Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting from Fist Technique Deduction
Chapter 237 - 11 Situation

Chapter 237: Chapter 11 Situation

The council hall was empty.

As the newest leader of Black Dragon Pool, it seemed his appointment was of little concern to anyone.

But then, a countryside boy who had just stepped into the Qiaomai state, if hailed as a genius, would be given some face for his future potential.

But who is Lin Yuan?

Never heard of him!

Black Dragon Pool is rich in resources, incomparable to the small Sun Hua. It is said even the most peripheral towns of Black Dragon Pool are several times more prosperous than Sun Hua.

With such a foundation, Lin Yuan merely had luck, having apprenticed under the Long-Browed Taoist. And coincidentally, his senior disciple Lu Rong transferred to the Fire Crow Sect, leaving the lucrative position to him.

With such luck, how could many martial artists in Black Dragon Pool be convinced? They are snakes of the area, having been around for years. When Lu Rong was there, with his great reputation, they obediently followed him.

But can a newcomer fresh out of training ride on their heads? Is he qualified?

Lin Yuan slightly lowered his eyes and turned to Qiao Yuanjing who followed behind him, calmly saying, "Steward Qiao, who ought to attend the meeting today? Read me the list of names."

Qiao Yuanjing paused at his words, eyes showing a trace of surprise, responding, "There are eleven towns and three gangs surrounding Black Dragon Pool."

After Lin Yuan casually found a chair to sit in, he gestured for Qiao Yuanjing to sit beside him, "Sit and talk, Steward Qiao. It’s still early, just enough time to have tea with me. I’ve heard the famous tea of Black Dragon Pool, Linglong Snow, is unmatched."

Seeing Lin Yuan’s composed demeanor, Qiao Yuanjing’s astonishment grew deeper.

According to intelligence from the martial academy, Lin Yuan had just stepped into the Qiaomai realm, merely coalescing three Qiaos. But his demeanor evidently did not match his martial prowess. Could it be the Long-Browed Taoist had additional support?

A slight chill arose in his heart, and Qiao Yuanjing became much more respectful.

He didn’t know if the local guards or academy masters had backing, he only knew his own position, he needed to be loyal to the position at Black Dragon Pool’s office.

Regardless, not underestimating anyone was his principle of doing things.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yuanjing similarly sat beside Lin Yuan, signaling the surrounding servants to serve tea, then slowly said, "These local guards and gang leaders didn’t come today, possibly because..."

"Possibly because I am too insignificant, having just stepped into the Qiaomai realm, not catching their eye?" Lin Yuan chuckled softly.

Qiao Yuanjing took a deep breath, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

He had no choice but to remain silent.

Lin Yuan raised his teacup, blew away the floating tea leaves on the water, and took a sip.

For the moment, silence enveloped the council hall.

But the prolonged silence made Qiao Yuanjing very uncomfortable. The expected rage or despair appeared not a bit on Lin Yuan.

"Why does Lin Yuan, with his level of cultivation, seem to bear some resemblance to Lu Rong? Is he deliberately imitating or does he really rely on something?"

For a moment, Qiao Yuanjing felt extremely uneasy.

As tea was served again, the sweet entrance of tea only seemed bitter to Qiao Yuanjing.

Finally, after finishing his cup, Lin Yuan stood up and stepped outside without another word. He casually left, heading straight to his residence.

As if nothing happened, just like that, simply and blandly.

Qiao Yuanjing stared at Lin Yuan’s departing figure, furrowed his brow, and fell into deep contemplation.

Later that night.

At Qiao Yuanjing Mansion, two visitors arrived. They were the local guard from Qianfeng Town and the Palace Master from White Cloud Town’s White Cloud Academy.

One was fat and the other thin, but both had smiles on their faces.

Upon entering the hall, they saw Qiao Yuanjing sitting at a small round table with a furrowed brow.

The plump guard from Qianfeng Town, Zou Xiuyang, laughed and said, "Steward Qiao, how was Lin Yuan today?"

Coming as representatives, they intended to probe the situation.

To see what Lin Yuan’s attitude was really like?

"By the looks of it, Lin Yuan seems difficult to handle, or did Long-Browed Taoist hide some trick?" The thin Lu Yifeng leaned closer, sitting beside Qiao Yuanjing, also laughing.

But Qiao Yuanjing glanced at the two, merely shook his head slightly.

"Steward Qiao, you don’t need to worry so much." Zou Xiuyang sat on Qiao Yuanjing’s other side, dismissively said, "Lin Yuan is just Long-Browed Taoist’s disciple. Now that Lu Rong is gone, what does Long-Browed Taoist have to suppress the Zheguang faction?"

"Exactly." Lu Yifeng agreed, nodding, "Previously, Lu Rong suppressed many disciples, making Zheguang and Shuo Feng factions submit willingly, any grievances remaining internal. Now that Lu Rong is gone..."

The academy’s situation has changed dramatically.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yuanjing looked up at the pair, sighing, "I understand what you’re saying."

"Lin Yuan, just a villager, still wants to secure Black Dragon Pool." Zou Xiuyang chuckled, "Regarding Long-Browed Taoist, rest assured. We came here today to put your mind at ease."

"We just received news, He Run personally went to White Cloud Town, meeting the guards of four major towns." Lu Yifeng smiled faintly.

"He Run? You’re saying He Run, the disciple ranked among the top hundred in the academy?" Qiao Yuanjing’s eyes widened, looking surprised.

He Run, being among the top hundred disciples, held a high status. Unexpectedly, his actions were swift, Lin Yuan had barely stepped in, and He Run had already set things up to divide Black Dragon Pool.

"Indeed, it’s the ninety-fifth ranked Shadow Hand, He Run. It’s said his martial prowess has already coalesced almost forty Qiaos. Truly gifted, a talent among youths."

A wave surged in Qiao Yuanjing’s heart, unable to calm for a long time: "You mean, He Run is stationed here?"

The two chuckled.

"Lin Yuan is hardly worth He Run’s time, but he still arranged another martial academy prodigy to be stationed at Black Dragon Pool."

"If Lin Yuan understands tact and remains behind closed doors at Black Dragon Pool’s office, some face may be left for him. Should he act recklessly, don’t blame the bond between comrades." Lu Yifeng shook his head gently, chuckling.

"The academy’s situation is now crystal clear. Zheguang faction, Vice-President Ning has already stepped into Initial Ling Yuan. Yun Yin faction has become a thing of the past." Lu Yifeng couldn’t resist sighing.

The situation changed so rapidly, they nearly couldn’t respond.

Just days ago, the thriving Yun Yin faction collapsed in an instant, evoking infinite feelings.

At this moment, Qiao Yuanjing spoke, "It’s not that I’m not anxious about this matter, but because I can’t understand Lin Yuan."

Lu Yifeng and Zou Xiuyang wondered, "What peculiarities does he have?"

Qiao Yuanjing wryly said, recounting the events with Lin Yuan at the council hall today.

After he finished speaking, Lu Yifeng sneered, "Playing tricks, it must have been Long-Browed Taoist’s idea."

"Indeed. Lin Yuan possesses some cleverness, but that’s all. No matter how he jumps around, can he surpass He Run?" Zou Xiuyang sneered too, his eyes sharp, seemingly seeing through all of Lin Yuan.

After sending the two away, Qiao Yuanjing stood in the living room, watching the flickering candlelight.

Thinking about Lin Yuan’s composure today, he couldn’t help sighing, "Perhaps."

The next day, Qiao Yuanjing entered the office state building and was once again invited by Lin Yuan to the pavilion.

Similarly, servants were arranged to make tea for them.

Lin Yuan simply drank tea quietly without speaking. Sitting longer, Qiao Yuanjing felt the pressure mounting gradually.

Until the third day, Lin Yuan did the same, inviting Qiao Yuanjing to drink tea.

He was waiting, waiting for Qiao Yuanjing to speak first.

Once Qiao Yuanjing provided clear insight, sharp action would untangle the mess swiftly, resolving the troubles.

If he had to run for everything personally, wouldn’t that wear him out?

But his patience was limited, if Qiao Yuanjing continued to be two-faced, he wouldn’t mind killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan’s eyes turned deep, looking softly at Qiao Yuanjing.

If hesitating further, don’t blame Lin for using your head!
