“Yes! I won today!”
Huang Rong looked at the six fish in her fishing basket, overjoyed.
They had competed a total of five times, and she finally won!
It was not easy at all.
Lu Yu smiled and said, "Then I'll cook for you tomorrow."
"I want to eat that grilled fish you mentioned last time!"
"No problem."
"Hehe, then I'll be waiting for it tomorrow."
Huang Rong exclaimed excitedly.
Then she looked at the sky, estimated the time, and said, "It's about time, I have to go back and prepare the dishes for lunch."
Bai Zhan Tang had already confronted Guo Fu Rong last night and returned the stolen items, finally ending the theft incident. The Seven Heroes Town returned to normal, and the Tongfu Inn naturally resumed business.
"Then I'll go with you, just in time to deliver the fish."
"Hmm, hmm!"
But as soon as they reached the inn entrance, they heard Guo Fu Rong's furious roar, "You damn old thief! This is my purse! I'll kill you!"
Hearing the commotion, Lu Yu and Huang Rong were both stunned. They then saw Bai Zhan Tang and Guo Fu Rong running out of the inn, one after another.
"What are you doing?!"
Bai Zhan Tang hid behind Lu Yu and said.
Seeing this, Lu Yu quickly stopped Guo Fu Rong.
Huang Rong curiously asked, "What's going on? Didn't you admire him yesterday? Why do you suddenly want to kill him?"
Guo Fu Rong raised the purse in her hand and said angrily, "This is my purse! When I was seventeen years old, the first time I ran away from home, I brought this purse with me!
I had just left home when someone stole my purse, leaving me without money to travel, so I had to go back. My father locked me up for three years because of this incident!
I never imagined that the old thief who stole my purse was you!
And you even used my money to do good deeds, and I admired you for several years because of this!
Also, your Jianghu legends are all fake!
Aaaaah! It's so infuriating!
Guo Fu Rong became more and more agitated, her whole body almost filled with smoke from anger.
Lu Yu glanced at Huang Rong, and she immediately understood.
"Sister Guo, don't bother with Big Brother Bai. Come on, let's go to the kitchen, I'll cook you something delicious."
Huang Rong said, taking Guo Fu Rong inside. Guo Fu Rong didn't resist.
She also knew she couldn't beat Bai Zhan Tang. It was just a moment of anger, she just wanted to vent.
Now that there was no chance, she might as well eat some delicious food to calm down.
Seeing this, Bai Zhan Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Big Brother Bai, did you tease Miss Guo again?"
Lu Yu said helplessly.
"How could I tease her? Everything I said just now is true. My legends were all fake. The Yangzhou Governor's concubine, the Four Great Thieves of Jiangnan, the Nine Dragon Cup, they were all framed on me by others.
I originally told Xiao Guo this to make her stop admiring me, but I didn't expect that purse to be hers.
It's really a narrow path that leads to the enemy."
Bai Zhan Tang complained.
"Your legends may be fake, but your skills are real. Those cases, if you hadn't investigated them yourself, how would you know who framed you?
Not to mention, you managed to get the Fuyuan General to tell you the truth about the Nine Dragon Cup, that's a great skill. "
Lu Yu smiled.
The legends of the Great Thief may be fake, but Bai Zhan Tang was able to figure out all the legends about himself, which still speaks of his skill.
Whether it was the Four Great Thieves of Jiangnan or the Fuyuan General, they were not easy to talk to.
Bai Zhan Tang was able to make them speak and then escape unscathed, his strength was indeed not simple.
At least so far, Lu Yu hasn't seen Bai Zhan Tang's true strength.
But one thing is for sure, Bai Zhan Tang's strength has regressed in the past two years.
He has been a waiter for two years and hasn't practiced martial arts, it's no wonder his skills have declined.
Hearing this, Bai Zhan Tang was stunned.
"Xiao Lu, you really can't be fooled by anything. It did take me a lot of effort to investigate these things back then.
Especially that Fuyuan General!
If it weren't for my light skills being quite advanced back then, I might not have been able to leave the General's Mansion that day."
Speaking of this, Bai Zhan Tang was still a little apprehensive.
"Big Brother Bai, what realm are you in?"
Lu Yu asked curiously.
"It doesn't matter what realm. I've retired from the Jianghu now, and I won't need martial arts in the future."
"That's not necessarily true. The inn is a place of right and wrong, what if another enhanced version of the Double Heroes comes along?
If you want to protect the inn, your own strength can't fall behind.
Otherwise, when the crisis comes, that feeling of helplessness will make you regret your slack today.
Besides, retiring from the Jianghu and practicing or not practicing martial arts have no direct relationship.
Only when your fists are strong can you decide whether you retreat or not."
Hearing this, Bai Zhan Tang was startled.
It seems that's right.
Why didn't he think of that before?
"You're right, I was being naive before. Now that everyone knows my identity, I don't have to worry about exposing my identity and not daring to practice.
I should pick up martial arts again. I've recently discovered that my acupoint striking is a little off."
Bai Zhan Tang said.
Seeing that Bai Zhan Tang had come to his senses, Lu Yu said, "Big Brother Bai, how about we practice sometime tonight?
I also want to know what level I am at now.
You have a lot of Jianghu experience, just consider it as you guiding me."
"Alright. I'm also curious, what martial arts have you been practicing lately? I feel like you've been getting stronger every day, you're already at the peak of the first-rate realm, right?"
Bai Zhan Tang was actually very curious about Lu Yu's cultivation speed.
From the time he discovered that Lu Yu had cultivation, it had only been seven or eight days.
But in those seven or eight days, he found that every time he saw Lu Yu, his aura had become stronger.
He was at the early stage of the first-rate realm a few days ago, and today he's already at the peak of the first-rate realm.
This breakthrough speed is absurd.
He even suspected that Lu Yu had received the transmission of a Jianghu master and was gradually digesting the internal energy.
Otherwise, this cultivation speed is simply ridiculous.
"I just managed to break through this morning."
Lu Yu smiled innocently.
"You kid, you're a monster."
Bai Zhan Tang couldn't help but complain.
As night fell.
As per their agreement earlier, Bai Zhan Tang arrived near Lu Yu's house.
Lu Yu had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Big Brother Bai, you're finally here."
Seeing Bai Zhan Tang, Lu Yu smiled faintly.
"Come on! I haven't had a serious fight with anyone in a long time. I'll have a good time with you today and get back in the groove."
Bai Zhan Tang laughed.
"Okay."
Lu Yu didn't hesitate, he said a word and directly activated his light skills.
Catching the Wind and Shadow!
Lu Yu moved forward quickly, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Bai Zhan Tang.
Bai Zhan Tang's pupils constricted and he exclaimed in amazement, "Good light skills!"
As he spoke, he also transformed into an afterimage, and at an even faster speed, he dodged Lu Yu's attack.
The Great Thief's strengths lie in two things.
One is light skills, the other is acupoint striking.
And light skills are the Great Thief's forte!
In the past two years, although Bai Zhan Tang hasn't practiced other martial arts, his light skills have never fallen behind.
After all, light skills can be practiced at any time.
Therefore, his light skills are stronger and faster than they were two years ago.
Even the current Lu Yu cannot compare.
