Lu Xiaofeng and Ling Yi ultimately missed their chance.
By the time Lu Xiaofeng and the others arrived at the dilapidated temple, Ling Yi had already returned to the Prison Space with Jiang Yuyan.
They entered the house at the beginning of Wei hour and left at the end of Shen hour, a period of four or five hours.
After failing to see Ling Yi and Jiang Yuyan, Lu Xiaofeng and his companions assumed that Ling Yi and the others did not want to see them, so they had no choice but to leave and return to Fuzhou City.
"Young master, what should we do next?" Jiang Yuyan asked excitedly.
Having just gained immense power, she couldn't wait to Capture prisoners.
This feeling of power is so captivating, and she wants to gain even greater power; she wants to become the strongest step by step.
"Once we get back to Fuzhou City, let's split up. If we encounter any danger, we can simply return to the Prison Space," Ling Yi said, glancing at her.
Jiang Yuyan was secretly delighted. What she feared most right now was that Ling Yi would impose many restrictions on her or make some excessive demands.
If they could leave Ling Yi, they would obviously feel less constrained.
Compared to yesterday, Fuzhou City is even more bustling now.
The streets were filled with people from the martial Jianghu, but no one dared to openly cause trouble.
Because there were more Brocade Guard patrolling the streets.
Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be arrested or executed on the spot.
Once you're in the Brocade Guard's prison, you're guaranteed to die, or at least suffer a severe physical ordeal before you get out.
After entering the city, Ling Yi and Jiang Yuyan parted ways. As for where Jiang Yuyan went, Ling Yi neither asked nor cared.
He believed that Jiang Yuyan would be able to do a good job as a prison guard, and might even be better than he imagined.
As for where Jiang Yuyan will go, given Jiang Yuyan personality, it's likely that the Hundred Flowers House in Fuzhou City will be gone by tonight.
As for Ling Yi, he returned to the Yuelai Inn.
Ling Yi didn't go anywhere. He found a window seat on the second floor of the Yuelai Inn, ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes.
While listening to the chatter and nonsense of the people in the inn, he glanced at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.
To be precise, it's the data above each person's head.
Ling Yi discovered something very interesting.
People in the Jianghu have Good and Evil Value. Most of Jianghu have more Evil Value than Good Value, and the difference is huge.
In other words, most of these people in the world save few people and harm many.
But thinking about it, it's not surprising. What are these people in the Jianghu striving for, after years or even decades of arduous training?
Punishing evil and promoting good?
Don't be ridiculous. Only the Protagonist in movies and TV series punish evil and promote good.
Having acquired power beyond that of ordinary people, one naturally expects to obtain corresponding rights and benefits.
Even if I become stronger, will I still have to live the same impoverished life as before?
To obtain the corresponding rights and benefits, one must fight and seize!
Anyone with a modicum of sense wouldn't try to compete with the strong; they can only compete with the weak.
The Jianghu is ultimately a Jianghu of fighting and killing. Only when you have accumulated a certain amount of strength and status do you need to talk about interpersonal relationships and social niceties.
Ling Yi sat from the beginning of the You hour (5-7 PM) until the end of the Xu hour (7-9 PM), which was around 9 PM.
In the process, I did discover quite a few interesting acquaintances.
[ Yue Buqun: Good Value 410/ Evil Value 322, Good and Evil Value 88, Cultivation: Innate Fourth Layer!]
This is the only person Ling Yi has discovered so far whose Good and Evil Value positive.
At this moment, Yue Buqun was in the inn, sitting not far from Ling Yi.
However, this guy was wearing a straw hat with a black veil covering it, so his face was completely hidden behind the veil and his features could not be seen.
Although Yue Buqun's attire was unique, it was not out of place.
Inside the inn, many people were dressed similarly.
Ling Yi guessed that these scarves and hats were most likely purchased from the same shop or vendor by these people.
Just then, Ling Yi paused suddenly, then couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Yuyan is indeed a ruthless person; in just a short Kung Fu Hustle, twenty-six more Prison have been added to the Prison Space.
There were both men and women, but their cultivation levels were generally average; they were mostly Third Rate- or Second-Rate Martial Practitioner, or simply ordinary people.
Ling Yi didn't care about this; he believed that Jiang Yuyan would definitely bring him a big surprise.
This is just the beginning.
"Congratulations!" At this moment, a figure sat down opposite Ling Yi Ling Yi, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said with a grin.
Ling Yi glanced at the man's mustache, rolled his eyes, and said, "Congratulations on what?"
"Seeing you smiling so happily, you must have encountered something good. And if something good has happened, of course I should congratulate you!"
"Then you're mistaken in congratulating me. My laughter is merely schadenfreude, because someone's about to suffer!"
You're not talking about me, are you?
"Ha, I've seen people receive rewards and punishments these days, but this is the first time I've seen someone suffer misfortune!"
"Then it's not me? That's good!" The other person said, shrugging casually.
"I am Lu Xiaofeng, and you two are my friends, Hua Manlou and Sikong Zhaixing!" Lu Xiaofeng's purpose in making up this was simply to strike up a conversation with Ling Yi.
As for what they were arguing about, that's not important.
Hua Manlou looked at Ling Yi with curiosity, while Sikong Zhaixing appeared very cautious, her whole body tense, as if she would run away at the first sign of trouble.
" Ling Yi!" Ling Yi introduced himself as well.
Then he looked at the other two. "A heart as bright as the moon, a pavilion filled with the fragrance of flowers, Hua Manlou, the King of Thieves, capable of stealing stars and plucking the moon, Sikong Zhaixing!"
Hua Manlou clasped his hands in a fist salute. "Young Master Ling is too kind!"
Sikong Zhaixing remained silent, but Ling Yi's evaluation pleased him greatly, and he relaxed considerably.
"That's no flattery. This Jianghu is too dirty, full of people who seek fame and fortune. There are very few who I can truly admire, and you, Hua Manlou, are one of them."
What Ling Yi said is true.
Hua Manlou is the only one among the many characters described by Gu Dazong who can be evaluated with truth, goodness, and beauty; he is a person with a near-perfect personality.
He was righteous and always had a longing for life. Even though he was in darkness, he was able to bring light and Warmth to others.
She is meticulous, incredibly Wisdom, and most importantly, extremely wealthy.
It is a very happy thing to be able to become friends with Hua Manlou.
Being by his side always feels like a gentle breeze.
"Brother Hua truly deserves such praise," Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
He glanced around, chuckled, and then began to Digging for Ling Yi.
"Besides Brother Hua, who else is worthy of Brother Ling's admiration? Yue Buqun, the leader of the Mount Hua Sect, is known as the Gentleman Sword, a humble gentleman, upright and righteous. Is he worthy of Brother Ling's admiration?"
Ling Yi knew that Lu Xiaofeng was setting Digging for him, but he didn't care.
" Yue Buqun, hailed as the Gentleman Sword, is in reality a hypocrite. He appears virtuous on the surface but is actually treacherous and cunning, resorting to any means to achieve his goals. He deserves no respect!"
Ling Yi said that on purpose.
Is Yue Buqun a great villain? In Ling Yi's opinion, no.
Everything he did was simply to strengthen Mount Hua, or rather, to preserve Mount Hua heritage.
Zuo Lengchan was putting too much pressure on him, so he could only try every possible way to resist.
With numerous schemes and a precarious existence, life on Mount Hua was far from easy.
Yue Buqun, sitting in the other corner, didn't react at all to Ling Yi's words, as if he hadn't heard them at all, and continued drinking by himself.
This Kung Fu Hustle in cultivating inner strength is truly remarkable.
"Young Master Ling, what you're saying might cause a lot of trouble!" Hua Manlou warned.
"It's alright. If Yue Buqun is dissatisfied, he can come to me. I can give him a Creation to save him from the crisis at Mount Hua!"
What is the danger facing Mount Hua? Anyone with even a basic understanding of the martial Jianghu during the Great Ming Dynasty knows.
Lu Xiaofeng glanced to his left again, stroked his beard, and said, "It is said that Murong Fu of the Southern Song Dynasty has already arrived in the Great Ming."
"This man was highly respected in the Southern Song Dynasty, on par with Qiao Feng, the leader of the Beggar Sect Southern Song. Brother Ling, do you admire him?"
"Ha!" Ling Yi Taunt mockingly.
"To be on par with Qiao Feng? He doesn't deserve it! He's a fraud, a charlatan, fooling himself and others, with shallow methods, yet he's arrogant and self-righteous, cold-hearted by nature, indulging in pipe dreams—it's utterly laughable!"
At this moment, three men and one woman were sitting in the window seat on the north side.
The man in the middle, dressed in a brocade blue robe, was quite handsome, but his sunken eyes gave him a rather gloomy appearance.
Beside him were two middle-aged men with Long Beard, one with a Long Beard, and the other with a round face and a full beard.
Beside her was a woman in white, with a pure and beautiful appearance that was unforgettable at first sight.
These people were none other than Murong Fu, Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, and Wang Yuyan, who had come from the Southern Song.
[ Murong Fu: Good Value 411/ Evil Value 1729, Good and Evil Value -1318, Cultivation: Innate Ninth Stage!]
[ Bao Butong: Good Value 45/ Evil Value 109, Good and Evil Value -64, Cultivation: Innate Third Layer!]
[ Feng Bo'e: Good Value 51/ Evil Value 117, Good and Evil Value -66, Cultivation: Innate Second Layer!]
[ Wang Yuyan: Good Value 0/ Evil Value 0, Good and Evil Value 0, Cultivation: None!]
Upon hearing Ling Yi's assessment, Murong Fu Fu's face turned extremely ugly. He gave Ling Yi a cold look, but didn't say anything more!
Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, and Wang Yuyan all looked furious.
Feng Bo'e, whose temper was already Feng Bo'e, was the first to stand up. He pointed at Ling Yi and shouted angrily, "You brat, you're talking nonsense! You're spouting rubbish!"
"My young master is a man of great talent and strategy, with exceptional wisdom and unparalleled Supreme. What are your intentions in slandering him like this?"
Ling Yi glanced at him indifferently. "If you're not convinced, then come and hit me!"
In the original novel, although Murong Fu was incompetent, his four retainers each had their own unique characteristics and were all quite interesting.
Bao Butong, the owner of the Jin Feng Manor, also known as Third Master Bao, is fond of arguing with people. His catchphrase is probably familiar to everyone, and his "No, no" has caused Murong Fu countless troubles.
Feng Bo'e, the master of the Black Frost Manor, is known as " A Gust of Wind in Jiangnan." He is a fighting enthusiast who will skip meals as long as there is a fight. He is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, but he has a bad temper.
Gongye Qian, the master of the Crimson Cloud Manor, claims to be the "second best" in palm techniques in Jiangnan. In his heart, the best is naturally Murong Fu.
This person is arrogant, conceited, ignorant, and likes to show off. He doesn't even respect Qiao Feng. He once exchanged a palm strike with Qiao Feng.
Qiao Feng held back at the time, so it appeared that the two fought to a draw. This person used this to boast and belittle Qiao Feng, saying that he was nothing special and not as good as his own young master.
Deng Baichuan, the master of the Qingyun Manor, is the head of the four major retainers under the Murong clan. He is considered Murong Fu's strategist and is relatively mature.
Deng Baichuan and Gongye Qian Ling Yi met before; one Innate Fifth Layer Realm, and the other at the Innate Fourth Layer.
Or rather, these two were the first people Ling Yi saw each other that night.
The Evil Value are all negative, around 100.
They only came to reserve an inn for Murong Fu and his group; no food or drinks were ever served.
He was sent out by Murong Fu to cause trouble.
After that, Murong Fu, Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, and Wang Yuyan appeared.
However, the exaggerated Sin Value above Murong Fu and the other two's heads at this moment inexplicably disgusted Ling Yi.
In Ling Yi's view, one point of Evil Value is equivalent to one human life.
In other words, more than two thousand people died directly or indirectly at the hands of these individuals.
