Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Zhang Dingbian and Kang Maocai saw their senior brother sitting there, and just as they were reacting, they noticed that the surrounding axe men were already prepared. Suddenly, they were surrounded, and Lu Feng stood up and said, ”My two junior brothers, long time no see, you both look as spirited as ever.”

The two of them looked at Lu Feng with unpleasant expressions. Kang Maocai spoke up, ”Lu Feng, you betrayed your master, causing our senior sister to jump off a cliff, breaking her legs and ruining her appearance. Are you aware of your crimes?”

Upon hearing Kang Maocai’s words, Lu Feng was taken aback, ”Oh, so junior sister didn’t die?”

Kang Maocai wanted to say more but was stopped by Zhang Dingbian, ”Lu Feng, I will still call you senior brother for now. You betrayed the master, your crimes are serious. Do you have anything to say?”

Lu Feng listened to this and looked at Zhang Dingbian, ”Heh, what’s there to say.”

”Don’t you want to explain why you did this?”

At this moment, Kang Maocai interjected with a questioning tone. Lu Feng laughed loudly, ”A bird chooses the best tree to nest, why should my martial skills start from the lowest ranks of poverty? I pledged allegiance to the Prime Minister, who grants me high status and wealth. With a wave of my hand, I have endless money and beauty, along with countless subordinates. Compared to now, what kind of wretched life were we living before?”

”My two junior brothers, heed your elder brother’s advice: master both literary and martial arts and sell your skills to the Emperor. There’s now an opportunity for us to shine, let’s seize it.”

”That old man was stubborn, so I killed him. Don’t emulate him. Stay stubborn if you want, but listen to your brother and come help me. The Prime Minister needs people now. If you join me, I’ll grant you high positions and wealth. How about we three brothers share prosperity?”

”Ha, I would rather die than associate with you ingrates who betray our master. All that wealth and honor, I don’t care!”

Kang Maocai shouted passionately at this moment.

Lu Feng listened and looked at Kang Maocai, ”You were useless from the start, shouting so loudly now changes nothing. Dingbian, you’re supposed to be the smart one, right?”

Lu Feng looked at Zhang Dingbian, who gave Lu Feng a slight nod, ”Senior brother’s words are true. Wealth and power, what man wouldn’t desire them? But Dingbian is a foolish person, with only loyalty and righteousness in his mind. I don’t like this wealth and power, senior brother!”

Lu Feng’s expression changed upon hearing this, and he angrily responded, ”Junior brother, are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?”

Looking at Lu Feng, Zhang Dingbian said, ”You come from a noble lineage. Your ancestors were prestigious figures at Daming Prefecture, how could you fall to such depths now?”

Lu Feng coldly laughed, ”Jade Qilin, yes, Hebei’s Jade Qilin, Daming Prefecture’s foremost aide, entering Shui Po, being embraced and revered, marching south and north, battling the Liao Kingdom, settling Tian Hu, subduing Fang La, earning fame and unparalleled achievements. But the outcome?”

”A cup of poisoned wine sent him to the afterlife.”

”Ha, that’s loyalty according to you. What use is loyalty? It’s just a guise for serving others. So, junior brother, let me tell you some heartfelt truths. To live well in this world, seek benefits. The world functions for self-interest. It’s not wrong; it’s what we should be doing.”

”Not clinging to outdated loyalty, guarding the pitiful Zhao Song. Look back, didn’t Zhao Song seize the empire from an orphan and widow?”

”Their claim to power was unjustified, why should we stay loyal to them?”

Lu Feng asked Zhang Dingbian, who responded, ”Senior brother, if you pursue power and benefit, go ahead. I won’t stop you. But why did you kill the master?”

Lu Feng looked at Zhang Dingbian, ”Heh, that’s a good question. Why?”

”Because he was in my way, like you are now!”

Lu Feng said to Zhang Dingbian, who replied, ”I understand. Then there’s nothing more to say today.”

After saying this, Zhang Dingbian pulled out two halves of a long spear from his back, instantly assembling them into a Silver Spear.

Lu Feng smiled at this moment, ”Second junior brother, it’s been long since we last dueled with spears. Now’s the time to show your progress to your senior brother.”

With that, Lu Feng lifted his long spear, and the room instantly turned chilly.

Seeing the spear, Kang Maocai exclaimed, ”Liquan Divine Spear! You actually stole the master’s Liquan Divine Spear!”

Lu Feng laughed, ”What do you mean by stole? I am the master’s senior disciple; this spear should naturally be passed to me. Who else but me should wield it?”

Kang Maocai instantly shouted, ”Liquan Divine Spear was General Yue’s weapon, only passed to those loyal to righteousness. How can you use it?”

Lu Feng laughed again, ”Hahaha... Loyal to righteousness? Am I not such a person? Who said only loyalty to Han people counts as righteousness? Is loyalty to Mulan people not considered righteousness?”

Kang Maocai shouted in anger, ”You are despicable! The Divine Spear with you will only be shamed!”

Lu Feng chuckled, ”Just a spear, even with mythical significance, it’s still just a spear.”

”And a spear is for killing!”

With those words, Lu Feng struck, piercing at Zhang Dingbian with his golden spear.

Zhang Dingbian was equally furious. The Liquan Divine Spear was a Divine Artifact, and everyone knew this.

Moreover, there was a widely told tale about this spear. The story goes that Yue Fei stumbled into a cave and encountered a giant python, where he fought it.
