Lu Jing handed the roster he got from Luo Chengsong to Yan Yun.
The latter opened the roster, scanned the names on it, then circled seven people with his fingers, paused, and added one more person.
"The first seven people may have something to do with the devil... Note, I said "possible". In fact, those who can come to participate in today's righteous alliance, even if they only come with the master and elders, are all young talents from various sects. , has a bright future, and to be honest, it is unlikely that he will collude with the devil."
"What about the last person?"
When Lu Jing saw the last name, he realized that it was an acquaintance.
Lu Meilang of Xiaoyao Villa is the twin brother of Prince Baiyu Lu Ping. Lu Jing had a chance encounter with him during the Wujiang City murder book incident.
"His father is Lu Qinghou, so there is almost no possibility of rebellion. I noticed him because he obviously seemed a little absent-minded today."
Yan Yun said, "As for whether there are people harboring strange things, it's hard to say."
Lu Jing didn't have a good solution for this. In any case, it would be good to rule out the possibility of someone colluding with the devil.
So he said to Yan Yun, "There are eight people here, four of us each. How about we go find out their background first?"
Yan Yun subconsciously wanted to refute.
Saying goodbye is never easy.
Whether it’s making up your mind before or picking up the mood later.
Although she had been very calm in the afternoon, deep down she was not as calm as she seemed on the surface. After Lu Jing left, she practiced swordsmanship for a long time, and then she managed to calm down.
As a result, he turned around and got involved with that person again.
But Lu Jing's reasons made her unable to refuse. As a disciple of the academy and the senior sister of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, she could not just sit idly by and ignore the evil spirits or demons.
Besides, there are so many righteous masters here tonight. If anything goes wrong, it will be an immeasurable and huge blow to the future of the martial arts world.
The matter involves the rise and fall of the right path, which should obviously take precedence over the personal relationships of children.
So Yan Yun agreed without much hesitation.
"Okay, let's meet here after a stick of incense."
Although the matter of the evil spirits has not yet been revealed, Lu Jing's spirit was shaken when he saw the strong help. After he separated from Yan Yun, he randomly found a young disciple to inquire about it, and then walked towards the first target.
The man's name was Guan Chao, he came from Xijian Pavilion, and studied under Yuan Liubai, one of the thirteen swordsmen.
Lu Jingxian observed for a while and saw that Guan Chao, like the other young disciples who came to participate in the alliance tonight, was taking advantage of this rare opportunity tonight to walk around and make friends with others.
After he finished chatting with a disciple from the Tiandao Sect, Lu Jing took the initiative to greet him.
Guan Chao had a smile on his face. Although he didn't know Lu Jing, he still politely hugged Lu Jing and said, "I'm sorry, but I wonder which faction you are friends with?"
"Me, I'm different from the people here." Lu Jing said.
His words stunned Guan Chao, but before Guan Chao could say anything, Lu Jing suddenly took another half step forward, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "The situation has changed, and tonight's plan is cancelled."
Guan Chao took a step back and frowned, "What do you mean?"
Lu Jing looked into Guan Chao's eyes and saw deep vigilance and confusion, but no other emotions.
So Lu Jing said, "Didn't Lu Meilang tell you? After the alliance is over later, we plan to go to a brothel to drink wine, but he seems to have other things at the moment and can't go. Let me inform the others. .”
As Lu Jing spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Guan Chao and made a "you know" expression.
When Guan Chao heard this, the vigilance in his eyes faded a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turns out he is Brother Lu's friend, but he never told me about drinking flower wine."
"Oh, really?" Lu Jing looked embarrassed, "It seems I have found the wrong person."
"It doesn't matter," Guan Chao said, looked around, and followed Lu Jing's example in lowering his voice, "I heard Pavilion Master Han say that we will stay in the capital for two days after the alliance ends. If you really have somewhere good to go, Take one with me too."
"It's easy to talk about." Lu Jing laughed.
At the same time, he secretly crossed out Guan Chao's name on the list.
Later, Lu Jing, the two of them, also used similar methods to deceive them. Unfortunately, their reactions were similar to Guan Chao's.
And they all showed varying degrees of interest in Lu Jing's nonsense.
Well, Lu Jing thought about it and these righteous young heroes were quite miserable. When they went out with the master of the pavilion, they must be under strict control on weekdays.
We arrived at the most virtuous capital in the world and saw the splendor everywhere, but no one dared to run away. It was rare for a bold person to be willing to lead the way, and there was an endless stream of people who responded immediately.
It's a pity that Lu Jing just painted a cake casually, and Guan Chao and others are destined to have only a wasted joy.
After eliminating the three of them in one go, Lu Jing spent less than half a cup of tea, and then he walked towards Lu Meilang.
If there was a ranking list of prodigal sons in the world, Lu Meilang would definitely be on the list.
He was clearly talented and qualified, and as the son of Lu Qinghou, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa, his starting point was perfect. However, he was different from his world-famous brother, who only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, and was willing to fall into ruin.
It can be said that it is very flat.
But Lu Jing knew that all this was actually an illusion. Lu Meilang had always dreamed of surpassing his brother. He had been deceived by the murder secret book before, so he revealed the secret deep in his heart.
As the only sane person in the restaurant at that time, Lu Jing naturally listened to what he was saying.
Of course, this was a family matter at Xiaoyao Villa, and Lu Jing had no intention of getting involved.
However, he knew that Lu Meilang was far more thoughtful than his peers. Lu Meilang had been pretending for more than ten years without revealing any flaws. The little trick Lu Jing used to defraud Guan Chao and the other three people might not work with him. It still works.
Fortunately, Lu Jing had other means to deal with Lu Meilang.
Tonight, Lu Meilang indeed seemed a little absent-minded as Yan Yun said, which was quite rare for him. However, he himself is not a sociable person. Everyone knows that Mr. Lu Er only cares about the mountains and rivers and has fun, and does not care much about the affairs of the world.
Therefore, there were not many people who came to make friends with him. Lu Meilang was happy to be quiet and found a small table to drink by himself.
But he had only had less than a glass of wine before he had company.
Lu Meilang heard the sound of someone sitting down in front of him, but he didn't even raise his eyelids. He sighed and said, "Don't you have a bad taste?"
"Why do you say that?" Lu Jing asked.
"There are so many talented young people in this restaurant waiting to make friends, but you chose the only one who doesn't want to make friends and sat down opposite him. Isn't that bad judgment?"
