"……also?"

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and looked with interest at the young man in martial arts uniform and carrying two plastic bags.

"You mean, besides us, there are other people who want to become disciples?"

"Ah, but that was two months ago."

The young man first answered Lin Zhongtian's question frankly, and then said with emotion: "In two months, three people came to ask me to be your disciple. Since that incident, this kind of grand occasion is really rare..."

"grand occasion……"

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun looked at each other with strange expressions.

Only three people came to become my apprentices in two months. Can this be considered a grand occasion?

After the young man sighed, he turned to look at Li Yun and Lin Zhongtian and sighed: "As the eldest brother of the dojo, I advise you to give up your apprenticeship as soon as possible. The master will not accept you as his apprentice."

After saying that, the young man started walking towards the gym gate, carrying two plastic bags of supplies.

“Wait!” Lin Zhongtian immediately called him and waited for him to turn around in confusion before he chuckled and said, “You misunderstood. We are not here to become disciples, but to look for someone.”

"…Looking for someone?"

The young man frowned and said, "There are only my master and I in the whole gym. Who are you looking for? Oh, I see. You are not from the Hero Association, right? Then please come in!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and shook his head: "No need, we are not looking for you and Mr. Banggu, but the person you mentioned who came here to learn from you two months ago."

"You mean 'glasses'?"

The young man frowned and asked in surprise: "What do you want to do with him?"

Hearing the other party's words, Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

'Glasses'……

What's this name?

Could it be a hero's nickname?

Is this guy still a hero?

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun exchanged a glance, then smiled and said, "Nothing, that guy is our fellow villager. We came here, originally intending to seek refuge with him, but unexpectedly, the address he told us before was no longer inhabited. We asked around for his whereabouts, and then we heard that he had been to the gym..."

"So that's how it is."

The young man suddenly realized, then shook his head and said, "Then you asked the wrong person. I don't know where he lives now."

Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "From what you said, he also failed to become a disciple?"

The young man shook his head and said, "Of course not. Although he was very sincere, the teacher still rejected him."

Lin Zhongtian continued to ask: "Then where did he go?"

The young man looked hesitant and glanced suspiciously at the two men's faces, as if he was still on guard against them.

"Let me answer this question..."

A slightly old voice came calmly.

Lin Zhongtian had a smile on his face and turned to look at the gym behind the young man.

An old man with white hair and beard and looking energetic walked out of the Taoist temple. He put his strong hands behind his back and looked at Li Yun and Lin Zhongtian at the door of the Taoist temple with sharp eyes.

"Teacher, why did you come out?"

The young man hurried over.

Bang Gu glanced at him and chuckled, "Cha Lanzi, you go in first."

Cha Lanzi was stunned for a moment, looked at the two of them with some vigilance, and then turned and walked towards the gym.

After Cha Lanzi's back disappeared at the entrance of the gym, Bang said with a smile: "You two just eliminated the demon-level monster in D City, and you rushed to my humble abode without stopping. It seems that young man is really important to you!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Mr. Bangu is well-informed!"

Bang nodded with a smile: "I can't help it. The people in the Hero Association value you two very much. As the third S-class hero, I will naturally be notified to win over you two..."

Bangu paused for a moment, and then said in a slightly bewitching tone: "I have seen your strength. If it were you, I would make an exception and accept you as my apprentices. It would not be impossible~"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in front of the gym suddenly became silent.

Li Yun looked at Bangu with an extremely strange expression, his eyes constantly wandering between Bangu and Lin Zhongtian.

If this old guy just wanted to take him in as his apprentice, it would be fine, but he actually wanted to take Boss Lin in as his apprentice!

This is really...

Li Yun complained madly in his mind, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Bangu was also embarrassed. He finally swallowed his pride and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the two "young people" in his eyes, but he didn't expect to get any response.

Facing Lin Zhongtian's surprised look, Bangu clenched his fist, put it to his mouth, coughed twice, and then said with a smile: "Haha, it's just a joke. Let's get back to the topic. I know where the young man you are looking for is."

"But before I tell you, I need to confirm that you have no ill will towards him."

As he spoke, Bang's eyes became fierce, and it seemed that in an instant he turned from a retired old man into the famous Silver Fang.

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Of course not. If there were, how could we be standing here and talking to Mr. Bangu and your eldest disciple in a friendly manner?"

Lin Zhongtian spoke very politely, but the deep meaning implied in his words made Bangu feel a chill in his heart.

"...What a harmonious relationship!"

Bangu suddenly burst into laughter, then his expression straightened and he said, "Okay, I believe you!"

"The story began a year ago. At that time, my dojo was packed with people and disciples..."

Bang Gu chattered on and on about the past.

It's about how glorious his gym was in the past, and how outstanding his disciples were, until one day a year ago, when his top disciple Garou suddenly took advantage of Bang's absence and attacked people. Not only did he defeat all the disciples in Bang's gym, he also beat them so badly that they were bleeding and their hearts were broken. They even developed an unspeakable fear and psychological trauma towards Garou.

Although Bang eventually defeated Garou easily and drove him out of the gym, the things Garou did had already planted deep fear and shadow in the hearts of the gym disciples.

Since then, the disciples of Bang Gu Dojo have left one after another, and only Cha Lanzi, who had escaped by skipping classes, became the only disciple left in Bang Gu Dojo...

The above are all plots in the original novel, and Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun are naturally very clear about them.

However, in order to find out the whereabouts of their fellow villager, they still listened with gloomy faces.

Finally, after a long introduction, Bang's story progressed to two months ago.

"Two months ago, that young man suddenly came to my gym and wanted to become my disciple. I looked at his qualifications and found that he had certain martial arts talents. However, he was too weak at the time. I was worried that my traitor who had defected would destroy this good seedling, so I rejected him."

"However, I didn't say anything final. I just suggested that he switch to another gym. The owner of that gym is my brother, the founder of Tornado Iron Fist, Bump..."

"As for now, he should have become my elder brother's disciple!"

At this point, Bang let out a long sigh and said with satisfaction, "It's been a while since anyone has listened to me so patiently. Come with me, and I'll write down the address of my brother's gym for you!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun stood in front of the stone steps with gloomy faces, without moving.

Bangu was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "Any other questions?"

"This is a big problem!" Lin Zhongtian couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Why are you talking so much when you can explain it in one sentence?"

Bangu laughed and said, "I am afraid that you don't understand the cause and effect..."

Lin Zhongtian twitched his lips and said, "Is there a possibility? I mean maybe, we just want to find someone and don't need to understand the cause and effect."

Bang blinked, "So...you guys don't want the address of my brother's gym?"

“Found it!”

Li Yun, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

Bangu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and saw Li Yun holding a mobile phone and handing it to Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian took the phone, looked at the location of Bangpu Gym on the map app, then nodded, held the phone upright, and waved it provocatively at Bang, who looked a little stunned.

"Welcome to the 21st century!"

After saying that, Lin Zhongtian turned around and, without caring about Bangu's reaction, called Li Yun to leave together.

Looking at the two people's backs as they left, the expression on Banggu's face gradually changed from astonishment to a smile. Then, he took out his mobile phone with a smile and called his brother Bangpu.

"Hey, is that you, Onii-chan? I sent you two more good seedlings..."

“No, no, no. I know your gym already has hundreds of disciples, but these two are truly excellent talents, and they are extremely powerful. I don’t think you can subdue them…”

"You asked me why I didn't keep them. Of course, it's because they didn't plan to become my disciples. They went to find someone from you."

"Yes, it's that young man from two months ago... So if you want to keep them, it depends on your methods, brother!"

After saying that, Bang hung up the phone, turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked into the gym happily.

He didn't really intend to let Lin Zhongtian and Li Yun worship Bangpu as their master. He just wanted to see his brother suffer a setback out of boredom!

The life of the elderly is so plain and boring.

…

…

Different from the deserted dojo next door, Bangpu's dojo is truly bustling with disciples.

As soon as Li Yun and Lin Zhongtian approached, they could hear the powerful shouts coming from the gym.

Lin Zhongtian was the first to walk into the gym and found that there was a special front desk responsible for reception in the lobby on the first floor of the gym.

Seeing this scene, the two looked at each other strangely, and then walked over.

As members of the Time Travelers' Alliance, although the two had never cared about their clothes, the clothes they could buy from the alliance, even if they were ordinary clothes without any abilities, were extremely expensive custom-made clothes in the ordinary world.

Therefore, after seeing the appearance and attire of the two, the receptionist's eyes lit up and she immediately spoke enthusiastically.

"Welcome to Mr. Bangpu's dojo. Are you planning to become his disciple or are you looking for someone else?"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian was slightly startled, and looked at Li Yun in surprise, and then said calmly: "Looking for someone."

The female receptionist's expression remained unchanged, and she asked enthusiastically, "What kind of person are you looking for? Our gym is full of talented people, and our disciples are all very strong. Whether you are planning to hire a bodyguard or a martial arts tutor for your child, we have absolutely suitable candidates for you to choose from..."
