"Get this shameless bastard out of here, so he won't be an eyesore and spoil everyone's mood!"
An angry voice rang out, followed by a chorus of voices echoing it, all seemingly filled with righteous indignation.
In an instant, the man in black robes seemed to have incurred the wrath of the masses, attracting the guards of the Wind Flower Merchant Guild.
"Please leave, don't force us to take action."
The captain of the guards stared coldly at the man in black robes with eyes as cold as a viper, as if he would immediately cripple the man if he dared to disobey.
"A bunch of stupid and ignorant people."
Faced with the aggressive guards, the man in black robes showed no fear, but instead spoke with cold arrogance.
The black-robed man's words instantly enraged the guards, but just as they were about to attack, an old man's laughter rang out.
"Hehe, I know this little fellow. Let him in."
The man in black robes recognized the aged voice vaguely and turned to look. He then smelled a fragrant breeze and saw an old man and a young boy. They were the grandfather and grandson he had met at the foot of Qingyun Peak.
"Little fellow?" Zhang Yun's eyes flashed. He was dressed in a black robe, which concealed most of his face. The silver-haired old man recognized him even before he arrived.
It must be said that this old man's background and strength are indeed extraordinary.
"Mr. Lin, what brings you here? Please come inside."
Upon seeing the old man appear, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes hurriedly came out and bowed respectfully to him. He seemed to be a manager in the Feng Hua Chamber of Commerce.
This made Zhang Yunjian frown slightly. Judging from the current situation, it seemed that this steward had been observing any changes in the front hall.
However, before Elder Lin appeared, it seemed that no one had been able to provoke him to show up in person, which was quite a great honor.
"It seems we really have been underestimated."
Zhang Yun touched his nose, not really caring.
The Cloud Sky Continent is a world where strength reigns supreme and the weak are prey to the strong. It is understandable that even disguised as a person would not be taken seriously.
Fortunately, there was someone who recognized its value.
"Mr. Lin, may I ask who this gentleman is?"
The middle-aged man in fine clothes had a smile in his eyes, but there was also an unusual glint in them.
If the man in black robes is truly Elder Lin's friend, then it is indeed his fault.
"Yes, this is a young man I have high hopes for."
Lin Dong nodded slightly and smiled, his tone full of undisguised admiration.
------------
Is Chapter 20 unusual?
"Ruoxue, you must not be rude to Young Master Zhang Yun again."
In a luxurious private room of the Feng Hua Chamber of Commerce, Lin Dong spoke solemnly to Lin Ruoxue.
"What is so special about that young man that makes Grandpa value him so highly?"
Lin Dong rarely showed a serious expression in front of Lin Ruoxue, which made Lin Ruoxue feel that the young man was indeed not simple.
"Ruoxue, have you ever seen a martial artist who can use a few of the most basic martial arts techniques to their fullest potential?"
Instead of answering directly, Old Lin asked a question.
"This...it seems there really isn't one." Lin Ruoxue thought for a moment and then denied it.
As the name suggests, basic martial arts are martial arts that are only for martial artists to learn before they begin to cultivate martial arts.
Generally, cultivators with some background and strength will not spend too much time and energy on a basic martial art, as it would be a waste of time and energy.
"Grandpa, are you saying that the kid has mastered several basic martial arts techniques to the extreme, to a perfect level?"
Lin Ruoxue raised an eyebrow, looking quite surprised.
It should be noted that even basic martial arts are extremely difficult to master.
Besides hard work, martial arts talent is also essential.
Therefore, Zhang Yun can indeed be called a genius.
"That kid has good martial arts talent, but he doesn't seem to have any background. Grandpa wants to win him over, train him, and make him loyal to our Lin family?"
Given Lin Ruoxue's status and position, even if Zhang Yun possessed genius-level martial arts talent, Lin Ruoxue never took him too seriously.
She had seen far too many geniuses like that.
"No, no, no, these alone are not enough to pique your grandfather's interest."
Lin Dong shook his head slightly and said, "What really piqued Grandpa's interest was the move Zhang Yun used when he killed that assassin at the seventh level of Body Refinement."
"Knowing full well that it's a basic martial art, the Sky-Splitting Palm, he can still use it to produce the effect of the Blazing Palm. Isn't that amazing?"
"This..." Lin Ruoxue's almond-shaped eyes widened, and she was speechless for a moment.
At the time, she really didn't take the white-clad boy seriously, but now, thinking back on it carefully, it seems that was indeed the case.
"Could it be that the young man has created his own martial arts techniques?"
"That's not the point. The point is, what Grandpa can't understand the most is the spiritual energy flowing in Zhang Yun's body. It seems to be outside the nine heavens and outside the five elements, yet it is extremely compatible with the outside world and there is no repulsion between them."
