Chapter 62: Silver Feather
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘Big nephew?’
It took Lin Mo a moment to realize that his good brother, Gao Haoran, had become his eldest nephew.
Actually, even if Gao Feng didn’t say anything, Lin Mo would still consider bringing Gao Haoran into a top school.
After all, the so-called resources in the top schools were not very attractive to Lin Mo.
‘Evolution potions?’
If there was, he would drink more. If not, he would watch others drink more. In any case, after others drank it, it could increase Lin Mo’s involution index and eventually become Lin Mo’s punching force.
Secret technique?
Lin Mo was even less interested! He could just lie down and watch others train. He didn’t need to move.
Personal guidance from a master?
Get lost! Don’t affect my idle sleep! Just give more pointers to the other students!
So—
If Lin Mo were to raise some additional conditions with a top school, he really wouldn’t know what to say.
Even if Gao Feng didn’t specially mention it now, the only condition Lin Mo could think of was probably to get a place for his good brother.
Good brothers, for life!
This would not change even if Lin Mo had become Gao Haoran’s uncle.
“Of course, Brother Lin Mo!” Gao Feng continued, “I definitely won’t let you work for nothing! After all, it’s not easy to get a spot in a top school. Therefore, I will definitely compensate you accordingly!”
“No need, no need! Haoran and I are good brothers. The relationship between us is not mixed with anything!” Lin Mo said righteously. “Besides, I just became Haoran’s uncle today! As his uncle, how can I not give him a greeting gift?”
“Pure friendship” Gao said, as if he had just thought of something. “I understand!”
With that, he began to unbuckle his belt.
“Big Brother!?”
Lin Mo jumped up in shock and waved his hands.
“What are you doing?”
“No! No!”
“Brother, I’m really not that kind of person!”
However, Gao Feng acted as if he didn’t hear Lin Mo’s words. He pulled out his belt and threw it on the table.
Just as Lin Mo thought that he had made a careless friend and did not dare to look at him… Gao Feng did not make any “next” moves. Instead, he sat down and puffed up his belt.
Gao Feng’s belt was led by a square metal waist that seemed to be made of some special material.
Gao Feng quickly removed the metal head from the belt.
“Brother, what are you…” Lin Mo also sensed that something was wrong. He sat down and watched curiously.
At this moment, Gao Feng carefully picked up the metal head and pressed the switches on the four corners of it with both hands.
“Crack!”
The metal waist lead was opened, revealing a hidden compartment inside.
In the secret compartment, a silver feather was fixed.
Gao Feng took a few deep breaths before solemnly taking out the silver feather from the secret compartment.
“What is this?” Lin Mo saw that the silver feathers were as thin as cicada wings and the edges were extremely sharp. The material looked a little like metal, but it didn’t seem to be.
“I picked up this feather by chance when I was wandering the outer realm battlefield back then. I’m actually not too sure what it is or what use it has. I only know…” Gao Feng carefully pinched this seemingly ordinary feather and said solemnly,” If you’re scratched by this feather, even if it’s just a very small wound… if you’re not an official martial artist, you’ll immediately die! ”
“Hiss!” Lin Mo was slightly shocked. “Even quasi-martial artists will die?”
“Yes!” Gao said sternly.
One had to know that the vitality of quasi-martial artists was very strong and they would almost never get sick. But even so, as long as they were scratched by this silver feather, they would definitely die!
“Whether ordinary official martial artists can survive depends on their luck! But even if they survive, they will definitely be crippled!” Gao Feng continued, “Only Celestial Martial Artists or official martial artists whose combat skills have reached the fourth rank and above can resist a little! Of course, if they are scratched a few more times by this feather, they will definitely die!”
With that, Gao placed the silver feather back in the secret compartment and carefully secured it. He checked it several times before closing the compartment.
“Good brother! This belt buckle is yours!” Gao Feng handed it over solemnly. “Of course, I won’t give you the belt. Go and get yourself another one!”
“This is too valuable!” Although Lin Mo was not sure what this feather was, it was obvious that it was definitely an extremely valuable item. Otherwise, Gao Feng would not have hidden it in his belt and carried it with him at all times.
“It shouldn’t be very expensive, but it’s a little special! I was afraid that Haoran would accidentally touch it if I hid it at home, so I carried it with me.” Gao Feng waved his hand and said, “Besides, it’s been so many years, I really don’t know what use this feather has. Now that my martial arts path has actually come to an end, I’m only left with retirement for the rest of my life. Instead of leaving this with me, I might as well give it to you. Perhaps you can find a use for it in the future!”
“I—”
Lin Mo wanted to decline, but Gao Feng interrupted him. “Isn’t it just a feather? You’re not even willing to accept a feather from big brother?”
“Alright then!” Lin Mo couldn’t refuse and could only accept it. Of course, he was also quite curious about this silver feather. “Brother, in the future, let me take care of Haoran in university!”
“With an uncle like you by Haoran’s side, what’s there to worry about?” Gao Feng smiled.
“By the way, Big Brother!” Lin Mo said again. “Where did you customize this belt? Give me their contact information. I’ll get one made!”
…
Late at night.
Lin Mo put on his new custom belt and returned home.
Gao Haoran also followed his father, Gao Feng, back to the single-family villa by the river.
“Haoran, from tomorrow onwards, you don’t have to go to the prep class!” Gao Feng was enjoying the breeze in the small courtyard. He had long woken up from his drunken stupor.
“Why, Dad?” Gao Haoran asked hurriedly. “Everyone is saying that the college entrance examination score this year will be very high. I want to train more in the prep class and try my best to get into a better martial arts university!”
“I’m very gratified that you have such thoughts!” Gao Feng nodded in approval. “However, I’ve already used my connections! Your uncle has already agreed to get you into a top martial arts school! Therefore… your college entrance examination results are no longer important!”
“A top martial arts school?!” Gao Haoran was shocked. “Which uncle of mine is so awesome? Is it that Uncle Yu from the Jiangnan Prefecture’s Martial Arts Department?”
“It’s not him!” Gao Feng shook his head. “Although your Uncle Yu has some status in Jiangnan Prefecture, those top universities won’t give him any respect at all!”
“Which uncle is that?” Gao Haoran asked. “He’s actually more impressive than my Uncle Yu!”
“It’s your Uncle Lin!” Gao Feng said vaguely. “Don’t ask anymore. You’ll find out in the future!”
Gao Feng was worried that Gao Haoran might not be able to accept that Lin Mo had become his uncle in a short period of time. Therefore… he should give the child some buffer time!
“Yes, yes!” Gao Haoran did not continue asking. He had long been overwhelmed by this huge surprise. “I didn’t expect that I, Gao Haoran, would also be able to become a university student at a martial arts school!”
But then, Gao Haoran couldn’t help but worry. “Dad, I’m so weak… Will I be unable to survive in a top school?”
“Don’t worry about that!” Gao Feng smiled. “After you enter a top school, you can do whatever you want. Go ahead and be a hooligan! With your Uncle Lin’s connections, the school will never expel you!”
“Then wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I’m too trashy?” Gao Haoran still wanted to save face.
“If you’re too trashy, is it you who’s losing face? No! It’s the school who’s losing face!” Gao Feng said nonchalantly. “The top schools will think of ways to nurture you into a talent, even for the sake of reputation! So—what are you worried about?”
“Oh…” Gao Haoran realized. “My Uncle Lin is really awesome!”
Gao Haoran would never have thought that “Uncle Lin” was actually his good brother, Lin Mo!
‘I treat you like a brother, but you treat me like a nephew?’
