at the peak of the Houtian realm, he was considered a good person and had a good reputation.
Later on, Lin Wanze married three wives in a row, but all of them died prematurely. Some people said that Lin Wanze was destined to bring misfortune to his wife. In the end, Fang Qiaohua, a famous beauty on the eastern street, married Lin Wanze in order to bury her father.
Who would have thought that Fang Qiaohua would be fine in the end. She even gave birth to a son named Lin Qing.
Originally, everything was going well. However, Lin Wanze met with an accident during his cultivation and died after failing to break through to the Qi Hai realm, leaving behind an orphan and a widowed mother.
The family head of the Lin Family is now Lin Wanze's younger brother, Lin Wancheng. He is not a good person. "
The middle-aged man had a look of disdain. He sneered and said, "This Lin Wancheng wanted to bully the beautiful widowed wife once he became the family head. However, Fang Qiaohua resisted with all her might. In the end, the whole city knew about it. The Lin Family has lost all its face."
Around the middle-aged man, the people of Lingzhou Prefecture all had looks of agreement when they heard his words. They all disdained Lin Wancheng's character.
The onlookers here were not just idlers. Most of them were martial artists of Lingzhou Prefecture. Although most of them had not even reached the early stage of the Houtian realm, they still considered themselves to be people of Jianghu. Seeing Lin Wancheng's behavior, which was worse than a beast, they all expressed their anger.
The middle-aged man continued, "This is not the worst. The worst is Lin Wancheng's wife, Nie Hanmei.
Her husband wanted to bully her sister-in-law, but she thought that it was Fang Qiaohua who seduced her husband, so she started to target her.
Nie Hanmei's father is our Lingzhou Prefecture's Zhenwei Martial Arts School's master, 'Rushing Thunder Sword' Nie Yuan. He is a genuine Xiantian realm martial artist.
When Lin Wanze was alive, Nie Hanmei didn't dare to act recklessly. Now that Lin Wanze is dead, Nie Hanmei's words are more powerful than Lin Wancheng's.
From now on, Fang Qiaohua's life will be miserable. Her mother and son's monthly allowance is only ten taels of silver. It is enough to feed them, but they can forget about learning martial arts. They don't even have the qualifications to learn the Lin Family's martial arts.
Right now, Lin Qing is already ten years old, but he still hasn't officially started cultivating. He is almost past the best age for cultivation.
The other children of the Lin Family are all learning martial arts in the Zhenwei Martial Arts School, but Lin Qing can only watch. If Fang Qiaohua doesn't think of something, this good child will be crippled. She was forced to pay ten taels of silver to hire a martial arts teacher for her son. "
There was a notice pasted on the Lin Mansion's gate. If someone took it down, they could become Lin Qing's teacher. There were many martial artists present. Many of them sympathized with Fang Qiaohua's mother, and many of them despised Lin Wancheng and his wife. However, no one dared to take down the notice.
Sympathizing and despising were one thing, but if they were asked to openly stand on Fang Qiaohua's side and go against the Lin Family, they wouldn't dare.
No matter what, the Lin Family is a big family in the Lingzhou Prefecture. These small martial artists can't afford to offend them.
Moreover, Nie Hanmei's backer is Zhenwei Martial Arts School's' Rushing Thunder Sword 'Nie Yuan. He is one of the few Xiantian realm martial artists in the Lingzhou Prefecture.
If they help Fang Qiaohua, they will offend Nie Hanmei. Offending Nie Hanmei is equivalent to offending Nie Yuan. Unless you don't want to stay in the Lingzhou Prefecture anymore, who would dare to offend Nie Yuan?
The Lin Mansion's gate was opened. A beautiful woman around thirty years old walked out with a ten-year-old boy. She looked eagerly at the martial artists surrounding the Lin Mansion, but everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Behind her, there were two people dressed as servants guarding the gate. They had a mocking look on their faces.
With their Mistress here, this woman still wants to find a teacher for her son? Dream on!
At this moment, Su Xin's eyes revealed a look of interest.
He wanted to recuperate in the Lingzhou Prefecture for a few months. Recuperating is not cultivation. He just needs to find a secret room to stay in and circulate his True Qi. Although this process is boring, at least he can do something.
With Su Xin's current injury, it is impossible to circulate his True Qi. If he uses even a little bit of True Qi, his meridians will have the risk of breaking.
His way of recuperating is to sleep, eat, eat, sleep. Occasionally, he will take healing medicine to speed up the process and let the meridians in his body heal automatically.
It is very boring to eat and sleep all day and do nothing. Now, the Lin Mansion's matter has aroused Su Xin's interest. He will treat it as a training session.
Moreover, Su Xin also wants to test whether he has the talent to teach martial arts to others.
After all, imparting martial arts to others was different from imparting martial arts to the gang members in Chang Ning Mansion. The latter was too crude. It was like stuffing martial arts moves into the heads of the gang members by rote. Basically, anyone could do it.
With this thought in mind, under everyone's shocked gaze, Su Xin walked out and took down the notice. He said lightly, "This job, I will take it."
Everyone present was stunned. Where did this man come from? How dare he get involved in the Lin Family's matter?
The middle-aged warrior who explained the Lin Family's matter to Su Xin suddenly slapped his thigh and sighed with pity.
This person doesn't look too young. Why is he so impetuous? Is this something you are qualified to participate in?
That Nie Hanmei hates Fang Qiaohua and her son. Lin Wancheng is not a good person either. Now that he has compassion to help the mother and son, it will not be easy for him to escape in the future.
