Chapter 734 -218: Different Experiences_2

After becoming pregnant, the Second Young Miss Jiang was hindered by her condition and decided to escape alone to avoid burdening her lover, thus disappearing for eight years.

Originally, she concealed her identity and hid very well, avoiding any detection from the Jiang’s Clan.

The reason for the scene that happened today was that Second Young Miss Jiang noticed Link’s strong desire for training and thus proactively contacted the Jiang’s Clan, hoping to get a training method suitable for Link’s physique.

Furthermore, the Jiang Family brothers from Tianshui County who had come to “retrieve” Second Young Miss Jiang, despised Link, who they referred to as the “bastard child”.

Not only did they not provide a training method, but they also attempted to separate mother and son, not even leaving a place for Link to reside.

When Link was abandoned by them, he was penniless.

A seven-year-old child in such a situation would either starve to death or become a street urchin.

This shows that the anger of the Jiang’s Clan is indeed intense and has lasted to this day.

Unable to express their anger towards Second Young Miss Jiang and her lover, they turned it towards Link.

Finally, there is a strong sense of social progress disconnection.

Seven years ago, Link was born in a near-modern hospital.

Despite the fact that he lived in the remote mountains with his single mom these years, he still occasionally went out.

According to Link’s initial observations, a small county town has the development level of early Republic of China Shanghai.

Landline telephones, wireless telegrams, electric lights, trams, and movies are all fully equipped.

Yet the Jiang Family from Tianshui County still use horse carriages as a mode of transport.

This made Link quite curious.

Is it because the automobile industry is not flourishing, or merely for the purpose of showcasing the historical heritage of an old-school family?

After indulging in his thoughts for a while, Link gathered his somewhat scattered thoughts and began contemplating on his next course of action.

“Fortunately, I was prepared.”

Soon, Link, having figured everything out, let out a sigh of relief.

In these past few years, taking advantage of his single mom’s lack of interest in money, Link had managed to save quite a sum of money.

In the Water Curtain Cave he currently resided in, there was enough silver for Link’s living expenses for two or three years.

However…

“The plan has changed, and the money is somewhat insufficient.”

Sighing, Link got up, spread out his bedding on the dry natural stone bed, and slept in his clothes.

A child ought to behave like a child.

He should go to bed early and get up early, ensuring proper growth.

The next day.

Link got up early, used the waterfall water to wash and get refreshed, then, after eating some dry food, he performed a set of exercises facing the morning sun.

After warming up, Link chose his direction and, carrying enough silver, headed down the mountain.

It was not until noon that he finally emerged from the mountain.

After finding a clean source of water to freshen up just slightly and eat some dry food, Link came to the side of the main road, planning to hitch a ride into the city.

Not long after, Link seized an opportunity to flag down a cow cart selling firewood into the county town.

The old man driving the cart had an honest and simple appearance and demeanor, dressed like a farmer.

“Old sir, can I trouble you to give me a ride?”

After stopping the cart, Link directly pulled out a copper yuan, shaking it in his hand, “I was on a school outing, and I forgot to play and missed the bus.”

“The young man is a scholar.”

The old man looked Link up and down, grinned, “Little scholar, if you don’t mind the clutter in my cart, just come on up, there’s no need for money.”

“Don’t mind, don’t mind.”

Link promptly climbed onto the cart, sat next to the old man, and stuffed the copper coin directly into the old man’s palm, seriously saying, “Master taught us that when asking for help, one must prepare a gift as gratitude. This is proper etiquette. Old man, please accept it. Otherwise, Master will find out and scold me.”

“Good, good, good, what a fine young man!”

Upon hearing this, the old man no longer refused, accepted the copper yuan, and went back on the road.

“Which school does the young man attend? I see you don’t seem to be wearing a uniform.”

The cow cart moved slowly forward.

The old man was asking casually.

Based on his chosen role as a county town student, Link was already prepared.

During the journey to the county town, over an hour’s cart ride, Link chatted on and off with the old man without any mishap.

Upon arriving in town, Link declined the old man’s kind offer to take him to school, thanked him sincerely, and then parted ways.

After just a few steps, he had disappeared from the old man’s view.

“What a clever, good young man!”

Seeing this, the old man couldn’t help but sigh, turned around and led the cow cart to the front of a wealthy family’s street, and began to loudly sell his goods.

If he hadn’t already given up his old business, encountering a good-looking young man like this, he would have definitely attempted to kidnap him, no matter what.

It’s such a pity…

It’s a pity that he had already retired from the Jianghu, and a pity that a young child, not even a teenager, could pose a fatal threat to him, forcing him to give up his plans of another big score.

“Damn it, people these days, morality is completely lost!”

Link grumbled to himself as he quickly made his way to his destination.

The old man he picked as his target was chosen carefully based on his appearance – he didn’t look like a bad person.

Who would have thought that after getting in the carriage and exchanging a few words, Link realized that the man seemed like a human trafficker, always subtly trying to size him up.

“Strength! Strength!”

Living with his single mother in the past, he never felt inadequate.

However, the first thing he does after leaving home is almost get into trouble. This made Link even more determined to quickly recover his strength.

Even if his strength could not recover quickly, he should at least find a way to unlock some spiritual power, or inspiration.

While pondering over all this, Link finally arrived at the best-rated Octagon Martial Arts School in Fuli County.

Two majestic stone lions stood guard on either side of the deep red bronze-plated gate.

The gate was studded with many rivets.

“What do you want?”

Circling around to the side entrance, Link was immediately interrogated.

“Enroll, learn martial arts.”

“Where are your parents?”

“Learning martial arts is for self-reliance. No need for parents to accompany.”

“Great ambition! Did you bring enough money?”

“Of course.”

“Then proceed straight to the practice field and call for Brother Shi.”

“Thank you.”

Following the routine questioning, the gatekeeper let Link enter the martial arts school.

According to the gatekeeper’s instruction, Link quickly found the practice field.

Despite it being late in the afternoon, the practice field was bustling with activity.

Dozens of disciples of the martial arts school—teenagers, young adults, some shirtless, others neatly dressed, each practicing their moves or engaging in physical training.

As soon as Link arrived, many eyes were cast on him.

But he showed no fear and shouted loudly, “I’m looking for Brother Shi.”

Having said that, he stood firmly and calmly amidst the scrutinizing gazes, waiting quietly.

Before long, a ripped man with a bare torso emerged from the crowd, laughing loudly, “Great, it seems our Octagon Martial Arts School is about to have another junior disciple.”

At the Octagon Martial Arts School, anyone can join to study martial arts once he pays the fees.

However, the disciples in the school are divided into several classes, and they are treated quite differently.

Ordinary disciples in grey clothes have a business relationship with the school—pay money, learn self-defense.

Disciples admitted in blue clothes are considered students—pay both money and do work for the school, but they get to learn true martial arts.

Elite disciples in black receive the actual teachings of the masters. Even though they have to do work for the school, they don’t have to pay and even get benefits too.

The last category is the secret disciples.

Brother Shi is the eldest among the secret disciples, and also the elder disciple of the entire martial arts school.

What he was saying, that they were about to get another junior disciple, meant that in his eyes, Link had the potential to become a secret disciple.

As soon as he said this, there was a commotion on the practice field.

The many gazes on Link became even more complex.

There was envy, jealousy, and some unspoken emotions.

Link quickly noticed these changes and couldn’t help but wonder why the previously unknown Brother Shi would make such judgment and announce it so publicly.

“Come, let me take you to our Master.”

Brother Shi didn’t give Link much time to ponder. With a wave of his hand, he led him straight towards the inner court.

This action made the commotion on the training field even more heated.

It had been almost ten years since a new disciple could see the Master before even paying the admission fee. The last person to do so was Senior Sister Su Yan, who had made a big name for herself in the Jianghu of Langya Prefecture.

What kind of virtue and ability did this kid possess to receive such attention from Brother Shi?

He is only slightly better-looking and more composed, right?

There didn’t seem to be anything particularly special about him.

All this confusion was left without an explanation.
