After all, the people of Yemaoshan are a mixed bag. Once they are unhappy, they will not care whether they will fall into evil ways. They will only think about revenge.

It's ironic, really!

Those who follow the unorthodox methods of Maoshan mostly feel that the orthodox methods of cultivation are too slow, and want to find a quick way to gain power, thus losing patience.

However, many people from the Wild Maoshan Mountain are incredibly patient when it comes to "revenge"!

"That cannot be determined."

Lin Jiu shook his head. "It's just a guess. I need to discuss the specific time for relocating the grave with Master Ren at the Western Tea House tomorrow, and then find time to go to the vicinity in advance to check the situation and see if there is anything suspicious... Finally, when the grave is relocated, the coffin will be dug out and the body will be opened for examination in order to truly determine the specific situation."

"At that time, I wonder if I may go and observe?"

Jiang Liu also wanted to find out the truth.

Besides ensuring that he could complete the task given by Wang Yaozu, he also wanted to understand the ins and outs of corpse-driving so that he could be prepared to deal with similar abilities in the future.

"no problem."

Lin Jiu readily agreed.

Demonstrating Shangqing Maoshan Taoist magic in front of outsiders, especially those who don't understand rituals, satisfies his tiny bit of vanity, so why not?

Besides, Jiang Liu did indeed have something to do, so it can be said that this is killing two birds with one stone!

Li Muxuan also planned to join in the fun.

Lu Jin: "Since Junior Brother Li wants to broaden his horizons, then as his senior brother, I naturally have to accompany him."

"Lu Jin, I've noticed you've become quite the smooth talker."

Li Muxuan's expression was unfriendly. "Besides, I'm older than you!"

"I was the first to enter the door."

Lu Jin simply smiled and stated a fact.

Li Muxuan was furious. If he hadn't been so clever back then, he would be Lu Jin's senior brother now!

Seeing the two outstanding disciples of the Sanyi Sect bickering, Lin Jiu suddenly felt relieved.

Although his disciples Wencai and Qiusheng were not as talented or strong as the other two, they treated each other with respect and brotherly affection.

And these two—

They could easily start fighting at the slightest provocation.

[It's not always a good thing that my disciple is too talented.]

As he thought about it, Lin Jiu felt inexplicably sad.

After all, who wouldn't want their disciple to excel?

"Alright, you two stop bickering. I'll take you for a walk around the streets."

After bidding farewell to Lin Jiu, Jiang Liu called for the two to follow, saying, "Buy whatever you like, and pay for it yourselves!"

"Huh? Brother Jiang, you weren't the one who invited me?"

Lu Jin stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold of the Ren family's gate.

"Please, I'm a poor wretch, where would I get the money? Besides, out of the three of us, I'm the only one who's poor, I come from humble beginnings, I have no connections, while you two are big landlords, you're very rich!"

Jiang Liu spoke with great conviction, and seeing the two men's expressions of surprise and sneer, he put his arm around their shoulders and said, "It was just a joke, don't take it seriously. It's on me. But let's make a deal: if it's too expensive, I can't afford it, and you'll have to pay yourselves!"

"Didn't you take the gold too?"

Li Muxuan was sarcastic and unsettling.

"Can we take it out and use it?"

indeed.

Jiang Liu obtained a gold bar from the fake Pockmarked Mountain stronghold outside Goose City, but if he actually took it out, he would probably be targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Moreover, "if he took it out to spend, apart from Master Ren, no one else would be able to make change."

Unlike the dilapidated streets of Goose City, Renjia Town was bustling with people, even more prosperous than the Sanyi Gate area.

Jiang Liu and his group had already noticed this when they first entered Renjia Town.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way now!"

The three were strolling around, preparing to buy some local specialties, when they heard an arrogant shout coming from the street.

The crowd in front quickly parted to make way for them.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Li Muxuan also squeezed to the side of the road with the crowd.

Look ahead—

The man in the lead, with a greasy face, wore a yellow-green military uniform and round glasses. He walked with a pigeon-toed gait, his lips turned up, his head held high, a gun at his waist, and a short stick in his hand. He swaggered forward like a big drake, trying to show off his wealth, but it was somewhat comical.

Behind him followed more than a dozen men dressed in yellow-green military uniforms. They walked much more normally, each carrying a rifle, but their steps were quite disorderly.

"Is this the Commander Luo?"

Li Muxuan recalled that Huang Silang of Goose City had a connection with a general named "Luo Laowai" and guessed, "He looks a bit stupid."

"General Luo? He's not!"

Hearing this, a passerby laughed and said, "His uncle-in-law is Ren Fa, so he became the captain of the soldiers in Renjia Town, Ren Wei. He has nothing to do every day, so he patrols the town once in the morning, noon and evening. Don't be fooled by his patrols; he's just showing off his official power."

Then, Jiang Liu saw Ren Wei casually grab a cucumber from a nearby vegetable stall, wipe it, and put it in his mouth. He then said to the soldiers behind him, "I took it, but you can't take it. You have to take one from another stall, understand? We can't let people say that I, Ren Wei, am bullying someone!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers shouted weakly.

But Awei didn't mind, only adding, "However, there are exceptions for those I don't like."

Obvious.

This is a soldier with principles!

But there aren't many principles, and they are very flexible!

Does he do this often?

Li Muxuan asked the passerby.

"more or less."

The man nodded. "But he only takes vegetables, fruits, and meat; he doesn't rob people. After all, he became the captain of the soldiers because of his uncle-in-law, and he has to save face for Master Ren. Moreover, he has been much more restrained recently. It is said that Master Ren's daughter, who was studying abroad, has returned, and he fell in love with her at first sight."

"fart!"

Another person beside him said, "I think he just thinks that since there are no male heirs in the Ren family, his pursuit of Miss Ren is just a pretense; his real intention is to inherit Mr. Ren's property and business!"

Upon learning that Ren Wei had previously taken free fruits, vegetables, and meat from street vendors, Li Muxuan chuckled, channeled his Qi, and unleashed the Eight Directions Reversal technique.

The cucumber in Ren Wei's hand seemed to have a mind of its own, and suddenly poked it in front of his own nostril, causing him to instinctively lean back.

At the same time, he also felt as if something was pulling his ankle.

Boom!

Ren Wei fell flat on his face.

"Ha ha!"

This scene made everyone around burst into laughter.

"Who? Who's messing with me?"

Ren Wei immediately got up and cautiously scanned his surroundings.

The onlookers all fell silent.

Feeling embarrassed and flustered under those pairs of eyes, Ren Wei stomped on the cucumbers that had fallen to the ground, stopped patrolling the street, and led the soldiers behind him to run away from the street quickly.

"It's such a shame you didn't join the Quanxing Sect!"

Jiang Liu looked at Li Muxuan...

# Chapter 78 Drinking Western Tea? One's mind should not be clouded by vanity!

“Junior Brother Li, it’s not good to use your superpowers on people without reason.”

Lu Jin put his hands on his hips, striking a pose befitting a senior brother.

"I am doing this to eliminate evil and maintain order."

Li Muxuan, however, argued that Ren Wei was taking advantage of others' free fruits, vegetables, and meat without paying, and he couldn't stand it, so what was wrong with him secretly teaching him a lesson?

"I haven't seen you get rid of that Ren Wei."

Knowing Li Muxuan's temper and understanding that he actually had a sense of justice, and since he wasn't Li Muxuan's master, Jiang Liu didn't lecture him, but just retorted.

"He wasn't completely evil, so why did he have to cause someone's death?"

as predicted.

Li Muxuan wanted to contradict Jiang Liu.

Fortunately, the matter was over and no one mentioned it again. However, when Jiang Liu looked in the direction of Ren Wei's dejected figure as he ran away, he noticed a familiar figure.

Sister Hua from Goose City...

Why did she come to Renjia Town?

A slight doubt arose, but Jiang Liu didn't dwell on it. He simply kept a watchful eye on things, and then continued sightseeing in Renjia Town with Lu Jin and Li Muxuan...

The next day.

Lin Jiu originally intended to go to the Western-style teahouse to have a detailed talk with Master Ren, but suddenly realized that he did not know how to drink Western-style tea. He wanted to bring Wen Cai along so that he could take the knife for him, but then he remembered Jiang Liu and the others.

He didn't know if Jiang Liu and Li Muxuan would drink Western tea, but he figured Lu Jin, who came from the Lu family, should know.

Furthermore, both Shangqing Maoshan and Sanyimen are Xuanmen (Taoist sects)...

Although his master once said that the methods of the Sanyi School cannot be compared with those of Quanzhen Neidan and Zhengyi Fulu, they are all reputable schools and orthodox paths, so it wouldn't hurt to ask.

"Western tea?"

Early in the morning, Lu Jin, who was practicing martial arts with Jiang Liu and Li Muxuan in the Ren family courtyard, saw Lin Jiu coming over. He scratched his head a little embarrassedly and, imitating Jiang Liu, called out "Uncle Jiu" and said, "My great-grandfather prefers to drink Chinese tea. As for Western tea, he has mentioned in his letters home in recent years that one of my cousins ​​has joined a warlord who is fond of Western culture. He should know about it, but he is in Jiangbei."
