Chapter 49 - 40 Guest Elder
"Lin Yuan, the financial resources required for martial arts training are extraordinary. I understand your situation to some extent. Today, I took the liberty of inviting Shopkeeper Tian here to help you find additional sources of funding."
"I will rely on Senior Brother’s arrangements." Lin Yuan was moved and grateful at heart. Xie Wanxin was truly a good person. Although Lin Yuan currently did not lack much in terms of financial resources, it was clear that Xie Wanxin was someone worth befriending deeply.
Were it not for the help of the Nine Chapters, his situation would likely be far less manageable than it is now.
"Haha!" Xie Wanxin laughed twice, then turned his head to the shopkeeper he had brought: "Shopkeeper Tian, this is my good brother Lin Yuan. I hope you can provide him with some assistance in the future."
"Given Young Master Xie’s orders, I will naturally do my utmost to support." Shopkeeper Tian said with a humble and respectful smile towards Lin Yuan: "Young Master Lin, I would like to hire you as a third-class Guest Elder for Tian’s Transportation Company. You are invited to visit Blackwood Street No. 23 at your convenience. We will then discuss the details further, and I await your esteemed arrival."
"I will definitely visit another day!" Lin Yuan would not refuse Xie Wanxin’s goodwill and replied to Shopkeeper Tian.
Shopkeeper Tian nodded with a smile and clasped his hands towards Xie Wanxin again: "Young Master Xie, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?"
"Very good, thank you, Shopkeeper Tian." Xie Wanxin nodded.
"In that case, we will not disturb you further and take our leave!" Shopkeeper Tian glanced around, then clasped his hands and left.
After Shopkeeper Tian had led the two out of the hall and walked some distance away from the Transmission Hall, one of the men asked: "Shopkeeper, a third-class Guest Elder typically requires an elite disciple in a black robe. How can Lin Yuan, merely a chores worker, deserve such treatment even with Young Master Xie’s influence?"
Shopkeeper Tian halted, a gentle smile on his face: "It’s not just about Xie Wanxin’s influence. A message has come from the main family that soon, Hou Sixian will enter the main hall to pay respects to the Dao Ancestor."
