Reborn as Lin Pingzhi, starting from escorting Daiyu to the capital.

"Elder Bai, do you prefer your mooncakes savory or sweet?"

Everyone was taken aback again upon hearing this question.

Some people thought: Mooncakes are naturally best when they are salty.

Another group thought: Salty mooncakes are never as delicious as sweet ones.

Bai Shijing trembled slightly as he said, "We beggars are lucky to have mooncakes to eat, we don't care whether they're sweet or savory."

Many Beggars' Sect disciples nodded secretly: Elder Bai is right, we beggars have no right to be picky about food.

Lin Pingzhi laughed and said, "Not so, not so. In my opinion, the mooncake on Elder Bai's body is sweeter than honey."

Bai Shijing was already covered in cold sweat.

These two sentences were clearly spoken by him and Madam Ma during their secret rendezvous and flirtation. How did the other party know these things?

Seeing that Bai Shijing remained silent after hearing this, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, the crowd couldn't help but wonder:

Could it be that Elder Bai really has mooncakes hidden on him?

"Elder Bai, if you really have mooncakes hidden on you, why don't you take them out and let everyone see them?"

A soft and melodious voice rang out; it was Lin Daiyu.

Lin Pingzhi secretly gave Lin Daiyu a thumbs up, inwardly praising her: Lin Daiyu's reputation as a sharp-tongued critic is well-deserved.

It turned out that when Lin Daiyu saw Bai Shijing's face turn pale and then red after Lin Pingzhi's words, she didn't know the reason, but her intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on, so she simply went along with what Lin Pingzhi had said.

Seeing this, the members of the Fuwei Escort Agency all loudly echoed:

"Elder Bai, please take out the mooncakes you have on you and let us see them."

"Yes, as an elder of the Beggars' Sect, you should set an example and never hog all the benefits."

"So Elder Bai likes sweets? That won't do. I absolutely cannot agree to that."

The members of the Beggars' Sect were indignant to see their elder being ridiculed in such a way, and they were also puzzled to see that Elder Bai remained silent.

"Hmph, outsiders are not allowed to interfere in our gang's affairs!"

Suddenly, a figure rushed forward like a ghost, its right hand grabbing at Lin Pingzhi's wrist like an eagle's claw.

This man had a flowing white beard and wore a patched-up robe; he was an extremely old beggar.

A'Zhu cried out in alarm, "Elder Xu!"

It turned out that when Madam Ma saw Lin Pingzhi secretly expose her affair with Bai Shijing, and saw Bai Shijing looking dejected and silent, she was secretly anxious and gave Elder Xu a wink.

Elder Xu had been having an affair with Madam Ma. When Madam Ma gave him a meaningful look, he knew it was inappropriate, but he had no choice but to help her.

He held a very high position in the martial arts world, and no one expected that he would actually attack a young junior like Lin Pingzhi.

Elder Xu was closest to Lin Pingzhi, and in the blink of an eye, he had already rushed to Lin Pingzhi's side. Upon seeing this, Qiao Feng cried out, "Brother, be careful!"

It was too late to stop them.

Wang Yuyan's voice rang out at the right moment: "This Elder Xu is using the martial arts of Qingliang Temple on Mount Wutai. This move is called..."

Before she could finish speaking, Elder Xu's right hand had already grabbed Lin Pingzhi's wrist with lightning speed.

"This move is called 'asking for trouble'."

Lin Pingzhi answered loudly, his voice booming and resounding throughout the hall.

As if to verify Lin Pingzhi's words, Elder Xu's right hand was pulled back as if he had been electrocuted the moment it touched Lin Pingzhi.

He looked at Lin Pingzhi with a strange expression, his eyes full of astonishment.

Just now, when Elder Xu grabbed Lin Pingzhi, a chilling true energy pierced through his wrist and into his bones, causing him extreme discomfort and forcing him to let go.

Lin Pingzhi would not let this opportunity slip by. He flashed forward and asked loudly:

"Miss Wang, what is the name of this move I'm using?"

Having said that, he feinted with his left palm, then suddenly attacked from below with his right palm, grabbing at Elder Xu's wrist.

Wang Yuyan blurted out, "This is a move from the Lin family's 'Overturning Heaven Palm' technique of the Fuwei Escort Agency, called 'Cloudy Universe'."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Pingzhi firmly grasped Elder Xu's wrist, and his icy true energy once again penetrated to the bone. Elder Xu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and was immediately unable to move.

Lin Pingzhi grabbed Elder Xu's wrist and shouted:

"Miss Wang, you are mistaken. This move is called 'An eye for an eye.'"

Wang Yuyan buried her head in thought, and after a while, she looked up and said seriously:

"Young Master Lin, the 'Shifting Stars' technique is about cleverly redirecting the opponent's attack to injure them. Although you captured Elder Xu, you used your own martial arts, which doesn't truly qualify as 'using their own methods against them.'"

The crowd already felt something was amiss when they saw a dignified elder of the Beggars' Sect bullying a young junior.

Now, seeing Elder Xu subdued by the opponent in one move, they all felt humiliated.

Coupled with Wang Yuyan's earnest explanation, which made her think that Wang Yuyan was being sarcastic, she felt even more ashamed.

However, no one dared to underestimate the young man who had sworn brotherhood with the gang leader.

"Young hero, please release Elder Xu!" At this moment, a calm voice rang out.

Lin Pingzhi looked at the newcomer and saw that he was wearing a silk robe and had an extraordinary temperament. Behind him stood five young men, all with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their appearances were very similar.

Lin Pingzhi pondered to himself, knowing that this man was "Iron-Faced Judge" Shan Zheng, and behind him stood his five sons, the Five Heroes of Mount Tai.

He pretended not to know and instead asked Azhu beside him, "Sister Azhu, who is this old man?"

Azhu said with a smile, "This man's surname is Shuang, his given name is Wai, and his nickname is 'Iron-Butt Judge'."

The Beggars' Sect disciples found it amusing that A'Zhu used Zhao Qiansun's words to mock Shan Zheng, but they quickly suppressed their laughter when they remembered that Shan Zheng had come to help.

Lin Pingzhi said, "Oh, so it's Senior Shuangwai. Since Senior Shuang has spoken, I..."

He paused, deliberately drawing out his words, and said, "Of course we won't release it."

Suppressing his anger, Shan Zheng said, "I am Shan Zheng, known in the martial arts world as the 'Iron-Faced Judge.' Would you please give me some face, young brother?"

Lin Pingzhi coldly said, "When Elder Xu ambushed me, did the Iron-Faced Judge ever consider that the other party might give me face?"

"this……"

Dan Zheng was speechless. It was indeed Elder Xu's fault for striking first, and he didn't know how to refute it.

His sons behind him were furious to see their father suffer a setback and wanted to help him, but they could only stand aside in frustration because Elder Xu was in the other party's hands.

Because Lin Pingzhi captured Elder Xu, the Beggars' Sect was suddenly put on the defensive.

Lin Pingzhi hated Elder Xu for spreading rumors, so he deliberately used his Frost True Qi.

Elder Xu felt an extreme chill, his whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth.

Seeing this, Qiao Feng felt sorry for him and said, "Brother, Elder Xu's sneak attack was wrong, but he is, after all, an elder of the Beggars' Sect. Please let him go."

He was deeply moved when he saw Lin Pingzhi stand up for him.

However, they also did not want Lin Pingzhi to offend the Beggars' Sect because of this.

Lin Pingzhi said, "Since you've spoken, I'll spare Elder Xu's life for now."

Having said that, he released Elder Xu's wrist.

Elder Xu was extremely ashamed. He wanted to thank Qiao Feng, but he couldn't bring himself to do so. He could only return to the Beggars' Sect members with a sense of embarrassment.

Qiao Feng clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone and said loudly, "The green hills remain unchanged, the clear waters flow forever. My good brothers, farewell."

"Whether I am Han or Khitan, I will never harm a single Han person in my lifetime."

As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed at Shan Zheng in mid-air. Shan Zheng felt a powerful suction force coming towards him, and the single-edged sword involuntarily slipped from his hand and was caught by Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng flicked his wrist, breaking the single-edged sword in two.

"Brother, let's go."

Qiao Feng led Lin Pingzhi and the others away.

The Beggars' Sect disciples were stunned. Many shouted, "Leader, don't go!" But Qiao Feng ignored them and strode away without looking back.

Lin Pingzhi followed Qiao Feng, but after taking a few steps, he couldn't help but turn back and say:

"Master Quan, Elder Bai, Elder Xu, the best mooncakes are still with Madam Ma, but I'm afraid there won't be enough for you to share."

Everyone was stunned once again.

Quan Guanqing looked at Bai Shijing and Elder Xu, seemingly lost in thought.

Bai Shijing glared fiercely at Madam Ma.

Only Elder Xu looked bewildered.
