Rise from a Low-class Family to Martial Artist-Chapter 305 - 93: Gift to Junior Brothers of the Jiangnan Dao – By Lin Chen
For these reasons, when Qiu Rufeng recommended Lin Chen, he opposed it and even immediately reported Li Zhe.
He didn’t know much about Lin Chen’s deeds, nor was he interested in delving into it, just knowing Lin Chen came from a humble background, being a fisherman’s son.
A fisherman’s son winning one of the county competitions?
He scoffed at the news, presuming Qiu Rufeng must have used some tricks.
Though Qiu Rufeng had broken through to the Sixth Grade, meeting the conditions for promotion, his achievements were still lacking. Lin Chen was just a pawn he pushed forward, seemingly from a poor background, but secretly aided by resources from Qiu Rufeng.
The purpose was to have Lin Chen evaluated as a Jiangnan Dao martial arts student model, earning him, the Director of the Military Affairs Department, enough achievements.
But now Jiang Zheng realized he was wrong!
To be precise, he knew his judgment was wrong the moment Lin Chen was recognized on Martial Arts Mountain.
Lin Chen was not a pawn arranged by Qiu Rufeng.
Qiu Rufeng could not cultivate a young genius capable of ascending Martial Arts Mountain.
Yet even knowing his judgment was wrong, Jiang Zheng merely asked Li Zhe to abandon the competition for the Jiangnan Dao student model, without any sense of apology or guilt in his heart.
Until now, hearing Lin Chen’s written words, the simple language told him how difficult Lin Chen’s journey had been.
To Lin Chen, a martial arts student model title meant his future. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
For Li Zhe, winning the martial arts student model was an embellishment, but for Lin Chen, it determined his prospects and destiny.
If Lin Chen had not been recognized on Martial Arts Mountain and not been selected as a Jiangnan Dao student model, returning to Poyang County might allow him to not worry about the Refining Viscera Realm, but the path to entering the Grade would become difficult.
This is why, as Director of the Military Affairs Department, he apologized to Lin Chen.
Not out of fear that Lin Chen would grow up to harbor this hatred and seek revenge, even if he did grow to that extent, by then he would be but a speck of dust.
He was remorseful for nearly destroying the future of a hardworking and struggling young genius.
With Jiang Zheng standing up to apologize, the other three families also presented their students, the directors of the Military Affairs Department following suit.
Shao Jingshan watched this scene with a look of comfort.
As the Hall Chief of the Military Affairs Hall, he could decide the ownership of the martial arts student model with a single word, but he wouldn’t do so.
Because whether it was Jiang Zheng or the other directors of the Military Affairs Department, while recommending students to compete with Lin Chen contained some personal interest, it was more about considering the students under their jurisdiction.
The Hall Chief of the Military Affairs Hall practices the path of education.
To have people’s hearts and mouths convinced.
"Children of modest families are rare treasures in this world."
Shao Jingshan said slowly: "Yu Yongnian, the instructor at Poyang County Martial Hall, can be called a teacher."
After speaking, Shao Jingshan turned his gaze to Lin Chen: "Where is your instructor now?"
"Reporting to my lord, Instructor Yu has resigned as an instructor and started preparing for the Martial Arts Examination. As for his location, I don’t know, the instructor didn’t inform me."
On the side, Qiu Rufeng heard Shao Jingshan ask about Yu Yongnian’s whereabouts, and said with a smile: "Lord Shao, speaking of this Instructor Yu, after Lin Chen went to the Martial Hall, he resigned but didn’t cut off contact with Lin Chen, specifically writing two letters to advise and encourage him..."
Qiu Rufeng slowly recounted the story of how Yu Yongnian wrote two letters and one was given based on Lin Chen’s Martial Hall competition results, making the powerhouses at the scene constantly stroke their beards and smile.
Lin Chen was fortunate to have encountered such a good instructor in his life.
"Without Instructor Yu, I would struggle to fill my belly and might not have been able to refine Essence Qi by now. Without Instructor Yu’s financial gift, it would have been even harder to take first place in the Martial Hall June competition."
"In the deep night, when training at the Martial Hall, I often felt Instructor Yu standing behind me. Though Instructor Yu hasn’t entered the Grade, his earnest teachings pushed me forward more than any Grade-Entering Powerhouses’ pressure."
"Meeting Instructor Yu was truly a stroke of luck in my life."
Many powerhouses at the scene listened to Lin Chen’s words, knowing it was a genuine expression of the young man’s feelings.
"Besides Instructor Yu, after entering the Martial Hall, the Hall Master of Jingshui Martial Arts Hall, Vice Hall Master Kong, and Hall Master Tai of Mountain Suppressing Martial Arts Hall, Hall Master Zhao of Gale Martial Arts Hall, and Lord Su from the Martial Affairs Office all have been kind to me. Vice Hall Master Kong secured a top-tier treatment for me as a Martial Hall student, and Hall Master Tai took me to consult a senior..."
Lin Chen thanked all the instructors and hall masters he could over the past year in one breath, but did not mention Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall.
Family scandals should not be publicized; the matter with Clear Wind Martial Arts Hall has been handled by Lord Su, so it wasn’t necessary to mention it here.
"Ah, this little guy truly knows how to be grateful. Look at him, here in the main hall, praising all these instructors and hall masters."
With Shao Jingshan’s words, everyone else broke into smiles.
Gratitude is a wonderful quality.
As a member of the Military Affairs Hall, practicing the path of education, indeed, it’s hoped more students like Lin Chen will emerge.
"Lord Bo, you are now the Director of the Military Affairs Department of Raozhou Prefecture. You’ve heard what this little guy said, there’s hope for you to reward his instructors."
"Upon returning to Raozhou Prefecture, I will indeed see to this matter."
Bu Wenbin agreed without hesitation, Lin Chen being selected as a Jiangnan Dao martial arts student model, the instructors including the Martial Hall who guided Lin Chen would naturally receive rewards.
