"The old man is not at home right now. You are..."The woman frankly laughed, showing no restraint towards their grand style. 

"You must be Madam Lin." Bai Jing was positively sure. He could feel that this woman had a very strong spiritual power but not of the psychic type.

"What madam. I am just an old woman, come in and have a seat. Is there anything you want from my old man?" Mrs. Lin laughed, and even the wrinkles of her face turned a bit younger.

"It was my presumption." Bai Jing first apologized then smiled and said: "I have heard of Elder Lin from other people. As granny can see, I am also practicing a kind of internal force, and have some issues, that is, I specifically came to ask Elder Lin for advice."

Granny Lin heard this, her bright face faded with a dull smile, lightly asked: "You heard from whom?"  

Bai Jing's mind was clear, smiling: "Granny Lin, rest assured that this thing is separate from me. No other person knows. In fact, I heard it from gossips of the older generation. I didn't mention it to others. I just kept my hopes high, and after talking with granny, I know I found the right person." 

"Oh? What do you see?" Granny Lin showed interest. In the end she was a good person. Although she had doubt of Bai Jing's words, she did not ask more. Children bragged to show off, which she could understand. She and her old man were the man of the moment. As long as it was not heard from "those old guys," now "those old guys" had one foot standing in the grave... 

"Of course it was granny's powerful strength. I would not know granny was also an expert if we did not meet." That said, Bai Jing's use of flattery, in fact, was not bad. 

Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei had been in shock. Why young master had good fighting skills was at this time answered, but this stuff of "internal force," to tell the truth, even with many years spent in the military, besides television and novels, this was the first time they heard it in real life. They did not have a clue when young master had learned about internal force. Well, there were lots of thing they did not know about. And now, they thought no more, with sparkly eyes staring at Granny Lin. The legendary "internal force," how could they not be curious; they did not believe there was really such a thing in the world.

"I am not an expert, it's just my family's martial art. I know a few steps for physical fitness only. Everyone liked to hear good words. Granny Lin was amused, and then asked: "What is the art you learned? 

Bai Jing ashamedly said: "In fact, I do not know. The one who taught me only told me how to run the internal forces. Everything else was my own study, for which I also read a lot of medical books, but everything is just an armchair strategist." 

Granny Lin face was solemm, blaming: "Your master was too irresponsible, how can internal force be practiced without rules, stick your hand out and let me see." 

Hearing that, Bai Jing was happy, obediently stretching out his hand and had Granny Lin read his pulse. 

Granny Lin frowned, fingers on his pulse force point. Her face showed more and more concern, and Bai Jing's heart sank, upset and also raising some hatred. In fact, he should have thought that the Institute would not give him anything good. It was a pity that he was too weak at that time, had not put much thinking about the internal art they taught but was only happy the internal force would be useful. 

After a while, granny Lin let go of his hand, looked up and down Bai Jing's attire and style, then was relieved. Her brow stretched, and she smiled and said: "You should have eaten some good things, your internal art is good, enhanced skills very quickly. But haste makes waste, it hurt your body a lot. Since you now are alive and kicking, I think it should be alright. But that art of yours, you still need to be cautious. "
