#386 - Could it be him?
The three women upstairs were also anxiously watching the battle on the river from the window.
Xie Yu didn't understand martial arts. Seeing so many people besieging Lu Jing, she couldn't help but worry and said, "Oh dear, will this Lu Daren be alright?"
As she spoke, she looked at Qing Lan beside her, the only one among the three who had practiced martial arts, and also from a famous school. Her martial arts were quite outstanding, and like all disciples of famous schools, her vision was also very sharp.
Xie Yu had heard her comment on the current martial arts masters before, and she really had the air of discussing heroes over wine.
Especially when she talked about Lu Jing, who had recently appeared on the Tianji Ranking, she praised him wildly, wishing she could use all the words of praise on him. She even shamelessly said things like "unprecedented and unsurpassed."
Xie Yu remembered Qing Lan's appearance after getting drunk that day, with one foot on the table, hiccuping and gesticulating, "What is the concept of practicing Little Vajra Strength to the first-class level? You people who don't practice martial arts can't understand at all, how terrifying is this person's martial arts talent!
"Is Yan Yun powerful? She has always been the number one among the younger generation, and also the most enchanting person I have ever seen, but I dare to guarantee that if she wasn't born in the Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, and her identity was swapped with Lu Jing, letting her practice Little Vajra Strength.
"Hehe, I can't say that she definitely can't reach the first-class level, but she definitely can't become a first-class master at her current age! Understand? In terms of martial arts talent alone, this person is the best in the world."
However, when Xie Yu looked at Qing Lan again this time, she didn't expect the latter to be distracted.
Qing Lan was feeling very bad right now. Although she had survived by chance, she was not happy at all.
Thinking that this Lu had such good martial arts, but didn't say anything along the way, keeping it from her, he was simply making a fool of her.
Moreover, it would be fine if he was just fooling her, but he also fooled the woman who listened to the zither together. Thinking of the life and death parting they had just had here, but this guy was watching the excitement, probably secretly laughing in his heart, Qing Lan's face felt hot, and she couldn't help but get angry.
But after she was angry, she recalled the scene when she and Lu Jing first met, and she was surprised to realize that the other party seemed to have indeed said that he didn't need her help.
It was just that at that time, she thought that Lu Jing was just a poor worm who had already stepped into the trap but was still unaware, and regarded the other party's refusal as ignorance, and dragged Lu Jing onto the boat without saying a word.
After that, she was complacent, excitedly showing off in front of the other party, hinting at asking for rewards, but the Lu guy had always been very polite, didn't blame her, and promised to accompany her to see the woman who listened to the zither.
Thinking of this, Qing Lan felt her face burning even more, and she couldn't even bother to watch the battle below, until Xie Yu called her twice, and her thoughts were brought back.
Then she saw Xie Yu staring at her face, which was as red as a monkey's butt, and asked with concern, "Qing Lan, what's wrong with you? Are you sick, or did you suffer internal injuries before?"
"I'm fine." Qing Lan stammered and shook her head, quickly turning her attention back to the battle in front of her.
But if she didn't look, it wouldn't matter, but once she looked, Qing Lan was shocked again, "This is… staff technique?!"
"What staff technique?" Xie Yu asked in confusion, "Isn't he holding a stick in his hand?"
Because they are now fighting Lu Jing with the combined strength of everyone, and everyone has to be on their toes. Once a link goes wrong, the collapse will be a matter of blinking an eye, and the result will be borne by everyone.
In fact, although it is already late autumn, the foreheads and backs of many people are soaked with sweat, and wisps of white smoke are rising from the tops of many people's heads. This is a sign of urging internal force to the extreme.
And this scene finally confirmed Qing Lan's previous guess, the Lu guy is indeed a first-class master.
Because a non-first-class master can't stop the siege of so many people.
At this time, the woman who listened to the zither on the other side also opened her mouth and said, "Lu, southern accent, using staff technique, highly skilled in martial arts, young, and showed a hand of boxing… could it be the person you mentioned before?"
Qing Lan's heart also shook violently when she heard this.
She didn't answer the woman who listened to the zither immediately, but in fact, she already had the answer.
The main reason is that there are too few young first-class masters. Looking at the entire martial arts world, there are only two first-class masters under the age of twenty, and they are a man and a woman, so it is easy to recognize.
"It's really him," Qing Lan murmured, "There were rumors a few months ago that he came to the capital, but then there was no news of him in the capital. I didn't expect him to still be here."
On the other side, the woman who listened to the zither also fell into deep thought, but what she was thinking about was the relationship between Mr. Nan Zhai and Lu Jing, wondering if the two met by chance, or if there was a deeper reason.
Only Xie Yu didn't think so much, she just looked at the figure on the river, her eyes sparkling.
Although she doesn't understand the affairs of the martial world, Lu Jing's name is now a household name, and with Qing Lan, this Lu fan, she has been full of curiosity about Lu Jing for a long time.
It's rare to be able to meet the real person today, Xie Yu naturally won't let go of this feast for the eyes, and she also sighed while watching, "I feel like he's not like the martial arts people I usually see, not so rough and unrestrained, not paying attention to trivial matters, but he's much more approachable than I imagined, not arrogant at all, by the way, he greeted me when he came in before, and most importantly, he's also very good-looking."
"This dead woman is acting like a nympho again." Qing Lan scolded.
"In your words, I live on men's money, so am I not allowed to be a nympho for men?" Xie Yu retorted righteously, which made Qing Lan speechless.
And just as the two were talking, the originally balanced situation on the river finally changed again.
Those martial arts people had been struggling for a long time, but unfortunately they still couldn't wait for Lu Jing to show signs of fatigue. On the contrary, they themselves had become exhausted.
This also made them more and more flustered. Finally, someone failed to take over the position of the previous person, giving Lu Jing a chance.
