Chapter 223 The Liu Family Gets Lively! The Retirement Ceremony!

The next day.

Wang Yang was still asleep when a knock came at the door: "Knock knock!"

Immediately afterwards, Shangguan Haitang's voice came from outside:

"Young master, it's time to get up and wash!"

Previously, many beauties would vie to serve Wang Yang in the morning.

Wang Yang finally decided to pin the matter on Shangguan Haitang.

Shangguan Haitang was very unwilling, but she had no choice.

Earlier, she had been drugged with aphrodisiacs, but fortunately Wang Yang arrived in time and rescued her.

However, the aphrodisiac took effect later, causing her to give herself to Wang Yang.

Whenever she thinks about this, Shangguan Haitang feels extremely conflicted.

She originally harbored deep resentment towards Wang Yang and even hoped that someone would kill him.

However, as time went by, Shangguan Haitang gradually developed a strange feeling for Wang Yang.

Sometimes, she wished Wang Yang were dead.

But sometimes, she was afraid that something might happen to Wang Yang.

Earlier in Fuzhou, Yan Shisan challenged Wang Yang to a duel.

When she saw Yan Shisan unleash the Fourteen Deadly Swords, she felt anxious for Wang Yang, fearing that he would die under Yan Shisan's sword.

If this had happened before, she would never have felt this way.

After all, when Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng challenged Wang Yang to a sword duel, she was thinking how wonderful it would be if Wang Yang could die under the swords of these two.

Just as Shangguan Haitang was lost in thought, the door opened.

Shangguan Haitang was startled when she saw Wang Yang appear in front of her.

"Um?"

Seeing that Shangguan Haitang was startled, Wang Yang frowned slightly and spoke softly:

"Little Begonia, what are you thinking about? You seem so distracted!"

"ah?"

Shangguan Haitang was stunned for a moment, unsure how to respond.

After a moment of hesitation, she stammered:

"Young master, please...wash your face!"

After saying this, Shangguan Haitang didn't wait for Wang Yang to say anything more.

He then carried the water directly into Wang Yang's room.

Seeing this, Wang Yang pursed his lips helplessly and didn't ask any more questions.

Before long, Zhao Min, Zhou Zhiruo, and other beauties all arrived at Wang Yang's room.

"Young master, the Liu family has been bustling with activity since early this morning!"

"Many people from the martial arts world have come here, probably because Liu Zhengfeng has retired from the martial arts world."

"Although many people came, most of them were not well-known figures in the martial arts world."

“Sister Yilin’s master, Abbess Dingyi, has also arrived.”

"And there's also Tianmen Daoist, the leader of the Taishan Sect."

"Yue Buqun, the Gentleman Sword of the Huashan Sect, also brought people from the Huashan Sect to the Liu family."

"Of course, it is the greatest honor for this Golden Hand Retirement Ceremony to have our Alliance Leader here!"

"..."

Hearing what the many beauties said, Wang Yang smiled calmly and didn't pay much attention.

He thought to himself that without the interference of the Songshan Sect, Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the martial arts world should go smoothly.

Before long, Zhou Botong, Yang Guo, Yue Laosan, E Tongtian, Lin Pingzhi, Xiaoyuer, Yang Xiao, and other members of the Ming Cult also arrived at Wang Yang's place.

"Brother Wang, the Liu residence is quite lively today! Quite a few martial arts figures have come. This is going to be fun!"

Zhou Botong was overjoyed.

He already knew that Yue Buqun of the Huashan Sect had also come to attend Liu Zhengfeng's "Golden Basin Washing Hands" ceremony.

Back when we were in Fuzhou.

Zhou Botong then stopped Yue Buqun and the other members of the Huashan Sect in the street, wanting to duel with Yue Buqun.

Unfortunately, Yue Buqun did not agree.

Later, Yang Guo was allowed to fight Linghu Chong of the Huashan Sect.

Now that he saw Yue Buqun also bringing his men to the Liu family, Zhou Botong naturally wanted to have a match with this famous "Gentleman Swordsman".

Seeing Zhou Botong's excited expression, Wang Yang smiled slightly and reminded him:

"You old rascal, play around as you please, but don't make fun of someone's retirement ceremony!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Botong smiled and nodded, saying:

"Don't worry, Brother Wang, I know what I'm doing!"

...

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was almost noon.

Liu Zhengfeng personally found Wang Yang and the others, and invited them to the main hall to watch the ceremony.

Under his guidance, Wang Yang and the others arrived at the main hall.

At this moment, the main hall of the Liu family residence was already filled with numerous martial arts figures.

Inside the main hall, there were seats, and those who could sit there were naturally people with a good reputation in the martial arts world.

Among them, Abbess Dingyi, Taoist Tianmen, and Yue Buqun had already taken their seats.

Before long, Liu Zhengfeng led Wang Yang and the others from the side hall into the main hall.

Upon seeing Wang Yang and his group, the assembled martial arts figures immediately began to discuss among themselves.

"oh?"

"So many beauties!"

"Who is this person following the head of the Liu family?"

"You don't even recognize him? That's Wang Yang, the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance!"

"Wang Yang?"

"Really? Liu Zhengfeng actually managed to invite someone like that?"

"I never imagined that Alliance Leader Wang was really as young as the rumors suggested!"

"Was it he who killed Zuo Lengchan and the Thirteen Protectors, causing the Songshan Sect to fall into decline?"

"He does look handsome and dashing, but... is he really that amazing?"

"With so many beauties around him, he must be a playboy, right?"

"..."

For a time, many martial arts practitioners whispered and discussed among themselves.

Some of them knew Wang Yang, while others did not, but they had all heard of his deeds.

Not far away, Yue Buqun and the others, who were seated, stood up to greet Liu Zhengfeng and Wang Yang upon their arrival.

Previously in Fuzhou, Yue Buqun and others had witnessed Wang Yang's prowess firsthand.

Mu Gaofeng and Jing Wuming of the Money Gang were easily killed by Wang Yang.

Those scenes, even now, remain vivid in the memories of Yue Buqun and the others.

"Alliance Leader Wang, please take a seat!"

After exchanging greetings, Liu Zhengfeng gestured to Wang Yang, indicating that he should take the seat of honor.

Wang Yang smiled calmly, and without any hesitation, went straight over and sat down.

Because of limited space and a large number of people, Zhao Min and the other beauties had no seats and all stood behind Wang Yang.

After Wang Yang sat down, Liu Zhengfeng walked up to the group of heroes, his face beaming, and bowed to invite Yue Buqun and the others to take their seats.

After everyone was seated.

Liu Zhengfeng's disciple brought out a tea table covered with brocade.

Then another disciple held a golden basin, which was gleaming and a foot and a half in diameter, in both hands and placed it on the tea table. The basin was already filled with clear water.

Once everything was ready, Liu Zhengfeng scanned the assembled martial arts figures and then said:

"I, Liu Zhengfeng, am deeply grateful for your long journey."

"Today I retire from the martial world and will never again concern myself with its affairs!"

"From this day forward, Liu Zhengfeng officially withdrew from the martial arts world."

"If my disciples wish, they may switch to another sect or school as they see fit."

"Liu invited you all here to be witnesses."

"If any of you come to Hengshan City in the future, you will naturally still be my good friends, Liu."

"However, I, Liu, will not concern myself with the various grudges and disputes in the martial arts world."
