The two men rode back to the city and went to the best restaurant in Zhongzhou City to prepare for dinner.

Someone suddenly appeared from the side: "Lu Xunhuan, have you forgotten about us?"

Lu Xunhuan turned around and saw that it was the fat Elder He from Feixian Sect.

He smiled and bowed, "Elder, I was waiting for you to come. What took you so long?"

Elder He touched his shaved chin and said, "You and Yue Yang went to Kyoto City. I thought you would stay for a while. Let's recalculate the days to help us. From today, it will be one month."

Lu Xun Huan said, "You two sects should discuss the date between yourselves, but you can't keep doing it. I can help you for a while, but you can't come to me every time in the future. I have a lot of things to do."

Elder He laughed out loud: "Haha, that's right, but if you are willing to teach us the method, we won't bother you."

Lu Xunhuan gestured, "Since the elder is here, let's have dinner together."

Elder He declined, "I just came to see you. No need to eat. The South City Inn is not far from where you live. We have already booked it. You can go to the South City Inn after dinner."

Lu Xun Huan bowed again and said, "I'll go in a minute."

After seeing Elder He off, Lu Xunhuan followed Zhao Yi into the restaurant and asked for a private room.

After the food and wine were served, Zhao Yi raised his glass and said, "Master Lu's training is very close to actual combat. If this level of training can be maintained for a long time, the combat effectiveness of all branches of the military will be greatly improved. To be honest, I have been in the army for many years and have never seen anyone train like this. Master Lu, you are a military genius. I sincerely admire you. Come, I toast you."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, you are too kind."

Zhao Yi drank it all in one gulp and continued, "I'm speaking from the heart. If training isn't close to actual combat, it's just a formality. When wartime comes, we'll be incompetent."

He filled his glass again. "I've been watching the training every day these days, and I think I've seen the essence of Lord Lu's training."

He raised his glass again: "The essence of Lord Lu's military training can be summed up in two words: actual combat."

Lu Xun Huan chuckled and raised his glass: "Brother Zhao, you understand me. Brother Zhao, I toast to you."

After three rounds of drinks, Zhao Yi asked, "Master Lu, there are rumors out there that you're from the Wang Ting Division. Is that true?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head and said, "That's not true. By the way, let me ask you, is there really such a thing as a Wang Tingsi?"

Zhao Yi nodded. "I've heard rumors in the military that when the eldest princess was alive, she couldn't stand the corruption in the court. She vowed to crack down on corrupt officials and restore justice to our dynasty. She secretly established the Royal Court Division to investigate corruption."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Does Your Majesty know about this?"

Zhao Yi replied, "It is said that His Majesty knows about this and condones the Princess's actions."

He sighed, "The Princess is full of passion and has good intentions, but... honestly, how many of them aren't greedy? The Princess established the Royal Court Office, which is a threat to almost every official."

"Later, the eldest princess passed away suddenly, and the Wang Tingsi disappeared. It became a mystery how many members she had recruited."

Lu Xun Huan said, "According to what you said, if everyone spreads the rumor that I'm a member of the Royal Court Division, wouldn't I become a thorn in the eyes of those corrupt officials?"

Zhao Yi nodded. "That's the theory, but you're in Zhongzhou City. The officials in Kyoto won't feel threatened by you, so they might not do anything to you."

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "Where did this rumor come from? They said I was a member of the Royal Court Division for no reason. Do you want to kill me?"

Zhao Yi lowered his voice and said, "According to my speculation, Lord Lu should be safe for the time being."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Yiyou raised his glass and said, "I'm just guessing. I won't say more. Lord Lu can understand it himself."

Lu Xunhuan naturally understood in his heart that someone deliberately spread the news that he was a member of the Wang Ting Division in order to attract the Wang Ting Division member that the princess was developing at the time to show up.

As long as all the members of the Wangting Division are caught in one fell swoop, he, the bait, will naturally be safe.

After dinner, he went to the South City Inn as agreed.

The inn was indeed booked by the Feixian Sect, and all those coming in and out were disciples of the Feixian Sect.

Just as he was about to enter, a disciple stopped him and said, "Sorry, there are no rooms left. Please stay somewhere else."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Really? Then I'm really leaving. Don't regret it."

The disciple looked at him suspiciously: "Could it be..."

At this time, Ye Feihong walked out of the inn: "Sir, the elders are waiting for you, come quickly."

Lu Xunhuan stood at the door and didn't move: "You ask him to come and greet me in person."

Ye Feihong smiled: "Okay, okay, don't put on airs, give me some face."

Lu Xunhuan strode into the inn: "I must give you face."

Ye Feihong brought him to the door of a room on the ground floor and reported, "Elder, the young master is here."

Elder He hurried over and said, "Please come in..."

Lu Xun Huan entered the room and took a look. He said, "The conditions of this inn are a bit poor. I'll help you find another one later."

Elder He said, "As a sect cultivating immortals, we just need to find a place to live. We don't care about those flashy things."

Lu Xun Huan reached out and touched the table. "Look at this table. It's so rough. You can tell how bad the environment is. You don't care about it, but I do. Helping people break through is no joke. It has to be rigorous. There has to be a quiet environment, and we have to ensure we're not disturbed."

After hearing what he said, Elder He changed his tone and said, "Then, you find a suitable place and we will move immediately."

Lu Xunhuan said to Ye Feihong, "Go and see if that one has finished its renovations."

Ye Feihong nodded: "Okay."

After Ye Feihong left, Lu Xunhuan said to Elder He, "Sit down, let's chat for a while."

Elder He said anxiously, "Since you're here, why don't you hurry up?"

Lu Xunhuan sat down at the table: "Don't worry."

Elder He had no choice but to sit down patiently: "What's the matter? Tell me."

Lu Xunhuan said, "There are some rumors out there, have you heard about them?"

Elder He thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the rumor is that you are a member of the Royal Court?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded. "I don't know where this rumor came from. I was just a small disciple of Dengtianmen before. Do you think it's possible?"

Elder He shook his head: "It should be impossible."

Lu Xun Huan said, "So, although I'm innocent, rumors are scary. If someone kills me one day, I won't be able to help you."

Elder He took a moment to digest his words: "Do you want me to protect you?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Elder, can you be my bodyguard for a while?"

Elder He's first reaction was naturally unwillingness: "You kid, I am the elder of Feixian Sect,...you can think of it."

Lu Xun Huan stood up and asked, "Where are the eighth-grade immortal sword, eighth-grade magic weapon, and eighth-grade immortal pill you promised me?"

Elder He quickly greeted him: "Sit down first, sit down first..."

He said, "You help us first, and after that, we will naturally give it to you."

Lu Xun Huan snorted, "Hmph, these two major sects are so stingy, they both want to get something for free. I was imprisoned by the Qingfeng Sect for a month and got nothing. Now you are also using the same tone. I'm sorry, I can't help you."

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

Elder He hurriedly stood up and stopped him: "Okay, okay, I'll be your bodyguard, okay?"

Lu Xun Huan turned around and sat down again. "From now on, every day when I go out, I will meet you at the inn first. You will accompany me to the training ground, accompany me to the field training, accompany me to... accompany me to wherever I want to go."

He asked Elder He, "By the way, what level are you at?"

Elder He replied, "The eighth level of Qianyuan Realm."

Lu Xunhuan was amazed and couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Incredible."

Elder He looked pleased with himself, "My Feixian Sect is the largest sect in the Zhou Empire. How can I, an elder, not have some strength? Lu Xunhuan, you are so arrogant that you want a top expert like me to be your bodyguard."

Lu Xun Huan asked, "Will you do it?"

Elder He immediately lost his temper: "Do it."

Lu Xunhuan stood up and said, "Old He, please arrange for the disciples."

Elder He was stunned: "Old He?"

Lu Xun Huan asked, "You're my bodyguard, is it too much for me to call you Lao He? Besides, if I don't call you Lao He, should I call you Xiao He?"

Elder He was a bit amused and said, "Okay, okay, whatever you want. I'll go arrange for the disciples. You have to promise to do your best."

Not long after, Elder He brought a male disciple with him: "Lu Xunhuan, I leave the person to you."

Lu Xun Huan said, "If you want to be a bodyguard, you have to act like one. From now on, you have to call me Young Master."

Elder He looked a little embarrassed: "Why are you so particular?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Is this difficult for you?"

Elder He had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, Master, you are busy, I won't disturb you."

After saying that, he left the room and closed the door.

Lu Xun Huan said to the disciple, "Eat the demon beast's inner elixir."

The disciple took out an inner pill from his pocket and hesitated: "Eat it now?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "When I was in Qingfeng Sect, I helped dozens of people, and all of them succeeded. What are you afraid of? If you are afraid, ask someone else to help you."

The disciple quickly swallowed the demon beast's inner core and said, "Please, Master."

Lu Xunhuan walked up behind him, raised his fist and knocked him unconscious: "Stop talking nonsense."
