Chapter 85 Re-acquaintance

Lu Ping's generous gift made the man burst into tears of gratitude.

The other party took the voucher and put it in his arms like a treasure, muttering excitedly: "This is such a commemorative thing, I must take it home and keep it well..."

What's so good about collecting this?
Wouldn’t it be a waste if the vouchers are not used?
You are not a spy sent by the inn, are you?
While Lu Ping was silently complaining in his heart, the man asked again: "May I know your name, young man? From now on I will be your fan!!"

Fans...are all the people in this world so trendy?
Then I'd better be more fashionable!
Thinking of this, Lu Ping curled the corners of his mouth slightly and gave the other party, as well as the passers-by who gathered around him and also wanted to ask about him, a dashing back.

"An eagle is not afraid of the headwind, a good horse is not afraid of the bumpy road. Traveling is the most difficult thing in the world, once you enter the world of mortals, you will find that the road is smooth."

"I am... Luowang Qiankun Qilu Ren!"

When Lu Ping broke away from the crowd, Zhang Wuji and the other three had not left yet.

After the game, of course they had to review it. Plus, it was lunch time and everyone was hungry, so they went to the inn next door and stayed in a private room on the third floor.

"You were even more arrogant than me when you just recited a poem to register!"

Seeing Jian Wuji's sour look, Lu Ping just raised his chin proudly: "I know you don't have much knowledge, just say it if you are envious!"

Jian Wuji gritted his teeth and said, "When there is a chance, let's have another serious fight! Then I will let you see the power of the Wuji Sword Technique and show you what a genius swordsman is!"

"Always waiting!"

The five of them drank and ate and chatted, and soon the topic turned to their origins.

Zhang Wuji and Linghu Chong are both disciples of the "Five Mountains and Seven Sects". Although the Yihua Palace where Hua Wuque is located is not a famous and upright sect, it is also well-known in the martial arts world.

All three of them belong to the category with clear roots and origins.

On the other hand, Lu Ping and Jian Wuji, because they were born as independent people, had great talents and strength, and their martial arts characteristics were so distinct, they naturally attracted the attention of the other three.

However, due to his background, Jian Wuji kept silent about his master and made various excuses. But in the end, after being pestered by the others, he confessed that he and the son of the "Confucian Hero" were fellow apprentices.

Lu Ping knew that in the golden light, Jian Wuji in front of him and Shi Yanwen’s two sons, Qiao Rulai and Xueshan Yinyan, were indeed all disciples of Miyamoto Souji.

With this relationship, everyone naturally felt relieved and believed that he was not a bad person.

After Jian Wuji, several people talked about Lu Ping’s master.

Among the four, Zhang Wuji was the most curious: "There are very few people in the martial arts world today who can inherit such superior Tai Chi martial arts. Which master taught you the 'Mysterious Tai Chi' martial arts?"

"That's easy to say. He was an old senior named 'Hao Kunlun'. I just got his martial arts secret book by chance."

Of course Lu Ping couldn't say that it was obtained by the system, so he began to make up a story, "It was a cold winter, I went up the mountain to collect herbs, and accidentally fell off the cliff, and then..."

Naturally, no one believed this lame excuse that was so common, but after trying many times, they found that Lu Ping still had no intention of speaking, so they just let it go.

After spending some time together, Lu Ping had a general impression of the four people in front of him.

Zhang Wuji, honest.

This is not much different from his character in the original novel, and because he spent the first twenty years in Wudang Mountain practicing martial arts, he has a happy family life and no troubles with women. Hua Wuque is sincere.

His life trajectory is the least different from the original, and he is still a precious boy who listens to his master.

Linghu Chong, generous.

Among all the people present, he had the biggest change in life trajectory.

Lu Ping guessed that this change might be caused by the fact that the Taihua Sect in this world was bigger and stronger than the world of "Swordsman".

From Linghu Chong, Lu Ping learned that in this world, the Taihua Sect, the strongest of the "Five Mountains", was showing a situation of "Yin is strong and Yang is weak".

For several generations, Taihua has been headed by women, and the majority of the elders are women. For example, Liu Yuru, whom I met yesterday, is one of the current elders of Taihua.

The current head of Taihua is not Yue Buqun, but Master Kumei; the face of the younger generation of disciples is not Linghu Chong, but Gao Yanan, whom he met yesterday.

Master Ku Mei is decisive and resolute in her actions and always keeps her word. Under her management, the Taihua Sect's rules are extremely strict, but the entire sect is thriving.

In this environment, Yue Buqun lost the ambition he had in the original novel and became more law-abiding.

Because now he has neither the important task of "reviving Huashan", nor does he have to deal with the civil strife of the "Sword Qi Contest", nor does he have the need to be promoted to the leader of the Five Mountains and fight against the Demon Sect.

The disciples of this lineage only need to practice martial arts seriously, cultivate their body and mind, complete their master's tasks every day, and contribute to Taihua.

As a result, although the Linghu Chong in front of us is still the same generous and unrestrained Linghu Chong, he no longer has the opportunity to make mistakes, and the bad influence caused is also reduced a lot.

Lu Ping had never read "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", so his impression of the characters of Linghu Chong and Lao Yue came entirely from the novel. He only knew that in the eyes of readers, one of these two men was a "eunuch" and the other was a "traitor to his teacher and ancestors".

But now it seems that no matter what the original fate was, it has changed drastically.

After three rounds of drinks and halfway through the banquet, the few people turned the topic to the conference in the capital.

"Qi Lu Ren, have you signed up for the competition?"

Lu Ping shook his head and replied, "No, who would play that? Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this recruitment meeting is just a formality and will definitely not recruit anyone in the end."

"What do you mean?" Jian Wuji asked curiously.

His brain is sometimes clever and sometimes very stupid. This time he couldn't figure out the key.

Lu Ping had no choice but to explain the unspoken rule of 'spies do not recruit disciples from big sects': "... Think about it carefully, how many of the independent people are strong enough? What is the average age of these people? What does Hulong Villa do?"

After such an in-depth and easy-to-understand explanation, Jian Wuji also understood: "Those who are too young are not strong enough, and those who are too old are not trustworthy. Both types of people cannot be used!"

"That's right. Even if a spy is trained from childhood, he may rebel, let alone one who surrenders with his skills."

"Then why did that Divine Marquis do such a thing?"

If you ask me about this kind of thing, who should I ask?
Lu Ping rolled his eyes and said casually, "Maybe he's short of money and wants to take this opportunity to make some money?"
