Real society is truly terrifying.
Luo Yong was originally just an ordinary extraordinary person, with an ordinary job and an ordinary background, as ordinary as could be.
Even the fact that he is the only "extraordinary person" is not a big deal because of his ordinary talent.
In today's society, so what if someone is an extraordinary person?
He didn't intend to be a bad person, had no powerful backers, and wasn't skilled enough to command respect, so he could only honestly work as a laborer.
Luo Yong had just happened to be passing by and wanted to have a drink, but when he saw that there were other people like him there, he shared a table with them, chatted for a while, and vented his frustrations.
Who would have thought that this was the hideout of the Quanxing gang?
Who would have thought that these guys, who can't even utter a few words of idle chatter, are the wicked Quanxing?
Not to mention, how could such a glamorous figure as Lu Xuan be encountered in this shabby noodle shop?
He's great with words, but when it comes to real problems, Luo Yong immediately chickens out.
They were even afraid of being hurt and dared not clarify that they were not Quanxing at all.
Especially seeing that Lu Xuan, this seemingly elegant young Taoist priest, actually used such cruel methods.
Luo Yong, terrified, crouched under the table, covering his head and not daring to lift it.
"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Just moments ago, screams could be heard, but now there's no sound at all. Luo Yong huddled under the table, trembling, his eyes too scared to open.
The sound of a table being tapped.
Luo Yong was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating.
In the deathly silent noodle shop, where you could hear the fan creaking, Lu Xuan's voice drifted out.
"Still not getting up?"
Luo Yong swallowed hard, too afraid to move. He really didn't dare to move.
Ignoring whether the person at his feet had gotten up or not, Lu Xuan flipped through the Quanxing roster in his hand.
"Huh? How come there's another Quanxing member I don't recognize here?"
Chapter 156: My Chen family is pure, bright, and radiant.
The crisp sound of pages turning filled my ears.
Luo Yong couldn't resist his curiosity and opened his eyes to peek out.
A list of names, resembling a memorial to the emperor, automatically opened in Lu Xuan's hand, seemingly endlessly turning the pages.
I glanced at it quickly; the list was densely packed with gray characters, all of them renowned Quanxing masters from the Central China region.
Each name was followed by a brief description and a list of past crimes, and even...
Luo Yong rubbed his eyes.
Why does it feel like this list refreshed automatically just now?
The list seems endless, making it hard to imagine the profound and enduring evil nature of the Quanxing sect, which has existed for thousands of years.
But at this moment, all the names of these Quanxing members have turned gray with death. The list flips back and forth, and for a long time, not a single name is lit up.
Does this list contain the names of all members of the Quanxing faction?
Luo Yong was utterly horrified.
How could the Quanxing sect have endured its scourge for a thousand years?
A large part of the reason is that it is difficult to completely eradicate. Even in modern society, with big data, it is difficult to completely find out how many cases of sexual assault exist.
The entire list of members has already been released?
Is there a traitor within Quanxing, or is there a Quanxing member among the traitors?
Soul searching + the Yellow Millet Technique + the help of an unknown radish head...
If there's anyone from Quanxing who isn't on the list, then it's this guy.
After going through the few remaining lists of members of the Quanxing faction in the Central China region, Lu Xuan looked at Luo Yong, who was quietly peeking out from under the table.
"Are you a new member of Quanxing?"
He wasn't on the Quanxing list, and none of the Quanxing members who just died had any memory of him. Even in Erzhuang's database, this person was listed as innocent.
Even at a glance, Lu Xuan could tell that this person had no karmic burdens.
Luo Yong scratched his head awkwardly.
After a long silence, she spoke with a shy expression.
"Actually, I'm just a braggart..."
After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the noodle shop froze for a moment.
Lu Xuan: "..."
I felt awkward for the first time in a long time.
I thought I'd met a tough nut to crack, but it turns out he's just a keyboard warrior!
Seeing Lu Xuan's gaze fall upon him again, Luo Yong quickly crawled out from under the table and raised his hands in surrender.
"Master Lu, I am truly innocent!"
Luo Yong was in tears.
"I'm not really familiar with those Quanxing people, I was just bragging a bit when I was drunk!"
Luo Yong regrets it!
I knew that going out for a drink would lead to...
"Master Lu, can you just pretend I was drunk and talking in my sleep?"
"Let me go please!"
"That won't work."
Luo Yong paused for a moment, then continued to weep.
Am I going to die here today?
"What I mean is, what you said actually makes some sense..."
Lu Xuan shoved the list of all members of the sect into his hands with a clatter, seemingly lost in thought, or perhaps talking to himself.
"Do you know what the biggest difficulty is for a proper Taoist priest from a prestigious lineage?"
How would I know?
How could I, a wild and unorthodox person with no backing or master, possibly know what you orthodox Taoist masters are thinking?
Luo Yong wanted to complain but was afraid of being sliced into "pork chop" by Lu Xuan's sword light.
They could only get bits and pieces of information from their connections and guess what to say.
"Could it be that the entire sect refuses to comply?"
Lu Xuan: "(?_?)ノ"
Is this meme never going to end?
Lu Xuan silently rubbed his forehead.
"The hardest thing for me is a high moral disadvantage..."
"As a Taoist priest from a reputable sect, no matter how much I say or how ruthlessly I kill people, those guys will always think the best of me."
"Then they became smug, thinking they had found some weakness in me, and completely disregarded my warnings..."
"Although it's quite satisfying to crush those guys' self-righteous 'expectations' time and time again, and to completely shatter their bodies and minds."
"But if we keep repeating this formula, even the readers will get tired of it."
Luo Yong scratched his head; he didn't quite understand.
Lu Xuan continued speaking.
"Therefore, I need to let the entire world of supernatural beings know that my trip down the mountain this time is not to host a dinner party, and I am not as gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest as they imagine."
"It's not like a gust of wind has swept through the world of supernatural beings; they can just hide."
"It's not that I can shout 'Jiazi Jiemo' and they can get away with it by pretending to 'withdraw' or 'repent'."
"They need fear, they need to know..."
"I'm here to kill them."
Upon hearing this, Luo Yong felt as if a lightning bolt had struck his mind, illuminating the questions that had been swirling in his previously confused head.
For some reason, Luo Yong's eyes showed a hint of excitement.
How familiar Lu Xuan's words sounded!
Isn't this clearly an answer to the question he asked when he was drunk?
Master Lu, a luminary of the Xuanmen sect, who shines like the rising sun, would actually pay attention to someone like me from the bottom of society?
Luo Yong's heart suddenly raced a few beats faster.
I wanted to say something, but I found myself not knowing where to begin.
The noodle shop owner accidentally dropped his long-handled ladle into the pot, and the echo in the empty pot broke the atmosphere in the noodle shop.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"
The noodle shop owner peered out of the window, looking terrified.
His face, already drenched in sweat from the heat, was now dripping with even more sweat.
"I accidentally dropped my finger."
Lu Xuan waved his hand gently, which relieved the noodle shop owner.
But the second half of the sentence made the noodle shop owner's heart leap into his throat.
