Huang Jiuzhao Wanted to Tag Along

That simple sentence left Huang Jiuzhao speechless.

Senior Lu Yuan actually values Brother Gu's master to such an extent.

The word "invincible" is used to describe this strength, which is probably...

Lu Changzhi glanced at Lu Yuan and shook his head helplessly:

"There's no need to flatter me like that."

After speaking, Lu Changzhi gestured to Huang Jiuzhao:

Just listen to it, don't believe it.

Huang Jiuzhao looked at Lu Changzhi, clearly disbelieving what Lu Changzhi was saying.

Putting everything else aside, judging from Senior Lu Yuan's demeanor when he spoke, how could he possibly be talking nonsense?

Lu Changzhi shook his head slightly and said nothing more.

To be fair, Lu Yuan is quite adept at praising people.

At this moment, Huang Jiuzhao seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Senior, if I were to fight him, what are my chances of winning?"

"Your Huang Clan's techniques and cultivation are quite good," Lu Yuan said, then, after thinking for a moment, raised one finger.

"Half?" Huang Jiuzhao was somewhat uncertain.

Lu Yuan glanced at Huang Jiuzhao, then pinched his thumb and forefinger together, almost touching them, leaving only a small gap between his fingernails, and said:

"A little bit."

Huang Jiuzhao remained silent.

Really, Huang Clan is still very strong.

It can't be that bad!

Then, Huang Jiuzhao looked at Lu Changzhi and asked:

"Does Your Excellency have any interest in Miss Shen Wenxi from the Academy?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:

"How?"

After thinking for a moment, Huang Jiuzhao briefly explained the relevant matters.

Simply put, the Xiang Clan intended to form a marriage alliance, but there was no harmony between the Huang Clan and the Xiang Clan.

So the Huang Clan decided to do the Academy a favor, which led to the previously proposed matter.

"If Your Excellency intends to intervene, then perhaps my Huang Clan will be unable to bestow this favor."

The Huang Jiuzhao a decree.

He was confident in his abilities, but that didn't mean he could ignore what Lu Yuan said.

The only condition for the Huang Clan to do a favor for the Academy is that it wins and comes out on top.

Is that so?

A smile appeared on Lu Changzhi's face.

Judging from the current situation, even without his intervention, the interplay of these forces will create opportunities for Xiao Ye.

"I don't have many plans for this matter." Lu Changzhi shook his head, then changed the subject:

"However, I have a disciple who might be able to offer some advice."

After speaking, Lu Changzhi looked at Lu Yuan and smiled:

"I am but a nobody with little influence, so I will have to ask for your support when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but turn his head to look.

A powerful master, whom even his own system praised as "the last awesome being in the world," a man who had returned to simplicity and had lived for countless years, actually said that he was insignificant and had little influence?

It's obvious that the master is trying to fool them.

"The Xiang Clan is all bad; we'll definitely stand up for you in this situation."

Lu Yuan spoke up.

Lu Changzhi noticed something and asked:

"Did the senior have a grudge against the Xiang Clan?"

Lu Yuan nodded, but did not explain, only saying:

"The Xiang Clan is best suited to gain fame by stepping on others and profiting from their reputation."

"OK."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"Since that's the case, let's settle on this for now."

Huang Jiuzhao, listening to these words, also showed a thoughtful expression.

In that case, the Huang Clan's plans will need to be revised.

However, compared to these, Huang Jiuzhao is currently more concerned about something else.

After considering it for a moment, Huang Jiuzhao transmitted his voice to Gu Chen:

"Brother Gu, may I discuss something with you?"

"What is it?" Gu Chen asked, looking at him.

Huang Jiuzhao:

"Can I move in with you?"

Gu Chen was taken aback, and subconsciously said:

There's only one bed in my room.

"It's alright," Huang Jiuzhao said.

"Just make room for me in the yard if you agree."

Gu Chen snapped out of his daze, as if realizing something, glanced at Lu Yuan, and asked:

"It's because of Senior Lu Yuan."

"Yes," Huang Jiuzhao said frankly.

"Living together, even if there's no chance of sparring or exchanging blows, you'll definitely gain something from observing others."

It would be best to ask for advice, but even just getting a glimpse of it would be excellent.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen asked his master about the matter.

After all, Lu Yuan was sent by his master, so this matter still depends on his master's decision.

Want to try it on?

Lu Changzhi pondered for a moment, then gestured to Lu Yuan:

"This Huang Clan Huang Jiuzhao is quite enthusiastic about the path cultivated by your senior, and can offer guidance in his spare time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan glanced at Huang Jiuzhao, seemingly realizing something, and nodded in agreement, saying:

"Since you've spoken, I'll naturally give you face. If you, a member of the Huang Clan family, have any questions, feel free to come to me."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jiuzhao was overjoyed and hurriedly said:

"Thank you so much, senior!"

Lu Yuan shook his head:

Don't thank me, thank him. I'm only doing this because of him.

Huang Jiuzhao understood, and quickly bowed to Lu Changzhi, saying:

"Thank you for your consideration. If the opportunity arises, Jiuzhao will certainly repay this kindness."

"What a coincidence." Lu Changzhi suddenly smiled.

"The opportunity is here now."

Huang Jiuzhao was taken aback upon hearing this.

Lu Yuan also smelled the familiar scent.

Before Lu Changzhi could say anything, Huang Jiuzhao seemed to have pushed something aside and tentatively asked:

"You mean the matter between the Academy and Shen Wenxi?"

"Smart." Lu Changzhi nodded.

Huang Jiuzhao thought for a moment and said:

"This matter concerns the Huang Clan, and given my current status, I cannot make a decision yet. However, please rest assured, I will do my best to ensure things go as you wish when I return."

Lu Changzhi nodded:

"That's enough."

At this moment, Lu Yuan looked at Lu Changzhi and transmitted his voice:

"In your spare time, would you also like to give me some pointers?"

Lu Changzhi glanced at Lu Yuan and saw the anticipation in his eyes.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment and said:

"Okay, when I have some free time."

He had essentially taken Lu Yuan's favor as a favor, and now that Lu Yuan was taking this opportunity to ask, it was indeed difficult for him to refuse.

"Good!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan's expression changed, and he was overjoyed, his excitement even more evident than that of Huang Jiuzhao.

At that moment, Mu Fan also ran over.

He was clearly taken aback when he saw Lu Yuan.

"Has Master been exposed?"

Coming to his senses, Mu Fan asked Gu Chen if he had missed anything.

Gu Chen explained some key information.

After listening, Mu Fan pondered for a moment, then a look of surprise and realization appeared on his face:

"I knew it couldn't be as simple as just reading books to enjoy life."

Mu Fan gently shook his head, thinking to himself:

"I do recall a saying, 'There are golden houses in books,' but I never expected Junior Brother Xiao to have taken on an extra golden house to keep a beauty."

"Although women can slow down the speed at which you draw your sword, Junior Brother Xiao doesn't use a blade anyway, and his hand speed is already ridiculously fast. Having a woman around doesn't really have much of an impact."

Mu Fan glanced at Lu Changzhi:

"Master is starting to cultivate a mysterious and powerful persona now. It seems I should attend this Law Contemplation Gathering as an elder."

At this moment, Mu Fan understood.

Law Contemplation Gathering without actually observing the Dharma is just waiting to enjoy a feast!
