Shilong Martial Arts Arena.
"The school is closed today and we are not accepting any students. Please leave."
Shi Long sat cross-legged, his back to the crowd, and spoke in a cold voice.
"Master Shi, it's alright if you don't want to take on disciples. I'd like to learn a martial art and ask for your guidance."
"Master Shi, may I ask how to comprehend the Longevity Manual?"
"I never imagined that Master Shi had been hiding his true abilities for so many years, only revealing them today."
"..."
Many martial arts figures looked at Shi Long with smiles, their gazes either mocking or sarcastic.
Shi Long did not react at all; however, he released his mid-stage Grandmaster aura, which shocked everyone and made them dare not make any rash moves.
Just as they hesitated, a group of soldiers surrounded them.
"Everyone disperse, or you will be killed on sight!"
The leader spoke loudly.
"These mere soldiers dare to order people around like this!"
Some people scoff at it.
Yes.
The next moment.
A crossbow bolt pierced the man's forehead.
"It's a crossbow! These aren't ordinary soldiers!"
Everyone was startled and assumed a defensive stance.
"I am Yuwen Huaji. Could you all please give me some face?"
A young man stepped forward with a smile and scanned the crowd.
"It's actually the warlord Yuwen!"
"Even warlords have come; it's really hard for us江湖人 (jianghu people) to have a chance."
"What bad luck! What a terrible thing, what a wasted trip."
The group muttered curses under their breath, but quickly cooperated and left.
My life is more important!
Yuwen Huaji smiled as he watched Shi Long's retreating figure. "Master Shi, I intend to invite you to take up an official post, perhaps as the military commander of Yangzhou City. What do you think?"
"You just want the secret to immortality, why waste so much breath?"
Shi Long showed him no respect whatsoever, exposing his lie in a single sentence.
Yuwen Huaji shrugged: "May I borrow the Longevity Manual from Master Shi?"
"Fight me, and if you win, you can take the Longevity Manual; if you lose, you die!"
Shi Long stood up, turned around and looked at Yuwen Huaji.
However, Yuwen Huaji smiled but did not step forward; instead, he waved.
The officers and soldiers all took out their crossbows and aimed them at the stone dragon.
Shi Long frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid I'll tear up the Longevity Mantra?"
"What a joke! The Longevity Formula has been passed down for thousands of years, how could it be torn up so easily?"
Yuwen Huaji sneered and waved his hand.
The divine crossbows fired in unison.
Countless crossbow bolts hurtled toward the stone dragon.
Shi Long dared not be careless. He drew his soft sword from his waist, drew a circle, and blocked all the crossbow bolts before retreating rapidly.
"Don't run!"
Yuwen Huaji gave chase.
The two chased and fled, and soon they were out of the city.
At that moment, a beautiful figure rushed out, patted the stone dragon, and then disappeared.
"The Secret to Immortality!"
Stone Dragon was shocked and enraged.
Yuwen Huaji was also furious. He temporarily let Shi Long go and chased after the woman.
The woman gave a sinister smile, her figure gliding away like a ghost, and vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.
As the woman reached the riverbank and was about to rest, she suddenly heard applause.
"What superb lightness skill! No wonder you are a disciple of Master Yi Jian Fu Cailin. Your lightness skill and swordsmanship are both superb."
Who are you?
The woman was startled and stared at the newcomer.
"I am but a humble scholar who happened to stumble upon a good show."
Murong Fu seemed to shrink the distance between them, taking a single step and appearing in front of the woman.
The woman's pupils constricted slightly; with such lightness of foot, escape was impossible, and she could only outsmart her.
Murong Fu asked, "What's your name?"
The woman retorted, "Don't you know I'm Fu Cailin's apprentice? How come you don't know my name?"
Murong Fu chuckled and said, "Never mind, I'll just call you Nameless."
Fu Junzhuo's lips twitched as she said, "...My name is Fu Junzhuo!"
Murong Fu asked calmly, "Nameless, do you really want the secret to immortality?"
But then they saw Murong Fu holding a book of illustrations, examining it closely; it was the Longevity Manual.
Fu Junzhuo was taken aback. She touched her pocket and found that the Longevity Manual was gone.
"when……"
"The moment you took the Longevity Manual, it came into my hands. Thank you."
Murong Fu replied.
Fu Junzhuo frowned at Murong Fu and stretched out her delicate hand: "You stole my things, give them back!"
Murong Fu also reached out and clasped her hand, then casually put his arm around her, clicking his tongue in amazement:
"I never imagined that Goguryeo was not only famous for its ginseng, but also for its beautiful women. I've taken a liking to you. From now on, you'll stay by my side as my maid. What do you say?"
As he spoke, Murong Fu's large hand had already climbed up to Liu's waist.
"You! You brat! How dare you treat me so disrespectfully!"
Fu Junzhuo had never been so humiliated. Her face turned red, and she shouted angrily.
“A maid should follow the rules of a maid. It is really inappropriate to shout like this.”
Murong Fu said with a faint smile.
Riding the wind!
It instantly absorbed Fu Junzhuo's internal energy.
"My internal energy!"
Fu Junzhuo slumped down, her whole body went limp, and she couldn't believe that she had finally managed to cultivate to the early stage of Grandmaster, only to have it all vanish in an instant.
Murong Fu said calmly, "I will return my inner strength to you when you become obedient."
Although Fu Junzhuo hated Murong Fu to the extreme, she could only endure the humiliation at this moment.
"So this is where it was!"
At this moment, Yuwen Huaji arrived and looked at them coldly.
"So noisy!"
Murong Fu spoke calmly, and the primordial energy of heaven and earth condensed into an invisible hand, slapping Yuwen Huaji's face.
Snap!
Yuwen Huaji screamed and fell to the ground, his cheeks swelling rapidly, his five fingers turning as red as ink.
"Senior, spare my life!"
Yuwen Huaji was terrified and immediately knelt down.
What incredible luck! To actually encounter a Grandmaster!
Isn't it said that grandmasters are elusive and rarely seen?
In Suizhou, the only publicly known grandmaster is Ning Daoqi; the others rarely appear and are unknown to the public.
I never expected to encounter a reclusive grandmaster today!
