“Brother Lin, where are you going?” asked Wu You Lan. She had heard his phone conversation and it seemed as if he was going to Kunlun Mountain.
Lin Fan shrugged. “The Martial Arts Association wants me to lead a team to Kunlun Mountain to join some kind of exchange meet. I haven’t really been to the association since joining it so I agreed. I’m going to go for a visit to Kunlun Mountain.”
“But the people who organized this meet really have a problem. To have to travel all the way there in this weather, isn’t that just inflicting punishment on myself?”
Lin Fan had given in. If you picked Mount Tai or Yellow Mountain, I would’ve understood. But I really can’t understand you picking such a far location. But forget it. I’ll just treat it as a little trip.
Fraud Tian heard that and instantly became energized. “Can I go too?”
Lin Fan looked at Fraud Tian and couldn’t help but smile. “Sure. If you want to go, you can. I’ll bring you out to experience the world.”
“Ah, what are you talking about? I’ve seen lots of things like these in my life. In the past, I traveled everywhere with my father and we were unmatched no matter where we went. I’ve even fought those people who called themselves the ‘Number One Fist’ or the ‘Number One Swordsman’. They were nothing much at all.” As Fraud Tian recalled his glory days, he was filled with pride.
But when he grew up, after learning all those skills, a tragedy happened.
He had been having a duel with someone and he had just beaten that person until that person puked blood. Then, the police came and took him away. They didn’t care who he was. It was illegal to have private fights.
After this happened for a few times, Fraud Tian had become afraid. He realized that he had learned all his martial arts for nothing. He had to think about getting captured by the police every time he fought.
As for those life and death consent forms or whatever, those were just to trick people.
In the past, he had seen other people sign those forms and he had even gone to watch the fight. In the end, he attended the execution of that master who had beaten his opponent to death.
That scene was a miserable one.
Wu You Lan was very excited as well. “Brother Lin, can I go too? I want to go and take a look as well.”
“Alright, let’s go together then.” Lin Fan felt that it would be more lively with more people that he knew. He wondered how long they would go there for.
Wu Tian He smiled. “I’ll just look after the shop. I’m old and I can’t endure traveling all the way there.”
“Dad, it really isn’t good for you to travel all the way there,” said Wu You Lan.
Zhao Zhong Yang, on the other hand, was thrilled. “I’ve never seen this kind of exchange meets before. I have to go too. At the same time, I’ll let my Internet friends see the exchanges between experts.”
Lin Fan nodded. “Alright, we’ll all go together. Then let’s close the shop for today. Go back and pack your things. We have to set off tomorrow. The meet will be in two days.”
Fraud Tian had not traveled in a long time. Now that they were going to attend this exchange meet, he was exhilarated.
Zhao Zhong Yang had never seen such a thing before. Now that he was going out to see such a big event, he was even more excited.
As for Wu You Lan, she just wanted to see the outside world with Lin Fan.
To Lin Fan, it wouldn’t be nice of him to reject President Niu’s request. Otherwise, he would never travel there.
The Martial Arts Association.
Lin Fan drove here to take a look at the situation. He hadn’t been here in a long time and he had no idea what it was like now.
He parked the car in the carpark. Then, he walked towards the entrance. When the security guard saw someone coming, he wanted to stop the person and ask for an identification. But when he saw who it was, he instantly came to his senses.
“President Lin…” the security guard called out excitedly.
He had been working here since the previous year. Naturally, he knew that Master Lin was the association’s Vice-President. Now that he saw Master Lin, he was in disbelief. He hadn’t expected that he would finally see Master Lin come after so long.
“Hello.” Lin Fan smiled and nodded at him.
The security guard had a look of gratefulness on his face as he started speaking to himself. “Ah, Master Lin actually said hello to me. I’m so lucky!”
Lin Fan felt very helpless regarding such situations. He felt that the opposite party was being too excited.
In the end, he just entered the association without saying much else.
Looking left and right, he realized that the association had changed greatly. The old equipment from before had all been replaced. Even the flooring seemed to have been changed. Also, the walls of the rooms had been repainted. The place gave off a feeling of cleanliness and liveliness.
To Lin Fan, this was what a martial arts association should be like, a place promoting vitality.
As he walked, many people started discussing.
“Hey, look at that person. Why does it feel like he’s President Lin?”
“You must be mistaken. President Lin hasn’t come here in a long while. Right now, he’s over at Cloud Street.”
“No, I swear I’m not mistaken. President Lin’s photo is still pinned along the corridor. I definitely can’t be wrong.”
“Then why don’t you call his name and see if he responds?”
“President Lin…”
Lin Fan was taking in the atmosphere when he heard someone call him. He turned around and saw a group of people pointing at him and talking about him. Then, he smiled. “Hello…”
When those people received a reply, they were exhilarated.
“D*mn, it really is President Lin!”
“President Lin has come to the association!”
A group of people ran over hurriedly and surrounded Lin Fan. A man dressed in his training attire said excitedly, “President Lin, I finally manage to see you after waiting for so long.”
Lin Fan smiled and said, “Why were you waiting to see me?”
The man took out his phone and wanted to take a selfie with Lin Fan. “President Lin, I just joined the association a while back. I come here every day hoping to see you. I didn’t think that I would finally see you today.”
When he came to the association, he had heard about the legend here.
President Lin had completely overwhelmed all the chairmen of the association single-handedly, without a shred of hesitation.
As for why he had done it, it had all been for a group of disabled children whose performance segment had gotten canceled for no reason. This had made President Lin furious and he had stormed right into the office, causing a ruckus. He had beaten those chairmen until they screamed and cowered in fear.
Although the man hadn’t witnessed that scene personally, he felt that it must have been a miserable scene.
“Master Lin.” Jiang Fei had seen that figure in the distance and hadn’t dared to confirm it at first. But when he saw Lin Fan’s face, he immediately recognized him. Then, he walked over excitedly. “Master Lin, it really is you.”
“Elder Brother Jiang, it’s been so long. Why haven’t you come to Cloud Street to look for me?” Lin Fan saw him and instantly broke into a smile. This Jiang Fei was an old friend. In the past, Jiang Fei would take very good care of him whenever he came to the association.
Jiang Fei saw that Master Lin was being surrounded by a group of people, so he started waving his hands. “What are you all doing? Hurry up and get on with your own business. Master Lin has come back to the association. You’ll have lots of opportunities to see him in the future.”
“It’s fine. We’ll just take some photos,” said Lin Fan.
The association members were incomparably thrilled. Then, they started snapping photos without hesitating anymore. Afterward, they finally left contently.
