By the time Lu Yu finished the set of punches in one breath, Xue Wanting had already taken the lead and said before he asked what happened, "What does the senior who gave you the secret book look like?"
Lu Yu looked proud, but he didn't expect that even Wanting, a person who didn't understand martial arts at all, was shocked by his first show of skills.
"Well, let me tell you, this senior is not a liar, right?"
"Don't be proud, tell me quickly"
"He was dressed in commoner clothes and looked like a middle-aged scribe, with an extraordinary demeanor."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"It makes no difference whether he said it or not... Oh, by the way, his skin is very fair, especially his hands, which are like carved from white jade. He also likes to be clean. When he comes here, he never uses things that others have used. The bowls and chopsticks must be replaced with new ones, but it’s still a bit weird.”
This time, Xue Wanting was silent again.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and then said: "If you want to learn this set of boxing, I can teach you step by step until you learn it!"
"I'm not suitable." Xue Wanting refused without thinking.
"You can learn and try it first. Not only can you strengthen your body, but you may also be able to protect yourself at critical moments!"
Xue Wanting waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm a blind man, what's the use of learning boxing."
"Wanting, you can't say that. People can't belittle oneself at any time..."
"Okay, practice your boxing well, I really don't need it."
"All right!"
Seeing Xue Wanting's resolute attitude, Lu Yu couldn't persuade him anymore.
The blind girl knew that the boy was feeling a little disappointed at the moment, so she stood up and patted his shoulder gently.
"This punch is good, you must keep practicing and show me again when you have the chance."
"Yeah, I will definitely stick to it."
…
When going down the mountain, the boy's footsteps were obviously much lighter, and Xue Wanting followed behind leisurely.
It was getting dark soon. When the two of them were about to reach the pine forest at the foot of the mountain, they suddenly heard the roar of a beast in front of them, and all the birds in the forest suddenly flew away.
Lu Yu stopped in shock, and saw a striking yellow and white tiger stepping out of the forest and going upstream along the river, blocking the way of the two of them.
"Old... old... tiger!" Lu Yu was so frightened that he could hardly speak. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, he suddenly saw Xue Wanting behind him. At this moment, the kind-hearted and cowardly young man didn't know what to say. Where did the courage come from? He quickly opened his arms to block the front.
"In the evening pavilion, there is a tiger, run back quickly..."
Lu Yu was still shouting loudly, but the tiger on the opposite side had already opened its bloody mouth and pounced crazily on the two easily accessible prey.
Even though the souls of the dead were in full swing, Lu Yu still gritted his teeth and did not retreat. Relying on the manly passion inspired by the critical moment of life and death, he roared forward and prepared to fight to the death!
Unexpectedly, he suddenly tripped over something and fell down when he was only a few meters away from the tiger. The boy who had already smelled the fishy smell coming from the tiger's mouth went dark. At the last moment when he lost consciousness, all he could think of was A thought, it's over, this little life is finally handed down!
Lu Yu, who had fainted, could never imagine that the stone that tripped him was kicked out by the blind woman behind him who he wanted to protect at all costs.
But the tiger that had already pounced on him staggered in the air and stopped beside Lu Yu's body.
With the unique intuition of ferocious beasts, the tiger instinctively felt the strong danger emanating from this thin prey.
Xue Wanting stared at the king of beasts, which was more than one meter tall, expressionlessly.
"Ouch! Ouch!" The still unwilling tiger kept roaring threateningly.
The blind girl took two steps forward, and the tiger instantly took a step back, its huge claws scratching at the soil uneasily.
When Xue Wanting walked completely in front of him, the eye-catching tiger that was roaring a second ago became as supple as a domestic dog in the blink of an eye, sticking out its white tongue, and lying on the ground with all four limbs.
Xue Wanting squatted down and ignored the tiger that surrendered to him. He lowered his head to inspect the injury on Lu Yu's forehead.
At this moment, there was a roar, and the tiger was suddenly blown away more than ten meters away. Its body like a mountain rolled down the river, causing a series of splashes.
Xue Wanting gently picked up the young man's body and teleported in front of the tiger that launched the sneak attack. He raised his feet and dropped them. The huge tiger head suddenly shattered and the blood stained it red.

Pei Liang simply changed his appearance and left Lu Mansion alone.
The purpose of this trip is very simple. Walk around Yujing City to see if I can find any clues about He Xiaotang's whereabouts.
This baby kiss was very important in Pei Liang's heart. From beginning to end, he only revealed it to Yao Niang, and never relied on anyone else's help.
With the power of the Lu family, it would be much more efficient to help investigate a person, but Pei Liang has never opened his mouth, so there are some things that he can only do by himself.
I asked countless Goulan restaurants along the way, but they all said they had never heard of this person. Pei Liang had long been accustomed to being cautious. Whenever he went to a place, he would first use money to clear the way, and then ask round and round questions, so as not to reveal his purpose easily. These waiters would not reveal their purpose easily. And Turtle Slave, who is most eye-catching when it comes to money, will help and pay attention even if he doesn't know.
It seemed that it was another fruitless night. Pei Liang was walking by the river and was about to go home when he suddenly heard a noise, mixed with the sweet sounds of silk and bamboo.
In the distance, a painting boat floats down the river, with bright lights and shadows of people.
Pei Liang recognized the people on the boat at a glance. They were the Tianshan Sect group that he had met in his senior brother's tavern.
The four of them sat around the small stove in the bow, warming wine, watching the ladies singing and dancing, talking and laughing.
Pei Liang was really envious of this relaxed and happy atmosphere, but the disguise he was wearing made it difficult to greet him. After taking a few steps forward, a figure suddenly stood in front of Pei Liang.
The person who came was none other than Ding Baiqing, who was holding a long sword.
"Your Excellency must have been working hard to keep an eye on us all the way."
Pei Liang was speechless. Apparently, he was mistaken by the Tianshan faction as a spy who was following him.
At this time, other disciples on the painting boat also rushed to the shore. Pei Liang was afraid of causing trouble and wanted to retreat. Without saying a word, Ding Baiqing drew out his long sword and stabbed Pei Liang straight in the face.
This Tianshan swordsmanship was dense and fierce. Pei Liang flicked his finger and swung the sword away. The next killing move came one after another. The sword light was slanted and pierced from the lower jaw. It was hard to guard against.
Pei Liang deliberately tested the martial arts of the Tianshan sect. After easily dodging them, he did not evacuate and allowed himself to be surrounded. Ding Baiqing also realized that the person in front of him was unusual. He put away his intention of underestimating the enemy, raised his sword and attacked again. With a move of poisonous snake spitting, the shining sword tip made a clear trembling sound. Pei Liang also swung the sword with two fingers, but unexpectedly the sword tip The moment the finger came into contact, a force suddenly bypassed it by three inches and stabbed straight into the throat.
The exquisiteness and viciousness of this move even impressed Pei Liang. However, in front of masters of the Heaven Realm who have advanced to unknown levels, no matter how stunning the sword move is without the support of the realm, it is like an embroidered pillow or a silver wax spear head. Flashy and vulnerable.
Ding Baiqing saw the tip of the sword being swung away by Pei Liang at lightning speed, and finally his expression changed, and he flew up, his true energy pouring into the sword body, and a mist visible to the naked eye fell in the air.
This sword has obviously reached the threshold of the Jiugong realm's true energy transformation, and Pei Liang can also feel Ding Baiqing's quite impressive sword intent from it.
Even so, the sword energy of this blow was just like scratching an itch, and Pei Liang waved his sleeve and shot it away.
Qin Ying on the side could no longer hold back, drew out the short knife from his waist, and attacked Pei Liang's path quickly.
"stop!"
Hearing Ding Baiqing's clear voice, Qin Ying's sword had already been deployed and he couldn't close it in time. Pei Liang had to take a step back, and Ding Baiqing waved his sword to seal the short sword. At the same time, the remaining two people from the Tianshan faction quickly blocked Pei Liang's attack in order to prevent him from suddenly attacking. In front of fellow disciples.
"Misunderstood."
Pei Liang smiled slightly and took off the mask on his face.
———
The rest of the people on the painting boat were all kicked off the boat.
Pei Liang and four people from the Tianshan faction sat around the table, all surrounded by curtains.
Qin Ying poured Pei Liang the warm wine with a smile on her face. Pei Liang was not polite and drank a bowl in one go.
"In the past, I only knew that Brother Pei had an incredible drinking capacity, but I didn't expect that his martial arts skills were so unfathomable!"
Pei Liang waved his hand quickly: "It's not worth mentioning."
Ding Baiqing immediately stood up, with a compelling heroic spirit in his eyes, and said loudly: "Ding was discourteous first. I am willing to punish myself with three bowls. Please bear witness."
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Ding Baiqing grabbed the wine jar, poured a full bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Just as Pei Liang was about to stand up to persuade him, he was grabbed by the skirt of his clothes by Ma Guan on the side.
"As my senior sister, I am as heroic as a man. I do what I say, so Brother Pei doesn't have to worry about her."
"Girl Bai Qing's drinking capacity, looking at the entire Tianshan sect, is only lower than mine...haha"
Qin Ying's words made everyone burst into laughter. Pei Liang also smiled and sat down. Seeing Ding Baiqing eating one bowl after another without any sloppiness, he felt a lot of admiration in his heart.
Ding Baiqing wiped his mouth and sat down. His eyes met Pei Liang inadvertently, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on his normally normal face.
Qin Ying's mind was the most delicate, and when he saw it, he felt happy in his heart. He was about to say something to make fun of him, but unexpectedly Ding Baiqing gave him a seductive look, which frightened the seven-foot tall man and immediately lowered his head and became silent.
"The imperial court's motives for recruiting Jianghu forces are impure. There must be many sects who are unwilling to submit!"
Pei Liang suddenly spoke.
Xu Yuan and Ma Guan looked at each other and nodded.
Ding Baiqing answered: "The purpose of the Imperial Court's establishment of the Imperial Military Division is to eliminate dissidents. Although our Tianshan Sect has declined, we will never be a hawk for the Imperial Court!"
These words were resounding and had the awe-inspiring righteousness of a well-known and upright family.
Pei Liang couldn't help but clasped his fists: "Pei is a loner and does not belong to any force. He is also willing to do his part for the righteousness of the world. If you need anything, you can come to that tavern to find me."
"happy!"
Qin Ying slapped the table, causing the wine to overflow. She stood up and was about to pour wine for Pei Liang.
Maguan and Xu Yuan also stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.
I saw Ding Baiqing holding the wine bowl with both hands in high spirits, and said with a smile: "Brother Pei's words clearly show the benevolence of the knight. If you don't dislike it, the Tianshan Sect is willing to make you your friend!"
