Chapter 84: Ch. 39 Part 2
"Aiya~ you old man at this age still run around vigorously." King Pingxi complained. "Servants bring old Fei something to drink and eat!" King Pingxi ordered.
"Old King leave that for now. Where’s the martial arts master you said you found? Take me to see him now! Yes, let me see him first before anything else!" Old Fei demanded leaving no space for disagreement.
King Pingxi sighed and shook his head, looking at his old friend who was behaving this way because of a martial arts master it was really interesting. His old friend who was a retired commander of his army was strong and good in martial arts, but sadly because he didn’t have a martial artist to teach him how to use internal force energy, the strength he could possess was limited. So it was understandable to see this anxious behavior of his when he saw Jinhua and doctor Shi used internal force energy and was told that a very capable martial arts master was found. Finding a martial arts master in their time was hard and even now it’s very hard, since most martial arts master found now would rather join the princes or work for the emperor himself.
"Old Fei sit down and rest first, you wouldn’t be able to see Master Jun now anyway." King Pingxi calmly explained.
"Wh-why?" old Fei stuttered.
"Actually uncle Fei, his excellency and master Ling just went out to stroll around. And we don’t know the time they’ll return" Jinhua explained more for old Fei to understand.
Old Fei looked dejected from what he was told, he slowly dragged his feet to King Pingxi’s side and slumped on a chair beside King Pingxi.
"Why is an old man of your age sulking like a child, it’s not as if master Jun wouldn’t return. He’ll be back later so just chat with me until then. And he even left some of his disciples at the courtyard he is residing in!" King said with dissatisfactions.
Old Fei suddenly got back colour on his face and looking like an exuberant youngster. King Pingxi was baffled and amused. "Let me meet his disciples at once! Old King you can’t deny me that, right?" he asked with expectations.
"Hm..well I wouldn’t know if it’s alright to just approach the disciples without the permission of the master." King Pingxi tensed. What he said was the rule of most martial arts school, and when it comes to YanZhi, King Pingxi was frantic. Both husband and wife gave him shivers the first time they got to know each other. He didn’t want to cross any line, and he didn’t want to know the consequences. He didn’t know the full reason why his son and son-in-law were apprehensive and full of worship of Yanzhi and Xiao Ling, after meeting the couple and having a chat with them, he could tell that what his son informed him about the couple may not be everything and there was definitely more that wouldn’t be told to him. Like the fact that the couple were able to smuggle out a convict who was in the process of being beheaded easily. His heart was in a jumble state on the way to morning court earlier in the morning, but at the court section no one made mention of the convict who was smuggled by the couple. It was as if the convict was non-existent and the world had forgotten about him. Fart, how can a mere martial arts master make such feat easily without breaking a sweat. He couldn’t begin to fathom about these couple and he wasn’t brave enough to sniff out the truth.
"Uncle Fei finish eating first, and when you’re done I’ll take you to see them." Jinhua suggested when the servants started to serve the dishes prepared for old Fei. "You probably hadn’t had breakfast yet before running over, right" Jinhua added knowing how his uncle was.
