Chapter 436: Chapter 405 Enlightenment_1

I feel a bit disappointed!

Upon hearing Xu Mu’s words, Yin Wen was astonished and a little relieved. As long as Xu Mu had no malicious intentions towards her, that was all that mattered. However, she didn’t know why but after feeling relieved, she inexplicably felt a sense of loss.

Did he not take an interest in me because I didn’t meet his aesthetic standards?

Always confident in her looks, Yin Wen wouldn’t have had any doubts if Xu Mu hadn’t chosen to keep her around. But the fact that she was the only one left out of the trio to train the others made her question her own allure.

As she recalled, during their fight, Xu Mu did not show any sympathy for her. The wounds she received were more severe than those of the man in golden robe who accompanied her.

Unaware of Yin Wen’s thoughts, Xu Mu left the tavern to rest after he finished speaking.

Looking at the white-headed eagle still standing in the courtyard, she was somewhat tempted to seize the opportunity to make an escape.

But she dared not.

“Since he could let Xue and the people from the Kang family go, it means he doesn’t harbor a murderous intention, at least not towards me. In this situation, it’s best for me not to stir up more trouble!”

Considering the absence of danger, Yin Wen decided it was better to play it safe.

Zhang Ergou, having slept the previous night, was invigorated now. When he heard that Xu Mu had appointed the beauty in front of him to be his teacher, his excitement was palpable.

I knew the young master wouldn’t forget me!

Feeling teary, Zhang Ergou thought he finally saw hope. Maybe one day he could be as powerful as Xu Mu.

“Miss Yin, when shall we start?”

Impatient, Zhang Ergou asked.

Yin Wen frowned slightly. She had originally wanted to find a place to rest first. She was injured and had written martial methods all night long. She was somewhat tired.

But as Zhang Ergou insisted, she didn’t feel it was right to refuse. She didn’t know what the relationship between Zhang Ergou and Xu Mu was. If she refused, she might offend Xu Mu, and that would definitely be troublesome.

In the end, she decided to tolerate it for now, and start teaching for a bit, at least to show good will.

“Is there a training ground nearby?” Yin Wen asked.

“This…”

Zhang Ergou was at a loss for words. He knew nothing about such things.

Fortunately, Yang Jiang standing beside him, intervened to take the flak for him.

The two could now be said to be on the same side so helping out was a given. Besides, he too wanted to understand the martial method he had just received.

“There’s an official training ground nearby, I’ll take you there!”

Yang Jiang took the two out of their current location and in no time they reached their destination- a spacious training ground spanning a good five hundred square meters. In the corner of the wall was a neatly arranged assortment of various weapons along with wooden poles for practicing boxing and kicking, sandbags for practicing speed, and stone dumbbells for strength building exercises.

Normally, there would be people guarding the training ground and given Yang Jiang’s social status, it would have been difficult for him to use it. He usually trained at his own home.

But now, seeing him along with Zhang Ergou and Yin Wen, the guards dared not utter a word but instead stood guard with a smile, awaiting commands at any moment.

Because in the county city of today, Xu Mu was the undisputed local Tyrant. Until Xu Mu was defeated, everyone had to behave themselves. No one dared to harbor ill feelings, and even less dared to stir up any trouble.

To be honest, Yang Jiang quite enjoyed this borrowed authority.

“Miss Yin, Brother Zhang, feel free to use anything here. I’ll be over there. If you need anything, you can call me anytime!”

Having said that, Yang Jiang found a deserted spot, carefully took out the “Storm Wolf Imperial Jue” that Xu Mu had given him, started to imitate the instructions inside and began practicing.

Due to the training system of this world, there are very few instances of practicing while sitting. Most of their martial methods are dynamic, only a small part of the martial methods used to regulate blood and energy requires sitting practice.
