Under One Person: One Person Goes

Chapter 42: What a good mouthful!

At the Lu family birthday banquet, Lu Jin and Li Muxuan, two top disciples of the Sanyi Sect, performed a series of sliding tackles and tiger-crouching gestures in front of Zhang Zhiwei, and finally took the opportunity to introduce the so-called Sanyi Sect's outer disciple Wang Yi.

The situation changed rapidly, and it was completely beyond the expectations of the elders who wanted to watch Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei compete. It also made the younger generation feel like they were being made a fool of.

"Hey, you hypocrite! I just found you more pleasing to the eye after not seeing you for a few months. At your grandfather's birthday party, you are so mean to your grandfather and us, right? Senior Brother from the outer sect of Trinity Sect? I have never heard of the term "outer sect" in Trinity Sect!"

The first person to lose his temper was Lu Ci, the young master of the Lu family. At that time, he did not yet have the nickname of a mad dog.

Like Li Muxuan, he is the youngest child in the family and is doted on by his father and brothers, but he is not spoiled to the extreme like Li Muxuan. He respects his eldest brother Lu Ren the most.

Unfortunately, the Anti-Japanese War broke out later, and Lu Ren died for his country while fighting against the Japanese alien world. In order to shoulder the responsibility of the family, Lu Ci turned from a young master into a mad dog.

But now, he is just simply unhappy. It is unreasonable that you two brothers are building up momentum for these two and making fun of us as well.

"Lü Ci, I was reckless this time. After the banquet, serving tea and water is fine. What you may not know is that in March of the beginning of the year, Senior Brother Mu Xuan and I were knocked unconscious by Senior Brother Wang Yi with a slap each. If Senior Brother Zhang knocks us unconscious again this time, we will be too embarrassed to face others. If you can't win, you should admit defeat. Besides, this way we can watch a good show~"

In the original work, Lu Jin was still very arrogant during this period, because in the original work, Li Muxuan did not become a disciple of Sanyi Sect, nor did he become Lu Jin's junior brother, nor did Wang Yi, a time traveler who was higher in cultivation than Lu Jin from the beginning. In the entire Sanyi Sect, Lu Jin's status was no different from Zhang Zhiwei's status in Longhu Mountain.

That’s why there is the famous scene in the original work where Zhang Zhiwei slaps Lu Jin and makes her cry.

But in the world where Wang Yi intervened, Lu Jin knew that Li Muxuan was as talented as himself from the moment he was accepted as a registered disciple. He wanted to defeat his senior brother at any time, so he did not dare to slack off in his training. In the small town under the mountain gate, there lived a young Wang Yi, whose cultivation was already as good as that of some sect leaders. Lu Jin was not an idiot, so how could he maintain the arrogance of being the best in the Sanyi Sect?

Naturally, after being knocked unconscious by Wang Yi and then waking up again, he received advice from his mentor Zuo Rutong and became more tactful in dealing with people.

After a series of words, he apologized to Lu Ci and explained the cause and effect, which made the hot-tempered Lu Ci speechless. He just stared at Wang Yi, who responded to Zhang Zhiwei's challenge with neither humility nor arrogance, and wanted to see how deep he was.

As for the other young people, they had similar thoughts as Lu Ci and cast curious glances. But this birthday banquet was hosted by the Lu family, and the host family didn't say anything, so they were sensible and couldn't spoil the fun.

"Okay, Lu Ci, now that Brother Lu has given a reason, let's just treat it as a good show." Lu Ren, the eldest brother behind Lu Ci, spoke, and Lu Ci had no choice but to give up.

Among the four famous families, there is a consensus on the future heads of Lu, Lu and Wang. That is, Lu is not kind, Wang is not kind, and Lu Jin is flawless but has shortcomings.

The only exception was Lu Ren, the eldest son of the Lu family, who sacrificed his life for his country during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. He was a truly kind person. His status in the Lu family was equivalent to that of the crown prince Zhu Biao. Unfortunately, due to the turbulent situation at the time, he died young.

He is about the same age as Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei, and can be considered an older brother among the younger generation. When he stands up, the younger generation also consciously waits for him to speak.

"Before coming here, I also heard the news from Jianghu Inn. Wang Yi, who learned from Quan Xing's Ghost Hand King, practiced the Eight Directions Reversal, but also drew a clear line with Quan Xing. Is that true or not?"

"Exactly."

Wang Yi was also very polite to the eldest brother of the Lu family and nodded in response.

"Okay, the news from Jianghu Inn is credible. Everyone, let's see what kind of good show this Senior Brother Wang and Senior Brother Zhang will bring us. But Lu Jin, you and your senior brothers should not be idle. How did this Senior Brother Wang become the senior brother of your Sanyi Sect? You have to explain the reason. We can't let you make fun of us like this for no reason."

"That's right, Master and the elders at home didn't allow me to tell outsiders about these things before, but now that everyone is here, including Senior Brother Mu Xuan, Senior Brother Mu Xuan and I will explain it to everyone to avoid misunderstandings when we meet in the future."

Lu Jin was a smooth person in dealing with people, and Lu Ren, the eldest son of the Lu family, was not bad either. This conversation between the two of them helped to dispel much of the resentment among the younger generation of alien children in this courtyard.

At the main table, Lu Xuan, the successor head of the Lu family, Lu Jin's biological father, and the head of the Wang family also said a few words of congratulations to the head of the Lu family.

"Brother, your two sons are really good, unlike this silly boy of mine. It seems that your two families will have to take him out to play together more often in the future."

"Don't say that. Your son is also very cute."

The Wang family patriarch rolled his eyes and said, "You two might as well not praise me!"

As we all know, when you can't point out the specific advantages of a boy/girl, you usually say he/she is cute.

With the cooperation of the two future heads of the family, Lu Ren and Lu Jin, this play of setting an example and building momentum for Zhang Zhiwei and Wang Yi has reached its key part.

"Brother Liang, why don't you go over there too? It won't hurt to get to know them."

"Will they accept me?"

"Not everyone is like the blind bastards of the Mojin Rougu Sect. You are a rough diamond." As he spoke, Wang Yi also said loudly to the younger generation of disciples headed by the four famous families: "Everyone, this is my friend who is traveling with me. His name is Liang Ting, and his courtesy name is Jiahai. He is considered an abandoned disciple of the Mojin Rougu Sect. But if you feel itchy and eager to fight later, you can find Brother Liang to practice with. As an abandoned disciple, he has the appearance of a master, and will definitely benefit you a lot."

As he spoke, he patted Liang Ting on the shoulder behind him and pushed him towards the crowd.

It was also the first time that Liang Ting was not met with any malicious gazes in front of so many young people. Instead, he was met with curiosity and interest. This was a treatment he had never enjoyed before.

"Let alone other things, this boy's speech and manners are indeed very different from that ruffian of Ghost Hand King. It doesn't look like he can be taught by Ghost Hand King at all. Brother Zuo, can you clear up my confusion?" Taoist Zhang Jingqing, who was sitting at the main table, looked at Wang Yi with his tiger eyes.

From Wang Yi eating at the same table with Zhang Zhiwei, to accepting the challenge without arrogance, to giving Liang Ting a chance to integrate into the circle of extraordinary people, Zhang Jingqing had to admit that if he met this kid, he would also want to take him as his disciple. No wonder Zuo Ruotong liked him so much, but he also had the same idea as Zuo Ruotong at that time, could this guy be taught by the Ghost Hand King?

"According to the reason I gave him when I first met him, Wang Yaozu pulled him out of the dead, provided him with food and clothing, and taught him skills. Therefore, he had to recognize Wang Yaozu as his master. He had no choice."

"There are still some loopholes. The phrase 'learning by doing' is not just a casual remark."

"Then let the child tell us himself when the time comes. Master, just wait and see. The good show you want to see is here."

Zuo Ruotong pointed at the group of young men who had voluntarily cleared the yard to leave room for Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei to compete. The heads of various sects and families also understood the cause and effect of the conversation between Zuo Ruotong and Zhang Tianshi, and their interest was piqued.

The most interested among them was the Jiyun Society, a strange sect based in the capital. The sect leader and the disciple Liao Tianlin who came this time were both interested in Wang Yi. There was no other reason for this, because Wang Yi's current method was called Reversing the Eight Directions.

In the Jiyun Society, a society where all kinds of extraordinary people huddle together for warmth, there is an extraordinary person who can reverse the eight directions. Even Liao Tianlin, a disciple of the Jiyun Society who will become sworn brothers with the Quanxing Sect leader Wu Gensheng and be called the Thirty-Six Thieves, knows a thing or two about this technique.
-
The yard of the Lu family compound had been cleared. Wang Yi looked at Zhang Zhiwei who was waiting for him there, picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into his mouth, then walked towards Zhang Zhiwei happily.

"You didn't eat my chicken leg, did you?" As he came closer, Zhang Zhiwei's first sentence made Wang smile.

"No, who wants to eat the chicken drumstick you licked? I prefer braised pork, preferably with more spicy sauce."

"Then come to our Longhu Mountain when you have time. Spicy food is a delicacy there. It's very delicious."

"Yes, everything changes throughout the ages, only food lasts forever."

The two chatted about family matters like friends, but no one dared to interrupt.

Because at this time all the young generation discovered that when Wang Yi approached Zhang Zhiwei, an invisible force was released from the two of them, which stunned the whole audience. Only Zhang Tianshi, Zuo Rutong and other leaders of the Xuanmen could ignore it.

But such performance has already told everyone present that the young generation present is no match for either Wang Yi or Zhang Zhiwei.

The power of the two is like the mighty power of heaven, which makes people unable to resist; it is also like the gentle breeze and drizzle, which makes people yearn for it.

Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei looked at each other, and then looked at the surrounding area tacitly.

"I can't use it~" Zhang Zhiwei said directly.

"Indeed, if we fight, it will be like turning the table upside down. We won't be able to eat anymore." Wang Yi nodded in agreement.

"What should I do?"

"Show off your skills first, then change places to fight, but you have to slow down a bit so they don't catch up."

"Okay, then, Junior Brother Wang, how about clapping your hands?"

Agreeing with Wang Yi's proposal, Zhang Zhiwei, who was half a head taller than Wang Yi, stretched out his right hand and gestured to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi also raised his right hand, then looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said something.

"Brother Zhang, there is something I think only you can understand."

"what?"

"Zhang Zhiwei, I still don't believe you are the best in the world~"

Zhang Zhiwei was stunned, and then Wang Yi took advantage of Zhang Zhiwei's distraction to take the lead, but his speed was ordinary.

"Haha, I don't believe it now~"

Zhang Zhiwei reacted and laughed out loud, then stretched out his right hand and touched Wang Yi's palm.

A simple high-five sent out a strong gust of wind between Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei, blowing up dust in the courtyard.

When a strong wind blew, the children of each family had to use various means to protect the dishes on the table. Looking at the two people in the strong wind, they couldn't help but squint their eyes in the blowing sand. At this moment, they finally understood the gap between them and Wang Yi and Zhang Zhiwei.

What's worse is that some people just want to watch the fun and shout directly.

"What a mouthful!"
