Chapter 387: Asking the Big Senior Brother for Help Again
"Fellow Daoist Unlike Ning Zhuo treats me with sincerity, am I going too far?"
Thinking of this, Hanzhou couldn't help but feel a lot of guilt again.
Unlike Ning Zhuo returned to his cave dwelling.
Sun Lingtong had already returned.
"Boss." Unlike Ning Zhuo whispered.
Sun Lingtong nodded at him and replied: "The source of this rumor has been investigated, Little Zhuo, take a guess, who is pushing behind the scenes to harm you?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo sneered: "This rumor came so urgently and abruptly; it should be Lin Shanshan's junior brothers who are dealing with me."
"After all, Boss, you also found out before that Lin Shanshan borrowed a lot to help me arrange the spirit plant cabin and paid a heavy price."
"These junior brothers paid off her external debts, but it benefited me; they also don't want me to be too close to Lin Shanshan. Sigh, using the heart of a villain to measure my gentleman's heart, naturally, they want to retaliate against me."
Sun Lingtong clapped his hands: "Right, you guessed it again, hahahaha."
Unlike Ning Zhuo said: "Guessing this point is not difficult, and there is nothing to be proud of. Their means of spreading rumors are inferior, and there are many places that can be improved."
Sun Lingtong nodded: "It's obviously a novice move; first they want to remove themselves, but as a result, many places have revealed clues."
When it comes to spreading rumors, the Sun-Ning duo are the best. Lin Shanshan's junior brothers are still too immature in front of them.
Sun Lingtong looked at Unlike Ning Zhuo and said eagerly: "I have collected the relevant evidence. As long as it is thrown out, it will definitely make the other party look good, ahahaha!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo, however, shook his head: "This is not Fire Persimmon Xiancheng; it is someone else's territory. I have some understanding of Lin Bufan's style of doing things, but it is not deep."
"Throwing out this evidence rashly, for us, there is no benefit, but the risk is even greater."
"Who knows if Lin Bufan will protect his own and take dark actions against us?"
"After all, these disciples of his were all adopted by him uniformly, like teacher and father, and their feelings are very deep."
A sharp light flashed in Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes: "Keep this evidence first; it might have a key role in the future!"
"If Old Ancestor Ning Jiufan is persuaded by me, it is very likely that he will bring that Demon Ape to the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect. At that time, perhaps our actions can be bigger."
"A gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late."
Unlike Ning Zhuo is good at enduring.
In Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, he endured and disguised himself for more than ten years, and only then did he explode with style in the Molten Rock Xian Gong.
Sun Lingtong nodded: "Little brother, just follow what you said."
Ever since the incident at the Lava Xian Gong, Sun Lingtong had gained a deeper understanding of Unlike Ning Zhuo, and in his heart, he felt a faint admiration for his younger brother's shrewdness and far-sightedness.
Unlike Ning Zhuo deliberately chose not to take action, letting the public opinion unfavorable to him continue to ferment.
Various voices looking down on him continued to spread.
Finally, someone couldn't hold back and handed a challenge letter to Unlike Ning Zhuo.
Unlike Ning Zhuo reacted quickly and accepted this private challenge, crushing his opponent with powerful wood-element spells.
Not long after, someone challenged again.
Unlike Ning Zhuo won again with wood-element spells, and his prestige rose greatly.
The stationed cultivators on Small Dispute Peak gradually realized Unlike Ning Zhuo's true strength. But Lin Shanshan's junior brothers continued to launch, starting to guide public opinion, only saying—
Unlike Ning Zhuo's means are single; this time he won with wood-element spells, but in fact, he only has these three axes. If someone can make his preemptive attack fail, or withstand these three axes, then victory is not far away!
This argument made the cultivators itch with desire.
Finally, it attracted a cultivator whose combat power was recognized as top ten—Hua Guzi!
This female cultivator always acted in a high-profile manner, and before submitting the challenge letter, she did a lot of publicity, calling friends and companions, in order to force Unlike Ning Zhuo.
Once Unlike Ning Zhuo refused to accept the challenge, his reputation would definitely fall.
The challenges on Small Dispute Peak have a process. Many people challenge a cave at the same time, which will be judged by the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect, deciding on a challenger to conduct a public challenge on the day of the Small Dispute.
Except for this fixed day of Small Dispute, for the rest of the time, cultivators can fight privately.
During the time Unlike Ning Zhuo entered the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, the real day of Small Dispute was only his battle against Hanzhou and his battle against Chang Yan; the rest were personal duels, but they were all public, allowing others to watch.
Hua Guzi was the same this time.
Unlike Ning Zhuo did not refuse anyone and accepted the challenge on the spot.
As a result, a huge craze was quickly triggered on Small Dispute Peak!
Unlike Ning Zhuo was the newcomer who had stood out recently and had the strongest momentum, while Hua Guzi always acted in a high-profile manner, and her combat power was recognized as top ten.
A contest of this level was rare even in every round of the Small Dispute Day.
People speculated one after another who would win.
"Hua Guzi is an old powerhouse after all; her cultivation is at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and she has a great advantage over Unlike Ning Zhuo."
"Didn't Chang Yan also have a cultivation advantage? But he was still knocked down by Unlike Ning Zhuo's three axes of wood-element spells."
"That can't be said. Chang Yan is good at earth-element spells and was specifically targeted by Unlike Ning Zhuo. But Hua Guzi is also good at wood-element."
"If we really talk about preemptive attacks, Hua Guzi is also a fighting style of preemptive attacks, and she is very strong when fighting!"
So, everyone started discussing again whether the outcome of this battle would be decided by an important factor like "who succeeds in the preemptive attack when the battle starts."
Original Mountain.
Lin Bufan's mansion.
In the boudoir, Lin Shanshan was lying on the round table, looking extremely bored.
In the center of the round table, there was a vase, planted with a Mist Show Orchid.
"So much time has passed, I don't know how Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo is doing?" Lin Shanshan's eyes were listless, looking at the Mist Show Orchid in front of her, thinking of the white-clothed youth in her heart.
"Miss, it's time to eat." Lin Shanshan's personal maid pushed the door and entered, carrying a food box.
Lin Shanshan ate the exquisite lunch, but it tasted like nothing.
The personal maid knew her young lady's temperament very well and advised: "Miss, you have lost a lot of weight recently, why bother? You should look at it openly."
Lin Shanshan heard the sound, her expression numb, her eyes dull. She was a lively person, and being grounded was extremely wearing on her mood.
The maid couldn't bear it and blurted out: "I have the latest news about Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo here."
Lin Shanshan was like being touched by electricity, suddenly startled, her eyes glowing: "Tell me quickly! Has he been challenged again?"
"Hehe, most of those stationed cultivators are no match for him; they are all clay chickens and pottery dogs."
The maid sighed: "But this opponent is not ordinary."
"Now, the entire Small Dispute Peak is very noisy, and everyone is very concerned about this battle."
Lin Shanshan's face changed slightly: "Who is it? Lai Wuying, or Zheng Xingchen?"
The maid shook her head: "It's Hua Guzi."
"It's her." Lin Shanshan first breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned again, "Hua Guzi herself practices wood-element cultivation techniques, and the time she has spent immersing herself in wood-element spells is much stronger than Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo. And she also often adopts preemptive tactics, which can indeed threaten Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo."
"What to do?"
Lin Shanshan revealed a look of worry.
The maid saw that mentioning Unlike Ning Zhuo instead made Lin Shanshan stop eating, and she regretted it, advising: "Miss, eat more; only when you eat more can you have the strength to use your brain and think of a way for Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo."
Lin Shanshan nodded: "You are right."
She obviously accelerated the speed of eating, and her appetite increased greatly.
The maid was feeling proud of herself, when Lin Shanshan suddenly stopped again: "Among the Five Elements, Metal overcomes Wood, Wood gives birth to Fire, so if Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo uses Metal-element attacks and Fire-element protection, he will definitely have an advantage."
"Comprehension Law Diagrams, he needs Comprehension Law Diagrams."
"According to his comprehension, before this battle happens, he can completely comprehend the offensive spells of Fire-element and Metal-element."
"Sigh, I am grounded now, who else can help him?"
"Hanzhou, this poor guy won't work!"
"Xiao Ju, you have to help me." Lin Shanshan suddenly stood up, walked to her personal maid Xiao Ju, grabbed her shoulders tightly, her eyes full of determination.
The personal maid Xiao Ju's face turned pale, and she stammered: "Mi, Miss, how could you forget why you were grounded."
"Last time, you helped Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo too much, and even delayed your daily cultivation homework. This time, do you still want to help him like this?"
Lin Shanshan shook her head: "Last time, it was indeed my impulse."
"I have reflected recently and also feel that I went too far. Therefore, I have never blamed my father; this time I was grounded, I deserved it."
"The senior brothers paid off my external debts; when I have money in the future, I will definitely repay them."
"These are all small matters!"
Lin Shanshan had not been in contact with Unlike Ning Zhuo recently, so for a period of time, she was not affected by the Buddha Heart Demon Seal.
Therefore, she regained her calm, and after various emotions were not disturbed by the outside world, her thoughts and feelings all returned to normal.
In a calm state, she also reflected on herself and knew she had made a mistake.
"At that time, I was indeed a bit carried away." Lin Shanshan did not suspect anything else, only feeling that it was her own impulse.
⊙co
But Lin Shanshan in a normal state still wanted to help Unlike Ning Zhuo!
"Just say that I have many insights in my cultivation technique and need to comprehend a few Metal-element and Fire-element Comprehension Law Diagrams." Lin Shanshan thought of a way.
The maid Xiao Ju stared: "Miss, are you really going to do this?"
She hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Then what about Big Senior Brother?"
Compared to the outsider Unlike Ning Zhuo, Xiao Ju and many senior brothers all knew Linghu Jiu's feelings for Lin Shanshan, but Lin Shanshan had never noticed it.
Being reminded of this, Lin Shanshan's eyes lit up, she excitedly hugged Xiao Ju and kissed her forehead.
Lin Shanshan excitedly said: "Right, why didn't I think of this?"
"I should ask Big Senior Brother for help!"
"Now everyone knows about the battle between Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo and Hua Guzi. If I ask for Metal-element and Fire-element Comprehension Law Diagrams now, I will inevitably be noticed by the senior brothers and my father, and easily suppressed."
"If I ask Big Senior Brother to come forward, wouldn't that be fine?"
"Xiao Ju, you are truly my intimate friend, thank you for your reminder!"
Xiao Ju shook her head repeatedly, panicked to the point of cold sweat: "Miss, Miss, you misunderstood me, I didn't mean that."
Lin Shanshan ignored her, her eyes full of expectation: "Big Senior Brother has always taken good care of me; although he is lazy, his capacity and pattern are very large, and he is tolerant to others. Other senior brothers have many opinions on Young Master Unlike Ning Zhuo, but he definitely won't! He is the one who can help me the most."
Xiao Ju stared, full of disbelief: "Miss, are you serious?"
"Of course I am serious!" Lin Shanshan immediately gave the order, letting Xiao Ju take her letter to Great Dispute Peak's Ten Thousand Demon Cave to ask Linghu Jiu for help.
Xiao Ju, as a maid, couldn't resist Lin Shanshan at all and had to obey.
"Heavens, this world is too crazy."
"Big Senior Brother is such a good person, why should he suffer such torture?"
"Don't blame me, don't blame me!" ===== CHAPTER 388 =====
