Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

In Lianhua Town, Lianhua County, which is the closest restaurant to the lake, Qiao Rui and Liu Xinyue found a window seat on the second floor. They ordered a pot of old wine and three or four signature dishes, and chatted while appreciating the beautiful view of the blooming lotus flowers all over the lake outside.

There were a few tables of guests sitting sparsely on the second floor, mostly chatting about gossip in the alley or some trivial matters, such as which naughty kid peeked at Widow Liu taking a bath and was beaten up by his parents; which wild boy lost his chicken and found a lot of chicken feathers at the door of his neighbor's house, and as a result, the neighbors who had been friends for many years became enemies and fought each other; and there was also a rich family who was said to have been robbed and a lot of gold and silver jewelry was stolen, and his husband insisted that his wife had taken it to her parents' home, and the quarrel was getting out of hand.

Qiao Rui looked at the scenery outside the window and chatted casually with Liu Xinyue, telling her about the interesting things that happened when he was in school. Occasionally, he also observed the other diners and listened to their gossip.

Soon, the waiter came with wine and food, poured a bowl of wine for each of them, said, "Enjoy your meal, sirs," and left.

Qiao Rui picked up the bowl and took a sip. It was sweet and sticky, a bit like the Qingming wine he had drunk before. Thinking it would have a strong aftertaste, he told Liu Xinyue to drink less.

Liu Xinyue tasted two sips of the wine and found it delicious, so she couldn't help but drink a few more sips. After eating for a while, her face turned red, as bright and beautiful as a blooming peach blossom, making people salivate.

Qiao Rui was about to persuade her not to drink anymore, but Liu Xinyue suddenly laughed and said, "We're going to ride horses later. Does that count as drunk driving?"

Qiao Rui couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said, "I was driving under the influence, and you were also driving without a license, so you both have to be detained..."

As we were eating, drinking and joking, we suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. Looking out the window, we saw a circle of people watching the fun not far from the lake. In the middle, there were several men surrounding a woman.

"Could it be that a young playboy is molesting a decent girl in broad daylight? This is exactly what I, a female knight, want to do to fight evil and protect the good. I'll be back soon!" Liu Xinyue was drunk and slammed the table. Without waiting for Qiao Rui to reply, he picked up his sword and jumped out of the window, running towards the crowd.

"This silly girl..." Qiao Rui jumped out of the window before he could sigh, quickly chased after her, squeezed into the crowd, grabbed Liu Xinyue, and motioned her to take a look first.

The two squeezed into the inner circle and saw four men opposite them. The young man in the lead was wearing brocade clothes and holding a folding fan, fanning himself gently, looking like a romantic young man. The other three were wearing short clothes with their chests and abdomens exposed, looking like thugs and servants. Opposite the man stood a pretty young woman, she was wearing a coarse linen dress and had a bun on her head, she must have been married, she was carrying a basket with a few small wine jars in it.

Seeing the people in the field clearly, Qiao Rui was slightly startled, and whispered to Liu Xinyue: "I know both of them. They were my classmates. The man is called Lu Yanjun and the woman is called Wen Shuyan. I heard that their families live not far from each other and they have never gotten along well since they were young."

"Oh?"

Liu Xinyue stared at Qiao Rui strangely for a while, which made Qiao Rui confused. He asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why are there beautiful women you know everywhere? Is there some story between you two? Are you hiding something by explaining it so proactively?" Liu Xinyue said mischievously.

"I don't have a damn thing on my mind. I'm just an ordinary classmate!" Qiao Rui glared at Liu Xinyue and explained, "I'm just afraid that you'll be as suspicious as you were last time with Tian Jing, asking me all kinds of questions. That's why I'm taking the initiative to tell you so that you won't be suspicious again afterwards!"

"Who is suspicious? Who is overly concerned? It's so inexplicable!" Liu Xinyue ignored Qiao Rui, turned around and looked at the field again, her face full of joy that she couldn't stop.

At the Lotus Lake, Lu Yanjun and three servants surrounded Wen Shuyan. At this time, Lu Yanjun put away his folding fan and said to Wen Shuyan coldly: "Why can others buy your wine, but I can't?"

"I brew my own wine. I can sell it to whoever I want, and I won't sell it to whoever I don't want. What does it have to do with you?" Wen Shuyan said expressionlessly. Her eyes were cold and filled with anger.

"Hehe, Shuyan, I just see that your life is hard and want to help you," Lu Yanjun said in a different tone.

"No need!" Wen Shuyan refused decisively.

"you......"

"What do you mean? Get out of the way. A good dog doesn't block the road!" Wen Shuyan waved her hand in annoyance, asking Lu Yanjun to get out of the way like she was chasing away a fly.

"You bitch, you have disliked me since I was a child. In the past, you were pretty, good at studying, and had a good family background. So many people in the school liked you, so I tolerated your dislike for me. But now your family is in that situation, why do you still look down on me?" Lu Yanjun finally lost his patience and shouted angrily.

"Just because you are a good-for-nothing bastard, a parasite who lives on food and waits to die." Wen Shuyan finally couldn't help but burst out, "Besides your family background, what else do you have? When you were a child, you were stupid and dumb, and always complacent. I was extremely disgusted with you at that time. When you grew up, you were greedy and lustful, and you always came to provoke me and tangle with me. Now my family has suffered a great disaster, and you came to you these two days to pretend to comfort me, but in fact you wanted me to submit to the status quo so that you can have whatever you want. Do you think I don't know what kind of tricks you are up to? Do you think I haven't heard about how many girls you have ruined over the years? Do you think I don't know that my husband was beaten by your people?" She had a cold face and spoke sternly at the end.

"Okay, okay! You don't want to accept my toast, so you ask for a punishment? Today, not only will I buy your wine, I will take your person too! Someone, take her away for me!" Lu Yanjun was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face turned pale.

When the thugs around saw the young master speaking, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward to take Wen Shuyan away. The onlookers and passers-by whispered and said, "Who is this? So arrogant!"

"You may not know this, but this is Lu Batian's son. Yes, that's the Lu Batian from 'Lu Bancheng'!"

"Isn't that too lawless?" "If this girl falls into the hands of that little bully, she will be in trouble!"

Some people were sympathetic, some were watching the fun, and some were indignant, but no one dared to step forward.

"Stop! You're robbing people in the street in broad daylight. Is there any law?" A delicate shout was heard, and a woman walked out from the crowd. It was Liu Xinyue.

"Oh, here comes another beauty. Let's take her away together. I'll let you ignorant people know that in Lianhua Town, Lianhua County, my Lu family is the law!" When Lu Yanjun saw Liu Xinyue, his eyes lit up and he said jokingly, causing the thugs he brought with him to make a fuss.

"Mr. Lu is very lucky today, let's kill two birds with one stone..."

"Haha, let them know about Master Lu's prowess..."

"Little girl, if you have any grievances, just go find our Master Lu. He will definitely make the decision for you..."
