What a small world!
Master Lin was a little embarrassed. He really didn't expect to meet Mingluo here. This girl had tricked him out of a gift and made him lose face on the spot.
He asked Zou Jinnian uncertainly, "Mr. Zou, are you sure you want to see this girl?"
"It's her? What?" Zou Jinnian sensed something was wrong.
He frowned slightly and looked at Mingluo and Master Lin with suspicion.
Do these two know each other?
How could they know each other?
One is one of the three great masters of Taoism, and the other is an ordinary female college student. There should be no intersection between them at all.
Master Lin sighed deeply, realizing he probably wouldn't be able to make any money today.
He said, "Mr. Zou, I might take a look at anyone else, but if it's her, then let's just forget about it."
"Why? What makes her different?"
Zou Jinnian glanced at Ming Luo with resentment. The woman's languid appearance made her even more charming and touched his heartstrings.
If she didn't lose, how could she obediently stay by his side?
He doesn't plan to date, but he doesn't mind having a pretty face next to him.
Master Lin said with difficulty, "This girl is a member of the Xuanmen sect herself, and her methods are more advanced than mine. If she herself has something strange about her, how could she not know it?"
"She's from the Xuanmen sect?" Zou Jinnian's eyes widened slightly; this was another piece of information he hadn't seen in the documents.
“That’s impossible!” he said decisively.
If this woman could exorcise evil spirits, she should be extremely brave, but when she first arrived, she was crying and her eyes were full of tears.
If a crybaby like this can be a member of the Xuanmen sect, then the threshold for the Xuanmen sect is far too low.
Master Lin sighed deeply. He could understand Zou Jinnian's feelings; he also thought it was impossible, but that was precisely the truth...
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
He said, "It's true. Master Gu and Master Zhao both know her. We just met at the Fan family this morning. She was the one who exorcised the evil spirits from the Fan family. I have no reason to lie to you. I can't help you with this matter."
Zou Jinnian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this how you got your ten million?"
"Hmm! You... are very unwilling?" Mingluo became a little interested when she saw Zou Jinnian's frustrated look.
Seeing this scumbag made her feel annoyed, but she was also inexplicably happy.
Zou Jinnian realized it, which is why he was very angry.
He said to Master Lin, "Even if she is a member of the Xuanmen sect, she is not a grandmaster of the Xuanmen sect. I don't believe she can be more powerful than Master Lin. Besides, a doctor cannot heal himself. Master Lin, please take a look at her. No matter what the result is, it will not be a waste of your efforts."
Master Lin's eyes lit up.
That's a possibility.
He never leaves empty-handed. This time, the person who invited him was Zou Jinnian. He originally wanted to do Zou Jinnian a favor and not charge him, but Zou Jinnian offered to pay him, so he didn't stand on ceremony.
He rallied his spirits and looked at Mingluo with a smile, "Girl, I'm sorry."
"Wait a minute!" Mingluo said casually, "Master Lin, aren't there rules in the underworld?"
"Rules?" Master Lin was taken aback, then his eyes narrowed.
The Xuanmen (Taoist sect) does indeed have rules: for one member of the Xuanmen to examine another member of the Xuanmen is a challenge.
After all, we all make a living this way, and we all have secrets. Being looked at at will is an insult and a taboo.
Therefore, there are two kinds of rules: one is the civil rule, and the other is the military rule.
The rule is to check each other's work, and how much they can figure out is a matter of individual skill. This is a civilized approach and avoids offending anyone.
Wu Ju, on the other hand, engages in magical duels. After a fight, he or she will have a pretty good idea of each other's methods.
When Master Lin heard Mingluo say that she was self-taught, he didn't believe it before, and now he was even less convinced. If she was self-taught, how could she understand these esoteric rules? These are things that only an elder can teach a newcomer.
Master Lin sneered, "Fine, do you want to pursue a scholarly path or a martial one?"
"..." Mingluo seemed to be thinking. She was just bluffing, but it actually happened.
She challenged countless gods in the divine realm, and her methods were generally of two types: either magical combat or duels.
Two French Bulldogs can survive, but only one can survive in a duel.
She said calmly, "You're going for the literary route, aren't you? You're getting on in years..."
"..." Master Lin was furious. Who's old? Isn't it true that the older you get, the more sought-after you are in this line of work? He's still the breadwinner of his family.
He said resolutely, "Girl, this old man will fight you."
"This isn't appropriate!" Minglu said lazily, but her eyes lingered on Master Lin's old arms and legs. They would break if you squeezed them; it was too troublesome.
Master Lin was so angry that his beard curled up. This little brat! He had countless magical artifacts on him, and any one of them could subdue her. If he didn't show her some power today, she would really think she was the number one person in the Xuanmen sect.
"Let's fight! All of you, get back somewhere."
After Master Lin finished speaking, he took out a ring from his pocket.
The circle was very small, and it looked like a gold bracelet that an ordinary child would wear.
Master Kelin chanted a few incantations, then tossed the bracelet aside. The bracelet emitted a burst of golden light and landed on the ground, forming a large golden halo.
He deftly stepped inside, his expression arrogant, but he spoke politely, "Girl, let's fight inside to avoid hurting innocent people."
Master Lin's move stunned everyone.
A look of surprise appeared in everyone's eyes; the true masters of Taoism were indeed different from charlatans.
Zou Jinnian paused, looking at Mingluo with a hint of worry. He didn't quite understand their jargon, but it seemed that Mingluo wanted to have a magical duel with this Master Lin.
He hadn't expected things to develop this way. In his eyes, Mingluo was just a slightly pretentious playboy, and he hadn't intended for her to suffer a major setback.
He said coldly, "Mingluo, don't be ridiculous. Just let Master Lin examine you properly."
"Heh..." Minglu scoffed lightly. It's really interesting to talk about these polite words now that things have escalated to this point!
Furthermore, isn't her dignity worthless?
She slowly stood up and coldly said to Zou Jinnian, "He beat me, so he's naturally qualified to examine me. If he can't beat me, he won't find anything out. Get your ten million ready, and don't disappoint me."
She glanced at Zou Jinnian's arm casually.
The implication was clear: if Zou Jinnian dared to go back on his word, she would break both of his arms.
Zou Jinnian felt a chill in his heart, and an extremely dangerous emotion resonated within him. He felt that he had done something wrong today.
It seems he has completely offended Mingluo.
However, it was a woman.
Is he afraid of offending her?
A cold smile played on his lips as he sat back down, waiting to see Mingluo suffer a crushing defeat.
He always felt that Mingluo needed a lesson to learn her lesson.
As Mingluo approached the circle, a backlash from the golden ring momentarily blocked her entry.
Mingluo's eyes narrowed slightly. Was this a show of force?
