Chapter 11

"Really? Then I won't be polite."

Upon hearing this, Li Wucheng was overjoyed, showing no intention of declining and immediately agreed.

Li Wucheng had waited so long in Wuxi City, was it just to participate in the wine competition at Songhe Tower? Of course not. He might have had his eyes on the Six Pulse Sword Technique.

Duan Yu and Li Wucheng so casually decided on the transmission of the Six Pulse Sword Technique, even the free-spirited and unconcerned with trivialities Jiaofeng was somewhat surprised.

Jiaofeng asked in shock, "Third Brother, is it really fine for you to teach the Six Pulse Sword Technique to Second Brother?"

Duan Yu smiled and said, "Big Brother, it's fine. You don't know, Second Brother has done me a great favor. Moreover, he taught me two martial arts: the Northern Mystic Skill and the Lingbo Microstep. I used the Lingbo Microstep just now while we were walking."

"Is that so?"

Jiaofeng said in surprise, "I didn't expect Second Brother to be such a generous and open-minded person. I, as the elder brother, have been too petty."

Just now, when they were competing in footspeed, the steps Duan Yu and Li Wucheng displayed were clearly a very high-level lightness skill, one that could be considered a supreme technique.

From the Lingbo Microstep to the Northern Mystic Skill, it was evident that they were both extremely advanced martial arts. For Li Wucheng to be willing to teach such techniques to others, it showed his generosity and magnanimity.

Li Wucheng smiled, "Big Brother, please don't laugh. I don't care about other things, but I am obsessed with martial arts. In my lifetime, I want to see the supreme martial arts of the world."

Li Wucheng's words were half true and half false. His love for martial arts was absolutely genuine, but his life goal being just to see various martial arts, even he didn't believe it.

Jiaofeng suddenly understood, "So Second Brother is a martial arts enthusiast. In the future, if there's an opportunity, we can exchange ideas on martial arts."

The meaning behind Jiaofeng's words was very clear. The so-called exchange was just a humble way of saying he wanted to guide Li Wucheng, how could he not be delighted? He said excitedly, "Thank you, Big Brother."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Come, let's go drink."

Jiaofeng said loudly.

Hearing that they were going to drink again, Duan Yu was hesitant. Without the Six Pulse Sword Technique, he would be down after three bowls. Compared to Jiaofeng and Li Wucheng's alcohol tolerance, he was far behind.

After the truth was revealed, Duan Yu couldn't cheat anymore, so he said, "Big Brother, alcohol can harm people. We should stop when it's enough. I think we shouldn't drink anymore today."

Jiaofeng laughed heartily, "Brother, your advice is well taken. But I am as strong as an ox and have loved alcohol since childhood. The more I drink, the more energetic I become. With a major enemy tonight, I need to drink more strong liquor to deal with them properly."

The three returned to Wuxi City. This time, they didn't compete in footspeed but walked side by side at a leisurely pace.

Duan Yu was delighted to have made good friends and was in high spirits. However, he couldn't stop thinking about Murong Fu and Wang Yuyan. After a few casual words, he couldn't help but ask, "Big Brother, you mistook me for Murong Fu earlier. Does that mean Murong Fu looks somewhat like me?"

Jiaofeng said, "I have long heard of the great name of the Murong family of Suzhou. I came to Jiangnan for him. I heard that Murong Fu is elegant and handsome, about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. He is several years older than you, but I never imagined that there was another young gentleman in Jiangnan who was both skilled in martial arts and handsome. I made a mistake, and I am very ashamed."

Hearing that Murong Fu was "skilled in martial arts and handsome," Duan Yu felt a sourness in his heart and asked, "Big Brother, did you come from afar to make friends with him?"

Jiaofeng sighed, his expression darkening, and shook his head, "I had hoped to make friends with him, but I fear it won't be as I wish."

Duan Yu asked, "Why?"

Jiaofeng said, "A close friend of mine died under mysterious circumstances two months ago. People say it was Murong Fu who did it."

Duan Yu exclaimed, "Repaying evil with evil!"

Jiaofeng said, "Exactly. My friend was killed by his own famous technique. Speaking of this, my voice choked, and my expression turned bitter. But the affairs of the martial world are unpredictable and hard to foresee. We cannot hastily accuse someone based on rumors. I came to Jiangnan to find out the truth."

Duan Yu asked, "What is the truth?"

Jiaofeng shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. My friend has been famous for a long time, is upright, and has a gentle disposition. He has always been very cautious in his actions and would not offend Murong Fu without reason. Why he was ambushed is very puzzling."

"I don't think this was done by Murong Fu."

Li Wucheng, who had been listening to their conversation, interjected.

Jiaofeng asked doubtfully, "Why are you so sure, Second Brother?"

Li Wucheng smiled, "I'm not saying this to exonerate Murong Fu, but I know that Murong Fu is very concerned about his reputation. He would never do anything to damage the name he has built in the martial world."

Jiaofeng said in confusion, "What about North Jiaofeng and South Murong? It's just the praise of martial friends. A little fame is not worth so much attention."

Li Wucheng said, "That's Big Brother, who views fame and profit as dung. Murong Fu is different. He wouldn't do such a thing, but he is constrained by his reputation. Observing Murong Fu's actions, they all aim at one goal. Whether he will do extreme things for this goal in the future is uncertain."

Regarding Murong Fu, Li Wucheng only spoke to the point and wouldn't say too much, otherwise, it would affect the plot too much.

In this world of "Demigods and Half-Devils," Li Wucheng had set the opportunities to change the plot at only a few key points. At other times, it was best not to change anything.

As they were talking, two ragged men who looked like beggars ran up the road. Jiaofeng, who was about to speak, stopped.

The two men used their lightness skills and quickly ran up to them, bowing. One said, "Reporting to the leader, four people have intruded into the 'Great Righteousness Branch.' They are very skilled, and Branch Leader Jiang saw that they seemed to have ill intentions. He was afraid he couldn't resist them and ordered us to request assistance from the 'Great Benevolence Branch.'"

Jiaofeng nodded and asked, "Who are these people?"

One of the men said, "Three of them are women, and one is a tall and thin middle-aged man, very rude and impolite."

Jiaofeng grunted, "Branch Leader Jiang is too cautious. It's just one person. Can't he handle it?"

The man said, "Reporting to the leader, those three women also seem to have martial arts skills."

Jiaofeng smiled, "Alright, I'll go take a look."

The two men's faces lit up, and they responded in unison, "Yes!" They stepped back and stood behind Jiaofeng.

Jiaofeng said to Li Wucheng and Duan Yu, "Brothers, will you come with me?"

Duan Yu said, "Of course."

"Good."

Li Wucheng also agreed.
