Chapter 143 - 114: Brother Changfeng, Saber Madman Hua Youran

Chapter 143: Chapter 114: Brother Changfeng, Saber Madman Hua Youran

Lu Changfeng, for his part, did not hide his identity.

He stated frankly that he was Lu Changfeng of the Nine Heroes of Jiangnan.

"So you’re Lu Changfeng of Jiangzhou!"

"A hero who resisted Daliang!" Hua Hu cupped his fists toward Lu Changfeng with great admiration.

Many years had passed, but the reputation of the Nine Heroes of Jiangnan had not faded.

Instead, their status had been elevated even higher now that Daliang Country was at war with Jiangnan Prefecture, slaughtering more and more of its people.

All the people of Jiangnan Prefecture believed that if the Nine Heroes of Jiangnan hadn’t won the martial arts exchange tournament back then, this war would have started three years earlier.

At that time, Daliang had been fully prepared while Jiangnan Prefecture was completely unaware. The situation would likely have been even more dire than it was today.

It was nothing like the present, where they had been able to make corresponding preparations.

After Daliang launched its surprise attack, the Jiangnan Prefecture Martial Arts Army was quickly formed to resist them.

Aside from the two who had died, the people of Jiangnan Prefecture could name every one of the other Nine Heroes of Jiangnan.

Guo Xiaotian, the Bone Refining Realm expert among the Nine Heroes of Jiangnan, was now serving as a Commander in the Jiangnan Prefecture Martial Arts Army.

"Young Master Lu, are you returning to Jiangzhou on this trip?"

Lu Changfeng nodded slightly. "There’s no rush. I’ll stay in Qin City for a day or two first. To be honest with you, Senior Hua Hu, this junior has just had a breakthrough and needs to stabilize my current Realm."

"That makes sense. I remember that during the martial arts tournament, you fought in the Blood Forging Realm, Young Master Lu. You must have just broken through to the Tendon Transformation Realm, right?" Hua Hu said with sudden understanding.

Lu Changfeng gave a noncommittal smile and didn’t explain further.

"Miss, for such a heroic figure, we should invite him back as a guest."

"I’m sure the Patriarch and the young masters would be extremely delighted," Hua Hu said, turning his head to speak to Hua Yiran inside the carriage.

For the first time in Lu Changfeng’s presence, Hua Yiran spoke, her voice clear and crisp, like that of a young girl. "Yes. Young Master Lu, when you arrive in Qin City, you must come visit the Hua Family."

Lu Changfeng smiled. "Since Miss Hua has invited me, it would be disrespectful to refuse."

Lu Changfeng pulled up the interfaces for Hua Yiran and Hua Hu.

Hua Hu’s interface was unremarkable: a B Class+ Root Bone and zero Talent.

’The fact that he could become a Grand Martial Artist must be largely thanks to the Hua Family’s influence.’

Hua Yiran’s interface was as follows.

Name: Hua Yiran

Root Bone: Lower A Class

Talent: Middle Grade Talent [Light Body], Low-Grade Sword Technique Talent.

Hua Yiran was currently at the Blood Forging Realm Fourth Level.

Compared to an ordinary person, her Root Bone and Talents could be considered genius-level.

She was even slightly better than the first person whose Root Bone Lu Changfeng had copied back in Feng City—the number one genius of Thundercloud Martial Arts Hall.

Back then, that guy only had a Lower A Class Root Bone worth copying, and no Martial Talents whatsoever.

But now, Hua Yiran had two Martial Talents.

’As expected of a once-glorious Martial Arts Family.’

’The inherited Root Bone is truly outstanding.’

’Once I get to Qin City, my copy interface should be about to refresh.’

’Then I’ll be able to meet the many scions of the Hua Family. Maybe there’ll be a surprise waiting for me among them.’

Along the way, Lu Changfeng also made a conscious effort to converse with Hua Yiran.

A young girl’s heart is easily stirred. Hua Yiran already had a favorable impression of the handsome Lu Changfeng.

After learning that he was one of the Nine Heroes of Jiangnan, her heart fluttered even more.

As they became more familiar through conversation, she gradually began to proactively ask Lu Changfeng about the Daliang Country martial arts exchange tournament.

Lu Changfeng was a decent storyteller, and he recounted the events vividly. Moreover, at the time, he had used his interface to probe everyone’s information.

So now, his retelling made it feel as if one were actually there. Hua Yiran, also a Martial Artist, was completely captivated, letting out frequent cries of surprise.

Because of this, Hua Yiran no longer found the journey through the wilderness boring at all.

Gradually, the sky grew dark.

Hua Hu prepared to stop the carriage and make camp.

The wilderness between the two prefectures was vast, and Demon Beasts occasionally appeared at night.

Although Demon Beasts couldn’t compare to the true Demon Fiend Race, they still had the blood of the Demon Race flowing through them. Their strength was extraordinary and they were not to be taken lightly, so caution was always warranted.

Therefore, Hua Hu had always traveled with Hua Yiran by day and camped by night.

Of course, mere Demon Beasts posed no threat to someone in the Rebirth Realm. Previously, Lu Changfeng and Bai Touweng had traveled day and night without stopping.

Now, for the sake of Hua Yiran and Hua Hu, he naturally also camped in the wilderness at night.

Thus, the journey to Qin City, which should have only taken two more days, ended up taking a full four days to complete.

On the fourth day at dawn, the two carriages emerged from the wilderness. Streams and villages gradually began to appear by the roadside.

No longer was it a desolate wasteland.

This indicated that Lu Changfeng had entered the territory of Qin City in Jiangnan Prefecture.

In these four days, Lu Changfeng’s only gain was acquiring a fangirl. ℯℯ𝘭.

"Brother Changfeng, we’re in Qin City! This is my turf. When we get there, I’ll show you around!"

Having finally left the wilderness, Hua Yiran was also extremely excited.

Lu Changfeng smiled and nodded. "That would be great."

"Oh, right, Brother Changfeng! My Seventh Brother, Hua Youran, is a big admirer of heroic figures from the Martial Arts Realm. When we get to Qin City, I’ll introduce you to my Seventh Brother first, and then the three of us can explore the city together!"

Being a young girl, Hua Yiran’s train of thought was quite flighty, and she had already changed her plan.

Lu Changfeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but he simply nodded slightly.

"The Patriarch has seven sons and one daughter. Youran and Yiran were born to the same mother, so they are especially close," Hua Hu explained quietly from the side.

Lu Changfeng nodded with a look of understanding.

"Hee hee, my other brothers are great too. Since you’re coming to my home as a guest, Brother Changfeng, you’ll naturally get to meet them as well," Hua Yiran said with a laugh.
