Heroine, don't turn back, I'm just a farmer.

"Why has my favorability rating increased again?"

It's inexplicable.

All he wants now is to find someone to stab him.

Several elders from Hengxingdao escorted Li Jiuluan down from the eaves, landing directly in the courtyard where the blacksmith shop was located.

"So many people..."

Several people's eyes twitched violently.

There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, including disciples of Hengxingdao and experts from Huajianpai.

Seeing the horrific scene and Lu Guo covered in blood, even though they arrived late, they could tell that a fierce battle had just taken place.

The elders' gazes finally settled on the corpses in the courtyard.

Liu Canyang died with his eyes wide open in disbelief, Peng Lianhu's corpse was curled up on the ground, and the Right Envoy of the Wuji Demonic Sect was embedded in the wall.

"I never imagined he would actually die at this kid's hands..."

The old man with the jade flute had a glint in his eyes.

Guo Yansheng, a scholar in a green robe, is known in the martial arts world as the Deadly Scholar. He is a man of considerable skill and intelligence.

As the Right Envoy of the Wuji Demonic Sect, he navigated between powerful factions in the Jianghuai region, the Dasheng Imperial Court, and the Six Paths of Jiangnan. Not only did he not get into trouble, but he also gained considerable prestige in the martial arts world due to his strength and methods.

This person, who seemed so difficult to deal with, is now dead, and in such an incomprehensible way.

Whether it was due to his confidence or some other reason, the old man with the jade flute never expected that a cunning person like Guo Yansheng would die so easily.

That was too hasty.

Why didn't he run away?

If you can't beat them, you can still run away, right?

The others present were surprised and found it hard to understand.

But upon further reflection, I can understand Guo Yansheng's reasons for making that choice.

If it were them, their fate might not have been any better than that of the deadly scholar.

My opponent is a whole level below me; I could crush him with one hand. Why should I avoid his sharp edge?

With such thoughts in mind, he naturally didn't take it seriously enough. He didn't know how many times the opponent's strange resurrection technique could revive him, so he went all out every time. But strength is ultimately limited, and before he knew it, he had fallen into the trap. By the time he reacted, it was too late to regret it.

This deadly scholar was not defeated by Lu Guo, but by his own arrogance and pride.

Lu Guo noticed that several more people had suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

There were only five or six people in total, not many.

Danyangzi led the way with his back bent, while the others protected the figure in the center wearing a bamboo hat, whose face was covered by a long veil, concealing her appearance.

Is this the person who's jaywalking?

"Are you the helpers of these people on the ground?" Lu Guo sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at the people in the courtyard.

"This is the person I just mentioned who runs rampant." Danyangzi said with a hint of helplessness.

Li Jiuluan looked at Lu Guo and fell into thought.

Which sect or faction does this person belong to?

Should I call him Zhao Wuji, or Lu Guo?

It was baffling that this person had two names; how should she address him? She was completely confused.

However, this was clearly not the time to think about such things. Elder Yudi glanced at Lu Guo, who was covered in blood, gestured to Li Jiuluan with his eyes, and reminded her telepathically:

"Your Highness, this man is cunning and domineering. Although he is still somewhat lacking in consideration and needs further refinement in his actions, he is a rough gem. I have seen such people before, and they all died quickly. But if he has that strange resurrection technique, it seems there is no need to worry about him dying young or violently."

The old man with the jade flute glanced around, as if recalling the wasted years when he roamed the martial world like a tyrant.

The worshippers who heard the commotion were momentarily speechless.

Although the words are rough but the principle is sound, your way of speaking is far too crude.

"I thought I would never see another talent so remarkable, but I did tonight. Your Highness, this person seems to be acting strangely. Perhaps we should take him back and discuss this further?"

As he spoke, the old man with the jade flute bowed to Li Jiuluan.

Li Jiuluan took a step forward and gently waved her hand.

Having said that, she naturally knew what she should do.

Before long, Lu Guo heard a clear, crisp voice:

"Should I call you Zhao Wuji, or Lu Guo?"

Lu looked up and saw the two people standing at the front.

An old man and a young man.

The old man was tall and thin like a bamboo pole, with a jade-green flute tucked diagonally at his waist. The young man stood in the brightest spot of the moonlight, dressed in a moon-white long robe, with a face as handsome as jade and features so refined they were almost excessive. He stood with his hands behind his back, his posture composed.

"Li Jiuluan's favorability +1".

I don't know what Li Jiuluan did, but her favorability rating has actually increased again.

"My name is Lu Guo. You can also call me Hua Wuque, but I prefer you to call me Zhao Wuji."

"..."

Li Jiuluan nodded, but it was unclear whether she had taken it all in.

"What happened today was my fault for acting recklessly. Brother Wuji, if you don't mind, please freshen up first, and then we can talk?"

1. Of course; please…

2. I'm not an ordinary person.

3. If you're willing to come with me, I'll go.

"?" Lu Guo.

As expected, only romanceable female characters will have affection and dialogue options.

His current identity is Zhao Wuji, a member of the Demonic Sect. As a member of the Demonic Sect, he can act without any scruples.

Actually, Lu Guo quite liked the name Zhao Wuji.

Wuji Wuji, just hearing the name makes you feel powerful and invincible.

So he chose 3.

"If you come with me, then I will go and have a good talk with you about the issue of the Mysterious Female Qi."

Li Jiuluan was slightly taken aback.

In this day and age, it seems like it's been a long time since anyone has spoken to her so directly, or said such unreasonable things.

Everyone wears a mask in front of her, and everything she does is hypocritical. It's been a long time since I've seen such an honest person.

Lu Guo didn't think too much about it, but he felt that choosing this option would anger the other party and cause Li Jiuluan to stab him with a sword.

That way he can die happily and then be resurrected with full health on the spot.

"Li Jiuluan's favorability +3".

"?" Lu Guo

No, you mean this.

Why?

Is something not quite right?

Lu Guo looked at Li Jiuluan and found her staring at him with an ambiguous gaze.

Looking at the men in black beside her, especially the old man with the jade flute, his eyes held three parts anger, three parts doubt, and four parts shock.

Don't save me, just kill me!

Seemingly sensing something in his gaze, the old man with the jade flute looked very pleased.

This kid is simply a genius in cultivating mental energy using my Hengxingdao technique.

Look how arrogant and domineering those words are!

However, I like it.

"Danyangzi, take Brother Zhao to the Lü residence for treatment. We'll discuss the matter of Xuanpin after he's recovered."

Having said that, Li Jiuluan, seeing the old man with the jade flute's signal in his eyes, made the arrangements without hesitation.

……

This treatment lasted for three hours.

Lu Guo, lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes blankly.

Before me was an unfamiliar ceiling, not only antique in style but also very cozy, and I could smell the specially made sandalwood incense that had a calming effect.

"You're awake?"

As soon as he opened his eyes, a somewhat familiar voice came from beside him; it was Li Jiuluan.

Lu Guo: ?

Who am I? Where am I?
