Chapter 8: Don't Chase the Enemy
"Young Master Chu! Don't chase the desperate enemy!" Zhu Danchen, as a veteran in this world, shouted very professionally.
Chu Lu Ren pretended to be tangled, frowned slightly, and then spoke: "Okay, let's send Taoist Yuxu back to Dali City first. "
Originally, with Yun Zhonghe's lightness skills, even if he couldn't defeat Chu Lu Ren, he could just leave if he wanted.
Not to mention that Yun Zhonghe's lightness skill is better than Chu Luren's, and in terms of internal strength... even the over-indulgent Yun Zhonghe is much stronger than Chu Luren!
During the fight, Yun Zhonghe's internal energy was greatly consumed because of "Kun Traveling in the Void". If the fight really continued, he would definitely be the first to run out of energy. However, if you run away and I chase you, I'm afraid Chu Lu Ren would be the first to run out of internal energy.
It was impossible for the Chu Lu people to chase after him...
Zhu Danchen's shouting of this sentence only confirmed that Chu Luren was "more skilled" and he just cared about the safety of the female relatives, so he did not pursue further!
"Princess, we cannot stay here for long. If it were not for the help of Young Master Chu, I am afraid I would not be able to protect you. Moreover, it is rumored in the martial arts world that many masters of Yipintang have already arrived in Dali... I dare to ask you to return home!" Zhu Danchen requested Dao Baifeng.
"I am a monk, how can I have a mansion? You take Yu'er and leave quickly, I will stay here." Dao Baifeng's face was still cold.
Seeing his mother's reaction, Duan Yu immediately started to act like a spoiled child: "Mom, if you don't leave, I won't leave either. I'll stay here with you and see if the people from Yipintang can capture us all!"
"You..." Dao Baifeng could lose her temper with Duan Zhengchun and turn her face away from Zhu Danchen, but she couldn't bear to see her son in danger, especially since she had just met Yun Zhonghe. She didn't insist anymore, packed up her things, and went back to Dali City with everyone else.
Chu Lu Ren was still worried about whether he would run into a master from Yipintang on the way, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering Dali City.
Although Dali is a small country, the royal Duan family is also a well-known martial arts family in the world.
Especially the current Emperor of Dali - Duan Zhengming, who is not only the best fighter of the Duan family, but also... he was also the master who fought with Wang Chongyang, Ouyang Feng, Hong Qigong, and Huang Yaoshi on Mount Huashan twenty years ago. He is known as the "Southern Emperor"!
Compared to Duan Zhengchun back then, Duan Zhengming's eighth place on the Heavenly Ranking is still quite valuable.
Moreover, this is a world of martial arts after all, not a world of immortals or fantasy. Even old man Zhang Sanfeng cannot resist the army.
Duan Yu is the prince of Zhennan, and the Dali Emperor Duan Zhengming has no children. Duan Yu is most likely the future monarch. As soon as the group entered Dali City, they were greeted by the people lining the streets. This also shows that the Duan family must have been "packaging" Duan Yu for a long time.
When they arrived at the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion next to the imperial palace, Chu Luren, as Duan Yu's savior, was treated with high standards of courtesy. However, he did not meet Duan Zhengchun and Duan Zhengming right away, because it was the time for their family to reunite. Chu Luren could understand that, so he rested in the side hall with Mu Wanqing.
Compared to the Chu Lu people who were used to seeing magnificent things and novelties in their previous life, Mu Wanqing was curious about everything she saw in the palace.
Chu Lu Ren just glanced at it a few times - it had some "antique charm", but in terms of grandeur, it was not as good as the lobby of the bath center he had visited in his previous life...
Of course, Chu Lu Ren did not think that Mu Wanqing was rude. Instead, he felt a little sympathy for her - although they were both descendants of the Duan family, Mu Wanqing had suffered a lot since she was a child!
Soon, a young eunuch came running over and called out, "Dear guests, the Emperor invites you."
"Miss Mu, let's go together." Chu Lu Ren called out to Mu Wanqing.
The young eunuch did not lead the way to the palace, but went to the main hall of the Zhennan Palace. It seemed that Duan Zhengming went directly out of the palace and came to the palace... This was not surprising, after all, the palace of Dali was not considered a deep inner court, and the two brothers often visited each other.
Although Mu Wanqing was not nervous about the imperial power on the way, she was a little "disrespectful" because of the scenery of the palace. For example, when she saw a big golden chrysanthemum, she wanted to pick it, but was dissuaded by the young eunuch.
This is the right dissuasion!
A "naughty kid" is uneducated and must be stopped, but... thinking about the fact that this "naughty kid" is uneducated just because the owner of the palace is uneducated, Chu Lu Ren felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, before Chu Lu Ren traveled through time, he was also born in the Singularity Orphanage...
When they arrived in front of the main hall, Chu Lu Ren suddenly stopped and did not move no matter how the young eunuch called out to him.
"Master Chu, what are you doing..." The young eunuch was a little scared, wondering if this gentleman was dissatisfied with something.
Chu Lu Ren straightened his voice, clasped his fists towards the hall door, and said loudly: "I am a stranger in the martial arts world. I wonder if the person in the room is the emperor of Dali or the head of the Dali Duan family?"
The eunuch who led the way was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He had no idea what Chu Lu Ren was up to. He kept his head down and dared not raise it until a loud and powerful laugh was heard from the hall.
"Hahaha, since you are friends from the martial arts world, there is no Dali monarch in the room, only the Dali Duan clan. Come in quickly, little brother!"
Chu Lu Ren then stepped forward and pushed the door open, realizing that the person who spoke should be Duan Yu's uncle Duan Zhengming.
Apart from a little temper, Chu Luren asked this question to see what identity Duan would use to face him. If it was as a king, Chu Luren would definitely turn around and leave. Otherwise, would he have to kowtow three times and nine times?
But after seeing them today, I realized that although the Dali Duan family is a royal family, they treat people and things in the underworld according to the rules of the underworld. It is indeed as their reputation says, and my temper is no longer revealed.
Sure enough, a family dinner has been prepared in the hall ...
The Dao Baifeng I had seen before still had a cold face at this time, but she had changed back into the attire of a noble lady and no longer wore a Taoist robe... I guess it was because of Duan Zhengchun's oral skills.
There were also two middle-aged people at the table. One of them had a square face and good-looking features, while the other one, even though he had grown a beard, still had a handsome face, especially his eyes. It was obvious that when he was young, he was... a pretty boy!
At this time, Duan Yu stood up to welcome Chu Luren and Mu Wanqing to the table.
Apart from that, there was no one else at the table, so Chu Lu Ren was not sure whether Duan Zhengming was single like "Duan Zhengming" or heartbroken like Yi Deng, but it was not a good question to ask.
"I am the junior Chu Lu Ren, nice to meet you two seniors." Chu Lu Ren naturally understood the principle of respecting others one foot and I should respect them ten feet, so he gave a martial arts salute before taking his seat.
"Young Master Chu, you don't have to be polite. Since you are Yu'er's friend and his savior, you are also the friend and benefactor of our Dali Duan family. If you don't mind my trustworthiness, you can just call you Uncle Duan and my second brother Uncle Duan." Duan Zhengming seemed very tolerant and approachable.
