Chapter 22: The Eye Technique - A Shocking Statement, Lu Qing's Incomparable Power with Two Men...

With a startling remark, Lu Qing laughed heartily despite the incredibly complex gazes of the two men.

"You!" Yu Jitang pointed at her repeatedly with his hand, both angry and amused.

Wu Chen pulled her behind him, shielding her in front of him. "How is it?"

Yu Jitang scoffed, "Forget it." He glanced at Wu Chen's unusually relaxed and carefree expression, and a thought flashed through his mind. He was somewhat gloating and blurted out, "Wu Chen, you're going to have a hard time later."

Wu Chen smiled and thought to himself: I'm willing, what's it to you?

Standing behind Wu Chen, Lu Qing watched the two divine servants face to face, gazing at each other with deep affection and smiling. She truly felt that the scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. The drunken stewards were helped out by their disciples. Those who were completely unconscious were relatively easy to carry away. But a few were still able to run and talk; their minds were completely clouded by alcohol, and they were totally letting loose. Two of them ran up to Wu Chen, reeking of alcohol, and mumbled, "Lord Wu, Wu Shen Shi... you're so young, your future is limitless..."

Lu Qing barely understood what that meant, and looked at the two stewards in front of her who, even when drunk, couldn't resist flattering her. Lu Qing covered her mouth, unable to contain her laughter.

The disciples blushed and tried to pull the person back, but dared not use force. The two managers, feeling someone pulling them, struggled violently, stomping their feet and looking quite comical.

Tie Xiao seemed to have sobered up a bit somewhere, and was now somewhat more awake. He was helped up from behind, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, they really drank too much. What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and take them home to rest."

Only then did the disciples dare to use force. When two people couldn't hold them down, three people came and finally dragged away the two who were standing in front of Wu Chen and Yu Jitang.

This made the manpower shortage even more severe. Not only was the one who was completely drunk left behind, but even Tie Xiao was left without anyone to take care of him.

Wu Chen stepped forward. "Master, shall we take you back?"

Although Tie Xiao was somewhat conscious, he had indeed drunk too much. His feet felt like they were walking on clouds, and he had no idea whether the next step was deep or shallow. He could barely walk at this moment, but it was absolutely impossible for him to carry another person.

Lu Qing then spoke up, "Master, why don't you go back and rest first? We can enjoy the moon here and keep an eye on this steward while we wait for the disciples to return before we leave."

Tie Xiao was about to refuse when he suddenly smelled the stench of alcohol, his chest heaved, and he was about to vomit. At that moment, he still remembered he couldn't lose his composure in front of Wu Chen and Yu Jitang, so he hastily nodded, covered his mouth, and quickly left.

Lu Qing watched the serpentine path he had walked, covering her mouth and nose tightly, afraid that laughing out loud would upset Tie Xiao.

After everyone had left, Wu Chen walked up to the completely drunk steward, took a porcelain bottle from his pouch, opened it, and waved it near the steward's nose. After a few breaths, the man actually opened his eyes, still dazed.

Wu Chen stared intently into his eyes and slowly said, "Although the Master has agreed to accompany us to visit Wanlian Peak, we are not in a hurry. Why do you insist on accompanying us there in the middle of the night?"

The man looked like he didn't understand.

Wu Chen stared at him and repeated what he had just said. As soon as he finished speaking, the man spoke weakly, "I'll accompany you to visit Ten Thousand Refinement Peak. Come, I'll accompany you to visit Ten Thousand Refinement Peak."

Wu Chen pulled him up, and the man stood up unsteadily and walked towards the top of Wanlian Peak.

Lu Qing stared at the scene in surprise and whispered to Yu Jitang, "What's going on?"

Yu Jitang gave her a look of disdain, saying, "This is the pupil technique of our Divine Palace. This guy likes to study those strange things when he has nothing to do."

That statement was actually a bit emotional and not entirely fair.

Pupil techniques are one of the secret arts of the Divine Palace, including the Clarity Technique that Wu Shen once used on the summit of Tan Family Village. Pupil techniques require the practitioner to be extremely powerful, possessing not only sufficient spiritual energy but also extraordinary willpower and concentration.

Yu Jitang had also practiced pupil techniques, but his impulsive and restless nature made it impossible for him to settle down and cultivate these time-consuming skills. Therefore, his efforts were immense, with very little progress. This is why he was unwilling to use the Clarity Technique atop Tan Family Village.

Lu Qing quickly ran to Wu Chen's side, "This looks fun, can I learn it?"

Wu Chen just smiled and didn't say anything.

Lu Qing quickly grabbed his sleeve and shook it, "Is it okay? Is it okay?"

Wu Chen sighed, "This is a secret technique of the Divine Palace; only people from the Divine Palace can learn it."

"Ah, how can I become a member of the Divine Palace?" Lu Qing refused to give up.

Wu Chen's gaze fell on her face, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly...

Yu Jitang was all too familiar with Wu Chen's tactics. He always smiled like that when he tricked him. This time, he absolutely couldn't let him succeed. Yu Jitang quickly stepped in to interject, "If you want to become a member of the Divine Palace, you don't necessarily have to marry him. Alternatively, you can become my disciple, and then you'll be a member of the Divine Palace."

Wu Chen raised an eyebrow. "Why are you still here?"

Yu Jitang sneered, "I'm just helping out because I saw injustice, so you won't harm innocent people again."

Indeed, under the flowers and moon, these two are the true protagonists of their romance. Lu Qing, who was standing to the side with a lantern, sighed with great emotion, "If you don't catch up soon, that steward will have to go up to the top of Ten Thousand Refinements Peak all by himself."

Wu Chen then put his hand on Lu Qing's shoulder again and followed.

Lu Qing was very curious about the reactions of those who had been affected by the pupil technique. She followed behind the steward and kept talking to him.

"Hey, can you hear me when I talk to you?"

"Okay, I'll go with you to Wanlian Peak."

What is your name?

"My name is Tie Zhe."

Do you usually forge iron on Wanlian Peak?

"Yes. I'll go with you."

He muttered to himself and staggered along. They were almost at the guard post when Lu Qing rushed forward and called out, "Why don't we just forget about it and go back? Even though the master said we could visit, we can do it tomorrow. You should go back and rest."

Hearing the commotion, the guarding disciple rushed out, "Who is it? Uncle-Master, what are you doing...?"

Lu Qing smiled and said, "It's like this, this steward got drunk. Originally, the manor lord said he would accompany us to visit Wanlian Peak, but this guy insisted on coming with us. The other disciples sent the manor lord and the other stewards back to rest, leaving him alone. We were worried about him wandering around, so we had no choice but to come along."

Tie Zhe ignored the disciple and said, "Let's go, all of you. The Master said he would accompany you to visit Wanlian Peak, so it's the same if I go with you."

Wu Chen stepped forward to support him and said to the disciple, "It's hard to refuse such kindness. Otherwise, we can stay with Iron Palm Master to sober up. Your other fellow disciples should be here soon. Then they should be able to take him away."

The disciple guarding the place tried to stop Tie Zhe, but Tie Zhe swung his arm and knocked him down.

Wu Chen asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Tie Zhe glared at the disciple, "It was the Master who said it, do you dare to stop him?"

Yu Jitang nodded, "That's exactly what your manor lord said. It's alright, just consider it as us enjoying the night view. When your senior brothers arrive, tell them to come up and pick us up quickly."

He couldn't win against either side, so the disciple said helplessly, "Then please take your time."

Lu Qing walked beside Tie Zhe with a smile, carrying a lantern. "Master Tie, oh dear, slow down, slow down. We're not in a hurry, tonight or tomorrow is fine."

The four of them walked along the mountain path for a long time. Lu Qing looked back and saw that there was no one in front or behind her. She smiled and asked, "Iron Palm Master, the gong sounded today, has something serious happened?"

Tie Zhe suddenly trembled, "What to do? It's gone, it's almost gone, it's really gone... That's useless, useless..."

"What's gone?" Lu Qing didn't understand.

Tie Zhe turned and glanced at her. "You, you, you'd better leave now, or it'll be too late. Hurry, hurry up and leave..."

Lu Qing was dumbfounded.

Tie Zhe didn't know who he had mistaken her for, and tears streamed down his face. "What a tragedy, what a tragedy, go quickly..."

Wu Chen immediately stepped forward. No, Tie Zhe was emotional and had already broken free from the effects of the pupil technique; he was truly speaking the truth while drunk. Wu Chen didn't want to let this rare opportunity slip by. "It's too late. She's already been taken to Wanlian Peak and can't leave."

Tie Zhe stared at Lu Qing in horror, ignoring everyone else. He suddenly grabbed Lu Qing's hand, "Come on, come with me, I'll take you away."

Wu Chen nodded to Lu Qing and waved his hand to extinguish the lantern.

Tie Zhe stumbled along ahead. He had walked this mountain path for decades; even when drunk, he knew it by heart. But when he reached a bend, even though the path was clearly on the left and there was no path on the right, with a sheer cliff just a few steps away, Tie Zhe still walked forward.

Lu Qing was so frightened her heart almost jumped out of her chest. At that moment, Wu Chen suddenly grabbed her right hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Lu Qing only had time to grab his large hand tightly.

But just then, Tie Zhe pressed down on the cliff face, and the cliff actually shifted to the side, revealing a gap large enough for a person to pass through...
