Prodigal System in the Flourishing City
Chapter 949 - 947: Seems Like a Joke
CHAPTER 949: CHAPTER 947: SEEMS LIKE A JOKE
The Xue Family’s Jianghu Order was sent out, and for a moment, the long-silent Jianghu began to stir.
In cars, on trains, on planes, people wearing monk robes and Daoist robes started appearing now and then!
In the eyes of the ordinary public, these people weren’t anything special.
At most, they’d think it was for some kind of religious assembly.
However, in the eyes of those with a discerning eye, they were almost scared stiff.
Yue Hongwei, a second-tier martial arts star, though not as famous as an international superstar, still has a certain degree of fame.
He was invited to participate in a reality TV show, which required an overnight train ride!
Of course, it was in a sleeper car.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
He knocked on the door, and then walked in.
The camera followed closely behind.
They wanted to capture the reactions of the passengers sitting inside.
Their reactions were also one of the selling points of the show.
However.
"Oh my!"
The cameraman saw the people inside and immediately swore!
What the heck?!
A small room for four, but there’s a monk and two Taoists?!
In comparison, the supposed highlight star, Yue Hongwei, turned out to be the most ordinary one!
The crew almost cried, what kind of luck is this?!
Should we buy a lottery ticket today?!
The crew quickly began to discuss.
In the end, after some discussion, this kind of combination seemed rather fun!
Why not give it a try then!
If it doesn’t work, we’ll come up with another plan!
"Don’t point that thing at me." A Taoist looked at the camera lens and frowned.
"We are filming a reality show, we just want to..." The production team tried to explain.
"I said, don’t point that thing at me!" the Taoist frowned even more.
"Alright then!" The production team was helpless, as they had no right to infringe on others’ right to privacy.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a young and hotheaded cameraman mumbled, "What an act! Reluctant to be on TV! Probably just a bunch of fake Taoists and monks out to scam money!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the three people in the room all darkened!
The Taoist who had spoken just now flicked his hand slightly, and a peanut on the table shot out.
"Pop!"
The peanut hit the young man’s mouth precisely, causing him to cough.
"Trouble comes from the mouth, illness enters through the mouth. Young man, you should pay more attention," the Taoist said calmly.
The young man was about to explode and start yelling.
However, Yue Hongwei’s eyes were filled with shock: "You all go out! Out!"
Upon hearing Yue Hongwei’s words, the crew looked at each other and then retreated.
The door closed.
Yue Hongwei stood up straight and cupped his hands: "Junior greets the three Seniors!"
"Oh? You’re also a martial artist?" Upon hearing this, the Taoist who had thrown the peanut looked at Yue Hongwei and sized him up. "Indeed, you are a martial artist, but it seems you’ve neglected it for a long while!"
Yue Hongwei gave an awkward smile: "Indeed, it’s been neglected for quite a while."
He had studied martial arts since childhood, but after entering the path of a star, his martial arts had indeed lapsed quite a bit.
After all, so-called martial arts stars mostly used flashy moves rather than real Kung Fu.
Thus, after some to-ing and fro-ing, both sides simply became acquaintances and started chatting with one another.
"May I ask where the three Seniors are headed?" Yue Hongwei asked, "Could something major be happening in the Jianghu?"
"The Xue Family has issued a Jianghu Order," the Taoist nodded and said casually.
"Jianghu Order?!" Yue Hongwei’s pupils immediately shrank.
He had only heard of the Jianghu Order but had never seen one, and he didn’t expect to encounter it today.
What could be happening in Jianghu so significant that they’d use a Jianghu Order?!
"Oh, right, coincidentally, the target of this Jianghu Order is someone named Lu Xiaobu. Do you know him? Can you tell us about him?" the Taoist continued to ask.
"So it’s Young Master Bu!" Yue Hongwei gave a bitter smile.
Hearing this name, he suddenly thought that using the Jianghu Order seemed quite normal!
After all, the name Lu Xiaobu has always been synonymous with causing trouble!
"You do know him?" the Taoist furrowed his brow: "And you call him Young Master? Could you be his retainer?!"
The other Taoist and the monk also looked at Yue Hongwei, clearly interested in this question.
"No, no, no, don’t misunderstand, three of you!" Yue Hongwei waved his hands quickly: "I’m not his retainer, I haven’t even seen Young Master Bu in person. It’s just that outside, everyone calls Lu Xiaobu that!"
"Oh? If you’re not a retainer, why the honorific?" all three were puzzled.
"Because we don’t want to call him Sir!" Yue Hongwei gave a wry smile: "So we can only settle for less and call him Young Master! The things he does are just too shocking!"
"Like what?" The Taoist was intrigued.
"Like setting the Jingguo Shrine on fire!" The first thing that came to mind for Yue Hongwei was that!
"What?! That place was set on fire?!"
The three people heard this and all stood up simultaneously, incredulous.
"Yes, it was burned. I even have a video here. You can see for yourselves." Yue Hongwei understood the delay in the three’s information.
After all, smartphones have only been around for a few years, and these three are probably the type who have been reclusive and haven’t kept up with external changes.
After watching the video, even the always-aloof monk showed a hint of joy.
Let alone the two Taoists.
"Junior Brother, such a wondrous sight calls for celebration!" the slightly older Taoist said excitedly.
"Indeed, it should, but alas, there’s no wine!" the younger one, the one who had been speaking earlier, lamented.
"Please wait, I’ll go look for some wine." Yue Hongwei, being the junior, took the initiative and even attended to the monk: "Master, you..."
"No problem, though I can’t celebrate with the two of you, I shouldn’t be an obstacle either." The monk shook his head with a smile. "Young one, go ahead! Don’t keep the two Taoist Masters waiting."
"Alright!" Yue Hongwei quickly went out to find wine.
He was laughing inside, just the burning of the Jingguo Shrine was enough to make the three of them this happy.
He really wondered, if these three found out all of Young Master Bu’s deeds, would they turn back entirely!
The Jianghu Order targeting Young Master Bu, at first, seemed shocking, but upon further thought, it seemed like—isn’t this a joke?!
Is there anyone in the world more Jianghu than Lu Xiaobu?!
Probably not!
Thinking of this, he suddenly wanted to attend the Jianghu Order assembly and see how these people would judge Lu Xiaobu!
What kind of verdict could they possibly come to!
He felt that, judging by Lu Xiaobu’s usual behavior, something extraordinary is bound to happen!
