Chapter 386: Young Master Ning Zhuo is still too simple
Great Dispute Peak, back mountain, Ten Thousand Demon Cave.
"Big Senior Brother."
"Big Senior Brother! We have come to see you."
A group of people called out at the cave entrance.
A few breaths later, Linghu Jiu's voice came: "Come in."
A group of junior brothers led by Lao De all poured into the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and paid their respects to Linghu Jiu one after another.
"Big Senior Brother, are you doing well here?" Lao De took the lead in speaking.
Linghu Jiu shrugged: "Everything is fine; you guys don't know that I have long been accustomed to the environment here."
"What I worry about instead is Little Junior Sister."
"She is a lively personality, and now she has been grounded in her own room; wouldn't she be stifled?"
The junior brothers sighed along, and immediately, you say a word and I say a word.
"Yes, I am just as worried as Big Senior Brother."
"Yesterday, I got six new Sound Note Gu, put them in a cup, and had her personal maid send them to her to play with."
"Oh? I just sent a mechanism play puppet in the day before yesterday."
"I pleaded with Master, but was scolded severely, sigh..."
The feelings of the junior brothers were all very good. This was because when Lin Bufan accepted disciples, he specifically chose those with similar ages and cultivated them from childhood.
These people grew up together, so naturally, their feelings were deep.
Lao De changed the topic: "In my opinion, Little Junior Sister went too far this time. I don't know what kind of love potion that Ning Zhuo fed her to make her help him with all her might!"
"Big Senior Brother, we have pooled our money and paid off Little Junior Sister's external debts."
"However, that Ning Zhuo cannot be let off; he needs to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, everyone's heart will not be calm."
The topic led to Ning Zhuo, which immediately resonated with everyone.
"Yes, yes, that Ning Zhuo is too treacherous, relying on his good looks, sweet-talking, deceiving our Little Junior Sister!"
"We all paid a huge price, but he got the biggest benefit; this is absolutely unacceptable."
"Big Senior Brother, among us junior brothers, you treat Little Junior Sister the best. We don't recognize others, we only recognize you."
"Yes, Big Senior Brother!"
"Big Senior Brother, we have discussed it currently; it is very bad for us to take action against Ning Zhuo ourselves. Why not use the sect rules to instigate other stationed cultivators to go and find trouble for this kid Ning Zhuo."
"You don't know, Little Junior Sister is grounded, depressed every day, while that kid acts like nothing happened, throwing Little Junior Sister to the back of his mind, only caring about sparring and discussing martial arts with the newly met Hanzhou, living a very comfortable life!"
Linghu Jiu heard this, revealed a solemn expression, and shook his head to refuse: "This move is not allowed."
"There is no wall in the world that doesn't leak wind. If you want to instigate other cultivators to deal with Ning Zhuo, it will cause great damage to the reputation of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect."
"If this were to be disclosed, the results that the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect has carefully managed for so many years would be damaged by more than half."
"For the sake of mere private interests, disregarding the benefits of the entire sect, is this what we should do?"
The junior brothers could not help but fall silent, looking at each other.
Lao De said unwillingly: "Then Big Senior Brother, are we just going to let Ning Zhuo live so comfortably? He has made rapid progress recently, but many of these cultivation resources were paid for by us junior brothers out of our own pockets."
"We only need to show a little willingness, and those stationed cultivators will be like cats smelling fishy, taking the initiative to come and rely on us, willing to help us deal with Ning Zhuo!"
"And to make them keep it secret, we only need to sign a contract."
Linghu Jiu sighed: "Human hearts are easily changed. How fanatically they rely on you and me now, they might hate us just as much in the future. On the contrary, those who have always had a flat attitude are more reliable in character."
"Such shady matters are not what we upright gentlemen should do; don't think about it anymore."
"I have long been quite curious about this friend Ning Zhuo; when I leave the cave in the future, I will definitely meet him personally."
Lao De sighed: "Since that's the case, then let you, Big Senior Brother, handle it yourself."
The junior brothers exchanged again, chatting and laughing during the period, and finally bid farewell.
Leaving Great Dispute Peak, the other junior brothers then discussed unwillingly: "Are we just going to let it go like this?"
"Since Big Senior Brother said so, let's do it this way."
"Big Senior Brother has been grounded for several months, by then, the day lily will be cold. Ning Zhuo might have run away long ago!"
"If we just say he is greedy for money, then forget it. The key is that he deceived our Little Junior Sister's feelings and used our Little Junior Sister; can this be tolerated?!"
Lao De smiled slightly: "Big Senior Brother is just worried that we will destroy the reputation of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect."
"Why don't we do this, we will never come forward, never talk secretly with those stationed cultivators, and don't even have any hints in private."
"We just spread rumors! In my opinion, Ning Zhuo climbed too fast. At first, he was only in the two-hundred-plus ranking cave, and now he has jumped into the top ten."
"In the last battle, he won a quick victory against Chang Yan; can it reflect his true strength?"
"I think there are quite a few people who have the same doubts as me!"
"We only need to stir up a wave of rumors, and we should be able to instigate others to take the initiative to challenge Ning Zhuo."
The others heard this, their eyes shining, praising repeatedly.
"Good plan, good plan."
"This method is good, we didn't go down, just blowing wind."
"Even if investigated, it won't be investigated on us."
Small Dispute Peak, martial arts arena.
Ning Zhuo and Hanzhou were sparring.
But unlike before, Hanzhou was at a disadvantage, while Ning Zhuo firmly occupied the upper hand.
The reason for all this was that Ning Zhuo had mechanism arms and legs floating around him.
These arms, like floating hands, were all able to float in mid-air.
Ning Zhuo controlled them, constantly performing the martial art Frostbite Fist, and used those mechanism legs to perform the martial art Old Cold Legs.
If Hanzhou faced two hands and two legs, that would be fine. But the problem was, he was facing the siege of ten arms and ten legs together!
Hanzhou seemed to be besieged by a group of people, only able to retreat constantly, opening up the distance, attempting to find flaws.
As a result, he was surprised to find that Ning Zhuo's mechanism control technique level was extremely high, controlling these mechanism hands and feet, not only naturally and freely, but also with a tight formation, cooperating with each other, never having one that was rash, and there were no flaws at all!
"You... stop first, stop." Hanzhou was beaten for a while, really couldn't stand it, and directly waved his hand to call a stop.
Ning Zhuo was not satisfied: "Brother Hanzhou, I haven't mastered the control yet; I just had quite a lot of insights, perhaps I can use these mechanisms to perform different bitter cold martial arts."
Hanzhou's eye corners twitched.
He praised from the bottom of his heart: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, I never thought that your mechanism control technique would be so powerful, absolutely stronger than your martial arts, no, Five Elements spells!"
Hanzhou could also be considered to have traveled everywhere and broadened his horizons. After sparring with Ning Zhuo personally and experiencing the latter's mechanism arts, he immediately changed his understanding and evaluation of Ning Zhuo in his heart.
"So, Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo hides very deeply; what he is truly good at is not Five Elements spells at all."
This was quite different from the outside estimation!
"In that case, Brother Hanzhou, why don't you rest for a while, and we will practice again." Ning Zhuo's smile was like a spring breeze.
Hanzhou was not happy to continue sparring, but under the influence of Ning Zhuo's Buddha Heart Demon Seal, no, his smile, he still nodded.
Looking at Ning Zhuo standing in place, alone controlling these mechanism arms and legs, training seriously, and occasionally stopping to frown and think, Hanzhou couldn't help but look forward to the day when Ning Zhuo would show this combat power in public, and the reaction of others.
"Hehehe." He thought of the happy part and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Ning Zhuo's ears moved slightly, hearing Hanzhou's laughter, and a faint sense of pleasure arose in his heart.
"Brother Hanzhou gets along with me very harmoniously. When I saw him before, he was quite miserable. Now he is open-minded, and his daily smiles have increased."
"This feeling of making people around me happy is really quite good."
Today's sparring, Hanzhou was obviously much more staggering, and Ning Zhuo revealed a satisfied smile.
The effectiveness of the sparring was very good, which made him very gratified.
He bid farewell to Hanzhou, as if returning to the days when he and Lin Shanshan were together day and night.
Hanzhou turned and walked a few steps, then suddenly stopped and called out to Ning Zhuo: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, almost forgot, the wind has been a bit wrong recently."
"What's wrong?" Ning Zhuo revealed a look of doubt.
Hanzhou said: "It's about you. I don't know if you have noticed recently that there is a very bad rumor on Small Dispute Peak targeting you."
"Saying you are arrogant, looking down on people, saying your strength is actually insufficient, and it was just that you took advantage of the battle with Chang Yan before, occupying the results of a successful preemptive attack."
"In my opinion, it must be because you occupy the top ten cave of Small Dispute Peak, causing many people to be jealous."
"These people want to challenge you and compete for the cave in your hands, but they are afraid of failing the challenge, so they spread such rumors, wanting to instigate others to challenge you more, so as to pave the way for themselves."
Ning Zhuo immediately frowned: "So there is such a thing!"
"Brother Hanzhou, thank you for the reminder, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark." Ning Zhuo bowed deeply and thanked him.
Hanzhou sighed: "Fellow Daoist Ning Zhuo, you cannot just bury your head in training. Small Dispute Peak is not the same as your family environment; many times, fighting is not just a fair challenge, but there are many dark calculations off the field."
Ning Zhuo's brows frowned even tighter: "Then what should I do?"
Hanzhou didn't have any good method either, just urged Ning Zhuo to pay more attention: "I think you can challenge someone as soon as possible and reveal your mechanism arts. In this way, there will be no such slanderous rumors about you."
"Thank you for your guidance!" Ning Zhuo bowed again and said many words of thanks.
This led Hanzhou to think on the way back: "Ning Zhuo is a young master of a family after all, his mind is still too simple. Just started traveling, doesn't know the evil of human hearts."
"From these rumors, it can be seen that the environment he lived in before was relatively stable and beautiful."
"Sigh, speaking of which, I am extremely ashamed. Even if I approach him and spar and train with him, isn't it also because I want to convert him and have bad intentions." ===== CHAPTER 387 =====
