Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

"The Quanzhen Sect, Yin Zhiping!"

Duan Zhengchun casually returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, and uttered six words indifferently.

When he heard Lu Guanying mention the words "female demon," he was indeed somewhat dissatisfied, but he did not show it, because Li Mochou's reputation had been around for a long time, and it would take time to completely fade it away.

Next, Kumu introduced Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying to Lu Guanying. For Kumu, the journey would have been much more interesting without the two of them by his side.

"Miss Lu, Miss Cheng, don't just stand there, hurry up and enter the manor."

Lu Guanying gestured to Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, and then carefully walked towards the mansion with his wife on either side of the withered tree, ignoring Duan Zhengchun on horseback.

At this moment, Lu Guanying only regarded Duan Zhengchun as a drunkard and did not take him seriously. At most, he felt a little grateful, since Duan Zhengchun had personally delivered the withered wood to Guiyun Manor.

Duan Zhengchun didn't pay much attention. He dismounted, tossed the reins to a servant in the manor, gestured to Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, and slowly followed them inside.

"This Master Lu is so rude! If it weren't for Brother Duan, his master would probably be dead. How dare he be so indifferent! Humph!"

Lu Wushuang pouted and muttered something under her breath as she followed Duan Zhengchun.

"cousin..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying hurriedly grabbed Lu Wushuang's hand, glanced warily at Lu Guanying and his wife walking ahead, and shook her head in acknowledgment.

Duan Zhengchun smiled without saying a word, then turned his head to look at Lu Wushuang meaningfully, observing Guiyun Manor as he walked forward.

Not long after, the Lu family arranged a guest room for each of Duan Zhengchun and his two companions. The hostess, Cheng Yaojia, was very friendly and ordered the servants to replace all the bedding in each room with new ones.

"Madam Lu, you are too kind. We do not intend to stay overnight. Since Master Kumu has already delivered the goods, we will take our leave shortly."

Duan Zhengchun looked at the servants bustling about, clasped his hands in a fist salute to Cheng Yaojia, and said with a smile.

"Junior Brother Yin, don't you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia covered her mouth and chuckled softly, looking at Duan Zhengchun with curiosity, and suddenly asked.

Duan Zhengchun was taken aback, looking at Cheng Yaojia with confusion, and hesitated before asking, "Junior Brother?!"

He did not recall having any female disciples in the Quanzhen Sect, and besides, she was already married.

"No wonder. The last time we met was more than ten years ago. You were young then, so it's normal that you don't remember."

“I am the disciple of your seventh uncle, Qingjing Sanren, but I am a lay disciple and not a true disciple of the Quanzhen Sect.”

Cheng Yaojia smiled and explained slowly.

"I see. Zhiping greets Senior Sister."

"Senior sister, you don't know this, but I was seriously injured a month ago. Since then, my mind hasn't been working very well. I can't remember many people and things from the past."

Upon hearing this, Duan Zhengchun finally understood. He hadn't expected Sun Bu'er to have taken in a lay female disciple. He quickly clasped his hands in a salute and smiled as he made up an excuse.

Cheng Yaojia suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I see. No wonder you didn't recognize me. But that was many years ago. I almost didn't recognize you outside the gate just now. You've changed a lot over the years."

Duan Zhengchun said, "I didn't expect to meet my senior sister here. By the way, Uncle Sun was also in Jiangling City not long ago. If I had known, I would have brought her along. You and your master could have met again."

Cheng Yaojia asked in surprise, "Master also went to Jiangling City? Where is she now?"

Duan Zhengchun said, "Judging by the days, they should have returned to Zhongnan Mountain by now. Some time ago..."

Perhaps because of their shared connection as disciples of the Quanzhen Sect, the two gradually became acquainted, and Duan Zhengchun briefly mentioned his trip to the Western Regions to rescue Liu Chuxuan and Sun Bu'er.

Upon hearing that Duan Zhengchun had traveled all the way to the Western Regions to save her master, Cheng Yaojia kept thanking him, and her attitude became noticeably more friendly.

Just then, a dozen servants came in a line, carrying all sorts of plates and dishes, filled with various snacks and fruits, and even prepared a new set of clothes for each of Duan Zhengchun and the other two.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojia was also stunned for a moment, her face showing confusion.

Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying also looked at the servants coming and going in surprise, wondering what had happened.

At this moment, the steward quickly approached and respectfully bowed to Cheng Yaojia and Duan Zhengchun, saying, "Madam, Young Master Yin, the Master of the Manor has ordered a banquet to be prepared and invites Young Master Yin to attend."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia was also bewildered, feeling that something was amiss. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to suddenly be so enthusiastic, not only sending so many things but also throwing a grand banquet to entertain her junior brother.

"Zhiping, since a banquet has been prepared, come with me. You don't need to leave; stay at the manor tonight."

Cheng Yaojia looked at Duan Zhengchun again, filled with doubt, and said with a smile.

Duan Zhengchun nodded, and led Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying, following Cheng Yaojia straight to the front courtyard.

"Young Master Yin! Please come in! Please come in!"

"I apologize for my negligence earlier, Young Hero Yin!"

As soon as Duan Zhengchun entered, Lu Guanying hurried over, bowing respectfully and inviting Duan Zhengchun to sit down, a hint of apology on his face.

Master Kumu had arrived early and was sitting in the main seat, smiling as he looked at Duan Zhengchun.

Cheng Yaojia, confused, leaned closer to Lu Guanying and whispered something. Lu Guanying smiled, pointed at Duan Zhengchun, and exclaimed, "Madam, do you know who he is?!"

Cheng Yaojia was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confusion, "I know him. Yin Zhiping, a third-generation disciple of the Quanzhen Sect, is also my junior brother."

Lu Guanying shook his head and continued, "No, no, no, that's not what I'm talking about! The person who has been the subject of rumors in the martial arts world recently, who fought my master Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, with a single palm strike and did not lose, is him!"

His face was filled with excitement and admiration as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yaojia was instantly filled with surprise, looking at Duan Zhengchun in disbelief and saying, "Junior Brother, is it really you?!"

Duan Zhengchun glanced at Master Kumu, who was sitting in the main seat, smiling without saying a word, nodded, and said, "It is indeed me."

Just now, Master Kumu told Lu Guanying everything about his experience and what happened in Lu Family Village, which is why Lu Guanying's attitude changed so drastically.

Since the battle at Lu Family Manor, Yin Zhiping's name has gradually spread throughout the martial arts world, making him famous overnight.

Immediately afterwards, everyone took their seats and the banquet began. Duan Zhengchun and Lu Guanying sat on either side of Master Kumu and gradually became acquainted.

The unpleasant feeling in Duan Zhengchun's heart gradually dissipated.

During a casual conversation, Duan Zhengchun inadvertently learned that Yunqi Temple was also a branch of Shaolin Temple, and that Master Kumu belonged to the Shaolin lineage. Furthermore, Lu Guanying was not only a lay disciple of Master Kumu, but also a grand-disciple of Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic.

When Lu Guanying and Cheng Yaojia got married, Huang Yaoshi personally officiated at their wedding.

As the drinks flowed, the relationship between them seemed to grow closer, gradually becoming like that of a family. In particular, Lu Guanying kept praising Duan Zhengchun throughout the meal, eager to befriend him.

...

After the banquet, Duan Zhengchun returned to his room, sat by the window and continued drinking, reflecting on whether he had made any other mistakes besides abstaining from alcohol at the dinner table.

He didn't expect to meet his fellow disciple here, but he had already found out that Cheng Yaojia had little contact with the Quanzhen Sect after getting married. Otherwise, if this matter were to be reported back to the Quanzhen Sect, it would cause trouble again.

On the way back, he learned that Sun Bu'er, like Hao Datong, was a stubborn person who was inflexible and inflexible. If he found out anything that was not good for him, he would definitely make things difficult for him.

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Lu Wushuang and Cheng Ying walked in together. Both of them looked hesitant, as if they had something difficult to say.

"It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?"

Duan Zhengchun glanced at the two of them and asked a question casually.

The two hesitated, each wanting the other to speak first, and their brows furrowed with hesitation and growing nervousness.

"If there's nothing else, you can go back now. I need to rest."

Duan Zhengchun waved his hand, feigned yawning as if he were sleepy, and began to tell the guests to leave.

"and many more..."

"We have something to discuss with Brother Duan..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wushuang finally spoke...
