Chapter 202: Chapter 56: Lin Chen: What a Messy Reply After Reading

The valley was extremely wide, with a bamboo grove in one place.

Zhao Cangsheng stood outside the bamboo grove, hands clasped behind his back, calmly watching the six people before him.

"Senior Zhao, by doing this, you are breaking the rules."

"Senior Zhao, where is Lin Chen?"

"Senior Zhao, you are being too domineering, you should let Lin Chen come out and let him decide who to choose as the instructor."

As soon as the six middle-aged men landed, they couldn’t help but speak. Zhao Cangsheng’s expression didn’t change. After they finished speaking, he suddenly took off his upper garment.

His thin upper body bore several hideous scars.

"This scar was left from the battle with the Yu Kingdom."

"This scar here was from a battle with a demon beast from the Zheng Kingdom."

"And this scar was from charging into the ice plains and slaying thirty demon beasts."

Zhao Cangsheng pointed at the scars on his body, "I fought for the country all my life and bear the scars of battle; why can’t I find a successor to pass on my legacy in my old age?"

"Senior Zhao, it is certainly within your right to find a successor, it’s just that..."

"Do not let the heroes of Liang bleed and cry again. Have you forgotten the edict of the Grand Ancestor Emperor?" Zhao Cangsheng directly interrupted, his face full of grief.

The six, including Min Huanbo, exchanged glances. It was the classic "do not let the heroes bleed and cry" scene of Senior Zhao.

"Senior Zhao, your sacrifices and contributions for Liang, how could we not respect them? But Lin Chen’s situation is special, he... he can’t withstand your trials."

Min Huanbo spoke helplessly, and another middle-aged man in a gray robe immediately followed up, "Senior Zhao, Lin Chen is walking the Extreme Martial Arts Path. My teacher once walked this path as well. Let Lin Chen come with me; I have the experience to guide him."

Before Zhao Cangsheng could speak, the man with the goatee bluntly exposed him, "Old Jin, what experience do you have? Your teacher walked the Extreme Martial Arts Path, but you didn’t. You even lost your teacher’s legacy; how dare you bring it up here?"

"Senior Brother Cai is right. Senior Brother Jin, you are not suited to teach Lin Chen. Although I haven’t walked the Extreme Martial Arts Path, nor has my teacher, I have trained in leg techniques. Who here can surpass me in this?"

The tallest middle-aged man in the group looked proud. "Since Lin Chen’s palm technique and horizontal cultivation method have already reached perfection, he only lacks a leg technique. Letting him follow me would be the most suitable." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Learn leg technique from you? Besides running faster, what else is your leg technique good for?"

...

...

Listening to the six of them argue, Zhao Cangsheng was exasperated, "If you want to argue, do it elsewhere. In any case, Lin Chen will be with me for these three months. It’s not that I’m seeking Lin Chen; he came looking for me. Xue Yun witnessed it."

Min Huanbo and the others were speechless internally. Although they didn’t know what happened, from Ji Feng’s words, it was evident that Senior Zhao had been up to some trick.

Seeing Senior Zhao act so shamelessly, they realized that since Lin Chen entered this bamboo grove, he was unlikely to return.

Such a promising talent!

Min Huanbo sighed inwardly. It was all the mountain wind’s fault. Had it not been for the chilly breeze, making him go back to change clothes and wait a little longer, or enter the Thousand-Step Mist like Senior Zhao, wouldn’t he be the one securing the talent?

The six weren’t blaming Senior Zhao’s shamelessness, but rather frustrated that they weren’t the ones being shameless.

"There are quite a few good seedlings in this batch, enough for you all to share, so stop targeting Lin Chen," Zhao Cangsheng ignored the quarrel between the six and turned towards the bamboo grove.

Min Huanbo and the others smiled bitterly. Once someone was under Senior Zhao’s hand, it was unlikely they could be taken back.

"This isn’t right. Senior Zhao’s actions are breaking the rules. If everyone does this, it will be chaos. This must be reported to the academic platform’s lord to ensure justice."

One person spoke angrily. Before the others could respond, his silhouette left an afterimage on the spot, heading deeper into the valley.

"Senior Brother Chen is probably going to be disappointed. Senior Zhao’s status is quite special, after all. Even the academic platform’s lord could be helpless."

"I think Junior Brother Chen’s actions are correct. No matter how special Senior Zhao’s status is, rules should not be broken. I will accompany Junior Brother Chen."

Another person left, leaving Min Huanbo and the remaining four exchanging a look. Since when were these two so bold?

Dare to confront Senior Zhao so directly?

"Oh no, we’ve been tricked!"

After a few breaths, Min Huanbo seemed to realize something, "We’ve been duped, Senior Brother Chen and the others didn’t go to find the academic platform lord to report, they want to imitate Senior Zhao!"

Up until now, there have already been four students who can endure up to a thousand steps in the Thousand-Step Mist, but according to the rules, they have to wait until all the students have gathered, and then the instructors can choose students for special training.

Now that Senior Zhao broke the rules, his words just now enlightened Senior Brother Chen and the others.

This cohort indeed has several good seedlings.

If Senior Zhao can do this, why can’t they?

The other three, upon being alerted by Min Huanbo, realized the truth and were also angered. Senior Brother Chen and the others were too cunning.

They actually believed those two went to report to the academic platform lord.

"We can’t let their scheme succeed!"

"Stop them quickly!"

The six of Min Huanbo had come quickly and left just as swiftly.

Within the bamboo grove, Zhao Cangsheng watched the departing six with disdain, snorting, "All’s fair in war; some people just don’t understand that the quick hand wins, and the slow hand loses."
