43 Martial Training Begins (2/2)
”Little friend please be at ease, pain is the least of my concern in my career as military personnel,” Lin Tianhua said with a smile on his face. Both his eyes calm as still water, ”We can forego the anesthetic. Just go ahead.”
Ye Lingchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Following that, the servants had brought over silver needles, alcohol, and a fire pit they prepared in advance.
These silver needles were different from the previous ones. All eight needles were of different lengths, and when held, carried significant weight with them. The material resembled metal, yet carried a jade-like gentleness. It was obvious that they were painstakingly made and were extraordinary in nature.
”Brother Ye, these silver needles are a gift from Grandmaster Jiang. It is rumored to have belonged to Yang Jizhou from the Ming dynasty,” Lin Ao explained.
”Excellent needles!” Ye Lingchen praised.
Grandmaster Jiang instantly added, ”Grandmaster Ye, these silver needles are just placed in our hospital without seeing any use. With your skills, these needles would be used to its full potential by your side, not to be left gathering dust in storage.”
Ye Lingchen took a glance at Grandmaster Jiang, ”I'll remember this favor!”
A good set of silver needles would increase the efficiency of the treatment.
Grandmaster Jiang's face blushed immediately as he was filled with excitement. He was waiting for this response from Ye Lingchen all along.
Throughout the treatment, Lin Tianhua never frowned once. He even managed to carry a conversation with Ye Lingchen, his expression peaceful.
No wonder this old man could raise a grandchild with the likes of Lin Ao.
Grandmaster Jiang, however, kept his eyes peeled, unblinking, staring hungrily at Ye Lingchen as he applied the needles, his eyes filled with awe.
As the treatment ended, they had a few words, then the Lin family arranged for their servants to send him back to school.
At that time, within the Lin family mansion, Lin Tianhua's complexion looked much better. His aged face carried an air of authority as he asked, ”Before coming here, what sort of trouble did Grandmaster Ye encounter?”
”It was the Lu Group father and son duo,” Lin Ao reiterated the events from earlier once more.
”Grandmaster Ye held back was so that he would not owe our Lin family a favor!” Lin Tianhua sighed. With a wave of his hand, ”Our Lin family must not let this slide so easily. Send someone over to give Lu Group a warning!”
…
By the time Ye Lingchen returned to the dorm, it was already almost 10 pm.
The three roommates had not retired to bed, but instead excitedly carrying out their battles in front of the computer.
Seeing Ye Lingchen returning home at such hours, their face showed a confusing expression, as though they completely understood what had happened.
Potato smiled creepily, ”Lil' Ye, you should hold out until 10:30 pm. That is when they lock the dormitory doors. That way you can legitimately book a room.”
Ye Lingchen laughed it off. If they knew that he had dinner with Xiao Feifei that night, they would probably go into a frenzy.
Xiao Feifei was a goddess of the screen after all, and these three are her die-hard fans.
The next morning, at 7 am, blinding sunlight shone upon them, signifying the beginning of their martial training.
Many of them had just got out of bed by that time, yet Ye Lingchen had already completed his morning exercise routine.
Finishing his breakfast at the canteen, he strolled towards the field.
At that time, there was a sizable crowd on the field. At a glance, everyone, regardless of gender, was all wearing camouflage uniforms given out specifically for martial training.
These teenagers only stayed together in the same dorm but were otherwise strangers to one another. Everyone was evaluating each other, occasionally exchanging few words, slowly getting acquainted.
