Chapter 178 Tactful reminder
"Those grown guys are not as good as a little kid like Jinbao. They have grown so big for nothing." Lin Wu said with disdain.
Jin Manlou had a different opinion on this. "You can't say that. Is Jinbao just an ordinary kid? Besides, these students are already very good. They have only been training for such a short time, but they have already learned all the moves you taught them. Give them more time, and they will definitely become even better."
"We have only just started. We have only learned the basics and are still far from becoming a master. Let's not talk about them for now. Why is my father-in-law not at home? Could it be that the girl came back during the few days I was away?"
Jin Manlou didn't expect Lin Wu's guess to be so accurate. However, is there any direct connection between Master Wen's going out and the girl's coming back?
Jin Manlou couldn't figure out the connection here, but that didn't stop him from answering Lin Wu's questions.
"Master Wen found me yesterday afternoon and told me that he had to go out of the house for something and would not be back until tomorrow at the earliest. He left after telling me why he was leaving the house, but he did not say what he was going to do specifically."
"The girl has indeed returned. She returned yesterday at noon. As soon as she returned, she wanted to look for you. I told her that you were taking the students out for special training and would not be back until today. The girl then asked me to take you to see her after you returned."
"I have been thinking about this matter, so I came here early this morning to wait for you. Who would have thought that you would come back with someone at this hour."
Jin Manlou finished speaking in one go, and suddenly a guess popped up in his mind: "Hey, do you think it's possible that the young lady asked Master Wen to go out to do something? Otherwise, how could the timing be so coincidental?"
Lin Wu did not directly answer Jin Manlou's question, but explained the reason why he came back just now.
"I did plan to come back in the morning, but this group of students didn't perform well, so I had to wait until now. I didn't know you had come here to wait for us so early in the morning. I'm really sorry for making you wait here for so long."
Jin Manlou just made a small complaint, but he didn't expect Master Wu to apologize to him so solemnly, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's just a matter of changing the office location. Master Wu, you don't have to do this."
Lin Wu simply smiled and let the matter go, and began to explain why he asked that question just now.
"I agree with your guess. My father-in-law likes to read books and doesn't like to go out. I found it incredible when I heard you say that he went out to do some work. After thinking about it carefully, I realized that the only person who could command my father-in-law is the girl. That's why I asked this question."
Jin Manlou suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
"Well, after all, this is just our personal speculation. There is no actual evidence. Whether it is true or not is actually not related to us. Instead of dwelling on this issue, it is better to solve the current problem first. Since the girl wants to see me, let's go see her first, so as not to delay too long and miss her business."
Jin Manlou nodded, "Master Wu is absolutely right..."
Seeing Jin Manlou nod in agreement, Lin Wu couldn't wait to say, "Then let's go. Where is the young lady now?"
As Lin Wu spoke, he took a step forward. In just two or three steps, he walked around Jin Manlou and headed towards the main gate of the Lin residence.
"Hey, Master Wu, wait a minute, I haven't finished speaking yet." Jin Manlou saw Lin Wu's impetuous look and waved and shouted, trying to stop him.
Lin Wu paused and turned back to look at Jin Manlou with a puzzled look on his face, "Butler Jin, what else do you want?"
Jin Manlou trotted forward and got closer to Lin Wu. He was intoxicated by the smell coming from his body and took a step back involuntarily.
"Master Wu, there's no need to be so anxious. The girl has been waiting for quite some time. You should go wash up, change into clean clothes, and shave your beard before you go with me to see the girl. If you go to see the girl like this, I'm afraid she will be unhappy."
Jin Manlou's reminder was very tactful. He felt that if Master Wu really went to see the girl directly like this, the girl would be unhappy at the very least and would probably kick him out on the spot.
Not to mention a girl like her who loves cleanliness, even a man like him couldn't stand the smell emanating from Lin Wu.
Previously, he and Master Wu were quite far away from each other, so he didn't feel the strong smell. But when he got closer, the smell emanating from Master Wu's body rushed into his nose and almost made him vomit.
I don’t know what Master Wu went through during the few days he took his men out, and how he ended up in such a horrible state.
Lin Wu understood Jin Manlou's kind reminder and subconsciously raised his arm to sniff at the tip of his nose, but smelled nothing. Then he remembered that he had accidentally gotten the scent of a wild boar on him when he was hunting it before.
His five senses were more acute than those of ordinary people. Not only was the smell unpleasant, it also persisted. This trip was to provide special training for the trainees, so everyone had only a set of clothes on their bodies, nothing else. They had to solve the problems of food and accommodation by themselves.
Since the students were like this, he, as a master, needed to set an example, so since he had no clothes to change into, he could only make do with what he had.
But as they killed more and more animals, the odor on his body became stronger and stronger, until he could no longer bear it, so he took the initiative to block his sense of smell. Without a sense of smell, he naturally could not smell anything.
When Lin Wu thought of Jin Manlou approaching him and then quickly backing away from him, he could imagine how "intoxicating" the smell on his body was at that moment.
He had no intention of restoring his sense of smell and torturing himself now, but Jin Manlou's reminder was indeed very reasonable. In his current state, he was indeed not suitable to meet the girl.
So, Lin Wu smiled and clasped his fists towards Jin Manlou, "Thank you for the reminder. I will go wash up first, and then go to see the girl with you. Butler Jin, please wait here for a while."
Jin Manlou smiled awkwardly and bowed in return, "Master Wu, there's no need to be polite. Just go wash up. We'll see you at the gate later."
"Okay." Lin Wu nodded to Jin Manlou and strode towards the backyard.
Seeing the man walking away, Jin Manlou let out a long sigh of relief and was finally able to breathe properly. While relaxing, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether Master Wu had encountered an accident like falling into a pigsty during special training, otherwise why would the smell on his body be so "heavy".
However, Jin Manlou only dared to think about it in his heart and never dared to ask out loud. Although the three Lin family members were polite to him, he always remembered what the girl had said to him.
