Chapter 2: The Chen Family of Golden Martial Arts

  On the main street of Jinwu National Capital, a man in green clothes rode a majestic horse with a fiery red coat and no stray hairs, galloping swiftly. Although he couldn't be described as having a face like jade or a demeanor like a noble tree, he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, exuding an air of elegance.

  The man rode his horse straight to a very large mansion, on the gate of which hung a plaque that read "Flying Tiger General's Mansion". The man reined in his horse and immediately had it taken by a servant.

  "Master, you're back! The mistress has been thinking of you every day. Looking at Master's robust and vigorous appearance, your kung fu skills must have improved a lot!" The doorman was very excited to see the man.

  The man burst out laughing: "Of course, take good care of Huo Lin for me, I'll go pay respects to my mother first."

  "Don't worry, young master. I'll take care of Hu Lin as if he were my own ancestor, not a single hair will be harmed." The doorman responded with a flattering tone.

  "Glib tongue! Reward yours!" The man took out a gold ingot and threw it to the gatekeeper, then strode into the General's mansion.

  "Master! You're back! Everyone, come quick, Master is back!" A maid saw the man walking in and shouted loudly. Immediately, many servants and maids gathered around to greet him, each one very excited, it was clear that the man was very welcome in this General's mansion.

  "Alright, alright, everyone is fine, you all go and busy yourselves, I still have things to attend to!" The man asked each of the crowd in turn, then let them withdraw and continued walking towards the inner courtyard.

  As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the inner courtyard, he saw a sturdy and powerful young man who was about to come out. As soon as he saw the man, the young man immediately ran over with joy: "Big brother, you're back!"

  "Haha, yeah! Not seeing you for a year, you little guy has grown taller again, really something of yours." The man punched the boy's chest. The boy was more than a head taller than the man, and this punch required the man to raise his hand to reach, looking quite amusing.

  The young man chuckled and scratched his head: "I've been eating a lot lately, so I'm growing fast, haha! Brother, let me tell you some good news. I've already reached the Xiantian realm, and my master praised me as a once-in-a-century genius."

  The man was delighted to hear that: "Really? Great, my brother is indeed a genius. It seems we'll have to celebrate with a good meal tonight. By the way, is Mother inside? Is her body at ease?"

  The young man nodded immediately: "Yes, yes, just now my mother was mentioning you, saying that you should come home and let me take a look. Indeed. Let's go, let's go, Mother will be very happy to see you."

  The man nodded and walked quickly towards the inside, shouting loudly before he even reached the house: "Mother, I'm back!" Immediately, a woman in plain clothes came out, followed by a tall and large man wearing a fur-lined coat. Seeing the man, she exclaimed with surprise: "Pan'er, you're back! Come here and let your mother take a look." After saying that, she walked over to pull him into an examination, then frowned and said: "You've gotten darker and thinner, you must have suffered a lot this year!"

  The man shook his head: "No, no, don't worry, mom. Who dares to give me a hard time? We have three tigers at home. This is the result of my training, look at me, I'm more robust than before." After finishing speaking, he half-undressed and revealed his sturdy and dark muscles, laughing loudly at the woman.

  "You little rascal!" The woman raised her hand and stroked the man's head with a doting smile.

  "Dad, you look even younger than before after not seeing you for a year! Have you found a stepmother for me and Junjun yet?" The man bowed to the tall man behind the woman and said loudly with a teasing tone.

  That tall man glared fiercely at the young man, then said in a gentle tone: "How is that possible? The mediocre women outside can't even compare to a single strand of your mother's hair. I'm already lucky to have your mother, why would I think about others?"

  "How dare you!" The woman scolded angrily, and the man immediately shut up, not daring to say another word.

  The man smiled lightly, he was already used to such things. Although his father was the Flying Tiger General of Jinwu Country and was majestic outside, once he returned home, he became the lowest in status, and his wife and children had to indulge him.

  "Dad, why did you hurry me back? Is there something important?" the man asked.

  The tall man nodded: "That's right, there is something important. The First Army has lost on the front line, and King Wang has already dismissed and investigated that old fellow An Qi. He let me lead the Second Army to set out in three days, I think you have also been trained enough, want to take you together to go to battle, what do you think?"

  "Pan'er, think carefully, you also know that from childhood to adulthood, your mother never thought about how much achievement you two brothers would have, as long as you are safe and sound, that's all. Your mother doesn't want you to go." The woman said with a frown.

  The tall man immediately replied: "Madam, didn't we agree to let Pan'er decide for herself? How can you say such things?"

  "What did I say? Why can't I speak? The young masters of other families are all enjoying themselves in the capital, why should my Pan'er go to the front lines? Didn't they all used to be so arrogant and invincible? When bullying my Pan'er, each one was the best in the world, now they're all cowards."

  "This, this, this..." The tall and powerful man was indeed a treasured husband, seeing his wife get angry, he immediately became tongue-tied and didn't know how to respond.

  The young man immediately laughed and persuaded: "Alright, you two elders don't need to quarrel about this matter anymore. Before I came back, I had already guessed it was this matter. Mother, don't blame Father anymore, Father is not wrong, a real man must experience some things in order to grow up, let alone with Father being the Flying Tiger General, your son will definitely be fine. Father, three days later, I'll set out with you."

  "Good, this is indeed Chen Feihu's son! How can the offspring of a tiger be a dog!" The tall man burst out laughing loudly.

  The woman scowled and cursed, "You old thing, how dare you speak like that! You're not only a mess yourself, but also corrupting the two younger ones." After finishing speaking, she prepared to kick this man with her foot. It seems this woman is quite fierce too.

  The woman was just an ordinary person, and it would have been easy for the tall man to dodge her with his strength. However, he didn't even try to avoid her kick, instead letting her kick him before smiling and appeasing the lady's anger.

  "Haha!" The man couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Dad, mom, I'll go wash up a bit, call me at dinner time."

  "Alright, alright, you go wash up first, you must be exhausted from the long journey!" Upon hearing her son's words, the woman temporarily let her husband off.

  The man bowed and backed away, and the tall youth beside him also followed out.

  "Pan'er's strategy is unmatched, Jun'er's bravery surpasses all others. My Chen family is truly blessed by heaven!" The tall man said with great satisfaction as he watched the backs of his two sons.

  "Of course, I wouldn't have a useless son. So you Chens should be grateful to me."

  The tall man immediately replied with a flattering tone: "Of course, madam, your merits are great and my Chen family has accumulated great virtues to have the good fortune of marrying you. The wind is strong outside, let's go inside first." The woman glared at him with feigned anger, then walked in.

  Among the two people, that young man was naturally Chen Pao who had crossed over. It was very strange that when he came to this world, his name didn't change and he was still called Chen Pao.
