Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 166 - 43: Su Lingchuan: You Just Take Action, I’ll Argue Your Case for You_2
The name Lin Chen, they had already heard it today. Being able to battle Lin Chen to such a stalemate, the opponent must also be a genius student.
The battle between two genius students was not something they could intervene in.
The figures of the two clashed continuously on the street, with each palm strike dispersing the dust around them.
After ten breaths, Lin Chen had already gauged the situation.
This Lian Cheng’s strength was indeed formidable, far beyond that of an ordinary martial artist, but still there was some gap compared to himself.
"Wind-Rolling Clouds!"
Lin Chen didn’t plan to drag it on any further, and just as he was about to use the killing move of Clear Wind Palm, a loud shout rang out.
"Stop it, all of you!"
A loud shout, Lin Chen felt his qi blood surging, his breathing became disordered, and when he looked at Lian Cheng in front of him, he had the same expression.
At the gate of the Military Affairs Department, the man who previously presided over the fight coldly scanned the two: "This is the Military Affairs Department, to dare brawl in front of its gate, you two really have some courage."
The man looked at the four soldiers standing like blocks of wood: "What are you still standing there for? Take these two inside."
Facing a Grade-Entering Powerhouse, Lin Chen naturally wouldn’t resist, he just looked towards Uncle Haibo and the others: "Uncle Haibo, you guys find an inn to stay in first, I’ll come find you later."
Wang Haibo and the others had a look of concern on their faces, but in the current situation, they really couldn’t help, so they could only nod.
As for the silver coins for the inn, Chen’s junior brother had already given them ten taels earlier.
The soldiers didn’t actually lay hands to escort them, as usual, any ordinary student daring to act in front of the Military Affairs Department would undoubtedly face severe punishment.
But genius students, especially two genius students, despite Lord Xu’s threatening words, the likely outcome would be a slight punishment.
Martial Path geniuses indeed had such privileges.
"All of you, reflect inside properly. It’s outrageous, guard them strictly, and no visits are allowed until I report to the Director and a decision is made."
Looking at the small dark room ahead, Lin Chen silently walked in. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
A small dark room devoid of light exerts great psychological pressure, but for Lin Chen, it was nothing. With the nickname "All the Way Black," he was already accustomed to the darkness.
As for Lord of the Military Affairs Department over there, he believed Lord Su would argue on his behalf.
...
...
The main hall of the Military Affairs Department.
Qiu Rufeng wore a stern expression, and the directors of the martial affairs offices from various counties were present as well.
Su Lingchuan and another hook-nosed man stared angrily at each other, neither willing to back down.
As for the other directors, they sat on their respective chairs, their eyes drifting about, ready to stay silent and watch.
Lian Cheng, the number one of this generation of the Lian Family, the strongest student of this cohort from Yongfeng County.
There’s no need to speak of Lin Chen, having perfected the Clear Wind Palm in three months, treading the path of Extreme Martial Arts, and in such a short time, he also perfected the Iron Bone Skill.
The struggle of these two genius students was best left to Junior Brother Su and Senior Brother Qu to hash out.
"That’s very good, I didn’t expect there would be students fighting at the gate of the Military Affairs Department. Su Lingchuan, Qu Jingcheng, is this how you, as directors, educate your students?"
Qiu Rufeng laughed in anger, the sharpness in his aged eyes causing Su Lingchuan and Qu Jingcheng to shiver.
"Director, Lian Cheng acted for a reason. Lin Chen struck Lian Yu, a student from our Yongfeng County, at the gate of the Military Affairs Department, injuring him. Lian Cheng, being Lian Yu’s cousin, couldn’t bear it when he saw his cousin injured. If Lian Cheng saw a family member injured and was indifferent, lacking such fervor, he wouldn’t have been able to cultivate to this level."
Qu Jingcheng defended, and the other directors nodded in agreement; it was indeed reasonable.
If one’s kin were bullied and still had to adhere to rules, afraid to act, then what’s the point of practicing martial arts?
"Why did Lin Chen attack Lian Yu?"
Qiu Rufeng’s gaze fell on Su Lingchuan, but before Su Lingchuan could answer, the man who escorted Lin Chen and Lian Cheng responded: "Reporting, my investigation shows that earlier, villagers from Linhu Village came to the gate of the Military Affairs Department, wanting to inquire about the result of this county’s battle. Lian Yu encountered them and falsely claimed that Poyang County lost and Lin Chen was severely injured. Lin Chen later learned of this and awaited at the gate of the Military Affairs Department."
Su Lingchuan glanced curiously at the man, thinking: "Deputy Director Xu’s words are indeed speaking in Lin Chen’s defense."
"Director, Lord Xu, it’s true Lian Yu lied, but it was merely a joke. The result of the county battle would eventually reach Poyang County, this falsehood was insignificant. Lian Yu did apologize to Lin Chen afterwards. Even if Lin Chen was displeased, he shouldn’t have acted against Lian Yu. He could have reported it to the Military Affairs Department or told Lord Su. I believe Lord Su would have stood up for him."
Listening to Qu Jingcheng, Su Lingchuan wasn’t in a rush to refute. Lin Chen acted with his permission.
This scene before him had long been anticipated.
Lin Chen would act with force, and the verbal issues would be handled by him.
After Qu Jingcheng finished speaking, Su Lingchuan finally spoke: "Senior Brother Qu, I have a few questions for you."
"What questions?"
Qu Jingcheng became cautious when he saw Su Lingchuan didn’t refute him as expected.
"How old are the parents of Senior Brother Qu?"
Though unclear why Su Lingchuan would ask this, Qu Jingcheng still answered: "They are over sixty."
"If today a demon beast wreaks havoc in Yongfeng County and you, Senior Brother, slay the demon beast, saving the people of Yongfeng County from harm, and I come to report the good news, intentionally making a joke, telling your parents that Yongfeng Town encountered a demon beast, you fought the beast and unfortunately perished heroically, can Senior Brother accept this?"
