#669 - Don't take advantage of others' misfortune
Regarding how to deal with the monks of Xuankong Temple, led by Abbot Huitong, the various righteous sects have not yet reached a unified opinion.
Besides this, the interrupted alliance must continue. Facing the menacing Demonic Path, everyone needs to come up with a plan. However, the leader of the martial arts world cannot be chosen at this moment.
Han Shi is already injured, and the remaining people are not in the mood to compete. Moreover, in addition to the Demonic Path, they must also find a way to deal with Dongmen Weilan and her Ten Thousand Poison Valley, who will be returning for revenge.
This also cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone in the building.
For a moment, no one spoke.
At this moment, Qiu Moli looked at Lu Jing again, her tone softening a lot, "This friend looks a bit unfamiliar. May I ask which sect's expert you are? Speaking of which, I must thank you for your help. If it weren't for your decisive action to entangle Abbot Huitong earlier, tonight's matter would have been difficult to handle…"
"So many martial arts fellows here owe you a favor."
As soon as she said this, everyone woke up as if from a dream and turned their gazes to Lu Jing. At first, many were grateful, but as they continued to look, their expressions began to change strangely.
Not long ago, Yan Yun was forced by Huitong to admit in public that she had someone in her heart, and that person was an expert on the Celestial Ranking.
Lu Jing had just fought Abbot Huitong alone for so long, and even Abbot Huitong had used all kinds of methods to no avail. His skills must have already reached the top level.
Looking at his appearance, well… he is a bit older, already in his early thirties, but he has a natural air of elegance and unrestraint. Isn't that what many young girls like?
Most importantly, Lu Jing and Yan Yun rushed out one after the other, each locking onto a target, cooperating tacitly, definitely not fighting on their own. When Yan Yun was unwilling to answer Huitong's question, Lu Jing even spoke up to dissuade her.
That is to say, these two know each other!
Coupled with Yan Yun's hesitant appearance earlier, doesn't this mean…
Everyone couldn't help but gasp.
Good heavens, the other party involved is also present! And this guy's eyes don't look like anything happened to him. Could it be that he just recovered?
Lu Jing felt a little uneasy being stared at by so many people. Of course, he knew what these people were looking at.
Lu Jing was also shocked when the young girl revealed her feelings. He had always thought that Yan Yun didn't speak twice because she didn't want the Sitianjian to be exposed.
He didn't expect it to be related to him.
In the ears of others, this may just be a piece of Jianghu gossip, but in Lu Jing's ears, every word of the girl was like she was saying it to him.
It also stirred up a monstrous wave in his heart.
If he revealed his identity at this time, he could easily turn the situation around, take the initiative, and even take advantage of the victory to pursue. Not only could he successfully recover the lost ground, but he could also expand his territory!
Tonight, so many people heard Yan Yun's confession to him.
Before long, the entire Jianghu would know the story of Yan Yun's unrequited love for him, and Yan Yun's chances of marrying someone else would become very slim.
Because in this era, people pay special attention to a woman's chastity.
Even people in the Jianghu are no exception. Few people would be willing to marry a woman who has another man in her heart, of course, Yan Yun can also choose to marry down.
But the problem is that knowing that the person Yan Yun likes is Lu Jing, ordinary small families would not dare to take this risk.
In this way, Lu Jing can slowly plan it, whether it is dealing with the relationship between Yan Yun and Wen Xiaochuan, or her relationship with Xia Huai, he can be more calm.
But Lu Jing couldn't do this kind of thing that takes advantage of others' danger.
How could Lu Jing bear to carve another deep cut on the girl's heart?
So he sighed and said, "I am Qi Kui, without a sect or school, just a wandering person in the Jianghu. Helping out is just a matter of duty. After all, I am also in the Zhuangyuan Building. If Huitong escapes, I will not be able to escape death either, so Pavilion Master Qiu and all the martial arts fellows don't need to thank me."
"Moreover, that disciple of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley was also captured by Miss Yan. If it weren't for Miss Yan and the friends from the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, I would have been the one being questioned by Huitong just now."
Lu Jing winked at Huitong as he spoke, telling the old monk not to meddle in other people's business.
The two had just fought each other not long ago, and judging from Huitong's previous reaction, Lu Jing knew that the other party had already seen through his identity.
However, before Lu Jing could finish speaking, he heard another voice shouting, "Great Hero Lu, that's not right of you. There were rumors in Wujiang City before that you were indifferent to fame and fortune, and that you did good deeds without leaving your name. We didn't quite believe it, but after seeing you this time, we are completely convinced. But this time, everyone owes you a great favor, so we can't just gloss over this matter."
When Lu Jing heard this voice, he knew things were going to be bad.
Sure enough, he turned his head and saw Luo Cheng Song, who didn't know where he had popped out from. The latter was winking at someone while speaking, obviously quite pleased with his divine assist.
“……”
Hearing his words, the Zhuangyuan Building completely exploded!
Lu Jing? Is he that Lu Jing?! The Lu Jing who, like Yan Yun, made it onto the Celestial Ranking before the age of twenty, and who was not from a top sect, but supposedly just a disciple of an insignificant old镖师 (镖师 biāoshī: bodyguard in the old days) .
Because of this, many people questioned his strength.
However, the battle with Li Feilong completely shattered all doubts.
Tonight, he single-handedly entangled Abbot Huitong of Xuankong Temple. The time the two fought was not too long, but at least Lu Jing did not fall behind in the scene, and even had a slight advantage.
Hey, hey, hey, isn't this skill a bit too strong?
No wonder he was loved by Yan Yun.
Thinking of this, a group of young heroes wailed in their hearts again, how could all the good things be taken by this guy, and which girl did this bastard set his sights on? He doesn't even want Yan Yun.
Just as they were thinking this, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa, Lü Qinghou, opened his mouth and said, "Great Hero Lu, since our farewell at Wen Family Manor, it seems that your martial arts have improved again, it's really… admirable."
Everyone didn't pay much attention to Lü Qinghou's words, but was attracted by the three words "Wen Family Manor" in front of him.
Then they thought of the famous Jianghu rumor, 'Learn swordsmanship, enter the Sword Washing Pavilion; marry a wife, marry a Wen family girl,' and their faces became even more wonderful.
