Chapter 5 Jianghu News
"Damn it! The differences between people are too great!!"

"He's a martial arts expert, a famous hero, a happy love life, and a wealthy family... How come all the benefits are taken by that brat Li Xunhuan? I won't accept it!"

“I wish I could replace him!!”

The inn was full of old friends who lived at the bottom of society and were envious and jealous of Mr. and Mrs. Li and Lin.

Lu Ping was very envious of the change in Li Xunhuan's life trajectory. He then turned his yearning into appetite, ate two big mouthfuls of rice in silence, and swept the plate clean.

No matter what his attitude is, Lu Ping will always keep in mind what Old Man Sun said about the martial arts world. After all, when he enters the martial arts world in the future, these are the information he must master!
This is very important!
He is not the kind of fool who would wait until he suffers a loss before realizing that the development of the "Zongwujianghu is different from the original story plot."

ding ding ding...

Dozens of copper coins fell into the reward area, and then a big man stood up and shouted to Old Man Sun at the table: "Old Sun, stop talking about such happy and perfect things! I want to hear about misery and torture now!"

What a weird request...it has to be disgusting, right?

Everyone around rolled their eyes, but no one stopped him.

After all, this man was very generous just now, throwing hundreds of dollars around casually. He is the boss if he has money. From now on, he has the final say on what to listen to and what to listen to.

"You want to hear a tragic story, right? Yes, there is! I will tell you about it now..."

Instead of getting angry, Old Man Sun smiled happily.

"Speaking of this tragedy, it actually happened only half a month ago. It happened in Mingjian Mansion. More than a hundred people from the 'Fuwei Escort Agency' were slaughtered by criminals because of the crime of possessing a treasure. Only the young master of the escort agency escaped and became a wanderer, vowing to avenge his family. Isn't this blood feud tragic enough? Is it cruel enough?"

"Enough, enough! Tell me more..."

The audience became excited. They put out all the melon seeds and fruits and started listening with great interest.

"This... should be the plot of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, right?"

After hearing the name of "Fuwei Escort Agency", Lu Ping knew what was going on.

Even though he had never read the book or watched the TV series "Swordsman" in his previous life, he had heard of this tragedy among many martial arts fans.

The story of Old Man Sun came to an abrupt end after Lin Pingzhi escaped from the massacre of his family. Lu Ping had no idea how things would develop afterwards. The only thing he cared about in the whole thing was the Sword Manual of Exorcism that brought about the disaster.

"I don't know how powerful this Sword Manual of Exorcism is in this world?"

According to normal logic, the Book of the Sword of Exorcism is not even ranked in the top 20 among gold-based martial arts. Now that it has come to the world of comprehensive martial arts where the intensity of martial arts has increased by who knows how much, its power should only be lower.

After an unknown amount of time, another listener made a request: "Old man Sun, we are tired of hearing your stories. Why don't you tell us something new in the martial arts world?"

"What's new..."

Old Man Sun twirled his beard, pondered for a long time, and suddenly opened his eyes: "Got it! Five days ago, Hulong Villa recruited the 'Yellow Number One Secret Agent' from the Suzaku Dynasty. Is this considered a new thing?"

Huolong Villa is the best in the world, and it is also a common organization in the world of martial arts.

They are one of the official underworld forces of the Suzaku Dynasty, which is one of the main reasons why Lu Ping believes that the 'Suzaku Dynasty' is the 'Ming Dynasty'.

As soon as Old Man Sun said this, it was like a huge rock falling into the sea, causing a thousand waves.

"Huh? Recruiting spies from the underworld? Is there such a thing?"

"This is truly unheard of! Did that 'Iron-hearted Divine Marquis' lose his mind? Or is the Dragon Guard Villa really so short of manpower?"

"Could it be that he was forced into a corner by his political enemies?"

"Who could drive one of the four pillars of the Suzaku Dynasty, the 'kings, princes, generals and ministers', to insanity? The powerful minister Yan Song?" "No, no, no...Hulong Villa has always been at odds with the East Factory. I think it should be the East Factory!"

The audience kept speculating, but in the end they couldn't come up with a conclusion.

When everyone came to their senses and wanted to ask Old Man Sun for advice again, they found that he had disappeared. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, feeling as if something was stuck in their throats.

"It seems I can only ask next time... This old man, Sun, dodged quite quickly!"

One of them waved his hands and advised, "Forget it, forget it. After all, it's already the end of the night. It's not safe for Old Sun to take a little girl out on the road at night. It's better to go back early."

"Bullshit! Old Sun is so familiar with martial arts, do you think he doesn't know martial arts? Even though he coughs every two steps, if he starts fighting, he might be able to beat dozens of us with one hand!"

"Hahaha... How is that possible? Do you think this is a story?"

The conversation between several people filled the first-class inn with a happy atmosphere.

At midnight, the number of diners in the first-class inn gradually decreased.

Even if Taiping Town did not have a curfew, it would be fine to drink and party all night long, but diners have to work the next day, so they would not choose to stay out all night.

Lu Ping didn't care.

Because of the special nature of his job, he always takes orders a few days in advance and makes work plans for the next few days. Excluding the days when he cannot get orders, Lu Ping also gives himself eight days off every month.

Tomorrow is a day off, so he can stay here longer tonight.

Just as Lu Ping was immersed in his own drinking, reminiscing about the past and imagining the future, a figure sat down in front of him.

"Brother Lu, drink tea so late at night, don't let yourself fall asleep when you get home."

The person who came was Xiaobai, the waiter of a first-class inn.

Xiaobai was recruited by Chao Yiliu just last month and is a few years older than Lu Ping.

It is said that he was born in the countryside, both his parents had passed away, and his evil relatives had seized his family property. He had no choice but to come to a big town to try his luck and find a job to make a living.

Lu Ping always felt that compared to himself, this guy was playing the role of the protagonist in a cool novel.

"I have never heard that drinking jasmine tea can cause people to be unable to sleep."

Lu Ping poured a cup for the other person as well, "But it's okay even if you can't sleep. I won't be working tomorrow anyway, so I'll stay here tonight."

Xiao Bai scratched his head and said in confusion, "We asked our boss to work the night shift, so we had to stay in the store. But you guys don't sleep in the beds at home, but come here to spend the night. City people are really weird."

"Hey, hey...that's not home, that's just my house."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiao Bai obviously didn't understand the joke. He frowned in confusion and waved his hand in front of Lu Ping, wondering, "You haven't even drunk any alcohol, so why are you talking nonsense? I think I should take you back first..."

"No, no, just do your thing... Wait a minute! Give me another plate of peanuts."

"...Okay, just wait a moment."

Not long after, the peanuts arrived and Lu Ping continued to drink by himself in the store.
