"Xiao Yu, have you resolved this here?"
When Uncle Nine brought Wen Cai Qiu Sheng back to the cemetery, he only saw Lin Yu sitting on the altar and Master Ren resting to the side. He didn't see Goku, so Uncle Nine asked him about it.
"Don't worry, those little zombies are no match for Grand Master Ren, they're easy to handle~" Lin Yu waved his hand and said easily.
"Yes, yes, Nephew Lin is truly amazing. Those zombies were wiped out by Nephew Lin's few talismans as soon as they crawled out of the ground. The younger generation is indeed formidable!"
Although he heard his father being used as a metaphor, Ren Fa didn't dare to show any anger and even flattered Lin Yu obsequiously.
"Now that everything has been resolved, Master Ren, let's head back home."
Seeing that the matter was resolved, Uncle Nine also headed home.
"Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine, my father's grave..."
Upon hearing this, Ren Fa quickly grabbed Uncle Nine. Although the matter was resolved, Ren Fa still felt guilty when he saw the menacing locust tree behind him.
Besides, Uncle Nine said at the beginning that this place had been turned into a Ghost-Nurturing Acupoint, and he was scared too. There were no ghosts today, but who could guarantee that other ghosts wouldn't move in in the future?
"Ren Fa, don't worry. Without that feng shui master interfering, your locust tree is actually a good omen. There's a saying: 'A locust tree growing on a grave brings wealth and prosperity.'"
"I'll come tomorrow to clear the evil energy from the tomb. Given the location of this burial site and the presence of this locust tree, it won't cause any problems; in fact, it'll be a good thing. So don't worry."
Uncle Nine looked back at the cemetery, calculated it again with his fingers, and found that the feng shui of the cemetery had actually improved.
"Since Uncle Nine says so, then I'm relieved. Let's head back home then, haha."
Upon hearing that this was in his best interest, Ren Fa, being a businessman, instantly became greedy and stopped hesitating, happily walking ahead.
After seeing Ren Fa, Uncle Nine finally had a chance to ask Lin Yu, "Where is Fellow Daoist Sun? Why can't I see him?"
"Goku, he's sleepy, so I let him go back to sleep first."
Lin Yu's lips twitched whenever Goku was mentioned. He hadn't noticed it when watching the anime, but seeing him in real life made him realize the sheer absurdity of his own brain being punched.
I told him he was a zombie and to be careful not to get caught, or he'd turn into one too.
When Goku heard how novel this little gadget was, his eyes lit up instantly, and he rushed forward, almost kissing it.
Only Goku wouldn't mind getting that close to observe such a disgusting thing.
Fortunately, he was strong and quick-witted, and managed to dodge the bite just in time.
And so, Goku ended up playing a game of catching chicks with the zombies.
Lin Yu watched Goku fiddling around speechlessly, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so he just used a few talismans to chop them up.
8:00 AM the next morning
"Drink! Hah!..."
"Ha~"
Lin Yu yawned and pushed open the door to come out.
He was getting a rare good night's sleep today, but was woken up by the noise from the livestock in the yard.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw three burly men shirtless, lifting weights—no, lifting stones.
"Wow! The sun's risen in the west! My two senior brothers are actually up early to practice their skills!"
As Lin Yu spoke, he looked up at the sun with an incredulous expression.
"Junior brother, what are you saying? Even a salted fish can turn over." Hearing Lin Yu's teasing, Qiu Sheng put down the stone lock in his hand and wiped the sweat from his face with the towel draped around his neck.
"Wen Cai Brother Wencai, Senior Brother Qiu Sheng has turned his life around, but what about you?" Lin Yu saw that Qiu Sheng really wanted to train, but what about Wen Cai? Had he changed his ways too?
"Hehe, junior brother, I just saw them all exercising, and I couldn't sleep alone, so I joined in," Wen Cai replied with a silly grin.
"Okay, good luck to you guys!"
Lin Yu could only silently support the group as they resumed their training.
However, he could also tell that of the two, Qiu Sheng was the one practicing the most diligently.
Wen Cai simply noticed that his usual playmate, who used to slack off with him, had suddenly become a playmate.
That momentary sense of crisis compelled him to involuntarily open the book.
However, this kind of unmotivated approach to the exam will only make Wen Cai strive for a short time. After a few days, he may be able to adjust his mindset and start to look at Qiu Sheng's exam with a calm and peaceful attitude.
"Good job, Goku! Take them and roll them up, roll them up until they're dead!"
Although Lin Yu knew this, he didn't say anything. It's always good to get some exercise. The worst kind of person is the kind who's completely oblivious to anything else and doesn't know how to move at all; those kinds of people are truly hopeless.
With Goku, this cultivation fanatic, around, he has set a leading example.
"Good luck to you guys, I'm going to have morning tea with my master now, bye-bye~"
Lin Yu walked away with his hands behind his back and his head swaying.
"Do you think we should get our junior to train with us?"
Wen Cai Lin Yu's relaxed demeanor, Wen Cai felt uneasy all over.
"Are you crazy? Your junior brother is only eight years old! You're letting him carry the stone weights!"
Qiu Sheng also disapproved of Lin Yu's arrogance, but there was nothing he could do; Lin Yu had the right to be arrogant.
At such a young age, and after only a short time in the field, he has already reached a level that I, who have been learning since I started, have found difficult to achieve.
Not only can he deal with zombies on his own, but he can also get the founder to personally come and pass on his skills.
You really can't compare people, Qiu Sheng silently turned this into motivation, working even harder at weightlifting.
He also observed how Goku cultivated from time to time, trying his best to imitate Goku.
Wen Cai, however, lacked that insight and didn't think things through at all. He simply observed how his friend practiced and then practiced the same way.
Efficiency plummeted instantly.
"Why is Master so happy today?"
As soon as Lin Yu entered the room, he saw his master teasing the birds, clearly in a very good mood.
"Really? I'm just like usual," Uncle Nine merely glanced at Lin Yu before continuing to play with the little bird.
"Your bird has been hanging there for ages without you even glancing at it. If I didn't feed it for you, it would probably starve to death without you even knowing. You only take it out to tease it when you're in a good mood." Seeing his master's stubborn expression, Lin Yu wanted to tease him a little.
"Ahem, ever since you said Goku came to the Yizhuang, those two good-for-nothings have really changed a lot. I was woken up early this morning by the sound of them exercising."
Although Uncle Nine said he was woken up, it was clear he had no resentment at all; on the contrary, he wished he could be like this every day.
"Indeed, this is called the 'leader effect.' With Goku taking the lead, the other disciples will follow suit."
"However, they themselves must also have the desire to become stronger; otherwise, even with a leader, they won't take any action."
Lin Yu noticed his master's eyes flicker slightly and knew he was up to no good, so he quickly tried to prepare himself.
"That's true, but the 'sheep effect' is indeed quite effective." Uncle Nine nodded in agreement.
