The next morning, Han Changsheng and An Yuan bid farewell to Zheng Feng-er and set out for Kunlun Mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It would take about half a month to get to the foot of the Kunlun Mountain from where they were. After about ten days of walking, they weren\u2019t far from the mountain. It was then that they ran into more people from the Wulin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Wulin Conference was held every three years. It was a grand event for the entire Wulin. Every <\/span>outstanding sect<\/span> in the Jianghu sent people to attend. As a token of their importance, the leaders and elders with high moral standing often attended. Some smaller sects that were unknown or newly established would also sharpen their heads and join in. If anyone made an eye-catching performance at the Wulin Conference, their sects or the individuals could become famous with a single stroke. Those who called themselves lone rangers or who didn\u2019t care to communicate with other sects also attended the event, since it was a good opportunity to make friends.<\/span><\/p>

Just because of its importance, although it was still a month early, many sects arrived in advance.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng asked An Yuan, \u201cHave you ever attended the Wulin Assembly before?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cNever,\u201d An Yuan said, \u201cI seldom left Yuehua Mountain before now. The first time I\u2019ve gone to many places is when I\u2019ve traveled with you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWere you not your master\u2019s favorite disciple?\u201d Han Changsheng asked, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t he take you out?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Leaders of all the sects in the Wulin Assembly often brought a couple disciples with outstanding martial arts talents or other outstanding skills with them. In the Wulin Assembly, some sects conducted friendly duels. If their own disciples won, they would naturally face the sect leader.<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng had been in the Yuehua Sect for a while. Among the disciples of this generation, An Yuan had the most talent. The rest were of a rotten cabbage gang, not worth mentioning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan glanced at Han Changsheng and said, \u201cI\u2019m younger. My Shifu took the eldest martial brother to the Wulin conference three years ago. Shifu intended to take me while letting Elder Shanhua manage the sect\u2019s internal affairs. But before I left, the elders mistakenly ate poisonous wild vegetables and fell ill. The sect leader left me to take care of the elders in his absence. Afterward, he still took the elder martial brother, instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Jokingly, Han Changsheng said, \u201cSuch bad luck, why didn\u2019t he leave Li Jiulong behind?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan said, \u201cThe elder brother is unreliable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Stunned, Han Changsheng laughed, \u201cYes, there\u2019s a lot to do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

After so many years of being in the Tianning Cult, Han Changsheng had sneaked out to play. Anyone available at the time would be tasked to search for him, except for Luoxin. Only Luoxin didn\u2019t leave the mountain. He was so reliable, the Tianning Cult couldn\u2019t be without his management.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan sighed and said, \u201cThings happened to coincide. I once suspected that the elder martial brother intended to do it. To make the headmaster take him to the Wulin conference, he would have to leave me behind. But, there\u2019s no evidence, so there\u2019s no point crying over spilled milk.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng gave a surprised look at An Yuan. \u201cTo you, it\u2019s just a Wulin assembly.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan shrugged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng asked, \u201cWell, have you not left the Yuehua Mountain much before now?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan thought for a moment and said, \u201cYes. Since I was led to the Yuehua Mountain by the headmaster when I was a child, I seldom went out. I met you the last time I came down from the mountain.\u201d Then he asked Han Changsheng, \u201cDo you often wander in the Jianghu?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng immediately puffed up his chest. \u201cOf course, I\u2019ve traveled all over the world. What famous mountains and great rivers? I\u2019ve seen enough to be tired of them!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan blinked, showing envy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In fact, Han Changsheng had scarcely left the Tianning Cult at all. Every time he left, he was dragged back in less than a month. This was the longest time he\u2019d been away from the mountain alone. The things he saw most were the small brooks and hills under the Xiushan Mountain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In fact, he was an indecisive character. When he heard of the mountains and rivers described in books, he wanted nothing more than to see them with his own eyes.\u00a0 He learned different sect\u2019s skills when he was young, and since then, he wanted to challenge another master at their own sect and demand a fair fight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Unfortunately, he never made it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Not that the Tianning disciples wouldn\u2019t let him go, but in the past, his martial arts were poor and his temperament was unruly. Whenever he went out, Lu Baibi and Lu Qingqian were bound to follow him. However, they never intended to hide their identities. When the leader of the demonic cult went out, it caused public anger. Xiaoqiang and Xiaobai couldn\u2019t handle it if he was attacked.<\/span><\/p>

If he wanted to leave the mountain, he had to bring a bunch of talents with him, which usually meant many people. It was annoying and hardly free. So, in fact, he didn\u2019t play outside much.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This time, besides investigating Huangfu\u2019s family, Han Changsheng, himself, was curious to see the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Seeing that An Yuan was a little lonely, Han Changsheng clapped his chest and said, \u201cI will take you out in the future and we\u2019ll walk to all the interesting places under the sky!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan laughed and said, \u201cDoes your bad brother have any objections to that?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The brother An Yuan meant was the man Han Changsheng made up. Han Changsheng\u2019s face had changed to that of Hua Xiaoshuang, who was close to An Yuan. He let Lu Qingqian and Lu Baibi have a good relationship with An Yuan to pave the way for the future. <\/span>In the future<\/span>, An Yuan would attack the Tianning Cult. Originally, this was Han Changsheng\u2019s fate, alone. He didn\u2019t want to involve anyone else. Therefore, since he left the Yuehua Sect, he had changed his mind to make plans for the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng only said, \u201cHe only cares about Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai, not me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan glanced at him and asked, \u201cWhat kind of relationship do you have with that big brother?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng said, \u201cHe is a bad young man. Except for being handsome, he is evil from head to toe. He has caught many good people to do things for him. He forces them to do all the bad things they do.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan frowned after a while, then asked, \u201cYou talk about him as though he is bad, but you never forget how handsome he is. How handsome is he?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng calmly glanced at him. \u201cHe\u2019s more handsome than you.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan: \u201c…\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a noise from the front. An Yuan pulled the veil from the straw hat covering his face, saying, \u201cGo have a look.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

They waved their whips and sped up, soon arriving at the source of the sound.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Before them was a tea pavilion. At the door of the pavilion, a group of people was in a noisy conflict. Several people were watching the commotion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Several men in uniform surrounded a simple middle-aged man in cloth. His face didn\u2019t look good. The leader\u2019s disciple pushed the middle-aged man, aggressively shouting, \u201cYou stinky thief, how dare you try to steal the Rongshan Sect\u2019s horse in broad daylight! What sect do you belong to? Report your name!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng frowned when he heard the name of the Rongshan Sect. This sect was very famous in the Jianghu for its fist techniques. It was said to be the first fist sect in the Jianghu. The middle-aged man wore a short knife around his waist and a zither on his back. <\/span>Looking at his framework, h<\/span>e was also a martial artist, but he didn\u2019t seem to be very good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The middle-aged man blushed and said, \u201cI\u2019m not a horse thief! You blood-spitting man!”<\/span><\/p>

\u201cHa?!\u201d The disciple cried, \u201cWith so many eyes watching, dare you say you\u2019re not a horse thief? Our magnificent Rongshan faction can still be wronged. Can\u2019t you succeed on your claim?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All around them, people shouted, \u201cThat’s right! You stole the horse!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng and An Yuan saw several horses tied at the gate of the teahouse. They all had uniform saddles on their backs, bearing the Rongshan crest. They had to belong to the Rongshan Sect.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

All the horses were tied to posts with ropes, except one. He seemed to be a little anxious. He held his head down and snorted, pounding his hooves to the ground. One of the Rongshan disciples picked up his rope and tried to tie him up again. The middle-aged man suddenly pushed away the man beside him and rushed to the horse, shouting, \u201cLet it go!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Suddenly pushed by the man, the eldest Rongshan disciple had to be held back by his martial brothers before he could stand up steadily.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In a rage, he rushed up and grabbed the middle-aged man\u2019s collar, shouting, \u201cStinky thief, you planned to run away after being caught red-handed. Today, I will teach you a lesson in the name of heaven!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The middle-aged man struggled hard so he could rush to the horse led by the Rongshan Sect disciples. \u201cYou let go of the poor child, you\u2019ll torture him to death!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cPoor child?\u201d The Rongshan disciple in charge of the horse looked around and saw no such child. Then, he looked at the horse in surprise and said, \u201cYou mean this beast?\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Angrily, the middle-aged man said, \u201cThe child is overdrawn. You must let him go to the mountain and have a rest. It\u2019s the only chance to save him. If you try to ride him again, he won\u2019t live through the day!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

There were hissing sounds all around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The eldest Rongshan disciple sneered and said, \u201cOh, so you can examine and judge a horse? If you want to say that my horse is the best horse for thousands of miles, that\u2019s enough. If you want to say he\u2019ll die today, I won\u2019t believe your evil nonsense. Even those who examine the sick won\u2019t dare to say such big words. Stealing a horse is stealing a horse, and you pulled this ridiculous lie. What I hate most in my life is not a thief, but a liar!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The middle-aged man couldn\u2019t help his continuous struggling, desperately trying to break away from the man who was holding him. \u201cLet go of me, what I say is true. You must let go of this horse immediately. I\u2026 I\u2019ll give you money. I\u2019ll buy this horse!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cWhat money?\u201d The eldest disciple asked.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The middle-aged man looked embarrassed. \u201cI\u2026 I have no money! I\u2019ll give it to you later!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan, not far away, saw the farce in his eyes and shook his head. \u201cRegardless of whether or not he told the truth, it\u2019s not right to let someone else\u2019s horse go without telling them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Lacking interest, Han Changsheng said, \u201cLeave them alone, let\u2019s go.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Just then, the eldest Rongshan disciple pulled the middle-aged man around the crowd and said, \u201cToday, you will be a witness. We, the Rongshan Sect, have some status in the Wulin. Our master taught us to punish the evil and promote the good. According to the rules of the Rongshan Sect, he who catches the thief will break the hand they stole with. And, if he catches the swindler with flamboyant speech, he will face ten lashings.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u201cToday, this thief stole my horse in full view of the public and lied about it. Today, I will break his right hand to dispose of the commoner\u2019s evil!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng knew the Wulin people were very Jianghu-minded. He liked to behave according to his own rules and never worked as an official. To calm the people, the government often turned a blind eye to the actions of the people in the Jianghu. The people of the Rongshan Sect caught the horse thief, so they\u2019d punish him with their own rules.<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan frowned. \u201cIt\u2019s not right. If that man\u2019s story is true, it would be too harsh to break his hand.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The eldest disciple held the middle-aged man\u2019s right hand and raised it high. He made a fist with the other hand, ready to fight. He could hit the middle-aged man\u2019s arm with this blow and break the man\u2019s arm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Just then, a pellet flew over and hit the eldest disciple\u2019s hemp tendon. His arm immediately lost strength and fell to his side. It was An Yuan that acted in a hurry and shot the pellet to save the man.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cYou\u2026\u201d An Yuan wanted to step forward and speak, but Han Changsheng stared at him and rushed forward first, \u201cStop it! You bullies!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan, whose lead he stole, was stunned.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The Rongshan disciples didn\u2019t expect anyone to stop them. They immediately stared at Han Changsheng with their covetous eyes and put out an attack. \u201cYou two!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m on my own! I don\u2019t know that guy over there! I shot the pellet. I just can\u2019t stand you oppressing the people!\u201d<\/span><\/p>

An Yuan was so surprised he couldn\u2019t close his mouth. He nearly forgot to come forward. What was this situation?<\/span><\/p>

However, at that time, Han Changsheng\u2019s heart secretly pinched a cold sweat. Beginning from the Mingyue Sect, he paved the way for An Yuan\u2019s future. Although Han Changsheng was from the demonic cult, he knew that if one wanted to be the leader of the Wulin, one had to serve the public. This Rongshan Sect was a big sect. If An Yuan offended all these people, he\u2019d undoubtedly set a stumbling block for himself in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One thousand, ten thousand percent unwilling, Han Changsheng could only condescend to be the great hero who helped in the face of injustice. He couldn\u2019t get on with it. He really had no face to get on with it in the wicked world!<\/span><\/p>

Hearing what he said, the Rongshan disciples withdrew their gaze from An Yuan and turned all their attention on Han Changsheng. \u201cWhat are you talking about, you bastard? We are punishing the horse thief!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Han Changsheng sneered. \u201cAh!\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
