Chapter 36: Zhuge Qing's Great Victory!
Chapter 36: Zhuge Qing’s Great Victory!
The martial arena for the Rotian Grand Ceremony was located on the back mountain, where the undeveloped area had no roads and only three ropes for crossing.
A young Daoist stood at the bridge entrance. Luk took a glance and recognized an old acquaintance.
This senior disciple, Zhang Liang, used to frequently drag him along to see embarrassing images. The senior disciple mentioned that he was too scared to watch alone and needed a reliable kid like Luk to feel safe.
Zhang Liang, with a calm expression, addressed the group heading to the back mountain.
"Everyone is going to the back mountain. There’s only one path after the small road, so please cross using the ropes."
The rope bridge was the first filter. Even if the ropes were several meters long, it was still necessary to try and effectively eliminate those with low strength and high self-confidence.
The participants used various methods. Some leaped across, others flew over with their mounts, and a few used ingenious control techniques to cross the ropes.
Luk stood at the front and saw Zhang Chulan and his group. Biao Lian held the rope and moved slowly, while Feng Bao was hit by a Beastmaster’s mount in mid-air and then stepped on a flying blade wielded by Jia Zhengliang, who was lifted and sent away by the other party’s harsh words.
Luk channeled his chakra to his feet and was about to cross when he was suddenly pulled back by Zhang Liang at the bridge entrance.
"Ah, Xiao Lu!"
Luk stopped, "Senior Zhang Liang, is there something wrong?"
Zhang Liang gave him a look that could cut steel, "What’s wrong, why are you participating in the Rotian Grand Ceremony? There are many participants this time, not just from our sect. Your skills are also not enough to risk your life."
"I’m just here to play around, Senior, don’t worry."
"Is the Rotian Grand Ceremony a place where you can just play around?"
Zhang Liang looked at him with a face like he had eaten a fly, and magically produced a Dao robe, "Isn’t this to see what kind of relationship we share? This is rare and necessary."
"Put it on."
"What does it mean?" Luk took the Dao robe and weighed it.
"Once you put it on, everyone will know you’re from the Heavenly Master’s Sect. This is our home ground, and others won’t dare to lay a hand on you." Zhang Liang whispered, "I’ve already greeted the other seniors, and they stopped when they saw you were heavily injured."
"Relax, in the Dragon Tiger Mountain realm, we are the strongest. No need to overexert yourself."
Luk patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder, "You see, this path is too wide for you."
"Stop talking. If you become a Heavenly Master in the future, you will be the next one."
"Pull you, Xiao Shifu, you can’t even hold three moves, let alone becoming a Heavenly Master." Zhang Liang rolled his eyes.
"In short, just remember what I said. If you can’t win, just admit it. If someone deliberately bullies you, wait until the competition ends, and we’ll back you up."
Feeling warm inside, Luk handed over a jade disk, "There’s no need for more words. My intention is all in this jade. Here’s 1t of resources, all for you, Senior."
"1t this much?" Zhang Liang’s face showed struggle, "If you take it, won’t you be malnourished?"
"1t of seeds."
"Shh～"
Zhang Liang quickly stuffed the jade disk into his pocket, "Whoever goes to hell, goes to hell. Xiao Shifu, you can go to the competition with peace of mind. This jade is for you to keep safe."
"That’s the word of the Buddha sect..."
Zhang Liang shook his head and smiled. Luk, who was also a good listener, draped the loose Dao robe over his shoulders and smoothly crossed the ropes.
At this moment, there were many people on the back mountain. Luk immediately recognized the squinty-eyed little blue fur Zhuge Qing and his younger brother Zhuge Bai.
Zhang Lingyu was dizzy, and no one welcomed these two guests from the Zhuge family. Luk went over to greet them.
"Heavenly Master Lu Ke, have you met the two?"
Zhuge Qing looked at the Dao robe on him and saw the newcomer’s refined appearance. With a polite smile, "Lu Daozhang is very polite. This is my younger brother Zhuge Bai."
"Brother Zhuge’s younger brother is quite cute."
Luk grinned and crouched down, causing Zhuge Bai to immediately shrink behind his brother, Zhuge Qing.
"He's just a bit timid."
At this, Zhuge Bai poked his head out, "Nonsense, I'm a big, bold guy!"
"Sorry to have amused Daoist Lu," Zhuge Qing patted his brother's head with a loving yet exasperated smile.
"Daoist Lu, I was wondering where Master Lingyu is. I have great admiration for him and hoped to meet him."
"Little Uncle is a bit hot-headed; he got his qi out of balance and injured his meridians. He's not in a good state to see visitors," Luk said without hiding the truth.
"Is that so? Master Lingyu, known for his calm, actually lost his composure?" Zhuge Qing, usually uninterested in gossip, was now quite intrigued.
"Well, it's not a big deal. Someone just slept with his girlfriend for two days and two nights, and now she's gone," Luk shrugged.
Zhuge Qing's eyes widened in shock.
The famous Master Lingyu has a girlfriend?
And he's been cuckolded?
His girlfriend was taken by another man?
This is some explosive news, a juicy piece of gossip.
Zhuge Qing's curiosity was piqued. He coughed twice and asked quietly, "Do you know who the brave soul is, Daoist Lu?"
Luk pointed at himself, "Me."
Zhuge Qing: ...6
Do all the people in the Celestial Master's Mansion play games like this?
Doesn't the Great Celestial Master do anything about it?
"It's a joke, really. I was just teasing Little Uncle, and he got all worked up." Luk waved his hand. "After all, Xia He and he are truly in love. I, a pure love enthusiast, wouldn't sabotage their relationship. Little Uncle really should trust me more."
Who knew that the great Master Lingyu didn't even know what Photoshop was.
If he did, he'd think it was reasonable to see the Great Celestial Master and Elder Lu Jin lying together!
Zhuge Qing was stunned by this series of revelations.
Zhang Lingyu's lover is from the Quanxing Sect.
And not just any member, but one of the Four Fierce Ones of Quanxing, the Bone-Scraping Blade Xia He?
Who would have thought Master Lingyu was so smooth.
The gossips he's heard today are one juicier than the last.
Zhuge Qing nodded with satisfaction. This trip to the Great Luojian Ceremony was worth it. He was already stuffed with gossip from the start.
"I hope Master Lingyu is well. Can he still participate in the Great Luojian Ceremony? I've been looking forward to sparring with him."
Luk shrugged, "Don't worry. Little Uncle is so serious and stubborn that he'll fight even if he's injured. The early rounds are mainly for elimination, and the opponents won't be strong. By the later rounds, his injuries should be mostly healed, so it won't be a big issue."
"Then I'm relieved," Zhuge Qing smiled, his tone shifting. "I also hope to have the chance to spar with you, Daoist Lu."
Making Zhang Lingyu so angry that he suffered internal injuries, and knowing so much juicy gossip, it would be a shame not to spar with such an interesting person.
"Zhuge, you're too kind. I'm just an ordinary disciple in the Celestial Master's Mansion, but I do want to see the secret techniques passed down by the Wu Hou family."
The two smiling foxes exchanged pleasantries and glanced at each other.
Their chemistry was palpable.
Luk quite liked how Zhuge Qing was acting.
Unfortunately, Zhuge Qing would soon be beaten by Old Wang,, which would change his mindset, and he would preoccupied with Eight Wonders Techniques.
Luckily, he has a growth storyline and eventually overcomes his inner demons, obtaining the Three Purest Fires.
Luk sighed, wondering if he should help him deal with Old Wang earlier. But he also thought Old Wang was a decent guy.
Ah well, let it be. His involvement would certainly shake up the original battle lineup.
We'll see who gets to face him early on!
Today, I saw a funny joke on Qidian.
Hmm... a bit naughty, so I won't share it with everyone.
I'm about to start promoting the book. The editor says it's going well, so I'm looking forward to it.
PS: Mr. Wu, what are you writing lately? Hahaha, I can't stop smiling. Update soon!
