This second thought had just emerged, but Wang Anfeng suppressed it immediately. Not to mention that he had originally planned to sneak in quietly without exposing himself, for just the reason of Huangfu Xiong alone, he couldn't make a move, as that would be no different from tarnishing the reputation of the Huangfu family. In other words, will I have to use Third Master's methods? Wang Anfeng suddenly felt a bit of a headache. Just at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of clothes fluttering in the wind. A tall and slender young man entered from the martial arts arena. Handsome in appearance, wearing a long robe with a sword carried on his back, he landed between two swordsmen. The swordsmen on either side showed respectful expressions, cupping their fists in salute, addressing him as Young Master. Only then did the onlookers realize the identity of this suddenly appearing young man—it was none other than the current direct heir of the Huangfu Clan, Huangfu Kui. Their expressions all changed. Huangfu Kui walked forward two steps, pulled out the longsword thrust into the ground, held it in his right hand, and brushed it with his two fingers of the left, exclaiming it was a good sword upon hearing its crisp hum. He then handed it to the dazed Jade-faced Gentleman's Sword, Zhuo Fei, beside him, and made a slight bow, apologizing. Zhuo Fei's hand trembled slightly, his face showing a look of surprise and delight, waving his hands repeatedly. Huangfu Kui smiled slightly at him, then turned and cupped his fists toward the Jianghu companions gathered there, proclaiming their fame and wishing to enter, and then straightened his body, lifting his thick eyebrows slightly. Just like a longsword being unsheathed, the scholarly elegance on his body disappeared completely. He said loudly: "I am Huangfu Kui. Greetings to all fellow Daoists!" The crowd around returned the salute, saying: "Greetings to Young Master Huangfu." Huangfu Kui smiled and said: "All of you have come here, and I should have invited you all in to fulfill the responsibilities of a host. However, manpower is limited, and there have to be some rules. This is not Huangfu intentionally making things difficult for everyone. As we roam the Jianghu, aren't we all guided by the four words of sentiment, reason, loyalty, and righteousness?" Everyone naturally agreed. Huangfu Kui smiled and said: "Then, the rules for entering this time are nothing but those four words: sentiment, reason, loyalty, and righteousness." Someone below shouted: "What do you mean by sentiment, reason, loyalty, and righteousness?!" Huangfu Kui answered calmly: "As for sentiment, this is hosted by my Huangfu family. Though not to the extent of exhausting effort, it still required a lot of hard work. If any of you have past connections with my Huangfu family, or have shown favor to any branch of Huangfu, you can naturally enter." "Even if it means withdrawing our own family members, we will make room for you." "As for reason, since this is a gathering of the Jianghu, it should be settled by martial skills. Those who have earned a real name in the Jianghu, be it from the righteous path or the left-hand path, can all enter. Please!" "Regarding the word loyalty, if a hero has done deeds beneficial to the Jianghu, the above two points are irrelevant, and Huangfu Kui will personally guide them inside." "Sentiment, reason, loyalty, and righteousness boil down to these four words. If you rely on martial skills, you can defeat my two experts to enter." Having said this, he raised a hand to point at the two rather tall swordsmen of the Huangfu family in front, and said loudly: "As martial artists, why not venture forward with swords?!" "Is there anyone willing to try?" The four words of sentiment, reason, loyalty, and righteousness, when laid out, caused no objections, and everyone rather approved. Already, someone had been incited by the last words, stirring combat will within them, shouting out loud, greatly admiring Huangfu Kui. Truly, like father, like son. The Huangfu family is indeed formidable. Wang Anfeng's eyes lit up. Not knowing that a famous martial artist could enter without a letter of introduction, he thought that if he could defeat the two martial artists in front of him to enter, it would be even better. He was very skilled in the Qinggong of the Divine Thieves Sect, having control over the skilled use of his wrist and palm, but the art of pickpocketing was truly against his nature, making it difficult to master. With so many experts here, who knows if someone might detect a problem? One wrong move, and word would spread throughout the Jianghu that the Blade Madman of Great Qin was actually a thief. But he quickly realized something was not right. While he was musing, several self-proclaimed strong martial artists had already been provoked into their pride, stepping forward to challenge, yet few could withstand more than three moves, most being defeated within a move or two. The earlier swordsman from Langya County, who could hold on for three moves, merely having his weapon blown away, was already considered outstanding. Given the martial skills of these two, clearly, they were no ordinary figures within the Huangfu family. If he were to defeat these two and enter, it would surely draw a lot of attention. Among those present, although numerous and diverse, most had connections to him— If nothing unexpected happens, the people from the Ministry of Punishment have already figured out his disguised identity, and his father had a discord with the Sima line of the Military Family. The Dongfang Clan can sense bloodlines and could identify him, and Xiahou Xuan could see through his Disguise Technique with a glance. The Elder of the Xuanyuan Family had his right arm severed by Li Bo, and the White Tiger Hall was his target... Wang Anfeng felt a slight ache at his temple, feeling utterly helpless. If it weren't for currently acting under the identity of Blade Madman, he almost would have let out a bitter laugh, sighing in his heart. Forget it, forget it. He could only look for another unlucky fellow, trying out Third Master's dexterous hand, hoping not to be discovered. Having made up his mind, just as he was about to turn around, a soft exclamation suddenly came from behind Wang Anfeng. "Oh? Is it really you?!" Wang Anfeng turned his eyes slightly, seeing two faces that looked somewhat familiar at first glance, and in the next instant, his eyes fell on the front. The pretty girl dressed in white with a white fur cloak draped over her shoulders had a small, ancient jade pendant hanging from her waist. He could vaguely see the erased characters of a thousand liang on the jade pendant. Wang Anfeng's gaze froze: "..." PS: Today's update is here...
