Chapter 233: Murong Xue's Attitude
The demonic beasts in the Yaoshou Senlin have mutated, so getting injured in conflicts with them is inevitable.
Lu Tianyu is, after all, a disciple of the Gui Shen Xie Yi; he must have many good medicinal pills and diagnostic methods, which will be of great use when the time comes.
Although the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect are ranked last, their own strength is relatively weak.
However, the Heavenly Secret Sect's external tools are formidable, their array-breaking is formidable, their mechanism arts are formidable, and their puppets are also formidable.
This is something other sects cannot compare to.
This is the reason why, in the repeated trials of the Yaoshou Senlin, the Heavenly Secret Sect is the sect with the fewest casualties.
They know how to seek advantages and avoid harm; if they can use puppets to explore, they do not use people.
When they encounter an array, they can identify and break it, so they won't be trapped and unable to get out!
As soon as these words were spoken, Wan Ziling's expression immediately became very ugly; he cupped his fists and bowed to Lu Tianyu: "Young Master Lu, I am sorry. My junior sister is just like this, careless and blunt. Please, Young Master, do not take offense!"
He was afraid that Lu Tianyu would be annoyed by this.
Lu Tianyu, however, smiled slightly: "It is no matter. I like straightforward and frank people; I do not like schemes and calculations!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Shangguan Yu'er let out a delicate huff: "You must not like me; I like my senior brother. We have been childhood sweethearts since we were young, a match made in heaven!"
This one sentence turned Wan Ziling's face bright red.
Lu Tianyu was also stunned.
This woman is truly careless and speaks without thinking.
What gave him a headache was that the team had suddenly expanded to over twenty people; that was too much!
Gong Mochen of the Seven Stars Sect was also stunned.
How did the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect also follow this kid, and willingly at that?
He had originally wanted to win over the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect to let them break arrays for him, but now it seemed hopeless.
How could this kid have such great charisma that he even managed to win over the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect?
However, he was still unwilling to give up and wanted to try again; the people from the Heavenly Secret Sect were very important for entering the Yaoshou Senlin.
Gong Mochen immediately took a step forward: "Shangguan Yu'er, we have met a few times, and we even exchanged items at an auction once. Do you remember?"
Shangguan Yu'er looked Gong Mochen over carefully and then nodded: "I remember you; you are one of the Seven Sons of the Seven Stars Array of the Seven Stars Sect, Gong Mochen."
"Exchanging items was us each taking what we needed; that is a thing of the past. Do you have business with me?"
Her personality was naturally straightforward, and she easily offended people when she spoke, without considering the consequences; she was the same toward everyone.
Gong Mochen looked embarrassed: "How about this: you join the team of my Seven Stars Sect and the Joyous Union Sect, and I will personally guarantee it for you here."
"If we encounter a cave dwelling or a treasure land, as long as you are the ones to break the array, the treasures inside will be split with you, the Heavenly Secret Sect, half and half. How about that?"
"And you get first pick of the treasures?"
Shangguan Yu'er blinked her large eyes: "That sounds quite good, but why should we split what we get from breaking the array with you?"
"Since we broke the array, shouldn't the things inside all be ours?"
She had an adorable look on her face.
Gong Mochen immediately had black lines on his face: "Our Seven Stars Sect has formidable strength and can protect you from harm."
"You also know that this time in the Yaoshou Senlin..."
Before the four words "extremely dangerous" could be spoken, he was interrupted by Shangguan Yu'er: "You mean you are collecting protection fees? Do you think that is possible?"
She then looked at Lu Tianyu: "The treasures we obtain from breaking arrays naturally belong to us, right?"
Lu Tianyu nodded: "Naturally, that is so."
Shangguan Yu'er smiled: "Hee hee!"
"Gong Mochen, you heard it all. You want to use the name of the Seven Stars Sect to make us pay protection fees; that is an impossible thing. I hope you will not set your sights on us again."
"My grandfather told me to follow Lu Tianyu, so we will follow Lu Tianyu. He will not collect protection fees from us, and he can even protect us!"
"You!" Gong Mochen's face turned red and then blue, "Hmph!"
"We shall see!"
Him recruiting so many people to come in was indeed no different from collecting protection fees.
For those who joined their team, their Seven Stars Sect was only responsible for taking action, and whatever treasures were discovered, they would take a share, and the lion's share at that.
They relied on their formidable strength to take more, completely disregarding the thoughts of others.
But everyone knew this situation clearly, yet no one would say it out loud.
This Shangguan Yu'er did not know what was good for her and even followed his rival; he would definitely deal with her harshly later and make her kneel and lick his boots.
Lu Tianyu checked the time; there was still half a day left before departure, and he had wanted to find a place to practice his cultivation arts.
But just at this moment, someone else came looking for him.
Clang, clang, clang!
Following the sound of sword chimes, twenty or so sword lights flew toward this side.
Someone exclaimed: "It is the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; hurry and make way!"
The crowd made way one after another.
Everyone knew that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was the sixth-ranked great sect, but they were all lunatics; if they disagreed, they would draw their swords against each other, regardless of life or death.
Everyone was afraid of getting into a conflict with such people who were not afraid of death.
A white, graceful figure in the lead flew to Lu Tianyu first; Murong Xue sheathed her sword and bowed: "Greetings, Young Master Lu!"
"For this Yaoshou Senlin selection, we will also follow Young Master Lu; please, Young Master, do not mind us!"
Her face was slightly red: "Young Master Lu is magnanimous; last time, I was indebted to Young Master Lu for saving my life, and I have no way to repay you."
"For this trip to the Yaoshou Senlin, I am willing to be at Young Master Lu's beck and call!"
Having recently heard of the deeds Lu Tianyu had done, she was completely convinced and no longer had her previous arrogance.
Furthermore, Lu Tianyu was her savior; she had been possessed by demonic energy, and even the Gui Sheng Xie Yi could not remove it, yet Lu Tianyu had actually removed it.
Thinking of her previous disdain for Lu Tianyu, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The thirteen people behind Murong Xue stared sharply at Lu Tianyu, their Sword Intent surging as they all targeted him.
Clearly, they were somewhat dissatisfied with Murong Xue following Lu Tianyu.
Lu Tianyu did not take any of this to heart at all.
After a moment of silence, he nodded: "Fine!"
"But you must listen to me."
Having so many people suddenly added made Lu Tianyu feel a bit unaccustomed.
However, he had no way to refuse.
With the help of Gui Sheng Xie Yi, Jian Wuya was preparing to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage and had decided to protect the Bahuang Xingyu.
Since Jian Wuya's disciples had come to join him, he naturally could not refuse.
Murong Xue was overjoyed: "We will all listen to your arrangements!"
But no sooner had she finished speaking than a handsome man behind her stepped out, staring at Lu Tianyu with unkind eyes: "Senior Sister, our Ten Thousand Swords Sect has always acted independently during selections; why must we take orders from him?"
As soon as Murong Xue heard this, she knew something bad was about to happen: "Xing Jiangyi, shut your mouth!"
"Young Master Lu is a disciple of Gui Sheng Xie Yi; his medical skills are superb, and his martial prowess is even more formidable."
"Do you have the ability to kill Tian Daguang and Tian Shiguang yourself? One must be humble; only by knowing when to advance and when to retreat can one make progress!"
Xing Jiangyi wanted to say more, but thinking of the Ancestor's instructions, he snorted and said nothing further.
Murong Xue turned to Lu Tianyu and cupped her hands: "Young Master Lu, I am sorry; the people of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect are all unruly, please do not take it to heart."
As she spoke, she took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Tianyu with both hands: "These are herbs collected by the Ancestor of my Ten Thousand Swords Sect; I hope they are of help to you, Young Master Lu."
After Lu Tianyu's Divine Sense penetrated the Storage Ring and took a look, his mind was instantly shaken.
