Gals at the Red Sleeves Pavilion indeed match up the reputation, multi-talented and pretty with sweet voices.

After Lu Yuan went to listen to a song, he felt as if he was floating in the air, entranced.

All his previous feelings of loneliness and melancholy vanished when he returned.

“Miss Xiaoyu danced with her clothes off, and I had to force myself to resist. It was really uncomfortable.”

On the way back to Yangmei Town from Fu City, Lu Yuan still felt a little embarrassed when he remembered the look in Miss Xiaoyu’s eyes last night. Althouqh Xiaovu zentlv nezotiated and didn’t sav anvthinq after beinz rejected, the feeling of sympathy and doubt could not be concealed.

Being doubted for one’s capability, especially by a beauty, is no doubt a great shame for a man.

But the thing is, he couldn’t say anything.

“Clearing up the misunderstanding, though making people feel even weirder. But proving my competency is undoubtedly more important.” Lu Yuan confirmed this and then concentrated his thoughts, no longer thinking about such amorous matters.

Love affairs are not comparable to the temptation of martial arts and strength.

As said before, going to the Red Sleeves Pavilion was just for relaxation on his adult birthday.

Real happiness in the long run should come from practicing martial arts and feeling constantly stronger, which gives far more thrill than anything else.

This is what makes people get addicted.

Snowflakes fluttering and icy wind howling.

In the blink of an eye, the ground is covered with a layer of snow.

This year, winter came around in early November.

In the courtyard, after cleaning up last night’s accumulated snow, Lu Yuan, with an uplifted mood, practiced his Palm skill again.

Palm shadows flew, accompanied by the sound of the strong wind, a skillful palm technique was easily employed.

“It took me a month to perfect the Skyfall Technique. Now, I have mastered five palm techniques. I’m one step closer to completing the eighty-one palm techniques. ”

As Lu Yuan tidied up his moves and calmed his energy, he glanced at his attribute board and nodded approvingly.

Since starting to study the Taoist Classics, Lu Yuan’s learning speed has increased dramatically as he deepened his understanding of the Daoist classics.

Not only is he able to grasp the essence of various palm techniques much faster, but he can also master a new technique in no time.

Now, he can learn a new palm technique every month.

At this rate, it will only take five to six years to learn the remaining 76 palm techniques.

By then, his Cloud Palm martial arts technique will likely reach perfection before his Internal Cultivation Method.

Lu Yuan, of course, is pleased with this.

What makes him even happier is that in the past two months, he has opened up two more meridian points, leaving only four in the Hand’s Taiyin Lung Meridian.

Both palm techniques and inner strength have progressed rapidly. Nothing could be more satisfying than this.

“Huh, it’s almost noon. It’s the end of the year, more merchants are coming and going. It’s time to go to the tavern for lunch and get some news from the outside.”

At this point, his energy has calmed down. Lu Yuan looked at the time, and without further practicing, he prepared to go out for a meal.

After a busy morning, he felt a bit fatigued and hungry. It was the right time for a break.

Walking through the street where he lived, greeting familiar neighbors, Lu

Yuan headed towards the main street.

When he reached the street corner, suddenly a loud noise came from the entrance of the town, attracting many pedestrians to gather there.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan’s attention was piqued.

He stopped one of the townspeople going to the entrance and asked, “What’s going on? Why are so many people heading to the entrance of the town?” The one he stopped was the rice shop owner in the town.

He then put on his professional smile and said, “Lord Lu, you didn’t know? Today is the day Scholar Sun returns to our town. He is the first juren (imperial examination title) to come out of our town in twenty years. This is a manifestation of the literary star and glory to our ancestors.”

“Now that Scholar Sun is coming home, everyone has heard the news and is rushing to greet him, hoping to benefit from his scholarly aura.”

Perhaps with this stroke of fortune, my own son could become a Scholar too!” The Rice Shop Owner was excited and proud.

“Scholar Sun…” Upon hearing this title, Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, “Is it Sun Siwen?”

The Rice Shop Owner nodded, ‘Yes, it is your good friend, Sun Siwen. Lord Lu, you truly are exceptional. Back then, none of us could see Sun’s abilities and potential.

Only you became friends with him.

We even laughed at you back then, but who would have thought that in just a couple of years, Sun would become a juren.”

Becoming a juren means he can be an official now. An official like Sun is now in a different league from us commoners.”

The Rice Shop Owner wore a look of envy and longing.

Lu Yuan loosened his grip on the man’s hand, who, seeing that Lu Yuan had no more questions, didn’t linger any longer and followed the growing crowd towards the entrance of the town.

“Brother Sun has become a Juren.”

Lu Yuan stood still, recalling the news, his emotions a mixture of surprise and awe.

He hadn’t forgotten the two conversations he had with Sun Siwen before Sun left for the examination. In the first, Sun mentioned that one of his ancestors was a cultivator and spoke of a dream message. In the second conversation, Sun gifted him a jade piece.

Over the past few months, Lu Yuan had greatly benefited from the jade piece’s effect.

His ability to open his meridians and increase his Inner Strength so quickly was thanks to the jade piece’s pure power.

The latter had been proven effective and was indeed a treasure from the immortals.

So, was what Sun Siwen said about the message from his dream coming true?

“So that message from the dream, was it really from Brother Sun’s ancestor, the one who helped him become a Juren?”

Lu Yuan felt a surge of excitement mixed with a touch of fear.

Immortals are to mortals as humans are to ants.

Even the slightest contact with such a being could be incredibly dangerous.

An ant coming close to a human hand, even if the human had no intention of being malicious, the slightest touch could deprive the ant of its life.

At this moment, Lu Yuan felt like an ant approaching a human.

He longed to make contact with an immortal, yet feared being harmed by their unintentional actions.

Especially since he was unsure whether Sun’s ancestor had kind or malicious intentions towards him, this made him even more apprehensive.

“In the end, it’s because I’m too weak.”

After a roller coaster of emotions, Lu Yuan finally calmed down a bit and sighed helplessly.

He was still too weak.

If he were strong enough, he wouldn’t have to worry about so many things and could just try to make contact directly.

On the other hand, if he were truly strong enough not to care about any of this, would he still be interested in Sun Siwen’s connection to the immortal world?

That was also an unknown.

“Forget it, don’t think about all that. I don’t have the strength to explore it now, so I won’t. Right now, I’m just a good friend of Brother Sun.

As his friend, how could I not congratulate him on becoming a Juren?” Lu Yuan shook his head and cast away the distracting thoughts.

He then followed the flow of people towards the entrance of the town.

He was actually quite curious to see the grand entrance of the Juren’s return to his hometown and wanted to witness it for himself..
