Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 365: Lu Hua meets the old monk, and together they kill the second master? Su Jing?
Lu Hua was the only one left in a private room of Qimochunfang.

She leaned against the window, holding her chin and looking down at the feast of beauties below.

The Banquet of Flowers was set up on the bridge across the water control area. People from both sides of the river stopped to watch, creating a very lively atmosphere.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the sparkling water. The men on the flower boats beat drums to add to the fun, and the singers sang melodiously, bringing the festive atmosphere to a climax.

Cheers came from both sides of the strait, and the scene became more and more lively.

At this time, ten courtesans had already come on stage to perform, but Lu Hua seemed to be uninterested.

She yawned lightly and looked beyond the bustling banquet until she saw that three of the opening poems were written by Xie Guan. Only then did a hint of interest appear in her eyes.

"This is Xie Guan too. It's not like him to be so prominent today."

"Forget it, never mind him. We will leave Bianjing after today."

"I don't know if I will see Xie Guan before I leave."

"It's better to meet him, otherwise he will say that I am the Heavenly Master of the Three True Church. It's really embarrassing for me to leave without saying goodbye."

She had mixed feelings towards this illegitimate son of the Xie family. She was amazed at his talent in cultivation, but also felt sorry that he was not a disciple of the Three True One Sect.

She looked towards the city of Bianjing among the buildings under the moonlight.

The lights of thousands of homes reflected in the water spread out in her eyes, and she seemed to see a palace in the sky.

"The moon shines across Bianjing, and the sound of pounding clothes can be heard in every household."

She recited softly, feeling emotional.

The prosperity of Bianliang was indeed far superior to that of the capital of the Sui Dynasty, and was considered the richest city in the world.

Lu Hua suddenly thought that the dragon "Long Yi" might have been out for too long.

She couldn't help but frown with worry, could it be that something unexpected had happened?
At this moment, the banquet of beauties gathered many powerful warriors of the ninth realm of martial arts and people with profound spiritual cultivation, as well as people like Mr. San and Su Xiang.

But then she shook her head gently and thought to herself.

Long Yi is a lake dragon and already has a half-dragon body. Even if he encounters a strong man like Mr. San, this place is not far from controlling the waves.

Even if he is defeated, he can still escape unscathed.

not to mention!
She knew very well that this "Jiaolong" had learned a "water escape" technique from somewhere. As long as there was water within a hundred miles, whether it was a river, lake, or pool, he could move to the surface of the water in an instant and escape.

Lu Hua didn't care about the life or death of the dragon, he just killed it.

But now that Long Yi is missing, today's banquet of beauties is less likely to go ahead.

As she was thinking, her eyes suddenly focused and turned to the door.

There was a gentle knock on the carved wooden door.

Lu Hua's heart trembled. Unexpectedly, two auras appeared outside the door silently without her even noticing.

An elegant and magnetic voice came through the door: "Master Lu, how are you?"

Lu Hua's heart sank. The person who came knew her identity and was obviously well prepared.

She had no intention of meeting him. Her figure was as light as a feather, ready to float out of the window and walk away in the wind.

The other party came with ill intentions, and she was alone, so she should avoid his attack.

however!
Another kind and solemn voice sounded, carrying the inner strength of Buddhism:
"Donor Lu, it has been five years since we last saw each other in Zhongnan Mountain."

Lu Hua paused and floated back from the window.

The door of the private room was pushed open by an invisible force, and two figures walked in.

On the left is a middle-aged elegant man with a slender figure, wearing a white robe inside and a precious mink fur coat outside.

The snow-white mink collar makes the middle-aged man's face look even fairer and more handsome.

His temples were gray, and the mixed black and white hair made him look older, but his originally stern temperament was softened by his slightly curved eyebrows and slightly tired eyes.

On the right is an old monk in grey clothes and with long eyebrows, with a kind face and a dignified demeanor.

One is middle-aged, the other is an old monk, with very different temperaments. The old monk is as solemn as a Buddhist monk, while the middle-aged man is elegant, but there is a hint of evil between his eyebrows.

These two people were none other than the magician Xu Jiangxian and Master Lianchi.

Master Lianchi smiled and clasped his hands together, "Donor Lu, you really trust me."

Lu Hua looked at the two people in front of him, wondering when did the Demon Master and Master Lianchi become close friends?
She had met Master Lianchi once in Mount Zhongnan, and knew very well that this master had a noble character and took the world as his responsibility. He was a truly enlightened monk.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed.

However, when his eyes turned to the magician with a warm smile, Lu Hua felt a little wary.

This guy is someone who will do anything to achieve his goal.

Lu Hua couldn't figure out the relationship between the two for a moment, so he asked tentatively.

"Master Lianchi, why are you in Bianjing?"

Magician Xu Jiangxian chuckled, "Why did Master Lu come here? That's why we came here too."

Lu Hua raised his eyebrows slightly, "You came here for the Master?"

Xu Jiangxian did not answer directly, but smiled even more: "Master Lu came to Bianjing, I guess he was invited by Xie Hong, right? Is he here for Mr. Er?"

Lu Hua curled his lips, fortunately the hat covered them.

She hated dealing with old-timers like the magician the most. She couldn't beat him, but he always kept his words and actions flawless.

I wondered in my heart how the magician knew all this.

Master Lianchi said calmly, "We came to the Banquet of Flowers and took the painted boat. We saw a dragon lurking under the water and drifting down the river. Unfortunately, it is difficult to intercept it in the water, and the noise is too loud."

"But the aura of this dragon is too strong, so I followed Master Xu to find it."

Xu Jiangxian took over the conversation, "I didn't expect that I would have the honor of meeting Master Lu here."

Xu Jiangxian also visited the Sanzhenyi Sect, but Lu Hua was still young at that time.

Lu Hua cursed inwardly, thinking that it would be better for me to die than for my friend to die. This dragon got into trouble outside and ended up implicating himself.

but!

Lu Hua also heard that the demon master had no ill intentions. Besides, Master Lianchi was already on good terms with the Three True Sect, so there was no need to be overly wary.

Xu Jiangxian cast his gaze towards the Yaoxian Building opposite and said calmly, "Donor Lu, you plan to join forces with Da Qi's Shenyin, Tumosi and Su Xiang after the banquet ends, pretending to surround and kill Mr. Three, but actually lure Mr. Two downstairs and kill him together, right?"

When Lu Hua saw that his plan was exposed, he did not comment. This was indeed Xie Hong's original plan.

She suddenly remembered that this magician and Mr. San were close friends.

Xu Jiangxian seemed to have guessed Lu Hua's thoughts. He walked slowly to the window, put his hands behind his back and faced the river breeze. He said calmly, "Although I am a close friend of Master An, if I can take a peek at the fifth floor of the academy and see the secret of ascension, this kind of affection will naturally be put aside for the time being."

The third gentleman's name is Anshi.

Xu Jiangxian turned around, his eyes as deep as a lake: "However, I guess Master An has already anticipated your plan and is probably waiting for you to fall into his trap."

"Of course, with Su Jing's talent, he knows it well, so he lets you act."

He paused, his tone a little amused: "Mr. Su Jing is a resourceful man, and he always has a lot of foreshadowing when playing chess. Perhaps he had expected that we would show up in Bianjing, so he set up this game."

His eyes fell on Lu Hua, and he said meaningfully: "We are just his pawns."

"Now that the chess piece has arrived, I don't know how to place it." Xu Jiangxian said with a smile.

Master Lianchi chanted in a low voice: "Amitabha."

Lu Hua understood the magician's hidden meaning and was slightly shocked.

Xu Jiangxian has already spoken, "In this case, why don't we go to the academy and see the sword of this second master, what do you think?"

"Smash this chessboard!"
