Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist

Chapter 348: Chapter 110: Stop Arguing, You’re All Dead

Linhu Village is now well-practiced in hosting banquets, everyone followed Zhao Canghe to the entrance of the ancestral hall, and naturally, Lin Chen’s group sat at a table.

”Isn’t that Lin Chen’s Senior Sister Jiang?”

At a table not far away, Lin Liang saw Jiang Qing, who was sitting next to his brother, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

”Liang, do you know this Miss Jiang?” Second Aunt nearby asked curiously, and even Mrs. Lin perked up her ears to listen.

”When we were looking for Qianqian, this senior sister of Brother Chen was there, and she even helped out, but I only met her that once.”

Lin Liang answered with a smile; helping out was an understatement, she single-handedly took down a group of people.

No wonder this Senior Sister Jiang would help upon hearing about Linhu Village; turns out she’s the daughter of Lord Jiang.

”Did Chen’Er ever mention anything about this Miss Jiang?” Second Aunt continued to ask nosily.

”No, Brother Chen rarely talks to me about matters at the martial arts school.” Lin Liang shook his head, Brother Chen gets up even earlier than I do and sleeps later than I do, he doesn’t have time to discuss school matters.

Second Aunt felt somewhat disappointed, gazing at the backs of Lin Chen and Jiang Qing, unable to help but sigh, ”They really look like a perfect match.”

”Second Aunt, don’t say such things. Our family may not mind, but we shouldn’t harm Miss Jiang’s reputation.”

Father Lin stepped in to stop her, people in the village are used to speaking freely, but the circumstances are different here; Lord Jiang is a big figure, and Miss Jiang is his precious daughter; joking is not suitable here.

”You women with your loose tongues, can’t the whole table of dishes keep your mouths shut?”

Second Uncle joined in, giving Second Aunt a fierce glare. Typically, Second Aunt would have retorted, but now, under Second Uncle’s glare, she remained uncharacteristically silent.

The Lin Family is doing well now, and the head of the household has become assertive, but for Second Aunt, she’d prefer her husband being more assertive. At least she has face with others, and now there are countless matchmakers coming for Hui’Er.

After the banquet, Jiang Duanchao took his leave. As for persuading Lin Chen to join the Canglan Martial Arts Academy, he ultimately did not bring it up.

As he mentioned before, whether Lin Chen chooses the Canglan Martial Arts Academy ultimately depends on how much importance Canglan places on Lin Chen.

”Aunt, I’m heading back. Whenever you have time, let Junior Brother Lin bring you to Raozhou Prefecture, I’ll show you around the streets of Raozhou Prefecture.”

Before leaving with her father, Jiang Qing deliberately walked over to Mrs. Lin’s table, greeted her affectionately, and also noticed Father Lin sitting beside her. However, some matters should not be rushed, and it wasn’t the right time to greet Father Lin.

Her mother had said, establishing a good relationship with Mrs. Lin and leaving a good impression was important, but not to be overly enthusiastic.

Father Lin and Mrs. Lin are just ordinary folks; too much enthusiasm might scare them.

”Uh... okay.”

Mrs. Lin did not expect Jiang Qing to greet her before leaving and responded with some flustered surprise.

Jiang Qing smiled slightly, and under the watchful gaze of her father with a somber face, she lifted her dress and got onto the carriage. Finally, under the gaze of many villagers from Linhu Village, the carriage slowly left Linhu Village.

”Miss Jiang is truly gentle. Her smile makes me melt. As expected from the young lady of a prominent family, not like those young ladies in town at all.”

Hearing Second Aunt’s words, Lin Liang looked down and pursed his lips, gentle?

If you haven’t witnessed the fierce side of this Miss Jiang, when you do, it might scare you stiff, Second Aunt.

...

...

Jiang Qing’s arrival and departure did not affect Lin Chen’s training; the only difference was the enchanting silhouette of a girl in a ruqun lingering in his mind.

A day later.

With the publication from the Military Affairs Department being spread from the Military Affairs Hall and Military Affairs Department, Poyang County was abuzz again. Many aristocrats thought about visiting Linhu Village, but to their astonishment, they found they couldn’t enter Linhu Village.

Far from Linhu Village, there were guards stationed at the crossroads, and apart from the villagers from Linhu Village and ordinary folks being allowed to enter and exit, all martial artists were stopped.

This was an order from the County Magistrate of Poyang County, forbidding anyone to disturb Lin Chen’s training, and these aristocrats could only leave disappointedly.

...

...

Three days later, the entire martial artist community of Raozhou Prefecture was shocked by a piece of news.

The long-established martial arts clan, the Huo Family, was raided by the Raozhou Prefecture. All Huo family members were taken away; the vast Huo Mansion disappeared overnight.

Most martial artists did not know what happened to the Huo Family, but a few well-informed ones knew some inside news, though they did not reveal it to the outside world.

Linhu Village.

Jia Nanzhu, looking at the official document sent by the Raozhou Prefecture Government Office, had a fierce light in his old eyes.

The Huo Family was indeed seeking death, even thinking of targeting Lin Chen.

What Huo Zhong didn’t know was that Bu Wenbin from the Military Affairs Department had been secretly monitoring every action of the Huo Family.

Not to mention assassinating Lin Chen, even if a member of the Huo Family appeared in Poyang County, they would immediately be secretly taken away for questioning.

”Li Family!”

Regarding the Huo Family, Jia Nanzhu wasn’t worried. Since he was Lin Chen’s teacher, he had long arranged everything for Lin Chen’s safety; what he didn’t expect was that the document stated that it was the Li Family who reported the Huo Family.

The Huo family intended to assassinate Lin Chen and leaked the information to the Li Family, which in turn reported the matter to the Military Affairs Hall, leading to the thunderous action by the Raozhou Prefecture Government Office and Military Affairs Department against the Huo Family.
