Chapter 193: with translation of chapter title

"Luo Sir, with your words I feel relieved!"

Xuanqing Daozhang said solemnly.

He naturally didn't expect the Luo family to make Wang Ping'an talented; at least Luo Quan lacked the ability to make Wang Ping'an talented.

Luo Quan is not much stronger than him, or perhaps even weaker.

What he cares about is the Luo family providing Wang Ping'an with abundant cultivation resources, and when Wang Ping'an reaches a certain age, sending him to Ziyang Palace to cultivate.

Relying on Ziyang Palace's foundation, plus the Luo family's support, and Wang Ping'an's own talent, he will surely become a major figure.

Leaving his name in history is no problem!

Luo Taiqing reminded, "Daozhang, don't forget what you promised me!"

"Daozhang, Luo Sir, you haven't eaten, have you? I'll go to the kitchen..."

Liu Dongzhu spoke first, but before she could finish, Luo Taiqing interrupted: "Madam Wang, no need, I've already eaten at home, I'll be leaving soon."

Wang Ping'an, taking advantage of the people in the main hall, more precisely, taking advantage of Xuanqing Daozhang's inattention, released a miniature paper person from his storage bag.

He furtively followed the departing Shu Mu, watching him mount a white horse, urging the white horse, and galloping away from Hutou Gou.

He hurriedly followed after!

Outside Hutou Gou, on a major road.

Wang Ping'an watched Shu Mu about to disappear, gave a cold snort, moved his thought, and immediately used the skill: Ghost Wall, watching Shu Mu riding the white horse spin in place, his face full of smugness.

Wang Ping'an silently thought: "You dog, coming to cause trouble at my Wang family, see how I'll deal with you!"

Not long ago.

Seeing Shu Mu address his mother as "Madam Liu", his mother's ugly expression made him know she was angry; hearing Shu Mu's mocking remarks toward his master made it even harder to suppress his inner anger.

How could his Wang family allow an outsider to cause trouble?

Moreover.

Looking at Shu Mu's appearance, it's obvious he came to cause trouble under Wang Ruhai's orders.

If this time we don't give Shu Mu a profound lesson, he might think the Wang family is easy to bully.

Of course.

Although Shu Mu came to cause trouble, he didn't go too far, and he is also a degree holder from a prominent family.

If we casually kill him with a sword, neither the court nor the Shu family would let the Wang family off.

Even if.

Whether it's the court or the Shu family, they couldn't find Shu Mu's cause of death; if we were ruthless, even the corpse couldn't be found, the court might not care, but the Shu family would certainly take out their anger on the Wang family.

Such a prominent family is just that infuriating; unlike the court, which emphasizes evidence in its actions and investigations, they only need suspicion, a legitimate suspicion, and they don't need evidence at all.

He couldn't kill Shu Mu, who came to cause trouble at his Wang family, with a flying sword, but giving Shu Mu a beating is still possible.

One lap, two laps, three or four laps…

Shu Mu, trapped in the Ghost Wall, only after a long time realized something was off; he halted the galloping white horse, sat on it looking around, his brows slightly furrowed, and said in astonishment:

"What's going on? I feel like I've been here before, and not just once?"

The next moment, a flash of inspiration passed through Shu Mu's mind; he muttered words, his whole body emanated a pure righteous qi, his eyes gleamed, being infused with a large amount of righteous qi.

A beam of light shot from Shu Mu's eyes! "Ghost Wall?"

Shu Mu's face darkened, he coldly snorted: "Excellent method, truly excellent, no wonder you're a wild Daoist, you only know these lowly heretical ways!"

All the way from the prefectural city to Hutou Gou, he had never encountered any mishap; this time, just after leaving Hutou Gou, he encountered the Ghost Wall, no need to think, one knows who did it.

Besides Xuanqing Daozhang, who had just mocked him at the Wang residence, he couldn't think of anyone else who would dare use such heretical methods against him.

Luo Taiqing?

Although he is a disciple of the Dao-practicing Luo family, there's a good chance he's not a direct descendant, so he couldn't learn much of the Luo family's abilities; even if he had learned all of the Luo family's skills, he wouldn't end up as a local tycoon in the county town.

Earlier at the Wang residence, he had had a conflict with Luo Taiqing, but it wasn't intense; mostly it was him being mocked by Luo Taiqing there.

He was wary of Luo Taiqing's background—of course, mainly he was grateful for the information Luo Taiqing provided, which could help him get closer to Wang Ruhai and the prime minister's mansion.

Naturally, he wouldn't stoop to Luo Taiqing's level, nor take his mocking to heart.

Even if he suffered a loss in front of Luo Taiqing, even if Luo Taiqing were petty, he couldn't possibly chase after him to use Ghost Wall to toy with him.

Besides Xuanqing Daozhang, he couldn't think of anyone who would use such lowly methods!

"Wild Daoist, with just these tricks you dare to bother me? Aren't you afraid of embarrassment? With just this ability, I really can't imagine you could teach Brother Ruhai's child to become promising!"

Shu Mu gave a cold shout, then muttered words, as if reciting some text or poem, and a mighty righteous qi burst from his whole body.

This novel you have reached.

The next second.

Behind Shu Mu, a mounted warrior gradually coalesced, holding a long bow, drawing an arrow from the quiver at his waist.

The long bow drawn to a full moon!

"Whoosh!"

A crisp sound of tearing through the air rang out; the arrow, like thunder, struck the Ghost Wall, forming a deafening explosion.

The Ghost Wall shattered instantly!

Shu Mu sneered: "Embarrassing wild Daoist, go back and study a few more years!"

As he spoke, Shu Mu's gaze wandered around; unfortunately, no matter how he searched, he couldn't find Xuanqing Daozhang's trace.

Yet it's not regrettable!

From Xuanqing Daozhang using Ghost Wall to toy with him, rather than employing a killing move, one can see that Xuanqing Daozhang dare not do anything to him.

And how could he dare to appear before him?

Shu Mu wasn't angry either; he himself had just mocked Xuanqing Daozhang, and the other party, full of anger, even a little temper, would come to seek revenge.

He could understand Xuanqing Daozhang's actions!

However.

If he gets the chance, he wants to properly deal with this old fellow a bit, lest he truly think Shu Mu is easy to bully and that he has no temper.

"Is this the ability of a Confucian scholar?"

Wang Ping'an watched Shu Mu's receding back as he rode away on horseback, and in his mind he recalled the light shooting from Shu Mu's eyes, as well as the martial general formed behind him, poised to shoot arrows.

At that time, Shu Mu was murmuring words under his breath; Wang Ping'an was far from him, yet he still faintly heard a bit—poetry and prose he had never heard before.

No.

He had never properly studied the writings, poetry, and lyrical works of this world.

How could he know the writings, poetry, and lyrical works of this world?

"At least he's a Provincial Graduate, has some ability, that's normal, but do you think the matter ends just like that?"

Wang Ping'an snorted coldly, gave chase again, still not using the Flying Sword to kill, but instead continued to use Ghost Wall on Shu Mu.
