After leaving Mount Hua, Lin Yu rode his horse and rushed towards Luoyang City. In the original novel, Ren Woxing was imprisoned by Invincible East in the Plum Village Dungeon next to West Lake, guarded by his four confidants. These four people, the eldest was Huang Zhonggong, the second was Hei Heizi, the third was Bald Brush Elder, and the fourth was Dan Qingsheng. They were known as the Four Friends of Jiangnan. They had guarded the West Lake Plum Blossom Village for twelve years and devoted themselves to studying zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. They had already reached the point of obsession. That was why in the original novel, Xiang Wentian managed to fool them with four treasures.
However, Lin Yu only had the score of " Smiling Proud in the Pugilistic World ", which was given to him by Qu Yang. As for the other three items, they were probably in the hands of Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying. Therefore, Lin Yu went to Luoyang first and thought of a way to get these three things.
.......
When they arrived at Luoyang City, the sky had already darkened. Lin Yu led his horse and strolled around the city, thinking about whether he should find an inn to stay in first and ask about the location of Green Bamboo Alley tomorrow. Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Young hero Lin, why are you here?”
This voice was filled with surprise and seemed familiar. Lin Yu turned around and saw a man in his forties with a pale face and no beard. Lin Yu found it familiar. After carefully identifying it for a while, he suddenly realized,"So it's Brother Lin. Why are you in Luoyang?”
It turned out that this person was Lin Pingzhi's father, Lin Zhennan.
When Lin Zhennan heard this, he smiled bitterly," Young hero Lin, you are really forgetful. Have you forgotten that when you brought Ping Zhi to Mount Hua, we went to Ping Zhi's grandfather's house?" With the help of their family, I opened another escort agency in Luoyang. I just happened to be back today.”
" I see. I'm really sorry, Brother Lin. I was cultivating in seclusion on Mount Hua a few days ago, so..." Lin Yu scratched his head and explained in embarrassment.
"It's fine, I received a letter from Ping Zhi a few days ago, saying that he has become your disciple. Since that's the case, please follow me back to the Wang Family so that our family can properly thank you.”Lin Zhennan held Lin Yu's hand and said gratefully.
" Haha, how can I?" Lin Yu declined, but there was not a trace of embarrassment on his face.
.......
The two of them arrived at the entrance of the manor. The Golden Saber Wang Clan was indeed a well-known clan in Luoyang. The house was tall, and the door was painted red. There were two large copper rings on the door, which were polished to a crystal bright color. Eight strong men waited outside the door with their hands hanging down. It was many times more imposing than Liu Zhengfeng's manor. Seeing Lin Zhennan walk to the door, one of the burly men ran over with a smile. He took the horse from the two of them and said with a smile,"Young master, you're back. This is?”
"Quickly report that Young Hero Lin from Huashan Sect has arrived.”Lin Zhennan didn't waste any time talking to him and immediately said," Young hero Lin, follow me." After saying that, he called Lin Yu and entered the Imperial Residence.
Just as the two of them arrived at the main hall, they saw an old man in his seventies walking out with a group of people. It was Wang Yuanba himself.
When he got closer, he saw Wang Yuanba's face was glowing. A long white beard floated in front of his chest. He was in high spirits. He was playing with two golden balls the size of goose eggs in his left hand. It was common for people in the martial arts world to play with iron balls, but they were all made of fine iron or pure steel. Wang Yuanba was holding two glistening golden balls, which were more than twice as heavy as iron balls. Moreover, they were very luxurious.
When Wang Yuanba saw Lin Zhennan and Lin Yu, he laughed and walked over,"This must be the young hero Lin who defeated Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect and saved my son-in-law's family."”As she spoke, she held Lin Yu's right hand and shook it repeatedly. Her love for him was very sincere.
"Junior Lin Yu greets Old Master Wang.”Lin Yu saw that Wang Yuanba was still so forthright despite his age. He couldn't help but have a good impression of him and bowed.
"Sigh, young hero Lin, you've really made this old man lose his mind. You've saved my daughter and son-in-law, and you're also the master of my grandson Ping Zhi. Our Wang family is extremely grateful to you, please accept this old man's bow.”Wang Yuanba bowed and was about to kowtow.
Lin Yu hurried forward and held him with both hands. He said humbly,"Old Master, you can't do that. I only saw that Yu Canghai was overbearing and was dissatisfied, so I helped him. How can I accept your big bow?”
Wang Yuanba felt a strong force holding him up and he couldn't move. He was surprised at how strong Young Master Lin's Internal Strength was and asked curiously,""Young hero Lin, who is your master?”
"My master is Feng Qingyang."
"So you're Elder Feng's disciple. I'm sorry for being disrespectful. No wonder you have such deep internal energy at such a young age. Come, come, come. Please follow me to the hall to rest.”Wang Yuanba's smile grew wider when he heard Lin Yu's name. He pulled Lin Yu into the hall enthusiastically.
Seeing Wang Yuanba's enthusiastic face, Lin Yu couldn't reject him. He followed him into the hall and was finally led to the main seat! Lin Yu wanted to decline, but Wang Yuanba's old face stiffened." Young hero, you've done a great favor to our Wang Clan, and you're Ping Zhi's master. We're family now, but you're not even willing to sit down. Are you looking down on our Wang Clan?"”
Lin Yu sat down with a bitter smile.
"Young hero Lin, let me introduce you. These are my sons, Bo Fen and Zhong Qiang. These are Ping Zhi's two cousins, Jia Ju and Jia Jun.”Wang Yuanba pointed at the people behind him and introduced them to Lin Yu.
"Greetings, young hero Lin." The few of them hurriedly bowed to Lin Yu, who also cupped his hands in return.
After everyone sat down, Wang Yuanba asked curiously," Young hero Lin, what is the matter with you in Luoyang? My Wang family is quite familiar with Luoyang. If you need anything, just let me know."”
"This time, I'm here to find someone.”
"Oh? I wonder who could have startled Young Hero Lin.”Wang Yuanba asked.
Lin Yu was a little hesitant, but he thought that the Wang family was also considered a local tyrant in Luoyang. With their help, it was much better than looking for it alone, so he said,"This person is called Green Bamboo Elder. It is said that he lives in Green Bamboo Alley in Luoyang City.”
" It's him," Wang Bofen said in surprise.
"Bofen, you know this person? Hurry up and tell young hero Lin." Wang Yuanba said.
" Yes," Wang Bofen replied and began to introduce him to everyone." That Green Bamboo Weng is a bamboo craftsman. He makes a living by weaving bamboo baskets and making bamboo mats. However, he plays the zither well, blows the flute well, and knows how to draw bamboo. Many people pay to buy his paintings. He is considered an old craftsman who is artsy. Therefore, the local people value him a little. However, he is a little crazy and not very close.”
" I see." Wang Yuanba frowned and turned to a man standing beside him."Advisor Yi, can I trouble you to send someone to pick up this Green Bamboo Elder in a sedan chair?”
Advisor Yi said," This old man has a strange temper. If someone asks him for help, if he doesn't want to ask, even if he kowtows, he won't care. But if he wants to interfere, he can't be pushed away."”
" If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Advisor Yi to tell me where this person lives. I'll go and see him personally," Lin Yu said.
" Young hero Lin, how can we do that? It's getting late today. Please stay in my Wang Family. I'll ask Advisor Yi to bring you there tomorrow," Wang Yuanba suggested.
" Thank you, Old Man Wang," Lin Yu said gratefully.
"You're welcome. Young hero, if you don't treat us well, people will laugh at us for not having manners.”Wang Yuanba said politely. He turned to Advisor Yi and instructed,"Advisor Yi, arrange a place for Young Master Lin.”
" Yes." Advisor Yi bowed and turned to leave.
After Private Advisor Yi left, Wang Yuanba stood up and pulled Lin Yu to his side,""Young hero Lin, you haven't had dinner yet, right? I've already instructed the kitchen to prepare a banquet to welcome you.”
After being pulled by Wang Yuanba, Lin Yu could only follow him to the dining hall with a bitter smile. The Wang family members, Lin Zhennan and his wife followed closely behind.
......
"Come, come, young hero Lin, let's go.”At the dining table, Wang Yuanba pulled Lin Yu to his side and drank bowl after bowl with Lin Yu. Everyone from the Wang family and Lin Zhennan also warmly greeted Lin Yu. They took turns to toast Lin Yu.
For a moment, they were toasting each other. Lin Yu couldn't remember how many bowls of wine he had drunk. He really felt that he couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly remembered the drinking contest with Qiao Feng at the Pines and Cranes Pavilion. Taking advantage of the fact that the Wang family was not paying attention, Lin Yu reached under the table with his left hand and slowly forced the wine in his stomach to his arm before flowing out through his fingers. After a while, Lin Yu felt refreshed. In his joy, he continued to pick up the wine bowl and fight with the Wang family.
In the end, the Wang brothers and Lin Zhennan all fell to the ground, leaving Lin Yu and Old Man Wang to continue drinking. The two of them drank until the sky turned dark. Old Man Wang was so happy that he no longer called Lin Yu "Young Hero Lin" but "Brother Lin". Lin Yu could only smile bitterly.
"Brother Lin, come, let's go.”Wang Yuanba's eyes drifted as he raised his wine bowl and downed Lin Yu. In the end, he fell asleep on the table.
Wiping away his cold sweat, Lin Yu called for the servants to carry the Wang family back. He also returned to his residence and fell asleep.
