From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

If possible, taking advantage of this martial arts tournament to exchange ideas with the extraordinary forces within and outside these five provinces might be the catalyst for future cooperation.

"Will the world really become more and more chaotic?" Red Girl asked.

"What is divided for a long time will unite, and what is united for a long time will divide. Although times have changed, this principle will not change. Before the land of China is truly unified by a certain power, war will not stop."

Jiang Liu's gaze was firm. "And what we need to do is take this opportunity to reintegrate the supernatural beings into the general population!"

Lu Jin and Hong Guniang both nodded.

At this stage.

The relationship between extraordinary individuals and ordinary people is similar to that of the yin-yang symbol:

You have me I have you.

The goal of the Confucian Association is not much different from the cultivation philosophy of Boss Cha's Ape Strike Technique: all things carry yin and embrace yang.

However, Boss Cha's Ape Strike Technique only focuses on cultivation, while the Confucian Society's philosophy is based on the entire human community, that is, to let Yin and Yang intersect and give birth to the infinite, thus transforming the concept of "extraordinary people" from existence to non-existence.

The method of reversing the eight directions and cultivating inner magnetic field requires practitioners to actively and proactively immerse themselves among the masses in order to obtain the greatest benefits during the practice.

The Confucian ideals and the practice of reversing the flow of energy are inherently harmonious and unified, without distinction between self and others...

"So you finally decided to come back!"

Sunset Inn in Yuhang City.

Lu Ci was being loudly reprimanded by his father, "Why don't you listen to your brother?"

In the eyes of this head of the Lü family, Jiang Liu's invitation for them to stay for dinner was completely irrelevant; the key issue was that Lü Ci dared to defy his elder brother!

Is this okay?

He cultivated Lü Ci's flamboyant personality so that he would be more proactive in his actions in the future and could cooperate with his elder brother in playing the good cop/bad cop role.

One uses their brain, the other uses their hands.

To safeguard their family business and ensure that the positions of village chief and clan head of Lüjia Village remain with their lineage, steady and reliable descendants are essential, but descendants who demonstrate the strength and ruthlessness of their lineage and deter petty villains are equally indispensable.

Lu Ci can be rebellious, cause trouble, and even beat people in the street or ordinary people. His father can cover for all of these things.

The only thing that happened was that Lü Ci disobeyed Lü Ren's orders.

This gave him a glimpse of something ominous...

He found that bringing the two brothers out this time broadened their horizons—

How lucky!

He discovered early on that Lü Ci had gone too far in his rebellion. If it had been another eight or nine years, Lü Ci's martial arts skills would have surpassed his own, and he might have even challenged his brother for the position of family head!

That would be terrible!

They might ruin relationships with other families and sects!

Although the four major families had been fighting each other openly and covertly for many years, they were generally harmonious.

"Dad, my brother just lost twice today and is in a bad mood..."

"And you too!"

Before Lü Ren could finish speaking, he interrupted sharply, "Throughout this whole process, you've been far too cautious! Would Jiang Liu possibly have any ill intentions towards you?"

It's just staying for a meal, isn't it?

What's the big deal?

You absolutely must come back and eat with your dad?

After I die, will you bring your bowl and chopsticks to my grave to eat?

Jiang Liu, a man of great strength, not only built a cultural street within a year, but also frequently corresponded with Liu Wei of Jianghu Xiaozhan and was friends with Zhang Zhiwei, a disciple of the Celestial Master. It is said that the eminent monks and masters of the Taoist temples and monasteries in the West Lake and Qiantang area all had a past relationship with him!

Moreover, I also found out that they had wiped out a gang shortly after arriving in Yuhang!

Before the martial arts tournament began, the All-Knowing Security Team was established to arrest the Quanxing demons on the street, and even the Smiling Tiger could not do anything to them!

You're worried he'll mess things up, but let's wait and see. If he really can't handle it, we can just cut ties completely. What's there to be afraid of?

Lü Ren hesitated and dared not speak.

Lu Ci, however, was different. As soon as he returned, his good mood vanished. After listening to his father's long speech, he retorted, "I want to stay on my own, it has nothing to do with my elder brother. Father, you can scold me!"

"Snapped!"

A handprint appeared on Lü Ci's face, and he swayed and fell to the ground.

"You dare talk back?"

The head of the Lü family was furious. "It seems I really have been too lenient with you before. How dare you take advantage of me?"

"father!"

Lü Ren quickly stepped in front of Lü Ci.

"Get out of the way!"

The head of the Lü family felt his authority had been challenged, and his face turned terribly grim.

"I······"

Lu Ren wanted to say something more, but when he saw his father's sharp eyes, he trembled and involuntarily stepped back.

This scene was reflected in Lü Ci's eyes, and he seemed to find it unbelievable.

The head of the Lü family had already walked up to Lü Ci, clenching his fists, but ultimately did not make a move.

He was worried that he would destroy Lü Ci's arrogance.

He didn't want Lü Ci to become as composed as Lü Ren, but he also didn't want him to rebel against his elder brother in the future. Therefore, he could only scold, "What are you still doing lying on the ground? Go back to your room and go to sleep!"

Lu Ci pursed his lips, said nothing, and slammed the door shut as he left.

"That little brat! He thinks that because I never hit him when he was a kid, I'll never hit him in the future, right? What a fucking bastard!"

"Father, he's just in a bad mood..."

Only then did Lü Ren dare to speak.

"What feelings do children have? They'll forget them the next day!"

He dismissed Lü Ren with a single sentence and scolded him, "And you, be bolder tomorrow, chat more with Jiang Liu, and introduce your sisters while you're at it."

Lü Ren: "..."

the other side.

After Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu, and Miss Liu finished washing the dishes, Jiang Liu gave them a task: "Go find the whereabouts of that smiling tiger."

The martial arts tournament was organized by Smiling Tiger, but he himself didn't attend; instead, he had Chameleon, his deputy, preside over it...

An investigation is definitely necessary.

Sending the superhumans from Cultural Street to investigate might alert the enemy, while having the outsider superhumans who were eliminated in today's preliminary rounds conduct the search—

After losing the game, wandering around Yuhang city and buying some souvenirs will not attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers.

Miss Liu was starting to have an existential crisis, and she grumbled, "Are you treating us like cattle?! It's already dark!"

"It's not like I'm asking you to act now. This is your task for tomorrow." Seeing the three men's unfriendly expressions, Jiang Liu quickly changed his tone to appease them.

"That's more like it!"

Where are we sleeping tonight?

Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, on the other hand, were concerned about the accommodation.

resignedly.

Jiang Liu could only lead them to the guest rooms to rest.

When the night was deep and quiet, Jiang Liu put on the traveler's mask and called Lu Jin and Hong Guniang to act together.

# Chapter 290 Should I pay more?

"Brother Jiang, you don't often go out with me and Sister Hong to right wrongs at night, what brings you to this leisurely mood today?" Lu Jin teased.

"Confirm the whereabouts of the Smiling Tiger."

Jiang Liu expressed his concerns, "Perhaps our previous assumptions about him organizing this martial arts tournament were wrong."

"You mean he didn't show up?" Miss Hong asked thoughtfully.

"That's really strange."

After saying that, Lu Jin thought of a possibility, "Maybe he was afraid that there were too many supernatural beings at the scene and it would be unsafe, so he hid."

"impossible."

Jiang Liu shook his head. "If someone who controls five provinces and commands hundreds of thousands of troops doesn't even dare to go to public places, what will his subordinates think of him?"

He's not the emperor yet!

Besides, he personally initiated this martial arts tournament!

"That's true."

Lu Jin nodded in agreement.

If that smiling tiger were an emperor living in the palace, it would be understandable to be so cunning. But he is currently just a warlord. If he cannot make the most of his position and only focuses on enjoying himself, he will inevitably be destroyed by the other warlords who have risen to power.

So the three of them went to the Smiling Tiger's residence.

But we see:

White walls with black tiles, and dark gray baseboards.

It is covered with gray tile roof and has two rows of windows in the middle.

Behind this 70-meter-long white wall is a building that combines Chinese and Western styles. The building is two stories high and has a combination of flat and pitched roofs.
