Chapter 299: Fate has arrived, this is what it is

Things like challenging others are not uncommon in the underworld.

After all, a big tree always attracts the wind. Even a place like Shaolin has been challenged several times by people like Shi Ziguang and Xiao Sha, but this is the first time someone so young has dared to come to Chunyang Palace.

Where is Chunyang Palace?
The number one religion in the Tang Dynasty, the number one sect in the underworld!
Is this a place where anyone can just take advantage of the popularity?
Several Chunyang disciples immediately looked indignant. One of them could not hold back his anger and wanted to teach Lu Ping a lesson. He immediately stepped forward and shouted, "You little brat, you really don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! You think you can challenge the 'Chunyang Five Sons'? You have to get past us first..."

Before he could finish his words, a hand gently lifted the back of the disciple's collar and pulled him back to his original position.

The one who took action was Yu Rui!
At this time, Yu Rui's face was still calm, his face was like still water, and his eyes were calm. He did not seem to be angry at Lu Ping's words of "kicking the gym". Instead, he quietly taught the disciples behind him:
"Being impatient is the biggest taboo in cultivation. Have you forgotten your daily lessons?"

Uncle Master Yu Rui was born with a beautiful face and a gentle and sweet voice. Even when he was scolding me, he was still extremely charming!

The Chunyang disciple was immediately fascinated, and then his face turned red. He lowered his head in shame and stammered, "Uh...Uncle Yu Rui, disciple...disciple knows he was wrong."

Yu Rui then turned his gaze towards Lu Ping, examining him thoroughly from head to toe.

Yu Rui, also known as 'Qingxuzi', is one of the 'Three Wisdoms of the World' who are well-known in the martial arts world. Rather than her stunning appearance, people in the martial arts world praise her more for her talent and intelligence.

In Chunyang Palace, the two words "Yu Rui" are almost synonymous with words such as extensive knowledge, quick thinking, keen insight, and extraordinary wisdom.

From the first moment he saw Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin, Yu Rui keenly realized that the two people in front of him were not simple.

As for Shen Jianxin, she could sense the immature, yet powerful, inner strength in him, which was like a young seedling born in spring. She knew that the man in front of her was not an ordinary person who didn't know martial arts.

But towards Lu Ping, she had a strange feeling that he was hard to see through and hard to touch, as ethereal as wind, clouds and smoke.

Although he is not as close to the Way of Heaven as his master, who is not as simple and natural, and has a restrained and brilliant spirit, he is still good enough to compete with his two senior brothers.

At that moment, Yu Rui understood that the young man in front of him was most likely the one who had just swung that shocking sword.

But she couldn't understand, is there really such a genius in this world who could practice martial arts to such an incredible level at the age of a teenager?
Or is it that the person in front of me is actually an old monster who has the secret to maintaining his youth?
Pulling the disciple back to prevent him from bringing disgrace upon himself, Yu Rui looked at Lu Ping and said slowly after his Dao heart collapsed: "The Chunyang Palace has always valued peace, and it also forbids the disciples from competing with others."

"If you want to compete in a martial arts competition, you will be disappointed today."

In a nutshell: don’t fight.

Lu Ping's mouth twitched.

Do you want to listen to what you are saying?
Chunyang Palace values ​​harmony? It prohibits disciples from competing with others?

Qi Jin is such a big guy and he is standing right next to you, and you are lying with your eyes open?
"If you don't want to fight, then don't fight."

Lu Ping smiled calmly: "Since this is the case, I don't want to force you to do anything. I will just travel around Huashan to my heart's content."

Yu Rui didn't seem to expect that Lu Ping would give up the idea so easily. For a moment, he suddenly became a little doubtful about whether Lu Ping came to challenge him, but he didn't ask too much for the time being.

Then he looked at Shen Jianxin beside Lu Ping and asked, "Does this young man have the same plan?"

"that is not!"

Shen Jianxin blurted out, stood at attention and raised his hands reflexively, and said loudly: "We just happened to meet on the road, so we went up the mountain together."

"I came here to join the Chunyang Palace, learn advanced martial arts, and become a hero respected by everyone!"

After hearing this, several people's expressions eased a little and they nodded slightly.

Compared to competing with the Five Chunyang Sons, this dream is much more simple!
But it’s not an easy thing either.

Yu Rui thought for a few seconds, shook his head and said, "Now is not the time for Chunyang Palace to recruit people, young man..."

She was about to refuse, but before she could finish her words, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the fragment of the Chunyang Book in Shen Jianxin's hand. She immediately fixed her eyes, stopped talking, and asked, "What's in your hand..."

Shen Jianxin was stunned, and raised the Chunyang Book and said, "This? I just picked it up."

Yu Rui was stunned: "Picked it up?"

"Yes, just now..."

Shen Jianxin has now read the contents of the Chunyang Special Volume and knows that it is just an essay. What Lu Ping said before about the "Chunyang Palace's supreme mental method" is simply nonsense.

Although he had some understanding in his mind after reading it, and seemed to have a vague comprehension, he could not express clearly what he had gained. Therefore, he did not care about the book and told it in detail what had just happened.

After listening to Shen Jianxin's story, he and Qi Jin looked at each other, and they were both surprised at this strange experience.

Yu Rui was very smart and he immediately realized that the inner strength he had just felt from Shen Jianxin must be related to the book in his hand.

"Can you lend me the book you have in your hand?"

"Of course." Shen Jianxin handed over the book.

Yu Rui took the book, flipped through it, looked at the contents and nodded secretly: "It is indeed Master's handwriting! It seems that this essay was written by Master without any mistake."

Qi Jin has always been an extreme person, but he has great respect for Lu Dongbin, who enlightened him. Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel curious: "If it's my master's thing, why did he pick it up?"

Yu Rui chuckled and explained, "Master left behind countless things in Huashan in his early years. Just for similar books, his disciples have picked up dozens of them. I collected them all after I found out about it." "It's not surprising that there's one more book now."

After that, Yu Rui looked at Shen Jianxin again: "Since you were able to pick up this fragment, it can be considered that you have a connection with my Chunyang Palace, so I will give you this opportunity."

"You will come with me up the mountain later. When you meet the head brother, explain this matter to him. I think he will agree to accept you into Chunyang Palace."

Hearing this, Shen Jianxin was overjoyed, his eyes lit up: "Really?!"

Yu Rui smiled and nodded slightly: "Of course."

After getting the definite guarantee, Shen Jianxin became even more excited and almost flew up. Fortunately, he finally took into consideration that there were people watching around and did not act too crazy.

So Qi Jin and Yu Rui walked in front, Lu Ping and Shen Jianxin followed behind, and the four of them walked up the mountain together.

Along the way, Yu Rui asked a few questions from time to time to find out the two people's origins.

Firstly, Shen Jianxin was not a scheming person, and secondly, he felt that Yu Rui was not a bad person. After just a few words, he was tricked into revealing his past, even his previous salary as a security guard in Daoxiang Village.

Upon learning that Shen Jianxin had never practiced any decent martial arts before, Yu Rui became more certain of his previous guess.

But when Yu Rui brought up the topic of Lu Ping, Shen Jianxin found it difficult to cope. After all, he didn't know much about Lu Ping.

"If my guess is correct, the sword energy that spread across Huashan just now should have been emitted by Young Master Lu, right?"

"Master Qingxu really has sharp eyes and saw the truth at a glance. Yes, that sword energy was indeed emitted by me!"

Just now, Shen Jianxin had already told Lu Ping about the avalanche they encountered. Considering the circumstances, it was not difficult to draw this inference, so Lu Ping generously admitted it.

"It was only because there was an avalanche in front of me that I acted this way to protect myself. I did not intend to provoke Chunyang Palace. If I was disrespectful, please forgive me, Master."

"Avalanches are natural disasters. Since we are protecting ourselves, how can we say that it is rude?"

After the misunderstanding was resolved, Yu Rui and Qi Jin finally felt relieved. Then they couldn't help but ask curiously, "I didn't expect that Young Master Lu, at such a young age, has already mastered such advanced martial arts, surpassing many people in the martial arts world!"

"But I don't know what school or sect your master is from?"

"Well..."

Lu Ping fell into deep thought for a moment. He knew that Yu Rui was not only asking about his master, but also about his origins.

In fact, "coming from other martial arts worlds" is not a big deal. After all, there have been people who have ventured into various martial arts worlds in the past, such as Li Bai from Changge Sect.

What Lu Ping was worried about was the stability of the space passage he came through.

He was afraid that after someone knew of the existence of this road, they would be unable to resist the temptation to open it and go to Nanwulin to take a look, thus bringing disaster to both places.

But Chunyang Palace is no different from other forces!

First of all, most people who practice Taoism are quiet and inactive. After knowing the reason, they will definitely not cause trouble.

Secondly, the five Chunyang disciples in the sect are all just, as are the second and third generation disciples. They are completely different from Fang Heying, whom he had met before, who was in love and almost crazy because of unrequited love.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that telling them my true origins will not have any bad consequences. Maybe if there is a problem with the channel in the future, I can ask them for help.

After all, Chunyang Palace has the nearly immortal Lu Zu above it to suppress it, and the Li Tang Dynasty behind it to worship it. Although it has only a few hundred disciples, it is the real big brother of the Tang Dynasty underworld. No one dares to provoke it, and no one disrespects it.

After figuring this out, Lu Ping no longer hesitated and readily revealed his entire background.

"In fact, I am not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Southern Wulin. I heard the details..."

Soon, the story was over.

Upon learning that Lu Ping was actually a warrior from Southern Wulin, Yu Rui and Qi Jin were indeed surprised, shocked and amazed.

Then, the two learned that Lu Ping came here to close the space passage in order to protect Dongwulin from the murderous hands of ambitious people, and stayed here alone. They admired his spirit of sacrifice even more.

After this, Lu Ping could feel that the relationship between the two sides had become noticeably closer. The other party's attitude during communication had softened a lot, and the previous vague sense of vigilance had gradually faded away.

After being surprised and impressed, Yu Rui, who has always had a strong curiosity about the unknown, couldn't help but ask about the situation in Southern Wulin.

For example, whether there is a court in the Southern Wulin, what is the cultural atmosphere like, whether martial arts is flourishing, how many people practice Taoism...

Some of the questions were so obscure that even Lu Ping himself was not clear about them and could only answer them vaguely and reluctantly.

Finally, Yu Rui once again expressed his sincere praise for Lu Ping's previous sword energy and asked him how he did it.

"...As for my teacher, I really can't tell you."

"But if the two masters are willing to spar with me in martial arts, perhaps they can see something."
