Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 43 The Old Master's Test
"If I'm not mistaken, the little Yuzi following Lao Tian is also a Quan Xing person, right?"

Hearing the old Taoist priest's words, Lu Liang did not directly admit or deny it, but asked:
"Why would the old Taoist priest say that?"

The old Taoist priest smiled and looked leisurely towards the second floor.

"My junior brother is a very careful person."

"Although your disguise skills are outstanding, it is not easy to completely imitate a person, especially to deceive someone who is very familiar with them."

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, his gaze slowly shifted back to Lu Liang, "Unless someone is helping you."

"This person needs to understand both Lao Tian and Xiao Qingzi, the character you play."

"There aren't many candidates who meet this requirement."

Lu Liang nodded secretly in his heart.

The fact that he was able to hide the truth from Tian Jinzhong these past two days was indeed due to Gong Qing's help.

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and continued, "This time, Quan Xing made such a big fuss to come to Longhu Mountain to cause trouble. He must be scheming something."

"Although the two unique skills of Qi Body Origin and Tongtian Talisman are indeed very attractive."

"But Xiao Yuzi has been in my Longhu Mountain for more than three years. These two were not in my Longhu Mountain before."

The old Taoist priest looked at him with scrutiny, "I think his purpose is related to my junior fellow apprentice."

Having said that, Lu Liang no longer denied it.

He smiled calmly and exclaimed, "Old Heavenly Master is indeed perceptive!"

The old Taoist priest shook his head slightly, held the teacup steadily with his left hand, pinched the lid with his right hand, brushed away the foam on the top, and then lowered his head to take a sip.

When he looked up again, there was a bit more scrutiny in his eyes.

"This little Yuzi has a special status in your Quanxing, right?"

Lu Liang nodded.

"His original name was Gong Qing, and he was the acting leader of Quan Xing."

"Acting Sect Leader." The old Taoist priest's eyes showed a hint of deep thought, and his tone was full of emotion.

"Ever since that person, Quanxing has been like a pile of loose sand. There hasn't been a leader in a long time. I didn't expect that in recent years, there has been an acting leader."

"Haha, you're quite courageous to lurk alone on my Dragon Tiger Mountain."

"I was a little confused before. Being able to mobilize so many people to act simultaneously doesn't seem like someone who is just after special skills."

"But if it was Xiao Yuzi who instigated this incident, then it would make sense. He has been a Taoist child in Longhu Mountain for three years, and he has been taking care of Old Tian without any complaints..."

"I guess it's because of that secret."

Lu Liang did not respond.

He glanced at the old Taoist priest's expression, but could not see any obvious joy or anger.

Originally, he planned to take Gong Qing away directly, but now that the old Taoist priest pointed it out, he might have to put in more effort.

He said, "Old Heavenly Master, I'm taking the initiative to seek a deal with you this time, which means that Quan Xing's original plan against Mr. Tian is invalid."

"Therefore, I hope that the old Heavenly Master can hand Gong Qing over to me for disposal."

……

After these words were spoken, the scene was silent for a moment.

The old Taoist priest put the teacup in his hand on the table. The bottom of the coarse porcelain teacup collided with the table, making a crisp sound that was particularly clear in the quiet room.

Lu Liang looked at the old Taoist priest with a natural expression.

"Haha, little Lu Liang, you're quite brave to bring that up."

The old Taoist priest had a faint smile on his face and looked at Lu Liang for a moment.

He said in a deep voice, "The acting Sect Leader Quan Xing has been lurking in Longhu Mountain for three years, and has even plotted against my junior brother."

"If we let him go like this, wouldn't it make Longhu Mountain seem easy to bully?"

Facing the old Taoist priest's questioning, Lu Liang raised a smile.

If the old Taoist priest really wanted to kill someone, he would have done it directly instead of arguing with me like this.

This small talk, while seemingly about Gong Qing, was actually a test of himself. After realizing this, Lu Liang's attitude became calmer.

He also picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said slowly, "Old Heavenly Master, there's a saying that goes, 'Judge the deeds, not the heart.'"

"Judging from Gong Qing's behavior, at least until now, he has not done anything to harm Mr. Tian."

"In fact, he has been absolutely diligent in taking care of Elder Tian over the years. Otherwise, you, Old Master, wouldn't have failed to notice anything for so many years."

"In that case, why not let him go?"

"Let him go? Haha."

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest did not answer immediately. He just stroked his beard slowly, looked up and down at Lu Liang with interest, and spoke in a meaningful tone.

"I'm afraid Gong Qing isn't the only one who wants to become the leader of Quanxing Sect."

"I'll use my hand to help you get rid of an opponent in a logical way, isn't that good?"

He raised an eyebrow, "Or do you think an old man like me can't do it?"

"The old Taoist priest is joking."

Lu Liang smiled and shook his head. He stretched out two fingers and made a slightly exaggerated gesture of running away.

"If you take action, Gong Qing will not be able to escape even if he flees to Xilin Grassland, let alone Longhu Mountain."

"Hahahaha!"

Although the old Taoist priest didn't know why Lu Liang suddenly mentioned Xilin Grassland, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, obviously agreeing with Lu Liang's witty remark.

However, he soon put away his smile and raised his eyebrows again to look at Lu Liang.

"You haven't answered the question I asked just now."

"Although Gong Qing wasn't mentioned in the previous transaction, I'm very satisfied with Lao Tian's treatment results, so I don't mind adding a little extra."

"Thank you for your kindness, old master."

Lu Liang bowed to the old Taoist priest, and then said seriously: "Whatever I want, I will find a way to get it."

"As for Gong Qing, I hope he lives well."

"Oh?" The old Taoist priest showed curiosity and motioned Lu Liang to continue.

"When we were discussing the deal that day, the old Taoist priest asked me what I thought of Quan Xing today. My response was that people in Quan Xing can be divided into three types: mavericks, those who indulge in lust without reason, and those who blindly follow others without thinking."

"Among them, the first type is the one I admire the most, and they account for the smallest proportion."

"But Gong Qing happens to be the first type."

Lu Liang looked directly at the old Taoist priest, "Are you satisfied with this answer, old Taoist priest?"

"Or rather, did I pass the old Heavenly Master's assessment today?"

"Hahahahahahaha." The old Taoist priest stood up, as if amused by these frank yet sincere words. He raised his head and laughed a few times, his laughter was hearty and heroic.

Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Lu Liang in the air, with a smile and approval in his eyes.

"You little fellow..."

"Okay, you can handle Gong Qing's matter yourself."

Lu Liang also stood up and said, "Thank you, old Taoist priest."

"Why thank me?" the old Taoist priest stroked his beard. "Whether practicing Taoism or being a human being, one must avoid being dishonest, especially with oneself."

"Since you have thought it through, there is no need for me to embarrass you."

"But, after this incident, you must remember to return the Taoist boy you knocked unconscious."

"Don't worry!" Lu Liang assured, "Xiao Qingzi is still sleeping soundly."

The old Taoist nodded and looked outside the house.

"By the way, when will this excitement in Longhu Mountain, instigated by Quan Xing, officially begin?"

"Tomorrow night." Lu Liang replied.

"Okay." The old Taoist priest stood with his hands behind his back. "Since you have cured Old Tian, ​​I will fulfill the deal I promised you."
