Chapter 89 - The New Master (2) (1/2)

”Well... if you know him, aren't you going to stop this old man?” Yao Ying asked. The room would be destroyed thoroughly by them if the fight didn't stop anytime soon. Yao Ying could estimate how much the decoration cost --- some of the decorations were antiques and they were priceless! It would be a loss to them if this continued on. His heart was bleeding because of his mind could quickly calculate about their hefty loss.

”Let the old man have fun first or the consequences will be bad for me! If I stop him now, I will the one who suffers the loss!” Lin Jian leisurely watched the show while casually drinking his tea. It was better for him to lose a little bit of money rather than receiving the wrath of this Big Buddha. Lin Jian really didn't dare!

”Who is he?” Yao Ying asked curiously.

”Ah... I forgot to introduce him to you. That old man is your soon to be master,” Lin Jian introduced the old man with an easygoing manner.

”What?” Yao Ying asked in surprise. This old man was his soon to be master? He knew that this old man was the real deal, but having a drunkard as a teacher? Wasn't this some kind of a joke?

Lin Jian laughed. ”Don't worry! When he's sober, he's a good teacher.”

”Really?” Yao Ying was unconvinced. But well... this was the teacher that General Lin had approved, otherwise, how could he become Lin Jian's Master? He should probably trust General Lin's judgment.

”If he's sober long enough though...” Lin Jian mumbled to himself. However, his voice was really small and Yao Ying wasn't able to hear what he said clearly.

”What?” Yao Ying asked, trying to make Lin Jian repeat his sentence.

”Nothing!” Lin Jian innocently answered Yao Ying.

Yao Ying decided that he shouldn't ponder over what Lin Jian had said. He knew the brat wouldn't tell him anything, so instead of being stubborn, he asked another question. ”How many disciples do the old man has?” Yao Ying asked curiously.

”Before you become his disciple... there are only two disciples --- including me. Master is a bit picky,” Lin Jian answered.

”Do the both of you train together?” Yao Ying asked.

”No. Shi Xiong [1] has traveled all around the world by the time I became Master's disciple.”

”Oh... so you never meet him before?”

”Nope... never.”

Yao Ying nodded his head. This old man only received three disciples. Either he was too lazy to have many disciples or he was unpopular. He was probably the latter, in Yao Ying's opinion. Well... duh... the man was in a bad condition when Yao Ying first met him. It was no wonder that he didn't think highly of the old man.

*Bang*

*Thump*

Various sounds could be heard inside the room and the fight... it was quite a sight to behold. Both of the burly bodyguards were slammed down on the floor at the same time, while the drunk old man was still standing proudly -- albeit his unkempt appearance and bloodshot eyes. The shopkeeper's shocked expressions, the bodyguard's groaning, and the smug drunkard were a particular sight to see. Yao Ying felt the scene was quite funny.

Finally, Lin Jian decided to have mercy on the bodyguards and the shopkeeper. ”All of you can go now! I will handle this,” Lin Jian said. He reckoned it was already enough to make the old man satisfied.

The three men felt like they were being pardoned. They quickly thanked Lin Jian, bade goodbye, and ran out of the room without a second thought.

The old man squinted his blurry eyes, trying to see the two youngsters in front of him.
