"Senior Lin this..."
Fang An was at a loss for words, he was certainly happy when Lin Fan looked up to Xiao Chen and wanted to match him with his granddaughter but Fang An felt that everything happened so fast.
Although Fang An was Xiao Chen's Master but they had only known each other for a few days and there was no martial arts that he had passed on to Xiao Chen. Fang An felt that it was not appropriate to arrange Xiao Chen's matchmaking.
"Hm? Do you think my granddaughter is not good enough for Chen'er?" Lin Fan's expression changed slightly, it could be seen that he loved his granddaughter very much and was sensitive to all things related to Qiao Yu.
"Ahem... Isn't that right Senior Lin..." Fang An could only scratch his cheek, finding it difficult to explain the situation.
Xiao Chen felt it was unfair for his Master to face a situation like this, "Uncle Lin, it's not little brother who is not good enough but maybe I am not worthy of sister Qiao..." Xiao Chen then explained his background as an orphan and had only met Fang An for a few days.
Hearing this explanation made Lin Fan's face soften, and he was even more impressed with Xiao Chen. Lin Fan did not expect Xiao Chen to have such a tragic background and had not officially become a disciple of Hundred Sword Valley.
Lin Fan had thought about bringing Xiao Chen back to Peach Blossom Mountain but felt it was inappropriate to do so to Fang An who had helped him. Xiao Chen even continued that he might not have the martial arts talent to match Qiao Yu.
Lin Fan stroked his chin, considering Xiao Chen's words. Actually, according to Lin Fan, seeing Xiao Chen's mature demeanor for his age as well as his intelligence and temperament, Lin Fan was sure that Xiao Chen would become a respected figure but it all came back to his martial arts talent.
"Senior Lin, both of them are still so young, isn't it too early to talk about matchmaking? Let them grow up more and Qiao Yu understand the situation first, introduce them both. If indeed both of them are interested in each other, it is not too late to match them." Fang An finally finished composing the sentence he wanted to say.
Lin Fan did not answer immediately but looked at Xiao Chen from top to bottom, he rarely felt so interested in someone and Xiao Chen had succeeded in making him want to make him a partner for his granddaughter or at least make him a disciple.
"I hope you can provide enough resources for Chen'er so that his martial arts can develop well." Lin Fan then took out something from his clothes, a small wooden box, "Since I have not been able to matchmake my granddaughter, I should at least repay your kindness."
Fang An accepted Lin Fan's gift then checked its contents, he found inside there were three pink pills.
"Senior Lin, this is..." Fang An immediately recognized the pills and understood their value.
"Don't refuse, if it weren't for Chen'er I would have been in trouble." Lin Fan asked Fang An to keep the pills and give them to Xiao Chen at the right time.
Xiao Chen also recognized Lin Fan's gift as the Lotus Flower Pill. These three pills had strong healing properties and each pill could increase strength by one to two circles.
In martial arts, internal energy has a unit called a circle because the internal energy trained by a warrior will form a small circle within him. If someone trains with ordinary breathing techniques, he will be able to form one circle of internal energy by practicing diligently for two years, while those who are talented will be able to form one circle every year.
When someone trains using high-level internal energy, they can get two to three circles every year and those who are talented can form five to six circles.
The Heavenly Dragon God Scripture which is considered the most powerful internal energy itself allows people who train with it to make at most sixty internal energy circles every year. Xiao Chen is not talented and can only make ten to twelve circles every year even though he trains with the same scripture. ①
Of course, getting high-level internal energy is not easy in the martial world, that's why most martial artists look for medicines, plants and magical objects that can increase internal energy, but the price of each of these items is also very high.
The three pills that Lin Fan gave were worth a luxury house in a big city, that's why Fang An was a little hesitant to accept it, but this was also part of Xiao Chen's luck. If Xiao Chen consumed these pills, at least he would have better inner strength than other children of the same age with the same talent.
Fang An also planned to find a way to get,get these kinds of things to help Xiao Chen's future development.
Xiao Chen instead thought of gifting these to Fang An, because the three pills could help Fang An suppress his old illness temporarily. For Xiao Chen, the three pills could indeed provide three to six circles of inner strength, but for him who had the Heavenly Dragon God Scripture in his head, it was not too tempting.
That night, Lin Fan invited Fang An and Xiao Chen to chat all night after asking one of the innkeepers to put Qiao Yu to sleep. Of course, after knowing Lin Fan's abilities, no one dared to refute him.
Lin Fan praised Xiao Chen's intelligence many times in their conversation. Lin Fan even reminded Xiao Chen to visit Peach Blossom Mountain when he had the chance.
Fang An also got some valuable pointers that were very helpful for the progress of his martial arts, after all, the opportunity to talk to someone like Lin Fan, let alone share knowledge, was so rare.
"Chen'er, don't forget to see Qiao Yu in a few years!"
When morning came, Lin Fan intended to continue his journey. After giving Xiao Chen a message, Lin Fan who was carrying Qiao Yu left the inn.
Xiao Chen could only be amazed to see Lin Fan's high level of lightening skills. Fang An also reminded him that the martial arts world was so vast and above the sky there was still the sky so Xiao Chen had to watch his attitude and not look for unnecessary trouble.
Xiao Chen nodded slowly at Fang An's statement, the two of them chose to rest until noon before continuing their journey to the Valley of Hundred Swords.
