However, as soon as the Well-Known Young Master opened his mouth to reprimand everyone’s actions, the Wudang Sect disciples pointed at him and scolded him.

“What does a new apprentice disciple who just joined Wudang know!”

“What a joke. Zhang Wuji isn’t wrong? The one who gave birth to him is the demoness of the Heavenly Eagle Cult, Yin Susu. His foster father is the demon cult’s bloodthirsty and merciless Golden Fur Lion, Lu Xiexun. Do you think he’s innocent? Is he not in the wrong?”

“A child made the five great sects came to Wudang Sect to force Fifth Martial Uncle to commit suicide. What rights do you have to protect him?”

Immediately after, in the mind of the Well-Known Young Master, the game sprite’s notifications sounded continuously.

[Game Notification: Wudang Sect’s Song Qingshu has -50 favorability towards Player Well-Known Young Master.]

[Game Notification: Wudang Sect’s Dingyan Yuhang has -30 favorability towards Player Well-Known Young Master.]

[Game Notification: Wudang Sect’s Zhou Qi has -20 favorability towards Player Well-Known Young Master.]

“…”

[Game Notification: Player Well-Known Young Master has -100 favorability in Wudang Sect, Player will now be neutral, 10% reduction in EXP…]

Upon hearing this, the Well-Known Young Master was stunned on the spot. His expression was blank, and in the next second, his complexion was like iron.

He was planning to do things out of the norm, and if he was lucky, he might gain something unexpected. Who knew that helping Zhang Wuji would actually cause the sect’s favorability to drop?

The Well-Known Young Master was a member of an aristocratic family. He gritted his teeth and turned to stare at Zhang Wuji, as though he was looking for some consolation.

He had stood up for Zhang Wuji and was scolded badly by the Wudang Sect. How could they not arrange a reward? Or trigger a hidden quest?

However…

Only then did he notice that Zhang Wuji glared at him with a face full of hatred. Subsequently, Zhang Wuji got up and walked away.

He actually left…

What the hell was going on!

[Game Notification: Zhang Wuji has -100 favorability towards Player Well-Known Young Master.]

When suddenly hearing the game sprite’s notification, the Well-Known Young Master staggered and almost fell.

No… He had gone through so much trouble and spent all those saliva, but he did not receive any rewards, instead, he received negative favorability from so many people?

The Well-Known Young Master was helpless, his head was dizzy, and he really wished he could just faint.

Lu Xuan did not speak from the beginning to the end. He looked at the Well-Known Young Master, who was trying his luck, and could not help sneering.

In all fairness, the Well-Known Young Master had a good eye for people. He knew that Zhang Wuji had something special about him, but there was a problem with his method. Not only did he fail to please Zhang Wuji, but he was even hated by Zhang Wuji.

Actually, this wasn’t in the novel. Zhang Wuji was kind-hearted and cared the most about friendship. But the Well-Known Young Master could have mentioned anything, but he talked about Zhang Wuji’s father doing something wrong. That was the reason for Zhang Wuji’s hatred.

At this time, the Well-Known Young Master had probably been blacklisted by Zhang Wuji.

Ah, what a joke. Experimenting rashly without understanding the development of the plot. If he didn’t go to hell, who would?

“In the end, I have to make an appearance and let everyone understand how a transmigrator who knows the content of the novel deals with it.”

Lu Xuan couldn’t help but laugh. He walked out from the crowd and looked around. After confirming Zhang Wuji’s location, he immediately went over.

Lu Xuan stared at Zhang Wuji’s figure from afar. He walked out of Mount Wudang and stopped at the town below the mountain.

After a while, Lu Xuan followed Zhang Wuji into a bustling street. Zhang Wuji stopped on the street and stared at the hawkers selling candied hawthorn. He stood rooted to the ground for a long time before sighing helplessly and preparing to continue walking.

With both his parents forced to commit suicide, Zhang Wuji didn’t have anyone to rely on and didn’t have any money. He was even struck by the Mystic Underworld Divine Palm of the Mystic Underworld Twin Elders. Although the luck of the main protagonist was present, it had not taken effect yet. As a result, his life was tough. He could only watch helplessly at the candied hawthorn stick, but couldn’t buy it.

“Hey, brother, it seems like you like eating candied hawthorns too.” Lu Xuan quickly came to his side and patted Zhang Wuji’s left shoulder with a smile.

Zhang Wuji turned around slightly and sized up Lu Xuan who suddenly appeared. He couldn’t help but ask warily, “Who are you?”

“My name is Lu Xuan. I’m a new apprentice disciple of the Wudang Sect.” Lu Xuan was all smiles as he revealed his true identity.

“Alright… Why did you come to Wudang Sect?” As if influenced by Lu Xuan’s words, Zhang Wuji asked curiously.

“Brother, let me tell you. My father used to be an armed escort. During one of his escort jobs, he was obstructed by bandits and was seriously injured. At that time, the Wudang Sect’s Fifth Hero Zhang appeared and saved my father. Therefore, my father told me that if I were to practice martial arts in the future, I must definitely go to Wudang Sect. I have always admired Fifth Hero Zhang’s chivalry and righteousness, so I came to the Wudang Sect.”

Lu Xuan’s eyes shone with admiration as he spoke. Some tears welled up in his eyes, but he tried his best to suppress them. This expression of emotions was definitely the work of an Oscar Winner!

Lu Xuan knew Zhang Wuji’s character, which was why he used emotions and knowledgeable reasoning.

With his acting skills, the Oscar Award for Best Actor was his!

When Zhang Wuji heard that, he knew that Lu Xuan was the child of his father’s acquaintance. His originally vigilant expression immediately changed. After all, he definitely could not let others know that he was carrying the secret of the Dragon Saber.

“How has your father been recently?” Zhang Wuji asked with some worry.

“Sigh… In the end, it didn’t last long. My family left this world a long time ago…” Lu Xuan sighed with sorrow.

He had transmigrated here and entered this future world. Wasn’t that the same as being an orphan without any relatives?

“Brother… Sorry, Wuji is too rash.” Zhang Wuji frowned slightly and cupped his hands in apology.

“Wuji?” Lu Xuan pretended to be deep in thought.

“Yes, my father is the Wudang Fifth Hero, Zhang Cuishan. It’s fate that we met today.” Zhang Wuji said in a forthright manner.

“Ah… Brother is actually the child of my benefactor. Forgive me for my rudeness.” Lu Xuan bowed slightly and cupped his fists.

“Brother Lu Xuan, there’s no need to do this. Both of us are orphans.” Zhang Wuji paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and changed the topic. “Brother Lu Xuan, you like eating candied hawthorn too?”

When Zhang Wuji said this, his face was suffused with embarrassment.

“Back then, when my mother was still alive, I was riddled with sickness. Every time I caught a cold, my mother would buy candied hawthorn for me to eat. She told me that after I ate the medicine… I can eat another mouth of candied hawthorn. I would only be able to taste… sweetness…” Lu Xuan tried his best to force out his tears, but to no avail. He didn’t care anymore, with a wave of his sleeve, he pinched the flesh on his thigh. Tears instantly blurred his vision.

When Zhang Wuji heard this, he couldn’t help but sniff. Lu Xuan’s words made him yearn for his mother, Yin Susu, and recalled all sorts of bitter memories from the past.

“Brother Wuji, let’s not talk about sad things. From today onwards, I’m your big brother. I’ll treat you to candied hawthorn.” Lu Xuan grinned and placed his hand on Zhang Wuji’s shoulder. He went to the peddler to buy two sticks of candied hawthorn and handed one to Zhang Wuji.

“Take it.” Lu Xuan wore a sincere smile..
