Chapter 2
Chapter 2: And If He Wanted to Break the Deadlock... Only the Martial Path Could Do It...
Clearly, toward this insensible daughter-in-law before him, displeasure had risen in the old man’s heart.
Especially since the good mood brought about by the exquisite handkerchief in his hand had been ruined.
At that moment, the scene fell into a strange silence.
After all, if Lin Tian and his mother could think of it, how could the people around them fail to think of it?

The reason Lin Tiansheng had been able to enter the inner city to study martial arts was entirely because he had used the slot that Lin Tian’s father had earned by risking his life in the army.
Although the man had not joined the army for the sake of that slot back then, he had still been maimed because of that enlistment...

Yet at that moment, the eldest aunt’s family did not make a sound.
Only the youngest aunt at the side, who was not much older than Lin Tian, clenched her hands slightly.
She was the old man’s last child.
When they were young, she and Lin Tian had been close.

At that moment, she clearly wanted to say something.
But her gaze merely shifted again and again. In the end, she still did not dare to stand up.
Meanwhile, when Zhang Cui saw the old man’s expression and heard what Lin Tian and the others had just said, she clearly knew that her goal had already been achieved.
She immediately stepped forward again and said, “Enough. You may go back now.”

She was driving them away. That was right. After using up that slot, she did not mention any compensation at all. Instead, she directly chose to drive them out.
Lin Tian looked at Zhang Cui before him.

In his mind, he could not help recalling how she had once wept and knelt before his father, all to keep that so-called second uncle from going to the battlefield.
He also remembered how, when the family was divided, she had thrown a tantrum and rolled about shamelessly again and again, all to keep his father from receiving the share of property he deserved.
And now, there was this face before him.
This lofty, arrogant face driving him and his mother away.
Lin Tian took a deep breath.
He forcibly suppressed the fury in his heart.

Then he spoke once more. “Grandfather, I still want to practice martial arts. Even if I only follow Cousin Tiansheng and learn from him, that would be fine.”
At that moment, Lin Tian was very clear.
He had to practice martial arts. He had to begin.
Because only by doing so could he break the predicament his family was currently facing and protect his loved ones.
He might even be able to establish a foothold in these chaotic times.
Therefore, although he knew that he should stand up and angrily denounce these people who had stolen what belonged to him, reason told him that he still could not do so.

At the very least, for his sister’s sake, he had to endure for now.
Moreover, at this moment, all he needed was to come into contact with the martial path.

With his Fate, even without true guidance, he could still practice martial arts.
Thus, all he was asking for now was a chance to practice martial arts.
“No! What kind of joke is that? One look at you is enough to tell that you are not material for martial arts. How could I waste my time on you?”
After hearing Lin Tian’s words, Lin Tiansheng immediately rejected him with disdain.

When Zhang Cui heard her son’s words, she promptly followed along. “Exactly. Why do you not look at yourself first? That is martial cultivation! For someone like you, even looking at it in this lifetime would be a luxury, yet you still want to practice it?”
“Father, do not become muddleheaded. The Martial Examination is already approaching. At a time like this, we absolutely cannot allow certain people to affect Tiansheng.”
“If Tiansheng’s performance is affected, would that not be dragging him down?”
When the old man heard that this involved Lin Tiansheng’s martial examination, his gaze immediately became sharp and firm.

After all, whether he could fulfill his lifelong wish of moving into the inner city rested entirely on Lin Tiansheng.
Naturally, he could not allow anything that might affect Lin Tiansheng’s martial examination to happen.

In the next moment, he immediately said to Lin Tian and Madam Zhao, “Enough, Lin Tian. I have already said that you cannot practice martial arts. Go back now!”
After saying this, the old man directly closed his eyes.
This was a direct order for them to leave.
But when Madam Zhao saw this scene from the side, she could no longer hold herself back.
In particular, all the repression that had accumulated recently because of the pressure in her heart seemed to erupt at this moment.
At that moment, her mind kept churning with the grievance of how they had been driven out of the family penniless back then.

Previously, she had merely known that she did not have the standing to fight over those things.
It was not that she did not know how to fight.
But at this moment, that thing clearly belonged to her husband. It had been obtained with his life on the line. Yet now, it had been stolen by these people.
And these people still acted so self-righteous.
It was as though they were the ones who had done something wrong.
“Father, do you still remember who the child’s father joined the army for back then? And how did that leg of his...”
W̊ еb́n̂ ôv̄е̂ l̄ Èṅŭm а̂
“Enough!”
“But the child’s father’s...”

“I said I have already made myself clear. Do you not understand me? And stop bringing up his leg! That was an injury he suffered on the battlefield. What does it have to do with us?”
“Back then, he was the one who agreed to go in Second’s place. Are you trying to blame us now?!”
The old man opened his eyes once more and immediately let out an angry shout.
Clearly, he was truly furious now.
W̆ е̌b̊n_оv̆ ѐl̂ Ёn̄_ùm̂ä
After all, at this moment, he had already hinted so plainly for them to leave.
Yet they still dared to resist him.
Did they have any regard for him as the head of the family at all?
Cough, cough, cough!

After saying those words, the old man’s chest immediately began to heave violently.
Seeing this, Zhang Cui immediately went over and handed him tea.

Then she once again turned toward Madam Zhao and Lin Tian and said, “Look at what you have done! Do you not know that the old man is in poor health and cannot easily be angered? What exactly did you come here to do today?”
Looking at Zhang Cui, who was berating them with such a fierce expression, Lin Tian immediately wanted to retort in his heart, “Our two families have cut ties for so many years. How would we know that this old man is in poor health?”
Of course, such resentful words spoken in anger naturally could not be said aloud.
At the side, his mother, Madam Zhao, also had a slight change in expression at that moment.
But in the end, she did not speak again.
This exchange also came to an end because of the old man’s sudden outburst inside the hall.

Outside the door.
Lin Tian and his mother, Madam Zhao, walked slowly.
Clearly, both of them knew that it was impossible for them to obtain that martial trial slot.
Of course, they had not even obtained the most basic compensation.
After all, Zhang Cui had said just now, “Tiansheng is practicing martial arts to glorify the family name. Naturally, the family’s silver must be used where it matters most. It cannot be wasted on useless matters and useless people.”
The meaning behind her words could not have been more obvious.

The two of them walked like this along the road back to Jinghe Bay.
Suddenly, Lin Tian saw a faint glimmer of tears at the corner of his mother’s eyes.

Clearly, the grievances they had suffered during this trip, as well as the pressure they had endured in the village during this period, had become unbearable for his mother after that outburst earlier.
Lin Tian’s gaze also darkened at that moment.
After all, what he had said before was no empty phrase.
Only by practicing martial arts could he break through the difficulties his family was facing.

Places like the outer city, especially its more remote areas, were almost lawless lands in the truest sense.
This was especially true of a place like Jinghe Bay.
Those foreign forces and gangs that oppressed the common people were hardly lacking in any village.
And the situation his family now faced was precisely like this.

The Shark Gang.
A gang that had come from another region.
Е ńů.m̈ а̀ . id
Under the pretext of protecting them and ensuring good wind and timely rain, they forcibly collected incense money for the Dragon King.
In less than half a year since arriving at Jinghe Bay, that so-called incense money had risen again and again.
It had nearly pressed impoverished commoners like them until they could hardly breathe.
A few days ago, a minor leader of the Shark Gang came to his father to propose marriage, wanting to marry his elder sister, Lin Wan.
Faced with this marriage, they naturally refused.
After all, putting aside that the minor leader was short and squat, the Shark Gang’s reputation had long since spread throughout their village.

Their so-called taking of wives was nothing more than seizing women and treating them as toys for the members of the Shark Gang to use and abuse as they pleased.
It was merely a vile amusement born of their perverse desires.
But they were only an ordinary family.
Wanting to oppose such ruffians and scoundrels was almost no different from striking a stone with an egg.
Those people had plenty of ways to force common folk like them to lower their heads.
Now, his family could be said to have nearly reached a dead end.
Еn ū m̂ ӓ
If they could not think of a solution, then only two paths remained.
Send his sister over.

Or have the entire family be driven by those people... to death.
It was helpless and cruel.
Yet this was also the normal state of survival for ordinary people like them in these chaotic times.
And if they wanted to break the deadlock... only martial cultivation could do it...
W е́_b́ n̊ӧ vе l Еn um а̂
But now... this method of breaking the deadlock... seemed to have been cut off?
After all, even if he wanted to study martial arts in the outer city, the tuition required was simply not something his family could afford.
They could not even scrape together a single month’s fee.
At this moment, even though he possessed a Fate, he still felt a sense of defeat, as if he had strength but nowhere to use it.

But just then, a woman’s voice rang out from behind him.
“Ah Tian, wait!”
