Chapter 41: I'll Give You Two Years to Chase After Me, Fei Kuang Web

  "Gasp!"

  Zhang Guoqiang spat out all the tea water he had just drunk, accurately spraying Zhang Guozhong's head and face. He knew he was in big trouble, so he quickly got up and said: "You guys chat, I'll go make some tea." Then he slipped away.

  Zhang Guozhong wiped the tea leaves off his face with a loud snort, saying: "The town head is in charge of tens of thousands of people, isn't that considered a big shot?"

  Zhang Jun and Lu Jianjun nodded in agreement.

  At night, all sounds ceased, and everyone fell asleep. Zhang Jun came alone to the balcony and stood up in a mixed yuan pole. From the beginning of practicing the mixed yuan pole, whether taking a train or on the plain and Dongling, he never stopped practicing and was able to grasp the subtleties of the mixed yuan pole more and more.

  He sank his feet into the ground, and instantly felt his body as stable as Mount Tai, with his blood and energy surging like a tide. He then entered inner vision, beginning to adjust his bodily state. In the past few days, he had already cultivated his internal energy, and now he was mainly pondering the subtleties of circulating his blood and energy.

  "How can one control the flow of qi and blood? The master said that a martial artist with good innate ability would need to cultivate for three to five years or more before they could even touch upon the realm of manipulating qi and blood, it sounds like a very difficult task." He thought to himself, "I wonder when I'll be able to achieve this."

  He recalled his narrow escapes in the East Sea and at the train station, feeling a bit down. He deeply felt that his current strength was too weak, and with his ability to see through things, he would face more dangers than ordinary people.

  "No matter what, I must improve my strength, at least to the point where I can protect myself in a life-threatening situation. I wonder what kind of martial arts Master will teach me next month, will it be something amazing?" He thought to himself.

  At the moment of inner vision, he felt a warm golden light flowing slowly from his left eye, transforming into a warm current that first circulated in his head and then flowed down along his spine, dispersing and nourishing his internal organs, muscles, and bones.

  The warm current flows down to the soles of the feet after passing through the coccyx. In other words, Zhang Jun can now spread the golden light from his left eye throughout his body, strengthening his entire body.

  "Master said that practicing martial arts is mainly a process of strengthening the body, allowing practitioners to possess superhuman strength and explosive power, and then applying combat techniques. I'm currently using Golden Light to strengthen my body every day, I don't know if it counts as cultivation, and how much help it will be for my future martial arts practice?"

  Zhang Jun didn't return to his bedroom until 5 am and got up as soon as it dawned, still full of energy without any sign of fatigue. After breakfast, Third Uncle and Third Aunt went home. Zhang Jun then pulled Zhang Guoqiang along, preparing to buy a shopfront for his parents according to their original plan.

  The uncle and nephew ran for three days, almost all the shops in the county town were seen, and finally chose a shop near the No. 1 Middle School of the county. The shop has two floors, with a total area of 220 square meters, which was once a supermarket.

  The owner of the shop asked for 3 million, and it was a one-time price. Zhang Jun and Zhang Guoqiang considered it carefully and decided to buy this storefront. The next day, Zhang Guozhong and Lu Hongmei also came to check, and they were all very satisfied.

  Then they spent two more days running various procedures, and then found cleaning staff to clean the entire store. When Zhang Guozhong and his wife moved into the store to prepare for the opening, two weeks had passed.

  The small shop mainly sells student supplies and daily necessities, and the business is very hot because it is near County No. 1 Middle School. During this time, both Zhang Jun and Zhang Guoqiang helped out in the shop, observing its shortcomings and making suggestions.

  Unconsciously, Zhang Jun had been back home for more than 20 days. Zhang Guoqiang should also go to Donghai to report, so the two of them set off together and headed to Donghai.

  Everything at home has been settled, and the two of them are in a rather relaxed mood, chatting and laughing along the way. They first took a bus from Qinghe County to Dongling City, then flew directly from Dongling to Donghai City, greatly shortening their travel time.

  Upon arrival in Donghai, Zhang Guoqiang went directly to the personnel bureau to report for duty, while Zhang Jun immediately contacted Lin Xian. Only after making a phone call did he learn that Lin Xian was currently in Yun Province, saying she had to attend an important family meeting.

  Zhang Jun still wanted to ask more, but the other end had already hurriedly hung up the phone, saying they would talk again when they were free. He vaguely felt that something was not quite right, and Lin Xian's tone seemed very urgent, as if she had encountered some trouble.

  Yun Province, in a cluster of luxurious buildings, there is an inconspicuous small building. On the small building, however, many key members of the Lin family are gathered. Among them are Lin Xian's father, Lin Hui, and second uncle, Lin Chi, as well as numerous decision-makers.

  Lin Xian sat in the crowd, her head bowed, her face pale, but her lips tightly pursed, her expression firm.

  Lin Hui looked like he was in his forties or fifties, with bright eyes and sitting up straight. At this moment, his face had a few shades of gloominess, quietly sitting without speaking. Next to him sat Lin Chi, who was five or six years younger than Lin Hui and more spirited. His gaze was very sharp, occasionally flashing with a cold light, and the corners of his mouth hung with a smile that seemed to be enjoying the show.

  Lin Hui hummed and finally spoke up, his eyes fixed on Lin Xian: "Lin Xian, tell these uncles and elders what you've been doing in Donghai. Have you lived up to the training and upbringing of the Lin family?"

  Lin Xian raised her head, and that stunningly beautiful face made the tribespeople feel astonished as well. She said calmly: "Father, I don't want to be a sacrifice for the family's interests, and I don't like Xu Bo."

  "Ridiculous!" Lin Hui scolded, "Everything you eat, wear and use are things that ordinary people dream of having, and all these were given to you by the Lin family. Do you think that if you weren't my daughter, you could have had such a life? Since you've enjoyed it for over twenty years, then you should know how to repay kindness!"

  "Besides, that Xu Bo has the looks and the status, you two being together would be beneficial for both families. Such a perfect arrangement, and you want to destroy it with just three words 'I don't like him'?"

  Lin Chi smiled and said, "Big brother, Xiaoyan is a girl after all. Which girl doesn't have a Prince Charming in her heart? I think we should give her some time, she'll come to her senses, don't blame her."

  At this time, a twenty-year-old young man with a playful smile on his face said: "Dad, you may not know that when she was in Donghai, she frequently came and went with a poor boy named Zhang Jun, eating and living in the same room."

  Lin Chi intentionally revealed a surprised expression and said: "Is that so? It turns out that Xiao Yan already has a boyfriend, haha, no wonder."

  Lin Hui was furious and asked loudly: "Lin Xian, is Lin Jian's words true?"

  Lin Xian's eyes were a bit dazed, she had a good feeling about Zhang Jun, but to say she liked him, it was still far from that extent, after all, the two of them had only known each other for a short time. However, if she had to choose between Xu Bo and Zhang Jun, she would unhesitatingly choose Zhang Jun.

  Her thoughts racing, Lin Xian said faintly, "Zhang Jun is not my boyfriend, but he's more worthy of cooperation with the Lin family than Fei Cui Bang."

  Everyone was stunned and thought that this young man named Zhang Jun must have some background. Lin Hui asked: "Lin Xuan, what do you mean by this?"

  Lin Xian naturally couldn't reveal Zhang Jun's "secret", she only said: "In short, Zhang Jun can provide Lin's family with more and better jadeite at a price that is more favorable than the Jade Association."

  That young man named Lin Jian suddenly sneered: "Lin Xuan, aren't you talking nonsense? Xu Bo had already investigated that kid named Zhang Jun. He's a graduate of Donghai University and comes from a small county town with no money or power. Can such an ordinary person really provide emerald supplies to the Lin family?"

  Lin Xian was also unable to come up with an explanation and could only say: "I believe he has a way."

  Many people present couldn't help but sneer, thinking that this beautiful and intelligent Lin Xian was being foolish today. Can it be said that love can really make a woman stupid?

  Lin Hui was even more furious, slamming his hand on the table and shouting: "Lin Xian, if you're changing your mind because of that little brat, the Lin family will make him disappear completely!"

  Lin Xian's face showed a look of fear, and she said loudly: "Father, Zhang Jun is not an unknown person, his master is Hua Bu Yi, and the mayor of Donghai is also his friend. If you move him, the Lin family will also find it difficult to bear the consequences."

  Lin Jian burst out laughing and said, "Lin Xian, your storytelling skills are getting more and more impressive. Who is Hua Bu Yi I don't know, what kind of identity does the mayor of Donghai have that he would know this poor kid?"

  Lin Xuan was secretly worried and thought that if she didn't give an explanation today, the Lin family would probably take action against Zhang Jun, which wasn't what she wanted to see.

  "I won't drag Zhang Jun down." She thought to herself, "Zhang Jun, oh Zhang Jun, I'll give you two years' time, hoping that you can become stronger. You also give me two years' time, and let me fall in love with you."

  She made up her mind and said in a low voice, "Father, I can marry Xu Bo, but you have to promise me two years of time. Within two years, no one is allowed to restrict my freedom."

  "Uncle, don't believe her, this is a delaying tactic, she might run off with that poor boy tomorrow."

  Lin Xian coldly looked at Lin Jian and said: "Lin Jian, you have no right to speak here, shut your mouth!"

  Lin Jian's face turned red with anger, but before he could say anything else, Lin Chi stopped him with a stern glance.

  Lin Hui fell silent, Lin Xian had already signed a two-year contract with Fei Cui Bang before, and the Lin family could afford to wait for two years. However, he was still worried that something unexpected might happen in between, so he hesitated for a while.

  Lin Xian said: "Father, you know my temperament. If I don't want to do something, it's useless even if a knife is held to my neck."

  Lin Hui hummed and said: "I'll give you two years, but you'd better be more restrained and have less to do with that Zhang Jun person."

  Lin let out a sigh of relief and said, "I understand."

  The storm subsided, but Lin Xian's heart was filled with mixed emotions. The coldness and ruthlessness of her family left her heart chilled, while the unknown future filled her with confusion.

  At night, she dialed Zhang Jun's phone number. As soon as the call was connected, she asked: "Zhang Jun, is my sister pretty?"

  Zhang Junyi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course she's beautiful. Mei Jie is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, without exception."

  Lin Xian said with a tone that was half-joking and half-serious, "Since you think my sister is pretty, then go ahead and chase me. I'll only give you two years, if you can't catch up within two years, then you won't have any chance."
