Under One Person: The River Map and Luoshu

The next day.

A martial arts arena.

As usual, Zhang Chulan concentrated on practicing, while the old Taoist priest and Mr. Tian gave him instructions and watched from the side. But today was a little different. In addition to the addition of Du Heng and Catherine, there was also Zhang Lingyu who had recovered his spirit.

The old Taoist priest and Mr. Tian only looked at each other a few more times, which made Zhang Lingyu feel very embarrassed. The latter knew what was going on. They were just teasing him for losing his composure because of a woman.

Du Heng standing by couldn't help laughing as well, he was quite happy to see him standing uncomfortably.

Suddenly, the old Taoist priest called out, "Lingyu!"

"My younger brother is here!" Zhang Lingyu responded in a panic.

The old Taoist priest said earnestly, "You should really learn from Xiao Heng and Chu Lan's shameless spirit. Your straightforwardness is not just honesty, but also stupidity. You will only suffer in the alien world."

As soon as these words came out, Du Heng felt unhappy, and asked with a long face: "Master, are you praising me or scolding me?"

Catherine poked his arm with her finger, "Hehe, of course I'm praising you!"

"Slippery!"

"Shameless energy!"

Catherine leaned close to his ear and repeated the old Taoist's evaluation of him in a light and slightly nasty tone.

Du Heng couldn't stand someone showing off next to him, so he crossed his arms over his chest and twisted his hips to the right, bumping into her waist.

"what!"

Catherine was unable to react in time and was knocked off balance. She instinctively grabbed his arm with both hands to prevent herself from falling.

Then she looked over indignantly, questioning him, but Du Heng ignored her, pushed her hand away and retorted to her.

"Make your mouth dry!"

"Du, you're not a gentleman." Catherine snorted to express her dissatisfaction.

The two bickered, but Zhang Lingyu was embarrassed. He was very reluctant, but he had to answer honestly: "Master, I have tried, but I can't learn it, and I can't get over it in my heart."

The reason why he could endure the endless teasing from Du Heng and Zhang Chulan yesterday was because of Xia He, even when he had difficulty accepting the strategy proposed by Du Heng.

It would be better to kill him if he were to be as shameless, bootlicking, and inhumane as these two.

The old Heavenly Master was very bored when he saw his "useless and cowardly look". He shook his head and sighed, "When I was young, the alien world said that our Heavenly Master Mansion was a gang, rude and unreasonable, and they were all bandits and thugs. How come the inheritance was cut off with you?"

"Master, Tianshi Mansion is a holy place of Taoism, dedicated to mystical cultivation. How can it be slandered like this?" Zhang Lingyu said honestly.

"Tsk tsk, when did a great sage appear in our Tianshi Mansion?" the old Tianshi said in silence.

"Master, you..." Zhang Lingyu's face turned red and then black due to being choked.

The Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master Mansion, a man of high moral character and prestige, actually followed suit and "defiled himself". He felt that the lofty image of his master began to collapse in his heart.

Du Heng took the opportunity to approach and asked, "Master, if our Tianshi Mansion is a gang, then you are still Brother Bao Ying!"

"Of course!" The old Taoist priest stroked his long beard happily and began to recount past events, saying, "When I was young, I fought with Lu Jin to celebrate the birthday of an elder of the Lu family. I slapped him so hard that he cried. Afterwards, in order to apologize, your great master punished me to kneel in public."

"Master, you are still the best! When Mr. Lu was young, he was also a genius, but you slapped him and made him cry. But after so many years, it seems that he doesn't mind at all."

“Haha, he did want to mind, but people from all the sects were there, so he had to cry and say he didn’t care, not at all.” The old Taoist priest couldn’t help laughing when he recalled the scene of that year.

Then he looked at his beloved disciple and taught him, "Lingyu, I told you these interesting stories in the hope that you can change your temperament and stop being so honest and pedantic."

Mr. Tian also agreed, "Yes, Lingyu, you are too upright and upright, which makes it easy to run into obstacles outside. In this regard, you should learn more from Xiaoheng and Chu Lan. Of course, I don't mean that you should learn to be shameless like them, but you should be more tactful."

"Brother, remember this!" Zhang Lingyu agreed reluctantly.

Hearing this, the old Taoist looked at Du Heng, then at Zhang Chulan in the field, and made up his mind. He said, "In this case, you and Chulan should go down the mountain together. Don't wander around outside for a few days and come back in a depressed state like before. Remember, you are not allowed to return to the sect without any achievement or my order."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyu panicked and asked, "Master, are you going to chase me away?"

When everyone heard this, they were all speechless, lamenting that the child was too naive.

Seeing the old Taoist holding his forehead helplessly, Du Heng couldn't help but joke, "Master, how did you teach me to be able to train my junior uncle to be so pure and untainted?"

The old Taoist priest ignored him and said to Zhang Lingyu sternly, "Okay, it's settled. When Chu Lan's trip is over, you will go down the mountain with him to gain experience!"

"Yes, disciple, I will obey your command!" Zhang Lingyu responded in a serious tone, without any intention of disobeying.

Du Heng was a little puzzled at first, why didn't the master let Zhang Lingyu follow him? But after a little thought, he understood that he was afraid that if he followed him, he would not learn bad things. Only if he followed Bilian, who was even more shameless, could he "fight poison with poison".

Just as he was daydreaming, the old Taoist priest's voice came to his ears, "Xiao Heng, come in and try it, Chu Lan!"

"Ah?" Du Heng cried out in surprise, not being able to react for a moment.

We were just chatting nicely, why did you suddenly start fighting?
"What? As the saying goes, exercise helps digestion. Chu Lan's strength has improved in just a few days, and he needs to be strengthened. Now that you are here, I am too lazy to do it, so I will let you see if your strength has improved during this period of time."

"Don't we have Junior Master-Uncle? It will be the same if he suffers the same fate!" Du Heng was too bothered by the hassle and was unwilling to move, so he had to shift the blame to someone else.

"Don't worry, everyone will have a share, and Lingyu will also be dealt with later." The old Taoist priest informed.

Seeing this, Du Heng knew he couldn't escape. "Can you let me warm up first? My body is still stiff."

"Stop talking so much nonsense!" Without waiting for him to finish, the old Taoist priest waved his wide sleeves and swept Du Heng away.

"My master, you have no moral principles!" Du Heng was flying in the air, and the voice was chasing him from behind.

His sudden intrusion made Zhang Chulan stop and look at him with a puzzled look.

The old Taoist priest said, "Chu Lan, Xiao Heng will fight with you today. Don't hold back. Use all your strength."

Du Heng's forehead was full of black lines, and he felt unbalanced. He immediately complained: "Master, shouldn't you stop at that point?"

"Just stop there, Chu Lan doesn't need it."

"Can this still happen?"
