Chapter 34: The Abandoned Young Master Long Aotian

"Hahaha, look what I found!"

Wu Lingnan sped along at lightning speed, laughing as she met up with Xiang Gucheng and the others. The token hanging on her waist flashed, and the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus appeared in Wu Lingnan's hand. That's right, the trial token issued by the wealthy Hua Qing actually had the function of storage, which made the poor Wu Lingnan very jealous.

Although the storage space is only nine cubic meters, Wu Lingnan is very content. After all, she doesn't have it yet, and the capacity of this token is enough as a temporary storage device.

"Not bad, Junior Sister, you are so lucky!" Xiang Gucheng gave a thumbs up and praised her generously.

Wu Lingnan smiled proudly. That's right, she was lucky to have snatched the item. The one who was robbed could only blame himself for his bad luck. After all, in the trial competition, the strong will naturally be the king.

She input her spiritual power, and saw the token emit a blue light, scanning the Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus from top to bottom. Soon, after a ding sound, Wu Lingnan saw her own points ranking climbing up, and her own team jumped to the first place. Looking at the "550,000" points after her name, Wu Lingnan's mouth was about to split with laughter.

Not bad, it’s me as expected.

"We've already explored this area thoroughly. Aside from a few plants with a bit of spiritual energy, but less than first-grade, we can't find anything else," Zhuge Yu shrugged, gently waving his paper fan. "But with this Nine-Transformation Heavenly Lotus, it's not a loss at all. So, let's leave this place and search elsewhere."

Wu Lingnan and Xiang Gucheng had no objection to this. They were about to fly away when they saw Zhuge Yu smile mysteriously and said earnestly, "Gentlemen, don't you think that our search is too slow?"

Wu Lingnan raised her eyebrows: "I wonder what Zhuge Second Young Master has to say." She wanted to see what Zhuge Yu was up to.

Zhuge Yu's smile remained unchanged despite being slightly provoked by Wu Lingnan's words. Only the knuckles on his fan handle became more prominent. "Haha, it's not really an opinion, but my Zhuge family has a divination that can predict the location of spiritual objects and treasures within a radius of dozens of miles. I wonder if you two would be willing to trust me."

Wu Lingnan and Xiang Gucheng looked at each other. As long as they acted together, they would not be afraid even if Zhuge Yu really made some small moves. So they directly agreed to Zhuge Yu's proposal.

Only ten miles away.

"Wu, Ling, Nan, right." I will remember you.

Pei Yichen stared at the big number one on the token. If the token had not been well-made and the factory had not cut corners, it would have been crushed by his huge strength.

Good, very good! This is the second woman's name that Pei Yichen remembered deeply. The first one was naturally the woman who came to break off the engagement. Pei Yichen swore that he would let Wu Lingnan taste his power.

He put away the token and didn't waste any more time. His points for obtaining the Nine-Turn Heavenly Lotus were still zero. Unfortunately, all his efforts were in vain. Although he encountered such a sudden setback, Pei Yichen just exhaled, his eyes still firm and powerful.

He has endured so many hardships, and now it is just a small defeat. He must show his strength in this freshman trial competition in order to enter Huachen College. Only in this way will he be qualified to defeat that woman in the three-year agreement.

"Zhu-ge-yu!" I shouldn't have trusted your half-baked level!

Covered in dust and dirt, Wu Lingnan pushed aside the bushes and crawled out. He brushed off the dead branches and leaves stuck to his clothes and washed his face thoroughly with the water purification technique. Zhuge Yu, who was standing beside him, could no longer maintain his elegant and unrestrained appearance. He smiled awkwardly, looked up at the sky and the ground, but did not dare to look Wu Lingnan in the eye.

You're the second young master of the Zhuge family. Haha, your divination skills are so bad. Tell me how the Zhuge family dared to let you out. Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of the Zhuge family?

Wu Lingnan deeply suspected the Zhuge family's sinister intentions. If it were her mother, she would have failed if she hadn't trained Zhuge Yu to death. Along the way, following Zhuge Yu's divinations, Wu Lingnan experienced a series of terrifying events, including spiritual treasures transforming into ferocious beasts, spiritual herbs being traps, and spiritual plants suddenly transforming into living people. Finally, she understood Zhuge Yu's true nature: he was using her and Xiang Gucheng as free bodyguards to hone his skills!

If it weren't for the fact that they discovered several high-grade spiritual objects in the middle, Wu Lingnan would have been unable to hold back and lost his temper at Zhuge Yu. After comprehensive calculation, the accuracy rate of Zhuge Yu's divination was about 30%, which just touched Wu Lingnan's bottom line. From this point of view, in a sense, Zhuge Yu's divination was also quite accurate.

"Shh-"

Xiang Gucheng, who was investigating the situation ahead, put his index finger to his lips, signaling his junior sister to settle the score with Zhuge Yu later, as a big situation had occurred ahead.

The little ghost, making faces, returned to Xiang Gucheng's slightly thin shoulders with a laugh, gesturing exaggeratedly with his hands, his mouth wide open almost reaching his ears.

Hey, this reaction, there are people in front, and there are many of them.

Wu Lingnan, who had grown up with Xiang Gucheng for so many years and had been influenced by him and understood the little boy's body language, was a little surprised, and then he became restless. What did having so many people mean? They were all walking points, and all the points should go into my bowl, Wu Lingnan.

She thought for a moment, tapped the jade bracelet, released a small white butterfly, and ordered it to fly high to investigate the situation. Wu Lingnan used her mental skills to connect herself with the white butterfly's compound eyes and watched quietly.

Oh, what a coincidence, enemies often meet again, and it’s the unlucky young man whose Nine Revolutions Heavenly Lotus was snatched away by her. But this time, he seems to be in big trouble.

"That's him, Fairy White. He's the one who stole our token!"

A young man in blue pointed at Pei Yichen and said to the quirky girl surrounded in the middle, his face full of indignation: "This guy is so shameless. We are both freshmen, but he actually stole the token of his companions. Fairy Bai, you have to help us."

Pei Yichen lazily looked up at the blue-clothed man who had attacked him with righteous words. Seeing that he was a stranger, he looked away without interest. He had seen many such weak villains before. However, he thought his whereabouts were quite secretive. How on earth had he been found by this girl?

The girl looked at Pei Yichen curiously, covered her lips and smiled, "Sir, as freshmen we should all help each other and compete fairly. Why attack each other? I wonder if you could give me a favor and return all the points of everyone present."

After hearing this, Pei Yichen replied coldly: "You have such a big reputation, why don't you ask the school who made the rules to change them? As for returning the points," he sneered, "Absolutely impossible."

Bai Die nodded: That's right, once I get it, it's mine. Who will give it back to you? It's like playing house.

The girl in white didn't seem angry. Instead, her eyes showed more interest. She continued to smile and said, "Sir, that's not right." She winked playfully, "Perhaps you'll change your mind soon."

What Pei Yichen frowned.

The girl slowly smiled a beautiful smile, and an invisible charm spread in the air. Everyone around her was staring at the girl's angelic face in ecstasy, with a dull expression, as if in a dream and floating in the air.

Bai Die: It’s actually a charm! This unlucky boy, he won’t fall for it like this, right? At such a close distance, the skill’s power will be doubled.

Facing the enchanting face of the girl, Pei Yichen's mind was in a trance. He bit the tip of his tongue without hesitation. The piercing pain instantly brought back his sanity. Taking advantage of this moment, he showed no mercy and punched out with spiritual power, heading straight for the girl's face.

The girl in white was really surprised this time. She quickly moved away to avoid the punch that broke her face, leaving everyone else to be knocked unconscious by the aftermath of the punch.

This was the first person of her age who was not affected by her charm. The white-clothed girl's skirt fluttered in the wind. Her beautiful eyes were deeply imprinted with Pei Yichen's figure. She introduced herself seriously:

"I underestimated you. I didn't expect that a mere early stage foundation building cultivator would have such a temperament. I'm Bai Wanyan. I wonder what your name is..."

"You will know when I get your token." Pei Yichen raised his eyebrows and smiled, took out his long sword, and attacked Bai Wanyan fiercely.

Bai Wanyan dodged Pei Yichen's attacks with a deft and light gesture. She sighed softly, "Why bother? You can't beat me."

"Haha, you won't know if you can beat him until you try, right?"

A long ribbon came out from Bai Wanyan's sleeve, dancing in the sky like a madman, and collided with Pei Yichen's sword, making a clanging sound of metal collision. This long ribbon that looked like silk was actually no weaker in strength than the weapon carefully forged by Pei Yichen.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. It's time for me, the sixth guy, to take the stage again.

Wu Lingnan's eyes lit up, and he licked his lips. He looked at Xiang Gucheng and Zhuge Yu, who were also quietly lying in ambush nearby. They both saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

After catching two big fish, I asked, who can resist?

When it comes to ambushes, the Five Immortals' poison is number one. Right now, I have the right time, right place, and right people. In other words, with the Azure Dragon on my back, how can I lose?

Under the cover of Pei Yichen and Bai Wanyan's attack sounds, Wu Lingnan quietly released the poisonous insects. She gave the antidote to her companions and ordered the poisonous insects to scatter and set up a dragnet around them. The poisonous phosphorus powder covered the sky and the earth invisibly.

After completing the preparations, Wu Lingnan took out the flute and was about to play it.

Wait a minute, Junior Sister!

Xiang Gucheng restrained Wu Lingnan's movements and cast a soundproofing spell on himself first. Seeing this, Zhuge Yu followed suit and cast a soundproofing spell on himself. Only then did Xiang Gucheng give Wu Lingnan an approving look.

Damn it! Wu Lingnan exerted force on his hands, his eyes blazing with anger. "It's been a long time since I learned to play the flute, okay? It's impossible for me to make the ghostly howling sounds like when I was a child. Xiang Gucheng, just wait for me!"

After giving Xiang Gucheng a fierce look, Wu Lingnan took a deep breath. The next second, melodious flute music rang out in the forest.

not good!

Pei Yichen and Bai Wanyan both stopped moving, their eyes filled with uncertainty. They'd been ambushed!

They stopped at the same time and were about to follow the flute sound to find the person, but in an instant, a sky full of spirit butterflies flew up from the forest, and glittering phosphorus powder fell from the sky. In the sunlight, countless pairs of beautiful butterfly wings reflected colorful light.

"Oh no, it's..." the Miaojiang butterfly poison!

Before he could finish his words, Bai Wanyan, whose poison resistance was extremely low, felt her spiritual power stagnate and she suddenly fell from the air, barely able to protect herself.

Damn, it's this woman again!

Pei Yichen bit his lower lip tightly, staring at the familiar woman who slowly walked out of the woods with a flute in her hand.
