From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"I want to join the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe!"

But the reality was beyond Jiang Liu's expectations.

After the preliminary rounds ended that day, Miss Liu went to the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, put her hands on her hips, and looked aggressive, as if she wanted Jiang Liu to take responsibility.

Beside her were the two sisters, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, who clearly wanted to join as well.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu asked Miss Liu, "Sister Liu, you didn't run away from home, did you?"

"No...no, that's not true!"

As if her thoughts had been exposed, Miss Liu's eyes darted away, and she vehemently denied it.

[Confirmed!]

[This is truly a case of running away from home!]

"Don't change the subject." Miss Liu straightened her chest again and said righteously, "Also, you lied to me on stage before!"

Don't think I'm stupid!

Let me tell you, I'm actually incredibly clever most of the time!

Jiang Liu: "..."

He now strongly suspects that this Miss Liu may be possessed by Feng Baobao!

"And us too!" X2

Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu also joined in the fun.

Xiao Yun said, "I once swore that anyone who could surpass me in supernatural abilities would either die or—"

"Offer yourself in return?"

Jiang Liu could already guess the outcome.

"Let's become sworn brothers!"

Xiao Yun choked for a moment, but then gave a different result.

“Me too!” Xiao Yu echoed.

"Aren't you two women?"

Jiang Liu was somewhat speechless: |￣□￣|

"Don't worry about the details," Xiao Yun said casually with a smile.

"What? You look down on women? Can't women swear brotherhood with men?" Xiao Yu asked seriously.

"······able!"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu uttered a single word, but then asked, "By the way, you two didn't run away from home either, did you?"

"Absolutely not!" X2

[Confirmed!]

Absolutely!

And the girl in red was already cracking her knuckles—

"Okay, I don't care about the details, but I have to make one thing clear: if your families come looking for you, just don't say that I kidnapped you."

Jiang Liu set the rules: "Secondly, you must follow instructions."

"Relax! Relax!"

After Miss Liu finished speaking, her stomach started rumbling loudly, and she asked, "Can we eat now? I'm starving!"

"Me too!"

X2

Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu also stared longingly at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu: "..."

[As expected! These three runaway heiresses are looking for a long-term meal ticket!]

This is the end.

Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu, and Miss Liu then joined the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe.

Besides needing to earn their own living after leaving home, Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu also came to learn from Jiang Liu, hoping to achieve the goal of "great sound is silent" in the art of exhaling qi.

It would be a bit awkward to take a boy who is about the same age as them as her as her master, so it would be better to just become "brothers" directly.

As for Miss Liu?

She belatedly realized that Jiang Liu had been deceiving her on the stage, and that she had indeed run away from home and needed to find a place to settle down.

That's not it—

There was a reason for it.

After temporarily resolving these three "troubles," Jiang Liu's gaze fell upon Lü Ci.

"Jiang Liu, go all out and let me see if you are really as strong as Zhang Zhiwei."

Jiang Liu had previously promised Lü Ci that they would have a match in the afternoon, but now—

Lü Ci also came looking for them.

Just as Lü Ci finished speaking, Jiang Liu took a step forward, effortlessly dodging a blue burst of energy that emerged from the ground where he had been standing.

With just this one step, he appeared before Lü Ci as if he had shrunk the distance to an inch.

"So fast!"

Lu Ci's eyes widened instantly, as if he had seen an insurmountable mountain suddenly rise from the ground and appear before him.

Heavy and substantial!

Yet it is also light and graceful!

Jiang Liu raised his hand and pressed it against Lü Ci's face!

Swish!

For an instant.

Lu Ci's head tilted back, flipping seven thousand two hundred degrees in mid-air. Just as the back of his head was about to slam into the ground, a hand caught the back of his neck and, in a peculiar way, dissipated the force applied to him. Supporting him, the hand asked with a smile, "Is Young Master Lu satisfied?"

Shaking his head slightly, Lü Ci saw those gentle eyes clearly, but was stunned for a moment. He then realized that he had lost, but was also a little annoyed, and cursed, "You didn't use your full strength!"

"Young Master Lü, why ask a question you already know the answer to?" Jiang Liu released his grip, causing Lü Ci to fall to his head before he could react.

With a "thump".

This made him grin, and he immediately got up, snorting, "Just as powerful as Zhang Zhiwei! I don't even have the right to make you use your full strength!"

“Your family’s Ruyi Jin is also very powerful,” Jiang Liu said. “The ability to release external force with such agility is truly remarkable.”

"That is!"

Hearing Jiang Liu's praise, Lü Ci was also delighted, after all, it was only he who had lost, not the Lü family's Ruyi Jin that had lost!

"Why don't you stay for a meal?" Jiang Liu extended an invitation.

"No."

It was Lü Ren who spoke up. Lü Ci had come over to spar with Jiang Liu, and as the elder brother, he naturally had to come and watch. "Thank you for your kindness, Brother Jiang, but it's getting dark. We need to go to the inn to meet up with Father so that he won't worry."

"Of course."

Jiang Liu nodded.

"Brother, why don't you go back and tell Father that I'll stay?"

But to everyone's surprise, Lü Ci retorted to Lü Ren, "It's just to let them know we're safe. There's no need for both of us to go back. Besides, Jiang Liu is not only the young master of this opera troupe, but also the president of the Confucian Association. We can't lose face!"

However, Lü Ren frowned slightly.

In the past, no matter how rebellious Lü Ci was, she would never refute his words, but now she was discussing things with him.

the reason is simple.

Lu Ci was rebellious by nature, and he suffered two blows in one day. He was knocked down by Zhang Zhiwei in the arena, and now he was killed by Jiang Liu in one blow. How could he calm down in one day?

Zhang Zhiwei —

He was a top disciple of the Celestial Master's Mansion. He looked down on him like dirt. Even if he went to find him, he would be too lazy to waste words with him and might even slap him again.

Jiang Liu is different; he's someone Jiang Liu can talk to! If he can build a good relationship with him, not to mention whether it will benefit the Lü family, he'll definitely be able to spar with him often in the future!

Although Lü Ci had a premonition that every sparring match in the future would end with him being slapped, at least Jiang Liu knew his limits, and the other party didn't seem to be stingy with verbal guidance... This would definitely allow him to make great progress in his strength!

Furthermore!

Besides Jiang Liu, there are many different types of people in the Cultural Street. I might even be able to use my relationship with Jiang Liu to spar with them!

Jiang Liu watched the two brothers staring at each other quietly, secretly amused: one is composed, the other rebellious; the current head of the Lü family is definitely taking a gamble!

only--

Regardless of the purpose, gambling with children rarely ends well. After all, children aren't pets; they have independent consciousness...

finally.

Lü Ren compromised.

After all, arguing with Lü Ci in front of Jiang Liu, the host, or showing his brother's toughness would be a little embarrassing.

This compromise, however, stirred a strange thought within Lü Ci's already rebellious heart—

in the past.

No matter how rebellious or willful he was, he had to obey his older brother and father. He didn't think there was anything wrong with that, but the feeling of suppressing his true thoughts was not pleasant.

But now, Lü Ci realizes that he seems to have other options.
