The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#657 - Poor eyesight

Lu Jing handed the roster he got from Luo Cheng Song to Yan Yun.

The latter opened the roster, glanced at the names on it, and then circled seven people with her finger, paused, and added one more.

"The first seven may have some connection with the Demonic Path… Note that I said 'may'. In fact, those who can come to participate in today's righteous alliance, even if they are just following their masters and elders, are all young talents from various factions, with bright futures themselves. To be honest, the possibility of colluding with the Demonic Path is not high."

"What about the last one?"

"His father is Lü Qinghou, and there is almost no possibility of rebellion. I noticed him because he seemed obviously distracted today."

Yan Yun said, "As for whether anyone possesses strange objects, it's hard to say."

Lu Jing didn't have a good solution to this. In any case, it was good to be able to rule out the possibility of someone colluding with the Demonic Path first.

So he said to Yan Yun, "How about you and I each take four of these eight people and explore their backgrounds first?"

Yan Yun subconsciously wanted to refute.

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing.

Whether it was making up her mind before, or sorting out her mood afterward.

Although she had been very indifferent in the afternoon, her heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. After Lu Jing left, she practiced swordsmanship for a long time before she barely calmed her mind.

As a result, she was going to get involved with that person again.

However, Lu Jing's reason made it impossible for her to refuse. As a disciple of the academy and the Eldest Senior Sister of Yunshui Jingci Pavilion, she could not sit idly by whether it was a strange object causing trouble or the Demonic Path invading.

Moreover, there were so many righteous masters present tonight. If there were any mishaps, it would be an immeasurable blow to the future of the martial world.

The rise and fall of the righteous path was obviously above personal feelings.

So Yan Yun didn't hesitate much and agreed immediately.

"Okay, meet here again after an incense stick's time."

Although the matter of the evil demons was still uncertain, Lu Jing's spirits were lifted when he saw that he had strong support. After separating from Yan Yun, he casually found a young disciple to inquire and walked towards his first target.

That person's name was Guan Chao, from Xijian Pavilion, a disciple of Yuan Liubai, the Broken Water Sword, one of the Thirteen Famous Swords.

Lu Jing observed for a while from the side, and saw that Guan Chao, like the other young disciples who came to the alliance tonight, was taking advantage of this rare opportunity to walk around and make friends.

After he finished chatting with a disciple from Tiandao Sect, Lu Jing took the initiative to greet him.

Guan Chao had a smile on his face. Although he didn't know Lu Jing, he still politely cupped his fists at Lu Jing, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but may I ask which sect is your friend from?"

"Me? I'm different from the people here," Lu Jing said.

His words stunned Guan Chao. Before Guan Chao could say anything, he saw Lu Jing suddenly take a half step forward, leaned close to his ear, and lowered his voice, "The situation has changed, tonight's plan is canceled."

Guan Chao took a step back and frowned, "What do you mean?"

Lu Jing looked into Guan Chao's eyes and saw deep vigilance and confusion, but no other emotions.

So Lu Jing said, "Didn't Lü Meilang tell you? After the alliance ends later, we plan to find a brothel to drink and have fun, but he seems to have other things to do temporarily and can't go, so he asked me to inform the others."

As Lu Jing spoke, he raised his eyebrows at Guan Chao and made a 'you know' expression.

Hearing this, the vigilance in Guan Chao's eyes faded a lot, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "So you are Brother Lü's friend, but he didn't mention anything about drinking at a brothel to me."

"Oh, really?" Lu Jing showed an embarrassed look, "It seems I found the wrong person."

"It's okay," Guan Chao said, glanced around, and also learned from Lu Jing to lower his voice, "I heard from Pavilion Master Han that we will stay in the capital for two more days after the alliance ends. If you really have any good places to go then, take me with you."

"Easy, easy," Lu Jing said with a laugh.

At the same time, he secretly crossed out Guan Chao's name on the list.

After that, Lu Jing used similar methods to trick the other two people, but their reactions were similar to Guan Chao's.

And they all showed varying degrees of interest in the brothel that Lu Jing had made up.

Okay, Lu Jing thought to himself that these righteous young heroes were also quite miserable, following the sect leader and pavilion master out, and they must be strictly controlled on weekdays.

Obviously, they had arrived in the first good capital of the world, looking at the full range of styles, but no one dared to run around blindly. It was rare for a daring person to lead the way, and the responders immediately gathered in droves.

Unfortunately, Lu Jing was just drawing a pie in the sky, and Guan Chao and others were destined to be happy for nothing.

After eliminating three people in one breath, Lu Jing only spent less than half a cup of tea's time, and then he walked towards Lü Meilang.

If there was a list of prodigal sons in the martial world, Lü Meilang would definitely be on the list.

He was obviously not bad in talent and aptitude, and as the son of Lü Qinghou, the owner of Xiaoyao Villa, his starting point could be described as perfect, but unlike his world-famous brother, he only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun all day long, indulging himself.

It can be said that he was very laid back.

But Lu Jing knew that all this was actually a facade. Lü Meilang dreamed of surpassing his brother. He was previously bewitched by the murderous secret book, and he revealed the secrets hidden deep in his heart.

As the only sober person in the restaurant at the time, Lu Jing naturally heard all his inner thoughts.

Of course, this was a family matter of Xiaoyao Villa, and Lu Jing didn't intend to intervene.

However, he was clear that Lü Meilang's mind was much deeper than his peers. Lü Meilang had been pretending for more than ten years without revealing any flaws. The little tricks Lu Jing used to trick Guan Chao and the other two might not work on him here.

Fortunately, Lu Jing had other means to deal with Lü Meilang.

Tonight, Lü Meilang did seem a little distracted, as Yan Yun said, which was quite rare for him. However, he himself was not a person who liked to socialize very much. Everyone knew that the Second Young Master Lü devoted himself to landscapes and entertainment and didn't care much about the affairs of the martial world.

So not many people came to make friends with him. Lü Meilang enjoyed the peace and quiet, and found a small table to drink by himself.

However, he had only drunk less than a pot of wine when he had company.

Lü Meilang heard the sound of someone sitting down in front of him, but didn't even lift his eyelids. He sighed and said, "Is your vision not very good?"

"Why do you say that?" Lu Jing asked.

"There are so many young talents in this restaurant waiting to make friends, but you just happened to pick the only playboy who doesn't want to make friends and sit down opposite him. What is that if not bad vision?"
