Chapter 36
Lonely Butt
This change in move was like an antelope shaking its horn. It was so wonderful that it shocked everyone present.
They were all certain that Lin Yan wanted to fight Mi Tai head-on. No one expected him to be able to use such an exquisite counterattack in such a narrow opening. He only used a short move to knock Mi Tai down.
Lin Yan was expressionless. As soon as he raised his hand, he sensed that Mi Tai’s fist strength was similar to his current strength. He was not inferior to Mi Tai even if he took it head-on.
However, only a fool would fight head-on against such an opponent who was blinded by anger.
He glanced at the few junior brothers he had just called out to.
The junior brothers were also shocked, but when they saw Lin Yan’s gaze sweep over, they avoided it.
Lin Yan sighed in his heart. Just defeating Mi Tai was indeed not enough to dispel their doubts.
Without an equal status, they did not dare to go against Mi Tai.
Of course, Lin Yan could also use his martial strength to suppress them, but there was no need for that anymore.
Lin Yan reached into his pocket and took out the instructor’s token that he had just obtained. He showed it to all the disciples of Wu Yard.
He said loudly, “From today onwards, I’ve been appointed as an assistant instructor in Wu Yard to assist Eldest Senior Brother in teaching the Five Animal Hands Technique! If any of you dare to slack off, neglect, or disobey orders, don’t blame me for being heartless!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Wu Yard fell silent as if the air had been sucked dry.
Everyone’s pupils dilated as they stared at the small token in Lin Yan’s hand, unable to close their mouths.
What?!
Assistant instructor!
Instructor!
When did Senior Brother Lin Yan become an assistant instructor?!
Instructors and disciples had completely different statuses.
According to the rules, disciples had to listen to the instructions of the instructors, even if they were only assistant instructors!
Offending a fellow disciple would at most cause trouble, but offending an instructor would definitely make things difficult for him every day. He didn’t even have to think about staying here!
On the other side, Yu Qian’s eyes widened in disbelief. She originally thought that she had caught up and completely left Lin Yan behind.
After all this time, Lin Yan had suddenly become an instructor for no reason?
Senior Brother Wang, who was beside her, exclaimed, “Impossible!”
Compared to the disciples of Wu Yard, they knew the importance of assistant instructors better.
This was because Wei Yard had an assistant instructor who was a senior brother of the Dragon Gate Pavilion. He was talented and was the most powerful genius in the entire Dragon Gate Pavilion. He was even better than Mi Tai!
Usually, in Wei Yard, this senior brother would guide the disciples to practice martial arts. No one dared to disobey his orders.
Now, Lin Yan had actually become an assistant instructor?
Even if it was Wu Yard, it would be a remarkable thing!
Lin Yan’s gaze swept across the junior brothers who had been called just now. They immediately shuddered as if they had lost their parents and were filled with regret.
F*ck! Their blood was boiling just now, and they almost stood on Senior Brother Lin’s side!
Now, they had forced Senior Brother Lin to take out the identity order of an assistant instructor. Would Senior Brother Lin make things difficult for them next?
However, Lin Yan didn’t make things difficult for them. “The few of you, build a simple stretcher and carry Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang to the pharmacy. Remember, do it right now!”
“Yes, sir!”
The few of them immediately moved. They carefully set up the stretcher and moved Lou Xing and Xu Hongchang to the medicine room.
“Let’s disperse and do what we need to do. Yuan Jing, let’s quickly move my things to the Instruction Yard before going to see Lou Xing and the others.”
With that, Lin Yan didn’t even look at Mi Tai, who was lying on the ground with a swollen face. He walked straight to Xiaozhi and prepared to leave with Yuan Jing.
“Junior Brother Lin, wait a moment!”
A voice sounded. Lin Yan stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and said coldly, “Senior Brother, do you want to avenge Mi Tai?”
The person who called him to stop was Senior Brother Wang, who was accompanying Yu Qian and Mi Tai. Lin Yan had been secretly paying attention to them just now.
Senior Brother Wang laughed heartily. “Junior Brother Lin, you’ve misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Mi Tai. I’ve been dissuading Mi Tai from coming looking for trouble. Junior Sister Yu, don’t you think so?”
Yu Qian, who was at the side, cursed in her heart. He was lying through his teeth!
She was still brooding over the fact that Senior Brother Wang had deliberately let Mi Tai go crazy. She forced a smile and said, “Of course.”
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Wang Qingtong’s eyes. “Junior Brother Lin, you must be extraordinary to be able to jump from a disciple of Wu Yard to an assistant instructor. By the way, I haven’t introduced myself. I’m Wang Qingtong. I’ve embarrassed myself in front of you.”
Wang Qingtong?
Lin Yan’s eyes flashed. “Who is Wang Qinggang to you?”
Wang Qingtong was slightly stunned. “That’s my younger brother. Do you know him?”
Wang Qingtong and Wang Qinggang. So they were brothers. The younger brother was in Dragon Yard, and the older brother was in Wei Yard.
“I don’t know him. I just met Senior Brother Wang once.”
Wang Qingtong looked up and smiled, “My brother’s talent far surpasses mine and he’s a disciple of the Dragon Yard. However, since Junior Brother Lin is able to become an assistant instructor, your talent must be extraordinary. I’m sure you have a lot in common with him. When you’re free, can I invite Junior Brother Lin to my house as a guest?”
Lin Yan glanced at Wang Qingtong. He had seen how this person pulled Yu Qian just now. He was definitely a seemingly warm-hearted and yet actually ruthless and dangerous person.
He immediately said coldly, “There’s no need. I still have to move. Excuse me.”
With that, he pulled Xiaozhi along and left with Yuan Jing.
Wang Qingtong stood at the back, his eyes flickering as he stared at Lin Yan’s back. No one knew what he was thinking.
After a long while, he seemed to have come to a realization. He turned his head and said to Yu Qian fervently, “Junior Sister Yu, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was so lost in thought that I forgot you were here.”
Only then did Yu Qian retract her gaze from Lin Yan’s back. She was wondering what Lin Yan had done.
Yu Qian met Wang Qingtong’s burning gaze again. For some reason, she felt uneasy and said reluctantly, “It’s fine, Senior Brother Wang. I’m tired. I’ll go back to Wei Yard first.”
Wang Qingtong looked bitter and said sadly, “Junior Sister Yu, I was wrong. I was really wrong!”
“Senior Brother Wang?”
“Junior Sister Yu, I was too hot-headed just now. That’s why I pulled you and didn’t let you stop Junior Brother Mi. It’s really my fault. To me… You know that my heart is filled with you.
“So as soon as I saw that you cared about Mi Tai, I got angry! I know I shouldn’t be so deranged, but I really did it all for you! Alas, I know it doesn’t matter how much I try to explain, but I really didn’t do it on purpose. Will you forgive me?”
Wang Qingtong had a bitter expression on his face. His words were sincere.
However, Yu Qian subconsciously felt that Senior Brother Wang did not hold her back purely because he was jealous of his love rival.
The malice that flashed across his eyes at that time would make her shiver even if she thought about it now.
However, Senior Brother Wang’s repeated explanations and tireless attempts to make her happy gave Yu Qian the illusion that she had misunderstood Senior Brother Wang.
Was Senior Brother Wang already deeply in love with her?
She did not come to Dragon Gate Pavilion to practice martial arts.
Her father had spent a sky-high price of 200 taels to send her to Dragon Gate Pavilion just for one thing—to find a husband!
Her father understood her lazy personality and had never expected her to become an expert. However, with her beautiful appearance and smart personality, it was more than enough for her to find a good husband.
She had originally been interested in Mi Tai, this commoner genius.
Until she met this Senior Brother Wang. He came from a wealthy family in the inner city, had a prominent family background and an imposing appearance, and was mature and steady when dealing with people. He also knew the thoughts of a girl. He was much better than Mi Tai, who was a silly hothead.
However, she could not tell if Senior Brother Wang was sincere or not, so she kept pushing and pulling between Mi Tai and Senior Brother Wang.
Could it be that I misunderstood Senior Brother Wang? Is he sincere?
“Junior Sister Yu, it’s getting late. I’ve let you down. In order to apologize to you, I’ll treat you to a meal!”
Although Yu Qian didn’t want to go, she still put on an appeased expression and pouted. “Then I’ll ask Sister Leping to go with me!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you!”
As Yu Qian walked, she secretly speculated. She felt that Wang Qingtong’s thoughts were more difficult to understand than a woman’s heart.
Sigh, staying with Senior Brother Wang was not much easier than staying with Mi Tai!
It would be great if Lin Yan was also from an influential family. At the very least, it would be much easier to be with him than with this shrewd and rash person…
Eh? Why did she think of Lin Yan?
Yu Qian was slightly taken aback, but she soon forgot about it.
However, she felt that she had forgotten something.
At this moment, in the martial arts arena of Wu Yard.
The sky had already completely darkened. A crescent moon rose into the sky.
Mi Tai was covered in wounds. His butt was white under the moonlight. He was lying on the ground alone, sprawled out and motionless.
