Chapter 782: Brawl II

Lu Sheng glanced at He Chu Ruan.

"Wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon. I'll go smooth things over."

"Go on, go on." He Chu Ruan could not be bothered to run around. She had seen plenty of such matters before. At most, they would go over, exchange a few polite words, and parade their positions, manpower, backgrounds, and backing.

Whoever had stronger connections, more men, and harder networks could force the other side to bow their heads and submit.

For the righteous and wicked paths of this jianghu, this martial world, to coexist in peace for so long, they relied precisely on these unwritten rules beneath the surface.

Otherwise, everyone was wandering the jianghu. If every encounter outside ended in wild hacking and desperate fights, no sect's disciples or followers could endure that kind of attrition.

They held each other in check, restrained themselves somewhat, and put on a show for the common folk. That was enough to get by.

After familiarizing himself with these rules of conduct over the past while, Lu Sheng headed over with the same mindset, intending to lay out the facts and reason things through with status and manpower.

Whether wicked or righteous, no one felt good when conflict arose. Violence was not the only way to resolve things. Everyone was making their way in the jianghu. As long as they gave each other face and left each other a step to retreat upon, then you were well, I was well, everyone was well—that was what truly mattered.

He had neither the time nor the mood to concern himself with the Leaf Mountain Sword Sect's rotten affairs. If he had not been the highest-ranking person nearby, Lu Sheng would not even have wanted to go watch the commotion.
