He felt that he had done it secretly, but at this moment, he was bewildered. He did not know if Zhou Jing had seen through him.

Zhou Jing ignored the little thief and turned to talk to Gao Yun. He introduced himself and Fang Zhen, but he did not mention their respective Green Forest titles.

Gao Yun was originally from the North, his scope of operations also mostly based there and was familiar with only the Northern Green Forest group, but he did not know much about the Southern Green Forest outlaws. Therefore, he did not recognize Fang Zhen at this moment, let alone a “reborn” Zhou Jing, who had changed to plain clothes.

However, the little thief’s expression changed. He secretly sized up the three of them, as if he had heard of their names before, but he had no intention of speaking.

Everyone was familiar with martial arts. After chatting for a while, the topic quickly changed to that.

Gao Yun’s tone was filled with admiration as he spoke,

“Brother Chen Feng, I’ve been a bodyguard for many years. I’ve encountered at least 80 experts, but no one has your level of strength.”

“I once lived in the wilderness and fought against lions and tigers with my bare hands all year round. I ate the meat of tigers and leopards, and as time passed, I developed a good strength.”

Zhou Jing laughed. It was indeed useful to use this excuse.

“I see.” Gao Yun came to a realization and asked curiously, “Brother Chen is talented and enviable. I wonder what weapon you’re good at?”

Generally speaking, it was a huge taboo to rashly interrogate a stranger about their martial arts background in the pugilistic world. However, it was not rude to only ask about the other party’s weapon.

Zhou Jing did not hide anything and said, “I know how to use blades, but I don’t use it often. I use a staff as a spear.”

Hearing this, Gao Yun’s interest was immediately piqued, “So Brother Chen is also good at spears. We’re all fellow Daoists. If you don’t mind, we can compete in spear techniques.”

......

However, Zhou Jing waved his hand and smiled,

“I’m not afraid of you laughing at me, Brother. The fact is, I don’t know any profound spear techniques, and I’ve never met a master. Up until now, I only know a set of ordinary Mid-Level Spear Techniques. In terms of spear techniques, I’m far from being Brother Gao’s match.”

Gao Yun was stunned for a moment before he said, “But with Brother Chen’s divine power, you can even break simple moves with force.”

“Hahaha, Brother Gao, you don’t have to praise me. I know my own shortcomings.” Zhou Jing did not mind.

At this moment, Gao Yun pondered for a while before suddenly saying,

“Seeing that Brother Chen and I hit it off at first sight, I wish to disturb you for a few days and exchange some spear techniques. What do you think, Brother?”

Zhou Jing understood the hidden meaning. This person seemed to want to teach him spear techniques. He could not help but be surprised and asked, “Can your spear techniques be taught casually?”

He still remembered this person’s domineering spearmanship. It was clearly quite extraordinary in this world.

When Gao Yun heard this, he immediately explained,

“It’s good to teach you, brother. I’ve been practicing my family’s spear techniques since I was young. My skills came from this, so I naturally can’t teach them to others. However, later on, I learned some spear techniques that were widely circulated in the martial world, but they do not bear the mark of any Sect.

You can learn them even at the martial arts school, so it’s naturally fine to teach them to you. Because they’re all common goods, Brother Chen doesn’t have to treat me as a teacher. We can just treat it as an exchange of spear techniques.”

Gao Yun suddenly had this thought as he wanted to thank Zhou Jing for his help, and secondly, he wanted to get close to Zhou Jing and befriend such a person.

Zhou Jing thought for a moment and agreed without any pleasantries.

Learning a few more spear techniques from this world would give him more experience when facing enemies. He could also further experience the characteristics of the martial arts in this world.

With this, the atmosphere became even more lively. The few of them ate and drank, chatting non-stop.

At this moment, Fang Zhen swallowed a piece of fish and suddenly asked, “Brother Gao, what are your plans after your visit?”

Gao Yun shook his head, “I don’t have any plans. Perhaps I can take a walk in the south and broaden my horizons.”

Fang Zhen’s eyes lit up as he smiled.

“Haha, this is fate. Brother Chen and I are both wanderers. Why don’t you travel with us and drink and discuss martial arts?”

“Well…”

Gao Yun was a little tempted.

However, after thinking for a moment, he did not agree immediately.

“I want to consider it after visiting a friend. I won’t hide it from the two of you. It’s said that the friend I’m visiting this time has encountered a calamity and was captured by the officials. He’s being held in the prison camp here. When I heard the news, I came all the way here. Other than to talk to him, I also wanted to see if he needed help. If he wants to escape, I’ll break the law to save him at all costs. I don’t want to implicate the two of you…”

Hearing this, Zhou Jing and Fang Zhen’s expressions suddenly became strange.

After hesitating for a moment, Fang Zhen asked in a low voice,

“The friend you’re going to visit isn’t called Guo Haishen, right?”

Gao Yun’s expression changed as he hurriedly asked, “Do the two of you know him as well?”

Fang Zhen immediately laughed and slapped the table.

“Haha, the Iron Arm Azure Dragon, Guo Haishen, a top-notch hero of the Green Forest outlaws. I’ve always admired him. How can I not know him?!”

Zhou Jing was no stranger to this name. Along the way, he had long heard Li Chun and the other two mention it dozens of times.

Apart from discussing business, Li Chun and the other two also wanted to meet this person.

If the Divine Mace Lu Yunzhao’s reputation in the Green Forest Path was at the unit of one, then Guo Haishen’s reputation was at least ten.

This person was one of the pinnacle figures in the Green Forest. He was skilled and had a wide range of contacts. It was even said that he was well networked that people would bring over toilet paper for him if he forgot to bring any before taking a sh*t.

This person’s reputation in the Green Forest was all because he had fought with others. From the north to the south, he sparred with various Green Forest characters and martial artists. He had even fought with the “Heavenly King” who was known as the number one expert in the Green Forest. They had fought for 50 to 60 rounds, but they could not determine who won or lost.
