I’m Still Practicing Martial Arts, But How Did My Daughter Become an Immortal? – Chapter 10

Ch10: Taking in a Little Disciple

At night, the torrential rain poured down, the candlelight in the room flickered, reflecting the simple wooden table and Lin Tian’s resolute face.

The wind of the rainy night howled past the windowsill. The aroma of Erguotou wine mingled with the crisp sound of peanuts.

“Eat slower, eat slower, look at how impatient you are eating meat, you little girl.”

The little girl held a large chicken leg, eating with relish, her face covered in grease, innocent and pure.

Lin Tian touched her small face, smiled gently, then picked up his wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, the alcohol surging up, giving rise to a heroic spirit.

He thought to himself, Nannan has been wronged as well. After all, she’s only had meat a few times in the past three years, and it was all wild game. From now on, I’ll let this girl eat her fill.

Lin Tian’s gaze passed through the rain, seeming to penetrate everything. He spoke in a deep voice, which, although not loud, echoed in the rainy night, clear and audible.

“Two brothers, why not walk through the main gate openly and honestly? You’ve been waiting by the corner for an hour, why not come in and rest, so you don’t catch a cold.”

Lin Tian’s words carried a hint of jest and provocation.

In the sound of the rain, a “crash!” suddenly came. Two figures hurriedly jumped over the wall and left.

Lu Feng and Lu Chuan were surprised. How did this person discover them? This person’s strength must far exceed theirs, otherwise, how would he know they had been waiting by the wall for more than an hour.

“He didn’t say it sooner or later, he only said it after we’d been rained on for an hour. Isn’t this clearly playing with us?”

“Let’s go! This person’s strength must be extraordinary. Report to Thirteenth Enforcer and then make a decision.”

They didn’t stop their feet, fleeing quickly from this place.

Assassin’s Rule Number Seven: If you’re exposed before you even start, don’t attack rashly. Attack will surely lead to defeat.

This was experience gained through b*oody lessons. They didn’t dare to gamble on how much strength Lin Tian had.

Lin Tian laughed heartily, his laughter echoing in the rainy night, even more heroic. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to attack, but these two people had no Hatred Value. Killing them would be a waste of his energy.

But who is Lu Ming in the column next to the bandits? When did he offend him?

His Hatred Value towards him is actually one hundred percent, as if he killed his parents. This is completely inexplicable. If I find out who it is, I won’t kill anyone else, just you.

Nannan was sleepy, her eyes drowsy, her little hands rubbing her eyes. Lin Tian wiped her hands and washed her face, then the little girl pulled him, asking him to tell a story.

“What do you want to hear? Daddy will tell you.”

“Um~ I want to hear about the monkey fighting monsters, Daddy.”

Nannan lay in Lin Tian’s arms, her eyes wide, ready to listen to Lin Tian tell a story. She was still drowsy just now, but now she’s full of energy.

“Okay, Daddy will tell you about Sun Wukong.”

“Before the chaos was divided, heaven and earth were in turmoil, vast and boundless, unseen by anyone. Since Pangu broke the primordial chaos, creation began to distinguish between the pure and the impure. Covering and carrying all living beings, they look up to the utmost benevolence, inventing all things to become good. If you want to know the creation of the universe, you must look at 《Journey to the West《…………”

After a while, Nannan in his arms fell into a deep sleep. Lin Tian put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, and sat back at the table, pouring himself a glass of wine.

At this time, another soul in Nannan’s mind opened its eyes. Chaos! It seems this old dad is quite extraordinary.

If people knew that someone had one body and two souls, that would be a rare wonder in the world. How could a person have two souls? Two souls complementing each other, it’s truly unique.

The sleeping Nannan’s body was covered in a layer of faint light. This layer of faint light could not be seen by ordinary people, and even Lin Tian could not detect it.

That faint light was slowly transforming Nannan’s body. This little one doesn’t need to practice martial arts, she can improve her strength just by sleeping. If Lin Tian knew, it might shock him greatly.

Lin Tian looked at the little one. Rather than saying he saved Nannan, it would be better to say that Nannan was also saving Lin Tian.

The next day

The rain stopped, but the sky was still dark. This oppressive atmosphere swept over people’s hearts. What if your martial arts are high? You still can’t compare to the heavens.

Lin Tian opened the door and looked at the sky.

It can’t be that there won’t be any sunny days in the future, right? This is too terrible. He does like listening to the rain, but when it rains in this county town, the streets are all muddy, which is really annoying.

Creak!

Lin Tian opened the courtyard gate. The wooden door was somewhat rickety, and he almost didn’t tear it down. Seeing this, Lin Tian was a little speechless. What’s the use of installing this gate?

As soon as he opened the door, he saw a figure lying at the entrance, soaked all over and covered in mud. Lin Tian took a closer look. Wasn’t this that little beggar? This guy wouldn’t have been rained on outside all night, right?

Lin Tian’s expression didn’t change. He placed his finger on the little beggar’s neck. There was still a faint pulse, so he could still be saved. He picked up the little beggar with one hand and placed him in the courtyard.

He transmitted a little Internal Energy to warm the little beggar’s body. The little beggar’s complexion became more and more rosy. Only then did Lin Tian stop and turn to prepare to go to the kitchen.

The little beggar opened his eyes and saw Lin Tian.

He wanted to stand up, but his body was too weak and he collapsed to the ground again. Lin Tian looked up, just about to speak, when the little beggar directly knelt down with all his strength.

He looked at Lin Tian with a determined gaze, his voice trembling: “Sir! Please take me as your disciple, I want to practice martial arts.”

“Practice martial arts? Why do you want to practice martial arts? Practicing martial arts is very expensive, do you have money? And why do you think I would take you in?”

Lin Tian’s tone was somewhat indifferent. He hasn’t even figured out how to survive in this chaotic world, is taking in a disciple a bit too arrogant?

The little beggar’s voice was tearful and weak, “I want to avenge my father, avenge my grandfather. That day, I saw you fighting the bandits, Sir, and I know you are a highly skilled martial artist…”

Bang bang bang!

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times. Lin Tian was also a little unsure. Taking in a burden… He pondered for a moment, then brought out a bowl of fish soup, left over from last night.

“Drink the fish soup. Look at your body, it’ll be ruined before you even start practicing.”

The little beggar’s face lit up with joy: “Sir is preparing to take me in?”

Lin Tian’s expression didn’t change. He looked him up and down. He was covered in mud, and his face was also black, so he couldn’t see clearly.

“I never said I would take you as a disciple.”

The little beggar instantly wilted. Lin Tian laughed when he saw his appearance.

“Wanting to practice martial arts isn’t that easy. Don’t call me ‘Sir’, it makes me sound really old. Call me Sir or Teacher in the future! Whether I take you in or not depends on your performance.”

The little beggar turned his head, his face lit up with joy. He looked at Lin Tian firmly: “I will work hard, Teacher. I will cook, wipe tables, clean the house. I’ll take care of all the chores at home in the future.”

“Alright, alright, quickly drink the soup. Go get some water and wash yourself. You’re all dirty. Don’t say you’re Lin Tian’s student when you go out.”

“Yes! Teacher.”

Lin Tian wanted to take out yesterday’s roast chicken and pork knuckle, but this little beggar was a bit weak. Abruptly giving him a lot of meat wouldn’t be saving him, it would be harming him, so he just made a bowl of the fish soup that he hadn’t finished last night.

Lin Tian found him a set of clothes. The little beggar held the fish soup and gulped it down.

Afterwards, Lin Tian started practicing his fist techniques in the courtyard. Nannan hadn’t gotten up yet, and Lin Tian didn’t plan to wake her. What’s wrong with a child sleeping in? Let her sleep.

Lin Tian’s body moved, his movements flowing smoothly. Each punch was extremely powerful, the fist techniques were wide and expansive, like a fierce tiger stepping on a mountain. The grass and trees yielded to the force of his fist wind.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of the little beggar who had just finished washing up. His eyes lit up, and he was extremely excited. Sooner or later, I will become a person like Teacher.

Lin Tian practiced several sets of Great Compassion Fist, then stopped his movements, retracted his stance, and looked towards the little beggar. This look startled him.

Lin Tian was somewhat surprised: “You actually…”
