Chapter 232: Gong Mochen, Zhao Zhongzhu

A man in white robes carrying a sword walked out from the crowd and looked at Guo Zhuying.

He merely glanced at Lu Tianyu once and did not look again.

He was Zhao Zhongzhu, the senior brother of the Tianshan Sect and also the number one person in the Tianshan Sect.

Originally, he was the candidate for Saint Son, but because he admired Guo Zhuying, he yielded the position to her.

During this period, he had been unable to find any trace of Guo Zhuying, and later, upon hearing that she had been hanging around a young man, he felt very displeased.

He knew Guo Zhuying would definitely appear here, so he came early to wait and search.

It was a pity he had only just found her.

Zhao Zhongzhu knew that Lu Tianyu was the young man Guo Zhuying was following, and also the person who had clashed with Tian Vice Dean the moment he arrived.

With so many people present, he could not conflict with anyone; he would wait until they entered the Yaoshou Senlin to deal with it.

Everyone was targeting this greenhorn, and he did not mind kicking someone while they were down.

Guo Zhuying said expressionlessly, "You don't need to worry about me."

"By the way, Senior Brother Zhao, call the others from our Tianshan Sect over to follow Young Master Lu."

She looked at Lu Tianyu: "Young Master Lu, if our Ten Thousand Swords Sect encounters danger, I ask for your assistance!"

He knew Lu Tianyu would not join the camp of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

And as the Saintess of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, she had an obligation to be responsible for everyone's safety.

Lu Tianyu sighed softly and nodded: "Fine!"

Guo Boxiong had given him quite a few materials without asking for payment, so how could he not agree?

It was just that his plan was going to fall through.

He did not want to lead many people; leading six people was already enough, and now he did not know how many more would be added.

As soon as his voice fell, a burst of sneers suddenly rang out from the surroundings.

"Protecting others? How laughable. Following a greenhorn will only lead to a faster death!" the man in the short shirt from the Rakshasa Sect said with extreme disdain.

Gong Mochen of the Seven Stars Sect turned around and sneered: "He is now an adversary of our Seven Stars Sect; I'd like to see who dares to join his team?"

"Joining him is going against my Seven Stars Sect and the Huanhe Heavenly Sect!"

He looked at Guo Zhuying: "Great Beauty Guo, I have long admired your name; why not join my Seven Stars Sect?"

Having lost face to Lu Tianyu, he wanted to regain it by winning over Guo Zhuying.

The Seven Stars Sect was, after all, the head of the ten great sects of the Changheng Star Domain; for the sake of safety and survival, almost no one would be unmoved.

Unfortunately, Guo Zhuying did not even look at Gong Mochen.

Gong Mochen gave a cold snort: "Keep pretending; there will come a time when you'll be kneeling and begging us!"

The onlookers around them cast disdainful gazes at Lu Tianyu one after another and distanced themselves from him.

It was as if Lu Tianyu were a plague god.

Zhao Zhongzhu laughed disdainfully: "He is protecting us? Zhuying, you've seen it all."

"He has offended everyone; he can't even protect himself, let alone protect you!"

"Zhuying, this is not the time to be willful; following him is just courting death."

"As long as our Tianshan Sect works together to execute our Combined Attack Array, we will not fear anyone."

He was full of confidence: "With your addition, we will surely be able to gain something."

Guo Zhuying shook her head helplessly: "My grandfather should have instructed you all, right? To let you follow me; you should listen to my grandfather's words."

"Young Master Lu has superb strength; following him is the safest!"

"You!" Zhao Zhongzhu was so angry he was choked up, "Ancestor Guo did tell us, but that only represents his own opinion."

"My grandfather asked me to be the leader this time, but I will yield it to Junior Sister!"

He made a concession once again.

He had not expected that after not seeing her for a few months, the woman in his heart would actually trust an outsider; it was too much!

If he had known this, he should have followed Guo Zhuying when she left the sect.

Guo Zhuying still shook her head: "Senior Brother Zhao, I will say it one last time: following him is the safest!"

She did not want to waste more breath; she knew this senior brother was very stubborn and difficult to persuade.

Zhao Zhongzhu was so angry he almost jumped up, but he held it back: "Junior Sister, have you made your decision?"

"I am your senior brother, the one who cares for and cherishes you the most?"

"You cannot trust an outsider!"

But then he saw Guo Zhuying's icy gaze, and subsequently, he stared coldly at Lu Tianyu: "Brat, hurry up and leave my junior sister; you and she are not on the same path!"

Lu Tianyu shook his head: "Whether I leave or not is not for you to decide."

"Don't you find it annoying to be so shameless? If I were you, I would get as far away as possible; don't keep groveling again and again—there will be no result!"

"You!" Zhao Zhongzhu was furious, pointing at Lu Tianyu's nose, "Fine, fine, fine!"

"Just wait until you are swarmed by the crowd; even if you kneel and beg me, I won't agree!"

Afterward, he looked at Guo Zhuying: "Junior Sister, whether you agree or not, if you encounter danger, I will protect you!"

"I will follow you forever and never let you suffer the slightest bit of harm!"

Then he walked to the side and turned his head to calm the anger in his heart.

He felt that he would follow behind Lu Tianyu and the others, and wait for Lu Tianyu and his group to be besieged by others or attacked by Yaoshou before stepping in to save Guo Zhuying.

Guo Zhuying was the person he would cherish for his whole life; he absolutely could not give up.

Lu Tianyu also shook his head with a bitter smile.

This person was truly infatuated; even after he had said all that, this person still did not get angry—his endurance was not ordinary.

At the very least, it was much stronger than his own.

Guo Zhuying said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Young Master Lu, I've caused you trouble!"

"My senior brother isn't a bad person, he's just too stubborn!"

Lu Tianyu did not speak.

Just at this moment, a voice full of surprise rang out: "Senior Brother Wan, you're here? You made me search for you for quite a while!"

A woman parted the crowd and walked over, followed by a dozen or so men and women behind her.

She was slightly taken aback after seeing Zhao Qian.

However, she still stepped forward and hugged Wan Ziling's arm: "Senior brother, for this selection, my grandfather told me to follow you; you must protect me well, okay?"

Wan Ziling had an awkward look on his face: "Did your grandfather tell you to follow Young Master Lu closely, rather than following me?"

He looked at Lu Tianyu apologetically: "Young Master Lu, this is my junior sister Shangguan Yu'er, and she is also from the Heavenly Mystery Sect."

"My father told me to follow you, you, look at them..."

Lu Tianyu gave a wry smile: "Fine."

How could he not know what Wan Ziling meant.

Liu Jinzi of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was currently running a shop in the Bahuang Xingyu and had also provided free repairs to the arrays, which had cost him quite a bit.

Shangguan Yu'er immediately let go of his arm and looked at Lu Tianyu: "So this is the disciple of the Ghost Spirit Evil Doctor, Lu Tianyu; my grandfather told me to follow you, saying you are the most reliable person."

"There are over a dozen of us brothers and sisters here; if we get injured, you must step in to treat us. Of course, we won't let you treat us for free; we will give you the corresponding Spirit Stones."

She knew that Lu Tianyu's combat power was extraordinary and that he had also killed Tian Daguang and Tian Shiguang.

However, she did not believe that Lu Tianyu was the strongest among those participating in the selection.

She felt that the Ancestor's purpose in doing this was to find them a personal doctor.
