Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world

#25 - New Avatar

“Brother Jin! Brother Bao!”

“I heard the Imperial Guards were changing shifts, so I came over to take a look. I didn't expect to actually run into you two!”

Su Lian spoke excitedly as she walked over.

Liang Jin sized up Su Lian and asked:

“You seem to be doing pretty well lately.”

Su Lian looked radiant, without the fatigue she used to have.

Before, her skirt was often stained with mud and always damp due to her laundry work.

But now her skirt is clean and without any wet marks.

Su Lian said proudly:

“Of course, I’m a favorite of my aunt now!”

“I don’t even have to do laundry anymore. I just sit on a small stool as a supervisor every day. It couldn’t be more relaxing!”

Seeing Su Lian happy, Liang Jin and Zhao Bao were also relieved.

Zhao Bao was about to speak.

Su Lian changed the subject again:

“But speaking of which, this is probably all thanks to Brother Jin, right?”

“The people from Aunt’s hometown, Brother Jin asked someone to deliver medicine to them, right?”

Liang Jin smiled and didn't deny it.

He wouldn't hesitate to help Zhao Bao and Su Lian if he could.

Su Lian held up a food box:

“So, I specially brought osmanthus cake from my aunt today to thank Brother Jin.”

“Brother Bao, you should have some too.”

“Huh? Brother Bao, your clothes… This looks like the uniform of the Zongwu Academy.”

“Brother Bao, did you become a martial artist and enter the Zongwu Academy?”

“Wow! Congratulations!”

Seeing that the two had finally noticed his change, Zhao Bao straightened his body and showed off his new clothes to them.

It was easy to see that he was proud of everything he had achieved.

“Xiao Lian, how is it? Handsome, right?”

“But I was able to enter the Zongwu Academy all thanks to Brother Jin’s help as well.”

Zhao Bao said, looking at Liang Jin with gratitude.

Liang Jin smiled and said:

“Alright, let’s all try the osmanthus cake that Xiao Lian brought.”

So, the three of them opened the food box and started eating together.

They chatted as they ate, no longer as hurried as before.

After all, Zhao Bao and Su Lian no longer had superiors forcing them to work non-stop all day, so they had a little more free time.

The three hadn't had such a long conversation in a long time, and they chatted very happily.

After a while, Su Lian got up:

“I have to go back now. Brother Jin, Brother Bao, let’s chat again another day.”

With that, she left happily.

After Su Lian left, only Liang Jin and Zhao Bao remained.

Zhao Bao's expression showed hesitation.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and suddenly knelt down towards Liang Jin with a “plop”:

“Brother Jin, I’m sorry to you.”

Only then did Zhao Bao get up.

But he still hung his head deeply and replied in a low voice:

“Brother Jin, I gave the 'Bone-Melting Palm' manual you gave me to Li Dafu, the head of the Zongwu Academy, and he took me as his adopted son.”

“I was really muddled at the time. Only after I did it did I realize that I was ashamed of Brother Jin.”

Zhao Bao felt extremely ashamed.

Liang Jin treated him so well, but he was blinded by desire for a moment and betrayed Liang Jin’s trust in order to get a backer.

At this moment, he didn't dare to look Liang Jin in the eye at all.

Liang Jin frowned slightly:

“Do others know that the 'Bone-Melting Palm' came from me?”

It wouldn't be a big problem if Zhao Bao gave away a manual that wasn't suitable for him.

But if this matter involved him, then the problem would be big.

Zhao Bao hurriedly shook his head:

“Li Dafu asked me, but Brother Jin, don’t worry, I only said it was inherited from my ancestors, and I definitely didn’t say it came from Brother Jin.”

“Please believe me, I would rather die than betray Brother Jin!”

Liang Jin felt a little relieved when he heard this.

Then, when he looked at Zhao Bao, he shook his head slightly in his heart.

Zhao Bao was no longer the ignorant young man he used to be. He had even learned to offer manuals to become someone's adopted son.

However, Liang Jin didn't know what hardships Zhao Bao had suffered, so he wouldn't advise Zhao Bao to be kind.

But since Zhao Bao regarded Liang Jin as a brother, Liang Jin couldn't really ignore it.

“The rarer and more precious a manual is to martial artists, and to put it bluntly, your life is insignificant in this palace.”

“Zhao Bao, I'm afraid you won't get any good by rashly giving away the manual.”

Liang Jin said.

Zhao Bao's status was too humble, so humble that others could kill him and take the manual for themselves.

This was also Liang Jin's biggest worry.

Zhao Bao replied:

“Brother Jin, I understand this principle.”

“That’s why I specifically chose Li Dafu, who has the best reputation in the palace. He has always had the reputation of being a great philanthropist.”

“So, you see, not only did he not kill me, but he even took me as his adopted son.”

Liang Jin shook his head slightly:

“In this palace, I don’t believe there are any truly kind people.”

“Those who bear a great name will benefit from it, but they will also be bound by it. That Li Dafu is probably bound by the name of a philanthropist and cannot easily do it himself.”

“In short, you must be careful in everything and be cautious in everything. Don’t let others find an excuse.”

“You must also be one hundred percent wary of Li Dafu.”

At first, Zhao Bao felt that Liang Jin was a little nagging.

But when he really thought about it carefully, he felt that Liang Jin's words made sense.

So, Zhao Bao nodded:

“Brother Jin, I will keep your words in mind.”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to start accepting training from the Zongwu Academy in the coming days, and I probably won’t be able to come and find you for a long time.”

“During the time I’m away, please take care of yourself, Brother Jin, and also take care of Xiao Lian.”

Liang Jin nodded.

With the relationship between the three of them, he would naturally help whoever was in trouble if he could.

Zhao Bao turned to leave.

But after taking two steps, he turned back.

His nose was a little red:

“I’m ashamed of Brother Jin, but Brother Jin didn’t say a word of blame, which really makes me…”

“I, Zhao Bao, originally had no brother in this life, but fortunately I met Brother Jin. Thank you, Brother Jin, for not disliking me and treating me like a younger brother. I also regard Brother Jin as a brother!”

“Brother Jin, please accept my bow.”

After speaking, Zhao Bao bowed deeply.

He originally didn't want to easily express his feelings.

But today he couldn't hold back his emotions, so he said everything he was thinking.

But Liang Jin treated him with kindness as heavy as a mountain, but he had nothing to repay Liang Jin.

This made Zhao Bao feel even more ashamed in addition to being moved.

This made Zhao Bao secretly swear in his heart: If he could ever become successful, he would definitely not forget Brother Jin's kindness.

After finishing his bow, Zhao Bao turned and left.

Liang Jin looked at Zhao Bao's back and sighed slightly.

At this time.

It was time to sign in.

Liang Jin signed in without hesitation.
