Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 81 Declaration of Sovereignty
"Judging by the time, it's about time. The news of Gong Wuying's corpse being left exposed on the street should have reached the ears of the owner of [Shuofang Pavilion] by now..."

Lu Wubing carried a long sword and a bundle, slowly passing through Qiuyang Street.

Strangely, even though I was discovered during my nighttime exploration last night, there was still no reaction here. The shops along the street in front of me were still open, just like usual.

"Both sides are very composed."

Lu Wubing glanced at it once and then looked away.

My mind is already made up.

The calmer things appear on the surface, the more turbulent and unpredictable things are underneath.

He could even sense a chilling aura beneath the calm surface.

Gently stroking the cat in his arms, Lu Wubing walked straight ahead.

"Hey, isn't that Junior Brother Lu, who just started his training?"

Just as I passed Zuihu Residence, I heard a shout coming from inside.

Looking through the doorway, one could see a table in the center of the hall where people were drinking heartily.

The one who spoke was a lean young man dressed in tight-fitting clothes and carrying a long sword.

"Sixth Senior Brother, and Eldest Senior Brother, what a coincidence! You're still down the mountain, having a drink."

Lu Wubing was somewhat surprised.

Looking up, I saw that besides the shrewd and capable-looking sixth senior brother Yuan Fei, there was also a tall, handsome young man with an elegant demeanor.

Who else could it be but Yue Lingfeng, the eldest disciple of the Tianxing Sect?
The eldest brother's face was flushed from drinking, but his eyes remained clear. He downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and laughed, "Junior Brother Lu is also down the mountain. Come, come, it's a rare encounter, let's drink together."

He glanced at the bundle behind Lu Wubing and frowned slightly.

"No, no, I won't disturb your drinking time, senior brother. This trip down the mountain to visit relatives has taken a bit too long. I don't know if my master's wife will blame me when we get back."

Lu Wubing shook his head and politely declined.

If I saw it at a normal time.

I should at least treat my two senior brothers to a few drinks.

He was preoccupied with something, secretly calculating how many people would escape if something happened to the Shuofang Pavilion. Would the leader of the East Sea Sword Sect manage to escape alive?

Although I harbor some unrealistic ideas.

Lu Wubing was still very pragmatic, judging that the cunning East Sea Sect Leader might not be so easily defeated in the city.

Most likely, we won't be able to keep him.

However, it won't be so easy for the other party to escape unscathed.

These days, I've been trying to find out about Jin Yutang from various sources, and I've also met Shen Liancheng in person.

Lu Wubing learned more about this Uncle Shen and realized that the other party was not as simple as he seemed.

The secret information he sent was undoubtedly very important to Jin Yutang or Shen Liancheng himself.

It was a matter of life and death.

Unless Shen Liancheng is so oblivious as to disregard his own life, he will inevitably take action.

Moreover, they will take full action.

I just don't know what excuse he'll use to start this trouble.

In this situation, Lu Wubing would naturally leave the city ahead of time, preparing to ambush and kill his prey. He wanted to see if he could steal a chicken.

Leave Gu Dongting here permanently.

"Sigh... Why are you in such a hurry to leave? It's not easy to meet my junior brother. We didn't even get a chance to get together on the mountain that day. We should at least have a drink together."

Sixth Senior Brother Yuan Fei enthusiastically pulled Lu Wubing into the restaurant, poured him a glass of emerald green wine, and raised it with a cheerful laugh, saying, "Just one drink, Junior Brother, are you going back to the mountain? You know, with Master's wife, especially Junior Sister, this and that..."

Lu Wubing immediately understood; it turned out he was worried that he would report him.

You should have said it earlier.

He picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, then laughed and said, "Don't worry, Sixth Senior Brother, I didn't see you or Eldest Senior Brother down the mountain, and I didn't know about your drinking. By the way, last time we met, you said you were going to catch a thief, did you succeed?"

"No, the thief hasn't made any moves lately, and we don't know where he's hiding. We're at a loss for what to do..."

Yue Lingfeng was very pleased to hear that Lu Wubing did not complain. He thought that although his junior brother looked like a pretty boy who only knew how to seduce women, his temperament was actually quite good.

"Junior Brother Lu, after we return to the mountain, if there is anything you don't understand about swordsmanship, feel free to ask your senior brother."

He patted his chest, looking very generous, and then said after thinking for a moment, "My fellow disciples on the mountain usually love to challenge me to sword duels, but my junior sister is a bit lazy. I have to use all sorts of tricks to coax her into practicing... It's been a real headache trying to get her to be diligent."

“Senior Sister Xiaolan is indeed not very diligent in practicing swordsmanship.” Lu Wubing’s eyes flickered slightly, he shook his head and smiled, cupped his hands and said, “Then I’d like to thank you in advance, Senior Brother. I’ll toast you.”

Now that they were at the dinner table, Lu Wubing naturally wouldn't be ignorant of proper etiquette.

In particular, he realized that Senior Brother Yue was very straightforward, but also really concerned about saving face.

Since he offered to teach me swordsmanship, I certainly can't ask Senior Sister Xiaolan for swordsmanship guidance anymore.

If I go to see her again, wouldn't that be embarrassing for my senior brother?

"Good, good, I really envy Brother Lu, being able to learn from him face to face day and night. Brother Yue's swordsmanship is truly superb, even among the older generation of masters, few can match him."

A handsome young man in white robes next to him also raised his glass to join in the fun, but suddenly changed the subject: "Brother Yue's swordsmanship is superb, that's fine, but what's most enviable is the chivalrous reputation of Brother Yue and your junior sister. I heard that you once created a set of swordsmanship called 'Wind and Cloud Sword Technique' together, which was highly praised by Senior Qin."

"Who is this?"

Lu Wubing asked in confusion.

This man was sitting at the same table with Yue Lingfeng and Yuan Fei. Judging from his wealthy young master attire, he must have come from a distinguished family.

However, Lu Wubing actually had no interest in associating with strangers.

He's not the type of person who likes making friends.

In particular, this person had been squinting at me ever since I entered, and his gaze made me feel slightly uncomfortable.

He initially thought he was mistaken.

Unexpectedly, this guy's first words were like jabbing salt into a wound.

He must have heard of her name before; he was joking while trying to curry favor with Yue Lingfeng, and he must have something in mind.

Yue Lingfeng chuckled and said, "This is Young Master Yusheng, the young master of Shuofang Pavilion. His Yellow Sand Sword Technique is quite remarkable. Junior Brother, please get to know him."

"Not at all, it's just an ordinary sword technique that's not up to par. I was thinking of asking Brother Yue to put in a good word for me and see if I could also become a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect. Then we could become fellow disciples and be close to each other day and night, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Tong Yusheng spoke kindly, praising Yue Lingfeng highly in her words, but she did not forget Lu Wubing.

He cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Lu, if you're not in a hurry, why don't you join us at the table? If I were Brother Lu, I would certainly not miss this rare opportunity to get closer to Senior Brother Yue... With Senior Brother Yue's protection, I no longer need to worry about the safety of my family in Mingyang City."
