Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 96 Fireflies in a Drunken Dream, A Gentle Night Breeze

He walked past Lu Wubing.

Lin Wenjing noticed that her junior brother and his pet were both secretly glancing at the food box in her hand.

The rather comical little black cat even twitched its nose, stuck out its little tongue, and licked its whiskers, clearly looking for something to eat.

"How about we eat something?"

Seventh Senior Sister hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, feeling a little embarrassed.

"No need, it wouldn't be good if Senior Brother didn't get anything to eat later. Little Cat isn't greedy at all."

Lu Wubing was extremely embarrassed.

He quickly picked up the little guy and rubbed its head hard.

Kitty, be more reserved and don't be so greedy... We'll prepare some small fish for you after your shift.

"Okay, when you have time, I'll prepare something delicious for you."

Lin Wenjing smiled gently, no longer bothering with formalities, and took the lead.

The two remained silent the whole way, and soon they arrived at the highest point behind the cliff.

Here, like a pillar, a high platform rises up.

There was a small house up there, with figures moving about in front of it and the wind howling; they were clearly practicing swordsmanship.

As he practiced his swordplay, he murmured, "Drunkenly dancing with three thousand swords, I walk alone under the moon..."

It was Yue Lingfeng's voice.

Upon arriving here, Lin Wenjing seemed like a different person; her steps became smaller and smaller until she could barely walk.

He wanted to go up, but hesitated. He just stared blankly at the young man dancing with a sword on the platform, momentarily mesmerized.

"Seventh Senior Sister, how about we drink this wine ourselves?"

Lu Wubing found it amusing and quietly asked from the side.

"What are you saying? I'll definitely get you drunk another day, and no amount of pleading will help."

Lin Wenjing rolled her eyes at him, her expression becoming much more natural. With a few leaps, she reached the platform.

"Senior Brother, look what I brought!"

"Oh, braised rabbit meat and peach blossom wine, Seventh Junior Sister really understands me."

Yue Lingfeng sheathed his sword, leaped into the air, and arrived in front of Lin Wenjing.

Without even using chopsticks, he opened the food box, grabbed a handful of rabbit meat, stuffed it into his mouth, took a few bites, and swallowed it. Then he picked up the small jar and gulped down a large mouthful, letting out a long, satisfying sigh:

“This is the life of the gods… I was feeling down earlier, and there was no wine or drink prepared on the mountain. I didn’t know how I would get through this long night.”

"Just a little to satisfy your craving is fine. Master instructed you to prepare well for the Three Sects Competition and not to let drinking interfere with your work."

Lin Wenjing murmured.

"Enough with the nonsense. What do you know? The competition is just a formality. Seventh Junior Sister, don't you know that the disciples of Jin Yutang and Meng Hu Jian are all scoundrels? How could the likes of Shen Wanjian and Yu Qingshan be a match for me?"

Yue Lingfeng curled his lip, not caring at all: "While Master hasn't returned to the mountain, let's let Senior Brother enjoy a few good days first, so as not to spoil the fun."

As he spoke, he took another leisurely swig of wine and turned to ask, "By the way, how's the stuff I asked you to prepare coming along? Junior Sister should still be awake by now, so I'll go check on her."

"We caught quite a few." Lin Wenjing lowered her head and picked up the black cloth cage, her voice slightly low.

Lifting the black cloth revealed a round cage wrapped in white gauze, inside which countless fluorescent lights flickered.

"Very well, the light flows in my palm, and the Milky Way enters my dream. Junior Sister will surely be very happy to see this."

Lin Wenjing's eyes welled up with tears, and she remained silent for a moment.

Lu Wubing stood quietly in the shadows below, watching. For some reason, he felt that her tall and robust body was trembling slightly in the cold night wind.

After a while, when Yue Lingfeng had drunk half a jar of wine in one go, Lin Wenjing finally mustered up her courage again: "Senior Brother, I think that although Junior Sister is very playful, she is very kind-hearted and may not want to see so many fireflies trapped. Perhaps we should have her practice swordsmanship more with her..."

"I never expected that you, a tomboy, would have such a delicate mind... Haha, don't give me any bad advice, I know what I'm doing. Go on, keep a close watch on the back mountain at night, and don't send out signal arrows unless necessary."

Yue Lingfeng waved his hand, took a couple of sips of wine, ate a bite of food, then picked up the gauze cage filled with fireflies, looking at it with satisfaction, a hint of intoxication in his eyes.

I don't know what wonderful thing came to mind.

Lin Wenjing's eyes dimmed slightly, and she slowly walked down the steps with her head drooping, her steps becoming much heavier.

He was a completely different person from when he arrived, full of excitement and trepidation.

"Seventh Senior Sister, shall we continue our night patrol?"

Lu Wubing turned around, pretending that he hadn't heard or seen anything, and asked in a serious tone.

He felt embarrassed for Lin Wenjing for just a moment.

Senior Brother is truly inhuman. However, no matter how you look at it, it's none of my business to interfere.

not to mention……

Thinking of Senior Sister Xiaolan, Lu Wubing found it inexplicably funny.

This is a big deal.

Lin Wenjing recovered quickly. Upon hearing this, she shook her head, and her dark eyes instantly brightened. She whispered, "We need to patrol carefully later and not miss a single place. Try to make things look good and don't disturb Senior Brother or affect his sword practice."

What a load of crap about swordsmanship.

I didn't see that after that guy had eaten and drunk his fill, he even planned to use the "fireflies" to win over Senior Sister Xiaolan.

I just wanted to be lazy.

These words are not appropriate for a junior disciple who has just arrived on the mountain.

Lu Wubing simply nodded and smiled, "I'll do whatever Seventh Senior Sister says."

"That's good. You've just arrived on the mountain, so there's no need to rush into exerting yourself. By the way, remember to stay close to me tonight and don't stray too far. Even if something happens, don't be afraid, your senior sister is here."

"it is good."

Lu Wubing quickly agreed.

Didn't say much.

He felt that his seventh senior sister spoke very tactfully and was considerate of his self-esteem.

They said there was no need to rush to exert effort.

It's obvious he's indirectly saying that he's just arrived on the mountain, his swordsmanship and internal energy are beginners, his strength is weak, and he's not of much use.

From this, it can be inferred that the disciples on the mountain were unaware of how he and Senior Sister Xiaolan had escaped the pursuit of the East Sea Sword Sect, destroyed Chaoyang Village, and fought against underworld masters.

Even if you hear a little bit of news, it's just hearsay.

Most people believed that the enemies they encountered on the road were not formidable, and that Ouyang Lan's skills were more than enough to handle them.

"Tonight's shift, the front mountain direction, is mainly led by Fifth Senior Brother Zheng Yuanbin and Sixth Senior Brother Yuan Fei. One of them has a sharp swordsmanship, and the other is good at archery. They also have a dog with them. It will be easy for them to guard the front mountain. We don't need to worry about anything."

Along the way, Lin Wenjing recounted in detail some of the things that happened on the mountain.

Lu Wubing then realized that his group actually consisted of six people: two personal disciples and four ordinary disciples from the Mirror Heart Hall.

Normally, when nothing happens, we are on duty for one day and then rest for one day.

Actually, I'm not tired.

However, the situation is different now that there is a shortage of experts on the mountain.

Not only was Master not at home, but Second Senior Brother was still in Jiangzhou, and Third Senior Brother had gone to Jiling.

Recently, another incident occurred where the enemy infiltrated the sect at night, so they haven't been able to take turns resting.

We must stand guard every night to prevent any sudden night attack by the enemy.

"Fourth Senior Brother is on duty at Tianxing Hall, serving as a link between the front and back peaks. In case of an enemy attack, the entire peak will be on alert."

When Lu Wubing passed by the Tianxing Hall, he met his fourth senior brother, Zhang Dexing.

This senior brother Zhang still had a round, smiling face and looked very gentle.

He led four disciples from the Mirror Heart Hall to greet him, and said with a smile, "It's Junior Brother's first time patrolling the mountain today, so he shouldn't overwork himself. Dong Ning, Teng Fang, you and the others will have to work hard and run errands. Be sure to follow the orders of Junior Sister Lin and Junior Brother Lu."

"Yes, we will not be negligent."

"Fourth Senior Brother, what are you saying? Senior Sister Lin's swordsmanship and martial arts are formidable, and Senior Brother Lu is a young prodigy with extraordinary talent. We junior brothers and sisters are too busy praising him to dare to be disrespectful."

"That's the truth."

Zhang Dexing burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The atmosphere was quite nice.

However, when they said goodbye to Zhang Dexing and headed to the back mountain, walking in two lines, Lu Wubing discovered that he was being followed by people in front and behind him.

This attitude suggests that they are treating themselves like a frail, sickly person.

It was a kind intention.

However, being huddled together makes it difficult to respond to different situations.

If you encounter a formidable enemy and launch a surprise attack, you will be at a disadvantage.

All the senior and junior disciples around him had to fall down.
