Chapter 1172 Saying Farewell to the Strange Old Man (1)
Elder George explained: “Furthermore, the Hidden Blade Clan is a special existence amongst the reclusive families. They do not generally appear and they’re not motivated by money. Instead, they live their lives as ordinary individuals. The only thing different about them is that their martial arts are pa.s.sed down through the generations.”
By saying that, it was somewhat easy to understand why A Yong was willing to work for Mu Ruohai. After all, there were times when martial arts and fighting could not solve a problem.
However, it was incredibly difficult to understand Zhai Yunsheng’s enormous change in this half a month.
Very few people could win against someone from the Hidden Blade Clan.
Anna asked Elder George: “Would this have something to do with the Xie family?”
Elder George did that have an immediate judgment on this question. Instead, he replied: “Honestly, I don’t know that much about the Xie family. However, I don’t think it’s related to that. The Xie family isn’t known for their martial arts.”
“Then do you know who is capable of winning against the martial arts of the Hidden Blade Clan?” Anna asked out of curiosity.
Elder George thought about it for a moment before he replied: “Well, around thirty years ago, there was a man who was incredible at martial arts. He swept through all the powerful families and everyone was scared of him. Someone from our family who lived in the East would always mention this person at family meetings.”
However, Elder George quickly added: “But that person has disappeared for more than thirty years. In fact, Zhai Yunsheng was not yet born at the time when that man disappeared.”
And thus, it was unlikely that there was a relations.h.i.+p between the two people.
Upon hearing this, Anna said to Elder George: “It seems as though the Zhai family will become strong in the future. We should consider them as an ally.”
Elder George: “That’s not a bad thought. We’ve given you full control to manage the Eastern markets. You can do whatever you want.”

Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling were leaving the Jinshui Village to return to Beijing.
Before leaving, Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling went over to the hut by the waterfall to thank Grandpa Sun for his teachings during this period of time.
However, when Grandpa Sun saw these two people, he was not happy. Instead, he started yelling at them: “What are you guys doing here? Who told you to come here? Shoo!”
As he said this, Grandpa Sun began to reach for his broom.
Despite getting along well in Jin Jin’s house, if anyone came here, Grandpa Sun would immediately become mad at them.
After yelling at them for a while, Grandpa Sun looked at Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling again. A trace of worry appeared in his eyes. “Well… I didn’t mean anything else. It’s… Just not safe here,” Grandpa Sun muttered. It was rare for him to explain anything.
Then, Grandpa Sun accompanied Zhai Yunsheng and Jian Yiling as they walked away from the waterfall. They only stopped once they were quite some distance away from the waterfall.
Grandpa Sun reached out and patted Zhai Yunsheng on the shoulder: “Hey kiddo, don’t tell anyone that you were my student. I don’t have any students and I won’t accept any students. I just made a deal with this little girl. Do you understand?”
It wasn’t a good thing to be his student.
Grandpa Sun commented: “And well, even if I wasn’t there, once your body fully recovered, you could reach great places. I just sped up the process.”
Grandpa Sun was not intentionally being polite. Instead, he really believed this.
In the past, what limited Zhai Yunsheng was his body.
However, now that his body was completely better, that limit was easily broken through.
