Chapter 146: Persuading Lu Fengxian to Seek Out Lin Xian'er
Chapter 146: Persuading Lu Fengxian to Seek Out Lin Xian'er
Lu Fengxian's expression finally turned serious. "So you fought against Official Jin Hong and Jing Wumeng today?"
Official Jin Hong and Jing Wumeng were, of course, also two of his targets for this expedition.
Li Xinhuan nodded. "They are very formidable."
Lu Fengxian fell silent. Earlier, You Longsheng had made it clear that it was Guo Songyang and Bai Tianyu who had crossed paths with Official Jin Hong and Jing Wumeng.
Two against two—it seemed like a stalemate.
For the first time, Lu Fengxian looked directly at You Longsheng, recalling his second statement.
You Longsheng remained nonchalant. He knew what kind of person Lu Fengxian was—a stunning and exceptional figure who could befriend Li Xinhuan, but whose story took a sharp turn as his character darkened, causing him to lose some of his allure.
Without the foundation of his arrogance, his spirit and confidence once shattered, he ended up more useless than Afeng.
However, Ding Baiyun's gaze turned cold. Official Jin Hong was a formidable villain who had proven himself. What right did you, Lu Fengxian, ranked fifth on the 'Weapon Chart', have to put on airs before us?
Yet, despite her aristocratic background, she was well aware of when to speak and what to say. Since they hadn't been acquainted, and Lu Fengxian had merely ignored them, she naturally wouldn't mock him for it.
"Do I need others to determine if I'm an expert or not?" Lu Fengxian scoffed, his eyes filled with disdain.
"That's not necessarily true," You Longsheng said with a laugh. "There are many experts in the martial arts world, but only one peerless beauty."
"Lin Xian'er?"
"Yes, Lin Xian'er," You Longsheng confirmed with a smile. "Do you know how many martial arts masters have fallen under her spell and willingly become her subordinates?"
As You Longsheng spoke, Li Xinhuan, Guo Songyang, and Bai Tianyu all remained silent.
This caused Lu Fengxian to regard You Longsheng with more respect. Although this man's martial arts skills were lacking, the fact that he could befriend these three peerless masters on equal terms showed that he was no ordinary person.
"How many women do I have?" Lu Fengxian asked, his lips curving slightly as he spoke arrogantly. "Do you think I would fall under Lin Xian'er's spell?"
"I don't know," You Longsheng replied. "I only know that Li Xinhuan resisted Lin Xian'er's seduction, but Guo Songyang couldn't resist and ended up in her bed. That's why Old Guo couldn't defeat Old Li."
Li Xinhuan couldn't help but smile bitterly, while Guo Songyang ground his teeth in frustration.
Lu Fengxian's expression remained unchanged as he turned to Bai Tianyu. "And what about this one?"
He had recognized Li Xinhuan and Guo Songyang, but he wasn't familiar with Bai Tianyu.
Bai Tianyu smiled. "Bai Tianyu. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Lin Xian'er, which is a real pity."
"The Master of the Divine Blade Hall!" Lu Fengxian's eyes lit up. "There are countless experts beyond the Central Plains."
Everyone laughed at his words. When Bai Tianyu had first seen Lu Fengxian, he had expressed a similar sentiment. It was just too coincidental that several of the most powerful masters in the world had all gathered here today.
"And it seems that Official Jin Hong and Jing Wumeng, who showed up today, have also gotten involved with Lin Xian'er." You Longsheng continued, "A woman who can be connected to the top experts in the world is no ordinary person. How can one claim to be an expert without experiencing Lin Xian'er's allure?"
Lu Fengxian turned to You Longsheng. "I heard you gave her your family's heirloom, the Fish Intestine Sword."
You Longsheng nodded. "That's why I can't defeat Old Guo."
Lu Fengxian let out a cold laugh and looked deeply into You Longsheng's eyes. "Do you have a grudge against Lin Xian'er?"
He had come to challenge Li Xinhuan and the others, but You Longsheng seemed to be steering the conversation towards Lin Xian'er. Lu Fengxian wasn't a fool; he could tell what You Longsheng was trying to do.
"Curious to see if you can walk out of Lin Xian'er's room." You Longsheng smiled. "Only those who can walk out of Lin Xian'er's room can be their match."
You Longsheng's smile was harmless as he continued, "You should know that a true master not only possesses superior martial arts skills but also has an unwavering spirit and conviction to reach the pinnacle."
Lu Fengxian remained silent, but he acknowledged that You Longsheng's words were true.
Just the fact that he could recognize this showed that his future was limitless. It was his unmatched arrogance that supported him through the countless hardships he endured over the past decade, discarding his silver spear and relentlessly training these three fingers.
So this time, when he emerged from seclusion, he intended to challenge the top four of the 'Weapon Chart', as well as Afeng and Jing Wumeng, the two swift swords, officially claiming the title of the best in the world! Even with the addition of Bai Tianyu, Lu Fengxian remained confident. With these three fingers, no weapon in the world could come within a foot of him.
However, since Guo Songyang and Bai Tianyu had just dueled with Official Jin Hong and Jing Wumeng, his pride would not allow him to take advantage of their weakened state. Today was not a suitable day for a duel.
Additionally, even those two, rumored to be cold and ruthless, had become entangled with Lin Xian'er, which sparked Lu Fengxian's curiosity about the number one beauty in the martial arts world.
Just how beautiful was she?
Lu Fengxian was by no means lacking in female company. Even during his decade of arduous martial arts training, he had not abstained from women, and he had never once fallen for any of them. Thus, he did not believe that any woman could enchant him.
Since that was the case...
"Lin Xian'er is worthy of pride if she can be the woman who strengthens our resolve." Lu Fengxian said indifferently.
"But one misstep, and you'll fall into eternal hell, sinking into a sea of suffering, a fate worse than death." You Longsheng kindly reminded him.
Lu Fengxian scoffed, "Like Afeng?"
It was common knowledge that Lin Xian'er and Afeng had disappeared together. Over the past two years, most of the men who had shared Lin Xian'er's bed had secretly mocked Afeng.
Since Lin Xian'er still had entanglements with so many men, Afeng must have been ruined.
Lu Fengxian easily understood this.
Li Xinhuan's expression turned ugly. "Afeng will make a comeback, and it won't take him ten years."
Lu Fengxian snorted but remained silent, seeing no need to say more.
Then he got up from his seat and said indifferently, "I'll come looking for you all again."
Guo Songyang replied calmly, "I'll be waiting anytime."
"The Iron Sword of Songyang." Lu Fengxian smiled. "It's been ten years, and sooner or later, we'll have to cross swords."
With that, Lu Fengxian bowed slightly to the group and turned to leave, disappearing into the crowd on the long street.
...
"Such heavy arrogance." Bai Tianyu commented. "I've never met anyone as proud as him."
"He has the capital to be proud," Li Xinhuan said.
Guo Songyang nodded. The pressure Lu Fengxian exerted on him was not insignificant, even greater than that of Jing Wumeng. He did not feel confident about winning in a duel between the two of them.
You Longsheng watched Lu Fengxian's departing figure with great interest.
"What are you looking at?" Ding Baiyun asked.
"I'm looking forward to our next meeting." You Longsheng smiled.
