An Unparalleled Master Of Martial Arts Chapter 6: A Tattered Volume From An Ancient Grave

At this time, the old man comes out of the house with Lu Bo.

Lu Bo apologetically says to the old man, "Mr. Sun, I am really sorry!"

The old man says, swaying his hand, "Oh, it is my granddaughter who is not so fortunate."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lu Yun is secretly happy. It must have been that his father has declined the proposal. The presence of Lu Zixuan is even more appropriate.

Sun Mengxue feels color flame up in her cheeks. She firmly believes that Lu Yun definitely has something to do with Lu Zixuan. Otherwise, Lu Bo will not refuse directly. For a time, she really wants to dig a hole for herself on the ground.

The old man sees that his granddaughter crying but it is inconvenient to ask at the moment. He knows that his granddaughter has always opposed to the marriage. But he did not expect that he was refused.

When seeing Lu Zixuan, he comes to understand.

The old man takes Sun Mengxue’s hand and says helplessly, "Let's go."

Sun Mengxue looks back at the indifferent Lu Yun, turns and leaves with her grandfather.

Lu Bo feels his refusal to the marriage is somewhat inappropriate. Lu Zixuan’s arrival happens to give him an out. It’s just that he doesn’t know either why Lu Zixuan happens to come to his home.

"Dad!" Lu Yun grins. The father and son understand each other. There is no need for many words.

"Were it in the past, I might have agreed today. Nowadays, you still have a long way to go. You can't be confined here because of that little girl." Lu Bo says.

"Good morning, Uncle Lu." Lu Zixuan says politely.

At this time, the father and son feel embarra.s.sed at Lu Zixuan's unexpected arrival.

Lu Zixuan immediately understands their expression and explains,  "Today is a day for a temple fair. I'd like to ask if I can go with my cousin Lu Yun to have a walk there. It has been a long time since he went for an outing last time. "

Lu Bo smiles, thinking, "Good boy, you can even win Zixuan's heart."

Lu Zixuan and Lu Yun share the same family name, but they are not close relatives. Therefore, Lu Bo is very happy that Zixuan takes a liking to Lu Yun.

He immediately pulls Lu Yun aside and slips a small bag into his arms. He said: "There is enough silver inside. You have been practicing at home all these days, and you should take some time to go out for a walk."

Lu Yun cannot refuse at this moment since Lu Zixuan somewhat helped him. Hence he agrees.

The two bid farewell to Lu Bo and go to the market.

The City of Yidong, where Clan Lu is located, is a big city in the Southern State of Prosperity. There are temple fairs at this time of the year. The temple fair is very lively, gathering all kinds of people from the countries on the Eastern Continent. Some give performances while some sell various treasures.

Before he was ten years old, Lu Yun went to the temple fair with Lu Zixuan every year. When they were young, they were childhood sweethearts. At that time, Lu Zixuan was not as beautiful as she is now.

She was a crybaby following Lu Yun all day and telling him who had pulled her plaits.

When the crybaby grows up, her plaits become locks of black hair and the girl is getting more and more beautiful. Lu Yun is gradually drifting away from her. How can a good-for-nothing be with the fairest?

There are a lot of youngsters who want to go to the temple fair with Lu Zixuan. They try every means to please her, including Lu Ji. But Zixuan keeps herself behind closed doors every year during the temple fairs, leaving them disappointed.

It might be that Lu Zixuan doesn't want to create a disturbance. She takes Lu Yun to cross the grove and make a devious way to get out of the Clan Lu. Then, they get on a carriage to the market.

In the carriage, the two look at each other. A faint pink flush colors Zi Xuan's cheeks and she s.h.i.+fts her gaze.

She lifts the curtain, pretending to enjoy the scenery, and casually says, "It has been five years since you accompanied me to the temple fair last time."

"Yes?" Lu Yun says, playing dumb. "You know that you are gorgeous now while I am just ordinary."

“No!” Lu Yan says emotionally, “In my heart, you have always been excellent!”

At the words, a blush creeps up her face again.

Yes, when everyone ridicule that Lu Yun is a good-for-nothing, only Lu Zixuan secretly encourages him. She was afraid of bringing unnecessary troubles to Lu Yun and keeps away from him.

But in the morning, she saw Sun Mengxue and her grandfather and inadvertently heard their conversation, which made her worried. She asked herself what if Lu Yun says yes to the proposal.

This time, Lu Zixuan stopped caring so much and came to look for Lu Yun.

Along the way, the two don't have a lot to talk, but both feel very comfortable.

Clan Lu is only ten miles away from the city of Yidong. It takes them no time to get to the city gate.

The city is very big. At the time of the temple fair, it is decorated with colorful lights and bustling with people coming in and out of the city. In the crowd, Lu Zixuan still causes quite a stir.

Everyone intentionally or unintentionally, look at Lu Zixuan, and then at Lu Yun with envy. Lu Yun feels very pleased.

As time goes by, the cold glamour of Lu Zixuan gradually disappears. She is like an ordinary little girl, hand in hand with Lu Yun, wanders around in the city.

Watching performances, eating food and shopping, the two enjoy the time together until at dusk, when the people from Clan Lu increases, they decide to leave.

Although Lu Zixuan is reluctant to do so, she still has to put herself in Lu Yun's shoes.

If they run across the youngsters from Clan Lu, they will surely sneer at Lu Yun.

Pa.s.sing by a shop that sells rare stuff, they want to buy some souvenirs before leaving for home.

This shop has been there since their childhood. They always have unexpected gains there.  Of their own accord, they enter the shop.

At crossing the threshold, Lu Yun notices that the shop owner is not the same as before.

In the dim-lighted store. The shop owner's eyes look foxy!

The owner looks at Lu Yun carefully and says with a smile, "This young man is already a fourth-level commoner of the Mystery at such a young age. You have a really promising future!"

Lu Zixuan has previously noticed that Lu Yun has changed. As the shop owner says so, she turns her attention to Lu Yun too. The good-for-nothing in others' eyes has made rapid progress.

She says in a joke, "It seems that someone has not told me what happened to him."

Lu Yun smiles, playing the fool, "It just happens that I come to understand and improve in my cultivation."

"I remember you practice with the human-level method. If you have a better one, your progress will be unimaginable." Lu Zixuan says so, as happy as she has made such progress.

“Oh?” the shop owner smiles, “You are here at the right good time. I have got a good volume a few days ago, which was discovered in an ancient grave.”

Lu Yun says, "This kind of work is definitely expensive."

The ordinary human-level method of superior quality sells 1,000 silver coins and it is all that his father has given him.

The shop owner says, waving his hands, "Although it is from an ancient grave, it is only a human-level method of medium quality. I am to sell it for 500!"

“Five hundred?” Lu Yun is a bit suspicious, “Please let me have a look!”

There was a change in the shop owner's expression and it quickly resumes to normal. This subtle change has been seen by Lu Yun. He says to himself, "There must be something fishy!"

"Haha! Finally, here is one who is to buy a pig in a poke!", the shop owner thinks, "Although the method in the volume is good, the volume is incomplete.  At his age, he can absolutely see nothing strange! After he buys it and practices at home till the end of the volume, it will be too late when he realizes that he is deceived!"

Then, the shop owner comes up with a tattered volume.

Lu Yun stays calm and collected, looks at the volume carefully and turns a few pages.

Suddenly, a heatwave pours from his fingertips into his body.
