Sword from Songshan

Chapter 59 Peeping in the Dark
"Uncle Lu, what do you think of the move I just made?"

In the martial arts training ground, Lin Pingzhi stopped and looked at Lu Nanxing with expectant eyes.

"It's okay."

Lu Nanxing came back to his senses and responded casually.

"Great!"

"It's okay" was considered a great recognition by Lin Pingzhi. He cheered excitedly and ran over.

"Uncle Lu, if I want to develop your finger strength, how long will it take?"

"At least ten years."

"ten years!"

Upon hearing this answer, Lin Pingzhi, who had been full of joy just now, was stunned for a moment.

But then he came to his senses, frowned and looked determined.

"As long as I can reach Uncle Lu's level of skills, ten years is fine!"

"Actually... your family's inherited Sky-Flipping Palm is no worse than the Eagle Claw Hand. There's no need to suffer this."

Seeing that Lin Pingzhi was determined to stick to his own path, Lu Nanxing couldn't help but persuade him again.

A few days ago, Lin Pingzhi was defeated by Lu Nanxing and realized that there is always someone better than you.

I have to say that Lin Pingzhi is indeed a good boy who corrects his mistakes as soon as he realizes them.

After calming down, he put away all his arrogance and apologized to Lu Nanxing. He was always respectful from then on and even addressed him as Uncle Lu.

Although Lu Nanxing is two years younger than Lin Pingzhi, he and Lin Zhennan are on equal terms, so it is reasonable for Lin Pingzhi to call him "uncle".

However, Lu Nanxing felt a little awkward.

If it was just awkward, it would be fine, but what he didn't expect was that from then on, Lin Pingzhi followed him like a follower.

He couldn't bear it anymore and asked, only to find out that he wanted Lu Nanxing to teach him martial arts.

This was not a big deal, as the Songshan School's martial arts could not be taught privately, but there was no such barrier for the Eagle Claw Grabbing Technique. Lu Nanxing had nothing to do anyway, and he felt a little embarrassed to eat for free at the Lin family every day, so he simply taught this set of claw techniques to Lin Pingzhi.

I originally thought that Lin Pingzhi was just in a whim, but I didn't expect him to be so hardworking and practice diligently every day.

"It's getting late. Let's practice tomorrow."

As night fell, lights were already on in every part of the Fuwei Escort Agency, and Lu Nanxing spoke.

"Uncle Lu, go back and rest first. I'll practice some more."

Lin Pingzhi wiped the sweat from his forehead, returned to the martial arts training ground, let out a breath, and continued practicing.

It was perhaps just a momentary enthusiasm of the young man. Lu Nanxing said nothing more and turned to leave.

It was still early to go to bed and there was nothing to do, so Lu Nanxing simply walked around the escort agency.

"Ok?"

When passing the west wall of the courtyard, his feet paused slightly. He caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and saw two dark shadows lying on the top of the wall!

Lu Nanxing remained calm and continued to wander around, turning around and observing out of the corner of his eye.

That’s right, there were two people lying there.

The distance was quite far and it was dark, so the two thought that Lu Nanxing had not discovered them, so they remained lying there and did not leave.

Little did people know that with twenty years of experience, Lu Nanxing's senses were far sharper than those of ordinary people.

"come yet."

The two of them were acting sneakily and obviously had bad intentions, but Lu Nanxing not only didn't mind, he was actually happy about it.

Finally the wait is over.

Then he turned and left, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Similarly, Lin Zhennan was not informed or reminded about this matter.

In the next few days, after dinner, Lu Nanxing would walk around the escort agency, and almost every night he would see the two of them snooping around, as if they were scouting the area.

At this time, Lu Nanxing was already certain that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Then, all we have to do next is wait and see how things develop.

"what?"

But that night, Lu Nanxing suddenly discovered that in addition to the two "acquaintances" before, there were two more unfamiliar faces.

One male and one female.

The important thing is that these four people are not together. It seems that the two who come later are spying on the two who come earlier.

The mantis stalks the cicada but the oriole follows behind?

Lu Nanxing frowned slightly. Why did two more people appear out of nowhere?

If any complications arise, it might ruin his plan!
"I want to see which hero it is!"

Late at night, after the man and woman left, Lu Nanxing quietly followed them.

Judging from their leg strength, they have some skills, at least better than the two in front, but they are only second-rate.

With Lu Nanxing's skills, it was not difficult to keep up with them without being discovered.

In this way, they followed from the West City all the way to the South City, and finally they entered a small courtyard.

Lu Nanxing stood outside the yard, looked around, then took a deep breath and jumped in.

The yard was not big, with only three or four rooms, and it looked like an ordinary family. The other rooms were dark, but there was only one room with a light reflected from the window.

Lu Nanxing walked lightly and quietly moved to the bottom of the window. He did not dare to poke a hole to look inside, but just listened with his ear tilted.

"Second Senior Brother, Daddy said that this Exorcist Sword Technique is so powerful, but we have been watching it for the past few days, but we can't see anything mysterious about it."

It was the woman's voice, clear and pleasant, with a hint of coquettishness, and she didn't sound very old.

"Master, of course, would not be wrong. It must be that the descendants of the Lin family have failed to learn the essence of the Exorcism Sword Technique."

This time it was a man's voice, and he sounded a little old.

"But this is none of our business. Master asked us to go down the mountain this time to just keep an eye on the Qingcheng Sect."

"That's right, Senior Brother said that the people of Qingcheng Sect are arrogant and domineering. They are coming in full force this time. They must be planning something bad!"

"Humph, what else could it be? It's nothing more than the Exorcism Sword Technique."

"They will be disappointed. Not to mention compared to our Huashan swordsmanship, even compared to their Qingcheng swordsmanship, this Exorcism Swordsmanship is probably far inferior."

Huashan faction!
Hearing this, Lu Nanxing's face changed.

At the beginning of the original novel, the Qingcheng Sect wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency, but the Huashan Sect also got involved.

But based on the time calculation, that will not happen until next spring.

The reason why the Qingcheng Sect arrived in Fuzhou half a year in advance was because Lu Nanxing deliberately "invited" them.

But how come the Huashan Sect arrived early?
In the original novel, the reason why the Zhonghua Sect got involved was because Linghu Chong had a conflict with the Four Qingcheng Scholars. Lao Denuo went to the Qingcheng Sect to deliver a letter to apologize and saw them secretly practicing the Exorcism Sword Technique.

Yue Buqun became alert, so he sent him and Yue Lingshan to Fuzhou to monitor the movements of the Qingcheng Sect.

It is clearly stated in the original novel that the conflict between Linghu Chong and the Four Beauties of Qingcheng would occur at the end of the year, and it is not yet that time now.

In this case, how did the Huashan Sect know about the Qingcheng Sect's movements and follow them?

Moreover, from what I heard, it was Yue Lingshan and Lao Denuo.

Confused, Lu Nanxing listened for a while but didn't get any useful information. It was getting late and Yue Lingshan was going back to her room to sleep, so Lu Nanxing hurriedly left.

"Huashan Sect..."

On the way back to Fuwei Escort Agency, Lu Nanxing had a gloomy expression. If the plot was the same as in the original novel, and the Huashan Sect just watched and did not take action, then it would be fine.

If anyone dares to meddle in other people's business, Lu Nanxing doesn't mind dealing with them first!
