From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"What do you mean by 'men and women shouldn't touch each other'? In the countryside, people your age are already married!"

Wang Baoling was a lively and bold girl. With her hands on her hips and her chest out, she declared righteously, "If you give in to me, I guarantee you'll eat big steamed buns every day from now on!"

"It's not necessary!"

Lu Jin broke out in a cold sweat and made an excuse, "Besides, I don't plan to deplete my vital energy before I've mastered my cultivation."

"Who are you trying to fool?"

Wang Baoling sneered, "My father said that doing only that kind of thing won't deplete your vital energy!"

Boom!

Wang Baozhi gently tapped Wang Baoling's head with a rolling pin and scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! Dad never said anything like that!"

"You damn father! How dare you deny it? Mother already told me... Waaah!"

Wang Baozhi immediately covered his daughter's mouth and said to Lu Jin with a forced smile, "Vice President, please don't mind her. My daughter is just a loose tongue, so don't believe her."

Lu Jin: "..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, our vice president will definitely believe it," Jiang Liu said with a chuckle.

Lu Jin: “￣□￣｜｜”

Wang Baozhi: “￣□￣｜｜”

"Brother Jiang, I'm not a child anymore, do you have to tease me like this?" Lu Jin said, resting his chin on his hand, speechless.

Are you eighteen?

Jiang Liu said in a serious tone, "No, that's a child. On the contrary, I'm already eighteen."

"Wait, you're only seventeen, aren't you?"

Lu Jin was suspicious.

“You’re considered one year old the day you were born, so you’re exactly eighteen,” Jiang Liu said with conviction. “Therefore, I am the president, and you are the ‘vice’ president.”

Is this the difference between the president and the vice president?

This is clearly sophistry!

Just as Lu Jin was about to retort, Jiang Liu asked Wang Baoling, "Baoling, I remember that ever since you took a liking to Lu Jin, you've come here every day to help your father, just to wait for him. It seems you're late today?"

"No way!"

Wang Baoling didn't mind boldly expressing her love for Lu Jin herself, but if someone exposed her feelings, she would become shy and deny it, saying, "I just think Lu Jin looks very good in women's clothing."

Lu Jin: "..."

The last time I was this speechless was the time before last.

As for making Lu Jin dress as a woman—

In order to bring extraordinary people closer to ordinary people, chivalry is indispensable. Although the Qinglong Society in Yuhang City has been destroyed, there are still other gangs and petty thieves.

therefore.

Every night, Lu Jin and Hong Guniang would transform into "superheroes" to eliminate evil and maintain peace in the city.

It wasn't Jiang Liu who forced them to do it; they took the initiative themselves. Sai Huohou, Dili Chui, and the eight apprentices would sometimes act as the two men's followers.

Because of her past experiences, Hong Guniang had no good feelings towards the bullies and gangsters in the city. The wealthy businessman who tried to force her to become his concubine was, in fact, a complete criminal.

And Lu Jin's words—

Perhaps it was the onset of puberty, a gradual shift towards a more immature, and the fact that his cousin Lu Mingfei was the one who was giving a big report on the matter, gave him a sense of satisfaction in being a hero.

However, the only thing that made Lu Jin feel somewhat awkward was that the girl in red, dressed as Plum Blossom Thirteen, was wearing a light green cheongsam, while he was dressed in white. The people in the city mistook them for the incarnations of the Green and White Snakes after the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda…

The common people don't care whether Lu Jin or Hong Guniang appeared first, or whether Leifeng Pagoda collapsed first; as long as they all come together, that's all that matters!

When Lu Jin performed acts of chivalry at night, he wore a mask, just like Hong Guniang, to avoid his true identity being discovered. His hair gradually grew longer, and he was dressed in white, so he was naturally recognized as the incarnation of "White Snake".

Furthermore.

Lu Mingfei, the newspaper owner on Cultural Street, was a bit cunning. He decided to play along, using the situation to conceal the true identities of the two women, directly labeling Hong Gu Niang and Lu Jin as the "Two Beauties of Qingbai"—

He, Lu Jin, is clearly a man!

But nobody cared...

This has also led to a new adaptation of the legend of the White Snake. In people's previous understanding, the White Snake Lady was a graceful, generous, and dignified beautiful woman, while Xiaoqing was a clever and quirky maid, who could at most be considered "a budding lotus."

However, the appearance of the "Blue and White Twin Beauties" broke this previous perception!

Why must the White Snake Lady be a plump, dignified, and elegant beauty? And why must Xiaoqing be a thin maid?

A maid can be much more mature than her mistress!

This has been the case since ancient times, but most scholars and writers would not allow a maid to "steal the show" when writing a book.

Therefore, after the "Two Beauties of Qing and Bai" gained fame in Yuhang, many intellectuals began writing articles to challenge people's preconceived notions...

It was tough on Lu Jin, who was mistaken for an underdeveloped girl.

As for Wang Baoling—

Like many other people in the city, she was a fan and supporter of the "Two Beauties of Qingbai".

She didn't know that Lu Jin was "Bai Jiao," but she felt that Lu Jin's figure was very similar to that of "Bai Jiao," and their hairstyles were also similar. If Lu Jin were dressed as a woman, she would definitely look very good.

# Chapter 250 Martial Arts Tournament

"Lu Jin, why don't you try wearing women's clothes in the future?"

Jiang Liu also became interested.

Lu Jin stared intently at Jiang Liu for a long while, giving him a "eat shit" look (ノ｀Д)ノ before finally uttering a single word:

"roll!"

Even if Jiang Liu is his beloved friend and family!

How dare you make such a joke!

Lu Jin could no longer tolerate it!

After the little incident, Wang Baoling explained why she was late today: "There are two things. First, that smiling tiger surnamed Sun is going to hold a martial arts tournament in Hangzhou. He has already posted notices in the downtown area. He will set up a martial arts arena by West Lake in a month. It is said that he has invited all the well-known sects in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi."

Those interested in participating can also register on-site!

The prize money is said to be ten thousand silver dollars!

Many ordinary people in the city who feel they have some strength plan to sign up after January!

Jiang Liu had heard about the martial arts tournament when Sun the Smiling Tiger entered Yuhang, but he didn't expect it to have been prepared for a whole year.

Jiang Liu could guess the purpose of holding the martial arts tournament. It was probably just that Smiling Tiger wanted to bring good luck, since Leifeng Pagoda had collapsed when he entered the city.

The smiling tiger appeared indifferent, but deep down he believed in gods and ghosts.

Furthermore, the sudden emergence of the "Two Beauties of Qing and Bai" over the past year has made him somewhat uneasy...

Therefore, after rebuilding the Yue Wang Temple, the smiling tiger was still uneasy, so he started organizing this martial arts conference, inviting all the sects and extraordinary people in his territory to participate.

Jiang Liu guessed that, besides putting his mind at ease, the purpose was probably to unify the forces of the supernatural and use them for his own purposes.

Throughout history, which emperor or ancestor didn't want to recruit extraordinary people to their own cause?

It can stabilize the state and protect the monarchy!

None of them succeeded.

On a smaller scale, perhaps the purpose is also to have the victor expose the "Blue and White Twins"—

From this perspective, the fact that the Smiling Tiger would hold a martial arts tournament is a butterfly effect caused by Jiang Liu.

As an aside, Zhao Liren is still the captain of the detective team. He once tried to use someone else to do his dirty work, but given his status, he couldn't even get a glimpse of that smiling tiger.

"After that, Yuhang became very lively."

Lu Jin was surprised, "There are quite a few sects from Jiangzhe, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi, and the Sanyi Sect is also in this area..."

One thing will be without a doubt.

That means he will meet his fellow disciples from the San Yi Sect a month from now.

Ordinary minor warlords dare not disrespect the Sanyi Sect, but that smiling tiger surnamed Sun is different; he has hundreds of thousands of troops across five provinces!

Although the quality varies, they all have guns and cannons. Not to mention the Sanyi Sect, even Longhu Mountain would have to back down and would have to send people to participate in this martial arts tournament later!

In ancient times, even extraordinary people could not defeat an army composed of ordinary people, let alone modern soldiers with guns and cannons.

How many cannonballs can the Golden Light Mantra withstand?

Even if the high-level martial arts skills are impressive, if Longhu Mountain were bombarded by cannons a few times, wouldn't the naturally formed feng shui energy be destroyed?

As long as that smiling tiger isn't determined to destroy Buddhism and Taoism, most of the major Buddhist and Taoist sects, as well as various extraordinary families, adhere to the principle of "harmony is paramount."

That is, to give that Mr. Sun some face!

People with extraordinary abilities, especially those from sects or families, generally don't like dealing with officials. However, if they are approached by officials, they can only comply as long as it doesn't violate their own principles of conduct.

"Brother Jiang, do we need to go to the site to register?" Lu Jin asked.

"Let's see how things go in the next month, but I'll probably just go and join in the fun."

Jiang Liu, however, was not in a hurry and asked about the second matter.

"The second thing is that a Taoist priest in the Yue Wang Temple got into an argument with the theater owner, Mr. Cha, and they even got into a fight, which attracted a crowd of worshippers..."

Jiang Liu was astonished to hear that Boss Cha had a dispute with a Taoist priest at Yue Wang Temple and that they had fought in front of ordinary people.

If it were just Boss Cha alone, Jiang Liu wouldn't be surprised.

After all, although Boss Cha is an extraordinary person, he doesn't mingle in the extraordinary person world at all, and his way of thinking is almost the same as that of ordinary people.

But why did the Taoist priest in the temple also join in his nonsense?

At the very least, we should go to a place where there are no outsiders, such as the back courtyard of a temple.

then.
