Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 23: Life is getting better and better

After half a month of visiting her family, Zhu Yan returned to Wei Mansion with two carriages full of gifts.

Returning empty-handed to her parents' home, but returning laden to her husband's home.

This woman is good at taking care of her husband!

Perhaps because she had hidden money, Wei Mao had suspicions in his heart. Rarely, he didn't go to the military camp for overtime and stayed at home with Zhu Yan.

There's not much shyness between an old married couple. After two glasses of wine, Zhu Yan pushed up her pants and got things done.

After finishing, Zhu Yan leaned in Wei Mao's arms and drew small circles with her fingertips. "Where is Xiao Bei? Why haven't I seen him? Is he still in the military camp?"

"No, he went out to play with Young Master Kui. Don't worry about him. He'll be back around midnight." In order to maintain harmony between husband and wife, Wei Mao chose to tell the truth.

In terms of self-discipline, he admired Lu Bei. Despite having friends who were not good influences, he never lingered in questionable places. He always returned by midnight and went to the Alchemy Room early the next day, rain or shine.

"Young Master Kui?"

Zhu Yan looked puzzled and couldn't remember who that was for a moment.

After thinking for a while, she still couldn't remember.

"He's your distant relative, his older brother Zhu Bo. When I came to Great Victory Pass for my assignment, he gave you a thousand taels of silver."

"So it was him, that one thousand taels." Zhu Yan suddenly realized and her face changed abruptly. "What happened? How does Xiao Bei know him?"

"They met at the Alchemy Room. A few days ago, Young Master Kui went to find you and coincidentally ran into him. They became acquainted because they are relatives." In order to maintain harmony between husband and wife, Wei Mao chose to hide some details.

"What?!" Zhu Yan's face turned pale. "These past few days, you didn't take Xiao Bei to the military camp, and he still went to the Alchemy Room as usual?"

"He stayed in the military camp for three days and got bored. He complained to me, so I sent him back to the Alchemy Room." In order to maintain harmony between husband and wife, Wei Mao chose to tell a white lie.

"It's over, it's over. There aren't many good people surnamed Zhu. Xiao Bei is going to learn bad things. How am I going to explain to Senior Sister?" Zhu Yan exclaimed, punching Wei Mao's chest one after another, her face full of sorrow. "It's all your fault. How dare you leave him alone outside? What if he gets deceived?"

Him? Getting deceived? He should be grateful if he's not the one deceiving others!

You probably don't know how much money I made while you were away.

"Wife, you're underestimating him. That kid is not a good person. He became friends with Young Master Kui. Who knows, he might even become corrupted!" Wei Mao couldn't bear it any longer and revealed the truth.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's clearly because you're narrow-minded and can't stand Xiao Bei's pure kindness after he came out of the mountains. So you found someone surnamed Zhu to corrupt him."

"Wife, you're also surnamed..."

"Don't try to argue." Zhu Yan became furious and pushed him down.

...

The next day, when Lu Bei was about to leave, he was stopped by Zhu Yan, who had a flushed face. She brought him news related to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect and Bai Jin.

"Senior Sister Bai has been confined and cannot leave the Towering Heaven Sword Sect for three years?"

The fact that Bai Jin was restricted from leaving was unexpected but not surprising to Lu Bei. However, three years seemed a bit too long, and the number three had an inexplicable meaning, as if it foreshadowed that one should not underestimate the poor youth. After three years, he would definitely go up the mountain and rescue Senior Sister.

She's indeed confined, but it might not be for three years," Zhu Yan said. "Senior Sister asked me to pass on a message. She said that the Sect Master will handle the situation, and within three months at most, she will regain her freedom. She told you to diligently cultivate and not waste time."

"I understand."

Lu Bei frowned and nodded, but just as he turned around, he was stopped by Zhu Yan.

"Don't rush, I haven't finished yet!"

Zhu Yan looked around and whispered, "Senior Sister wants you to be careful. If there are any strangers approaching you recently, most likely they are from the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. Remember to be polite and leave a good impression."

"What's the matter?"

"Master Uncle Mo passed away, and the Sect Leader cried out in grief, and then..." Zhu Yan recounted the gossip she had just learned.

Bai Jin returned to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect with a small box. When Sect Leader Lin Boyan saw the body of his junior brother, he couldn't believe it and cried uncontrollably after confirming it repeatedly. He waved his hand, indicating that everyone was dead and it was not good to continue holding onto guilt. He would not pursue the past mistakes made by Mo Buxio.

Lin Boyan allowed the small box to be moved into the cemetery of the Towering Heaven Sword Sect, and let Mo Buxio return to his roots. But when Bai Jin mentioned that Mo Buxio had a disciple who was wandering outside, Lin Boyan immediately imposed a three-year restriction and forbade any mention of bringing Lu Bei back to the sect.

"I understand."

Lu Bei nodded. From Lin Boyan's perspective, his junior brother, who had been entangled in grievances for many years, had died suddenly. Not only did the Sect Leader not blame him for his past mistakes, but he also allowed his body to be buried in the back mountain. This would greatly enhance the sect's reputation.

Anyway, everyone was gone.

But what was strange was that right after his junior brother's death, his wife's favorite disciple received news...

Why?

It's simple, of course, she was forgiven.

As for how to deal with his junior brother's disciple, Lin Boyan didn't care. He could do whatever he wanted, as long as he didn't bother him.

"Master has already made arrangements. There will be disciples from the sect coming to find you to assess your character. If you behave well, you might have a chance to return to the Towering Heaven Sword Sect," Zhu Yan reminded.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

Lu Bei nodded, turned around, and then turned around again to confirm that Zhu Yan had finished speaking before hastily heading towards the Alchemy Room.

When he first met Bai Jin, Lu Bei had high expectations for the Towering Heaven Sword Sect. But since arriving at Great Victory Pass, his anticipation had diminished. He no longer felt as strongly as before.

Upon further investigation, he found a way to level up and confirmed that he could take on missions. He could now sustain himself completely, making the Towering Heaven Sword Sect seem redundant.

To be honest, Lu Bei was still a little reluctant to leave the Great Victory Pass Alchemy Room.

"Calculating the time, Three Pristine Peak should be completed soon, and that little fox's den. I need to go back as soon as possible." In the Alchemy Room, Lu Bei was operating seven furnaces, producing Spirit Opening Pills like dumplings, and his experience was increasing rapidly.

With Bai Jin being restricted, it was, in a way, a good thing for Lu Bei.

He was free.

Bai Jin was the one who had the earliest contact with him and knew him the best. When he was leveling up before, Lu Bei had some reservations. He could display his astonishing talent, but not too much. Now, without any constraints, he could act freely.

Ten days later, Lu Bei had accumulated 500,000 experience points by leveling up, and he obtained two skill books from Wei Mao and Zhu Bo's study.

[Resting Scenery Formation Breaking Art Lv6 (10/10000)]

[Eight Arm Boxing Lv5 (10/12000)]

As the name suggests, Resting Scenery Formation Breaking Art is a method used within formations to find rest and scenery, with the intention of seeking good fortune in distant travels. It cannot be considered a high-level formation-breaking technique, but in Zhu Bo's study, it was already at the ceiling level. Lu Bei could access the best formation-breaking skills.

Eight Arm Boxing is a martial art used in the military. Unlike the Formation Cutting Knife Art, which emphasizes teamwork, this set of boxing techniques has few combined attack techniques and focuses on powerful strikes.

Bai Jin had once taught Lu Bei a set of soft and skillful boxing techniques with a long-lasting impact. Lu Bei didn't practice it and chose Eight Arm Boxing for a reason.

Combining military knife techniques with boxing, if something were to happen, he could temporarily disguise himself as a soldier from Great Victory Pass.

After all, he was getting closer to the Zhu brothers, especially Zhu Bo, who had mentioned taking him underground recently to familiarize him with the path.

What path? Zhu Bo didn't explain in detail, but gave him a meaningful look.

Lu Bei understood instantly. His life was becoming more and more predictable, and he had to be prepared in advance.

Sure enough, Zhu Bo didn't make Lu Bei wait too long. On this day, he secretly invited him, saying that someone was forming a team to go underground, and Zhu Bo planned to join in.
