MTL - In the Great World of Martial Arts, You Use the Tao of Talisman To Rule the Ages?-Chapter 74 Promotion to senior qualifications (seeking further studies)

Chapter 74 Promotion to Senior Seniority (please follow up)

 It’s not past noon.

Chen Lin stepped into the mountain city again and walked through the deserted streets.

Like last time, the gangsters inserted a man at the street corner to show off. As soon as he came over, the gangsters would leave the mountain city to "eat".

 It’s about one person and two people not bothering each other.

So much so that some people joked that they would rent a house for Chen Lin in the surrounding area and ask him to be the door **** of Shanshi...

 Walking past a restaurant.

 Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of an unexpected tall figure.

Chen Lin turned his head and looked around, and it was Weng Jinren.

He was sitting on a long bench with a relaxed posture, holding a sea bowl in his hand, with the waves of wine rippling in his hand, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

After noticing someone looking at him, he smiled playfully, raised the wine bowl in his hand and took a sip, as if to say hello to Chen Lin.

 In the eyes of others, the sea bowl was about the same size as a basin, but it matched his body just right.

He poured wine into his mouth one after another, tapping his fingers on the table, and the tapping sound sounded like some kind of beat.

There happened to be a gust of cool wind blowing by, making the waterproof reeds on the shed outside the restaurant rustle.

"strangeness…"

Chen Lin frowned, withdrew his gaze and continued walking towards Uncle Xiang's shop.

But after taking only two steps, he found that Uncle Xiang was also walking towards him.

　　The words arrive first before the person arrives.

“As soon as I saw those ruffians running away, I knew it was you, Ah Lin, coming over.”

“Come with me, we have gathered some people today and plan to discuss it together, so I sent someone to call you.”

Uncle Xiang came over to lead the way. His face was quite solemn, and he didn't even have the intention to joke around. He went straight into a small alley in the mountain city.

 Soon we came to a small house, where people were already waiting.

Most of them are middle-aged people in their thirties or forties, with weathered faces and burly bodies. You can tell at a glance that they are mountain hunters.

 There are a few relatively wealthy ones, they should be the stores that receive goods in the mountain market.

 Chen Lin had interacted with several of them before and had a few words with them.

Seeing him come in at this time, these people greeted him one after another:

 “Brother Lin, come and sit quickly!”

“Let’s have a cup of tea first. There are still some people who haven’t arrived yet. Let’s get down to business after everyone is here.”

As soon as he finished speaking, someone from the room came over and poured him a bowl of tea.

 He thanked him profusely, held it up and took a sip.

 Without waiting for too long, several more people came over one after another.

 Chen Lin also gradually discovered that the people sitting on the field were all "old seniors" from Shanshi City.

Uncle Xiang who never cheats or cheats, Old Dingtou who contacted the Xicheng cargo ship, and the oldest Mr. Zhang...

Most of the middle-aged hunters had hunted tigers, and three of them had even hunted strange beasts like Fan Yoshi.

 The people present are either capable, prestige and senior in the mountain city.

These people are gathering together now, obviously to discuss something.

 And he, a young man, can actually get a place among them?

At this time, Chen Lin raised his head belatedly.

　　　　Am I now an old artist in their eyes? ’

　　It should be the reason why he was given a super promotion due to the previous incident of forcing him to quit the gangster.

 …

The room is equipped with tea and dried fruits.

Everyone gathered around the table, chatting about homely things while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Only Chen Lin noticed that Uncle Xiang, who was sitting next to him, always had a sullen face, neither eating nor participating in the chat.

 Continued to wait for half a cup of tea.

 Another acquaintance who I had just met a few days ago walked in.

It was Fan Yoshi, still wearing the gray cloth clothes from the Wuxing Boxing Gym.

As soon as he walked in, he took the initiative to greet everyone and then sat next to Chen Lin.

Looking at the entire audience, they were the only two young men.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, the oldest Mr. Zhang stood up with a wooden crutch. His beard and hair were all white, and his face was droopy with wrinkles. He was weighed down by a heavy weight, and his eyes were almost invisible.

　　Seems to be older than Master Xuan Fu in the world of immortality.

 The old man slowly spoke:

"Everyone, a new He's store opened in Shanshi yesterday. The shopkeeper He said that he can invite the martial arts master Rujin from the inner city to sit in charge of us, and he can also serve as a worshiper of Shanshi in the future."

“In this way, we no longer have to worry about the gangsters in the mountain city, and we no longer need to be afraid of the Flying Bear Boxing Gym behind us…”

 These words are mainly addressed to those shopkeepers in mountain markets.

 Chen Lin also noticed as he listened.

Although they were sitting in their seats, they, the scattered hunters, were obviously just here to listen.

 The matter is not directly related to them.

 Other hunters, including Fan Yoshi, were all wandering around in their thoughts at this time.

“…Inviting martial arts masters to come to the mountain market requires money, but shopkeeper He also promised that if any shop owners have difficulties in this regard, he can lend money to help, just write a note."

Mr. Zhang stroked his crutch and asked everyone for their opinions. Of course, the money needed for management is shared equally by everyone.

And Shopkeeper He's promise to give them a note in this regard is actually equivalent to agreeing to help them advance the money first, and then ask them to pay back the money when the results are effective in the future...

 Shopkeeper He is willing to do this, obviously he is very confident in recruiting the martial arts master.

Thinking of this, all the store owners who were originally hesitant agreed.

Only Uncle Xiang is always frowning:

“Master Zhang, I always feel that there is something fishy in this matter!”

"Axiang, I have inquired about it. Shopkeeper He used to do mountain cargo shipping business in Xicheng. His background is very innocent."

“Yes, Lao Xiang, this is a rare opportunity, otherwise those gangsters won’t know how long they will be bothered.”

 “A Sheng deserves to be damned if he steps on the horse, it’s all his fault!”

"That is, he and his son have not made any contribution to the mountain city, and they will give others the excuse after they die, and let these people use the excuse to harm us!"

Every word and every word spoken by everyone expressed the joy of being about to be liberated.

 But Uncle Xiang never replied.

On the other hand, Chen Lin was listening and suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago.

 He knocked on the table:

“That man used to do business in Xicheng, and what’s his surname?”

 “What’s wrong with Brother Lin?”

“I just remembered one thing. Master Shi and I had seen people from the Flying Bear Boxing Gym enter the gate of He’s house in Xicheng before.”

 Chen Lin said this.

Fan Yoshi beside him was stunned for a moment, and immediately connected the two things together: "That shopkeeper He is from the He family!"

“The He family used to lend money in Nancheng…”

Fan Yoshi immediately revealed the details of the He family.

With the sound of his words, the room that had been peaceful just now suddenly fell silent.

 A look of astonishment hung on everyone's face.

Even Uncle Xiang is no exception.

 “Hiss!”

“So, it may be the He family who is eyeing Shanshi, and the good guys and bad guys did it together?!”

“They were the ones who brought the gangsters who harassed Shanshi. Even Shopkeeper He, who said he was coming to help us now, is one of theirs?”

 “This…what are we going to do next?”

 Everyone looked at Chen Lin subconsciously.

Chen Lin blinked, suddenly picked up his chin, and suggested seriously:

“How about I come to your door and beat them all up?”

"Alin, don't make trouble," Uncle Xiang quickly held him down, "The He family is targeting Shanshi. You don't even live in the city. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get angry!"

 Uncle Xiang’s tone was stern.

 Others have the same attitude.

 That Mr. Zhang raised his hand and said:

“It’s good that Brother Lin can wake up these idiots like us in time. There is no need to push forward. This is our matter after all.”

 “You’re welcome, Mr. Zhang.” Chen Lin quickly returned the greeting.

 …

 The discussions continued until the afternoon, and the store owners could not come up with any countermeasures.

 It doesn’t matter how many people are gathered in the room.

But it only looks lively, and in terms of real power, it doesn’t even have a hair on its head.

 After all, they usually hunt and sell goods honestly, how can they stand up to those crooked people?

Chen Lin walked out of the small house, and Fan Yoshi beside him hurriedly walked towards the inner city.

Uncle Xiang also followed closely behind.

 “Alin, it’s all up to you today!”

“But you are young and energetic, remember not to act too impulsively in the future. This matter will not have to be solved by you. I will make it clear to other stores in the past few days, and we can all work together to boycott..."

After Uncle Xiang finished speaking, he left quickly to tell the news to others.

Chen Lin watched from behind as his figure disappeared.

 Suddenly turned around and returned all the way to the restaurant where he had just met Weng Jinren.

 “Brother Lin, do you want to come for a drink?” The waiter took the initiative to greet him.

 “Where’s that Weng Jinren from before?”

 “That big scourge is gone long ago!”

"Pity…"

 “Ah? What did Brother Lin say?”

 “Nothing, I’m leaving.”
