A first-rate sect!
Lu Ming was surprisingly promised a joint recommendation by four officials to enter a top-tier sect.
This almost certainly means that Lu Ming will be able to enter a top-tier sect.
Liu Yiyi's feelings became extremely complicated.
Li Youning once did her father a great favor, hoping he would marry her off to Lu Ming.
She, however, said that Lu Ming's unwillingness to marry into the family was due to his arrogance. At the time, she believed that Lu Ming might not be able to join a third-rate sect.
Now, recalling those words and looking at Lu Ming being fawned over by everyone, Liu Yiyi sighed deeply, overwhelmed with regret.
So it was her who was arrogant and haughty.
Seeing Lu Ming and Feng Qingzhu standing together, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, a perfect match, she thought of the scene in the Bitter Bamboo Creek where Lu Ming carried her and saved her, and her heart ached terribly.
Originally, she should have been the one standing next to Lu Ming.
Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning her head, she saw Liu Feilong.
"Learn from your mistakes! At least you participated in the Genius Bait Project, survived, and have a chance to enter a third-rate sect," Liu Feilong said.
Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and forced a smile. Yes, her original goal was only a third-rate sect.
Wei Jinlin took Zhou Zhen's body away and left with the three judges.
The group led by Zhao Tianhao, seeing Zhou Zhen's downfall, also showed joy and quickly left.
Previously, Zhou Zhen stirred up trouble in the city, and they were forced to concede some benefits. Now, it's time to take them back.
The Chen and Shen families, who were originally on Zhouzhen's side, were filled with anxiety, wondering if they would suffer an unbearable reckoning.
The Green Bamboo Gang was originally a force they wanted to win over, but now that this has happened, no one wants to talk to Feng Buping, and they all leave with cold faces.
Shen Changfeng, without anyone knowing when, had already fled in a disheveled state.
Soon, only Feng Buping remained in the lobby.
The hall was filled with distinguished guests, who were attending his daughter's engagement banquet. It was supposed to be the most glorious moment in the history of the Green Bamboo Gang.
The empty silence now made him feel uneasy.
"A first-rate sect—" Feng Buping's mind was still echoing with Wei Jinlin's words. Thinking of Lu Ming's outstanding talent and his brilliance, waves of regret surged in his heart.
What on earth is he doing?!
He had pushed away a once-in-a-century opportunity with his own hands. He would never be able to break through to the Tempering Realm in this lifetime.
Fortunately, the engagement ultimately did not materialize.
Since Zhou Zhen died before his engagement, the Green Bamboo Gang should not be implicated too much.
From this perspective, he should actually thank Lu Ming. It was Lu Ming who ruined this marriage alliance.
Feng Buping stood blankly in the lobby until the sun set and night fell, and in the darkness, he let out a sigh.
"Junior Brother Lu—thank you for today."
In the Martial Arts Division, in the open space in front of the grove behind the small courtyard, Feng Qingzhu, her body somewhat stiff, spoke to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "You're welcome. We're friends, so it's only right. But now, shouldn't you call me Senior Brother Lu?"
Feng Qingzhu was taken aback, then bit her lip slightly and called out, "Senior Brother Lu."
-
Lu Ming nodded in satisfaction, secretly pleased with himself. Feng Qingzhu used to be quite aloof and arrogant, but after seeing him display his prowess today, her gaze towards him has changed.
Their attitude towards him also underwent a subtle change.
If I had known this would happen, I should have spoken to him sooner. Instead, I was too stubborn and ended up in a dangerous situation.
Lu Ming snorted inwardly.
Feng Qingzhu looked away, seemingly at a loss for what to do.
After a long silence, she finally said, "I'll give you the portion of demon meat I left with you as a thank you gift for today."
""
Lu Ming was slightly surprised: "The demon flesh is very important to you, isn't it?"
"With your talent, if you have the help of demon flesh, you have a high chance of breaking through to the Tendon Refining cultivation level before the big exam."
"I already have four portions of demon meat. You should keep this portion for yourself."
Feng Qingzhu shook her head and said, "I said I'd give it to you, so I'll give it to you."
Her tone was resolute, as if she didn't want to owe Lu Ming anything.
It seems she still hasn't opened her heart.
Lu Ming shook his head slightly and could only agree, thinking to himself, "Take it if you want. A piece of demon meat is quite valuable, and I'm not the one who'll suffer a loss anyway."
After a moment of silence, Feng Qingzhu took her leave.
Lu Ming nodded and turned to leave.
Suddenly, Feng Qingzhu stopped, turned around, and asked with a slight pursing of her lips, "You're still telling stories here tomorrow—is that right?"
Her eyes flickered as she stared at Lu Ming, a hint of unease in her gaze.
Lu Ming was taken aback, sensing Feng Qingzhu's anxiety and suddenly realized that due to her unusual background since childhood, Feng Qingzhu seemed to not know how good friends should get along.
Or rather, she longed for close friends, yet worried that such relationships might break down at any moment, filled with insecurity.
Her expression remained rather indifferent, and her clear eyes and fair face concealed untold secrets.
Anyone else would definitely think she's the same as before.
Only Lu Ming, having spent a lot of time with Feng Qingzhu recently, could vaguely discern her inner thoughts.
He immediately replied, "Of course not."
Feng Qingzhu's face stiffened, a hint of disappointment flashing across her face. "Oh."
She turned around, quickened her pace, as if she wanted to escape from here.
"Of course not here."
Suddenly, Lu Ming's words made her stop again.
With some doubt and a hint of expectation, I turned to look.
Lu Ming smiled slightly, pointed to the few shadowy figures in the woods not far away, and the many young faces that appeared and disappeared on the wall of the small courtyard in another direction, and said, "Our reputation is different now than before. I can't stand it if so many people are secretly watching me when I'm telling stories."
Feng Qingzhu then understood what Lu Ming meant.
However, Lu Ming stopped there, and Feng Qingzhu couldn't help but ask, "So?"
Lu Ming chuckled and said, "So, let's start talking in my yard tomorrow. Or you can come to my place too."
Feng Qingzhu immediately nodded, "Okay."
She turned around, a hint of joy appearing in her eyes, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a hint of excitement.
"However, you'd better prepare a thank-you gift. Our sparring isn't very effective now, so you can't use this to make up for it, understand?"
'
Lu Ming's sudden words made her turn around and stare at him blankly. "A thank-you gift?"
Lu Ming nodded seriously: "I said I wanted a thank-you gift, so I will."
Feng Qingzhu was taken aback again upon hearing this. Why did these words sound so familiar?
Soon, she remembered that she had insisted on giving Lu Ming the demon meat and said, "I said I'd give it to you, so I will."
She immediately realized that Lu Ming was mocking her.
Seeing Lu Ming's handsome and smiling expression, she felt a strange feeling she had never experienced before. Her face flushed, making her look beautiful and charming. She glared at Lu Ming slightly and said with pursed lips, "Alright, Junior Brother Lu—Senior Brother Lu, just you wait."
After saying that, she turned around and quickened her pace to leave.
Lu Ming laughed heartily, recalling the changes in Feng Qingzhu's expression just now, and thought to himself, "Quite interesting!"
He glanced around, and the disciples who had been spying quickly hid, making him shake his head. He really couldn't come to this place again.
Fame can bring more troubles!
Lu Ming sighed softly and quickly left, returning to his own courtyard.
Seeing that it was still early, he quickly prepared himself, ate a Mind-Enlightenment Pill, ate a piece of demon meat, and began to cultivate.

After nearly four hours of practice, Lu Ming was overjoyed to see that his leg technique experience had finally reached 10,000. He immediately stopped practicing, stood up, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He couldn't wait to look at the supernatural power panel inside his body.
Sure enough, several messages appeared on the supernatural power panel.
The third leg technique has been fully evolved!
