<h4>Chapter 736: Chapter 0738: Special Physique</h4>
Jian Chunqiu couldn’t help but lightly cough to interrupt the conversation between the two.
He had the appearance of someone who had just woken up, yawned, and then slowly sat up, "Yo, you guys are back, huh?"
Jian Chunqiu stood up, stretching his limbs, while giving Chu Ge a sidelong nce. That look clearly suggested Chu Ge was a wimp, not taking full advantage of such a good opportunity.
Chu Ge was also a bit baffled by his look.
"Is this from shopping? You’ve bought quite a lot." Jian Chunqiu looked at the numerous bags in Chu Ge’s hand, nodded in approval, and said, "Not bad, not bad. As a man, you should do just that. She came all the way to Capital City, so you should take good care of her, apany her to shop more, which can also promote your rtionship."
Chu Ge caught the implication in his words, coughed lightly, and said, "Uncle Jian, you just woke up with a strong scent of alcohol on you, don’t you want to take a bath and freshen up?"
Jian Chunqiu red at Chu Ge, "You brat, actuallyining about the smell of alcohol on me."
While they were talking, Lin Dong also woke up. He looked around nkly, and after a brief moment of confusion, he realized he was in Chu Ge’s vi.
He quickly got up, slightly annoyed and pped his forehead, "How did I fall asleep here?"
He should have gone straight back to the Gambling Stone Field!
Lin Dong scrambled upright and saw Chu Ge and Jian Chunqiu standing in the middle of the living room, pausing for a moment, "Mr. Chu, Elder Jian, what are you both doing here?"
"Not bad, kiddo, to have only slept a bit after drinking so much and already waking up, it seems like the techniques I taught you have been learned."
Lin Dong, feeling embarrassed, scratched his head andughed, "All thanks to Master’s good teaching."
"Eh eh, don’t call me Master, I’m not your master, and you are not my apprentice."
Jian Chunqiu hurriedly waved his hands, refusing.
Lin Dong expressed his speechlessness, "But that’s not what you said at the dinner table. Didn’t you say you particrly liked me and wanted to take me as your disciple?"
Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu with a sense of grievance, as he had taken those words seriously.
Jian Chunqiu coughed awkwardly. The disciple he most wanted to take was Chu Ge, but now Chu Ge was already beyond his teaching. Indeed, he had said he liked Lin Dong at the dinner table, and he did like Lin Dong.
Because Lin Dong was a clever kid who could learn many things after being told just once, and even think further, applying them flexibly.
"Okay, okay, someone else led you through the door, nowing to ask me to be your master would mess up the seniority, wouldn’t it?"
At that time, he said that merely to irritate Chu Ge, being a little tipsy. Now that he was sober, was he really going to take Lin Dong as a disciple?
Chu Ge smiled, "Although I helped Lin Dong open his governor and conception vessels, he’s not my disciple. However, I think it would be a good choice if he takes you as his master."
After all, he wasn’t the type to take on disciples.
Hearing this, Lin Dong looked at Jian Chunqiu with joy, keen to understand his opinion.
Jian Chunqiu touched his nose, "Taking a disciple; it’s indeed possible, but to just agree to it might be a bit too hasty, right?"
Lin Dong eximed, misunderstanding Jian Chunqiu’s words, scratching his head, despondently said, "Elder Jian, how can you be such a cliché as well, actually being fond of money."
He’s just a penniless kid, where would he get money from?
Uncle Jian pped the back of his head, "You brat, what nonsense are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who loves money? The ritual of taking on an apprentice is a very solemn affair, and you don’t even offer me a cup of tea and still want to be my disciple?"
Only then did Lin Dong realize that he had misunderstood Uncle Jian’s intentions, and he grinned sheepishly at Uncle Jian, "Elder Jian..."
"Still calling me Elder Jian?" Chu Ge interjected.
"Oh no, Master!" Lin Dong said with a wide smile. He thought of something, quickly turned around, picked up the teacup from the coffee table, poured a cup of tea, walked in front of Uncle Jian, and knelt down, "Master above, please ept your disciple’s bow."
Uncle Jian looked at him irritably but still epted his tea, "Get up."
Lin Dong got up cheerfully, trotted over to Uncle Jian, and with a rather pleasant face shining with excitement, said, "Master, is there anything you want to teach me now?"
Uncle Jian nced at him indifferently and snorted coldly, "Teach you? Well, there is something - this tea of yours, it’s cold! Go and get your master a fresh cup!"
Lin Dong: ...
The story of Lin Dong bing Uncle Jian’s disciple was, to say the least, quite dramatic.
However, Chu Ge was a bit surprised; he hadn’t expected Uncle Jian to really take Lin Dong as his disciple.
Lin Dong went off to the Gambling Stone Field, and Mu Bingtong went upstairs to rest, leaving only Chu Ge and Uncle Jian.
The two stood on the balcony, enjoying their tea leisurely, and Chu Ge asked in confusion, "Uncle Jian, why did you agree to take Lin Dong as your disciple?"
After taking a sip of tea, Uncle Jian looked at him meaningfully, "Don’t think I don’t know what’s on your mind. Rest assured, I am not that petty. I just think that Lin Dong reminds me a lot of you back in the day."
Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean that Lin Dong has a natural talent for martial arts?"
Uncle Jian nodded, "You could say that, he just needs someone to guide him correctly."
Chu Ge understood, he could help people open their governor and conception vessels to be true Ancient Martial Artists, but he wouldn’tpete to properly guide someone onto the right path.
Because he himself was still exploring this path and didn’t dare to pretend to know it all.
"But still, no matter how you guide him, he’s just a Postnatal and can’t break through to Innate levels."
Chu Ge voiced the doubt in his heart.
Even if Lin Dong had talent, in the end, he could at most reach the level of Huo Tianqian, and Huo Tianqian, a man in his forties, could hardly talk about any natural talent. If a person like him could achieve that, what advantage does Lin Dong’s talent really speak of?
Uncle Jian gave Chu Ge a profound look and smiled faintly, "You only see one aspect, but not the other. How can you be sure whether Lin Dong is Innate or Postnatal?"
Chu Ge was taken aback. Could it be that he couldn’t even recognize if someone was Innate or Postnatal?
Plus, he was the one who had opened Lin Dong’s meridians.
Seeing the confusion in Chu Ge’s mind, Uncle Jian shook his head gently, "Lin Dong’s physique is very special. Although you opened his governor and conception vessels, they were naturally full of spiritual essence but wereter sealed by someone postnatally. So when you unblocked them for him, his body endured excruciating pain, but due to his unique physique, half of that pain—which would be unbearable for the average person—was mitigated."
Uncle Jian’s exnation left Chu Ge somewhat perplexed, and he looked at Uncle Jian, puzzled, "Are you saying that Lin Dong is Innate?"
