BECOMING A WIZARD BY STARTING FROM THE MIND CLOSURE TECHNIQUE

Chapter 747: Chapter 225 Secret_1

Link decided to delve deeper into researching this world’s ancient witchcraft system.

While Yun Xinying and her “Ghost Eye” dark magic did not leave a good impression on Link, it doesn’t give one the right to make wholesale rejection of the ancient witchcraft system without fully understanding it.

Retaining skepticism and modesty grant the correct mindset for an academic investigator.

Wizards, in essence, are just a group of avid academic researchers.

To investigate the ancient witchcraft system, one needs an entry point.

This entry point could be none other than Yun Xinying and the “Witch Charm” organization she is affiliated with.

Bear in mind, in the past ten years, Link only encountered the Human Immortal Martial Path and the Mechanical Martial Art.

In all the books he has read, he couldn’t find a single mention about the ancient witchcraft system, or organizations like “Witch Charm”.

Perhaps it was because the books Link read were pre-screened by Master Li Shuwen;

Perhaps it was because the authorities banned these materials;

Or perhaps there were other reasons.

But it doesn’t matter.

What’s important is…

Link realized from the trace he left behind that Yun Xinying had ventured to the Lotus Heart Boat on the Sleeping Willow River, lost in her thoughts.

She might still have useful information, however, her real value lies in her connection which might lead to more members of the “Witch Charm” organization.

If he could follow the trail and nab some higher-ups like elders, their interrogations would presumably produce a wealth of information.

As Link was lost in these thoughts, Brother Shi, who was handling the matter of the mole in the martial arts school, arrived.

“Brother, are you busy?”

Link broke off from his contemplation and stood up to meet Brother Shi who was waiting outside.

“Wei Hanshan came, he has some urgent matter and wants to discuss with us, specifically requested to see you.”

Brother Shi didn’t seem too pleased, speaking with a slightly lower voice.

Anyone would feel upset if there was a traitor in their family.

A traitor in the family, how heartbreaking, how infuriating!

“Oh?”

Link made a sound in surprise, feeling a bit curious.

Yun Xinying had just left and Wei Hanshan came knocking? He really has sharp instincts and decision-making skills.

No wonder he managed to create one of the top ten industrial groups in the province from scratch.

“Let us go, brother, let’s meet him together.”

Link collected his thoughts and walked towards the front yard of the Martial Arts School.

Before long, the two brothers arrived in the reception hall and found Wei Hanshan leisurely sipping tea.

However, Link didn’t focus on Wei Hanshan, instead his eyes were affixed to the middle-aged steward named Ah Chen standing behind Wei Hanshan, whose presence was barely detectable.

“Hmm…”

Link smirked and immediately regained his calm though slight indifferent expression, saying, “Is Mr. Wei here to talk or to demonstrate his power? Even the former head of the American Instrumentality Sect in the Southern Pugilistic World was invited.”

In the world of the Human Immortal Martial Path, the power resides in various forms of sects, gangs, and martial art schools.

On the other hand, within the world of Mechanical martial arts, the power resides within different schools of thought, each with its own ideology.

The ideology of the American Instrumentality Sect is that beauty represents combat power. Beautiful machinery is powerful machinery, and beautiful moves are the strongest moves.

In the world of martial arts, martial artists of the American Instrumentality Sect are also known as dancers.

That’s because, whether in training or in combat, the movements of American Instrumentality Sect martial artists are always aesthetic, as if they were dancing.

“Oh, no, no, Young Hero Lin, it’s a misunderstanding.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Hanshan hastily put down the tea cup in his hand, and stood up to explain sincerely, “I am here not to show off any strength, but to request the understanding and peace talks with the Octagon Martial Arts School. Ah Chen retired from the American Instrumentality Sect twenty years ago, and is an independent individual, not any grand senior anymore.”

“Is that so?”

Link made a sound from his nostril, seemingly skeptical albeit knowing Wei Hanshan was telling the truth, he decided to give him a hard time anyway.

How dare this man sit and leisurely sip tea when the two of them walked into the hall, instead of standing up immediately; he is unforgivable.

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Wei Hanshan repeatedly acknowledged, with cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

He seemed to be full of fear and unease at having been called out, and was afraid that Link would refuse to give him a chance to speak due to his anger.

In reality, he was quite pleased with his own performance.

Most times, voluntarily showing one’s weakness before a confrontation produces a more favorable outcome.

“Please have a seat, Mr. Wei.”

Link glanced at Wei Hanshan, a man full of tricks. He took the main seat on the left while allowing his senior brother to sit on the right, then motioned for Wei Hanshan to sit back down.

“Thank you, Hall Master Shi, and thank you, Young Hero Lin.”

Wei Hanshan bowed and sat back down with a sigh of relief.

He exaggeratedly wiped the sweat from his forehead to appear extremely anxious.

“Mr. Wei, please speak your mind, no need to put on a show in front of us. Your time and ours are both precious. You have a large business to manage, and we have pressing matters to attend to.”

Seeing that Brother Shi had no intention of speaking, Link naturally took up the initiative in the conversation.

Hearing Link’s forthright words, Wei Hanshan abandoned some of his former pretense, straightened himself up and began to speak earnestly, “Despite the fact that Octagon Martial Art School has not officially issued a statement of intent to undercut my business, there are already rampant rumors in circulation affecting the normal operations of my business. My visit is not for the purpose of complaining about the rumor, but rather to sincerely ask for the School’s forgiveness, and invite them to the negotiation table. With utmost sincerity, I am willing to offer the shipping business in Sleeping River as a gift in hopes of receiving an endorsement from Hall Master Shi.”
