Chapter 554: Chapter 554: The Real Master Jin
There were two other people in the room, but they just watched from a distance, not daring to easily approach.
“Big brother, this way.”
Hei Lang pointed towards the center of the room, then spoke to Lin Yi.
“How could we do such a thing? After all, we are guests, we shouldn’t steal the limelight from the host. Let’s sit down below.”
He pointed to a sofa, Hei Lang nodded, and the two walked over.
“Hei Lang, what exactly is happening?”
“That guy, he might also be from a prestigious lineage, but our Xiaoyao Sect is well-known in the martial world, and now I’m True Person Luyao’s disciple. So, if he knows even a little about the rules here, he’d know he’s no match for me.”
“Not bad, Hei Lang, I’ve never really heard you mention these things before.”
“Haha, those are all things of the past, and it’s been almost 10 years since I left the sect, so it’s better not to bring them up. By the way, big brother, where do you think they have gone now?”
“I’m afraid they’ve gone to meet the real Mr. Jin. Then they’re going to discuss the matter with him. If everything goes as expected, Mr. Jin should show up later and meet with us.”
“Really? Are you saying you’re certain he’s not Mr. Jin? But didn’t they tell us earlier that Mr. Jin is a young man?”
“I’m afraid everyone in town has been deceived by them. Besides, think about it, does all his energy match his current appearance?”
“Experience? Appearance?”
Hei Lang just frowned with difficulty.
He felt that he indeed hadn’t quite grasped what was being said.
“Are you saying there’s a difference there?”
“Yes, the difference is huge. If he had truly been through those hardships and created this commercial empire himself, he would not look like this. I’ve looked at the man carefully, he hasn’t been through any crises, and obviously, with his delicate, well-cared-for look, he should be a rich second generation.”
“Oh, I see. Big brother, you observe quite carefully. Otherwise, we really would have been deceived by them.”
“That’s why we must always be careful and cautious in everything we do. Do you understand?”
“Okay, I got it, big brother.”
Hei Lang nodded; in truth, when he first started following Lin Yi, he had great admiration for this ‘big brother’.
Although Lin Yi didn’t have any martial arts skills, he owed his life and gratitude to Lin Yi from their past, something Hei Lang likely would never forget.
Thus, Hei Lang had made up his mind very early that in this lifetime, he would follow no other, and he would never stray half a step from Lin’s side.
The young man hurried out from inside.
“Where is the old master now?”
“The old master is still in the back garden, where he might be interrogating that guy.”
“It looks like this person is really tough to deal with, I can’t deceive him. And with my current ability, I can’t control everything.”
“Should we seek instructions from the old master?”
“Exactly, we need to consult him now. Arrange for everyone to be on guard around the perimeter, just in case. Although we may not be a match for him, we have more people, and with traps around here, I believe we should be able to hold on for a while.”
“Okay, I understand.”
“By the way, one more thing, unless I command otherwise, no one is allowed to provoke him. If he makes any demands, try to accommodate them to the best of your ability to keep the situation stable. Got it?”
“Okay, I understand, young master.”
The man nodded cautiously.
It was known that Mr. Jin had been running things on his own in this town for many years, and frankly, had never suffered such a humiliation before.
This suddenly left his people feeling somewhat at a loss.
The young man hurried towards the back.
In the back garden, there was a very concealed house, rarely visited by anyone in normal times.
Only Mr. Jin himself had the privilege to enter this room.
As he arrived outside the door, he saw two men standing at the entrance, apparently standing guard there.
“Young master, what’s going on?”
As he walked over, one of the men stepped forward and asked.
“Is the old master still in the room?”
“Yes, the old master is still there.”
“There’s been some trouble outside, I must see the old master.”
“Right now?”
“Yes, right now. It’s urgent, and that man has significant influence. I can’t hold him off anymore.”
“Okay, I understand. Follow me.”
It was unusual for the young master to speak with such urgency, something they had never encountered in the past.
He quickly led him into the room.
In the empty room, there was a large screen in the center.
Behind the screen, a young man was kneeling,
His head hanging down, and he seemed to have lost all will to fight.
On the other side of the screen sat an elderly man with white hair.
In his hands was a teapot,
And from the marks on the teapot, it seemed to be quite old.
“Ling’er, what brings you here?”
“Grandfather, there’s been some trouble outside, I need to speak with you further.”
“Okay, I got it. Take him away, and without my orders, no one is to attend to him, understood?”
“Yes, old master, I got it, come with me.”
With those words, he grabbed the man and dragged him out of the room.
“Ling’er, rushing in such a panic, how unseemly. Didn’t I tell you that no matter what happens, you should not panic? I expect you to take over for me in the future.”
“Grandfather, I know, but there’s a young man outside now. He’s actually very poor, and he has a skilled person with him who has already repelled my men. He says he must meet with you.”
“Meet with me? Why does he want to meet me? Wasn’t it you he was supposed to meet?”
“Yes, grandfather, but he saw through me right away. He said I’m not the real Mr. Jin. He wants to meet the real Mr. Jin, so now I’m struggling to hold him off, and I’ve come to see you.”
What do you think?
