Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 850: Chapter 853 You Learned Wrong

”Yes, Mr. Jiang.”

Wu Qianxun nodded solemnly, his eyes filled with expectancy as he looked at Jiang Chen, ”I hope Mr. Jiang will allow me to follow by your side.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly and turned to look at Tang Chengye, ”Head of the Tang Family, I apologize for taking a Semi-Venerable from your family.”

”Haha, Head of the Jiang Family is too kind. Elder Wu was originally our family’s retainer, and he is free to leave at any time,” Tang Chengye said with a smile, then his eyes shifted before he spoke seriously, ”However, I have an impertinent request, and I hope Head of the Jiang Family will oblige.”

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback and asked with confusion, ”Go ahead.”

”I would like Wan Ru to follow Mr. Jiang for a while, and I hope Mr. Jiang will not refuse!” Tang Chengye’s eyes revealed a hint of hopeful anticipation.

Tang Jiawei and Tang Yulin were both startled when they heard this and turned to look at Tang Chengye, their eyes filled with concern.

They had wanted Tang Yulin to marry Tang Wanru, and if Tang Wanru were to stay with Jiang Chen... They had heard that the Head of the Jiang Family had several close female companions! Could Tang Wanru become one of them?

”Head of the Tang Family, this... might be a bit inconvenient,” Jiang Chen said, glancing at Tang Yulin and tactfully refusing.

Tang Chengye’s eyes were pleading as he said, ”Head of the Jiang Family, let me be frank with you, I would like Wan Ru to become your disciple.”

”Become a disciple?!”

”Become a disciple of the Head of the Jiang Family?!”

”What... What’s going on?”

Lou Qiangqiang and the younger generation all cried out in confusion, while the heads of families and the elders had a flash of insight and inwardly praised Tang Chengye for his shrewdness.

With Jiang Chen’s strength and status out in the open, if the Tang Family could establish any close relationship with Jiang Chen, it would be of great help to the Tang Family’s development.

”Become my disciple?!” Jiang Chen was even more astonished!

Tang Chengye nodded and said softly, ”I won’t hide it anymore, I think Mr. Jiang has also noticed that Wan Ru is an Ancient Martial Artist.”

”What?!”

”She is an Ancient Martial Artist?!”

”She’s actually an Ancient Martial Artist?!”

The Dong Family, Mo Family, and Lou Family members all cried out in surprise and turned to look at Tang Wanru.

The father and son of the Tang Family’s expressions changed slightly; now, several families present knew Tang Wanru was an Ancient Martial Artist. If they all had the same intention, then the competition would be greatly intensified!

”I understand!” Jiang Chen nodded lightly, ”Head of the Tang Family wishes for me to give Miss Tang some guidance, is that it?”

”Yes!”

Tang Chengye nodded vigorously, ”Our family has never had anyone capable of practicing the Family Inherited Ancient Martial Arts, and this generation has Wan Ru and...”

As he spoke, Tang Chengye’s face suddenly showed a pained expression, then he continued with a bitter smile, ”Now only Wan Ru is left. Our family is fully committed to cultivating Wan Ru, but as none of us have experience in practicing Ancient Martial Arts, most of the time we can’t support Wan Ru. She can only grope her way through her training on her own. Therefore, I would like Wan Ru to become Mr. Jiang’s disciple, please teach Wan Ru!”

After listening to Tang Chengye, Jiang Chen turned to look at Tang Wanru.

Tang Wanru was looking at Jiang Chen, and when she saw Jiang Chen look her way, a flash of panic appeared in her eyes, her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly averted her gaze from Jiang Chen.

What a shy girl!

Jiang Chen smiled inwardly, thought briefly, and then nodded slightly, ”Alright, I accept this disciple.”

”Thank you, Mr. Jiang.” Tang Chengye was overjoyed, bowed with his fists clasped in thanks, then turned his head towards Tang Wanru, ”Wan Ru, don’t you hurry to pay your respects to your master!”

”Yes!” Tang Wanru quickly responded, got up, came to Jiang Chen’s side, knelt to the ground, and performed the grand gesture of kowtowing three times with nine bows.

”Get up!” Jiang Chen reached out to help Tang Wanru up, taking hold of Tang Wanru’s wrist.

Tang Wanru was slightly startled, her face flushed, and she looked at Tang Chengye somewhat bewildered; Tang Chengye was also stunned, watching Jiang Chen with a look of suspicion.

The Tang father and son’s expressions changed, and they stared intently at Jiang Chen, their eyes revealing a tense look.

If it were the younger generations from the other families pursuing Tang Wanru, they would still have the confidence to compete, but if Jiang Chen were to pursue Tang Wanru... they admitted to themselves they couldn’t compete.

This was a strong man with the same strength as the patriarch of their own family, and he was so young!

With what could they compete?

”Wan Ru, you have been practicing your cultivation technique incorrectly!” Jiang Chen released Tang Wanru’s wrist and spoke softly.

Everyone was taken aback, only then realizing that Jiang Chen was examining Tang Wanru’s practice condition; Tang Chengye showed a hint of shame in his eyes, while the Tang father and son secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

”Jiang... Master, I’ve been practicing on my own, so...” Tang Wanru looked at Jiang Chen with hopeful eyes.

”You don’t need to be so cautious. Since you address me as Master, of course I have to help you with the problems in your cultivation. However, I am not familiar with the cultivation technique you are practicing. You’ll need to show me the technique, so I can identify the specific issues.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, ”The uncontrollable aura in your body is not because you have just broken through to an unstable realm, but due to the incorrect practice of your cultivation technique. Ancient Martial Artists have never had issues with instability after a breakthrough!”

Jiang Chen’s words, as a master to a disciple, were certainly fine, but for a master who had just accepted a disciple and immediately asked to see the family’s inherited ancient martial arts techniques, it seemed a bit abrupt.

Jiang Chen knew about this matter, but he just spoke so frankly. That was his nature; he believed in standing straight so as not to fear a crooked shadow. There was no need to complicate a very simple matter!

Upon hearing this, everyone in the banquet hall was surprised for a moment, then all eyes shifted towards Tang Chengye.

”Of course, I have brought the technique!”

To everyone’s surprise, Tang Chengye spoke without hesitation, taking out a yellowed, thread-bound booklet from his pocket and handing it to Jiang Chen. Judging by the material of the booklet, it must have been nearly a thousand years old, indicating Tang Chengye had brought the original manuscript of the family’s cultivation technique.

”The original?!”

”Is it actually the original manuscript of the technique?”

”This...”

”Head of the Tang Family is indeed a man of true feelings!”

This action had the people from the other families exclaiming in surprise.

Jiang Chen too was surprised for a moment, then smiled with relief, reaching out to receive the technique and started to review it on the spot.

What nobody knew was that before coming today, Tang Chengye had repeatedly confirmed with Tang Wanru: if she could reach the level of Jiang Chen’s cultivation and execute their family’s secret technique, would it be as powerful as Jiang Chen’s moves?

After hearing the old patriarch of the Tang Family describe Jiang Chen’s powerful techniques, Tang Wanru clearly told Tang Chengye that even if she practiced their family’s technique to the highest level, it would not match the power of Jiang Chen’s technique.

This was the reason Tang Chengye could bring the original manuscript of the cultivation technique without any pressure. Since Jiang Chen’s technique was superior to their own, why worry about whether he would covet their family’s technique?

After quickly scanning through the Tang Family’s inherited technique, Jiang Chen slowly closed his eyes, his mind rapidly analyzing.
