Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five

Zhou Fengliu was puzzled.

Despite his confusion, he still didn't plan to go after receiving the invitation. After all, he couldn't bear sitting there as a witness for several days...

Until the day before the ceremony, Lu Jin personally called him...

Over the phone, Lu Jin earnestly asked him to be a witness at Li Muxuan's ceremony.

According to Lu Jin, Li Muxuan was someone he brought back from Nathan Island, and he should have been present when Li Muxuan settled his grudges with him... that's called seeing things through to the end.

He is the most suitable person to be this witness.

Chapter 590 Is this still in China?

The Sanyi Sect was a renowned sect within the martial arts world. If Li Muxuan and Wugensheng hadn't caused such a ruckus within the sect, perhaps it wouldn't have completely declined...

The venue where Li Muxuan withdrew from the Quanxing ritual this time was near the old site of the Sanyi Sect.

Looking at the desolate ruins of the Sanyi Sect before him, Zhang Chulan seemed to see, through the traces of time, a glimpse of the sect's former glory...

"So this is the Trinity Sect..." Zhang Chulan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Ah."

Hearing this, Xu Si responded and lit a traditional cigarette, then glanced at the buildings in front of him.

"This place has been abandoned for so many years; most other schools of thought in the industry are unwilling to touch it..."

"Over the years, quite a few people outside the industry have wanted to take over this place and develop it into a scenic area... to charge admission fees and such, but the terrain here is too treacherous, and the construction difficulty is too great..."

"?"

"Charge admission? You actually make money from that?" Zhang Chulan was slightly taken aback.

"Well, the developers don't care what happened here. They want to make money from everything... but they haven't succeeded yet. I heard that every time the development is about to be finalized, the people who come to inspect the site always run into some trouble..."

"They either suddenly fainted or encountered some wild beasts in the mountains or something. Although nothing really went wrong in the end, basically no one wanted to go there anymore after that..."

While listening to Xu Si recount the rumors about the former site of the Sanyi Sect, Zhang Chulan and the others arrived at the place where Li Muxuan withdrew from the Quanxing Ceremony.

As far as the eye could see, there was a relatively flat open space in front of us, where many people were sitting around on small stools.

Zhang Chulan glanced around, and the first person he saw was Lu Jin, who was dressed in a white, loose-fitting robe and had a somewhat otherworldly air about him.

Anyone with a discerning eye in the industry can immediately recognize that this outfit is the very one worn by the Trinity Group members back in the day...

At this moment, Lu Jin sat on the bench, staring at Li Muxuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the open space, with a gloomy expression. A murky light flashed in his old eyes, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Behind him, members of the Lu family also attended, including Lu Linglong and Lu Lin.

Not far from Lu Jin, Feng Zhenghao, also one of the Ten Elders, arrived with Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong, along with Tang Miaoxing from the Tang Clan, Huang Ning from the Seeking Truth Society, and others...

It's fair to say that all the prominent figures in the industry have come.

"How many people did Li Muxuan invite?" Zhang Chulan asked, swallowing hard after glancing around.

"We probably didn't invite many people; most of them just came to watch the fun..." Xu Si replied, stubbing out his cigarette.

"Fourth Brother, when is Brother Liu arriving?"

"Xiao Zhou... Xiao Zhou, this is your last day, right?" Xu Si replied, then added, "These next few days, you and Bao'er will have to work a little harder, keep an eye on things and make sure nothing goes wrong..."

"Ahem, Fourth Brother, if Brother Liu doesn't come and something goes wrong, we two lowly employees won't be able to handle it..."

Zhang Chulan stated that everyone present was a big shot in the industry, not some thugs; if something really happened, he and Feng Baobao would basically be cannon fodder...

"What are you panicking about? Even if something goes wrong, it'll be Li Muxuan who gets punished, not you. Be alert, don't let down our reputation as someone who knows everything."

Xu Si told Zhang Chulan to straighten his chest and raise his head.

"..."

Time passed slowly, and the first six days went by in the blink of an eye. Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao had been keeping watch for those six days.

Over the past six days, many people have left and some have arrived at the open space, but most of them are just there to watch the spectacle and have no real grudge against Li Muxuan...

In summary, the past six days have been as peaceful as a tea party, with no hint of tension or conflict whatsoever.

Are all the people who truly have grudges against Li Muxuan waiting for the seventh day? Are they waiting until the very end to deliver a major blow to Li Muxuan?

Perhaps those who had grudges against Li Muxuan have already let go of them and have no intention of coming back...

After all, Li Muxuan's troubles in China were decades ago.

Over the decades, countless grudges will fade away with time...

"Today... should be the last day, right?"

Zhang Chulan asked Feng Baobao, who was standing beside him, noticing from the dark circles under his eyes that he hadn't been getting much rest these past few days...

"Okay," Feng Baobao replied.

"Brother Liu should be arriving soon..." Zhang Chulan murmured to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures walked over from not far away, one of whom was Xu Si.

The other figure was dressed in casual sportswear, and when he saw the depression where they were, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

“Brother Liu, over here…” Zhang Chulan waved to Zhou Fengliu.

"Um..."

Zhou Fengliu responded and then walked over.

Regarding the venue where Li Muxuan withdrew from the Quanxing ceremony, all he could say was, "Is this still in China? Where did they put him?"

If Xu Si hadn't come to pick him up, he might have gotten lost in these mountains...

Upon seeing Zhou Fengliu's arrival, everyone in the industry was surprised to see him there, and they all came over to greet him.

"Has anyone been attacking Li Muxuan these past few days?" After dealing with these people, Zhou Fengliu turned to Zhang Chulan beside him and asked.

"Well... there's no concrete evidence, but two groups of people came over and talked to Li Muxuan for a while..." Zhang Chulan then described to Zhou Fengliu the noteworthy events of the past few days.

The first group was the Quanxing Sect, with Xia Liuqing, Jin Feng, and Yuan Tao serving as witnesses...

As for the second group, it consisted of an old man named Lao Liu and an old monk from Jing'an. This Lao Liu seemed to be the one whose wedding Li Muxuan had disrupted years ago...

The two of them talked to Li Muxuan about the evil deeds he had committed in the past, but in the end they didn't fight him...

Perhaps both of them have already let go of the past. As for their visit to Li Muxuan this time, it was only to help the older generation, who had also let go of the past, to understand Li Muxuan.

After hearing Zhang Chulan's description, Zhou Fengliu felt that Li Muxuan's ceremony for leaving Quanxing was a bit unnecessary—like taking off your pants to fart...

He thought it was a huge deal and he wanted to discuss it with everyone, but... nobody cared at all.

Oh no...

It's not to say that nobody cares; at least Lu Jin and Old Master Lu care a lot.

Zhou Fengliu glanced at Lu Jin in the distance and thought to himself.

Lu Jin was still sitting in the same spot.

His gaze remained fixed on Li Muxuan; he was waiting for the final moment, waiting for everyone to settle their scores with Li Muxuan, so that he could finally resolve their grievances properly with Li Muxuan...

...

Chapter 591 Lu Jin: Zhou boy, come out and slap me three times!

Just as Zhang Chulan was chatting with Zhou Fengliu, an old figure, accompanied by a middle-aged Taoist priest, slowly walked towards them from a distance.

"That is?"

"The Celestial Master! The Celestial Master has arrived too."

Everyone present squinted, finally making out who the figure was.

That's right...

The visitor was none other than Lu Jin's old friend, Zhang Zhiwei, the current Celestial Master of the Zhengyi Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Old Zhang, are you here to persuade me?"

Seeing the old Celestial Master slowly approaching, Lu Jin, who was sitting in a chair, asked.

"They're here to watch the fun."

The old master glanced at Lu Jin, who was dressed in the uniform of the Trinity Sect, and then teased, "This outfit... it's been so many years since I've seen you, Old Lu, wear it?"

"Humph..."

Faced with the old master's teasing, Lu Jin didn't reply: "Old Zhang, no one can persuade me today, not even you..."

"I know, that's why I didn't come here to advise you. I just came to watch the show..."

The old master responded with a sentence.

He really didn't come to persuade Lu Jin.

The inner demons are not something that can be persuaded to work; you can only rely on yourself. He came here today purely to join in the fun and see if Lu Jin can overcome that hurdle.

If they overcome this hurdle, then everyone will be happy, and he will serve as a witness.

If he fails to cross that threshold and Lu Jin kills Li Muxuan, then he'll definitely drag Lu Jin up the mountain for tea and a reunion...

After the old master finished speaking, he prepared to find a place to sit down. Suddenly, he saw Zhou Fengliu and Zhang Chulan not far away, so he walked over.

"Fengliu, you've come to watch the fun too?" The old master greeted Zhou Fengliu.

"Hmm, Old Master Lu invited me to come and be a witness."

"If I had known you were coming, this old man wouldn't have come."

The old master gestured to his disciples to put down their chairs, then sat down and chatted with Zhou Fengliu.

Since his last trip to Sakura to quell the bandits, he felt as if he had become a few years younger. There's a saying that's true: following young people... even the oldest mindset will become younger. This time, he truly felt it...

"Old Celestial Master, if I had known about you, I wouldn't have come..." Zhou Fengliu said.

Hearing Zhou Fengliu mimicking his speech, the Old Master smiled and then said, "Not busy lately?"

"I'm not really busy... I'm on administrative leave."

"Hmm, it's good to rest. I'm getting quite bored up here on the mountain. If you have time, why don't you come stay with me for a couple of days..."
