Chapter 410: Are You the Lu Yang Who Even Dared to Beat Up the Judges?

Brother Zhao was an experienced wanderer in the martial world. Unlike Miss Ye of the Ye Family and Miss Wenren of the Wenren Family, who were venturing out for the first time, Brother Zhao had been traveling for two to three years and was the most seasoned among the three.

But he never could have imagined that among the three of them, he’d be the only man!

How was he supposed to continue his life with this kind of revelation?

Lu Yang patted Brother Zhao on the shoulder, trying to offer some comfort.

Brother Zhao didn’t feel comforted in the slightest.

His Living Corpse was better—at least it would never deceive him.

Miss Ye’s eyes turned red, and she looked at everyone with reluctance. “I left home with my family’s permission, but they insisted that I couldn’t reveal my identity as a woman. If I did, I’d have to go back immediately.”

Originally, she had thought that even if her identity was revealed, it would be worth it if she could confess her feelings to Brother Wenren. If Brother Wenren accepted her, she could have brought him into the Ye Family, and they could have enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury together.

But now it seemed she had been too optimistic.

Not only had her identity been exposed, meaning she had to return home according to the rules, but she had also failed in her confession and was rejected on the spot.

Her face flushed with embarrassment. Even if her family didn’t require her to return home, she would be too embarrassed to stay any longer.

Miss Wenren had a similar expression, reluctantly saying goodbye to everyone, her voice low. “I’m from the Wenren Family in Liangzhou. My situation is similar to Miss Ye’s. The family elders said my ring is a top-quality spiritual treasure that absolutely cannot be seen through unless I reveal my identity myself. Now that I’ve exposed myself, I have no choice but to return home.”

When Lu Yang asked, “Which one of you three is disguised as a man?” her face had also changed dramatically. She thought Lu Yang had seen through her disguise, so she was just about to remove her ring and confess her feelings to Brother Ye. But unexpectedly, Brother Ye beat her to it, revealing her own secret first. She was one step too slow.

Though in the end, the result was the same.

Lu Yang had heard a bit about the Wenren Family of Liangzhou. The Wenren Family was a branch of the Barbarian Tribe that had split off, changed their surname to Wenren, and moved to Liangzhou.

If one had ever traveled near the Western Regions, they would find many people with bronze-colored skin.

In truth, Miss Wenren might even be related to Barbarian Bone.

“You’re from the Wenren Family?”

“I was second in the sect competition,” Zhao Po corrected Lu Yang.

“It’s all the same. Let’s go—up ahead is my brother, Meng Jingzhou. You’ve probably heard of him.” Lu Yang chuckled, surprised to run into someone from the Corpse-Driving Sect here. This saved him quite a bit of trouble.

Zhao Po’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected that the random person he’d met on the road would turn out to be the famous Lu Yang, with the equally renowned Meng Jingzhou just ahead.

Although, with Lu Yang showing up, his little group had fallen apart.

“Wasn’t there supposed to be some great cultivators fighting up ahead? Can we pass?”

“What great battle? Old Meng has been cursed. Any woman who comes near him will stay far away. That’s why you couldn’t move forward!” Lu Yang laughed out loud, finding humor in the situation.

Zhao Po was visibly startled by the curse. “There’s a curse like that? Did it come from the Seven Emotions Valley? But that doesn’t make sense; wouldn’t they be too afraid to curse anyone from your Dao Seeking Sect?”

“It’s complicated. We came to the Desolate Lands to resolve this issue.”

The two of them arrived at the location of the carriage. By now, the rain had stopped, and the skies had cleared. Meng Jingzhou had already cleared the path blocked by the mudslide and was currently enjoying a barbecue.

“Haha, Old Meng, I’m back! I’ve been through quite a bit on the way here. What? You’re asking what happened? Well, let me tell you all about it!” Without waiting for Meng Jingzhou to actually ask, Lu Yang launched into a detailed recount of his adventures.

“Let me tell you, you really missed out. After I left, I first encountered two noble ladies being kidnapped, and I heroically saved them. They even offered to marry me as thanks. Then I ran into a female knight escorting goods, and she was being robbed. Of course, I saved her too, and she was so grateful that she hinted I could marry her at her security company. Then, I stumbled upon a martial arts competition for marriage. I have to say, the girl was quite beautiful.”

“When I got to a nearby city, I saw a local bully harassing a woman in the street. Do you think I could just let that happen? Of course not! I immediately stepped in, beat up the bully and his father, and made their entire family submit. The woman even said she had no way to repay me and wanted to marry me as well.”

“Tell me, how is it that my journey has been so eventful? Old Meng, don’t you think?” Lu Yang shook his head, looking as if he still hadn’t had enough of his adventures.

Meng Jingzhou’s eyes were red with jealousy.

Zhao Po stood silently to the side, thinking to himself. If a fight broke out between the two, should he stay out of it or step in to help?

He’d heard that both of them were at the Early Golden Core Stage, and he was at the Early Golden Core Stage as well. If a fight did break out, he should be able to break it up, right?
