Unfortunately, I should have brought a camera with me before coming here...
Two minutes later, Wuxian mixed among the crowd, chewing on the watermelon in his hand, looked at the empty ground ahead of him, where Lu Jing was staggering half-kneeling on the ground. And his innocent-looking Zhi Wei behind him. His eyes couldn't help but show a touch of regret.
Although six months ago, he had achieved the feat of slapping Lu Jing into tears during the disciple's practice at San Yi Gate, the experience was vastly different from witnessing it firsthand compared to being a bystander.
Not to mention, if it's possible to record this scene as a memorable moment in the form of a photograph, he could give this as a gift when Zhi Wei or Lu Jing celebrate their hundredth birthday in the future. At that time, their expressions would probably be very interesting.

......
"Evil being! Look at the mess you've made!"
On the other side, watching Zhi Wei's "I haven't tried hard yet, and you've already fallen down" innocent expression, Zhang Jingqing was immediately filled with anger and even his thick beard began to stand up in annoyance.
This is at the Lu family, on the second day of the old master's birthday celebration. You act so lightly and without consideration, slapping the young master to the ground with a single punch. Is that any different from publicly slapping Lu family's face?
Fortunately, it was the Lu family, and Lu Jin was still a disciple of San Yi Men. If it were the Wang or Lu families, or most of the other clans present, they would be considered the outstanding young talents of future pillars of society. How could they not have a little resentment if they were easily defeated in such a manner that is close to humiliating?
In fact, this was the most headache-worthy aspect of Zhang Jingqing regarding Zhi Wei.
Although this kid has an excellent character and wouldn't even think of doing anything evil, his personality is truly as crazy as can be.
In his daily life, he only cares about fulfilling his own desires, and is deeply devoted to his pursuit of enlightenment. He has no interest in learning about such trivial matters as interpersonal relationships and social etiquette. By accident, he may have offended many people without realizing it. Even the brothers in Tianshu Palace have some dissatisfaction with him in their hearts, let alone outsiders who have suffered at his hands.
If he were just an ordinary disciple of any clan, it would have been alright. But Zhi Wei, with the surname "Zhang" and a high acolyte of Tianshu Palace, is highly anticipated by the whole Dragon Tiger Mountain and has a high chance of succeeding the position of Tian Shishi in the future.
And how can the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who leads all the disciples of Zhengyao Tao, simply be a brute who is good at fighting but knows nothing about social customs and etiquette?
After all, even the most powerful protection methods are ultimately only one person. No matter how invincible Zhi Wei will be in the future, can he really defeat the entire alien world?
More and more angered, Zhang Jingqing decided to roll up his sleeves and directly teach this whimless evil being a lesson by himself, so as to give Lu family a proper explanation.
Seeing his own teacher getting angry, Zhi Wei suddenly became stiff all over, and then he knelt down like a reflex, completely lacking the breeze he had shown earlier in defeating Lu Jin.
Just then, a figure stepped in front of Zhang Jingqing and smiled to stop him, saying: "Why do you have to be angry, Master? Zhi Wei had already spared his strength just now. In fact, that's exactly what my family and Lu family wanted. We should be grateful for it."
"That's right, it was my lack of skill, not Master Zhang's fault. Please Master, don't blame Master Zhang."
Having recovered from his dizziness, Lu Jin also approached and tried to reason.
Interestingly, this time he did not cry like in the comic books. It seems that because of his previous similar experience, his ability to endure has greatly increased, which prevented him from losing his composure and making a fool of himself in front of everyone.
"Ha! Master, you've seen it with your own eyes. My son Jin also says it's okay. Don't blame Zhi Wei."
As the host, Mr. Lu laughed very generously and at the same time joked with Master Zhang: "However, if I really have to say something, I would indeed like to point out a few things. Master, you've hidden such a precious apprentice and truly surprised us. Without today's incident, we might still be in the dark."
"Haha, Old Master Lu, you're jesting..."
Zhang Jingqing's face was full of dark lines, but he felt a rush of satisfaction in his heart. He then glared at Zhi Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded him: "What are you waiting for? Apologize to Mr. Lu!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Master, you are right. I will apologize to Mr. Lu right away."
Upon hearing this, Zhi Wei immediately nodded his head like a madman, stood up, and bowed deeply with his hands together, trying to express his apologies.
However, before Zhi Wei could bow down, Zuo Ruotong lifted him up and said with a smile, "Don't rush your apology yet. Zhi Wei, you have another fight to face next. If you can defeat the opponent too, then not only will you not need to apologize, but I myself will personally thank you."
"Ah! More fighting?"
Upon hearing this, Zhi Wei initially looked stunned, then immediately remembered the white-clad youth he saw at the banquet last night, and unconsciously looked around the crowd.
Meanwhile, after finishing his watermelon, Wu Xian's lips curved slightly. Without waiting for Zuo Ruotong to speak, he walked out proactively and bowed to the Old Master Lu, Master Zhang, and other senior figures in the circle.
"Disciple Wu Xian of San Yi Men, greets all the seniors."
After speaking, he looked at Zuo Ruotong again, who had a helpless expression on his face. He grinned and said: "Master, if my guess is correct, you must be thinking of letting Master Zhang fight against me."
Upon his words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly fell silent, and then gradually grew noisy. Everyone around began to be curious about Wu Xian's identity and background.
"Another disciple of San Yi Men, is Left Gate Leader trying to regain face?"
"Brother, do you know this person?"
"I've never seen him before, and I can't sense any threat from him at all. But there's something about him that just seems very unusual."
"His age is about the same as Lu Jin's, can he really contend against that pseudo-surnamed disciple of Tianshu Palace..."
"But since he was specifically called out by Left Gate Leader, I suppose there must be something special about him."
"Whether he can fight or not is beside the point, but he really has a handsome face!"
"Humph! For a man, the most important things are strength and substance. What use is just good-looking appearance?"
"Ha! Mr. Wang, you must be jealous of him!"
"Go away!"
"Gentlemen, let's bet on it. Let's see who wins and who loses between this high disciple of San Yi Men and the Tianshu Palace disciple, Zhang Zhi Wei."
……
The young talents whispered among themselves, eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle. Most of them favored Zhang Zhi Wei, after all, the slap that had knocked Lu Jin unconscious was incredibly impressive.
Such strength is sure to be enough to overpower all the young talents present. Although Wu Xian from the San Yi Men may be very talented, he cannot compare to this.
On the other side, after receiving their masters' reminder to "be mindful of your limits," Wu Xian and Zhi Wei walked to the empty ground where the young talents practiced earlier, stretching out a distance from each other and staring at each other across the space, just as they had last night.
"Speaking honestly."
Zhi Wei looked at Wu Xian and had a slightly strange expression on his face: "When I first saw you yesterday, I had a strange feeling that we would soon fight each other, but I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
"Haha! Well, I was a bit different. I was certain that I would fight against Master Zhang today no matter what. After all, my master has been wanting to find someone to teach me a lesson for quite some time."
Wu Xian said this, glanced in the direction of Zuo Ruotong, and then a playful smile appeared on his face. As if strolling in a leisurely manner, he slowly walked towards the front.
"Master Zhang, a friendly reminder."
As he spoke, thin white steam began to rise from Wu Xian's body, quickly covering him from head to toe.
"The Huan Shang Dan won't do me any good, so if you don't want to lose too badly, you'd better use the Jin Guang Curse now... Besides, I have a question for you."
"What question?"
Hearing this, Zhi Wei's expression became more serious immediately. He then followed Wu Xian's question and asked.
"Zhang Zhi Wei... have you ever lost?"
As the last "ma" fell, Zhi Wei felt his vision blur, as if the world suddenly became darker.
By the time he recovered, a large hand had already magnified infinitely in his field of vision, moving at an incredible speed that left him no time but to unleash the golden light from his body, then...
