A passing traveler through the heavens

Chapter 201: Formal Instruction of Martial Arts

Fan Xian arrived at a general store not far from the Fan residence. He gently pushed open the creaking wooden door and eagerly searched for the figure inside.

Finally, he spotted the familiar figure in the corner—Wu Zhu.

Wu Zhu stood there silently, motionless like a statue. Fan Xian stepped forward and said anxiously, "Uncle Wu Zhu, someone wants to kill me!"

The two returned to the Fan residence together. Fan Xian led Wu Zhu into a room, and as soon as they entered, Wu Zhu noticed the man in black lying on the ground.

After examining him carefully, he turned to Fan Xian and said, "This man is named Fei Jie. He comes from the Surveillance Bureau of the Southern Qing capital and serves as the head of the Third Division."

"He's not here to kill you."

After a while, Fei Jie slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar environment, surrounded by all kinds of miscellaneous goods.

Upon seeing the scene before him, Fei Jie was startled to find Fan Xian and Wu Zhu standing right in front of him.

When Fei Jie saw Wu Zhu, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but then a sharp pain in his head made him frown and look like he was in unbearable pain.

After resting for a while, Fei Jie, enduring the pain, said, "Fifth Master, you are still as charming as ever since we parted in Kyoto."

"I have come here on behalf of Fan Xian's father. Lord Fan Jian has found Dean Chen Pingping and specially invited me to be your teacher."

After saying this, Fei Jie looked at Wu Zhu, waiting for his response. However, Wu Zhu remained silent throughout. Seeing this, Fei Jie assumed that Wu Zhu had already tacitly agreed to the matter.

After Fan Xian and Fei Jie left the room, Wu Zhu quickly disappeared from the spot.

Before long, he appeared where Ji Lin and the others were. When everyone saw Wu Zhu arrive, they all crowded around him. Wu Zhu, expressionless, explained Fei Jie's purpose to everyone.

Ye Qingmei, who had been listening quietly, did not object after hearing the story.

After all, she knew Fei Jie quite well, but the thought of her son being about to receive strict education filled Ye Qingmei with a pang of tenderness.

Ji Lin solemnly instructed Wu Zhu: "In the days to come, except for the time when Fei Jie is teaching Fan Xian, you will be Fan Xian's martial arts teacher."

"Then I brought Fan Xian here so that I could personally teach him." Wu Zhu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Before they knew it, it was the next morning. Fan Xian and Fei Jie paid their respects to Old Madam Fan at the Fan residence. After exchanging greetings and explaining their purpose, Fei Jie felt a little sleepy, so he went back to his room to rest and told Fan Xian to come to class after he woke up.

Taking advantage of Fei Jie's break, Fan Xian arrived at Ji Lin's location as agreed.

In fact, since Fan Xian turned one year old, Ji Lin has never taught him any specific martial arts moves. Instead, he has been dedicated to training Fan Xian's physique and building his foundation, aiming to make his physical qualities more solid and lay a solid foundation for learning advanced martial arts in the future.

However, with Fei Jie's appearance, Ji Lin knew that the time was ripe to formally begin teaching Fan Xian the true secrets of martial arts.

After careful consideration, Ji Lin decided to first teach Fan Xian the two unique skills, Lingbo Weibu and Beiming Divine Skill.

Perhaps because Fan Xian actually possessed the soul of an adult, he successfully entered the threshold of these two martial arts in just about an hour!

Seeing this, Ji Lin was secretly delighted, but on the surface he remained calm. Then, he instructed Fan Xian to practice alone with Wu Zhu to consolidate his skills.

Practicing with a partner is undoubtedly the most effective way to quickly become familiar with a skill.

Just as Fan Xian was engrossed in his intense sparring with Wu Zhu, Ji Lin quietly appeared in front of an empty house next to the training ground.

The room was filled with many tall bookshelves, but surprisingly, they were all empty, with not a single book in sight.

Ji Lin calmly waved his large, powerful hands, and in an instant, the previously empty bookshelf was filled with a dazzling array of books.

These books are diverse and varied, and are arranged in an orderly manner on the bookshelves according to different categories such as miscellaneous books, third-rate martial arts, second-rate martial arts, first-rate martial arts, and top-level martial arts.

In an instant, the entire room was filled with the rich aroma of books. All the books and martial arts manuals here were carefully collected by Ji Lin in the world of Tianlong.

After everything was in order, Ji Lin strolled towards the training ground.

At this moment, on the training ground, Fan Xian was at a disadvantage, forced to retreat step by step by Wu Zhu's fierce attacks, and could only passively take the beating.

However, Ji Lin did not take this situation seriously, because he knew that such high-intensity confrontation could greatly improve Fan Xian's reaction speed and adaptability.

Ji Lin raised his hand and pointed to the room filled with books, saying earnestly to Fan Xian, "If you want to read any book or study any martial arts, you can go to that room to find it."

"If you encounter anything you don't understand, feel free to come and ask me for guidance." After saying this, Ji Lin's figure flashed and disappeared from the land of Danzhou in the blink of an eye.

Shen Wansan diligently followed Ji Lin's orders and spared no effort in building a magnificent building called "Zhutian Restaurant". Time flies, and four years have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this long period of time, thanks to Shen Wansan's outstanding business acumen and unremitting efforts, Zhutian Restaurant sprang up rapidly like bamboo shoots after a spring rain and spread to every corner of the Joy of Life world at an astonishing speed.

Today, Zhutian Restaurant has become a prominent landmark in various places.

When Ji Lin left Danzhou and arrived at Dongyi City, the moment he stepped through the city gate, the eye-catching signboard of the Zhutian Restaurant, hanging high above his head, immediately came into view.

Under Shen Wansan's meticulous planning, this restaurant not only occupied the most prosperous and bustling area in the city, but also became the focus of attention with its unique style and luxurious decoration.

Ji Lin walked slowly towards the Zhutian Restaurant with steady steps. Before he could even step through the door, a clever and obedient child greeted him with a smile.

However, the moment Ji Lin seemingly casually pulled the mysterious token from his pocket, the smile on the child's face suddenly froze.

His body trembled slightly, and he dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly led Ji Lin toward the top floor of the Zhutian Restaurant.

This token was specially sent back by Qinglong when Shen Wansan first established the Zhutian Restaurant. There are two tokens in total. One was kept by Shen Wansan himself, while the other was kept by Ji Lin.

As agreed, seeing the token is as if seeing the person in person, because this token is a symbol of the supreme owner of the Heavenly Restaurant.

More importantly, all the staff working inside this huge restaurant came from the fearsome Jinyiwei organization; they were highly trained and extremely loyal.
