They were so shocked not because there were problems with Martial Path Mountain but because the contents of the note on the pillar was something that they couldn't accept.
Notice: Due to poor management, there is no rice to cook, and we will be sealing the mountain. Time for reopening is not set yet. If one has serious matters, please head to Jiang City Mingguang Street to search for me. By Zhang Tianshan.
"This..." Lin Fan was speechless, "Cousin, Martial Path Mountain is already bankrupt, should we go home?"
Zhou Zhongmao was filled with disbelief, "How did this happen? Uncle didn't say that things were like this."
True.
Lin Wanyi only knew that Zhang Tianshan was doing well, but that was a few years ago when the two were still sending letters to one another.
Zhang Tianshan naturally couldn't say that he was in a bad situation.
Could he say that?
Not only was that a slap to his face. Men couldn't say that they needed help, even if they did, they had to hold on.
Yuan Tianchu was filled with despair.
Why did they come so long for?
Just to see this paper notice?
"Brother Lin, I suggest that we head back to You City. Martial Path Mountain is just a lie. Look at the situation. It is just so tragic." Yuan Tianchu wanted to head back.
However, he wouldn't go back alone. Otherwise, his father would definitely be disappointed.
As long as Lin Fan took the lead, he would be able to explain why he returned.
He couldn't blame his kid as Martial Path Mountain was the one that fell. Lin Fan wanted to return, so he could only follow.
"No, Uncle's orders are for us not to go back no matter what." Zhou Zhongmao said.
The night before they left You City, Uncle not only opened all his meridians. He also instructed him not to come back and to stay at Martial Path Mountain no matter what the situation was.
He stared at Yuan Tianchu in anger. His gaze was filled with rage like if he dared to make his cousin go back, he would kill him.
Yuan Tianchu was intelligent and understood what Zhou Zhongmao meant right away.
He couldn't offend this seemingly humble and nice fellow.
He was pretty much a demon hiding beneath that facade.
"No, Brother Lin, I feel that this is Old Master Lin's test for you, whether or not you can take over the family. Martial Path Mountain has become like this. Old Master Lin definitely knew about it and just wants to see what we will do. Will we flee or go forward and solve this problem?" Yuan Tianchu said.
He understood right away.
He was being threatened.
He had never been threatened in his life.
But sadly, in this short amount of time, he was threatened by Liang Yongqi, Lin Fan, and Zhou Zhongmao.
Life was just so special.
Wait!
Yuan Tianchu frowned. He felt that things weren't so simple, and there were problems with this.
"Brother Yuan, what is with your expression?" Seeing his solemn expression, Lin Fan was deep in thought like he understood something.
Yuan Tianchu paced up and down with his head low in thought. He then raised his head, "Brother Lin, this is a plot to test us."
"Based on what I guess, Old Master Lin knew about the mountain, but he still let us rush here. What is his goal?"
"His goal is simple. It is his test for us!"
"For one to open a sect in the mountains, how can one fall like this? This is a test for us from Martial Path Mountain, which is why we have to face this test. At the same time, we need to find the real way into the Martial Path Mountain."
Liang Yongqi asked with a weird expression, "Based on what you are saying, this isn't Martial Path Mountain?"
He was saying it like it was true.
He felt that Yuan Tianchu was really interesting, only knowing how to brag like he knew everything.
Lin Fan didn't say anything; he felt that Yuan Tianchu's words made sense.
Yuan Tianchu walked in front of the paper and pointed at the contents, "The letter itself is problematic. Poor management, not enough rice to cook."
"What poor management? What no rice? A normal sect will have at least a hundred disciples and thousands of disciples at most. To be able to create a sect, there is no way they have poor management skills. As for no rice, that is just a joke! So many disciples have arms and legs, so how could they die from hunger? Look at the environment. They are based on a mountain. Capturing game and selling it in the city is also money."
"Look at the last line. Jiang City Mingguang Street, this is a clue for us to head there to search for clues."
"Brother Lin, Old Master Lin has a close relationship with Martial Path Mountain for him to arrange such a test."
With what Yuan Tianchu guessed, this entire matter did make sense.
People who studied really were different.
When Wang Yunfei came to You City, Yuan Tianchu decided to talk about poems with girls, he knew about the importance of knowledge.
Lin Fan thought about it and then looked at Yuan Tianchu, "I didn't think you could discover all this."
Yuan Tianchu smiled, "It is just a small matter and not very difficult. However, there are still some small details we have to figure out."
To feel gleeful after a few sentences, Liang Yongqi looked down on Yuan Tianchu. Why was he gloating?
He hated people who could only talk.
He was totally the same as Lin Fan; why didn't he see it in the past.
"You guessed all this, so who knows if it is real or not?" Liang Yongqi said.
Yuan Tianchu smiled, "Whether it is real or not, we will find out."
Liang Yongqi's distrust made him unhappy.
What did that mean?
You were looking down on me.
If you had balls, then head to Jiang City and let me use the truth to slap you.
"Gou'zi, what do you think?" Lin Fan asked.
"Whatever you say, Young Master." Gou'zi replied. Since his Young Master asked, then he would definitely stand on the same side.
If Lin Fan felt that Yuan Tianchu was just talking nonsense, then it was just nonsense.
Lin Fan thought about it for a moment, "Let's go to Jiang City."
He didn't understand what his father was thinking.
He felt that this whole thing was problematic.
However, he didn't know what the problem was.
Jiang City.
"What a luxurious city." Lin Fan said.
That was the case.
Just from the city gates, they could tell even before they entered.
The walls of You City were broken and low. Some that had cultivation would be able to jump up over it.
There were guards on the city gates.
They didn't check the people who entered and just stood there.
On the ground were green brick roads, and the streets were bustling. If one didn't come here, one wouldn't know, and it made his heart turn cold.
The difference was huge.
Why was You City so broken?
He couldn't understand.
They looked for someone to ask where Weifu Pavilion was.
Not long later, a luxurious restaurant appeared in front of them. This was much more luxurious than Drunk Fragrance Pavillion. In Lin Fan's words, this was five stars, and Drunk Fragrance Pavillion was two stars.
There was no room for comparison.
At the door was an old man who had set up shop to do divinations.
A bell rang in his left hand.
His right hand held a banner that displayed the words "God Divinator Zhang Tianxian."
Lin Fan stood at the door, "Go ask if Zhang Tianshan is there."
Just as the divinator wanted to ask these few people, he heard them talking about him. His eyes squinted, and he started to listen closely.
Yuan Tianchu said, "We probably won't be able to ask anything. For us to enter Martial Path Mountain, we have to face this test."
Lin Fan said, "Let's just ask first."
Divinator Zhang Tianxian got up and changed his clothes. Just like that, he gave off a celestial aura.
He then went back and waited for the fish to get baited.
