"Master, isn't this a bit off?"
Master Yunlong was shocked when he realized what was happening.
"Why was it Junior Uncle Lu Xuan who was expelled from the sect?"
Zhou Meng looked surprised: "Are you really willing to abandon your apprentice?"
Master Yunlong was even more astonished: "But Junior Uncle is your disciple!"
Zhou Meng looked completely at ease.
"I'm willing to sacrifice my apprentice!"
Master Yunlong: "Huh?"
Master Yunlong and Wang Ye both fell into doubt about life.
"Lu Xuan! Pack your things today, and get back down the mountain tomorrow!"
“Alright! Master, once I’m rich after I go down the mountain, I’ll definitely take you to enjoy the good life.”
"I'm afraid I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy it."
"Master, you must have confidence in your lifespan."
With a serious expression, Lu Xuan helped Zhou Meng up and walked towards the main hall.
"Judging from your innate Qi, you're destined for a long life!"
"Sigh! I don't have confidence that you can make money."
The elderly man and the young boy helped each other walk toward the main hall.
Behind them, Daoist Yunlong and Wang Ye exchanged surprised glances.
This...isn't this right?
Chapter Seven: How to Explain Invincibility
Nighttime, Wudang Mountain, back mountain cave.
Three elderly men, each with a different posture, sat cross-legged.
He was emaciated in appearance but had a strong breath, though his spirit was extremely weak.
A short figure stood before the three, seemingly lost in thought.
A figure approached from afar, entered the cave, and bowed gently.
Zhou Meng snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Lu Xuan.
"I knew you'd be coming tonight, don't you have any questions for me?"
Zhou Meng stood with his hands behind his back, looking inscrutable.
You always look so unappealing, but today my plan is so flawless, I don't believe you'll still be so calm.
Seeing Lu Xuan's calm expression during the day, Zhou Meng thought his plan had been seen through!
It seems there was no such thing. Come on! Good disciple, hurry up and question your master!
Hurry up and ask me why I expelled you from the sect.
Ask me quickly why I had Wang Ye reprimand you.
Ask me where Wang Ye learned his skills.
Ideally, they would look at me with a face full of grief, fear, unease, disappointment, and despair, and then accuse me.
Come on! I'm ready, go ahead and question me!
Lu Xuan scratched his head.
"Oh, no!"
Zhou Meng: “(⊙_☉)”
"Really not?"
Before Zhou Meng could even smile, he almost coughed up the words he had been holding in.
Still unwilling to give up, he asked, "You really don't have any questions at all?"
"For example, why did I expel you from the sect? Why did I let Wang Ye challenge you? Don't you have any thoughts on that?"
Zhou Meng patiently urged, "Quickly! Tell me!"
"Really not..."
Lu Xuan had a knowing look on his face.
"It's just that you're always bored and think my character isn't up to par, so you want me to go down the mountain and get some experience!"
"And expelled from the sect..."
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes: "Who would believe such a cliché and melodramatic excuse?"
Zhou Meng: "..."
I've decided, I'm going to block that guy surnamed Zhang tonight.
What a terrible idea it was, it was completely useless.
"As for why it was Wang Ye..."
Lu Xuan continued to see through him: "You've said many times that you want me to succeed you as sect leader in the future, but I'm not willing. Among the younger generation, only Wang Ye is left."
"Today is just a way to give me a warning and, incidentally, to train Wang Ye!"
Lu Xuan looked at Zhou Meng, whose face was growing increasingly dark.
"Master! I'm not trying to be mean, but you really shouldn't use such an old trick anymore."
Zhou Meng: "..."
It's decided! I'll block that guy surnamed Zhang in a bit.
Zhou Meng looked mournful, while Lu Xuan continued to ponder.
"Given your temperament, you would never willingly give Feng Hou Qi Men to Wang Ye. Wang Ye learned Feng Hou Qi Men from elsewhere, right?"
Zhou Meng exclaimed in surprise: "You could have guessed that?"
Lu Xuan replied without hesitation: "After all, Master, you don't have the surname Zhang."
Zhou Meng nodded silently.
Indeed, my moral standards are much higher than those of that shameless, black-hearted, and deceitful guy.
Then all that was heard was Lu Xuan speaking softly.
"Was it Zhou Sheng who secretly passed on the Feng Hou Qi Men technique to Wang Ye?"
Zhou Meng suddenly raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"You know... Zhou Sheng?"
"Of course I know you're my own brother."
“I not only know him, I’ve also met him.”
Lu Xuan spoke casually.
"Otherwise, why hasn't he dared to enter Wudang Mountain in recent years?"
Zhou Meng was suddenly startled.
No one knew better than him how strong and virtuous his elder brother was, enough to make Zhou Sheng afraid to enter Wudang Mountain. Just how high was his good disciple's cultivation?
A breath caught in my throat, and after a long while, I relaxed.
Zhou Meng's waist seemed to loosen up a bit out of nowhere, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.
Wudang... has a worthy successor!
Wudang has carried its burdens for decades, and today it can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhou Meng was so overwhelmed that he could only sigh.
"Xuan'er, your cultivation progress is faster than I expected!"
His gaze unconsciously fell on the three senior brothers in front of him and the Feng Hou Tu in front of them.
Zhou Meng sighed and asked, "Did you stop Zhou Sheng from entering Wudang because of this?"
"That's right..."
Lu Xuan looked indignant: "It really is for the ticket money."
"Who let him enter the mountains without buying a ticket?"
"You little rascal, you never speak properly."
Zhou Meng sighed as he thought of his cold-hearted older brother.
He waved his hand and said, "You can go down the mountain tomorrow!"
"Now that you have received the inheritance of Lü Zu, you might as well go to Yongle Palace."
"Besides, Zhang Zhiwei's birthday is coming up soon, so you can go and visit him on behalf of Wudang."
Lu Xuan turned to look at the three elders of Wudang and bowed slightly.
Before I go down the mountain, I want to help a few of my senior brothers.
Zhou Meng followed Lu Xuan's gaze and looked at the three elders of Wudang.
After a long pause, he sighed, "It's no use."
“The three senior brothers are not sick or injured; they are simply stubbornly clinging to their delusions.”
"With their level of cultivation and mental state, what obstacles or hurdles could possibly trap them?"
"It's just that they can't let go; they've become obsessed..."
Zhou Meng lamented, "The stronger the obsession, the more you want to hold on, the more you can't let go and escape."
