Chapter 115 Sending a letter for help
A week has passed since Jian Wuji sent Fengdie back to Shengu Peak.

Logically, he should have come back long ago, but he is nowhere to be seen.

Until this day, Lu Ping received a letter, and to his surprise, the sender was actually Papilio.

"On the way back, Fengdie and I didn't say a few words. Why did she suddenly send me a letter? She couldn't be asking me for information about Jian Wuji, right?"

Full of questions, Lu Ping opened the envelope.

After reading the contents clearly, Lu Ping's expression changed. He looked up at the sky and sighed with melancholy: "Jian Wuji, ah Jian Wuji... you still can't escape the fate of being abused by your father-in-law..."

So what did the letter say?

It turned out that after Jian Wuji sent Fengdie back to Shengu Peak that day, he was knocked off a cliff by Ren Piaomiao on the way back, and then... was forced to embark on a brutal, hell-level swordsmanship training.

Fengdie was not aware of this matter at first and only thought that Jian Wuji had already safely left Shen Gu Peak.

So how did she find out that Jian Wuji was being specially trained by Ren Piaomiao?
This is mainly because the divine poison Emperor Wen himself revealed his true colors.

Some time after Jian Wuji 'left' Shen Gu Peak, Shen Gu Wen Huang's living habits suddenly became abnormal -

He no longer lay in bed drinking tea, reading, playing chess, and sleeping as usual. Instead, he would disappear for an hour or two from time to time every day.

Once a lazy person becomes diligent, it is like the sun rising in the west, or he is secretly doing something unspeakable.

After careful observation, Fengdie finally discovered that Jian Wuji was imprisoned under the cliff of Shen Gu Peak.

She was worried about Jian Wuji's life safety and mental state, but she couldn't find anyone who could help her for the time being, so she thought of Lu Ping and others and wrote a letter seeking external help.

At the end of the letter, Fengdie specifically reminded——

"The master has always been careful in his actions. If he had intended to conceal this matter, I would not have easily noticed it. In other words, my recent actions may have been completely under the master's control. Now that he is sitting back and doing nothing, there must be a reason behind it. If you decide to help, remember to act with caution."

Lu Ping thought about it and felt that Fengdie’s reminder made sense.

With Emperor Wen's wisdom and means, if he wanted to punish Jian Wuji, there would definitely be no mistakes.

Now that he allowed Fengdie to leak the information, there is a high possibility that the Wuji swordsmanship used by Jian Wuji has stirred the sword heart deep in his heart, and he wants to contact the master behind Jian Wuji through himself.

"How can Emperor Wen be so sure that I know Jian Wuji's master? Although I do know it..."

Lu Ping felt that Emperor Wen’s move was probably a gamble, but he made the right bet.

Jian Wuji's master is Miyamoto Souji, and he is a fellow disciple with Qiao Rulai and Xueshan Yinyan. This was confirmed on the first day Lu Ping and Jian Wuji met, which is no different from the setting in The Golden Light.

Now that he needs to call for help, Lu Ping's first choice is naturally to go to Zhengqi Villa. After all, he doesn't know where Miyamoto Souji is hiding.

So after explaining the reasons to Hua Wuque, Yi Wuxin, Doctor Ming and others, Lu Ping set out on the journey to Zhengqi Villa.

Originally, Hua Wuque and Yi Wuxin wanted to go along, but were rejected by Lu Ping.

In fact, ever since Lu Ping persuaded Yi Wuxin to post the "Looking for Father Notice" on the public kiosk some time ago, no one knows for what reason, but people come to the door every now and then to pretend to be his parents.

Of course, in the end, Lu Ping had all of those who came to visit him seen through their lies, taught them a lesson and sent them away, but this at least showed that this action was not ineffective.

In order not to miss the Mirror Master who might really come to him, Lu Ping kept Yi Wuxin. With Doctor of the Underworld, Hua Wuque and Madam Mu looking after her, he didn't have to worry about her being deceived.

……

Zhengqi Villa is located in Yushan County, northwest of the capital city.

Lu Ping asked along the way and spent a whole day before finally finding the location.

Zhengqi Villa is located far away from the town and is a large manor.

Lu Ping followed the guidance of passers-by in the town and when he was 300 meters away from the manor, he could feel the solemn and simple atmosphere.

When you get closer and take a closer look, you will see that there are differences.

At the entrance of the manor, there were various flowers and green plants planted, which added some bright colors to the originally plain gate. The flowers were trimmed very beautifully. Even though Lu Ping knew nothing about this kind of craft, he could tell that the trimmer was well versed in it, and his mindset and technique were far superior to those of ordinary people.

If that person is not a wise man who hides himself from the world, is detached from the world and has an open mind, then he must be a beautiful woman with both talent and virtue, beautiful appearance and intelligent mind, and well-educated.

It is now July, the height of summer, the hottest time of the year. However, at the gate of the manor, there is a man sweeping the floor diligently with a broom in hand, braving the scorching sun.

The man was about 20 years old, with long white hair. He was dressed like a Buddhist, wearing a white gauze robe and a string of yellow Buddhist beads on his shoulders. He looked dignified, calm, gentle and honest.

It looks like Qiao Rulai!
Lu Ping vaguely guessed the other party's identity, so he dismounted, stepped forward, and saluted: "I am Qi Passerby, may I ask if you are Qiao Rulai?"

At the gate of Zhengqi Villa, there was still this attire, and there was no one else except Qiao Rulai.

In fact, when Lu Ping was still a few hundred meters away from Zhengqi Villa, Qiao Rulai had already discovered him, but she didn't know his purpose at the moment, so she remained calm.

It was not until Lu Ping dismounted and stepped forward that Qiao Rulai stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at him.

"I am Qiao Rulai. I wonder if you have encountered any trouble during your visit to Zhengqi Villa?"

Zhengqi Villa is far away from the town, and there is a teahouse five miles away. If a tourist happened to pass by and wanted to ask for a drink of water, that would be totally wrong.

Over the years, Shi Yanwen has always been known as a chivalrous man. He has taken it as his responsibility to uphold justice, maintain stability in the martial arts world, and help the poor. If someone comes to him specifically to seek help, he will never refuse.

However, a few years ago, he had a great battle with Cang Jing Ren, and was accidentally interfered by Hei Bai Lang Jun during the battle, causing him to be seriously injured and had to retire from the world.

Although time has passed and the injury should have healed long ago, Shi Yanwen's strength is limited after all, and the things he encounters are also prioritized, so as long as it is not particularly troublesome, he will now hand over the matter to his eldest son Qiao Rulai to handle.

Knowing that the person in front of him was indeed Qiao Rulai, Lu Ping felt slightly relieved. Then, when he heard him address him as "little brother" instead of "warrior", he felt even more reassured.

"I have been entrusted by someone to come and tell you something about the warrior Jian Wuji. The details are as follows..."

In just a few words, Lu Ping told the story of Jian Wuji being trapped in Shen Gu Peak.

Of course, he only told her what he should know on the surface, and did not explain the complicated relationship between 'Emperor Wen' and 'Ren Piaomiao'.

"…Miss Fengdie's letter is here."

As he spoke, Lu Ping handed the letter sent by Fengdie to Qiao Rulai from his arms, and explained, "I have some friendship with Jian Wuji. I heard from him that he and the two sons of Confucian heroes are brothers, so I came to you."

"I think it would be better to inform Master Ling to come forward about this matter..."

Inform Miyamoto Souji and lead him to confront Ren Piaomiao. Then the battle for the world's number one sword that will be opened through the Fengyun Monument in a while will be really interesting.

Qiao Rulai stared at the letter in her hand and pondered for a long time, then suddenly woke up: "Sorry, Qiao Rulai is rude."

"Thank you for sending the letter, little brother. Qiao Rulai already knows about this matter and will deal with it later. If you don't mind, why don't you come into the manor and have a cup of tea first..."

"That's annoying!"

Lu Ping glanced at the gate of Zhengqi Villa and did not refuse. He also wanted to see what the scenery inside was like.

Led by Qiao Rulai, the two entered Zhengqi Villa and took a short rest in the living room.

After a cup of tea, Lu Ping finally proposed something he had wanted to do since he set out on this journey.

"I wonder if Mr. Shi Xian is at home? Is he free? I have heard of his name for a long time and I really want to see his face."

Now that I'm here, if I don't meet him in person, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
Upon hearing Lu Ping's request to meet Shi Yanwen, Qiao Rulai just gave a polite smile.

He has seen quite a few people like this come to visit him.

"Little brother, you came at the right time. My father happens to be free during this period!"

"I think he should be in the martial arts arena right now, teaching martial arts to the new junior fellow apprentices. If you are interested, I can take you to see him."

"It's just right. I should also tell my father about this..."
