Chapter 253: Teaching swordsmanship when you have nothing to do
This matter is still in the confidentiality stage for the time being. Except for a few people, most of them, even their own family members, don’t know about it.
The Zhang family was worried that something might happen.
After all, these are troubled times. The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty was talented and ambitious. He had coveted the Jiuding Chamber of Commerce before. No one can guess what his attitude will be now.
Two days ago, the Zhao Mansion was annihilated and caused a major earthquake. All the noble families in the capital were in danger.
With this kind of undercurrent in the court situation, the Zhang family is worried that once Zhang Zhiquan has the possibility of recovery, some secret methods will be used.
Not everyone wants Zhang Zhiquan to live.
"Then why don't you tell me?" Lin Chen was speechless.
"I believe you!" Zhang Tianxue said with a smile, saying it was a matter of course.
Lin Chen would naturally not betray Zhang Tianxue's trust, but he was somewhat curious about Zhang Zhiquan's situation.
"What disease did your grandfather have?" Lin Chen asked.
Zhang Zhiquan was already ill before the great changes in the Zhao family, but the situation was still stable at that time, so the outside world did not pay much attention to it.
Unexpectedly, the condition continued to deteriorate and even reached the edge of death.
"I'm not sure either. My father only said that grandpa contracted this strange disease because he rashly opened an altar." Zhang Tianxue shook her head. She didn't understand very clearly.
Mainly because the elders kept silent about this matter, maybe there was something hidden in it that they couldn't reveal.
Lin Chen's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't have much of a clue.
But he wanted to see Zhang Zhiquan.
It wasn't that he was very curious about it, but since he was here, he had to take a look. After all, Lin Chen felt that Ning Yu would not treat Zhang Zhiquan so wholeheartedly.
In addition, Lin Chen also wanted to try to see if he could cure Zhang Zhiquan, so that he would not have to worry about killing Ning Yu.
Zhang Tianxue first took Lin Chen to meet Zhang Changlin.
Zhang Changlin was quite surprised to see Lin Chen, but he was very optimistic about Lin Chen that day and his intention to recruit him was obvious. Now that he saw Lin Chen coming over on his own initiative, he was naturally very enthusiastic and even planned to host a banquet for him.
Lin Chen naturally declined.
"My little friend came across this time, but encountered some trouble. If there is anyone from our Jiuding Chamber of Commerce that can help, just ask," Zhang Changlin said with a chuckle.
"Little friend, you were willing to give me the leaves of Long Yanhua before. It was a great favor to my Zhang family, and my Zhang family will always keep it in my heart!"
Zhang Changlin's attitude was very clear and he was not sloppy at all.
"I didn't encounter any trouble. I just happened to be in the capital, so I came over to take a look." Lin Chen smiled.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I, the Zhang family, should be allowed to act as landlords!" Zhang Changlin laughed.
If you have nothing to do and still come to Zhang's house as a guest, this is of course the best situation.
"I heard that Mr. Zhang's condition has improved a bit, should I go and see him?" Lin Chen asked.
Zhang Changlin was a little surprised.
The feeling of Bai Fei is a little different from when I saw it in Gu Loucheng before. It is no longer that sharp and hard to approach.
"Father, he must be a little tired today. Why don't we meet again tomorrow? Xue'er, you can take your little friend around the house first and arrange a place to stay," Zhang Changlin said with a smile.
Lin Chen did not insist and left with Zhang Tianxue.
In the current situation, Zhang Changlin's caution was expected, but Lin Chen didn't need his permission. He would go to investigate Zhang Zhiquan's situation in the evening.
After walking out of the courtyard where Zhang Changlin was, Zhang Tianxue said with some trepidation, "Do you want to go see my father?"
Zhang Changfeng is now the head of the Zhang family and has a high status in Wei Dynasty.
"No need, find a place for me to rest." Lin Chen shook his head.
He was not at all interested in meeting Zhang Changfeng
interest.
Zhang Tianxue pouted, always feeling that Lin Chen's behavior was unpredictable.
But it's okay not to see her, so that she won't be too shy first. After all, bringing her there like this always gives the illusion of meeting her parents.
Zhang Tianxue lives in his own pear flower courtyard.
There are many special pear trees planted in this yard, which bloom all year round and are very beautiful. Sometimes when a gust of wind blows, the pear blossoms dance, and it really feels like snow is falling.
Zhang Tianxue meant to let Lin Chen live in Lihua Courtyard.
certainly.
There is still a distance from Zhang Tianxue’s boudoir!
Lin Chen didn't have any objections. For him, it didn't matter where he lived.
In the courtyard and pavilion, Lin Chen and Zhang Tianxue were sitting opposite each other. Zhang Tianxue blinked his big eyes, unable to bear the curiosity in his heart and asked, "Bai Fei, have you gained anything since you arrived in the Wasteland of Hundred Wars?"
"The strength has improved a bit," Lin Chen said.
Zhang Tianxue pouted, who cares about this.
"I mean, aren't you looking for a dynasty princess or even a female disciple from the world's largest sect? Have you gained anything?" Zhang Tianxue said sourly.
"I guess so," Lin Chen said, answering truthfully.
Zhang Tianxue's heart suddenly tightened, and then he snorted unhappily, "Really? I can't tell you still have this ability, so tell me more specifically, how far has it developed?"
"The princess of the dynasty wants me to go back with her, and the female disciple of the world outside the sect hopes that I can join her sect," Lin Chen said.
"Beautiful!" Zhang Tianxue laughed immediately and felt much better.
If you say it so well, it sounds like bragging.
That's right, how could Lin Chen have such ability? It's her, the princess, and the female disciples of the worldly sect who look down on him!
Well, no, she doesn’t like it either!
Zhang Tianxue chuckled, and then said, "But you don't have to be discouraged. The princess of the dynasty, the female disciple of the world's largest sect, just like that, I will soon be better than them all." Stronger!"
Zhang Tianxue originally wanted to show off proudly, but after saying that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed like he was promoting himself!
No, that's not the case!
Zhang Tianxue was about to explain, but Lin Chen said, "Your strength has indeed improved a lot, but the gap between you and them is still huge. It will be difficult to catch up."
Lin Chen just told the truth.
Until now, what Lin Chen said is really true.
Zhang Tianxue almost spit out blood.
She stood up angrily and said, "I am not the same as before. I am very strong in swordsmanship. I have practiced Jiuding Jue to a whole new level. If you don't believe me, try it!"
This guy is so annoying, I thought he hadn't changed his gender in a while, but he's still as hateful as ever!
Moreover, he still dislikes her!
Zhang Tianxue felt aggrieved. She had indeed worked hard and had never been lazy during this period, but Lin Chen didn't like her at all.
This made her very angry and frustrated.
"Okay, let's try it," Lin Chen smiled.
He could see Zhang Tianxue's efforts, but it was far from enough. People who were more talented than Zhang Tianxue had to work harder. How could Zhang Tianxue catch up?
Anyway, there is nothing to do now, so Lin Chen doesn't mind giving Zhang Tianxue some guidance.
Zhang Tianxue was angrily walking to an open space in the pear forest. He shook his long sword in his hand and took up his posture, which was still decent.
Lin Chen casually broke off a piece of pear blossom branch and used it as a sword.
"If you look down on others, you will regret it later!" Zhang Tianxue said angrily, stabbing Lin Chen with a sword.
Lin Chen's steps were graceful, and the pear blossom branches lightly blocked Zhang Tianxue's sword. Then with a slight movement, Zhang Tianxue's sword force was separated.
"The way of exerting force is wrong, do it again." Lin Chen turned and closed the pear branch in his hand, asking Zhang Tianxue to fight back and tell him the key points.
