As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi didn’t forget to pull Gao Yang down with him. “Gao Yang, you’ll go too.”
Gao Yang: “…”
???
Therefore, when Jian Ai and Si Yuehan returned to the martial arts school in the afternoon, there were four people.
However, as soon as they entered the front yard of the martial arts school, their surroundings were silent.
Lin Yi asked curiously, “Why isn’t anyone here?”
“They should be in the backyard,” Jian Ai said as she walked towards the backyard. The others quickly followed.
As soon as they passed through the front hall, Yang Jie’s voice could be heard faintly. However, Jian Ai immediately frowned because her master’s tone sounded like he was angry.
“Junior Sister, Junior Brother!”
A voice called out. Jian Ai looked up and saw a few of her senior brothers and her sister leaning against the door frame of the main hall, secretly listening from the corner of the wall.
Ning Zexuan quickly gestured at Jian Ai to keep quiet.
Jian Ai was puzzled, while Lin Yi and Gao Yang were even more confused. They didn’t know what had happened.
She tiptoed over and heard Yang Jie’s voice inside.
“Since you’ve already decided, don’t put on a guilty attitude towards me! Everyone has their own ambitions, so I won’t force you to stay. However, when we come across each other in the martial arts world in the future, don’t say that you belonged to Longxing before!”
In the main hall, Yang Jie’s face flushed red. It was obvious that he was angry to a certain extent. His words were resolute, but they were mostly filled with disappointment and heartache.
Opposite him stood a tall, middle-aged man. The man’s name was Chen Shichao, and he was Yang Jie’s father’s disciple, Yang Jie’s Junior Brother.
The disciples of Longxing Martial Arts School had to call Chen Shichao Uncle-Master, and he was also a teacher at Longxing Martial Arts School.
Besides the owner, Yang Jie, he was Longxing Martial Arts School’s last martial arts master!
At that moment, Chen Shichao was standing in the middle of the main hall, listening to Yang Jie’s reprimand without moving. It was only when he heard the last sentence, ‘Don’t say that you belonged to Longxing before,’ that Chen Shichao’s expression became obvious.
He looked up at Yang Jie and said, “Senior Brother, our martial arts school doesn’t have a future anymore. Why won’t you accept reality? I have a family, a wife, and children. I just want to give them a better life. Is that wrong?”
When Yang Jie heard this, he only said coldly, “No matter how difficult the martial arts school is, I’ve never mistreated you. Besides…”
Halfway through his words, Yang Jie suddenly felt mentally and physically exhausted. In the end, he could only wave his hand helplessly. “Forget it. Go. I don’t want to say anything else, but remember, as long as I, Yang Jie, am still alive, Longxing Martial Arts School will never collapse.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Jie turned around to stop looking at Chen Shichao.
Chen Shichao’s lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but he said nothing in the end. He turned around and rushed out of the front hall.
“Uncle-Master!”
The children behind him called for him to stay. They heard what he had said outside. Since other martial arts schools have offered a higher price for Uncle-Master to be a martial arts master, he was leaving Longxing Martial Arts School.
Qi Wei held back her tears and sobbed as she looked at Chen Shichao’s back. “Uncle-Master, are you leaving?”
When Chen Shichao heard this, his back trembled. After a while, he squeezed out a bitter voice. “In the future, listen to your master. Don’t slack off!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shichao strode away, leaving a few disciples with red eyes standing on the spot.
