Chapter 130 - 117 Mid-grade Elixir
The Zhu Family Boxing School, deep within the inner courtyard.
"Master." Zhu Lingshan’s face showed a flash of anxiety: "The deadline for the response is getting closer, how should we choose?"
Zhu Jiyi frowned deeply, pacing back and forth in the room two or three times before speaking: "Disciple, I have already written to your senior brother. Let’s wait a few more days and see what his response is."
During this time, the wrinkles on Zhu Jiyi’s face had deepened considerably.
"The other two families have chosen to follow the Hong Family." Zhu Lingshan frowned, speaking coldly: "But Hong Huaiyun from the Hong Family is a domineering person. Following him, when it comes time to resist the bandits, they will use our school’s disciples as cannon fodder, which would be unwise."
"The information you obtained, I understand as well. But Pei Yuangu only cares about a few pharmacies and granaries; he doesn’t care about our martial school. If we follow the Pei Family, and the Hong Family comes for us, we will be hard-pressed to respond."
"Your second master also leans towards the Hong Family; after all, at this stage, not opposing the Hong Family has some rationale." Zhu Jiyi’s face darkened as he continued: "For this reason, I have discussed it with him several times but have not reached an agreement."
"During this period, the other two families have increased their tuition fees significantly, and basically don’t accept commoners, which is against our founding principles. Since the establishment of the Zhu Family Boxing School, we’ve always been a school for commoners, and this bloodline legacy cannot change its flag."
"So I am waiting for news from your senior brother. With his support, we will be more confident." Zhu Jiyi patted Zhu Lingshan on the shoulder and smiled: "Don’t worry too much, just do what you should do now and quietly wait for your senior brother’s reply."
"I will take your second brother to inspect the secret medicine production site in a few days. I’m just afraid that something might go wrong there."
Hearing these words, Zhu Lingshan could only nod silently and turn to teach several junior brothers.
