After leaving Lingbo Cave, Lufeng returned to Wuhua Altar.
Seeing Lufeng back, Zhao the Master quickly congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations, Young Hero Lufeng, on becoming a member of the Eight Major Sects. In your future adventures in the martial world, you will learn more skills within the sect. Joining the family of the sect will make it easier for you to carve out a place for yourself in the martial world."
Lufeng smiled honestly and replied, "Thank you for your kind words!"
"During our time together, I have already seen your potential and quality. Dali City can no longer hold you back; it's truly hard to part with you. I hope you can make a name for yourself in the martial world. I have already informed Cui Fengjiu, the owner of the Waystation; he will take you to wherever you wish to go," Zhao the Master said reluctantly.
"Thank you, Master!" Lufeng sincerely accepted this mission—[Grand Jianghu].
Mission Objective: Find Cui Fengjiu, the owner of the Waystation [1253,1211].
"Hey? Young Hero Lufeng, why aren't you leaving?" Zhao the Master asked in confusion when he saw Lufeng still standing there.
"I'm waiting for a friend; there's no need for you to worry about me!" Lufeng gestured politely.
"Alright, take your time!"
At this moment, Lufeng was unaware that he had become a highlight of Dali City. Most of the Sister Papers passing by waved at him and couldn't take their eyes off his outfit, pointing and whispering. The male players looked on with jealousy and resentment; if it weren't for Zhao the Master standing beside him, the Sister Papers would surely have been unable to contain their excitement, and the otaku would have rushed forward to snatch his clothes without hesitation.
Before long, Wang Xiaojing joined Beggar's Sect. As for why she chose the beggar profession, Wang Xiaojing had her own dreams: she wanted to learn Beggar's Sect's Dog-Whipping Stick Technique and Eighteen Palms of Subduing Dogs like Uncle Qiao, to deal with those who kept staring at her.
Soon after, a slightly delayed Wang Xiaojing arrived at Wuhua Altar. From a distance, she saw Lufeng wearing the same outfit as hers and felt furious. She ran up to him, her chest heaving with anger, instantly attracting countless gazes from otaku and wealthy handsome men alike. The otaku generally belonged to the underdog category; in reality, they wouldn't dare openly pursue Sister Papers, but in-game they were like wolves. The wealthy handsome men's weaker physiques couldn't compete with the otaku's boldness and were pushed to the back.
"Tell me why you're wearing the same outfit as me! Are you trying to pull something? Let me tell you, you're now part of my studio; don't think you can get ahead just because you're close by. I'm not your moon!" Wang Xiaojing glared at him fiercely, her chest rising and falling even more dramatically. Other players gaped in awe, afraid of missing this beautiful spectacle.
"I was thinking..." Lufeng was taken aback by her words and was about to retort when he was interrupted by Wang Xiaojing.
"You can't even think about it! Do you think just because you want to wear what I wear that you can? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You're just an underdog; do you really think I'd be interested in you?" Wang Xiaojing continuously mocked him, clearly still holding a grudge against Lufeng for taking her position as captain.
Wang Xiaojing's public insults not only slapped his face but also trampled on his dignity. Lufeng was furious—completely furious: "Enough! You are simply unreasonable!"
Seeing Lufeng on fire, Wang Xiaojing was stunned: "You... you, is this how a subordinate speaks to their boss?"
Lufeng didn't want to argue and intended to turn and leave, but a group of people blocked his way.
"Hey, brother, I've caught you! Flirting with a beauty in public, you've got some guts," Laugh at My Madness laughed heartily. He had just joined Starry Lodge and was back at Wuhua Altar to take on a mission when he saw Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing bickering.
One of Laugh at My Madness's greatest hobbies was chasing after beautiful women. His motto, "Awake to the world's power, drunk on the beauty's lap," was wildly ambitious, and he arrogantly believed that "others laugh at my madness, I laugh at their inability to see through it." However, his pride was backed by his achievements; the Mist in the Jiangnan he established later was quite powerful in its own right, but that's a story for another time.
Recognizing the newcomer, Lufeng felt no worry. It was common knowledge that PKs were not allowed in the city; everyone on Earth knew that. He said nonchalantly, "So it's you, Laugh at My Madness. We have no grudges from the past or present; what brings you here?"
"You seem to forget quickly. Since our parting at Wuliang Mountain, I've missed you quite a bit," Laugh at My Madness said as he raised his hand, intending to slap Lufeng's face.
Lufeng blocked his arm and shrugged: "Oh really? I'm flattered that you think of me!"
Wang Xiaojing wasn't someone who couldn't tell right from wrong; she could see that Laugh at My Madness wanted to use numbers to bully Lufeng and stepped in front of him: "Who are you? What do you want? Lufeng is mine; don't think about bullying him."
"Your... person?" Laugh at My Madness emphasized 'your.'
Wang Xiaojing realized her slip of the tongue but didn't want to argue with this strange and lewd guy: "Yes, he's mine. Get out of my way!"
"Haha, Wang Xiaojing is still so fierce! But... I like it. Tsk tsk... 36e, huh!" Laugh at My Madness leered at Wang Xiaojing's chest without restraint.
Wang Xiaojing thought she could ignore all the lewd gazes but couldn't withstand Laugh at My Madness's blatant stare. Feeling as if she were undressed, she quickly covered her chest with her hands and glared angrily: "How do you know my name? And put away your lewd eyes."
"I know everyone on the B University School Flower Ranking. Ahem... forgot to introduce myself. I'm Laugh at My Madness, loved by all and admired by flowers. I pass through crowds without a trace. Are you starting to fall for me? I'm the future leader of Mist in the Jiangnan, haha..." Laugh at My Madness laughed boisterously.
Wang Xiaojing's righteous help moved Lufeng somewhat. Regardless of whether there were city guards or not, he stepped forward and kicked Hit Laugh at My Madness between the legs.
"Run!" After hitting his target, Lufeng grabbed Wang Xiaojing's hand and dove into the crowd.
"Oh~ ah~"
Although Laugh at My Madness didn't lose health points, over 70% of the pain made him collapse to the ground.
"Boss~" the five little brothers following Laugh at My Madness said in fear.
"Ah~ What are you all still doing? Stop him for me~" Laugh at My Madness said with annoyance.
"Yes! Brothers, follow me!"
...
At this moment, Wang Xiaojing was filled with mixed emotions. Just a moment ago, she had been cursing at Lufeng, but now she was being pulled along by him. The two of them were wearing the same outfit, giving off the impression that they were a couple who had just argued and reconciled. Thinking about how Lufeng had bravely kicked Laugh at My Madness for her sake made her feel inexplicably touched, and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
After dodging Laugh at My Madness's lackeys, Lufeng and Wang Xiaojing arrived at Yun Piaopiao's back garden, creating a romantic atmosphere reminiscent of young lovers meeting secretly.
"You... what's wrong?" Seeing Wang Xiaojing's flushed face, Lufeng asked with concern.
"Nothing... I'm just tired from running, let's take a break!" Wang Xiaojing said shyly, as if she had transformed into a different person from before.
Lufeng shook his head, too lazy to deal with this spoiled girl, feeling quite troubled by her unpredictable moods.
