Shi Potian put down his flute, but the people in the room were still immersed in that carefree and unrestrained, laughing-out-loud atmosphere, and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

In the midst of this silence, Shi Potian suddenly frowned slightly.

"Feifei, there's someone hiding outside eavesdropping."

Qu Feiyan and Liu Jing were both startled, snapping out of their reverie of the divine music. Qu Feiyan shouted loudly:

"Who goes there, sneaking around like that? Come out here!"

With a whoosh, someone in a panic leaped up from the bamboo grove outside and fled. The person outside the window knew he had been exposed, and dared not answer, turning and running away.

Seeing that the man was trying to run away, Shi Potian knew he was probably not a good person, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Where do you think you're going!"

Before he finished speaking, he moved and disappeared from the spot.

The three people inside were all from prestigious families. Although they were young, they were quite knowledgeable, but they had never seen such fast movement before.

What kind of light-footed skill is this?

The three were greatly shocked; even Qu Feiyan had not expected this.

The person outside reacted quickly, turning around in the bamboo forest and leaping up to the top of the bamboo grove. His lightness skill was superb, and he was about to fly out of the courtyard.

But in front of Shi Potian, it was still no different from a tortoise crawling, not worth a laugh.

In an instant, Shi Potian had caught up with him and said with a faint smile:

"Go down."

A hand lightly rested on his shoulder and pressed down gently. The man's body immediately sank, and he was pressed down directly from the bamboo forest, falling heavily to the ground with a thud.

"You eavesdropped first, then ran away after being caught; you're no good person."

Liu Jing, Liu Qin, and Qu Feiyan hurriedly chased after them. In the dim light of the lamplight under the corridor, Liu Jing exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Lu?"

Shi Potian dragged the man to the door and examined him closely by the light from inside. The subdued man was thin and gaunt, with a sinister face and yellowish eyes, as if he had jaundice.

This man looked to be around fifty years old. He was Lu Lianrong, the first generation of the Hengshan Sect, and also Liu Zhengfeng's junior brother. However, he was not well-known in the martial arts world and was far less famous than Master Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng.

Lu Lianrong was both shocked and furious. His face flushed red, and he tried to draw his sword to retaliate, but his whole body was numb and he couldn't even move his fingers. He was terrified.

The boy's movements were so fast it was unbelievable, and with a casual press, he left the boy with no chance to resist.

He maintained his elder's authority and shouted harshly:

"Insolence! Let go! I am Lu Lianrong of Hengshan, Liu Zhengfeng's junior brother, and your elder! How dare you, a junior, lay a hand on me?"

Shi Potian remained unmoved, his strength undiminished.

Qu Feiyan sneered, "Why did the elders eavesdrop? And why did they run away after being discovered by the young man?"

Lu Lianrong was speechless for a moment, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty, and he forced a defense:

"Nonsense! I was just passing by when I heard the unusual sound of the flute and stopped to listen. I did not eavesdrop."

You youngsters are making a racket here, disturbing others, and then you preemptively accuse others!

"As for running away, I simply had to leave first and have no interest in encountering you juniors. This is my senior brother's residence; why would I run away?"

As he spoke, he secretly tried to break free, but the hand on his shoulder felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move it at all.

Liu Jing said, "Young Master Lin, this man is indeed my martial uncle. Please release him."

Shi Potian then released his grip.

Lu Lianrong rubbed his shoulder, gave Qu Feiyan a deep look, snorted heavily at Shi Potian, and turned to leave the hospital.

Qu Feiyan watched the man's retreating figure and said, "Sister Liu, is this really your martial uncle? I've never seen him before. What are you up to, acting so suspiciously?"

Liu Jing said, "He is my martial uncle, and his seniority is after my father. He is known in the martial arts world as the Golden-Eyed Eagle."

Liu Jing sighed:

"The relationship between my Hengshan Sect's senior and junior masters was not good to begin with. I thought they wouldn't come to my father's retirement ceremony, but I didn't expect that Uncle Lu would come."

"He was acting suspiciously, perhaps he was really attracted by Young Master Lin's flute playing. After being exposed, he tried to leave, thinking that the juniors couldn't catch him, but little did he know that Young Master Lin's martial arts were far superior to his, and he was caught red-handed."

As she spoke, she looked at the boy of the same age before her, still deeply moved. The impact of seeing it with her own eyes ultimately surpassed that of having heard about it for a long time.

Witnessing his own martial uncle being easily subdued by a young man in a single move was a completely different experience from hearing that he had defeated Yu Canghai.

Liu Qin had originally hoped that other members of the Hengshan Sect, such as his senior brother Xiang Danian, could teach Shi Potian a lesson and prove that the Hengshan sword technique was stronger than the Bixie sword technique.

Seeing this scene, I felt utterly hopeless.

Qu Feiyan felt uneasy, sensing that Lu Lianrong was not as simple as he seemed.

Just as Shi Potian was about to go back to find his parents, Liu Qin suddenly said in a hoarse voice:

"Young Master Escort, you're so skilled! Did you master your family's Evil-Slaying Sword Technique? It's said that your great-grandfather was invincible with the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique. Is it really that powerful?"

Shi Potian laughed and said, "The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique isn't that powerful."

No one expected Shi Potian to be so candid.

Liu Qin immediately perked up again, as if she had regained some face:

"I knew the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique wasn't that powerful; it's all just hearsay. If it were truly invincible, how could Yu Canghai have wiped out so many of its branches?"

Liu Jing scolded, "Young man, how dare you speak like that? Apologize to Young Hero Lin right now!"

"Sister, I'm just telling the truth. I didn't do anything wrong," Liu Qin said stubbornly, looking unconvinced.

"If the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is really that powerful, then why is the Five Mountains Sword Sect the most renowned swordsman in the martial world? I've never heard of the Fuwei Escort Agency?"

"Although the young镖头 is more powerful than me and my martial uncle, his Evil-Repelling Sword Technique is not necessarily more powerful than the Hengshan Sword Technique. It's just that we haven't mastered it well enough."

His father, Lin Zhennan, also practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique, but wasn't his martial arts skill mediocre too?

Shi Potian had no interest in arguing with Liu Qin about which swordsmanship was better; feeling only boredom, he turned to Qu Feiyan and said:

"Feifei, I need to go find my parents. The banquet should be starting soon, so I'll go back and have a drink."

Qu Feiyan wasn't interested in the banquet, but then she rolled her eyes and said, "Weren't we going somewhere? It's not too late to go now."

She was referring to tracking down the person who had laughed on the rooftop earlier. She was already preparing to set off, but was interrupted by Liu Jing and her brother.

Shi Potian recalled the saying about the dragon's den and tiger's lair, and that the two masters were extremely skilled in martial arts, but their intentions were unclear.

Tomorrow is the ceremony to retire from the martial arts world. I wonder what other tricks Yu Canghai has up his sleeve. I should definitely investigate and maybe I can find something out.

He focused his senses on the location of Lin Zhennan and his wife, and saw that the banquet had already started. Lin Zhennan and his wife were sitting at the same table with Master Fang Sheng and Daoist Ling Xu, enjoying great prestige and having no safety concerns.

Shi Potian said to Qu Feiyan, "You're right, let's go now."

Having said that, he grabbed Qu Feiyan's small hand, leaped into the air, and vanished in an instant.

"Sister Liu, I..." Qu Feiyan hadn't even finished her sentence before she disappeared.

Liu Jing and Liu Qin looked at each other in bewilderment.

These two left as soon as they said they would, and their lightness skill was too fast; they were gone in the blink of an eye.

While the two were still in a daze, Liu Zhengfeng hurried over, frowned, and asked:

"What are you all doing here? Who was playing the flute just now?"
