The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun

Compared to his appearance, his temperament is even more outstanding.

Could it be that this is also for my Xin'er to participate in the martial arts contest to find a husband?

Zhao Tianlai thought to himself.

To his surprise, the boy did not stop after stepping onto the stage. He continued walking towards the stands until he sat down in another spot. Without saying a word, he plunged his sword into the ground.

Bang!

The sword sheath sank into the wooden blewout of the grandstand.

This action made Zhao Tianlai's eyes narrow.

He suddenly realized that the boy's intentions were not what he had thought.

"May I ask who you are? Are you also here to participate in the martial arts contest for a husband?"

Faced with Zhao Tianlai's polite inquiry, the young man remained indifferent and did not respond to a word. He simply rested his hand on the armrest and gently tapped it.

"Ok??"

Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Tianlai and Young Master Li frowned, wondering what this person meant.

Just as Zhao Tianlai was about to continue his questioning, footsteps sounded again from below the arena. Zhao Tianlai's gaze was subconsciously drawn to them, and when he looked down, his eyes immediately narrowed.

"Zhao Tianlai."

Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhao Tianlai and the other three on the stands with a calm expression, but it seemed as if flames were surging within them.

That was anger.

Chapter 338: Feel free to come find me

"It's you?"

The moment Zhao Tianlai saw Lin Pingzhi, his pupils contracted sharply before returning to normal.

"So it's Pingzhi's nephew."

Zhao Tianlai showed a hint of surprise and said, "When did you arrive in Luoyang? Why didn't you tell me?"

Zhao Xin'er and her mother were startled when they saw Lin Pingzhi, but they calmed down immediately after hearing Zhao Tianlai's words.

Mother Zhao smiled kindly and said, "Ping'er, you were injured when you came to my house last time. Are you better now?"

Zhao Xin'er also said, "Brother Lin."

Is this Lin Pingzhi?

Upon hearing this, the young nobleman narrowed his eyes and sized up Lin Pingzhi.

She truly has a beautiful appearance.

Seeing the way the father and his two daughters were so concerned about him, Lin Pingzhi felt nauseous. However, he did not confront them, but instead went up to the stands and came to the boy's side.

"Senior brother."

Senior brother?

Upon hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Zhao Tianlai looked at the boy with surprise.

This young man looks younger than Lin Pingzhi, but he's actually his senior brother?

However, Zhao Tianlai's attention was not on this at the moment; a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

Lin Pingzhi called this young man "senior brother," so the other party must be from the Huashan Sect. Judging from the other party's expression, he doesn't seem to have any good intentions.

Could it be that the Huashan Sect has come to Luoyang?

A sense of unease suddenly welled up in Zhao Tianlai's heart.

"Make way, make way, don't block my view of the show."

A voice rang out from the crowded crowd below the arena.

At this moment, Chen Lanjin finally squeezed to the front and looked at the situation above, her heart filled with excitement.

"So you're from the Huashan Sect, young hero. My apologies for not recognizing you sooner."

Zhao Tianlai reacted quickly, a smile on his face.

Regardless of what the other party wants to do, he tries to remain calm.

Just as Zhao Tianlai was about to speak, Jiang Ning spoke up.

“Some time ago, Junior Brother Lin and I sent Uncle Cheng to Plum Sword Manor. You coveted Junior Brother Lin’s family sword technique, the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and tried to drug and kill him. I’m here today for this matter.”

Jiang Ning spoke with a cold expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlai's heart tightened.

The other party is here to cause trouble.

Drugging? Hunting down?

Upon hearing this, the young master Li couldn't help but look at Zhao Tianlai.

Upon hearing Jiang Ning's words, Zhao Tianlai's face turned ugly. Just as he was about to explain something, Jiang Ning held up two fingers.

"I'll give you two choices now."

"First, I want to see all those who have been involved in this matter commit suicide on this stage within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

"Second, I'll do it myself."

Jiang Ning remained calm, but the chilling intent in his words was unmistakable.

His voice wasn't loud, but everyone in the stands could hear it clearly, including the ordinary people and martial arts practitioners watching from below.

Everyone was in an uproar.

So direct?

"what."

Zhao Tianlai was so angry he laughed.

Both of the other party's choices lead to their death, so does it make a difference which one they choose?

Who do you think you are? You think you can just kill me whenever you want?

Zhao Tianlai sneered.

"He is Ning Yama!"

At this moment, Chen Lanjin, standing below the ring, put her hands to her mouth and shouted.

Ning Yanwang?

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tianlai's gaze sharpened, and he looked Jiang Ning up and down with some disbelief.

So young?

Some of the onlookers who knew Ning Yanwang, the King of Hell, turned pale upon hearing this.

Who is Ning Yanwang?

A clueless commoner said something in bewilderment.

The person next to him who recognized him explained, "He is a newly emerging master of the righteous path. He is not yet twenty years old, but his martial arts skills are already among the top masters in the martial arts world today. Although he comes from the righteous path, he is an extremely dangerous person."

"Danger?"

The commoner was surprised.

If he is a master of the righteous path, then why is he in danger?

"That's right, it's dangerous."

The martial arts expert who offered the explanation looked solemn.

"This man is young, but he is ruthless. He has been in the business for less than three years, but he has made evil people tremble with fear. Countless evil people have died at his hands. It is said that even the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect was chased by him and fled in a sorry state. So far, all the evil people who have encountered him except for the Holy Maiden have been killed by him without exception."

"so smart?"

The commoner was speechless.

"But that's not the most important thing."

At this point, the martial arts expert's expression became even more solemn. He said, "The key point is that this man is extremely bloodthirsty. If he wants to kill you, no matter how much you beg for mercy, he will not let you go."

"It is said in the martial arts world that if the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, who would dare to keep you alive until dawn? This is Ning Yama."

Hearing these words, the commoner finally realized Jiang Ning's power and looked towards the arena, saying, "So, does that mean Master Zhao is going to die this time?"

"hey-hey."

The other martial arts figures chuckled coldly, "He coveted someone else's Evil-Repelling Sword Manual, and now his senior brother has come knocking on his door. It was even King Ning who specifically ordered his death. Who can protect him now?"

They had all heard why Jiang Ning wanted to kill Zhao Tianlai.

There was much discussion below the stage, but complete silence on the stage.

Zhao Tianlai could hear the whispers of the common people and martial arts practitioners below. At this moment, his palms were sweating and his back felt cold.

Looking at the boy not far away, Zhao Tianlai had no doubt about his identity.

Given the current situation, the fact that Lin Pingzhi dared to come to his door to settle accounts means that Jiang Ning's identity couldn't be faked.

His wife and Zhao Xin'er were trembling.

"I think……"

Zhao Tianlai spoke unconsciously, his voice hoarse.

"There might be a misunderstanding, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Pingzhi had already taken out an incense stick from his pocket, lit it, and stuck it on the wooden table.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianlai's expression turned even uglier.

"Is there no room for maneuver?"

Jiang Ning did not speak again.

After a long time.

Zhao Tianlai's face turned pale, and his voice was filled with despair: "I was wrong about what happened back then. I was bewitched and blinded by the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. I am willing to pay the price for this, but can you please spare my wife and children?"

Jiang Ning had previously said that everyone involved in the plot to seize the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual should commit suicide. His wife's advice, Zhao Xin'er's efforts to extract information and administer drugs all fell within this scope. Zhao Tianlai wanted them to live.

Jiang Ning didn't respond at all, his attitude was self-evident.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianlai turned his gaze to Lin Pingzhi.

“Nephew Pingzhi, we were wrong before. I am willing to die, but please, please spare your aunt and Xin’er. They are women after all.”

Lin Pingzhi's face was cold and hard.

Cheng Buyou almost died protecting him and is still recovering from his injuries on Mount Hua.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianlai asked anxiously, "Do you really not care about the relationship between our two families?"

"hehe."

Before Lin Pingzhi could say anything after hearing this, some people in the audience laughed disdainfully.

"You're shameless! When you were chasing after others, you didn't care about your relationship at all."

Someone, eager for a good show, shouted something.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The others burst into laughter.

Their laughter was extremely grating to Zhao Tianlai's ears, but he was more concerned about what the two people opposite him thought.

However, he was disappointed, as neither Jiang Ning nor Lin Pingzhi responded to his words.

"Brother Li."

Zhao Xin'er looked at the young master Li with a look of fear and pity, her expression full of supplication.

Seeing the pleading look in the eyes of the girl he admired, Young Master Li finally spoke to Jiang Ning.
