An Unparalleled Master Of Martial Arts Chapter 17: The Banquet For Heroes

All are stunned. How can they imagine the sudden appearance of such a figure!

Yi Tianxing's anger fades and he asks "Sir, would you please let me know who the murderer is?"

"Mr. Yi, please read the letter." The man produces a letter and hands it to Yi Tianxing.

Yi Tianxing opens it and sees it from Chen Jitai, "At my appointment with Kong Yuan for a fight every five years, I went to the Mountain of Lunar Deities. My skill is not as good and I was hurt in the right leg. Quite by chance, I was rescued by the young man Lu Yun. Seeing that he is kind-hearted and filial, I gave him a piece of dark green jade."

Seeing this, Yi Tianxing has determined that Lu Yun is not the murderer.

Master Chen Jitai writes as a witness for Lu Yun's filial piety and the fact that he went to pick the herbs in the night for his father, which leaves no room to suspect Lu Yun as the murderer

"When I was back and learned about the bad news about clan Yi, I couldn't sleep at night. I used to think of Yi Xiao as my grandson. But I didn't expect such misfortune happened to him. When I tried every means to find out the truth, I was shocked. I hope it is not too shocking for you. The murderer is your fourth son, Yi Gang, who is jealous, killed Yi Xiao and intends to let his son take Yi Xiao's position."

After reading this letter, Yi Tianxing almost faints.

He never expected that it was one of his family members did that.

At the end of the letter, he notices a line of smaller characters. After reading it, he knows what he should do.

The clan Lu is upset and uneasy. They never thought the situation develops in an unexpected direction. From who is the letter? What is the relations.h.i.+p between the messenger and Lu Yun?

Did they offend someone very important?

After many speculations, Yi Tianxing says to Lu Yun, "Mr. Lu is a young hero, kind-hearted and filial. You are a rare talent. I am old and muddle-headed and sad at my grandson's death. I Listened to rumors and almost get you wronged. I hope you can accept my apology."

Lu Yun utters a sigh and says, "Patriarch Yi, let us bury the grief of all good. People cannot resurrect. Young as Lu Yun is, I can feel your pain of bereavement. Besides, I am honored to see Patriarch Yi."

At Lu Yun's words, Yi Tianxing finally understands why Chen Jitai values the young man so much. He immediately replies, "You are really a young hero. A moment ago, I was obsessed with the idea of killing you. You were not afraid but tried to defend you and your father. You are truly outstanding."

"Just I don't like being wronged." Lu Yun says.

"Fortunately, I learned about the truth in time to prevent me from killing the innocent!" After Yi Tianxing apologizes, he turns and looks at Lu Yu coldly, "I am sorry for the trouble brought to clan Lu! It is my fault for what happened today. After having the domestic issues straightened out, I'd like to come for a visit some other day. Then…"

After the words, Yi Tianxing gives his sleeve an angry shake, turns and leaves with his followers. 

Lu De feels paralyzed in his chair. The scheme he came up with not only failed to kill Lu Yun, but also displeased clan Yi. 

In addition, who is the mysterious person?

Lu Yu has to save his face immediately. He says to the mysterious person, "Thanks for your arrival in time preventing us from losing the talented young man Lu Yun. You are Mr. …?"

"I am n.o.body. My name is not worth mentioning." He has a look at Lu Yun and leaves the chamber like lightning.

Lu Yu was not happy, but his face is still filled with a smile. He turns to Lu Yun and says, "A misunderstanding! Continue your hard work. In the future, you will be among the seniors of clan Lu. And Lu Bo, you have brought up such a good child. Today I promote you as one of the core members of the clan and you are going to fulfill tasks in the city."

Lu Bo is very clear that it was Lu Yu who schemed against them and nearly brought them to death. He is filled with hatred.

But he sees in Lu Yun's eyes that he will revenge.

"Let's go home!" Lu Bo pretends to make peace and returns with Lu Yun.

On their way back home, Lu Bo says "Were I you, I might have pleaded guilty. I didn't expect that my son is so courageous and never give in. I am very proud of you."

Lu Yun replies with a smile.

After this incident, they know what to do.

When they pa.s.s by the gate of clan Lu, they see a carriage parked at the door, attracting countless spectators, talking about this luxury carriage, and who it is coming to pick up.

Coming down the carriage, a man says to Lu Yun, " Master Lu Yun, would you please go to the city with me?"

A question as it is, it seems that the driver has to take Lu Yun there.

Lu Yun notices the jewelry on the driver's belt is the same as the one worn by the person who saved him. It might be that the master of the two men saved him. He should go with them to say thank you.

Lu Yun is curious about who this person is, someone who can save his life. He doesn't know on what occasion they got to know each other. Maybe only when he sees the other's face can he answer all the questions.

"Dad, that carriage is closely related to the person who saved me. Let me go and see!" Lu Yun says.

Lu Bo is somewhat worried. He is afraid that this is another scheme.

After all, it is an invitation from a stranger. Why does it happen? But he still said yes to Lu Yun. At least, for the time being, Lu Yun doesn't have to worry about his life.

Lu Yun gets into the carriage and leaves clan Lu.

"My G.o.d! Didn't I get it wrong! That person called him Master Lu Yun. And, it is such a luxurious carriage! Why? Lu Yun suddenly becomes someone mysterious!"

In the carriage, Lu Yun could not help asking, "Sir, who saved me?"

"You will know when you are there." The driver answers.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Yun asks again.

"You will know when you are there." 

Lu Yun is disappointed and stops asking.

A moment ago, he was between life and death. Now, he has calmed down. But he is still at a loss about who saved his life.

The carriage is fast and they enter Yidong City at noon.

Yidong City is decorated with lights and is livelier than the temple fair.

Lu Yun lifts the curtain and sees that the pa.s.sers-by are all proud armed warriors. The hotels are full.

What happened?

Soon he got the answer from the conversation of pa.s.sers-by.

"Have you heard about it? The first guard of the prince, the strongest of the country, master Chen Jitai, comes back home. It is coincidentally his 80th birthday, and the city owner invited heroes to celebrate his birthday. All the invited are very important persons. Unfortunately, I am not qualified to show up at the banquet for heroes."

Lu Yun put down the curtain after hearing the words. He is far from being qualified to partic.i.p.ate in the feast. But he really wants to see who will attend the feast.

Arriving at Yidong City, the carriage continues. What is strange is that all those who see the carriage give their way to it. This makes Lu Yun more and more curious about where he is going. 

In the liveliest place, the carriage stops.

The coachman says to him that they arrive at their destination, the residence of clan Chen!

The carriage stops in front of the mansion, where the city owner lives. Today is master Chen Jitai's birthday. Lu Yun feels both puzzled and excited. 

Maybe this is an opportunity! Especially after the chief of clan Lu schemed against him, here, it might be the turning point in his life!

Seeing Lu Yun, the chamberlain hastens to him and says, "Mr. Lu! Please!"

At once, all turn to look at Lu Yun with the question in their eyes: Why does the person who is obviously humble both in financial situation and martial arts cultivation show up at the banquet for heroes?
