Chapter 881: Scholar Lü

In the bustling Tongfu Inn,

A table of delicacies was set out, and everyone present couldn't help but feel excited.

Guo Furong, in particular, couldn't help but pull on Zhang Cheng's arm and say, "Little Zhang, Sister knew you were a person with a bright future. If you had followed Old Madam Sun back then, you'd be enjoying a life of luxury by now!"

With a twitching corner of his mouth, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "Can you not bring that up?"

Back then, on his second day after arriving, he had gone out to squat on a street corner and was spotted by Old Madam Sun, who was passing by. She had been determined to make him go with her.

But Zhang Cheng was not that kind of person, so he had sternly refused her on the spot.

Old Madam Sun had still tried to snatch him away, and since Zhang Cheng, who had no strength to truss a chicken at the time, couldn't fight her off, he had run into Tongfu Inn.

Fortunately, Tong Xiangyu had saved his life; otherwise, his innocence would have been lost!

And this incident had always been a source of teasing from Bai Zhantang and the others.

"Alright, alright, Little Guo, what are you bringing that up for? With food in front of you, can't that stop your mouth?"

Looking at Guo Furong, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but complain.

Just as everyone was eating, Yan Xiaoliu ran in, his face full of panic as he said, "Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

"What's wrong, Constable Yan?"

Looking Yan Xiaoliu up and down, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but ask.

"There's been an earthquake in the capital, and Ji Wuming has escaped!"

Just as Yan Xiaoliu took a sip of water and blurted this out, everyone present was shocked.

"Who is Ji Wuming?"

Looking at everyone in confusion, everyone present except Zhang Cheng and Guo Furong looked extremely panicked.

"Ji Wuming..."

Thinking of the Ji Wuming of the past, Bai Zhantang broke out in a cold sweat, because back then, in order to protect Tong Xiangyu, he had used a thunder-bolt bomb to blast that guy into an idiot!

Now that Ji Wuming had escaped, he would definitely come to Tongfu Inn!

But in the next second, Zhang Cheng spoke up: "What are you all afraid of? Isn't Constable Yan still here? Just let him handle it when the time comes!"

"Me?"

Looking at everyone in shock, Yan Xiaoliu couldn't help but gulp.

"That's right, aren't you a constable?"

Looking at Yan Xiaoliu, Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter, Constable Yan? You come here to sponge off food and drink when things are fine, but want to run away when there's trouble?"

"Beggar Zhang, how are you talking? When have I ever sponged off food and drink? I've been protecting Qixia Town, haven't I?"

Facing Zhang Cheng, Yan Xiaoliu roared angrily.

"Then put down the chicken leg you're holding!"

Seeing Yan Xiaoliu's stubborn attitude, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but scold him.

"Hmph, it's just a chicken leg, who cares! Don't blame me for not coming to help when you get into trouble later!"

Turning around, Yan Xiaoliu ran off in a rage.

Watching Yan Xiaoliu's retreating figure, Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but say, "Oh dear, Little Zhang, you've angered Constable Yan away! What are we going to do now?"

"Ji Wuming has become an idiot, what are you afraid of? Isn't Scholar Lü still here?"

Looking at Scholar Lü beside him, Zhang Cheng smiled.

In times of prosperity, he uses the Mountain-Moving Wave; in times of adversity, he uses the Sunflower Acupoint-Sealing Hand; in times of desperation, he uses Scholar Lü!

"Me?"

Pointing at himself, Scholar Lü's face was full of disbelief.

Because he couldn't understand why he should be the one to deal with Ji Wuming!

"That's right, it's Scholar Lü, because only you can deal with Ji Wuming!"

Looking at Scholar Lü earnestly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and say, "Believe in yourself, you are the most powerful one!"

"Ah?"

Looking at Scholar Lü with suspicion, everyone's faces were full of disbelief.

Because wasn't this a joke? If Scholar Lü could handle Ji Wuming, would they be this afraid?

After returning to the Hua Residence, Zhang Cheng threw the matter of Ji Wuming to the back of his mind.

After all, among the three Ji brothers, except for Ji Wuli who was slightly troublesome, Ji Wuming and Ji Wubing were both the type whose brains didn't work well.

One is an idiot, one is a bookworm, and one is obsessed with money—Gongsun Wulong's teaching level really leaves something to be desired!

Inside the Hua Residence, a busy, graceful figure was carrying a tea tray as she walked forward.

But just then, Tang Bohu suddenly appeared and said, "Qiuxiang, where are you going?"

"9527, what are you doing?"

Looking at Tang Bohu before her, Qiuxiang couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, didn't I come here to help you?"

Looking at Qiuxiang with a face full of smiles, Tang Bohu smiled.

But looking at Tang Bohu, Qiuxiang smiled and said, "Is that so?"

"Of course. Look, you're all by yourself..."

Just as Tang Bohu was about to say something, Qiuxiang shouted, "Steward Wu!"

"Here!"

With a loud shout, Steward Wu immediately sprang out from the side.

Looking at Steward Wu before him, Tang Bohu said in shock, "What were you doing squatting in the grass?"

"What are you doing here? Huh? 9527!"

Patting Tang Bohu on the shoulder, Steward Wu stared at him with a stern face.

But looking at Steward Wu, Tang Bohu's mouth twitched as he said, "Um, I came here to help?"

"You're a servant, don't you know you can't just enter the backyard? 9527!"

Grabbing Tang Bohu and scolding him, Steward Wu roared.

"Then what about him?"

Pointing at Zhang Cheng not far away, Tang Bohu asked.

"Him? Can you compare to him? He is my disciple!"

Raising his arms, Steward Wu struck a formidable pose and couldn't help but scold him.

"It's over!"

With this thought appearing in his mind, Tang Bohu immediately knew he was in for trouble.

Sure enough, Steward Wu carried Tang Bohu away as he said, "Little Zhang, practice hard, I'll come to check on you later!"

"Yes, Steward Wu!"

Watching Tang Bohu being dragged away, Zhang Cheng felt a sense of helplessness.

After all, "forgetting the beating but not the pain" is exactly what describes Tang Bohu; this guy is really too asking for it!

However, just as Zhang Cheng was slacking off in the Hua Residence, danger arrived at Tongfu Inn.

Just as Yan Xiaoliu had said, Ji Wuming had escaped and had even returned here.

Although he had lost his intelligence, in terms of martial prowess, Ji Wuming could be said to have crushed everyone.

At the moment of danger, Ji Wuming rushed forward and roared, "Give me your life!"

"Wait, you can kill me, but let me ask you a question first!"

Looking at Ji Wuming before him, Scholar Lü immediately started at zero frames and launched his ultimate move first.

"Speak!"

Looking at Scholar Lü, Ji Wuming had no idea that it was his hesitation that would lead to his death.

"Who are you, and who am I? Who exactly wants to kill me, and who am I going to kill?"

Questioning Ji Wuming, Scholar Lü couldn't help but become serious.

"Does this question have any meaning?"

Looking at Scholar Lü with suspicion, Ji Wuming looked somewhat dazed.

Squatting on the roof, Zhang Cheng raised his hand to pat his face and said, "If someone asked me this question, I'd have to teach him how to 'be a person'!"

Under Scholar Lü's powerful logic, Ji Wuming was completely bewildered.

Then, at Scholar Lü's final shout, he slapped his own forehead with both palms and died instantly!

Watching everything with a twitching mouth, Zhang Cheng stared with dull, wide eyes and said, "Damn it, someone needs to buy melon seeds for Ji Wuming! Dying so stupidly!"

However, just as Zhang Cheng was thinking, four figures suddenly flashed past behind him.

Standing up, Zhang Cheng looked at a spot not far away and said, "That looks like the location of the Hua Mansion!"

But just as Zhang Cheng finished this sentence, his whole person was shocked and said, "Hua Mansion?"

Rushing quickly toward the Hua Mansion, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but curse under his breath, "These guys who know Lightness Skill run damn fast!"
