Liu Zhengfeng had long heard of Wang Yang's reputation.

I never expected to meet you at this time.

"I have long heard of Alliance Leader Wang's name. Meeting him today, I am truly impressed by his imposing presence and outstanding character!"

Liu Zhengfeng looked at Wang Yang excitedly and said.

Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:

"You flatter me!"

Subsequently, Liu Zhengfeng took the initiative to invite Wang Yang and others to visit the Liu family in Hengshan City.

Seeing Liu Zhengfeng's enthusiasm, Wang Yang did not refuse.

In less than half an hour, the group arrived at the Liu family's residence in Hengshan City.

Although it was late at night, many servants were still busy inside the Liu family mansion, decorating with lanterns and colorful streamers, as if something good was about to happen.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wang Yang was filled with surprise and doubt, and muttered to himself:

"Could it be that Liu Zhengfeng is about to retire from his criminal activities?"

Upon realizing this, Wang Yang quickly looked at Liu Zhengfeng and asked:

"Master Liu, is there some joyous occasion in your household?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengfeng smiled and, without hiding anything, replied:

"Not long ago, Liu invited many friends from the underworld to come and witness my retirement from the criminal world tomorrow."

"The fighting, killing, and deceit in the martial arts world have left me physically and mentally exhausted."

"Nothing compares to the joy of indulging in the zither and flute with Brother Qu."

As he said this, Liu Zhengfeng glanced at Qu Yang, who was standing to the side.

Qu Yang smiled slightly but didn't reply, though a hint of worry appeared in his expression.

Although the Sun Moon Cult had already joined the Martial Arts Alliance before this.

However, many people in the martial arts world still regard the Sun Moon Sect as a demonic sect.

As for Liu Zhengfeng, who comes from the prestigious Hengshan Sect, he spends his days mingling with this "demonic sect" member, which naturally makes many people feel disgusted.

In Qu Yang's view, tomorrow's "washing hands of the family" ceremony might not go so smoothly.

It was precisely because of these thoughts that Qu Yang felt so worried.

After hearing what Liu Zhengfeng said, Wang Yang smiled and nodded.

In the original story, Liu Zhengfeng held a ceremony to wash his hands of his past life and received an imperial decree from the court, becoming a military officer.

However, he was subsequently obstructed by Zuo Lengchan, and one after another, disciples of the Songshan Sect came to his door to prevent him from retiring from martial arts.

Finally, he was injured by the palm strikes of Ding Mian and Lu Bai, two of the Thirteen Protectors, and died along with Qu Yang by severing their own meridians.

However, Zuo Lengchan had already been killed by Wang Yang in a battle in Tahu City.

The Thirteen Protectors of Songshan were all killed by Wang Yang in that battle.

"Without Zuo Lengchan from the Songshan Sect interfering, Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Wang Yang muttered something under his breath, then smiled and looked at Liu Zhengfeng, saying:

"What a perfect opportunity! We can just join in the fun and serve as witnesses to Patriarch Liu's decision to retire gracefully!"

Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Liu Zhengfeng burst into hearty laughter:

"Hahaha!"

"It is my honor, Liu, to have Alliance Leader Wang and others as witnesses."

"Please come in, everyone!"

Next, Wang Yang and the others entered the banquet hall under the guidance of Liu Zhengfeng.

After eating and drinking, they all went back to their rooms to rest.

Wang Yang, naturally, only lay down on the bed after being served by Zhao Min and others.

"Um?"

However, Wang Yang suddenly opened his eyes shortly after lying down.

With his strength, he easily noticed that someone had just flown past the window.

Then, Wang Yang rolled out of bed, and in the process, a long robe was already on his body.

When I looked again, I saw a white figure had already broken through the window.

Soon, Wang Yang caught up with the person who had previously flown past the window.

At this moment, the man was sitting on the roof of the Liu family mansion, holding a wine pot in his hand, drinking under the moon, looking both heroic and charming.

Who else could it be but Dongfang Bubai?

"Miss Dongfang?"

Upon seeing that it was Dongfang Bubai, Wang Yang exclaimed in surprise.

Dongfang Bubai smiled at him, and with a flick of his wrist, the wine gourd in his hand flew straight down towards Wang Yang.

Wang Yang reached out and firmly grasped the wine gourd in his hand.

Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai smiled and said:

"Alliance Leader Wang, would you like to have another drink with me?"

Wang Yang smiled calmly and said:

"how?"

"Didn't Miss Dongfang get to enjoy the banquet the Liu family hosted earlier?"

As he spoke, Wang Yang lightly touched the ground with his feet and floated down to Dongfang Bubai's side.

"Are you going to drink it or not? If not, give it back to me!"

Dongfang Bubai did not answer Wang Yang, but instead said this.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang smiled slightly, then picked up Dongfang Bubai's wine gourd and took a big gulp before handing the gourd back to Dongfang Bubai.

After taking the gourd of wine, Dongfang Bubai also took a sip.

As he drank, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but sigh:

"Heroes of the world emerge from our generation, but once we enter the world of martial arts, time flies by. Grand ambitions and great achievements are discussed in jest, and nothing beats a life of carefree revelry!"

"Sword in hand, mounted on horseback, unleashing a storm of ghosts; white bones piled high, birds startled into flight. The mortal world surges like a tide, people flow like water; alas, how many return from the martial world?"

Seeing Dongfang Bubai sigh like this, Wang Yang was taken aback and asked:

"Is Miss Dongfang expressing such sentiments because she sees the Liu family head retiring from the criminal world?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced back at Wang Yang and smiled tenderly:

"Alliance Leader Wang, what do you think this martial arts world is?"

Upon hearing Dongfang Bubai's question, Wang Yang smiled calmly and replied:

"Wherever there are people, there will be grudges; wherever there are grudges, there will be a jianghu (martial arts world); people are the jianghu."

...

Next, Wang Yang and Dongfang Bubai drank and chatted on the rooftop.

Before we knew it, the night had deepened.

At this moment, Dongfang Bubai, whether drunk or not, fell asleep with his head on Wang Yang's shoulder.

"Miss Dongfang?"

Wang Yang called out softly.

But Dongfang Bubai did not respond at all.

Wang Yang smiled helplessly, and in a casual glance, he saw Dongfang Bubai's beautiful face as she slept peacefully.

Like a fairy under the moonlight, serene and gentle, every breath seemed to exude a faint fragrance.

"call!"

After letting out a long sigh, Wang Yang carefully picked up Dongfang Bubai and floated down from the rooftop.

Before long, Wang Yang had escorted Dongfang Bubai to his room.

Wang Yang didn't linger and got up to leave.

After Wang Yang left, Dongfang Bubai, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes.

Her face was flushed, whether from embarrassment or wine, a deep blush spread across it.

In fact, she had been lucid the whole time. Just now, when Wang Yang was about to leave, she even tried to grab him.

But in the end, he didn't dare to take that step.

"What...what's wrong with me?"

"Isn't that so embarrassing?"

As he pondered this, Dongfang Bubai shook his head and felt a deep sense of shame.

Meanwhile, Wang Yangren had already returned to his room.

After lying down, he smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "She's clearly awake, but pretending to be asleep. Could it be that she's planning to have me take advantage of her?"

"call!"

Then, Wang Yang took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and closed his eyes to fall asleep.
