Chapter 471 Seize Every Second
On the plane, Lin Xichen in the front row "mumbled" and told Lin Sangeng about what happened on the ship.
Then Lin Xichen looked up, held Lin Sangeng's hand, and said, "It was my immaturity before, always blaming you for Mom's death. Please forgive me."
Lin Sangeng heard this, quickly tilted his head up, afraid his nose would turn sour and tears would fall. He laughed and patted Lin Xichen's head, saying, "You silly child, what father would really blame his daughter? But I do need to sincerely thank Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen not only saved my daughter's life but also made her so sensible. I'm almost having trouble accepting it, hahahaha..."
The others on the plane also laughed along.
Chen Yang sat on the side, silent. He turned to look at the sea view outside, while Shi Qianmian, sitting on the other side, also remained silent.
Lin Xichen turned and glanced at Chen Yang, then at Shi Qianmian. He smiled and said, "Uncle, yesterday Chen Yang was saying that if anyone could find us on the ship, it would be you."
"I was worried Uncle would directly report us to the captain, hehe. I didn't expect Uncle wouldn't covet the nanmu box and not tell that bad captain our location!"
Shi Qianmian's expression suddenly changed upon hearing this. He then secretly felt fortunate. It seemed if he had secretly told Tardos Chen Yang's location yesterday, Chen Yang would have directly targeted him. He wondered if he could have survived Chen Yang's attack.
Shi Qianmian laughed and said, "Since I sold the box to you, how could I have the nerve to take it back?"
"However, I also want to remind Mr. Lin that as soon as you get ashore, start cultivating immediately. I don't think it will take long for the Zhang family to get the news."
"They will surely come to demand this treasure then, and Mr. Lin will probably be unable to refuse the Zhang family's demand!"
Lin Sangeng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. I understand."
The plane was very fast, and it arrived in Modu in half a day.
As soon as the plane landed, Shi Qianmian jumped off the helicopter.
He hesitated for a moment, then turned to cup his fists at Chen Yang and said, "Brother, I've thought about it repeatedly, and I still can't figure out your identity. Could you reveal it?"
Chen Yang laughed heartily and looked at Shi Qianmian, saying, "I've guessed your identity, but we met by chance, no need to know each other's background. Farewell!"
Shi Qianmian nodded, then quickly disappeared. He had to change his appearance to once again evade the Zhang family's pursuit.
Lin Sangeng became even more curious about Chen Yang's identity. After hearing his daughter's account of what happened on the ship, Lin Sangeng understood that this Chen Yang was no ordinary person. The reason he couldn't sense any internal energy fluctuations from Chen Yang was that Chen Yang's strength was far superior to his.
Even when facing Shi Qianmian, a Grandmaster, Lin Sangeng could still feel the internal energy fluctuations from Shi Qianmian, however faint. He knew Shi Qianmian was a Grandmaster and not to be trifled with. But when facing Chen Yang, Lin Sangeng couldn't sense any internal energy at all, which indicated Chen Yang's strength far surpassed his own.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Sangeng said to Chen Yang, "Mr. Chen, you saved my daughter's life and mended our father-daughter relationship. Please, Mr. Chen, stay at my martial arts school for a few more days so I can fulfill my duties as a host and entertain you."
Chen Yang shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I should return to Qingzhou City as well."
Lin Sangeng's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. He thought for a moment, then approached Chen Yang again, bowed slightly, and said, "Mr. Chen, I know you are busy, but if you leave like this, I will truly feel uneasy."
"You saved my daughter's life, which is more important than saving my own. I must repay you."
"However, I know your identity and you wouldn't care for my property, money, or weapons. But I believe our First Martial Arts School still has something that might interest you."
As he spoke, Lin Sangeng walked up to Chen Yang, lowered his voice, and said, "To be frank, eighteen years ago, the reason I was chased and my wife was implicated and killed was because I obtained a box of ancient beast skin scrolls from an ancient tomb. They contained cultivation methods, martial arts techniques, and some Taoist talismans."
"The reason I was able to improve my strength so quickly and avenge my wife was because of this box of books."
"The reason I founded the First Martial Arts School and attracted many wandering cultivators to follow me is also because I know many martial arts cultivation methods."
"The First Martial Arts School has achieved its current reputation not because of me alone, but also because of the many skilled disciples under me. They are not all taught by me. Many were already experts in the Great Heavenly Cycle before joining the school."
"So, Mr. Chen, I cannot give you these books, but you can stay and study them. This will be my way of repaying your kindness."
Chen Yang's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he said, "Thank you, Master Lin. What you said truly interests me."
Lin Sangeng laughed heartily and said, "Good. Then let's have a meal together, and afterward, I will take you to the secret chamber."
Chen Yang checked the time and said, "Let's skip the meal, Master Lin. To be honest, although your cultivation is decent, because you pursued speed too much in the past, you have many residual internal injuries."
"The Yin-Yang Jade Pendant hidden within the music box that Lin Xichen has is rich in spiritual energy and can help you quickly repair the injuries in your body."
"So let's hurry. Before the Zhang family gets the news and arrives, use the spiritual energy to mend your internal injuries and improve your strength, seize every single moment."
"After all, that Yin-Yang Jade Pendant is a rare treasure. Once the Zhang family takes it, you might never get another one in your lifetime."
Lin Sangeng was stunned by Chen Yang's words. He then bowed deeply again and said, "Thank you, thank you, Mr. Chen. Then let's return to the secret chamber immediately. Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Chen."
Lin Sangeng and Chen Yang drove directly to a villa behind the First Martial Arts School.
As for Lin Xichen, she returned to her villa by the Huangpu River to find Lin Yueyu.
Lin Xichen knew that Chen Yang and her father had important matters to attend to, so she didn't disturb them.
Chen Yang and Lin Sangeng entered the backyard of the villa behind it.
Lin Sangeng opened a sealed underground secret chamber built with over ten meters of concrete. The ancient scrolls he had chanced upon were hidden within this underground chamber.
Lin Sangeng pointed to the underground chamber and said, "These are the martial arts secret scrolls I obtained from a very ancient tomb of an unknown dynasty. Please feel free to browse them, Mr. Chen."
"Also, please help me open this golden nanmu box, haha. I really don't understand music, not like you, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Yang simply nodded, took the nanmu box, and whistled according to the musical changes. Soon, with a "clack," the music box rotated, and the dragon-blood nanmu box opened.
Lin Sangeng reached inside and took out the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant.
The moment he saw the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant, Lin Sangeng's expression completely changed.
His hands trembled with excitement. He looked at the Yin-Yang fish jade pendant, then at Chen Yang, and finally, Lin Sangeng suddenly knelt before Chen Yang with a "thud."
He said solemnly, "Mr. Chen, you are truly a man of integrity. I... I never imagined the Yin-Yang Jade Pendant in this box was... such a treasure. I... I, Lin Sangeng, don't know how to express my admiration for you, Mr. Chen. Thank you."
Chen Yang waved his hand, smiling speechlessly, "Master Lin, you are too kind. Go find a place to absorb the spiritual energy as soon as possible, and I will carefully examine these treasures of yours."
