Chapter 76 The Destitute Hua Wuque
When Yan Sanniang's figure completely disappeared, Zheng Dongliu sighed meaningfully: "Even when she was so angry, she still remembered to go buy vegetables. She is really a good and sensible daughter-in-law who stays at home..."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Ping flew down from the roof and greeted everyone: "Everyone, I didn't expect that we meet again."

"Why did you fight with Sanniang?"

"I'm so ashamed. This is mainly because of the matter of the Emei Forbidden Land. I heard the details..."

After an incense stick of time, the group had already sat down at the stone table in the courtyard to drink tea, and Lu Ping explained the reason for the fight clearly.

"Tell me, if it were you, would you give up this good opportunity to find out the truth?"

The three of them answered without hesitation.

"Hmm...that makes sense."

“It’s hard to disagree.”

“I’m definitely going to go take a look.”

Then I feel relieved. It seems that there are still many sensible people in this world.

"By the way, regarding the Emei treasure, have you come up with any results from your previous investigation?"

Li Ge smiled and shook his head: "The clues are gone, and Tianxia No. 1 Manor has withdrawn the commission and told us not to investigate further. The whole thing can only be left unresolved."

"Fine……"

It seems that without the two books "Mohist Sword Technique" and "Mohist Mentality Technique", it would be very difficult for outsiders to find new clues.

But even so, Lu Ping didn't intend to make trouble and tell these things.

"In that case, I'll take my leave first, to avoid another scene when Lady Yan comes back."

"Hehehe... that's right, then I won't send you off."

……

After leaving Lao Zheng Academy, Lu Ping continued along the avenue according to his original plan.

"Huh? I just completed the system's side quest unconsciously?"

In the consciousness space, the side quest shown as 'completed' in the system panel now has an additional quest: 'Compete with a master of lightness skills and win'.

The system's side quests are triggered by what Lu Ping sees and hears in his daily life, so several of them are activated every day. Sometimes you don't even have to do them deliberately, you can complete them as long as you let it go and activate all the "spirit".

Therefore, it can be said that my strength is increasing every day, and this phenomenon has become more obvious in the past two days since I came to the capital.

What happened in the past two days made Lu Ping feel like he was on an "adventure" in the game.

First, there was 'encountering a vicious gambler, triggering a challenge mission', then 'encountering a disciple of Taihua on the road, friendship level +1', and after that, there was 'drinking with Luhua in the inn' and 'meeting Yizhimei again'.

Everything about it is so consistent with the modules of "making friends" and "increasing favorability" in martial arts games!
I don’t know who is waiting for me behind?

Lu Ping never expected that the next person he would meet would be an acquaintance.

Hua Wu Que. This obedient disciple from Yihua Palace who was tasked with "killing Xiao Yu'er" made a "battle at 18" with Xiao Yu'er in a small town at the foot of Mount Emei. No one knows what happened to him, but now he has come to the capital to join in the fun.

But it was said that less than half a month ago, after seeing Xiao Yuer at the Nameless Inn and falling in love with him for a lifetime, Hua Wuque had an inexplicable and wonderful feeling towards him.

Geminis are connected in heart and cannot bear to hurt each other.

That wonderful feeling made Hua Wuque feel distressed and unable to sleep every time he thought about the tasks that his master had given him to complete in the dead of night.

In order to solve this problem, Hua Wuque immediately set off and prepared to return to Xiuyu Valley and Yihua Palace to ask his two masters why they must kill Xiaoyuer themselves.

However, halfway through the journey, he met 'Mr. Copper'.

Before leaving Yihua Palace, Yaoyue had warned Hua Wuque that if he met 'Mr. Tong' in the martial arts world, he should respect him as himself and obey his orders.

So Hua Wuque told Mr. Tong about his appointment with Xiao Yuer, and as expected, he was scolded by the other party.

Mr. Tong immediately ordered Hua Wuque to go and kill Xiaoyuer, but Hua Wuque refused on the grounds that "the battle has been scheduled and cannot be brought forward. I would still say the same thing even if my master were here."

These words made Mr. Tong very angry, but since he still wanted him to kill Xiao Yuer, he could only leave temporarily in anger, and took the maids of Yihua Palace with him before leaving.

Hua Wuque was confused. At this time, he heard about the spy recruitment meeting of Huolong Villa. He thought that since there was such a lively event, he might be able to meet Xiaoyuer here, so he rushed over.

But after arriving at the place, not only did he not find Xiao Yuer, but because of his kindness, he gave all the money he had to a poor woman begging on the roadside. As a result, he was now penniless and could not afford to stay in an inn. He had even been hungry for the whole day.

When Lu Ping saw Hua Wuque, he was begging from a bun vendor.

It may not be appropriate to say begging. To be precise, it means asking the other party very seriously and sincerely whether he would like to give him two buns for free to fill his stomach.

Unfortunately, this young man, who had never had to worry about food and clothing since childhood, did not realize that such a request was almost impossible for any businessman.

It’s not easy for street vendors! How can you give away your buns for free?
Oh, you said that you gave all your money to the poor, so what? In this big world, who isn't struggling to survive? Are you the only one who is kind and noble?
But why should others buy into your kindness and nobleness?
Hua Wuque, who had just started out in the martial arts world, was thin-skinned. After being scolded by the vendor, his face turned red and he lowered his head in shame. He knew he was in the wrong and couldn't retort, so he could only turn around and leave in silence.

Well... at least he still maintained the qualities and manners he had developed since he was a child.

Lu Ping watched the whole process of Hua Wuque preparing to get free steamed buns, being scolded by the vendor, and finally leaving in embarrassment. He couldn't help but sigh: "These two brothers are really cut from the same cloth. Even their experiences are so similar..."

When Xiao Yuer first arrived in Taiping Town, didn't he also encounter such a "a penny can make a hero fall" scene?
However, Hua Wuque’s current situation is much better than Xiaoyuer’s back then.

At that time, because he had just offended the wealthy people in the town, Xiao Yuer was "banned" by the whole town. If I hadn't stepped in, he would probably have fainted from hunger on the street.

After all, in Taiping Town, even fishing in the river without permission is illegal.

But the Hua Wuque in front of him was different, he had not been banned by anyone.

I just don't have any money now, so go and earn it!

With his martial arts skills, even if he did hard labor, he would still earn more than an ordinary person in a day, so his life was not yet in dire straits.

"I don't know why, but his appearance suddenly reminded me of Zhang Lingyu who was driven down the mountain..."

"I want to see what happens next."
