Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 410: You’re the Same Lu Yang Who Dared to Beat Up Even the Judges?
Chapter 410: You’re the Same Lu Yang Who Dared to Beat Up Even the Judges?
Brother Zhao was a jianghu veteran. While Young Miss Ye and Young Miss Wenren were wandering the jianghu for the first time, he had done so for two to three years.
During their travels, his rich experience made him the de facto big brother of their trio. Yet, never in his wildest dreams had he imagined that out of “three brothers,” he would turn out to be the only man!
How am I supposed to show my face if word gets out?
Lu Yang patted Brother Zhao’s shoulder to console him.
Though Brother Zhao did not feel consoled.
My walking corpses are still best—at least, they won’t lie to me.
Young Miss Ye’s eyes reddened as she gazed at everyone with reluctance. “My family allowed me to leave home, but only on the condition that I never reveal my true gender. If I’m exposed, I must return immediately.”
Initially, she thought that even if her identity was exposed, confessing to Brother Wenren would make it worthwhile. If he accepted, she could have let him marry into the Ye Family and enjoy a life of luxury as a live-in son-in-law.
In hindsight, I had painted a picture that was too rosy. Not only has my identity been exposed, forcing me to return as agreed, but my heartfelt confession was also rejected on the spot.
Her cheeks burned red. Even if her family didn’t demand that she return, she was embarrassed to stay here any longer.
Young Miss Wenren wore a similar expression as she bid farewell with a downcast tone. “I’m from the Wenren Clan of Liang Province. My situation is roughly the same as Young Miss Ye’s. The clan elders assured me that this thumb ring is a spirit treasure of supreme quality and impossible to see through unless I remove it willingly. Now that I have, I have no choice but to return home.”
When Lu Yang asked which of them was a woman disguised as a man, her expression had also shifted, thinking he had seen through her. She had been about to remove her thumb ring to lift her disguise and confess to Brother Ye, only for him to beat her to it.
Not that the outcome would have been different.
Wenren Family of Liang Province? Lu Yang had heard snippets of information about this clan. They were a branch divided from the Barbarian Tribe, and they changed their surname from “Man” to “Wenren” when they migrated to Liang Province.
Those who have traveled near the Western Region would discover many people with bronze complexions there. If one seriously looked into it, Young Miss Wenren might even be related to Man Gu.
“You’re from the Wenren Family?” Young Miss Ye was surprised. As a fellow member of a Liang Province ancestral clan, she had naturally heard of the Wenren Family.
“Mmm, I’m Wenren Hui.”
“Shall we return together? For companionship?”
“Sure.”
“Shall I escort you two?” Though Brother Zhao had been deceived, he still carried himself with the bearing of a big brother.
“No need, no need.” The two women hastily declined. Having deceived him all this time, they couldn’t bring themselves to trouble him any further.
After seeing the two women off, only Lu Yang, Brother Zhao, and an unresponsive walking corpse remained.
“Right, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Lu Yang of the Dao-Seeking Sect.” Lu Yang had just recovered from the astonishment of discovering the two women’s disguises.
Brother Zhao widened his eyes, staring at Lu Yang incredulously. “You’re from the Dao-Seeking Sect?!” I didn’t expect such an impressive background. No wonder he could see through the disguises that had eluded me.
“Wait, Lu Yang? The same Lu Yang who made a dazzling show of strength at the Qing Province Grand Ceremony, crushed all challengers, seized first place, and dared to beat up even the judges?!” Brother Zhao was floored.
Every cultivator of the younger generation had heard of Lu Yang’s name. As someone from the Five Great Immortal Sects, he already drew plenty of attention. Add to that Lu Yang’s magnificent feat of fighting Foundation Establishment opponents as a Golden Core cultivator and beating up the judges, it was hard not to notice him.
Lu Yang had been cultivating recently and had not left the sect. Otherwise, he would have realized just how much the outside world was gossiping about him and Meng Jingzhou.
“Hold on, what do you mean by I dared to beat up even the judges? ...Though it seems like it’s not entirely wrong.” I had clearly challenged fellow prodigies from immortal sects! How did the rumors distort that into beating up the judges?
Who spread this rumor?! I’ve got to hand it to them!
“You may not have heard of me, Senior Brother Lu. I’m Zhao Po of the Corpse-Driving Sect,” Zhao Po humbly said. Though he was considered exceptional among the younger generation, he paled in comparison to Lu Yang.
“I’ve heard of you. Corpse-Driving Sect’s Number Two.”
Lu Yang recalled a mostly useless intelligence in the report he had purchased from the merchant guild. The Corpse-Driving Sect’s grand tournament has concluded. The victor, Huang Ming, just turned eighteen and is at the Basic Golden Core Stage. He has already been taken in as the sect leader’s final disciple. The runner-up, Zhao Po, also just turned eighteen and is at the Basic Golden Core Stage.
“Second place in the sect’s grand tournament,” Zhao Po corrected Lu Yang.
“More or less the same. Let’s go, my brother Meng Jingzhou is ahead. You probably have heard of him.” Lu Yang grinned, not expecting to run into someone from the Corpse-Driving Sect here. This saves me lots of trouble.
Zhao Po lit up. I didn’t expect a random passer-by to be the Lu Yang, and soon, I’ll meet the Meng Jingzhou, both of whom are currently in the spotlight.
Though my little team disbanded right after Lu Yang appeared.
“But aren’t there experts battling ahead? Can we pass?”
“What battle? That’s just Old Meng’s curse. All women will be kept away from him. That’s why you couldn’t advance!” Lu Yang’s grief twisted into laughter.
Zhao Po was intimidated by the curse. “There’s such a curse? Is it from the Seven-Emotions Valley? That’s not right either. How would they dare target a Dao-Seeking Sect disciple?”
“It’s...complicated. We came to Wilderness Province to fix this problem.”
When the two arrived at the carriage, the rain had cleared, and Meng Jingzhou had cleared the path blocked by the mudslide. Now, he was happily enjoying his barbeque meal. freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Haha, Old Meng, I’m back! What an adventure this journey was! What’s that? You’re asking me what happened? Then I’ll have to tell you properly!” Lu Yang didn’t care whether Meng Jingzhou asked and launched into the tale of his journey.
“Let me tell you, it’s really a pity you couldn’t go! After I set off, I first ran into two noble young ladies being kidnapped. I played the hero rescuing the damsels in distress, and they wanted to repay me by promising themselves to me in marriage. Then, I met a heroic female armed escort who got ambushed by robbers, and I saved her too. She was extremely grateful and hinted that I could go to the armed escort agency to marry her. After that, I came across a martial arts contest for marriage. I must admit, the girl was quite the beauty.
“When I arrived at the nearest city, I encountered a young ruffian harassing a woman on the streets. How could I let that slide? I decisively stepped in and beat both the younger one and the older one, sorting out the entire family until they submitted to me obediently. The woman I saved even said that she had no way to repay me and wanted to offer herself in marriage too.
“Say, how could this journey have been so so so eventful? Don’t you agree, Old Meng?!” Lu Yang shook his head, looking like he wished for more.
Meng Jingzhou’s eyes were burning red with envy.
Zhao Po stood silently to the side, weighing whether he should spectate or intervene if a fight broke out.
I heard they’re both at the Basic Golden Core Stage, and so am I. Surely I can hold them back if it really comes to a fight...right?
