Chapter 51 Fate
Under the night.
A figure runs quickly.
He arrived at a student dormitory and knocked urgently on the door, "Brother Shan, something bad has happened! Li Wansong has been beaten up!"
The clattering sound of playing cards inside the dormitory stopped, and the door opened.
A strong smell of alcohol hit me.
A mature-looking young man glanced sideways at the messenger, "What happened? This kid Li Wansong can't even beat a student who's skilled in skin refining?"
"Brother Shan, the opponent is a tough nut to crack. When Brother Song and the others arrived..." The messenger recounted what had just happened.
"Luckily, I was the last one. When I saw something was wrong, I immediately went back to report. By now, Brother Song and the others should have been defeated by that guy."
"presumptuous!"
Lu Xishan slammed the mahjong tiles in his hand onto the table and stood up abruptly.
"I want to see what kind of monsters these are, daring to touch even my Lu Xishan's men. You guys go first, I'll be right back."
Lu Xishan walked towards the door.
"No way, Brother Shan! We haven't seen Brother Shan teach someone a lesson in ages. Let's go and watch the show."
"That's right, Brother Shan. We've been in Tiger's Mouth City for so long and haven't had any fun. I didn't expect that we'd have so much fun right after starting school. Brother Shan, you can't leave us behind!"
"fart!"
Lu Xishan laughed and cursed, "You can watch if you want, but I'm not going to honor the money I lost earlier."
Everyone laughed and said they wouldn't dare, and then surrounded Lu Xishan as they walked outside.
Tiger's Mouth City is about ten days away from Jinshan Prefecture. Lu Xishan and his gang of brothers are local tyrants.
The reason he was so arrogant and domineering was because he, Lu Xishan, had a powerful father.
Old Lu was originally the leader of White Tiger Mountain near Tiger's Mouth City. The government sent people to suppress the bandits many times, but Old Lu was strong, resourceful, and good at running away.
When there are many people around, he runs away.
When there are few people around, he'll ambush them with a club.
After several attempts, Tiger's Mouth City had no choice but to surrender.
Old Lu was a sensible man; he brought his men to Hukou City and became the commander of a battalion, where he lived a carefree and comfortable life.
Old Lu only had one son, Lu Xishan, whom he doted on.
Fortunately, Lu Xishan's talent and interpersonal skills were no less than those of Lao Lu, and he had gathered many brothers around him.
Li Wansong, who was just now, was a member of their small group. Relying on his flesh-refining level cultivation, he offered to help Lu Xishan and a few brothers get a small private courtyard, so that it would be convenient for them to play cards and drink in the future.
He didn't dare to disturb the other seeded players.
After searching for a long time, I finally found Lu Lin's place.
The group walked menacingly to the vicinity of Lu Lin's courtyard.
Lu Lin waited there for a long time.
Seeing Lu Xishan approach, he recognized him as one of the seeded players and immediately nodded, "Why are you so late? Hurry up."
"Oh?"
Lu Xishan was stunned. He had anticipated his opponent's strength on the way, but he didn't expect Lu Lin to pull this stunt.
interesting.
"Brother, what's your name?" Looking at Li Wansong and the others lying on the ground, although they were all groaning in pain, none of them had broken bones or tendons. At most, they had cuts around their eyes or bleeding from their noses, and there were no serious injuries.
It seems Lu Lin held back.
"Lu Lin, that's enough. Stop with the whole 'paying respects' thing. I have no relatives or connections, no influence. If you want to fight, do it now. I need to go back and rest."
"Okay, then I'll play with you today."
Lu Xishan continued the conversation, then took out a sharp knife and walked towards Lu Lin.
"Brother, I'm carrying a weapon. You're not going to be fighting empty-handed, are you?"
"It's all the same, hurry up."
Lu Lin replied.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Lu Xishan was also angered.
I was already unhappy because I lost money playing cards that night, but Lu Lin was even more clueless.
Sure enough, this guy won't kneel on the ground and respectfully call me "brother" unless you beat him hard enough.
"Alright, catch the knife!"
Lu Xishan slashed down with his sword, and Lu Lin raised his hand to block it.
Facing the blade, grab the sharp knife.
The skin is not broken.
"Um?!"
Lu Xishan immediately realized that Lu Lin had practiced external martial arts.
In terms of strength, he's definitely no match for him.
Then...
"Look at the feet!"
Lu Xishan let out a low shout, and with a gust of wind, his right foot kicked straight at Lu Lin's lower body.
Lu Lin retaliated in kind.
boom.
The two men's legs collided in mid-air.
Lu Xishan looked bitter.
But he also took the opportunity to retrieve the dagger.
Using the force of Lu Lin's kick, Lu Xishan lunged forward, and in the darkness, a blade flashed.
"This trick didn't work."
Lu Lin murmured something, took a half step back, and reached out to grab Lu Xishan's wrist.
Lu Xishan thought Lu Lin would use the same trick again, so he deliberately used the power of his qi and blood.
As a result, Lu Lin grabbed his wrist and pulled him to stand in front of Lu Lin.
Do not get close.
Lu Xishan planted one foot on the ground and mustered all his strength to rotate his upper body, trying to use the momentum to pull his wrist back.
But in Lu Lin's eyes, his strength was far too childish.
Push it outwards, pull it inwards.
Lu Xishan not only lost his balance, but he also almost broke his ankle.
"Holy crap!"
Lu Xishan cursed under his breath, and the next second, Lu Lin knocked him to the ground.
"Since you're handsome, I won't punch you in the face."
As Lu Lin spoke, he punched Lu Xishan in the stomach.
Lu Xishan immediately bowed, raising his head and feet simultaneously.
"vomit--"
That punch almost made Lu Xishan vomit up his leftover dinner.
Enduring the pain, he turned around and knelt on the ground.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault."
"It's alright, just don't bother me again. Oh, by the way..."
Lu Lin glanced at the henchmen who had come with Lu Xishan, "Why don't you let them come up and try too?"
"No need, no need, Brother Lu Lin. Today, all the mistakes were my fault. I will never bother you again."
"That's good. I like people who keep their word."
"must!"
Although Lu Xishan's father was a bandit, he was renowned for his integrity, especially when dealing with powerful martial artists.
Lu Xishan didn't hold a grudge against Lu Lin. After recovering, he stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Lin, and left with Li Wansong and the others.
"Now no one should be coming, right?"
"Clap clap clap".
Just then, applause came from the darkness.
A figure emerged from the darkness.
"Vajras?"
"Lu Lin, do you believe in fate?"
When Fan Li appeared, he neither pursued the matter of what had happened last time, nor did he ask about Chen Hongzhi and Chen Hongming. Instead, he spoke of fate.
Lu Lin scoffed, "I believe in fate, but I don't believe in our connection."
"As the Buddha said, 'Fate is wondrous beyond words. All things in the world come into existence because of fate, and disperse because of fate. You were originally a refugee who lived hand to mouth, but you were favored by Layman Chen and were able to live and cultivate in Chen's mansion. This is a kind of fate.'"
"It is fate that we met in the Chen residence. Although you were unwilling to give me the student token, I eventually obtained it, and you did not lose it. We are now reunited at the Ink Bamboo Academy. This is still fate."
