Ch 128: The most dazzling person at the Banquet!

Everyone in the audience stared intently at Lu Qing’an, from head to toe, as if trying to find something on him.

Wang Xiaohong frowned, secretly startled.

He had actually guessed wrong! What secretive methods did this kid use to be so unpredictable in the duel!

This battle, given Lu Qing’an’s ranking of fiftieth in the Inner Sect assessment, will surely make him a sensation in the Xianjian Sect, making his name known!

Many Supreme Elders will probably compete to take him as their direct disciple.

Xu Qingying gazed at Lu Qing’an with a smile. At this moment, she could no longer hide her admiration. This was Lu Qing’an’s true style!

A slight display already showed sharp brilliance, attracting attention.

At this time, on the stage, Du Weiwei walked out of the formation alone.

She looked around in slight bewilderment, finding the whole audience silent, like a graveyard at night.

Everyone’s gaze fell on her and Lu Qing’an. When looking at Lu Qing’an, there was awe, incomprehension, and even shock; while looking at her, there was a bit of pity?

Du Weiwei also looked at Lu Qing’an, finding Lu Qing’an already sitting there calmly, and chuckled wryly.

It seems that I am also inferior to him in cultivation and combat talent.

After fighting for so long, she still couldn’t find Lu Qing’an’s true location, while Lu Qing’an only used one eerie move throughout the entire process, revealing all her hidden strengths.

Of course, losing this sparring match to Lu Qing’an was also related to her initial statement of not using Treasures.

If both of them used Treasures, she would also have a way to quickly find Lu Qing’an’s true body.

There’s no need for precise searching. Directly using a Treasure with large-scale covering power, covering a certain distance, would always force out Lu Qing’an’s true body.

But if it’s said from the beginning that Treasures could be used, it would be somewhat bullying the other person.

Du Weiwei walked gracefully back to her original position, smiling at Lu Qing’an, and said, “Martial Friend, I lost again this time. Can’t you show a little mercy and let me win?”

As she spoke, her pretty eyes flickered, with a hint of resentment.

Lu Qing’an laughed aloud and said, “Sparring with a Daoist friend, how dare I be even slightly negligent? That would be disrespectful to my opponent.”

In fact, he wanted to say in his heart, I’ve already been lenient…

I only used the strongest body technique the whole time.

Du Weiwei had no intention of blaming him, but instead felt even more determined to have her father take Lu Qing’an as a disciple.

This is a rare genius!

With this unique move alone, in the Xianjian Sect, I’m afraid that no one at the same realm can win against Lu Qing’an!

Such a genius will surely be sought after by the various Supreme Elders, competing to take him as a direct disciple.

“Martial Friend, my father has no direct disciples yet. I wonder what your impression of my father is?” After thinking for a moment, she finally asked publicly, wanting to seize the opportunity.

“I have long admired Senior Du Feng. Joining the Xianjian Sect this time, if I can be favored by Senior Du Feng and taken as a direct disciple, it will be a worthwhile trip.”

Lu Qing’an publicly gave his answer.

He came to the Xianjian Sect for Du Feng.

To be more blunt, he came for the High-Grade Lifespan Exchange Tower.

“Haha, then it’s a win-win situation.” Du Weiwei actually wanted to take Lu Qing’an to find her father right now, but coincidentally, her father had just gained some insights this morning and went into brief seclusion, and would not leave seclusion until at least tomorrow afternoon.

Those nearby who heard this cast envious glances.

Supreme Elder Du Feng held a very high position in the Xianjian Sect, was the Sect Leader’s senior martial brother, held significant power, and owned a large number of properties in Wangxu City. Many geniuses would fight to be noticed by Du Feng and become his direct disciple.

However, Du Feng’s standards were extremely high, and he had declared to the outside world that he only accepted geniuses who appeared once in a thousand or even ten thousand years.

Not long ago, when Xu Qingying was still an Inner Sect Disciple and awakened her special constitution, Du Feng had considered taking her as a direct disciple, and even specially asked his daughter to develop a good relationship with Xu Qingying, but unexpectedly, she was taken by her senior martial sister.

Previously, he also favored Zhen Yongfu, but Zhen Yongfu already had a master, so he could do nothing.

Now that such a Wu Ciren has appeared, he naturally wants to seize the opportunity.

Du Weiwei was overjoyed. After coming out of the formation, she directly asked Zhen Yongfu to give up his seat, sat next to Lu Qing’an, and wanted to chat more with Lu Qing’an about the details of the battle.

But soon.

She learned the truth about the battle from others.

Someone walked to her side and quietly told her what they saw in the banquet hall.

Du Weiwei then discovered that she had been kept in the dark!

Her gaze turned resentful towards Lu Qing’an again.

She originally thought that Lu Qing’an was in the formation fighting her! Unexpectedly, she had been fighting wits with air the whole time!

But this also further illustrates Lu Qing’an’s unpredictability!

These methods are truly incredible! Her chest rose and fell slightly, and she took several deep breaths before calming down.

“Martial Friend, it seems you haven’t used your full strength just now.”

Du Weiwei glared at Lu Qing’an.

Lu Qing’an still smiled, “I have already exerted my utmost effort.”

“I believe you like hell.” Du Weiwei playfully said.

Xu Qingying watched this scene, a strange emotion flashed in her heart, and she immediately did not want to look at Lu Qing’an anymore.

You guys are so happy.

Lu Qing’an seemed to sense something, looked back at her, and then restrained some of his smile.

“Martial Friend’s performance just now truly amazed the entire audience! Haha, I was also shocked.” Wang Xiaohong interjected again at this time, but when he spoke, there was a well-hidden malevolence in his heart.

It looks like Lu Qing’an will surely be taken as a direct disciple by Du Feng, then the task assigned by his father will be difficult to complete.

Recalling Lu Qing’an’s uniqueness and strength just now, a trace of indelible jealousy arose in his heart.

Especially now seeing Du Weiwei treating Lu Qing’an like this. It formed a stark contrast to how she treated him earlier!

“Daoist Friend is too kind.” Lu Qing’an stared at Wang Xiaohong for a moment, faintly sensing that the other party seemed to have a slight displeasure towards him.

Perhaps the strength he displayed stimulated Wang Xiaohong, after all, Wang Xiaohong was also a genius, just as there is literary rivalry, there is also rivalry among geniuses.

Or perhaps he clearly stated his intention to become Du Feng’s disciple, making Wang Xiaohong’s previous invitation a joke.

Or it might be related to Du Weiwei.

Obviously, Wang Xiaohong liked Du Weiwei, as could be seen from his conversation with Du Weiwei after entering.

And now, Du Weiwei’s attitude towards him was much better than before when she was with Wang Xiaohong.

“No need to be humble, this is the praise you deserve.” Wang Xiaohong didn’t want to show his displeasure, otherwise it would be self-defeating and humiliating.

Lu Qing’an smiled faintly without speaking, not wanting to say more to him.

Du Weiwei completely ignored Wang Xiaohong and continued to discuss the details of the sparring match with Lu Qing’an.

The banquet gradually came to an end.

Finally ended.

After the end, all the geniuses left one after another, and Wang Xiaohong did not cause any more trouble, leaving with a group of his subordinates.

Xu Qingying looked deeply at Lu Qing’an, seemingly reluctant, and finally bid farewell. She remembered the rules Lu Qing’an had set in the past, only in this way could she continue to maintain contact with him.

Zhen Yongfu and Lu Qing’an also followed Du Weiwei out of the Zui Xian Lou. As soon as they reached the door, they saw Wang Xiaohong again leading a group of subordinates, beating up Zhao Dezhu and others who were waiting outside.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhu and others were limping, bruised and swollen, and unable to stand steadily, swaying precariously.

Even in this state, they were still waiting outside. From the looks of it, they should be waiting for Du Weiwei to come out.

However, Wang Xiaohong and his men arrived first.

Du Weiwei also glanced over there, then shook her head, said goodbye to Lu Qing’an, and flew towards the Xianjian Sect.

Lu Qing’an and Zhen Yongfu exchanged glances, and then the two flew in another direction.

After confirming that Du Weiwei had left, Wang Xiaohong finally signaled his subordinates to stop, then spat a mouthful of phlegm on Zhao Dezhu’s face, who was lying on the ground, barely breathing, and said disdainfully, “What’s the use of struggling? Learn from your cowardly master, be a shrinking turtle hiding in the Cave Mansion without going out, and wait for the end of the world to come, wouldn’t that be better?”

Zhao Dezhu’s eyes were bloodshot, but he couldn’t utter a harsh word.

“Let’s go, there’s no need to torture this group of pathetic dogs.”

Wang Xiaohong stretched, and led his men away.

Zhao Dezhu hurriedly distributed the Healing Pills from his Storage Ring to his junior martial brothers.

Then, the group supported each other and went towards the Xianjian Sect.

The Mysterious Moon hung high, the moonlight was serene.

The pale moonlight shone on the group, as if coated with a layer of desolation.

Huang Xuanxu clenched his fists and choked, “Senior Martial Brother, do we still have a way to live…?”

At this moment, he could no longer suppress the grief in his heart, the pain of losing his father that he had suppressed for several years, and his current helplessness, all erupted in his heart.

His eyes gradually turned red.

Zhao Dezhu gritted his teeth: “They won’t let any of us go… But I believe there’s always a way out! Let’s hold on, there will be a chance…”

“But…” Huang Xuanxu wanted to say something more, when he suddenly saw two familiar figures flying past in the distance.

Zhen Yongfu and Lu Qing’an flew past Zhao Dezhu and the others.

As they passed by, they paused briefly, glanced at them, and then continued flying in one direction.

“Tomorrow at You time, Wu Ge, will you meet Supreme Elder Du Feng at the Wutian Lake in the Sect?” Zhen Yongfu asked loudly.

Lu Qing’an nodded: “It depends on whether I can be favored by Elder Du Feng and taken as a direct disciple!”

“Don’t worry! You’ll definitely succeed!” Zhen Yongfu smiled.

Zhao Dezhu and others were stunned.

“Tomorrow at You time? Wutian Lake, Du Feng?!” Zhao Dezhu widened his eyes, and then a ray of hope flashed in his eyes.

But soon, he held his breath, watching Zhen Yongfu and the others leave.

Is this a coincidence, or…?

At this time, Lu Qing’an’s voice came from afar, “Can you speak a little quieter? Don’t let anyone hear you, Supreme Elder Du Feng seems unwilling to see people lately.”

“Okay, I’ll speak quieter.” Zhen Yongfu said softly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Dezhu looked deeply at Lu Qing’an and Zhen Yongfu, and a wave of warmth surged in his heart.

Zhen Yongfu was their senior uncle’s disciple, he was helping them…

A tear flashed in Zhao Dezhu’s eyes, his gaze became firm again, and then he continued to support his injured junior martial brothers and flew towards the Xianjian Sect.

As long as they continue to persevere, they will definitely be able to overcome this ordeal…

Watching Zhao Dezhu and others go away, Zhen Yongfu looked at Lu Qing’an beside him and asked, “An Ge, won’t this affect your plan?”

Lu Qing’an said calmly, “It won’t affect it much, even if Du Feng thinks this matter is related to me, he will still take me as his disciple because of my performance tonight.”

“Haha, An Ge, are you trying to secretly help them, so you showed such amazing strength?” Zhen Yongfu asked with a smile.

“Do you think I look like that?”

“In my eyes, you are a very righteous person, as long as it doesn’t affect yourself, you might help.” Zhen Yongfu’s eyes were full of admiration.

“Don’t flatter me.”

“Hey, I don’t care, just accept my admiration.”
