Three Fruits Lake.
Surrounded by mountains, the small lake was rippling with colorful reflections of sunlight.
At this time, in front of a square courtyard by the lake, there was a circle of tables and chairs. A group of men and women with sabers and swords sat behind the tables and chairs, registering the many students who had come to register.
The queue was long, and it had already been repeated several times, filling up the large sandy area by the lake.
In the queue, there were middle-aged people with children, men and women in martial arts attire, and rich families with guards squeezing in. They also seemed to be here to register.
"Hey! Brother Lu, we meet again. "
At the very back of one of the lines, a well-dressed youth guarded by guards casually greeted a man in black not far in front of him.
The man in black was expressionless. He glanced at him, but didn't reply.
"Brother Lu, when did you get here? I'm very familiar with the area around Three Fruits Lake. Why didn't you come find me and let me entertain you? Brother Chen and the others came yesterday, but I didn't see you, Brother Lu. "The youth looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old. He wasn't a teenager, but he was at the age to start a family.
This person's surname was Wu, and his name was Quansheng. He didn't have a courtesy name yet. Here, a courtesy name was given by a teacher after one's studies or career was successful. Or after one's achievements, one could name it himself. Most people didn't have a courtesy name, so they were called by their names.
The Brother Lu he called was Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng hurried toward Three Fruits Lake. Since it wasn't far, and he didn't want to attract attention, he hurried on the ground. Along the way, he ran into Wu Quansheng who invited him.
Thinking that it was easier to hide with more people, Lu Sheng joined them and followed the crowd to Three Fruits Lake.
There were more than ten people in this group, and only a few of them practiced martial arts. The rest were ordinary people who only knew one or two self-defense moves. The swords and sabers they carried were also for self-defense. But this group of people all pretended to be old hands in the pugilistic world, which scared the rich kid Wu Quansheng off.
After one round, Wu Quansheng simply called everyone 'older brother'. He was also a righteous and generous person, so as soon as he heard that one of his older brothers was in trouble, he didn't say anything and immediately lent ten taels of silver to help.
With that, the group of pretentious, ordinary men were intimidated. Thus, along the way, they all had bad intentions of befriending Wu Quansheng and treated him like a money bag. He paid for everything.
Lu Sheng had seen this kind of thing many times, so he just looked on coldly.
She didn't know if this Wu Quansheng was stupid. He always had a carefree smile on his face. Even if he found out that he had been cheated, he would still do the same thing the next time. He didn't seem to care at all.
"Brother Lu, you're here to sign up for the Spring Sun Sect too?" Wu Quansheng asked quietly. "This is the third time I've registered. Unfortunately, I didn't make it. There are only two more times before I cross the line. I can't report it anymore … "
Lu Sheng ignored him.
The team moved forward, then stopped.
Wu Quansheng continued, "I don't think there's any hope this time. My father said that he wants me to go back and inherit the family business as soon as possible."
"Isn't that a good thing? You're not cut out for martial arts, "Lu Sheng replied casually.
"Huh!!? Brother Lu, you're not mute???! "Wu Quansheng was instantly shocked.
"…" Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed Wu Quansheng's cheek, twisting it hard.
"Ah!!"
A scream of pain.
The guards around them couldn't help but turn their heads away and laugh. How could they not know their young master's personality?
Lu Sheng let go of him and ignored him. He looked ahead.
"Brother Lu, my dear brother, you're too strong …" Wu Quansheng rubbed his cheek and cried. "Right, is the Spring Sun Flower Festival coming in a few days? Brother Chen and the others are coming. Brother Lu, you too … "
"Can't you tell?" Lu Sheng was speechless. "Those guys are eating and drinking from you. They're scamming you out of your money." He knew what kind of people Brother Chen and the others were. They were normal people who could be poisoned to death with just a breath.
There was a world of difference between their strength and what they boasted about.
"I won't!" Wu Quansheng waved his hand and laughed. "I trust Brother Chen and the others. So what if it's real or fake? My dad always said that life is full of ups and downs. Who doesn't have a low point? As long as Brother Chen and the others remember how good I am, this won't be a problem when they make it big in the future. "
He was quite open-minded. Lu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the kid.
He could tell that it wasn't that Wu Quansheng didn't know that many people were eating and drinking from him. It was that he liked to make friends. As the saying went, everyone is a brother in the world. This guy really liked this kind of life. As for the money he was scammed of, he didn't care.
Rich fools.
Lu Sheng set the tone and ignored him.
The line continued to move forward. Wu Quansheng was slightly behind Lu Sheng. Along the way, he saw people he knew greeting him from time to time. This brother, that brother, this sister, that sister … it was as if he knew everyone. He had a lot of connections.
Time passed slowly. Soon, half of the snake-like line had passed.
"Wu Quansheng?" A fierce and deep male voice came from the crowd. Soon, three strong men in gray robes with copper rods in their hands squeezed in.
"Last time, you ruined my plans. I didn't expect to meet you here. Hehehe." Behind the three, a pale and handsome young man walked in. However, there was a hint of evil in the corner of this young man's eyes.
"It's you?!" Wu Quansheng was stunned. He immediately recognized the young man and his face darkened. He said angrily, "You still have the guts to show yourself? Snatching a girl in the middle of the street, how domineering! "
"Nonsense! Those two women came up to me and I couldn't even push them away. Who can I blame? "The evil young man laughed coldly.
"Just you wait. Brother Chen from the county office is here today. Let's go see the magistrate and see what the magistrate will do!" Wu Quansheng suppressed his anger and said coldly.
"Magistrate?" The evil young man laughed coldly. "Brother Chen? Who is this Brother Chen you're talking about? "
Wu Quansheng was stunned. He looked left and right. Brother Chen, who was queuing on the right, was nowhere to be seen.
Not only that, many people around him were hiding far away, as if they were afraid of getting involved.
He felt a chill in his heart. When he looked back, even the guards behind him had ugly expressions and kept a distance from him.
"Young Master … this is … the Lin Family … the Lin Family's Third Young Master …" One of the guards lowered his head in shame and whispered.
The Lin Family's Third Young Master …
Wu Quansheng's eyes widened. He suddenly understood.
He looked around. The people who called him brothers and spent money with him to feast on fish and meat had all shrunk back into the crowd and couldn't be seen at this time.
Even those who saw him pretended not to know him. For a moment, he seemed to be the only one standing in the crowd.
"Beat him up. Break his legs and throw him out. It's annoying to just stand here." The evil young man waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes." One of the three people in front of him carried a copper rod and walked towards Wu Quansheng.
"Brother Chen …" Wu Quansheng's face turned pale. He was just a normal rich kid. He had never experienced such a scene. His legs turned to jelly. He quickly went to find Brother Chen, who boasted about his power.
But he couldn't see anyone after looking around.
"Sister Wang …" He went to find Sister Wang, who also boasted about her power. But she pretended not to see him. She ignored his pleading eyes.
Wu Quansheng's heart fell to the bottom of the valley. These people, who usually seemed so righteous, at this time, actually …
No one stood up. The crowd formed a circle and left an empty space. Most of them didn't even look in his direction.
"Hehe …" Wu Quansheng immediately understood that everyone was avoiding trouble. When he was rich, these people called him brothers. Now that he was in trouble, these people … He suddenly understood and understood a lot.
"Kid, next time you see Young Master, remember to kowtow. Who asked you to provoke someone you shouldn't have … "The strong man laughed as he picked up the copper rod and smashed it at Wu Quansheng's right leg.
"So noisy!!" Suddenly, a huge force came crashing down from the side, and a spinning figure crashed into the burly man's body with a bang.
Bang!!
The two of them immediately cracked. Their bones broke and they rolled on the ground like gourds. They flew out and crashed into the other two people behind them.
The four of them huddled together and pressed down on the Young Master with a bang. The few of them screamed miserably and rolled on the ground.
The surroundings became silent. The people around them didn't even have time to react. They saw the situation take a turn for the worse. Young Master Lin was actually smashed to the ground. He was pressed down by a few men who weighed a few hundred kilograms. His bones cracked.
Gulp.
Wu Quansheng looked at Lu Sheng with his mouth agape. He then looked at the people rolling on the ground.
He saw with his own eyes that someone grabbed the hair of the person next to him and threw him out. He crashed into the strong man and his three companions.
At this moment, the strong man at the top quickly got up and roared with his copper rod.
"Who!!? Come out!! How dare you attack the third young master of the Lin Family. You must be tired of living … "
"You're courting death!" Suddenly, a shadow flew out from the crowd and struck the muscular man's chest with a palm.
Bang!!
The strong man spat out a mouthful of blood and flew back more than ten meters. He crashed into the crowd and knocked down another group of people.
The shadow quickly stood up. It was a short, middle-aged man. He was yelling at the top of his lungs, "What Lin Family, Wang Family? Do you know what place this is?" "This is the Spring Sun Sect! How dare you act so arrogantly here. Even if the God of Heaven came, he'd be kicked out, let alone the Lin Family and the Wang Family! "
This middle-aged man was the external manager of the Spring Sun Sect, Feng Yuan. He had always been arrogant and domineering. Usually, he caused the wrath of the heavens and the people. He used all kinds of tricks to embezzle money and ask for bribes.
Usually, people would avoid him as soon as he appeared. But now that he appeared, Wu Quansheng was extremely grateful for Feng Yuan's timely help.
His bad impression of Feng Yuan from being stingy with bribes was getting better.
Feng Yuan's small eyes looked around. He immediately saw the luxurious clothing Young Master Lin was wearing. He immediately knew that he was here for money.
"Disrupting the registration process and harming the safety of the preparatory disciples. No, hehehe, I have to investigate this." He walked up and picked up the third young master of the Lin Family. He called for a few people to come and help him as he walked back to the Spring Sun Sect's registration point.
