Chapter 48 The Young Old Celestial Master
Hearing the old man's words.
Lu Jin had no intention of hiding it from his elders, so he told Lu Xuan and the old man about the conflict between the two pairs of brothers in detail.
"...That's it."
After speaking, Lu Jin looked up at Lu Xuan.
Oh no, how come Father is here with Uncle?!
I originally only wanted to tell my father, but now I can only tell my uncle!
My father respected my great-uncle the most. If I bring this up in front of him and my great-uncle now, I'll be scolded to death!
Senior brother, you've really put me in a terrible situation!
Thinking it over, Lu Jin closed her eyes, preparing to accept her father's criticism.
However, what he was met first was not Lu Xuan's criticism, but Lu's old master's laughter.
He pointed at Lu Xuan and laughed heartily.
"Haha, Xuan'er, look at these little guys! They're so energetic! Even if we don't let them compete, they can't stay still!"
Although the conflict arose from a dispute over personal feelings, the old man didn't care about it.
It's normal for young people to have a short temper.
As the saying goes, "No fight, no friendship," meaning that people who have fought are more likely to become friends.
In a few decades, these young people will become big shots in their own right, and what we now call conflict might just become a beautiful story.
Lu Xuan smiled and agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Then he looked at Lu Jin.
"Can!"
They actually agreed!
Lu Jin was surprised, but also relieved that she wouldn't be scolded, and quickly nodded in agreement.
He was preparing to leave.
A voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Uncle Xuan, Grandpa!"
"Feng Ping of the Huode Sect and Zhuge Yunhui of the Wuhou Sect said they wanted to put on a show for the old master."
Lu Jin's lips twitched, and a scene flashed through his mind: a boy in red with pigtails asking to learn about Maoshan talismans.
This Fengping is someone who can't stay idle!
Grandpa Lu didn't think much of it and readily agreed.
But not long after that...
Another voice came from outside the door.
"Xuanbo! Master!"
"Feng Tianyang from Liangshan and Liao Tianlin from Jiyun Society said they wanted to perform a show with the old man."
Now, Lu Xuan frowned slightly.
This is never going to end!
He looked at the old man.
The old man also had a frown on his face.
Lu Xuan nodded in agreement.
That's right, after all, it's a birthday banquet. No matter how much the old man likes a lively atmosphere, it's not appropriate for him to keep making a move!
He was just about to refuse.
Old Master Lu suddenly looked at him, his tone a mixture of excitement and probing.
"Xuan'er, you know, there are already so many people here, and there might be more later. Why don't we just hold a competition? Let these restless little guys burn off some energy, and it'll be more interesting to see them fight."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan's eyelids twitched several times.
So you were worried that it wasn't lively enough?
After a short while, Lu Xuan sighed.
Fine! Since the old man himself doesn't care, why should I worry about it?
After figuring it out.
Lu Xuan nodded to his uncle, then looked at Lu Jin and said.
"Jin'er, go to the courtyard and tell anyone who wants to perform for Grandpa Lu tomorrow that they don't need to find a competitor, they can just sign up with you. We'll give them a chance to perform tomorrow."
"Of course, those who have already found an opponent will still play against the same opponent."
He gritted his teeth and continued.
"Isn't there a stage by the entrance? Tell those Nuo performers to stop their shows tomorrow, clear it out, find someone with the skills to reinforce it, and use it as a fighting arena."
Grandpa Lu laughed heartily upon hearing this, and even clapped his hands.
"Great! This is lively! It's been years since the industry has been this lively!"
Looking at the scene before him, Lu Jin was at a loss for words.
How did things turn out this way?
Fortunately, my uncle didn't seem angry at all; on the contrary, he seemed quite happy.
Then, Lu Jin left the old master's room and went outside to announce the matter in the courtyard.
Lu Xuan didn't linger and quickly went into the inner room.
Although it's voluntary, you still need to inform the elders in each family in advance.
............
About fifteen minutes later.
Outside the courtyard.
Lu Jin then announced to everyone that there would be a competition the next day.
The scene immediately erupted in uproar.
You should know that most of the sects in the supernatural community have attended this Lu family birthday banquet. If you can make a name for yourself in this competition, you will become famous overnight!
Even without any real benefits, many people are still eager to participate just for this reason.
Moreover, the courtyard is full of energetic young people.
He'll find a reason to fight even if there isn't one!
"Young Master Lu, let me do it!"
Count me in!
"Count me in too!"
In no time, there was a surge of responses.
The already bustling Lu family courtyard became even more noisy.
Meanwhile, in a corner that no one noticed.
Zhang Zhiwei was drinking alone.
He didn't even glance at Lu Jin.
On Mount Longhu, none of his fellow disciples, even those much older than him, could defeat him.
The people in the courtyard now are not even as good as his senior brothers, so of course he has no interest in them.
Zhang Zhiwei thought he would just eat and drink his way through the birthday banquet.
At this moment, the Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing came out from the inner room and found Zhang Zhiwei.
He pointed to Lu Jin in the center of the courtyard.
"Go sign up now!"
Zhang Jingqing knew that Zhang Zhiwei's cultivation had been too smooth, and he no longer regarded his peers with respect.
If I don't urge him, he might not want to participate.
Sure enough, upon hearing Zhang Jingqing's words, Zhang Zhiwei curled his lip.
"Master, why do you want to join in this kind of fun? It's Old Master Lu's birthday celebration. If I were to run into a member of the Lu family and knock them unconscious with a slap, would that be appropriate?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingqing was immediately furious.
"You unfilial disciple, you won't listen to me anymore! So arrogant, are you going to slap me unconscious in a few years?!"
He blew his beard and glared, then continued.
"When you encounter someone inferior to you, can't you just give way a little? Do you have to knock them unconscious with a slap? That's just showing off!"
Zhang Jingqing became increasingly angry as she spoke.
"Let me tell you, there's always someone better, and there's always someone more capable. You can ignore others, but this time I've found you Master Zuo's top disciple, so you'd better take this seriously!"
As he spoke, he kicked Zhang Zhiwei in the butt.
Zhang Zhiwei was kicked off the stool and almost fell to the ground. He rubbed his buttocks and said to Zhang Jingqing.
"Hey, Master, what are you doing?! I was just asking, I didn't say I wasn't going, why are you kicking my butt?!"
With that, he scurried off toward Lu Jin.
If future generations saw this, they probably wouldn't believe that the highly respected old Celestial Master looked like this when he was young.
Looking at Zhang Zhiwei's back, Zhang Jingqing felt a little strange.
Why is this unfilial disciple so obedient today? In the past, he would have had to be urged two or three times!
Little did he know that Zhang Zhiwei's quick agreement stemmed from another reason besides obeying his master's orders.
That was Zhang Jingqing's last sentence.
The most outstanding disciple of the Left Gate Master.
This reminded Zhang Zhiwei of the young Taoist priest from the Sanyi Sect he had met that afternoon.
Zhang Zhiwei wasn't interested in the others, but he was interested in Li Cunzhen participating in the competition.
That's something we could do for fun.
