"It's a good thing I'm not here to make friends."
"This is quite rare."
Lu Meilang finally raised his head and glanced at Lu Jing, but only once. Then he looked down at the wine glass in his hand. It seemed that except for the wine in the glass, there was nothing in this world that could worry him.
Lu Jing said, "I often wonder...if a person spends his whole life pretending to be another person, will he be able to tell which one is the real him in the end?"
"What does it matter if you can't tell the difference? Life is just a big dream anyway." Lu Meilang said lightly.
"Is Fu'er also having a big dream?"
When Lu Meilang heard the name, the expression on his face changed for the first time. His pupils shrank suddenly, and the wine cup he held in his right hand tilted, and the wine splashed from it wet him. of clothes.
After a moment, he suddenly raised his head and said to Lu Jing, "Watch your words, friend, Ning Funing from Qixia Xiaozhu is my brother's unmarried wife. I only have respect for her in my heart."
"Really, but if I remember correctly... the relationship between Xiaoyao Villa and Qixia Xiaozhu has always been very good, and there is a tradition of exchanging martial arts among the disciples. When you were thirteen years old, you went to Qixia Xiaozhu, and you were there. I lived there for a year and a half, you must have met Ning Nuxia at that time."
"Who are you?" Lu Meilang's eyes darkened, "Why do you know so much about me?"
"That's not important." Lu Jing said, "What's important is to stop before it's too late."
Lu Meilang looked at Lu Jing and didn't speak for a long time.
After a moment, he suddenly showed a sneer, "Is it just based on your veiled words?"
After saying that, he leaned back on the chair again, "I don't know where you heard some rumors, so you believed them to be true and used them to threaten me. It would be too whimsical."
"What I know is not just a little gossip." Lu Jing said, "I know you don't like your brother, you don't like that your martial arts is worse than him, you don't like that he is more famous than you in the world, and you don't like that your father chose him to be the leader of Xiaoyao Villa. The next owner of the village doesn't like his beloved woman being taken away by him.
"You dreamed of taking everything back from him, and that's why you decided to take the risk, because you didn't want to live in his shadow like this for the rest of your life."
"Although your vision is not very good, I didn't expect that your imagination is quite rich." Lu Meilang poured himself another glass of wine and said leisurely.
"There are so many people here. How many people will believe you? If you ask anyone at random, they will know that I, the Second Young Master Lu, am just a second-generation ancestor who is just waiting to die and squandering his talents. Ambition? That kind of thing It has never had anything to do with me.”
"Really? Why did you go to Wujiang City two years ago?" Lu Jing asked calmly.
Lu Meilang was shocked. He didn't expect that the other party even knew about this. It seemed that he was indeed well prepared tonight.
"Two years ago, Xie Liancheng obtained the secret book of martial arts, and his skills improved greatly, attracting many masters to Wujiang City, including you, Mr. Lu Er from Xiaoyao Villa, and senior brother Wei Zixian from Xijian Pavilion.
"Wei Zixian went there to prove that the so-called magical secret book is not worth mentioning in front of the martial arts of Xijiang Pavilion, but Second Young Master Lu, you should not have such arrogance...
"But having said that, the secret skills in Xiaoyao Villa are not under Xijian Pavilion. Mr. Lu is too lazy to practice his own martial arts, but he is so interested in a secret book of Yeluzi that comes from somewhere. Why is this?"
"What do you want to say?" Lu Meilang's eyes flashed.
And Lu Jing was not polite, "Could this be because you know that you will never surpass your brother in your own martial arts, so you have to place your hope in other martial arts."
"I just happened to be near Wujiang City at the time and went to watch the excitement." Lu Meilang forcefully defended.
"Does your brother think so too?"
Lu Meilang was silent. After a while, he looked around and then asked, "What do you want?"
"I said it early on, I just want you to stop before it causes a big disaster." Lu Jingdao, "Although you may always feel that your life is very sad and you can only live in the shadow of your brother forever, but In my opinion, just because of your background, you have surpassed most people in this martial arts world.
"Most of the people here downstairs tonight wish they could have everything you have. Don't wait until you lose it to regret it." Lu Jing advised.
…………
After a stick of incense, Lu Jing and Yan Yun met again at the previous place.
Yan Yun asked, "Did you gain anything?"
"I seemed to have stopped a fratricidal war."
Lu Jing paused and continued, "I know why Lu Meilang was absent-minded tonight, because his beloved woman will marry his brother Lu Ping next month and become the young lady of Xiaoyao Villa. So he contacted He recruited some men and planned to attack his brother."
A demonic person? "
"No, just some green forest people who are not afraid of death."
Lu Jingdao said, "White Jade Master Lu Ping has great martial arts skills. Lu Meilang felt that there was little chance of winning in a head-on confrontation, so he found a group of bandits who ran a black shop, and planned to invite Lu Ping to the black shop, drug him and knock him down before taking action. , after killing Lu Ping, he killed those bandits to avenge his brother and at the same time clear himself of suspicion...
"He himself knew that this plan was nonsense, but he had no choice but to give it a try. He is not the person we are looking for tonight."
Lu Jing sighed and said, "Where are you? Did you find anything?"
Yan Yun shook his head, "The four people here have nothing to do with the devil."
"That would be troublesome," Lu Jing smiled bitterly, "Maybe we really have to face strange things tonight."
When he said this, he suddenly paused again.
Because he remembered that he and Yan Yun were investigating the death of Yan Yun's cousin-in-law in Wujiang City. That was the first time the two of them worked together to investigate a case.
Lu Jing wondered if Yan Yun also recalled what happened at that time.
It's a pity that the feelings that night had just begun to spread, and they were cut off by Yan Yun with a swing of his sword.
Just when the two were thinking about their own thoughts, the door of the restaurant opened again, and Abbot Huitong led the monks from Xuankong Temple out.
They were the last group of people to arrive at Lintian Mansion, and they looked dusty, which meant that everyone who came to attend the Righteous Alliance Alliance tonight had finally arrived.
At this time, Li Bufan also came down from the second floor to greet him. After all the eminent monks from Xuankong Temple took their seats.
This time the Righteous Alliance has officially kicked off.
