Chapter 1157 Who Exactly Are You?
“What are you gambling on?” Grandpa Sun asked.
“A match of martial arts.”
“Martial arts?” Grandpa Sun said in amusement. “Then what are you worried about? You have the same amount of courage as a sunflower seed!”
“Grandpa Sun, I know you’re great but Master Sheng has been ill for a long time. Furthermore, his heart hasn’t fully recovered
yet…”
Yu Xi’s concerns were well-founded.
“Well, you know how great I am right? And you know I’ve been teaching Master Sheng martial arts right?” “Yeah.”
“Then why are you worried? Are you doubting my teaching abilities or are you doubting his learning abilities? Or perhaps, are you doubting both of us?”
“Huh?” Yu Xi exclaimed in confusion.
His words made a bit of sense…
He didn’t need to doubt Grandpa Sun’s abilities. Even if Jian Yiheng was here, he wouldn’t necessarily be a match for this old man. Similarly, he didn’t need to doubt Master Sheng’s ability to learn. If it wasn’t for his poor health, Master Sheng could definitely have achieved much more in his life.
“Then… Maybe we have a chance to win?” Yu Xi asked quietly.
“Well, if we lose, I will change my surname to yours!” Grandpa Sun exclaimed. “At most, the person you’re gambling against is going to ask someone from the reclusive families to fight against you. I’ve never been afraid of those guys!”
“How do you know about those families?” Zhai Yunsheng asked as he looked at Grandpa Sun with curiosity.
If this old man was really just an ordinary villager, how would he know about the reclusive families?
“What’s wrong about that? I’ve lived for so long. In fact, I’ve probably eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice. What’s wrong with knowing more than you?” Grandpa Sun grunted impatiently.
“Then you should eat less salt,” Liu Ting commented quietly. Jian Yiling froze for a moment when she heard this.
In the past two years when she returned to the other world, she found the original novel to finish the second half of the story.
In the second half of the story, she and Zhai Yunsheng were dead. The story focused on Qin Chuan’s growth.
After Zhai Yunsheng died, Qin Chuan’s biggest competitor became the Second Master of the Zhai family.
The Tianxing Group that supported the Second Master of the Zhai family got a large amount of their power from these reclusive families.
In the original story, these reclusive families were a mysterious force that existed in modern society.
Unlike the Zhai family and the Qin family which were known by most, these reclusive families mostly remained hidden.
Most of them had special skills, a major responsibility of some sort or incredible wealth.
As these families did not interact with others much, not many people knew of their existence.
Somehow the Second Master of the Zhai family managed to get close with a few of these families.
As the Second Master of the Zhai family did a good job maintaining secrecy, everyone else did not know about his interaction with the reclusive families.
As a result, the first time Qin Chuan met blow to blow with the Second Master of the Zhai family, he suffered a lot of losses. He could only watch from the sidelines as the Second Master of the Zhai family snatched away a major project from him.
However, later on, Qin Chuan also gained support from another reclusive family. From there onwards, he had the power and ability to fight back. With the support of Mo Shiyun, in the end, he successfully managed to win against the Second Master of the Zhai family.
However, this was the first time Jian Yiling heard someone mention this. Even two years ago, she never heard such families get mentioned.
“Grandpa Sun, who exactly are you?” Zhai Yunsheng asked again as he sized up the old man in front of him.
He already knew that this old man was not an ordinary person.
However, it was now more shocking as he mentioned those reclusive families in a somewhat disdainful tone.
