Chapter 75

As the two walked into the inner courtyard, Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong greeted them with smiles.

"It's all because of that Jade Butterfly matter. Now that it's finally over, we can continue to cultivate."

Wu Yongfeng laughed: "Come, Junior Brother Zhang Yong, let's spar, let Senior Brother see if you have made any progress during this period."

"That is exactly what I was thinking."

Zhang Yong stepped forward and began to fight with Wu Yongfeng.

"Do you know who the person from the Huang family defiled by the Jade Butterfly is?" Zhang Hong leaned over sneakily.

"Who?" Xu Yang had originally wanted to spar with Zhang Hong, but seeing this, he had to stop.

Zhang Hong whispered: "It is said to be the young lady betrothed to Lu Ren. It seems the two were already engaged, and the wedding date was set for three months from now!"

Xu Yang: …

For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He knew someone from the Huang family had fallen victim to the Jade Butterfly, but he hadn't expected it to be the person the Huang family was using for a marriage alliance with Lu Ren. Now, Lu Ren would be in a dilemma whether to break the engagement or go through with it.

He turned his head to look and found that Lu Ren had also arrived, but his state didn't seem to be affected; he was in a corner cultivating the Turtle-Snake Stance.

"He is much stronger than me."

After sensing slightly, he discovered the gap between himself and Lu Ren; he probably wasn't Lu Ren's opponent now.

Without using the panel to upgrade his cultivation methods, the money he used for cultivation in a month was only two or three taels, while Lu Ren had fifteen taels a month; the gap between the two was gradually widening.

"We have never truly sparred before; do you dare to fight?"

Seeming to notice Xu Yang's gaze, Lu Ren opened his eyes and looked over to issue a challenge.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the inner courtyard disciples looked very interested.

When they were in the outer courtyard, Xu Yang had always been chasing after Lu Ren. Now that the two had been gathering Qi for nearly two months, he didn't know if they were still evenly matched as before.

"I heard you are about to marry the noble lady of the Huang family; I wouldn't dare to fight you." Xu Yang said calmly.

The large inner courtyard quieted down instantly, and Lu Ren's face turned red visibly.

Now, who didn't know that his fiancée had been harmed by the Jade Butterfly, and he was currently discussing how to resolve it with the Huang family? Xu Yang's words were simply rubbing salt into his wounds.

"You are courting death!" Lu Ren roared and strode over.

But he was stopped halfway by Sun Tao: "Junior Brother Lu, you know the rules of the inner courtyard."

Lu Ren's chest heaved, and he forcibly swallowed this anger, returning to continue his stance training.

"Your mouth is really vicious!" Zhang Hong gave Xu Yang a thumbs up.

"Who told him to try and step on me!"

Xu Yang didn't want to provoke Lu Ren either, but since this guy wanted to step on him, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

"Come, spar with me. I haven't had time to practice martial arts for a while, and my hands are getting rusty."

"Senior Brother Xu Yang, let me accompany you." Qiu Wenjie's voice rang out.

Zhang Hong smiled and said: "You haven't been here for a while, so I forgot to tell you: this kid held out for three months and also succeeded in gathering Qi."

"Alright, then you come!"

Xu Yang stepped forward, his fist tearing through the air as he struck toward Qiu Wenjie, and the two quickly began to fight.
