Chapter 281 Sun Ming has already stacked up all the protagonist buffs

On the lake.

After hearing what Chen Qian said, Yue Chongbin sighed slightly: "Elder Sun should not be careless. How can you face this arrow head-on?"

This sentence defines the nature of this competition.

It wasn't that Chu Ning intended to kill Sun Chaoyang, but that Sun Chaoyang misjudged Chu Ning's strength and was too self-righteous, which led to this outcome.

This is all Sun Chaoyang's own fault and has nothing to do with Chu Ning.

Chen Qian and the other elders were not at all surprised that the sect leader would make such a choice.

The living Elder Sun is valuable, but the dead Elder Sun is useless.

Luoshan Sect is not like Danshan Sect. The elders of Luoshan Sect were all trained step by step starting from disciples. Some of the elders of Luoshan Sect were trained by themselves, while others joined later.

Shu Wenruan joined later, as did Sun Chaoyang.

Chu Ning was not too surprised to hear what Sect Master Yue said. This was within his expectations.

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I have to heal Elder Sun, so I will not entertain you."

Yue Chongbin had a gloomy face. Although he had no intention of falling out with Chu Ning because of the Sun Chaoyang incident, it was impossible for him to receive Chu Ning with a smile, at least not as the sect leader.

"Master Yue, please do as you wish."

Chu Ning nodded, not caring. Seeing Yue Chongbin leave, the spiritual power in his body began to recover slowly. Finally, after his complexion returned to normal, he stepped out of the lake.

Several other elders also left with excuses, and finally only Chen Qian was left.

"Elder Chen, I have something to ask you."

"Fellow Daoist Chu, please speak."

The reason why Chen Qian stayed was because the sect could not be without someone accompanying Chu Ning, and secondly, he and Sun Chaoyang did not have a very deep friendship, and he was also an outsider elder.

"I accidentally hurt Elder Sun, and I feel a little guilty. I don't know who Elder Sun's descendants are, and I want to apologize to them."

There was a look of shame on Chu Ning's face, but Chen Qian's heart trembled after hearing it. This Chu Ning was really cruel. Was he trying to wipe out the whole family?

"Fellow Daoist Chu, Elder Sun has only one son, Sun Ming, who is engaged to the daughter of the leader of Xuanwu Sect."

"It seems that Sun Ming must be extremely outstanding. I wonder what realm he is at now. If possible, I can refine pills for him to help him break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Qian looked at Chu Ning with his old eyes, feeling the coldness in Chu Ning's words, he understood in his heart.

If Sun Ming wants to survive, he must not break through the Nascent Soul stage.

Sun Ming is now in the late Jindan stage. If nothing unexpected has happened now, there will be no problem for him to enter the Yuanying stage within a hundred years.

"I know what Fellow Daoist Chu is thinking. I will tell the Sect Master and then give Fellow Daoist Chu a reply."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Elder Chen."

Under Chen Qian's arrangement, Chu Ning moved into a courtyard in Luoshan Sect, which was not far from Shu Wenruan's yard. After Chen Qian arranged a place for Chu Ning to live, he left in a hurry.

…

"This Chu Ning is going too far."

In the Luoshan Sect's main hall, after hearing Chen Qian's words, an elder couldn't help but snorted: "Chu Ning doesn't take my Luoshan Sect seriously at all. Killing Elder Sun is not enough, and he wants to attack Sun Ming."

After the elder finished speaking, he found that no other elders in the hall agreed with him. His expression changed slightly, especially when he noticed Yue Chongbin's expressionless face, he instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He has a good relationship with Sun Chaoyang. If Sun Chaoyang succeeds as the sect leader, he can then become the grand elder.

Hearing that Chu Ning wanted to kill Sun Ming, he naturally expressed his anger.

But now he suddenly realized that the sect leader might not be as angry about Sun Chaoyang's death as he imagined.

"What do you think, elders?" Yue Chongbin asked calmly, but before the elders spoke, he expressed his attitude first: "Sun Ming is a disciple of my Luoshan Sect. This Sect Master will never sit idly by and watch him get into trouble."

Hearing Yue Chongbin's words, the elder who spoke earlier had some doubts in his eyes. Did he guess wrong? Chen Qian looked at the expressions of the people in the hall and sighed in his heart: "Elder Zhou is still a little bit lacking in grasping people's hearts. The sect leader only said to save Sun Ming's life, but did not say to let Sun Ming enter the Nascent Soul stage."

Chu Ning's meaning was very clear. He could spare Sun Ming's life, but Sun Ming must not be able to break through the Nascent Soul stage.

As long as Sun Ming cannot break through to the Nascent Soul stage, at his current age, he can only live for another hundred years at most.

All Chu Ning wanted was a promise from the sect, a promise that Sun Ming would not be allowed to enter the Nascent Soul stage.

For the sect leader, it is not difficult to do this. As long as Sun Ming is trapped in the sect and not given too many resources, it is impossible for Sun Ming to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

It is reasonable to arrange a strong person in the late Jindan stage to guard a sect site like the Library.

There is also the Spiritual Medicine Peak, where the sect’s spiritual medicines are planted. It’s okay to arrange for Sun Ming to guard it.

Sun Ming is now the sect's deacon, and these matters are within the deacon's scope of responsibility.

As for the injustice to Sun Ming, there is no such thing as fairness in the world of cultivation.

If we really want fairness, who has ever given fairness to those disciples in the sect who offended Sun Ming and were assigned by Sun Ming to do dangerous tasks and died as a result?

"The Sect Master is right. Nothing can happen to Sun Ming, otherwise my Luoshan Sect will become a joke."

After Yue Chongbin expressed his opinion, Elder Huang immediately said, "I suggest that this matter be reported to Xuanwu Sect. As for Sun Ming, it is best to take him to the back mountain for protection first, so that Sun Ming will not want to avenge Elder Sun after knowing the truth and make some unwise moves, giving Chu Ning an opportunity to take advantage of him."

When Zhou Quan heard what Elder Huang said, he opened his mouth and took him to the back mountain for protection?

Is this protection? The back mountain is where disciples who have made mistakes are confined. If you want to protect Sun Ming, you shouldn’t take him to the back mountain.

As for notifying Xuanwu Gate of the news, if the leader of Xuanwu Gate knew that Sun Chaoyang was killed by Chu Ning, he would probably choose to break the contract immediately.

Sun Ming is a man without a backer, but the leader of Xuanwu Sect would agree to this marriage because of Sun Ming's talent in cultivation.

But if it was Sun Ming who had no backing and had offended Chu Ning, the leader of Xuanwu Sect would definitely break off the marriage.

Elder Huang's words were not meant to protect Sun Ming at all, but to cut off Sun Ming's retreat.

Zhou Quan felt a chill in his heart, and the next moment he heard Yue Chongbin's words.

"Elder Zhou, let Elder Zhou handle the matter of notifying Xuanwu Gate."

Zhou Quan looked up at Yue Chongbin. He didn't dare to refuse the sect leader's order.

When Chen Qian heard the sect master's words, his old eyes lit up. The sect master's move was really smart. Among the people present, only Zhou Quan and Sun Chaoyang had a good relationship. Now Zhou Quan was going to Xuanwu Gate. When the news of Xuanwu Gate's cancellation of the engagement came out in the future, Sun Ming was afraid that even Zhou Quan would resent him.

…

In the yard, Chu Ning was also thinking at this moment.

Sun Ming, should we spare his life?

He suddenly remembered that Sun Ming had already stacked several layers of protagonist buff.

My father was deposed and is probably dead now.

The engagement was called off.

He was suppressed by the sect.

These three are the standard features of the protagonists in the past.

"Why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a villain?"

Chu Ning smiled helplessly, then his spiritual sense spread out and spread to the entire Luoshan Sect.

He wanted to see what kind of reputation Sun Ming had among the disciples of Luoshan Sect.

…

"Have you heard that Elder Sun is in trouble, and Sun Ming has been taken to the back mountain by the elders."

“Is this true or false?”

"Really? This is what Elder Chen's disciple Ji Youli said personally."

"God has eyes. Sun Ming bullied his fellow disciples. Junior Brother Yang was targeted by Sun Ming because he pleaded for Senior Brother Wang. He was sent to the poisonous mine area and lost his life in just a few years."

"Who says it's not true? Knowing that Elder Sun and Sun Ming are in trouble, many disciples are celebrating."

"Do you know who did it? Could it be the Sect Master?"

"I'm not sure about that, but it shouldn't be the Sect Master. The Sect Master never cares about these trivial matters."

…

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

…

The disciples of Luoshan Sect soon discovered that many deacons of the sect had disappeared. The elders said that these deacons were being reused, but those with quick minds discovered that these disappeared deacons were all from Elder Sun's faction.

Three days later.

A bell rang in Luoshan Sect, and white banners were hung throughout the sect.

Elder Shu passed away and the sect held a funeral for him.

Upon hearing the news, many disciples of the sect first showed expressions of shock, and then turned into expressions of grief.

When the news of Sun Chaoyang's death spread, except for the disciples of Sun Chaoyang's faction who were panic-stricken, the other disciples were more happy. However, when they heard the news of Elder Shu's passing, most of the disciples were filled with sadness.

Elder Shu is a good person.

This is a point recognized by all disciples of Luoshan Sect.

Many disciples of the sect had questions about their cultivation and courageously came to Elder Shu for help. Instead of scolding them for not knowing the rules, Elder Shu carefully answered their questions about cultivation.

Not to mention that many disciples have asked Elder Shu to borrow spirit crystals, which are all favors.

The entire Luoshan Sect was instantly immersed in grief.

At the same time, in the Luoshan Sect area, powerful auras were spreading towards this side.

The first person to appear at the mountain gate was an old man.

Late Nascent Soul stage?

When Chen Qian saw the old man, his heart trembled, and he hurried forward to greet him: "Excuse me, senior, who are you?"

"I am Zhang Qi, and I am here to attend Senior Brother Shu's funeral."

Zhang Qi felt the sad atmosphere of Luoshan Sect. He could see the plain white linen cloth at a glance, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes.

He came to Danyu on the same flying boat as Chu Ning. Back then in Xinhuo Palace, Senior Brother Shu took good care of him and explained the situation in Danyu to him.

As a genius from the Lower Realm, he was indeed not well suited to the situation during his first few days in Xinhuo Palace. It was Senior Brother Shu who guided him step by step and rekindled his ambition to practice.

Later, Senior Brother Shu left Xinhuo Hall and he lost contact with Senior Brother Shu. He himself also left Xinhuo Hall a few decades later and joined a secondary sect.

More than three hundred years ago, when Chu Ning won first place in the rookie competition, he wrote a letter to Chu Ning, but he did not expect Chu Ning to reply because he and Chu Ning did not have much interaction. In the letter, he asked about Senior Brother Shu's recent situation.

Unexpectedly, Chu Ning wrote back to him, but he didn't know the whereabouts of Senior Brother Shu.

Until a few days ago, when he received another letter from Chu Ning, he was still somewhat curious about why Chu Ning wrote to him. Unexpectedly, he received the bad news about Senior Brother Shu.

After receiving the message, he rushed here immediately, hoping to see Senior Brother Shu for the last time, because Chu Ning did not say in the letter that Senior Brother Shu had passed away, but only said that Senior Brother Shu’s life was coming to an end. However, he did not expect that he was still a step too late.

"It's Brother Zhang, please come in."

Chen Qian was about to take Zhang Qi up the mountain, but the next moment another figure appeared.

"But Senior Brother Zhang Qi?"

The person who came was an old woman. Zhang Qi turned around and looked at her. After a while, he said, "Is it Sister Cheng?"

Cheng Shuangmei nodded. She was from the same flying boat as Zhang Qi and Chu Ning. She was also taken care of by Senior Brother Shu in Xinhuo Hall. She came here immediately after receiving the message from Chu Ning.

"Another cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage."

Chen Qian felt the aura of Cheng Shuangmei and was shocked again.

Chu Ning was not wrong, Elder Shu did have a wide circle of friends. The sadness in the eyes of these two people was real. They did not come because of Chu Ning's invitation, but were truly sad about the passing of Elder Shu.

In the next few days, Chen Qian went from being shocked to being numb.

There are thirty-four Nascent Soul cultivators, four of whom are in the late Nascent Soul stage, and the rest are in the middle Nascent Soul stage.

The appearance of these people made Yue Chongbin unable to sit still. At this moment, he was extremely grateful. Fortunately, Chu Ning was the first to come, fortunately Chu Ning killed Sun Chaoyang, and fortunately Chu Ning did not tell these people about the secret.

Yue Chongbin had personally received these people. He knew from their sad expressions and words that they respected Elder Shu from the bottom of their hearts. If they knew that their Luoshan Sect was going to hastily hold Elder Shu's funeral, they would probably turn his Luoshan Sect upside down.

Yue Chongbin and several elders were terrified, while the disciples of Luoshan Sect were shocked. They had not expected that Elder Shu, who usually had no airs of an elder, actually had so many senior friends.

Seven days later, on the last day of Shu Wenruan's mourning, Sun Ming in the back mountain failed in his attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and lost his life.

Not many people in the entire Luoshan Sect knew about this matter.

Chen Qian simply revealed the news to Chu Ning that evening.

After the mourning in the funeral hall ended, Chu Ning finally thought about it and did not bury Senior Brother Shu’s body in the back mountain of Luoshan Sect. Instead, he took Senior Brother Shu’s body away.

During these seven days, Chu Ning, Zhang Qi and others also talked a lot.

Everyone talked about the past and their experiences over the years, especially about Senior Brother Shu. When they got emotional, several people's eyes turned red.

The further you practice, the weaker your emotions become.

Senior Brother Shu has lived his life well as he has been remembered and appreciated by so many Nascent Soul cultivators.

Chu Ning just left like that, without saying a word to Senior Brother Shu's five disciples from beginning to end.

Not saying anything was already the greatest tolerance he could show towards these five people for the sake of Senior Brother Shu.

Luoshan Sect will not suppress these five people anymore.

That's enough.

He couldn't ask the elders of Luoshan Sect to take care of these five people.

Even Zhang Qinqin was not up to standard in Chu Ning's eyes.

If it were him, when other brothers and sisters behaved in a way that he could not accept, they were no longer his brothers and sisters.

Zhang Qinqin finally compromised. She just wanted peace of mind.
