“Go.”

Yue Buqun nodded.

After Jiang Ning left for a while, Ning Zhongze discovered that Yue Buqun’s expression was still the same as before, calm on the surface, but unable to hide his smile.

“Are you so happy?”

Although Ning Zhongze was also very happy that Jiang Ning had killed four guards of the Songshan Sect, he was not as happy as Yue Buqun.

“hehe.”

Yue Buqun just smiled and said nothing.

He was happy to have a disciple like Jiang Ning.

……

After leaving his master and mistress, Jiang Ning planned to go back to his room, but he had just slept in the afternoon, so he was not in a hurry to go back to his room. He just walked around the academy.

Willow branches on the moon.

The May wind blows on my face, bringing a gentle breath, and the croaking of frogs and cicadas can be heard from time to time in the distance.

Before he knew it, Jiang Ning arrived at a lotus pond.

Huh?

Jiang Ning found a woman sitting beside the lotus, lost in thought, as if she was worried about something.

Du Lanyin?

Jiang Ning walked a little closer and found that it was Du Lanyin.

“Sister?”

Jiang Ning’s arrival did not attract Du Lanyin’s attention until Jiang Ning spoke.

Du Lanyin turned around and found that it was Jiang Ning. The expression on his face disappeared and then he smiled.

“It’s my junior brother.”

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, then sat down not far from her.

Du Lanyin asked with a little curiosity: “Where has Junior Brother been these past few months? I haven’t heard from you yet.”

Jiang Ning briefly described his travels, and Du Lanyin nodded from time to time. Only after Jiang Ning finished speaking did he smile and said, “Junior brother, you have been to so many places. If I have the chance, I would also like to travel.”

Jiang Ning smiled and then brought up the topic: “I saw Senior Sister sitting here alone. Is she worried about something?”

Du Lanyin’s previous expression reappeared upon hearing this, but it disappeared immediately. He shook his head and smiled, “Nothing.”

Seeing that she didn’t want to talk, Jiang Ning didn’t ask any more questions. After chatting for a while, Jiang Ning stood up.

“It’s getting late. I’ll take my leave now. Go to bed early, Senior Sister.”

Du Lanyin nodded: “Okay, Junior Brother, go to bed early too.”

After the two said goodbye to each other, Jiang Ning left.

Seeing Jiang Ning leave, Du Lanyin stared at the lotus pond in a daze again.

After returning to the house, Jiang Ning went straight to bed and did not wake up until the next morning. After washing up, Jiang Ning changed his clothes and went out. Lin Pingzhi was already waiting outside.

“Good morning, senior brother.”

Lin Pingzhi saluted.

“Morning, Junior Brother Lin.”

Jiang Ning nodded in return and then walked out.

“Let’s go.”

Chapter 337: Martial Arts Competition

“So early?”

Lin Pingzhi was stunned for a moment.

“It is late.”

Jiang Ning replied calmly.

If he had not arrived in Luoyang yesterday, he would have told Yue Buqun some information. Yesterday he was going to take Lin Pingzhi to Meijian Villa.

Seeing that Jiang Ning was really going, Lin Pingzhi hurried to follow.

The two of them walked towards the outside of the academy and met Chen Lanjin again on the way.

“Mr. Lin, Mr. Jiang…Mr. Jiang.”

After seeing Lin Ping, Chen Lanjin’s eyes lit up and she immediately greeted him, but when she saw Jiang Ning, her eyes narrowed, as if she was a little scared.

“Miss Chen.”

Jiang Ning and Lin Pingzhi bowed in greeting.

Chen Lanjin quickly returned the greeting and then asked curiously, “Where are you planning to go?”

Lin Pingzhi replied: “Nothing, I have something to go out for.”

Lin Pingzhi was reluctant to say more, but Chen Lanjin saw that he and Jiang Ning were both holding swords, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

Chen Lanjin looked at Jiang Ning, then at Lin Pingzhi, and suddenly thought of something. Her eyes lit up and she asked, “Are you planning to go to Plum Sword Villa to find Master Zhao?”

Chen Lanjin was very smart and immediately thought of the two people planning to cause trouble for Meijian Villa.

“Now Master Zhao is setting up a martial arts competition on West Street to recruit a bride. Are you going there now?”

A martial arts competition to find a bride on West Street?

Hearing this, Lin Pingzhi’s expression became even gloomier.

Seeing the expression on his face, Chen Lanjin realized that there was something interesting to watch, and hurriedly said, “Can I go with you? I’m very familiar with Luoyang, I’ll take you there.”

“This……”

Lin Pingzhi was a little embarrassed and didn’t know what to say, so he looked at Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Then I’ll trouble you, Miss Chen.”

There was nothing shameful about what he was about to do, so it didn’t matter if the other party wanted to follow and watch.

“it is good!”

Chen Lanjin looked very excited, and her eyes kept switching back and forth between Jiang Ning and Lin Pingzhi.

The weak junior brother was humiliated by someone breaking off his engagement, and the notorious senior brother came to his house to stand up for him?

For some reason, Chen Lanjin felt very excited and couldn’t help but smile.

Lin Pingzhi looked at her strangely, wondering why she was happier than him.

Seeing Lin Pingzhi looking at her, Chen Lanjin quickly covered her mouth to hide her smile, but the corners of her eyes curved again.

Lin Pingzhi felt strange and didn’t say anything else.

After leaving the academy, the three of them headed straight towards West Street. At this time, Luoyang Street was already very busy, with people walking in a hurry on the road.

By the time Jiang Ning and his two companions arrived at Luoyang West Street, the place was already packed with people. At the innermost part was an arena with a large flag planted next to it, with four big characters “Martial Arts Competition to Recruit a Bride” written on it.

Above the ring was a row of stands with several people sitting on them.

There was no one fighting on the arena at this time, so it probably hadn’t started yet.

“Brother, he is Zhao Tianlai.”

Lin Pingzhi stood outside the crowd, pointed at a person in the stands, and his expression turned cold.

Jiang Ning followed his gaze and saw four people sitting in the stands, two men and two women, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman, a woman who looked a few years younger than Lin Pingzhi, and a young man.

The middle-aged man was Zhao Tianlai.

At this time, Zhao Tianlai was talking to the young man.

They were a bit far away, so Jiang Ning didn’t know what they were talking about, but he didn’t care.

“Let’s go, let’s go there.”

Jiang Ning said, and then headed towards the ring.

“Master Zhao.”

In the stands.

The elegant and noble young man frowned and said, “Before you told me that Xin’er was engaged to a man named Lin Pingzhi, I didn’t say anything, but I heard that Lin Pingzhi’s family has been destroyed and his Fuwei Escort Agency is no longer in existence, so the engagement with Xin’er is naturally invalid. I have been in love with Xin’er for a long time, why has Master Zhao never agreed to my nephew’s proposal? Why did you have to go to the trouble of holding a martial arts competition to recruit a bride?”

Zhao Tianlai smiled when he heard this and said, “Mr. Li, I know you really love Xin’er, but we are a family of Jianghu people after all, and Jianghu people have their own rules.”

“My nephew Naping’s family has met with misfortune, and his parents have passed away. My Zhao and Lin families have been friends for many years.”

Zhao Tianlai sighed and said, “My nephew Pingzhi suddenly came to visit me some time ago and said he wanted to cancel his engagement with Xiner.”

Zhao Tianlai sighed again and said, “In fact, I know that nephew Pingzhi feels that he is not worthy of Xiner now. Although he has joined Huashan Sect as a disciple, he is afraid that he will not be able to give Xiner a better life in the future. That’s why he wants to cancel the engagement and doesn’t want to delay Xiner. But Brother Lin and I have been friends for many years and we are sworn brothers. Now he has left behind such an only son. If I cancel the engagement, how can I face Brother Lin? But no matter what I said, nephew Pingzhi was determined to do so, so I had to agree. In the end, I wanted to let him stay for a few more days, but he insisted on leaving. Alas.”

Master Li smiled when he heard this and said, “Everyone has his own destiny. Since this is his own choice, then Master Zhao cannot be blamed.”

Zhao Tianlai wiped the tears from his eyes and continued, “Although my nephew Pingzhi has canceled the engagement, Xin’er can be betrothed to someone else, but Master Li is from an official family after all, which is different from my family of martial arts. If I agree to Master Li’s proposal, I am afraid that my fellow martial artists will say that I am clinging to the powerful, and it will be even more difficult for Plum Sword Villa to gain a foothold in the martial arts world. That’s why I did this. Master Li, please understand.”

Master Li frowned when he heard this, but didn’t say anything else. The martial arts competition to win the bride was about to begin, and it was useless to say these things.

Young Master Li looked at the beautiful woman who had been silent, and said, “Xin’er, don’t worry, I have made arrangements, there won’t be any accidents.”

He has bribed some martial arts masters to participate in the martial arts competition and they are all here now. When the time comes, these masters will deliberately lose to him, and then he will be able to successfully marry Zhao Xiner.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiner glanced at Master Li, lowered her head as if shy, and just hummed softly in response.

Seeing the two people’s reactions, Zhao Tianlai and his wife looked at each other and saw a hint of excitement in each other’s eyes.

The Li family behind this young master Li is a very powerful official family. If the Zhao family can marry into such a family, then the Zhao and Li families will unite, one in the underworld and the other in the court, which will surely make the Zhao family more and more glorious.

This in-law is much better than the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Zhao Tianlai could already imagine the scene of Meijian Villa becoming more and more prosperous in the future.
