Chapter 317: So He’s a Cultivator! (7)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Guodong only had one goal: He only had one son. The Lin family was withering day by day in his generation, and there were no outstanding people in the collateral branches. When he passed away, who would support the Lin family?
And Master Su in front of him was definitely the best choice. There was no doubt about his strength. As he interacted with him, with his ability to judge people, he could tell that this young master’s character was not bad and was trustworthy.
That was why Lin Guodong had invested so much!
Su Yun was indeed very interested in this. After hearing Lin Guodong’s words, he realized that if this prescription was real, its value would be immeasurable. It would definitely be priceless. But this was the first time they had met after all. Su Yun did not want to appear too presumptuous.
It was obvious that Lin Guodong knew Su Yun’s concerns. Before he could speak, he continued,
“Master Su, you’re also a martial arts practitioner, and your strength is far above mine. I admire experts, and I have never rigidly treated age as a shackle. With Master Su around, China’s martial arts could be seen in the future! As long as Master Su doesn’t mind, I will definitely tell you about the Lin family’s ancestral prescription and help your strength rise to another level!”
To Lin Guodong, this was an investment. Moreover, from the looks of it, it was a sure win. If Master Su’s strength improved with his help, it would be very meaningful to the Lin family.
Su Yun did not expect Lin Guodong to be so enthusiastic. However, he was not considered a martial arts practitioner. The ability to throw needles and cards should belong to the cultivation side of metaphysics and had nothing to do with martial arts.
He could guess Lin Guodong’s thoughts and was willing to accept this karma.
Regardless of whether he was a martial arts practitioner or not, his strength was definitely real. After obtaining benefits this time, he would inevitably have to repay them in the future. However, this prescription was indeed extremely attractive. Therefore, after a short thought, Su Yun looked at Lin Guodong and said,
“Mr. Lin, since it’s an ancestral prescription of the Lin family, its value is self-evident. As the saying goes, one should not accept a reward without doing something. If Mr. Lin really plans to give this prescription, I’m willing to exchange it with something else.”
Su Yun’s words naturally expressed his attitude. He wanted this prescription, but it was naturally best if he did not owe anyone a favor. After all, he was also worried that if something happened to the Lin family, he would not be able to repay it.
However, he also knew that it was probably very difficult to exchange such a precious prescription for items of equivalent value.
How could the smart Lin Guodong not know this? Therefore, there was no change in his expression. He still had that gentle smile. After a short silence, he nodded gently. “Master Su, I admire experts and want to be friends with an expert like you. Since you and I are friends, there’s no need to talk about the transaction. After the seminar ends, I’ll immediately send you a copy of this prescription. If Master Su feels that you shouldn’t receive a reward for nothing,
I really have a small request here.”
If there was a request, it would be easy.
Su Yun was afraid of such a good thing. Often, such a good thing meant that he owed a huge favor. When the time came, all kinds of trouble might appear.
However, it would naturally be best if he could immediately exchange for the request. As for whether he should accept this request and whether it was worth changing the prescription, he would make plans later.
Therefore, Su Yun quickly nodded. “Go ahead.”
Lin Guodong did not stand on ceremony and said straightforwardly, “I hope Master Su can give my son some pointers. Although the two of you are similar in age, your attainments are far above mine. Lin Xiao has already grown up. As his father, I can’t be by his side all the time. If he can have a friend like Master
Su, I can be at ease when he’s outside.”
Su Yun thought for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses. Although it was a small request, it was actually to find a backer for the Lin family. This request was not small. If Lin Xiao had anything in the future, how could he not help?
After thinking about it, Su Yun finally nodded and said, “No problem. I don’t hate Lin Xiao to begin with, so I’m naturally willing to be friends with him.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Guodong immediately called Lin Xiao over. Lin Xiao, who had been sitting behind and watching the two of them leave, came to Lin Guodong’s side in confusion. “Dad, what’s wrong?”
“Hurry up and call him Uncle Sul”
Lin Guodong’s words stunned Lin Xiao and surprised Su Yun even more. How was this friendship? He had clearly found a junior.
Without waiting for Lin Xiao to say anything, Lin Guodong immediately glared. It was obvious that he was afraid that Su Yun would go back on his word. “Cut the crap. From now on, Master Su is your uncle. When you meet in the future, you can’t overstep your boundaries!”
Lin Guodong urged Lin Xiao, his tone very urgent. Previously, Su Yun’s move had already convinced Lin Xiao. However, this matter had happened so suddenly that he could not react for a moment.
When he thought about it, he was naturally more than happy to get closer to Su Yun. Although he was a generation younger, this was nothing. As long as he could obtain the recognition of such an expert, he could even be a grandson!
Didn’t he see that his father was on the same level as the other party? If the outside world knew about this, no one would dare to laugh at him. Instead, they would be envious!
Lin Xiao was flexible. Soon, under Lin Guodong’s gaze, he cupped his fists and bowed to Su Yun..
