Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

On the sea, a ship is cutting through the waves.

Inside the cabin on the ship, Lü Liang, Wang Ye, and Balun sat facing each other.

"Lu, I didn't expect you to contact me at this time."

“I was a little surprised when I got Xia’s call,” Baron said with a smile, toying with the dagger in his hand. “How did you guess I was going to Nathan Island? Because I’m always interested in these new and interesting things?”

"That's only part of the reason."

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang put down the glass of wine in his hand and said with a smile:

“I not only know you’re going to Nathan Island, I also know you’re going there because of the Emerald Society’s request.”

Upon hearing this, Baron raised an eyebrow in surprise, then smiled and said:

"Haha, Lü, your information network is as good as ever."

His gaze swept over Lü Liang and Wang Ye. "But Lü and Wang, what brings you to Nathan Island?"

“Find someone.” Lü Liang picked up his glass and took a sip. “Find someone you would also be interested in.”

"Are they interesting people? I am indeed curious about these things... like you two, Lü and Wang, and that Feng Baobao."

"But after meeting you, my standards for interesting people have risen, and ordinary people can no longer arouse my curiosity."

"I guarantee you'll be interested in that person."

“Lu, now that you say that, I’m even more curious.” Baron shrugged and guessed, “Someone on Nathan Island who would definitely interest me… Lu, are you referring to King Nathan?”

“No, it’s someone you have a very close relationship with,” Lü Liang said.

"A very close relationship..."

Baron looked thoughtful, his curiosity fully piqued. He stopped twirling the dagger in his hand and looked up, waiting intently for Lü Liang to continue.

Lü Liang stopped beating around the bush and said directly:
"As far as I know, the person who saved you on the snow mountain back then and taught you the amazing skill 'Six Treasures Immortal Thief' is currently on Nasen Island."

"It turns out to be him!"

Barron's eyes widened slightly, surprise and joy appearing simultaneously in his pupils.

After a moment, he came to his senses, looked at Lü Liang, and raised his hand to praise him, "Lü, you are even more amazing than I imagined."

"You guessed right, I am indeed very interested in this person."

Lü Liang smiled and nodded. "I know his exact location. If you'd like, I can take you to see him."

"Lu, you are truly a friend worth having."

Baron happily picked up his glass and clinked it with Lü Liang's.

After gulping down half a glass of wine, he asked the question that had been lingering in his mind:

“Lu, I’m very grateful that you told me this news. But I’m curious, only he and I knew about what happened in the snow mountain back then. How do you know about this?”

Lü Liang smiled and said his most frequently used phrase, "I have my own way of doing things."

“Baron, there’s actually another matter we’ve brought up with you this time, and it’s something that’s still closely related to you.”

Upon hearing this, Baron immediately realized, "Is it about the Jia Shen Rebellion that Xia has been trying to investigate?"

Lu Liang nodded slightly.

A flicker of realization crossed Baron's eyes. He poured the remaining wine from the bottle into his glass, took a big gulp, and said:

"I've heard Xia mention your Jia Shen Rebellion and the Eight Extraordinary Skills. I was very surprised at the time. I never expected that the person I met on the snow mountain would be someone who had lived for so long, nor did I expect that the extraordinary skills he taught me would be the Eight Extraordinary Skills, which are famous throughout China..."

His gaze swept over Lü Liang and Wang Ye, and he asked, "Actually, you are also possessors of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, aren't you?"

Lü Liang and Wang did not deny it, and nodded slightly.

Lü Liang picked up his glass and took a sip: "Yes, that's another reason we came to see you this time."

“Baron, if you’re interested, I can tell you a story about your amazing skills and your benefactor.”

"Stories? I love listening to stories, hahaha."

Baron laughed heartily a few times, got up and took a bottle of vodka from the shelf behind him, filling his and Lü Liang's glasses.

Then, he paused in front of Wang Ye's cup.

"Hehe, I don't need it." Wang Ye shook his thermos containing goji berries and waved his hand.

Baron smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand in a gentlemanly gesture of invitation to Lü Liang: "This is a fine wine I've been treasuring, Lü, please enjoy it."

"The large ship is still half a day's journey from Nathan Island. We have plenty of time, Lu, you can speak slowly."

……

After one hour.

“Rituals, the Eight Gates, the Five Elements… the flaws of the Eight Extraordinary Skills…” Baron looked thoughtful and sighed, “Eastern culture is indeed amazing…”

Immediately afterwards, he nodded and thanked Lü Liang, saying:

“Lu, thank you so much for telling me all this. I’m willing to participate in the ceremony you mentioned… However, there’s one thing I don’t quite understand.”

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang looked up at Baron, only to meet his questioning gaze.

Baron carefully observed Lü Liang's expression and slowly said:
“Lu, this is just my intuition, but I can’t ignore it. Hmm… I feel that besides resolving the hidden dangers of the strange technique, you have another purpose in facilitating the reappearance ritual…”

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye turned his head and glanced at Lü Liang.

His brow furrowed slightly, because he had also been experiencing the strange feeling that Baron had mentioned.

Although the flaws of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques were somewhat troublesome, he still felt that Lao Lü was being a little too proactive about this matter.

Is this enthusiasm due to the more fatal flaw of ambidextrous hands, or is there another reason?

A sudden thought flashed through Wang Ye's mind, and he recalled once again the prophecy left by Zhuge Liang that he had heard from Zhuge Gong—

"Whenever the world of superhumans is in turmoil, it is always initiated by a person who combines innate and acquired superhuman abilities."

"Those who stir up trouble are of peculiar origins, whose whereabouts are unknown, and whose destinations are uncertain."

He raised his hand and scratched the back of his neck, his gaze towards Lü Liang growing increasingly profound.

Tsk tsk, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Lao Lü was hiding something from him, and it was definitely not a small matter.

"That's not fair, brother."

Wang Ye slapped Lü Liang on the shoulder, only to be met with Lü Liang's ambiguous smile.

After being stared at for a while, Wang Ye withdrew his hand and said helplessly:

"Alright, Lao Lü, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask anymore. But don't use your dirty tricks on me."

Wang Ye pursed his lips as he spoke.

It's a pity that this matter can't be predicted by divination, and besides, Old Lu is extremely tight-lipped; you can't get anything out of him if he doesn't want to say something. His skill in making jokes is comparable to that of Shameless...

He should let himself off the hook first.

The next moment, Wang also turned his gaze to Baron, his eyes full of encouragement, trying his best to signal him to ask more questions.

Unfortunately, this plan also failed.

Because he saw that Baron had been asking Lü Liang questions for a long time, but all he got were fancy but repetitive answers, without a single relevant piece of information. He was even worse than Baron.

Wang Ye watched this scene with a helpless drooping eye, his right hand stroking his chin back and forth, his mind quickly thinking about the recent events.

In recent days, they have gathered more and more information about the Jia Shen Rebellion and the final ceremony, and the truth of that year seems to be gradually emerging.

However, there is one important issue that has not seen any progress.

That is where Wugensheng went.

Previously, they thought the mysterious person was Wugensheng, but now they have confirmed that the person is actually Gao Gen, who, like them, is searching for the truth of what happened back then.

Given Wugensheng's abilities, very few people could kill him, so he is very likely still alive.

Moreover, since the ceremony was unsuccessful back then, the person who should have been most eager to recreate it was Wugensheng.

However, based on their current investigation, neither the elderly who witnessed the Jia Shen Rebellion nor Feng Baobao, who had a close relationship with Wu Gengsheng, seemed to know anything about Wu Gengsheng's whereabouts.

So, where has Wugensheng been all these years?

Wang Ye's gaze slowly shifted to Lü Liang: Is this matter related to Old Lü? (End of Chapter)
