Chapter 40: Temptation
"Congratulations, Congratulations, Wu Shenquan is indeed very talented, has strategies, and methods. In just a few days, he has been promoted from a commoner to an official! I think he will be able to have a smooth life in the officialdom in the future!" Hu Fan said.
Come over, congratulations.
"You're welcome, Mr. Hu has contributed a lot to this kid's luck!" Wu Bufan bowed and greeted him with a smile, as if he didn't have any grudges at all.
"Wu Shenqin is too modest. Wu Shenqin is young and promising. He will definitely be promoted to a high official in the future, and he will rise to the top!"
"Rewards, no awards, Mr. Hu is just the same, but he is already a Yangzhou city guard in his twenties, so he is young and promising. I still have to learn a lot from you."
"Where, where, but since you and I are so like-minded, why not let Hu be the host and how about we have a drink together?"
"No, no, how can I invite Mr. Hu to invite me as a newly promoted great catcher? It's me who invites you, I invite you."
"No, no, no, I'd better invite you. I'll invite you. When Wu Shen is overjoyed, Hu should express his sincerity."
"Okay, okay, let's go to the restaurant then! Let's go, everyone, Mr. Hu is treating us today, and we should all go and enjoy it!"
Huh? You should postpone it a little longer! Hu Fan's eyes narrowed, but when he turned around, he saw Wu Bufan calling out to friends in his own name and leading a large group of people to the restaurant.
This bastard!
Laishang Restaurant and Laishang Inn are chain businesses of the Yangzhou Laishang Chamber of Commerce, and consumption there is not cheap.
Hu Yifan clutched his wallet in pain.
"Oh, my junior brother is just restless!" Su Yuqi looked at the shouting crowd of Xuanxuan and couldn't help laughing and scolding her junior brother.
"Are you, my senior sister, okay now? Fengping County is also in a state of turmoil because of you!"
The jade-faced scholar's teasing voice suddenly appeared behind Su Yuqi.
"Master!" Su Yuqi said in surprise. Then she thought about the jade-faced scholar making fun of herself, but refused, "Master, you are making fun of others!"
The jade-faced scholar was slightly stunned, why had his great disciple changed his personality just a few days after he left?
But when he saw Wang Liang following Su Yuqi, he felt clear again.
"Join the jade-faced scholar!" Wang Liang saluted quickly.
"Okay, your talent is worthy of my disciple!" the jade-faced scholar joked.
"Master! What did you say!" Su Yuqi was so shy, but her master didn't care and ran away with red cheeks.
"Yuqi, wait for me!" Wang Liang bowed to the jade-faced scholar and chased after Su Yuqi.
The jade-faced scholar smiled lightly, but his eyes were looking at the group of people going away. He even penetrated the crowd and saw the proud Wu Bufan in the crowd!
At nightfall, Wu Bufan walked into the Yamen with one step at a time. He was obviously a little drunk, and his body was full of the smell of rouge and alcohol. It was obvious that Wu Bufan and others had done nothing good after the restaurant and went somewhere to have a good time.
Bah!
The sound of a sharp sword sounded in the air, and a thin sword seemed to pierce the air, heading straight towards Wu Bufan.
Ding!
Wu Bufan was unprepared, and the tip of the sword struck Wu Bufan's abdomen first. However, there was a clang, and the tip of the sword seemed to have pierced some metal object, but it could not penetrate at all.
"Ah! Who is it?"
Wu Bufan suddenly woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.
"This kid really doesn't know how to do martial arts!" The jade-faced scholar appeared in front of Wu Bufan, and he understood clearly when he saw the arrest warrant exposed on the lapel of Wu Bufan's arms.
What the jade-faced scholar himself said was a test, but it also contained a bit of murderous intent. If he were a warrior, he would not be able to hide his martial arts under the threat of his life. However, Wu Bufan showed no reaction at all.
The jade-faced scholar didn't use much strength, and he just stabbed the god's arrest warrant. He was injured for at least several months.
How did the jade-faced scholar know that Wu Bufan was not unresponsive, but that he was drunk and did not respond at all!
How did Wu Bufan know that if he went home after drinking wine, he would have to guard against someone assassinating him!
"Master, Master!" Wu Bufan woke up and saw the jade-faced scholar facing him with a sword. For a moment, he thought he was exposed and wanted to kill him!
But then I thought about it, and it was impossible. If the ancient supernatural power wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago. Can the metal clone covering my body withstand his sword?
Naturally, that sword was not the arresting order that struck Wu Bufan, but the metal clone armor that Wu Bufan had used for self-defense earlier. The metal clone had the ability to control metal, so it could cover some of Wu Bufan's key positions at all times, like liquid metal.
The armor will not affect Wu Bufan's actions at all.
"Have you not practiced the Blood Demon Art yet? Why, you are so complacent after you have made some achievements?"
The jade-faced scholar pretended that the sword strike just now was to test Wu Bufan's cultivation progress, but Wu Bufan, who calmed down, knew that he was definitely testing his martial arts just now.
My handling of the case revealed some details this time, which made the jade-faced scholar suspicious.
But fortunately, he was really drunk just now. If Wu Bufan was even remotely prepared, he might have used his energy to resist!
"Master, master, it's not that Bu Fan doesn't practice, it's that I think there's something wrong with this blood evil technique!"
"Is there a problem?" The jade-faced scholar was moved in his mind, "What's the problem?"
"Disciple feels that this exercise book seems to be a fragment! It is not complete. If you practice it casually, something may go wrong!"
Wu Bufan said half-truthfully.
The jade-faced scholar's eyes shrank. He never expected that Wu Bufan could actually see that there was something wrong with this technique.
But then I thought about it, Wu Bufan has those two weird eldest and second brothers, it is not surprising to see them, but the origins of the two eldest and second brothers are unknown, the jade-faced scholar actually made people pay special attention to the whereabouts of these two people, but
When he went to pursue the two of them in person, they were nowhere to be found, so he had to give up.
"Bring the book to me and look at it!"
Wu Bufan wiped his cold sweat secretly. The jade-faced scholar's unintentional murderous intention just now almost scared Wu Bufan to death.
He was thinking a lot in his mind, but his hands were not slow in his movements. He took out the Blood Demon Jue in his arms and showed it to the jade-faced scholar.
The jade-faced scholar pretended to look at it a few times, then put the book away.
"There are indeed some problems with this book. It's because I didn't read it carefully. I just gave it to you because it was a blood path technique suitable for you. That's all. Take this book and practice it first. I will find some more after a while.
I will teach you the Blood Path Technique again!"
"Thank you, Master!" Wu Bufan thanked him and took the volume from the jade-faced scholar.
What I received in my hand was a high-grade yellow-level skill, Huobeng Fist, a fire-attribute skill, with basic skills and a set of fire-attribute boxing skills.
The boxing skills are not ordinary. Although they are not as good as Xuan-level skills, they are still passable.
After bidding farewell to the ancient magic power, he finally returned to his room in fear. As soon as he closed the door, Wu Bufan collapsed on the ground.
Wu Bufan now understands what it means to accompany a king like a tiger, and what's more, Wu Bufan is accompanied by a dragon with a tiger skin that can bite a giant elephant in one bite!
"Fortunately, we weren't discovered!" Wu Bufan took a deep breath.
Chapter completed!
