Jiang Ming ingrained Zhou Tian's condition deep in his heart.
Since their relationship dropped to -77, it meant that if Zhou Tian had the chance, he would kill him without hesitation. If she hated him so much, then what about Junior Sister who defeated him?
He must hate her so much, right?
‘Life is so beautiful, so why should you have a death wish? Is it really bad to stay alive?’ Jiang Ming shook his head.
The pages are turned over and someone else's notes appear.
Name: Cang Yun
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Cultivation Base: Primal Spirit Realm
Background: An Elder of the Great Zhou Dynasty
Relationship: 39
Innate Talent: Nine Stars
Status: Secretly protecting Zhou Tian, 18th Prince. When he witnessed Zi Linglong's strength, he exclaimed inwardly, expressing his disbelief at the appearance of the golden phoenix within the mountain. When he saw how irritated Zhou Tian was after he was defeated, he sighed deeply. Even though he knew the prince would not listen to him, he still tried his best to calm him down. He told her to stay humble and humble because she was in a foreign land. After all, even if he was a prince, he would still be killed or killed if he accidentally met a cruel person. At that time, even the Great Zhou Dynasty would be unable to do anything about it. Moreover, if he really wanted others to be under his command, he should be humble and open-minded. If he could not do that, then how would he put others under his command? Isn't that bullshit? Huh, I did everything I needed to do. It's up to him now!
‘It can record the inner thoughts of others as well !? Jiang Ming was stunned. He could not understand how “status” works at all. Sometimes, it will be very short, but at other times it will be very detailed.
That said, according to him this old man known as Cang Yun was rather open-minded. It was a pity that he was following such a petty master.
While Jiang Ming was thinking, he came to the courtyard.
He made a teapot, poured a cup, and handed it to his Master. After which, he sat next to his Master with his Old Brother while waiting for his Master to start talking.
“You have done an amazing job today, Linglong,” Gu Hai said after sipping a cup of tea and clearing his throat.
“Master, Junior Sister has made you proud, hasn't she?” Jiang Ming chimed in and smiled, “The 18th Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a high social status, not to mention he is extremely strong. He had never been defeated since he stepped into the Eastern Region, but what happened to him after he came to the Jiuyang Sect?
“He was kicked by my sister. From today onwards, everyone will see you from a different perspective. You must be an immortal sage for being able to raise such an impressive disciple like my Junior Sister! ”
“A wise immortal?” Gu Hai's eyes shone, and he nodded happily. However, when he saw the facial expression of his disciple through the corner of his eyes, his face sank. “Never try to change the topic, Son. I'm sure with your intelligence, you know what problems we will face next, right?”
Keeping a smile on his face, Zi Linglong looked at them and listened.
“What's the problem?” Jiang Ming handed over a cup of tea to his Junior Sister. He then raised his own cup and took a sip before continuing. “Are you worried that Zhou Tian will come back for revenge? Don't worry, I'm sure he won't do that. After all, he's a prince, and his reputation will only be damaged if he actually comes to attack us in secret.
“In addition, they have been setting rules ever since they stepped into the Eastern Region, and it is that people of the older generation are forbidden from joining the fight. In that case, no one can defeat my Young Brother.
“If you are talking about people from the demon sect, then you can be sure.
“No one knows how many powerful beings there are in the Eastern Region. All we can say is that there are many of them, and they are all hiding in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to make a name for themselves. No one dared to kill the young prodigy openly, not even the demon sect. This was because waking up the beehive was the last thing they wanted to do!
“Therefore, more trust in your disciple, Master,” said Jiang Ming.
“Of course, I believe in my disciple,” said Gu Hai, “But the Jiuyang Sect, after all, is a small sect. We cannot bear the consequences of messing with the wrong people. Moreover, even if everything you say makes sense, what if they come back for revenge after everyone forgets about it?”
“At that time, my Young Brother will become stronger, and I believe he can protect us!”
“Are you sure of that? Although it seemed like he was making a lot of progress, no one knew when he would stop. If that happens, what should we do? What about your Young Brother? How're you? What about me? And what about the sect?”
Looking at his Senior Brother, Zi Linglong was stunned. He did not know why, but it seemed like his Senior Brother had suddenly become extremely confident. He looked as if he could break every curve ball that life threw at him. He even started to wonder about the possibility of his Senior Brother finding a certain opportunity because of him. However, he immediately rejected that thought. After all, his Senior Brother had never left the mountain before.
“You?” Gu Hai sneered. “If we have to rely on you, we better disband the entire sect!” He turned to look at Zi Linglong and said, “In the future, if you are challenged by someone else again, then, can you promise me that you won't kill someone like you did today?”
Zi Linglong blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Ming.
“Of course!” Jiang Ming nodded. “After all, we are a true sect. We will not want to take the lives of others, and we will only kill someone when we are pushed into a corner. Also, we cannot show mercy to our enemies!”
“OK!” Zi Linglong nodded obediently.
Gu Hai opened his mouth and stroked his beard. He was made silent. Originally, he wanted to tell Zi Linglong that he should not take the lives of others even if they were enemies. However, she was worried that it would upset her and make her disappointed in him. That said, what if he accidentally provoked a being stronger than him after killing someone?
Gu Hai was torn apart. He looked at Jiang Ming, who sipped his tea and snorted. “Go get something ready for me to eat. I want 32 plates. If I don't like any dish, I will hit you with my whip ten times!”
Zi Linglong closed his mouth and giggled.
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless. He got up and went to the kitchen. After all, there was nothing he could do but follow his Master's orders.
Seeing how obedient Jiang Ming was, Gu Hai was delighted.
After finishing eating, Zi Linglong took out the precious medicinal herb. It was a high-end Jet Black Blue. The aroma it emits can calm the mind and clear the mind. It was a good thing to use during cultivation.
Zi Linglong gave it to his Master.
Gu Hai refused to accept it, but Zi Linglong insisted. In the end, he planted it in a jade flower pot and spread some high-grade spirit crystals around it as nutrients. He then placed it in the courtyard, and the air was instantly engulfed by a strong scent.
Jiang Ming knew that his Master was doing this for the two of them as well.
The next day, as they had expected, a disciple from a family in Zhong Province came to them and challenged Zi Linglong to a fight. She's powerful.
‘Should we reject that challenge? But since we accepted the challenge yesterday, it makes no sense if we refuse to accept any challenge today.
‘How about letting another student accept the challenge? That won't work either.
‘The challenger is a martial artist in the Dao Seed Realm, so should I send an elder or First Chair to accept the challenge? No, no, it can't!’ thought Sect Master.
He could sense that someone was watching them from the darkness, and he felt a chill running down his spine. Leaving with no other choice, he went to Chuyang Peak and looked for Zi Linglong.
Without a doubt, Zi Linglong defeated the challenger easily.
There was a challenger every day for the next three days. Jiang Ming was annoyed, let alone Zi Linglong.
After he defeated the other challengers, Jiang Ming gathered Chang Yiming, Zhang Junbao, and Huo Yun to discuss how they should face the challenger.
They could not resist that challenge, but it would bring them more trouble if Zi Linglong continued to win and attract more attention.
How about pretending to be defeated? To lose intentionally means to humiliate others. After all, it was an open challenge.
“We are already in the eye of the storm, and there is nothing we can do.” Huo Yun, First Chair of Lieyang Peak, frowned and said, “Go into seclusion? Considering the attitude of those people, they might cause chaos in our sect to force Linglong out and fight them. He also could not leave the sect.
“Again, there were so many people watching him, and leaving the sect now was like walking straight into a snake pit. However, if we continue to accept the challenge, it will only attract more people to come and challenge it. It's hard.”
“Assessing from the current situation, we can only accept the challenge,” Zhang Junbao said. “But how can we make it work as we want?”
“Simple,” Chang Yiming said as a wicked smile appeared on his fat face, “I have a plan.”
