Who taught him to practice swordsmanship like this?

For Su Baichen, Feng Linzi was ultimately different; he was like a brother and a father to him, which is why he was particularly reluctant to part ways with him.

When Wang Zhishui took office, Su Baichen accompanied him for a long distance.

Until Yu Xiangke arrived with another cultivator who looked quite old to join them.

"Bai Chen, this is the person I was talking about. He is my grand-disciple Yu Renlu. He is reliable and capable of taking on responsibilities."

Su Baichen blinked. This Yu Renlu looked much older than Senior Brother Feng Linzi, and was obviously not outstanding in cultivation.

However, with such a Liang Kingdom court official present, many things become easier to do.

Seeing this, Feng Linzi's expression turned somewhat indifferent. He had also heard his sect's old fisherman's evaluation of Yu Xiangke, so he didn't seem to trust Yu Renlu much either.

But he knew that both sides were on the same page, so he greeted them politely and then prepared to take his leave.

But just as he was about to leave...

"Hold on."

Suddenly, the traveler from Yuxiang called out to them.

Yu Renlu and Feng Linzi both stopped and turned to look at them.

"Grandmaster, is there anything else you wish to instruct?"

Yu Renlu respectfully clasped his hands in greeting and inquired.

Yu Xiangke sighed, "I'm just reminding you that it's best to be careful when you're traveling."

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi were both surprised. That's all?

If that's all there is to it, why bother reminding me?

But after a moment's hesitation, Yu Xiangke said, "The sudden fall of Baizhou this time is not simple; some things in it feel very familiar..."

He paused for a moment before saying seriously, "Three hundred years ago, I discovered a strange group of people."

"Some of them are in the imperial court, some in the military, and some are even in the spiritual realm."

"They seem to have no connection, but they often manage to do things in perfect unison..."

"For example, when the Great Yu Dynasty split up three hundred years ago, the Great Yu Dynasty was still incredibly powerful, but for some reason the Great Yu court reacted slowly and missed the best opportunity to quell the rebellion."

"That's bad enough, but on several occasions during battles, even when the Great Yu army had a clear advantage in every aspect, the commanding generals would suddenly defect on the battlefield..."

"Similar things have happened during the war against demons."

"They were clearly righteous cultivators, yet they suddenly led their own people into the trap of the demonic path... and it happened more than once."

"Even within the Great Yu's offering group, there has been someone like this... You know, the cultivation resources he received while serving as an offering member even exceeded those of elders or even sect leaders of ordinary sects. I really can't understand why he would choose to devote himself to the demonic path."

"If it were just someone on our side betraying us, that would be one thing; we could say it was the cunning of the demonic path, planting a spy beforehand. But in reality, they often send skilled demonic practitioners into our ambush so we can kill them..."

"Betrayal is everywhere, without reason or pattern!"

"Just like on the day we were supposed to have our final battle, I was ambushed by my most beloved disciple, who was also a prince of the Great Yu Dynasty, which caused me to lose almost all my strength and become a cripple..."

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi both showed expressions of being moved.

They had all heard about the decisive battle, but the storyteller was an old fisherman, and the description of the Yuxiang guest was that of a "deserter."

But when Yu Xiangke describes it from another perspective, it becomes quite chilling.

like……

"Senior, from what you're saying, there's a group of inexplicable people in this world, but what is their purpose in existing?"

Su Baichen asked, somewhat puzzled.

The man from Yuxiang shook his head: "I don't know."

"I only noticed the existence of this kind of person, but because it was so absurd, I rarely talked about it with others."

"But this time, Baizhou was also a major town that betrayed and surrendered to the enemy without any reason, which allowed the Northern Wei army to drive straight into and besiege Liangdu."

Su Baichen and Feng Linzi exchanged a glance, each lost in thought.

Upon hearing this somewhat terrifying secret, Su Baichen couldn't help but use the "Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror," a technique he had already mastered.

As a result, Yu Xiangke noticed it immediately and glared at him in annoyance.

Feng Linzi also knew this trick, giving him a look that was both indulgent and helpless, telling him not to mess around.

But that road for the herdsmen.

Su Baichen hadn't expected to make any discoveries, but because of his strong intuition and his proficiency in the "Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror" which he had been practicing for over a month, he sensed that Yu Renlu seemed somewhat nervous, or rather, wary.

This sentiment isn't entirely wrong; after all, Yu Xiangke has said so, so we should be a little wary.

But Su Baichen felt that something was off...

But at this moment, Feng Linzi had already taken his leave and was preparing to depart.

Yu Renlu also took his leave.

They quietly disappeared, chasing after the pool of clear water...

"Are you hesitating?"

Suddenly, Yu Xiangke asked a question.

Su Baichen looked up in surprise: "Why do you say that, Senior?"

Yu Xiangke said, "I'm bringing this up now to test you."

"Things from three hundred years ago make me a bit paranoid."

Su Baichen was somewhat angry: "So, senior, you suspect that I also have a problem?"

Yu Xiangke shook his head: "No, if you had a problem, you wouldn't have been so insistent on Wang Zhishui's journey north."

"But I'm worried about your senior brother, since I haven't had much contact with him."

Su Baichen asked, "How did my senior brother perform?"

Yu Xiangke nodded and said, "It's not clear at the moment... but one thing is certain, he really cares about you."

Su Baichen chuckled and said, "That's right, he's my senior brother!"

Yu Xiangke said slowly, "So what? I've even seen close relatives suddenly turn against each other, without any reason or logic."

Upon hearing this, Su Baichen couldn't help but think of something and asked, "What about Senior Yu Renlu? Has Senior checked on his condition?"

Yu Xiangke chuckled and said, "I've watched Renlu grow up since he was a child, I even held him in my arms when he was just born, how could I be wrong?"

Su Baichen then asked, "Did you already inform Senior Yu Renlu of this conjecture?"

Yu Xiangke shook his head: "No, it's his first time too..."

Suddenly he froze.

Su Baichen's expression froze, and he was speechless.

Yu Xiangke, his face ashen, said, "I'll be right back."

Su Baichen quickly responded loudly, "I'll go take a look too!"

Are you kidding me? How could I possibly feel "alert" or "nervous" after hearing about something so strange for the first time? It should obviously start with "surprise," then "doubt," and at most, "caution"!

Su Baichen felt "warning" and "fear" through the "Mysterious Yin Heart Mirror". He previously thought that he had only used this secret technique on ordinary people, and that it might not be very accurate when used on cultivators.

But Yu Xiangke has cultivated for so long, he must have practiced something similar, his perception wouldn't be wrong...

In other words, is there really a problem with Yuren Road?
