CHAPTER 950: CHAPTER 948: A TOKEN OF AFFECTION

Then Yue Hongwei told the three elders in detail about a series of things concerning Lu Xiaobu.

The more he spoke, the more satisfied the three people were, and the more the two Taoists drank!

They were extremely happy!

No one expected that in today’s world there would still be someone who stands up for the country and the people!

An essay titled "Youthful Heavenly Dynasty" made the two burst into laughter!

Another essay "On Horses" made them raise their glasses and drink heartily!

Defeating Korea, they sang to their wine!

When they talked again about the details of burning the Jingguo Shrine, the two nearly wept with tears of age.

It’s nothing else; back then, their elders never returned!

Who says those who cultivate do not love their country?!

Who says those who cultivate will completely detach from the mortal world?!

The great hero, lives for the country and the people!

Until finally, the monk couldn’t help but persuade: "Two Taoists, drink a little less! There’s still serious business to tend to later!"

However, in his heart, he was quite satisfied with the Lu Xiaobu that Yue Hongwei spoke of.

Not only for the matters that moved the two Taoists, but also for the things Lu Xiaobu did for the Buddhist Law!

Especially when it came to the witty exchanges in the temple, when those brilliant verbal battles were mentioned, he couldn’t help but fetch paper and pen to write it down and ponder it slowly!

And when Lu Xiaobu struck against that so-called All-Powerful Buddha, the senior monk straight-out shouted well done!

"You three take your time chatting, I’ll go record a show." Having said enough, Yue Hongwei got up to leave.

"Alright, be sure to come back in the evening, the three of us old fellows want to see your Kung Fu." The relatively young Taoist laughed.

"Thank you, elder!" Yue Hongwei was overjoyed, immediately expressing his gratitude.

This meant guidance was headed his way!

Yue Hongwei left, cleanly closing the door behind him.

And the three began to converse.

The monk frowned and said, "Do you think, given that this Lu Xiaobu is so loyal and righteous, and cares for the country and the people, this trial seems tough."

The young Taoist had a fiery temper: "There’s nothing tough about it! I support Lu Xiaobu! If such young people aren’t encouraged but are suppressed instead, then what’s the point?!"

The older Taoist smiled: "Well, when we arrive, let’s inquire carefully, can’t listen to just one side of the story."

His words were fair, but it was evident that if what Yue Hongwei said was true!

Then, he would also support Lu Xiaobu!

The monk looked at the two Taoists and smiled wryly: "Amitabha!"

Before even reaching the scene, these two have already turned sides!

But never mind, Lu Xiaobu is indeed a child who should be supported, we’ll see when the time comes!

...

Meanwhile.

At the Xue Family.

Lu Zhongping whispered to Lu Hao, who was lying in bed: "Son, don’t worry, this time I specially invited Master Zhi Xing, as well as Wu Weizi and Ling Xiaozi! With those three here, they can directly decide Lu Xiaobu’s life and death this time!"

Jianghu Order has its rules; different levels dictate different intensities of judgment!

After all, if you could do it secretly, you just did it, but now wanting to act with moral righteousness, you must adhere to the rules!

And facing Lu Xiaobu from the Second Level Rich List, Lu Zhongping couldn’t do it secretly!

So he could only make use of the rules!

The rule is: To decide whether a person should be killed, at least three Grandmasters must be present, and at least two must agree!

Oh, by the way, almost forgot to tell you, though you might’ve guessed already, the names of the three on the train were Zhi Xing, Wu Wei, and Ling Xiao!

Back to the main topic!

Time flew by.

The next day.

Master Zhi Xing, Taoist Wu Wei, and Taoist Ling Xiao arrived in Shimen.

This time, the Jianghu Order was set in Shimen.

However, they did not inform the Xue Family, but walked around the city themselves instead.

"Oh, this is nice. I’ll go buy some!" Ling Xiaozi looked at the snacks by the roadside, feeling tempted.

He valued living naturally and freely, so he would eat when he felt like it and drink when he felt like it.

Like a child, Ling Xiaozi ran ahead to stand in line.

"Wow, Taoist, you like this too?" A man in line smiled at Ling Xiaozi.

"Just to satisfy a craving." Ling Xiaozi replied casually.

"How about you go first?" The man stepped aside.

"No need, no need, take your time." Ling Xiaozi smiled.

Since coming to this city, a strange sense of comfort had always enveloped his heart.

This might be called an aura in mystical terms.

To be more realistic, it’s that every look is harmonious and kind, nothing cynical, nothing explosive and violent, but joyful and warm.

"Alright then." Seeing this, the man was not persistent. He then looked at Ling Xiaozi: "Taoist, can you tell fortunes? How about giving me a reading?"

"Aren’t you afraid I’m a fake Taoist, swindling your money?" Ling Xiaozi laughed, people here really are so simple?

"Oh, what is there to be afraid of? This is Shimen. With Young Master Bu here, who dares cause trouble?!" the man said proudly.

"Hahaha!" Ling Xiaozi suddenly laughed, bursting into laughter.

Interesting, interesting.

Though this statement was somewhat exaggerated, it also showed the level of trust the city had in Lu Xiaobu.

Indeed, what Yue Hongwei said was true.

Continuing to line up, buying things and paying.

This was very normal behavior, but Ling Xiaozi found that no one next to him was taking out money, they were all just pulling out their phones to scan.

This piqued his interest, so he asked the vendor, "Hello, are they paying?"

"Yes, Taoist, here in Shimen, anywhere you can use money, you can use Alipay." The vendor smiled.

As the headquarters of the Lu Group, Shimen is currently the city with the highest mobile payment coverage in the country!

"Oh, this was also brought about by Lu Xiaobu?" Ling Xiaozi asked curiously.

"Yes, that’s right. Taoist, is this your first time in Shimen?" The vendor smiled, taking out a bottle of beverage: "Here, Taoist, this is on me."

"No, no, no, I won’t take it without merit!" Ling Xiaozi quickly refused.

"Oh, just take it! Seeing you, I guess Young Master Bu invited you here! Young Master Bu must be doing something for us again! We can’t help much, but we can at least offer you a drink!" The vendor pressed it into Ling Xiaozi’s hand and continued with his work.

Looking at the drink in his hand, Ling Xiaozi suddenly felt uncomfortable within.

The first reaction of the people was that they were invited by Lu Xiaobu, but the truth was, they were here to judge Lu Xiaobu!

They might even decide Lu Xiaobu’s life and death!

His always natural and free-minded Tao heart suddenly felt unstable!

"Take it easy." At this moment, Wu Weizi came to his side, patting him on the shoulder: "We are just judges, no one said we have to follow their path."

"Phew!" Hearing Wu Weizi’s words, Ling Xiaozi let out a long breath, thanked the vendor, and quietly placed the money on the counter.

This favor, I accept it!
