Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Chief Ren, shall we continue?"

After forcing Ren Yuan back, Lu Junyi turned around, looked at Ren Yuan who had taken a few steps back, and asked with a smile.

Ren Yuan looked at Lu Junyi, tightened his grip on the three-pointed knife, and then relaxed it.

"No need, I lost."

Although he was somewhat annoyed, Ren Yuan understood that he was no match for Lu Junyi right now, and there was no point in continuing the fight.

Ren Yuan isn't someone who can't accept defeat; he'll simply admit he's not good enough.

"Oh?"

Lu Junyi was somewhat surprised; he had never seen someone so frankly admit defeat.

"Chief Ren didn't even use his full strength just now, so why is he admitting defeat like this?"

Lu Junyi was just itching to do something.

That was really fun, wanna play again?

"We can't win, we can't win, there's no point in continuing."

Ren Yuan waved his hand and said, "In front of you, Master Lu, I can't even launch an effective attack, so why should I force myself to keep up for the sake of face?"

"Once I've practiced my moves to a higher level and made some progress, I'll come back to learn from the master's superior skills!"

“If Chief Ren has such ambitions, then further progress is just around the corner. I look forward to our next encounter.”

Lu Junyi gave Ren Yuan a high evaluation and expressed his desire to fight him again.

"No problem, we'll practice together often."

Ren Yuan cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Junyi and smiled.

"After all, we are fellow disciples, and I will inevitably trouble you in the future."

"Chief Ren? What do you mean by that?"

Hearing Ren Yuan call him "fellow disciple," Lu Junyi raised an eyebrow slightly; he didn't particularly like this kind of attempt to establish a connection.

"It means that we were taught by the same master. Sir, according to seniority, I should call you Second Senior Brother."

"You can't say things like that, Chief Ren. I, Lu, have never claimed to have a master..."

Lu Junyi was still somewhat skeptical.

"You, Lu Junyi, are a disciple of Iron Arm Zhou Tong! Isn't that right!"

"You kowtowed and became a disciple, and you were always the second disciple because the position of our eldest disciple was always vacant. Later you found out that the eldest disciple was Lin Chong, the Leopard Head of Tokyo. Because his father died in Xixia while shielding our master from a bullet, our master felt guilty and, even though he passed on his skills, he did not formally make him perform the apprenticeship ceremony."

"But the position of senior brother has always been reserved for him, and in our sect, after completing our studies, we must leave the mountain and travel. We cannot publicize our master's name after graduation, so not many people know whose disciples we are..."

Ren Yuan began to talk incessantly about his sect, but before he could finish, Lu Junyi rushed up to him:

"Junior brother! Which junior brother are you?"

Lu Junyi was overjoyed. After being away from his master's sect for so long, this was like meeting family!

"Second senior brother, I am the third brother. The child who sparred with you just now is called Yue Fei. He is the fourth brother, and also Master's last disciple, our junior brother."

"He's the fourth son?"

Lu Junyi was taken aback!

No wonder! No wonder he's so skilled in martial arts at such a young age! He's his master's last disciple, so it's no surprise!

Oh no! I was actually thinking of taking that child as my disciple just now. This is truly going against the natural order!

Lu Junyi looked up towards Yue Fei and, seeing Lin Chong beside him, asked Ren Yuan:

"The one next to the junior brother is the senior brother, right?"

"Yes, that's the senior brother."

"Oh dear! Third Brother, why didn't you say so sooner! This is like the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple; we're family members who don't recognize each other!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Junyi immediately threw down his gun and ran towards Lin Chong.

"Senior Brother! I have long admired your name, but I have never met you. Please forgive me."

As soon as he approached Lin Chong, Lu Junyi apologized according to proper etiquette.

"Second Junior Brother, it's none of your business since we didn't reveal our identities."

Lin Chong helped Lu Junyi up.

"This must be my junior brother. I saw your martial arts skills were superb and your physique was extraordinary. I never expected that you were my junior brother! Junior brother, if you train like this for another seven or eight years, your senior brother will no longer be your match!"

Yue Fei was initially somewhat dissatisfied with his second senior brother Lu Junyi because Lu Junyi had defeated Ren Yuan, but upon hearing Lu Junyi's praise of him, he suddenly felt that his second senior brother was not so bad after all.

Okay, I'll reluctantly put you after Master, Senior Brother, and Eldest Brother.

"Second senior brother, you bullied your senior brother just now. I will definitely get revenge for you later."

Although he had forgiven Lu Junyi, Yue Fei still couldn't lose in words, so he put his hands on his hips and challenged Lu Junyi to a duel.

"Alright! I'll be waiting for the day my junior brother defeats me!"

Lu Junyi didn't mind. In fact, he thought the same as Ren Yuan: failure was acceptable, especially being defeated by his own fellow disciples. That was perfectly fine!

"Second Senior Brother, this kid has a long way to go before he catches up with you."

Ren Yuan then walked over and said to Lu Junyi.

"No, I was watching Junior Brother's marksmanship just now. It was like flowing water, incredibly exquisite. I've never seen anything like it before. How old is he? His moves are already so refined. I think Junior Brother is destined for great things."

The reason why Lu Junyi didn't recognize Yue Fei as being from the same school was because Yue Fei used a spear technique that Zhou Tong had only mastered in his later years. Lu Junyi had never learned it or seen it before. He only saw Yue Fei use it and thought that this spear technique was very powerful!

"That's something your master only realized after you graduated, so of course you haven't seen it."

Ren Yuan mentally complained, but said nothing on the surface.

"Second Junior Brother, what exactly is the misunderstanding between you and Master Li?"

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Lin Chong asked Lu Junyi.

"Ugh, it's all nonsense from that village chief of Zhu Family Village. He said that his Zhu Family Village was originally a law-abiding village, but later the village was swallowed up by Liangshan in collusion with Li Family Village and Hu Family Village, which is why they had to move to a place a little further away. When I heard that, I thought it was a land annexation issue. I thought I should help those in need, so I came to demand an explanation."

Lu Junyi explained:

"But I didn't expect that village chief to be so cunning. He actually lied to me! Alas, it's my fault. I didn't investigate properly before rushing to Li Family Village. I'll have to apologize to Village Chief Li properly later!"

"Second Senior Brother, why do you only have this many followers this time?"

Ren Yuan glanced around at the people around him again and noticed that Lu Junyi had brought very few people this time, and they didn't have any vehicles. So he casually asked about it.

“I originally came with my butler, but since I had business to do this time and the butler is not good at fighting, I let him leave first.”

Lu Junyi explained.

"Second Senior Brother, is your steward surnamed Li?"

"Yes, his surname is Li, and his name is Li Gu. What's wrong, Third Junior Brother? Do you know him?"

Lu Junyi was somewhat surprised. Although Li Gu had some reputation in Daming Prefecture, it was far less than that of Yan Qing. Why would his third junior brother, a man of the martial arts world, ask Li Gu instead of Yan Qing?

Alright, it really is Li Gu!

Upon hearing this, Ren Yuan immediately sensed something was amiss.

Could it be that Li Gu is about to run back to Daming Prefecture and steal my second senior brother's house?

But how should he tell his second brother that his house had been robbed?

Ren Yuan was troubled. What should he do? He needed help urgently...
