Ch 68: Where’s The Hidden Heaven Pouch??

Lin Che returned to his mansion.

At this time, throughout the entire mansion, all the servants were spirited and their faces shone with an indescribable pride.

“Master is back!”

“Marquis—Marquis has returned to the mansion!”

Xiao Qing, along with the other servants, smiled and welcomed Lin Che’s return to the mansion. Even Dazhuang, leaning on his cane, was foolishly shouting, “Marquis.”

In such a short time, their own Baron Jing’an had become Champion Marquis.

It was certainly a joyous occasion.

“Marquis, Your Majesty’s decree has arrived. The Marquis Mansion is in the Inner City; we have all gone to see it, and it is very large and luxurious. When shall we move?”

Lin Che waved his hand: “No need to wait, let’s move today. I leave this matter to you, make sure it’s done well.”

Xiao Qing, who was very clever, asked, “Marquis, are you going out again?”

“Yes. Go prepare quickly, I need to bathe. I’ll be going out soon.”

The moving seemed important, but it was definitely not as important as retrieving the Hidden Heaven Pouch.

After washing and dressing.

He changed into clean clothes, took some of the rewards from Your Majesty, called two servants to drive the carriage, and headed straight for Duke Wei Guo’s Mansion.

Arriving at Duke Wei Guo’s Mansion, the servants at the gate recognized Lin Che.

They directly led Lin Che inside, and at the same time loudly announced:

“Champion Marquis has arrived.”

Wen Hong was currently practicing martial arts at the training grounds. Hearing the servant’s report, he didn’t even change out of his training clothes, but strode out.

“Hahaha. Little Lin Che, why are you here at Old Man’s place instead of welcoming visitors at your Marquis Mansion? Becoming Champion Marquis, you should be very busy.”

Lin Che didn’t hesitate and immediately flattered him:

“Old General, Champion Marquis or not, I will always be Little Lin Che in your eyes. I don’t care about other visitors, but my success today is entirely thanks to your help, Old General.”

“As the saying goes, one remembers the well from which one drank. Having become Champion Marquis, naturally, I must come to see you first. If the Empress hadn’t kept me in the Palace last night, I would have come last night. Haha!”

Wen Hong laughed heartily, his voice like a bell, and patted Lin Che’s shoulder with a large hand:

“Good boy. You’re even using the ‘remember the well from which one drank’ line on Old Man—Eh? In just one day, your cultivation level has improved again? Good, come, let’s spar.”

Lin Che didn’t stand on ceremony and immediately began rolling up his sleeves, saying, “Yes. To receive guidance from the Old General is something I desire. But you must show mercy.”

“Jade is not refined without carving—in martial arts, don’t be afraid of being beaten.”

The two quickly arrived at the training grounds in the mansion.

Wen Hong stood there, arms folded across his chest, his presence instantly spreading, like a mountain peak standing there.

His training clothes were sleeveless, revealing his two arms.

The muscles on his arms were incredibly prominent, the lines undulating, like two dragons.

Lin Che suddenly had an illusion, as if even if the sky fell, Wen Hong could hold it up with these two hands.

“Old General, when I use my full power, I might look a bit ugly. Don’t mind it.” Lin Che gave Wen Hong a heads-up.

Wen Hong already knew: “Cultivating the Supreme Yang Cultivation Technique, the body will naturally change. Just use your full strength.”

Roar!!

Lin Che didn’t hold back, and patted the Beast Subduing Bracelet on his wrist.

The Beast Subduing Bracelet hummed, no longer suppressing the aura of his body; the icy aura also receded, no longer suppressing the boiling blood in his body.

Body Tempering Technique, activate!!

Crackle crackle!

Lin Che’s figure instantly swelled, reaching 2.3 meters, his muscles exploding, one by one.

His Internal Energy also burst forth, forming a layer of Internal Energy around his body, enveloping him.

Rip rip!!

Lin Che’s shoes were torn apart.

“Old General, I’ve given myself a nickname—Devil Muscle Man!!”

Lin Che roared, and pounced forward.

He threw a punch at Wen Hong.

Wen Hong was originally two meters tall, but now he was a full head shorter than Lin Che.

Bang—

Wen Hong didn’t dodge, and struck out with a palm, intercepting Lin Che’s punch.

A terrifying force surged from the point of impact, frightening the servants nearby, causing their eyes to widen.

“Not bad. Again!!”

Bang bang bang!

Lin Che attacked frantically.

Wen Hong continuously parried with both hands, without counterattacking.

After more than a hundred punches, Wen Hong finally completely understood Lin Che’s details.

“Alright!”

Wen Hong suddenly shouted, took a sudden step forward, and pressed down with his hand.

He firmly pinned Lin Che to the spot.

“Old General, I’m no match for you at all!” Lin Che wiped the sweat from his forehead and took two steps back to bow.

Wen Hong chuckled:

“Little Lin Che, the Empress’s bestowal of the title of Champion Marquis was not a moment of whim. She must have also seen how quickly your cultivation level has improved, and she secretly hopes that in the near future, you will become a truly worthy Champion Marquis.”

“The Empress also saw it?” Lin Che was suspicious.

“Of course. Before you appeared, our Empress was a cultivation genius unseen in Daqian for a hundred years. Her cultivation of the 《Emperor’s True Scripture》 has reached the point of perfection. Do you think she was able to ascend to the throne just because a dozen princes died?”

Wen Hong stopped there, and watching Lin Che slowly return to normal, he sighed:

“One, courage; two, strength; three, cultivation; four, skill!”

“You are now focusing on cultivation, which is very good. At your stage, I was indeed not as good as you. Your foundation is solid, far exceeding my expectations.”

“Now, you should properly cultivate some Martial Skills. Like these punches and kicks, you are now using only the purest brute force. If you can learn martial skills, then you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The power you unleash will be several times stronger than it is now…”

Lin Che listened patiently to Wen Hong’s explanations and guidance.

These directions for cultivation were what he needed most.

After listening for a long time, Lin Che suddenly became enlightened, and he asked the question he was most concerned about:

“Old General, my cultivation of the Cultivation Technique has reached the ninth level. But why is it still in the ‘Perfection’ stage and not ‘Great Perfection’?”

“Hahaha. Isn’t that simple? Cultivation is not just cultivation, it also requires the assistance of Heaven-grade Treasures. Your physique also needs Heaven-grade Treasures. With your current physique, try consuming Tiger King’s Blood, it should be helpful.”

They talked for a while longer.

Not far away, a fiery red figure bounced and hopped back.

“Lin Che, it’s rumored that you’re going to break off your engagement. Is it true? Tell me quickly.”

Hearing this voice, one knew it was the double A queen Wen Wu yang.

Her face was full of coquettish charm, her bright eyes wide open, filled with an expression of “eating melons.”

“Miss Wu yang, you’re well-informed. I do want to break off the engagement. But the Empress hasn’t agreed yet.” Lin Che was anxious, but he didn’t show it.

“Tsk tsk tsk. That’s the Miss of the Mohist School. You’re so foolish, if you married Mo Zhaoxue, you wouldn’t have to worry about the rest of your life. Their family has a lot of money.”

Wen Wu yang shook her head, looking as if she felt sorry for Lin Che.

“Right, people outside also say that you have someone you like. Who is it? There’s also news that you actually have two children, twins. You’ve already become a father. Is it Princess Yunmeng of Yan Yun Kingdom?”

Lin Che widened his eyes: “Who’s spreading these rumors, it’s not true.”

“Really not? But Princess Yunmeng just said she wants to have you as her Prince Consort. And then you want to break off your engagement with Mo Zhaoxue. Aren’t you doing this for Princess Yunmeng? Let me tell you, you have to tell me the truth, if you dare to lie to me, I, I’ll whip your butt with my little whip, believe it or not??”

This little pepper.

Always wanting to whip me with her little whip?

In the future, I’ll whip you hard too!

“Miss Wu yang, it’s really not true.”

Lin Che explained with great difficulty, finally making it clear.

Then, he pretended to casually remember: “Right, where are the two young birds I asked you to keep for me?”

“Hehe, they’re raised in my courtyard. I’ll take you there.” Wen Wu yang giggled, hands behind her back, hopping and skipping ahead to lead the way.

Lin Che quickly bowed to Wen Hong: “Old General, I’ll go take a look.”

“Good. Haha, go, go.” Wen Hong looked happy, laughing heartily at the two of them.

Lin Che followed Wen Wu yang, and soon arrived at the backyard of Duke Wei Guo’s Mansion.

The bird’s nest was hanging on a small tree.

“Thank you for taking care of them.”

Lin Che said, and immediately took down the bird’s nest.

The two young birds chirped, opening their mouths as if waiting to be fed.

Seeing that Wen Wu yang hadn’t followed, Lin Che reached in, pretending to tease the birds, but quickly rummaged through the dry grass inside.

After searching, he found nothing.

The Hidden Heaven Pouch??

Where is it?

Lin Che’s body froze, he simply took out the two young birds, almost tearing apart the bird’s nest, but the Hidden Heaven Pouch was gone.

“Wu yang, you…who else touched my bird’s nest?”

Wen Wu yang, arms folded across her chest, smiled sweetly, leaning against the door frame, suddenly reached out and took out something, waving it back and forth in front of him.

“What you’re looking for, is this it?”
