On his way home, Lin Yun touched his nose and suddenly found it quite amusing.
If he wasn't mistaken, it seemed that he had just been rejected by someone.
However, that was just fine. It saved him the need to explain himself.
He couldn't help reflecting, nowadays girls were so practical.
Like that girl they've just met, and ... Zhao Gang's ex-girlfriend.
Of course, not all the girls were like that. He wasn't generalizing.
But in such a restless society, those kind of girls seemed to be decreasing in number.
Lin Yun glanced at the time, it was nearly one o'clock.
He decided to go see his master before heading home.
...
Mountain Martial Arts Hall.
A very common name, named after his master, Yan Dashan.
Gazing at the somewhat dilapidated sign, Lin Yun's emotions were complex.
He had started his martial arts training in this hall as a child.
It was here where he stepped into the Martial Arts Realm.
This hall was filled with his sweat of many years.
And his master's patient teachings. Even though he started with tuition fees, his master had gone above and beyond in his teachings that had exceeded that which could be counted in fees.
Without his master's careful guidance, it would have been difficult for him to step into the Martial Arts Realm. At the very least, he wouldn't have been able to break through to the Mid Mingjin Stage at the age of eighteen.
Just before he left, his master reminded him to continue training and not to give up.
Many memories flashed through his mind.
The martial arts hall now was not much different than when he left, only a bit more worn and less populated.
"Are you here to learn martial arts?"
As Lin Yun walked into the training room, a little girl was mopping the floor. Seeing him come in, she quickly put down her mop and hastened forward, looking quite thrilled.
"My master is in the back. I'll take you to see him!" After regaining her senses, the little girl's eyes beamed. She quickly nodded and assured him.
Frankly speaking, she was relieved at that moment.
Because these days, their martial arts hall had lost many students to Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. The feeling of helplessness and frustration was overwhelming.
When she heard Lin Yun state that he wasn't here to learn martial arts, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Moreover, it was a matter of pride that an old student returned to see his master after so many years. If their martial arts hall wasn't good enough, would the old students come back to see their masters after so many years?
With that thought, the little girl snorted at the young man from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
These people from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall were really despicable.
If her master wasn't sick, he would definitely have driven these people away.
"Hmm!" Seeing that Lin Yun was not there to learn martial arts, and was in fact an old student of the hall, the young man from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall snorted coldly and turned to leave.
However, he didn't go far and stood at some distance outside.
Lin Yun glanced at the whole scene and his eyebrows fell into a crease.
Despite his bafflement about why his master tolerated these people trying to poach students here, what Yinghao Martial Arts Hall was doing really was unfair.
In the bedroom at the back of the martial arts hall.
Lin Yun saw his master lying on the bed, looking jaundiced and alarmingly gaunt. He was stunned.
Seeing someone come in, his master stirred to sit up.
"Master, I'm back!" Lin Yun quickly helped his master to sit up, with some excitement in his voice.
His master had taught him with severity and kindness, always serious and his figure straight as a mountain. These memories reappeared in his mind. Seeing his master's present state, Lin Yun couldn't help his eyes from getting slightly moist.
After five years, his master had changed a lot and aged significantly.
Carefully working out the numbers, his master was around forty when he first began his apprenticeship, so he should be around fifty-five now, right?
"Lin Yun, you're back?" Seeing the person in front of him shouting with such excitement, Yan Dashan initially blinked with confusion, then stared in disbelief at the person in front of him and said.
Lin Yun, the best and most gifted student he's ever taught.
Five years ago, Lin Yun left Immortal Origin County and never came back.
He didn't expect Lin Yun to suddenly return.
