The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

After hearing Xia Huai's description of her eldest brother, Lu Jing understood why the girl was certain that if her eldest brother had arrived in Wujiang City, he would definitely stay at the city's largest inn.

Because such a proud person would never stay at the second largest inn in the city, even if the largest one was full, he would definitely trouble the guests inside to vacate a room for him.

Lu Jing felt that he could already guess what had happened there, but he didn't expect the reality to be even more exaggerated than his guess.

The two had just walked to the outside of the inn when they saw a monk flying out from inside.

That monk was clearly not a proper monk either. Although he was wearing a monk's robe and had shaved his head, he was holding a pig's trotter in his hand and a wine gourd hanging from his waist.

He spun around in mid-air and landed steadily on the ground. Then, he began to curse loudly, "Xijian Pavilion has a lot of prestige. Wei Zixian, you arrived the latest, so it's fine to snatch someone else's room, but now you're even chasing people away. What, isn't one bed enough for you to sleep on...?"

However, his scolding stopped abruptly halfway through, because he noticed that half of the pig's trotter in his hand was missing at some point. The cut on it was smooth and even, obviously sliced off by a sword.

However, he hadn't noticed at all when Wei Zixian had drawn his sword in the lobby earlier.

Cold sweat broke out on the wine-and-meat monk's forehead. Especially when the wind outside the inn blew on him, he sobered up a lot. He didn't dare to say anything more and turned to leave, but he ran into Lu Jing and Xia Huai who were walking over.

The wine-and-meat monk was full of anger at this moment. Although he wasn't a master, he was a well-known figure in the martial world with his third-rate peak realm. He had been driven out of the inn in disgrace, yet he didn't even have the courage to bark at the other party, looking like a stray dog.

Turning his head, he saw Lu Jing and Xia Huai blocking his path. Instantly, the evil fire in his belly rushed to his head. Because Xia Huai was a woman and had a baby face, he couldn't bring himself to hurt her, so he could only vent his anger on Lu Jing.

He shouted, "Get out of the way!" and then stretched out his fan-like hand to push Lu Jing aside.

In his rage, this push unconsciously used internal force. However, what he didn't expect was that not only did he fail to move Lu Jing, but his own internal force also disappeared like a stone sinking into the sea. The wine-and-meat monk didn't believe it and hoped that brute force could create a miracle, so he increased his power again.

It would have been better if he hadn't bet on this, but his recklessness caused even greater trouble.

The next moment, he flew back to the inn the same way he had flown out.

That wasn't the end of it. Then, he heard the voice inside that he both hated and feared speak again, saying calmly, "What courage! You are the first person I, Wei Zixian, have driven out who dares to come back. You are a man! In that case, I will make an exception and let you leave your head behind."

Wei Zixian's words frightened the wine-and-meat monk to the point of despair. With his courage, how could he dare to come back? Wasn't he already preparing to run away with his tail between his legs?

It was just that he didn't expect to run into another iron plate not far away and be bounced back!

The wine-and-meat monk opened his mouth to explain, but what rushed to his throat first was a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, with Wei Zixian's eyesight, he had already seen that he hadn't come in willingly, so the hand that was originally reaching for the sword hilt paused slightly and then returned to his side.

Xia Huai was next to Lu Jing, so she saw more clearly than anyone else that Lu Jing had stopped when he saw the wine-and-meat monk flying out, and didn't walk any further, obviously not wanting to have any conflict with the other party.

Did not expect the road to be so wide, but the wine-and-meat monk had to rush straight to Lu Jing, not only reaching out to push people, but also with internal force, the malice in it was self-evident.

It's just that if he had seen the battle between Lu Jing and the Seven Heroes, he would know how stupid his actions were at this time, not to mention that Lu Jing's internal strength is now even more advanced than it was then.

"Eldest brother, he is my friend." Xia Huai replied, and then whispered to Lu Jing, "Let's go, let's go in together."

Lu Jing also understood that he couldn't avoid this, but there was no conflict of interest between him and Wei Zixian, so he thought there would be no danger in going in, it was just a close-up view of how the eldest brother of Xijian Pavilion pretended to be forceful.

At that time, as long as he followed the process and nodded slightly in cooperation, and gave a thumbs up, he should be able to get the martial arts secret book he wanted smoothly.

So he followed Xia Huai into the inn.

After Lu Jing entered, he found that he didn't need to deliberately look for where Wei Zixian was, because the inn, which should have been crowded, now seemed a bit deserted in the lobby, with not many people at all.

And in the very center of the hall, there was a table and a chair.

A man in purple clothes was sitting on the chair in front of the table, holding a sword across his knees, pouring and drinking by himself.

When he saw Xia Huai, a look of surprise flashed across his cold face. At the same time, his tone softened, and he no longer had the aggressive look he had before, "Xia Shimei, why are you here?"

"I didn't sneak out. My master asked me to come down the mountain." Xia Huai didn't want her eldest brother to know that she had slipped away halfway, so she spoke vaguely.

"Shibo Xiao asked you to come?" Wei Zixian frowned, still a little suspicious, "I know that Shimei, your swordsmanship talent is outstanding, but your internal cultivation is still stuck at the third-rate level. Many people have come to Wujiang City this time."

As he spoke, he pointed to the wine-and-meat monk who was trying to crawl out to the side. The latter was already very afraid of being in the same room with Wei Zixian, and when he saw Lu Jing, he didn't want to stay here for a moment. Even if he had to use all four limbs, he had to leave this place.

"Although most of them are fools like this who want to take advantage of others but have no self-awareness, there are also some second-rate masters. If you face them, I'm afraid...it will be a bit difficult."

"So I made a friend." Xia Huai pulled Lu Jing over, and then introduced to Wei Zixian that she was chased by the Seven Heroes of Fengchen, and was rescued by Lu Jing.

Of course, she knew that Lu Jing didn't want outsiders to know that he only knew internal strength and didn't know martial arts, so she only briefly mentioned the details of the battle, saying that Lu Jing killed four heroes, and two others escaped.

Before Wei Zixian finished listening, a murderous intent appeared on his face, "How dare the Seven Heroes of Fengchen, such unranked trash, chase and kill a disciple of my Xijian Pavilion? Don't worry, the remaining two people won't live long either. Even if they escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely take their heads. If anyone in the martial world dares to help them hide, I will kill them all! I will spread this word in the martial world tomorrow."

After Wei Zixian finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Lu Jing, and also regained his previous cold appearance. However, probably because Lu Jing had saved Xia Huai after all, at least his first question didn't show any aggressiveness, but just asked according to Jianghu convention, "May I ask, who is Lu Shaoxia's master?"

"Oh, my master is Zhang Sanfeng, the Soaring Falcon."
