Chapter 546: 546


"Young Ma, stop messing around . " Qin Jin waved his arm and smiled . "Recovering my Martial Art? Hehe, my Martial Art had been crippled for over fifty years . How am I to recover it now? This pile of old bones is bound to be buried soon enough . I have no hope in recovering anything . "

Ma Kun smiled . "I don't know about anyone else, but Centurion Chu is a talented youth . He always has some astonishing tricks up his sleeves . There might be a way for him to help you . "

"For real?" Qin Jin frowned .

Ma Kun added, "I wouldn't believe it if it was anyone else, but since it was Centurion Chu who said so himself, I believe him completely . Think about it, Centurion Chu went from a defenseless ordinary man to a Grandmaster in two years . How amazing is that!"

"Mm, it seems that we've met our savior . " Qin Jin grinned .

Even then, the man was doubtful .

He had been alive for almost a lifetime . He knew when he saw Dong Qifei and the other's expressions that Ma Kun was giving Centurion Chu a hard time .

They had just arrived and were defenseless . They really did not want to get involved in the battle between the centurion and second in command . That would just be asking for trouble themselves .

"It's a shame for Young Ning, though . " He pointed at Ning Jiyuan before shaking his head and sighing . "However, there's no rush . Now that he has returned, all he needs to do is to begin his cultivation from the beginning!"

Ning Jiyuan patted his chest and smiled . "Old Qin, don't worry . I definitely will get my Martial Art back!"

"We old men would be relieved to see you getting your Martial Art back," Qin Jin said with a smile .

Ma Kun knew that the wise Qin Jin had seen right through his plans . He was not the least bit bothered by the realization, though . He smiled and introduced Dong Qifei and the other three men to them instead .

Everyone soon found a seat by the stone table .

Dong Qifei asked about their experience and their lives all these years in the Tempest Temple . He wondered whether they have suffered .

Qin Jin chuckled . "We are now losers since we've lost our Martial Art . The Tempest Temple wouldn't do anything to us but send us to deep within the mountains to grow crops . We couldn't escape even if we wanted to . We could only carry on with our lives there . I'm an expert in growing crops now and can't do anything else anymore . "

Dong Qifei asked curiously, "Old Qin never tried to cultivate again?"

"There's no point," answered Qin Jin . "I tried my best to cultivate in the beginning and hoped to be able to escape . However, they knew right away when I had just cultivated back my inner energy, and they crippled it once again . We were only allowed to be ordinary men now . I eventually gave in . "

"This group of monks is so cruel!" Dong Qifei remarked harshly .

Qin Jin shook his head . "It would be the same for anyone else . The Secret Guardians Hall kills all the spies they capture right away . It was kind enough for them to let us live . They definitely did exercised the values of a monk . "


Chu Li suddenly appeared as the rest were conversing . All of them stood to greet him .

Chu Li expressionlessly swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a low voice, "Dong Qifei, Yang Zongwen, Big Ning, Second Ning, you guys go and arrange the accommodation . Old Qin, let's have chat privately . "

"Yes!" All of them dispersed to execute their tasks enthusiastically .

Ma Kun also left and returned to his house .

Chu Li brought Qin Jin to the main hall . A maid soon brought in tea before excusing herself silently .

Chu Li picked up his cup and gestured for the old man to do the same .

Qin Jin picked up his cup as well .

The two of them took a light sip of their tea and placed the cups down slowly .

The house was so quiet that it was possible to hear the sound of a needle dropping to the floor .

Chu Li took a deep breath before starting, "Old Qin, I didn't request for you from the commander just to let you waste your days away . It's to make use of you . "

Qin Jin bowed slightly . "Centurion, I'm but a useless man . I'm afraid . . . "

"I'll help you recover your Martial Art . You're the elites of the Secret Guardians Hall and are rich in experience," Chu Li interrupted . "Moreover, you all are Grandmasters who would be of great help to us in the Mei Er Courtyard . Please don't humble yourselves unduly . "

Qin Jin smiled bitterly . "Yes . I'll do my best to fulfill any orders the centurion has for me!"

Chu Li nodded . "However, there's one thing you must understand . Not only am I the centurion of the Secret Guardians Hall, but I'm also the head chief of the Imperial Residence of King An and the chief of the High Duke's Public House . I would require your assistance in other matters as well . "

"Yes," Qin Jin answered . "We'll only listen to your orders . "

He felt like he was forced to say what he just did .

Although they had suffered quite a bit for the Secret Guardians Hall, their failure as spies had vilified them . They did not return with any meritorious service gained . Their sufferings were nothing compared to those secret guardians who had lost their lives,

More importantly, everyone would be wary of their loyalty .

Hence, even the commander would not dare use them . They could only be useless men to them . Their situation here was no different from what they had in the Tempest Temple .

They could not blame the Secrest Guardians Hall for this because the same consequences would have been bestowed on literally anyone else .

If Chu Li wanted to use them, then they did not have any other choice but to pledge their loyalty to him .

After many years of oppression, the passion in their hearts was burning more intense than ever . Their longing for fame and fortune did not fade but grew much more prominent than it ever was . They definitely would not be content to live an ordinary life and die of old age . That was why they would still be willing to take on the bet and follow Chu Li down his darkened path even when he was an incredibly unpredictable man .

Chu Li's lips tugged into a wide smile . "Great, Old Qin is wise! I'll recover your Martial Art now!"

He took out a box of needles from his sleeve after he said that .

He pierced Qin Jin with the needles and locked him in place without waiting for him to speak .

After he was done, Chu Li picked up a book and flipped through it slowly .

An hour later, Chu Li placed the book down and took out a porcelain bottle . He took a white pill out and stuffed it into Qin Jin's mouth .

Qin Jin widened his eyes and felt his entire body tingle as if a million ants were crawling on his skin .

Chu Li gestured with a flourish of his hand all of a sudden and the needles flew back into the box .

"Bang!" Qin Jin's clothes bulged up like a balloon while his hair began fluttering in the air .

"Hehe . . . " Qin Jin was overjoyed and could not help but laugh out loud . His booming laughter made the whole house quivered, and a cloud of dust descended lightly over them .

The power he had pined for so long had returned to him . He was a Grandmaster once again . He felt like he was in a dream that he never dared to entertain!

Chu Li sat calmly on a chair and smiled . "Congrats . "

Qin Jin stopped laughing and gave a fist salute . He said, "Thank you, centurion . "

Chu Li waved a hand dismissively . "It's a fair trade . There's no need for you to thank me . Have the next one come in . "

"Yes!" Qin Jin answered .

He was awestruck by this quiet and distant young man standing before him .

This sort of technique could not be performed by just anybody . He was so young, yet his cultivation level was unfathomable . He really was blessed and definitely worth his loyalty .

Chu Li let out a small smile as he watched Qin Jin leave .

With this group of experienced masters, he would have ample power and resources by his side . It would be much more convenient to proceed with his future operations . He need not attend to every matter personally from here on out .

This process continued on until late at night . By the time Chu Li left Mei Er Courtyard, the nine men had completely recovered their Martial Art .

This night was nothing out of the ordinary for the rest of the people, but it was a day of rebirth for them .

When Chu Li returned to the Imperial Residence of King An, Chief Zhu ran out to welcome him . He handed over an invitation with both hands . "Head Chief, there's an invitation for you . "

Chu Li took it from him . "Are there any guests here today?"

"Miss Lu had come over to see the princess consort," reported Chief Zhu .

Chu Li paused for a moment before nodding . He opened the invitation and saw that it was from Han Fei . He wanted to celebrate his new home and his success in taking in Bi Lan as a concubine .

Chu Li smiled and put away the invitation . Then, he returned to the Tianshu Courtyard .
