Chapter 162: Chapter 161: Yan Dashan's Shock
Martial Arts Halls were prone to incidents, and in order to promote Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, he constantly made grand moves. Normaly he had plenty of meals with Director Qian and even gave him gifts.
"Mr. Zhang, I didn't blame you for today's incident. Do you know Lin Yun's background?" Director Qian replied, shaking his head.
"What background?" Zhang Zijun felt a sudden jolt in his heart, quickly asking for details.
Could it be that Lin Yun had a significant background?
"Although I'm not certain about the specifics, this morning..." Director Qian proceeded to explain the events at Wangxian Tower.
"Even Secretary Zhu was not taken seriously by him. He routinely drank liquor costing tens of millions per bottle and could casually present a bank card with several billion on it. Do you think I could afford to offend him? It is very likely that arresting him may be easy, but releasing him would be difficult!" In the end, Director Qian looked deeply at Zhang Zijun and said in a grave tone.
Even Secretary Zhu was ignored by this man? Normally drinks wine that costs tens of millions per bottle? And he can easily come up with a bank card with several billion on it?" Shocked by this revelation, Zhang Zijun exclaimed aloud.
Since the other party disregarded the highest official of Immortal Origin County, it was certain that he wasn't afraid of being targeted by the authorities.
Thinking about it, he who normally drinks bottles of wine worth tens of millions and can easily present a bank card with several billion on it, how possible could he be scared of officials from a small place like Immortal Origin County?
Zhang Zijun himself possessed significant assets, and he was well aware that when wealth accumulates to a certain level, it becomes impervious to governmental influence to some degree.
Not to mention, given the massive wealth of the other party, who would dare to say there wasn't a significant force behind him?
However, this was just too exaggerated!
Such a young man, not only could casually display such terrifying wealth but the wine he drank was worth tens of millions per bottle...
All of his assets, were only amount to twenty to thirty million!
That meant, Lin Yun's expenditure on drinking two bottles of wine exceeded the total accumulation of his many years of hard work!
In light of this, his pride in his wealth seemed ludicrous. How very ironic!
No wonder, when he previously suggested that Lin Yun should join Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, Yun claimed Yinghao Martial Arts Hall wasn't even qualified to recruit him.
The enormity of Lin Yun's assets equated that the cost of one bottle of wine he casually drank was equivalent to the total funds Zhang Zijun had invested in Yinghao Martial Arts Hall over the past two years. They truly were not qualified to recruit him.
Thinking about the million-dollar annual salary he offered to Lin Yun, where he thought to be an astronomical figure and then assuming that Lin Yun's disregard was due to him being clueless, Zhang Zijun suddenly felt a bit humiliated.
A million-dollar annual salary, which was not even worth a few sips of Lin Yun's wine, and he was thinking of recruiting him with this salary?
That was really ridiculous.
Following this, Zhang Zijun was filled with panic.
Unexpectedly, he had offended such a big shot.
Recalling the words left by Lin Yun, he had to take them seriously.
Could it be that, as Lin Yun said, he would have to shut down Yinghao Martial Arts Hall within three days?
Zhang Zijun had spent two years managing Yinghao Martial Arts Hall and invested tens of millions. It was on the brink of getting on the right track. Closing it now would be a huge loss.
However, if he didn't heed Lin Yun's words, considering Lin Yun's terrifying wealth and his likely significant power, Zhang Zijun feared he might face even bigger losses.
"Director Qian, what do you think I should do…" Feeling helpless, Zhang Zijun quickly turned to Director Qian for advice.
Immediately afterward, he told the director about the incident.
"Close down Yinghao Martial Arts Hall within three days?" Director Qian was not surprised. He felt that whatever penalty Zhang Zijun faced for offending such a person was normal. He was just regretful for Zhang Zijun. If it weren't for the constant respect Zhang Zijun had shown him, he would not have agreed to meet at all.
In case he got involved, he would suffer a big loss.
"The thing started because of Master Yan. I think you can try dealing with it starting from there. Of course, you can handle things the way you see fit. Don't tell anyone that I gave you this advice. I didn't say anything…" After thinking for a while, Director Qian said.
Coming to the end, he quickly distanced himself from Zhang Zijun.
Although, Zhang Zijun was his benefactor, he didn't want to offend Lin Yun because of this incident. He had done more than enough by giving this advice.
...
While Zhang Zijun was speaking with Director Qian.
Inside Yinghao Martial Arts Hall.
"It's a real pity that Lin Yun didn't join Yinghao Martial Arts Hall; our chances of learning martial arts with him are slim now..."
A student sighed.
"Yes, it's such a shame..."
A student nodded, his tone equally disheartened.
"A shame about what? Didn't you notice the conversation between Lin Yun and the chief coach—Wang Jie? Both of them, as well as several excellent coaches from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall, have been trained by the same master from Mountain Martial Arts Hall, a certain Master Yan. Considering that he can train such strong students, not just one or two, he must be amazing at teaching...
"I've decided, I'll go sign up at Mountain Martial Arts Hall as soon as possible…"
A student rolled his eyes, saying with an air of superiority.
"Mountain Martial Arts Hall, where is that?"
A student queried, confused.
"Damn, Lin Yun, Wang Jie, and the other competent coaches were all trained at Mountain Martial Arts Hall. I have heard that Mountain Martial Arts Hall is quite good. I intended to study there initially, but I got pulled to Yinghao Martial Arts Hall by someone. Damn it, this means I was fooled. This is so infuriating…"
"I was also pulled here when I inquired about Mountain Martial Arts Hall. How annoying!"
"Mountain Martial Arts Hall, I know where it is!"
Just then, some students realized something and immediately expressed their displeasure.
"What are we waiting for? Let's hurry to Mountain Martial Arts Hall!"
"Yes, yes, yes, if it can train students with capabilities like Lin Yun, and Wang Jie, who is quite powerful compared to Lin Yun, then Master Yan must be truly formidable!"
Some of the students quickly said.
As they spoke, a number of students turned around and ran, all rushing to Mountain Martial Arts Hall to study martial arts.
The strength of Lin Yun made them envious.
They too wanted to possess the kind of power that Lin Yun had.
...
At the Mountain Martial Arts Hall, Lin Yun and Xing'er Lee had already returned.
Next to the bed, Xing'er Lee was excitedly telling Yan Dashan about what happened at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall just now.
"Wang Jie was no match for Lin Yun? Lin Yun even ruined Wang Jie's martial arts abilities? The owner of Yinghao Martial Arts Hall offered a million-year salary to recruit Lin Yun? Even the official director was scared away by Lin Yun..." Listening to Xing'er Lee recount the events, Yan Dashan was quite shocked.
Of course, Xing'er Lee also told the story of many people who were stunned by just how powerful Lin Yun was.
Lin Yun looked at his impassioned junior sister apprentice, and found it amusing.
However, he had a soft spot for his junior sister's character.
Though their master had not taught her for long, she didn't abandon him, even in his most dire straits. Instead, she took good care of him. This showed that her character was commendable.
"Hmm?"
At that moment, Xing'er Lee turned around and looked at the door in surprise.
"It seems like someone is at the martial arts hall..."
Xing'er Lee jumped up and rushed outside.
"It's her!"
"She's the one who was with Lin Yun just now!"
"It seems that Lin Yun and Wang Jie really did train at Mountain Martial Arts Hall!"
Seeing Xing'er Lee, some people immediately exclaimed in excitement.
These people were the same students who had been at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall just now.
"Miss, I want to learn martial arts at Mountain Martial Arts Hall, how do I sign up?"
"Miss, me too, me too, and we can negotiate the price!"
The crowd quickly chirped.
Just then, Lin Yun and Yan Dashan walked out.
The recuperation drugs that Lin Yun bought from the Cosmic Trading System were no ordinary remedies, and, furthermore, he bought them according to Yan Dashan's injuries, so their effect was even better.
After taking the tablets Lin Yun gave him, Yan Dashan's body recovered very quickly.
At that time, he was able to walk around easily.
Actually, he had wanted to inquire Lin Yun about the origin of the recuperation medicine and to thank him, but Xing'er Lee kept talking about so many other things, he didn't get the chance to ask.
At that moment, with so many people coming to Mountain Martial Arts Hall, the now healthy Yan Dashan insisted on going out to see.
"Who are these people..." Seeing so many people coming to learn martial arts, Yan Dashan was taken aback.
All that time, no student had come to Mountain Martial Arts Hall to learn martial arts. Now suddenly so many showed up, he could hardly accept this change.
"Master, these people are all students from Yinghao Martial Arts Hall. They must have come to learn martial arts at Mountain Martial Arts Hall after seeing what happened at Yinghao Martial Arts Hall just now." Lin Yun recognized where these people came from and said.
"That's Lin Yun! Lin Yun is out!"
"That's really Lin Yun!"
"The person next to him should be his master!"
At that moment, some students noticed Lin Yun and Yan Dashan who had come out, and they excitedly commented.
A few of the students ran up directly, looked at Lin Yun, and excitedly asked, "Lin... Brother Lin, can you teach us martial arts?"
Seeing someone ask, the rest of the people eagerly looked at Lin Yun.
"I don't teach martial arts. If you want to learn, you can study at Mountain Martial Arts Hall under my master." Lin Yun simply stated.
"Master Yan, can we learn martial arts under your guidance?"
Hearing that Lin Yun did not teach martial arts, those people were disappointed. They quickly switched their hopeful glances to Yan Dashan and asked.
Strong people didn't necessarily teach students. Master Yan successfully trained Lin Yun, Wang Jie, and those coaches with nice moves in martial arts; he might be even better at teaching martial arts. They assumed learning martial arts from Master Yan might yield better results.
"This..." Confronted with their hopeful inquiries, Yan Dashan hesitated.
He knew these people probably came because of Lin Yun's skills, which put him in a tough spot.
He knew clearly what was going on. Lin Yun was an exception. The martial arts routines he taught were known to be slow in yielding significant results.
Moreover, not everyone could break into the Martial Arts Realm.
To reach Lin Yun's achievement, requires extreme talent in martial arts, along with a lot of time.
Lin Yun's talent in martial arts was quite impressive.
But how long has Lin Yun been studying martial arts?
That was fifteen years!
People nowadays tended to be quite restless. How many of them could persist, and how many could wait that long?
Plus, not everyone possessed the same martial arts talent as Lin Yun.
