Chapter 1098: New and Old Forces

Lu Chengwen breathed a sigh of relief and was grateful to God that he survived.

He wiped his tears, nodded gratefully, and slowly backed away.

Medicine Elder said, "Ah... this... Lu Chengwen is indeed a disciple of Tian Gang. Tian Gang founded the sect and has three disciples. The eldest disciple is Long Aotian, and the second disciple is him, Lu Chengwen. There is also a kid who seems to be Zhao Ritian or something. Anyway, it's very confusing."

Nan Ji Xian Weng also said: "As the second disciple of Yan Zhao Sect, Cheng Wen is a bit naughty, slick, vain, lustful, eccentric, rude, and fence-sitting...but his nature... is very rich."

Lu Chengwen nodded:

【I thank you. 】

The fisherman said, "Don't look at him without pants. He usually wears pants. He only takes them off occasionally when he's picking up girls. Cheng Wen, don't you think so?"

Lu Chengwen asked, "Why are you bringing this up? Are you going to show your face?"

Lu Chengwen was embarrassed: "Actually, I rarely pick up girls..."

Several family heads looked at each other, and Jiang Shang felt a little depressed.

This incident happened in a strange way, and Lu Chengwen was the root of the trouble. Everything was suppressed by the five old men, and they could do nothing. Isn't it too embarrassing for the Jiang family?

Feng Gong was thinking, oh? Singing can save me from death?

He cleared his throat, came closer, and said to Jiang Shang: "Love - and justice -"

Jiang Shang glared at him and threw up his sleeves: "Get the hell out of here!"

Feng Gong fell more than ten meters away in an instant, landed on the stone bricks with a thud, and spit out blood.

Jiang Shang pointed and said, "Lock up this disgusting bastard! A running dog who stirs up trouble! A slick and lowly fellow!"

Jiang Shang was scolding Feng Gong, but he was glaring at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen nodded, understanding.

This old guy really can't find anyone to vent his anger on.

……

The three old men were welcomed into the house, and the Jiang family gave them the highest level of reception and provided them with a banquet!

Jiang Shang is a loss!

I won't give you any pants! I'll let you attend the dinner with your butt naked! You'll lose face for your master Hun Tiangang!

Lu Chengwen understood what was going on after being interrupted once and diverted from the topic twice.

Forget about the pants, Lao Deng did it on purpose.

The five old men also knew that Jiang Shang was deliberately making things difficult for Lu Chengwen, but they didn't say anything.

They have already given enough face. The three old men standing here are forcing the Jiang family to bow their heads.

Don't go too far. You have to give the Jiang family a way to vent their anger.

Well, the three of us must have some dignity and cannot let you take it out on us. Only Lu Chengwen is a junior, so we have to put up with you!

Lu Chengwen knew in his heart that none of these two groups of big shots treated him as a human being.

But in my current situation... I can only endure it.

Jiang Shangsun!

He insisted on taking Lu Chengwen to visit the Jiang Mansion.

He held Lu Chengwen's hand and said, "Chengwen, since you are Senior Tiangang's disciple, you are a distinguished guest of our Jiang family. Jiang Shangfei respects your martial arts and skills, but respects your school and your master."

Lu Chengwen thought, if you really respect me, why don't you get me a pair of pants? Is it difficult?

Good fellow, he also introduced to Lu Chengwen the masters of the Jiang family, the masters of the Xia family, the Bai family, the Mo family, the managers of the Jiang family, as well as the cooks, the night watchmen, the maids, the gardeners, the masters...

He grabbed one of Lu Chengwen's hands and paraded him through the streets for public display.

The other hand could only keep pulling at the clothes, fearing that the only dignity would fall to the ground.

Everyone in the Jiang family greeted him with a smile.

"Oh, Senior Tiangang's disciple! He is indeed extraordinary, Bai!"

"I never thought that Senior Tiangang finally has a successor. Judging from his skin color, I know that Brother Cheng Wen will definitely be famous in the world in the future!"

"Everyone, come and see, this is Senior Tiangang's top disciple!"

Especially some female maids and old women... they looked at Lu Chengwen and smiled from a distance.

Jiang Shang took Lu Chengwen for a walk, and when he felt relieved, he pulled him back.

"Cheng Wen, sit down."

After Lu Chengwen sat down, he started to snort.

[Lao Deng, you can't afford to offend the five old men, so you make fun of me. I'll remember this! You just wait!]

Jiang Shang regained his face and the banquet began.

Jiang Shang took the lead in proposing:

"Today is a happy day for our Jiang family! It is an honor for our family that the three seniors, Medicine Master, South Pole Immortal Master, and Diao Master, have come to our humble home. It is also a great honor for our family. The heads of the Mohist, Xia, and Bai families have also come to celebrate together. It is truly a gathering of heroes. All the heroes in the world are here! Hahahaha, oh, by the way, there is also Mr. Cheng Wen, the disciple of Senior Tiangang, who has also come. Jiang Shang is honored. Cheng Wen, is the chair cold?"

Lu Chengwen laughed awkwardly: "Not bad... not bad."

"Your butt isn't frozen, huh?"

Everyone is laughing.

The old medicine man raised his glass and said, "Today's incident was caused by my recklessness. The head of the Jiang family has given me enough face. I will use this glass of wine to make amends."

Jiang Shang immediately said, "Oh, senior! We dare not drink this glass of wine. Haha, it is a blessing for our Jiang family that you can come to our Jiang family to drink a glass of wine! How dare we drink the wine you offer as an apology? It is not right, it is really not right!"

Medicine Master said, "Hey, I hate being polite! I don't care about the title of the Fifth Elder, nor do I care about the face of the seniors. If you live for 200 years, you should drink and admit your mistakes! This glass of wine is for the Jiang family, Jiang Shang, you drink it for the Jiang family!"

Jiang Shang smiled awkwardly: "Senior, you are free and easy, generous and broad-minded. Since that is the case, I dare not disobey you, so I will drink this cup boldly."

On the surface, these people seem to be in high spirits and chatting happily, but in fact, they represent two camps.

One is the current camp in power.

The powerful group mainly composed of the four major families.

They are powerful and influential, and all the formal ancient martial arts sects, families, and organizations across the country are subject to their management and control.

It can be said that they have strength in numbers, great power and strong abilities, and most of them are in their prime and young age, full of youthful vigor.

The Jiang family's attitude towards Yao Weng and others is actually the mainstream attitude.

It's like: I know you're powerful, I know you're famous, I know you're ruthless. But you're just a skinny old man, not many years left.

The meaning of your existence is to let the younger generations respect you and give you face. We respect the old and love the young, so don't push your luck.

It's best to live in peace. If things really go wrong, even if you have supernatural powers, I will still tear your bones apart and feed them to dogs.

Of course, it’s best not to provoke someone if you can.

Although they are old, their strength is still there. Although the influence of the five old men is close to zero, the threat they pose is something that no family can ignore or underestimate.

The other is the five old men, who were prominent figures of the old times.

Hun Tian Gang, Ming Di Sha, Qi Cai Ni Huang, the Five Old Men... they are all legendary figures who have disappeared for many years.

Until now, many people in the Jiang family have never even heard of them.

It has been so long that people in the martial arts world have even stopped bothering to spread their legends. Because in the decades since they disappeared, the martial arts world is still bustling, with newcomers emerging in large numbers, grudges and grievances continuing, wonderful dramas taking turns to be staged, and countless legendary stories...

But the older people know very well that if any of the five old men stand out, no matter whose door they stand at, their family will be afraid, or rather, you should be afraid.

The same thing - because he is strong!
