Chapter 129 Countermeasures (Third update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
"Brother Xian, the sect has already decided to let Zhu Changsheng serve as the deacon of Pegasus Group and co-manage Pegasus Group with Li Shuanglin."
Zhou Yuling looked at Gao Xian with some worry. She knew that Gao Xian took this matter very seriously and he hurried over to report the news as soon as he heard the news.
Gao Xian smiled at Zhou Yuling and said, "Why are you so nervous? Zhu Changsheng can come if he wants. He doesn't eat people."
"I'm not worried about you, but you're still mocking me. You have no conscience!"
Zhou Yuling saw that Gao Xian looked normal, so she couldn't help but pout and complain. At the same time, she was also relieved.
"Come, give me a hug."
Gao Xian opened his arms with a smile. Although Zhou Yuling brought extremely bad news, the stone hanging in the air finally fell to the ground, and he felt at ease.
Zhou Yuling is so smart. Even though Gao Xian is smiling and as coquettish as usual, she always feels something is wrong.
She looked at Gao Xian suspiciously with her eyes curved: "Did you sleep with Zhu Qiniang?"
"Sister, please don't say anything nonsense. If Qi Niang hears it, we will be in trouble. This is not a joke."
Gao Xian hurriedly denied it. Not to mention that Zhou Yuling was his girlfriend, he would not admit it no matter who asked him.
The key point is that he didn’t even get enough sleep!
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Zhou Yuling thought for a moment and asked, "Could it be that you killed Shopkeeper Zhu?"
Gao Xian laughed dryly: "Don't you know me yet? I don't have the guts to kill anyone."
"Hmph, you never know. My father has always said that you are sinister and cruel."
Zhou Yuling snorted softly. She didn't quite believe her father's judgment, but she knew that Gao Xian was actually quite powerful.
In three years, he advanced from the second level of Qi training to the seventh level. Apart from anything else, this speed of practice is enough to be called genius.
Even the true disciples of Lianyun Sect may not be stronger than Gao Xian in cultivation.
She took Gao Xian's arm and said affectionately, "Brother, if you are afraid of Zhu Changsheng, you can stay at my house first.
"Zhu Changsheng is only in the initial stage of foundation building, so he should at least give face to my master. Besides, he is not on good terms with Li Shuanglin. He should be more cautious in doing things. You will be fine if you stay at my house."
Gao Xian had an idea and thought that this might be a good solution.
Zhou Ye’s master, Nan Pingsong, is the elder who teaches martial arts in Lianyun Sect.
From the perspective of the sect's organizational structure, the elders who pass on the skills are equivalent to members of the CPPCC, which is considered a good job for retirement.
Although he doesn't have much power, he still has some status.
Nan Pingsong didn't think much of him and even gave him the position of outer sect deacon.
In the previous life, this outer sect deacon was equivalent to a civil servant. Although it didn't look very impressive, it was still very important to the casual cultivators.
In addition, Zhu Changsheng was not clear about his situation, so he would not fall out with Nan Pingsong for him.
But there is a problem with this. Zhu Hongan’s death will be blamed entirely on Qiniang.
All other issues will also be borne by Qinnan.
Gao Xian had long given up the idea of helping others, but his relationship with Qiniang was not that simple.
Rationally speaking, giving up on Qiniang would be beneficial to both parties.
There is no point in him and Qi Niang taking the responsibility together. It will just make one more person suffer.
If he jumped out and Qi Niang took the responsibility alone, he could support and help Qi Niang from the side.
This reason is very sufficient, but I just can't convince myself.
Gao Xian hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. It involves Lujiaosan and Tianguidan. I can't just leave it all to Qiniang. I need to discuss with Qiniang how to deal with it."
Zhou Yuling was silent for a moment and then nodded. Of course, she hoped that Gao Xian would go with her, but she would also be very uncomfortable if Gao Xian gave up Qiniang without hesitation.
In times of crisis, one's true character is revealed.
Gao Xian and Qiniang have such a close relationship. If he only cares about his own safety and ignores Qiniang, it would be too cold-blooded and heartless!
How could she trust such a person and spend her life with such a person? !
Gao Xian thought Zhou Yuling was worried about him, so he comforted her softly, "It's okay. At most, I'll have to make pills for the Zhu family for a few years. Besides, I'm not without a teacher. Zhu Changsheng won't dare to go too far."
Zhou Yuling knew Gao Xian’s teacher Xu Mingyuan and knew what he was like.
Hearing Gao Xian say this, she couldn't help but laugh. If Xu Mingyuan was reliable, he wouldn't just leave Gao Xian here and not care about anything.
She felt a little sympathy for Gao Xian. Such a good brother was too pitiful. The teacher used him as a tool to make money.
Zhou Yuling took the initiative to kiss Gao Xian, "Well, it'll be fine. If you really get into trouble, remember to come find my dad."
Gao Xian and Zhou Yuling stayed together for a while, and as it was getting dark, he sent Zhou Yuling back home.
When Qi Niang came back, Gao Xian told her the news that Zhu Changsheng was coming to Fei Ma Ji.
Zhu Qiniang was silent for a long time, "This is really bad news."
She had no roots in Lianyun Sect. Although she was very concerned about Zhu Changsheng's movements, she was not as well-informed as Zhou Ye.
"Yeah." Gao Xian also sighed.
Zhu Qiniang looked at Gao Xian and asked, "What are you going to do?"
They had discussed this matter several times, but they were not sure whether Zhu Changsheng would come, so they had no specific plan.
Now, a decision must be made.
Gao Xian looked straight into Qi Niang's bright green eyes and said, "Let's see what Zhu Changsheng has to say first. Then we can make a decision?"
Zhu Qiniang said seriously, "Why don't you go to Zhou Ye's place and hide there for a few days first."
"Yuling told me that I also wanted to stay out of the spotlight."
Gao Xian said with a complicated expression: "It's just that this is too disloyal. We in the underworld all value the word 'righteousness'. Besides, if I run away like this, I'm afraid Yuling will despise me."
“To do great things is not to be fussy about small details.”
Zhu Qiniang said calmly: "Those morals and righteousness are for ordinary people to hear. How can we be constrained by them?"
Gao Xian couldn't help but laugh: "You are always so philosophical. Always so calm and rational."
He was silent for a moment and held Qi Niang's hand. "We are good brothers. We must live and die together. No matter how many legitimate reasons you have, you can't deceive yourself."
"There's no need for that." Zhu Qinnan shook her head slightly, and she exerted force on her hands to try to break free from Gao Xian's hand.
Unexpectedly, Gao Xian held it tighter, "Okay, then let me put it another way. I can't bear to part with you."
He added: "We haven't slept yet!"
The seemingly teasing words actually touched the softest part of Qinnan's heart.
She felt as if the blood in her body was burning, and her body was shaking slightly uncontrollably.
That was because the joy and excitement in her heart dominated her body and mind.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
This man did not let her down at the critical moment.
Qi Niang's cheeks flushed, and her bright green eyes were filled with joy that overflowed from the bottom of her heart. The calmness on her face was burned away by the fire in her heart.
But she didn't know what to say, so she just held Gao Xian's hand tightly.
Gao Xian's hands were pinched so hard that they hurt, but his cultivation had greatly improved, so he could barely endure it. It wasn't like the previous two times when he was pinched so hard that he wanted to scream for help.
He gently stroked Qiniang's burning cheek and whispered, "You have a fever. Let me help you get rid of it..."
Qi Niang was a little shy but brave enough to look directly at Gao Xian: "Okay!"
Gao Xian was just joking to liven up the atmosphere, but since Qi Niang was so tough, he actually felt a little scared.
"Let's talk business first..."
No matter how deep and strong their feelings were, they were vulnerable in front of the foundation-building master. There was no point in saying sweet words at this time. The important thing was to come up with a comprehensive countermeasure.
Gao Xian quickly pulled his hand out while the bones were still intact. He said, "I heard from Yuling that Li Shuanglin and Zhu Changsheng have a conflict. Can we win over Li Shuanglin to fight against Zhu Changsheng?"
Hearing Gao Xian talking about serious matters, Zhu Qiniang calmed down and said, "In fact, Master Zhu Changsheng died decades ago. He was greedy and cowardly, and no one in Lianyun Sect liked him.
"Behind Li Shuanglin is his uncle Li Yunze. It is said that this man has a gentle and generous personality and does not like fighting.
"Without the support of this uncle, Li Shuanglin would not dare to act recklessly."
Zhu Qiniang added: "Besides, Li Shuanglin is a vicious and narrow-minded person who cannot tolerate others. He will not take us seriously. If we cooperate with him, we will only become his pawns."
“What a hassle…”
Gao Xian was at a loss as to what to do. Facing a great monk who had reached the foundation-building stage, all his conspiracies and plans seemed so powerless.
They have no connections and no room for maneuver.
The two discussed for a long time, but could not find any reliable countermeasures. The main reason was that they did not know what Zhu Changsheng's attitude was, which made them both feel a little lucky.
Back in the bedroom, Gao Xian stroked the Qinglian Sword and fell into deep thought.
In case Zhu Changsheng goes too far, he must be prepared to take action.
The Shadowless Robe definitely cannot approach the Foundation Establishment Monk silently.
For this reason, he had tested it with Li Shuanglin twice. When he was within 20 steps, Li Shuanglin had already sensed something.
As for using magic to launch a sneak attack, don't even think about it.
As long as one uses his spiritual consciousness to condense magical power, it will naturally trigger the practitioner's induction.
The sensing range of a great monk in the early stage of foundation building is one hundred steps. Within this distance, it is almost impossible to use magic to launch a sneak attack on a great monk in the early stage of foundation building.
If you want to kill Zhu Changsheng, the Green Lotus Sword is the most reliable one.
His swordsmanship reached the master level, and he once practiced sword fighting with Qiniang.
After all, Qi Niang specialized in practicing physical skills and was at the tenth level of Qi training, so her speed and strength were not much worse than those at the initial stage of foundation building.
On the other hand, he didn't try his best.
The master's perfect Electric Light Dragon Hand gave him a huge advantage in speed and reaction. Especially when he advanced to the seventh level of Qi training, his physical strength in all aspects improved.
This allows him to further unleash the speed of his electric light dragon hand.
The swordsmanship at the Grandmaster level allowed him to integrate his body and mind, increasing his sword-drawing speed by another three points.
When in the Qinglian Feihong Sword state, the blade of the Qinglian Sword completely turned into a blade-like rainbow light, which increased his sword speed by another three points.
Gao Xian had seen several great foundation-building cultivators such as Li Shuanglin and Zhang Chunjiang fight, and had a certain understanding of their strength and speed.
With his current speed, he is definitely two points ahead of Li Shuanglin and Zhang Chunjiang. Coupled with the special state of the Green Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword, he should be able to surpass these two foundation-building masters in terms of speed.
Of course, the differences in cultivation methods, combat awareness, combat skills, etc. determine that there are huge differences between individual foundation-building monks.
According to Qinniang, Zhu Changsheng is a master alchemist, famous for his alchemy, and not good at fighting.
Zhu Changsheng is 170 years old this year, and he has just reached the second level of foundation building. In terms of age, he is actually in the middle and late stages of his life.
The possibility of further progress is basically cut off.
Gao Xian thought again of the second-level iron-scaled demon tiger that he had killed.
Although the second-level monsters were very intelligent, they could not compare with humans after all. That was why he and Qi Niang joined forces to kill them.
However, the magic power of the second-level monster is two points stronger than that of a foundation-building monk.
Gao Xian was deeply impressed by the protective magic flame of the Iron Scale Demon Tiger. He thought that he should be able to kill it with the Green Lotus Flying Rainbow Sword! Considering all aspects, as long as he got close to Zhu Changsheng and gave him a sword, the trouble would be solved.
Thinking of this, Gao Xian couldn't help but smile, but it was a little bitter...
