Chapter 45 I Won't Come Down the Peak

  Cao Yu smiled slightly and said, "Master Luo is indeed a reasonable person. Since it's not convenient to grant this, why not let my disciple stay in the peak for a few days? I'll get in touch with Li Shimei and maybe we can settle this matter."

  Luo Qianyun nodded after a moment of contemplation, "I can allow this, but whether Mo Ying will fall in love with you depends on your own abilities. Remember, don't force it, if Mo Ying has no intention towards you, you must leave quickly."

  "Thank you, Master Shu, I will remember your words." Cao Yu's face involuntarily revealed a smile. With his appearance and cultivation, if he still couldn't move Li Mochen's heart in this sect, then no one could.

  Each peak's disciples looked at each other, Shen Cong turned his head to look at Pan Yue, "Wanting to stay in the peak, actually still using this kind of trick? How did I not know before, is Master aware?"

  "It's only natural that this rule has been in place for over a hundred years, it's just that it hasn't been used much in recent years. Normally, we could have stayed on the mountain for several days, but something happened this year so it's like this. Now that Cao Yu is using this rule, Luo Shifu naturally can't say anything, if you want to stay on the mountain, you can also use this trick." Pan Yue said with a smile.

  "Junior brother is indeed thinking of this." Shen Cong nodded seriously and said.

  "Ah!" Pan Yue was startled, and immediately grabbed Shen Cong's arm. "I was just joking, you mustn't go up there. Yesterday's matter has been exposed, and Luo Shifu's mood is definitely not good. If you go up there now, you'll only leave a bad impression on him, and it will be difficult for you to get close to the Yu Nu Feng disciples in the future."

  Shen smiled slightly but didn't answer, instead asking: "I wonder if Big Brother knows how many more days Lin Liting has before she can leave the pass?"

  "That witch? I don't know, but I've heard from others that she might be able to leave the barrier in just a few days. After all, it's only breaking through the fourth stage of the barrier, it shouldn't take too much time." Pan Yue replied subconsciously, and then his face changed, he was about to grab Shen Cong again, but Shen Cong had already left his original position and floated down onto the square.

  "Disciple Shen Cong, sincerely requests to stay at the peak for a few more days, and also asks Master Shu to permit it." Shen Cong said loudly. Since Lin Liting would be able to leave the pass in a few days, Shen Cong naturally wanted to wait. If unfortunately, Lin Liting really reached the fourth stage of Condensed Origin, Shen Cong could take advantage of her not having learned other Thunder Methods yet and recharge for a while.

  Otherwise, Lin Liting will learn other thunder techniques in the future, and Shen Cong dare not guarantee that he can take it head-on. Now it's just the palm thunder, which is the most inferior thunder technique, Shen Cong can still hold on. Thinking of this, Shen Cong also felt helpless, now even charging needs to be rushed, otherwise, he would end up being struck to death.

  Lu Qianyun looked around and saw that it was Shen Cong, she couldn't help but be taken aback. Her face didn't show any anger, only a hint of curiosity, "You stayed behind, what's the reason? Could it be that you also have your eyes on one of my disciples?"

  "Master Uncle is wise." Shen Cong bowed and paid his respects.

  Luo Qianyun's expression changed to one of delight, "At your age, you should be focusing on cultivating yourself. This matter between men and women is a bit too early. Wait two more years, come to my peak, and I'll let you choose freely, how about that?"

  Everyone was taken aback by Luo Qianyun's words, and after a couple of years, let that kid choose whoever he wants? Is this good or not, even Cao Yu didn't have such treatment. Some people observed Shen Cong, who was only at the second stage of combined power peak, and his cultivation was actually quite ordinary among the inner disciples, with the only bright spot being his age, which seemed to be really young.

  But even so, there's no need to go that far. At this age, having such cultivation is pretty good, but it's only just pretty good. Why should we open the doors of convenience for this kid? Could it be that this kid is actually the illegitimate child of Master Luo?

  "As for that sister, I have been thinking about her day and night, afraid it will take two years. Either she has married someone else or I am troubled by worries and cannot cultivate." Shen Cong said with a smile.

  "Still choosing the older sister, this kid really has guts. Understands what's good about an older sister, knows how to pamper her. At such a young age, already having such research, truly impressive." Someone joked, causing several people around them to burst out laughing.

  Lu Qianyun looked at Shen Cong's expression and was also speechless. "Then you'd better say it, which disciple on my mountain is so lucky to have caught your eye."

  "Master said with a smile." Shen Congwei bowed, "That master sister's name is Lin Liting, the disciple has inquired about it from all sides and is already clear. It is heard that Master Sister is currently in seclusion, hoping to wait until Master Sister comes out of seclusion, and hopes that Master can permit it."

  "You actually took a liking to Lin Liting that girl." Luo Qianyun stared at Shen Cong in a daze, thinking of others, but not expecting Lin Liting. Although Lin Liting's appearance and figure were stunning, her temper was really unbearable for ordinary people. To suppress Lin Liting, one would have to be stronger than her in terms of ability; otherwise, it would be a case of being controlled by her in the future.

  Shen Cong is now only at the peak of the second stage of combined force, while Lin Liting has already reached the cultivation of impacting the fourth stage of condensed origin. The gap between the two sides is not ordinary.

  Lu Qianyun looked at Shen Cong's sincere gaze, if she didn't agree, it was likely that this child's mind wouldn't change. Should she let him suffer some setbacks? Lu Qianyun knew that Lin Liting would absolutely not accept someone with Shen Cong's cultivation. Moreover, Lin Liting was extremely rebellious, and sometimes even her words could provoke a reaction, so if Shen Cong went forward, wasn't he just asking to be beaten?

  There must be someone in this world who can capture Lin Liting's heart, but it is absolutely not Shen Cong, or maybe that person has not appeared yet.

  "Let you stay for a few more days, but no matter what the outcome is in the end, you'd better be mentally prepared. In case something happens to you, your master will come to me to argue."

  "Thank you, Uncle." Shen felt a surge of joy in his heart, this task was finally accomplished. As for how to get the electricity next, he could only think of a way himself.

  "Master, I have some objections to this matter!"

  Just as Shen Cong was about to step down, a person suddenly walked out and said loudly. The man glanced at Shen Cong with an arrogant look in his eyes, walked up to Luo Qianyun, and bowed, "The disciple thinks it's better to invite this junior brother down the mountain, which is more beneficial for him."

  "Why did you say that?" Luo Qianyun looked at Li Xiao below, appearing puzzled. Li Xiao was usually the most obedient disciple, compared to Li Mojing's arrogance and Lin Liting's rebelliousness, Li Xiao was the standard good disciple in Luo Qianyun's heart, and whatever she said, Li Xiao would basically do unconditionally.

  "According to the rules of our sect, if you want to pursue a partner, your cultivation must surpass theirs in order to have that qualification." Li Xiao raised his head and pointed at Shen Cong, "This junior brother is currently only at the second stage of combined force, barely scraping by. Compared to Lin Shijie, he's still one stage behind in terms of cultivation. If Lin Shijie has a natural talent and breaks through to the fourth stage of condensed origin, that would be two stages apart. How can he have the qualification to pursue her? It's better to just give up now and avoid hurting both parties' feelings. Otherwise, it will be awkward later on and might hurt this junior brother's self-esteem."

  Li Huan's words were polite, but anyone could hear the disdain in them.

  Lu Qianyun furrowed her brow, Li Xiao's words were indeed impolite. But she couldn't say that Li Xiao was wrong, after all, this was also a fact. According to Lu Qianyun's original plan, it was to let Lin Liting handle it herself. At that time, the thunder method would be enough to make Shen Cong lose confidence and eliminate his idea from the root.

  Shen Congruo would definitely nod in agreement if he knew Luo Qianyun's thoughts. What he needs is for Lin Liting to use her electric method to shock him, and then he will calm down for a while. Then, when the electricity is gone, he will make another comeback...

  Luo Qianyun didn't object, so Li Xiao revealed a smile and turned to walk towards Shen Cong. "This junior brother, it's not that I look down on you. When your cultivation improves, you can come find Lin again in the peak. For now, please go back and cultivate well." The words were polite, but his tone was full of mockery.

  "Junior brother still wants to try it personally." Shen Cong smiled and said.

  "You don't have a chance." Li Xiao shook his head.

  "Only after trying will you know, Master asked me to try how it is, what's the result, Master himself will be responsible." Shen looked at Li Xiao calmly, not paying attention to the warning in his eyes.

  "Doing something shameful isn't fun. In the end, you won't just lose your own face, but also bring shame to your mountain and your master. It's really not necessary, don't you think?" Li Xun looked down at Shen Cong.

  "Give it a try, maybe it's not that bad."

  Shen Cong still smiled, causing Li Xiao's liver fire to slowly rise. His words were already that clear, was this kid an idiot or what, yet he still couldn't understand? Last time in the forest, how did the palm thunder not strike him dead, this waste!

  "What's going on? My junior brother is looking for Lin Liting, what does it have to do with you!" Pan Yue shouted loudly from the side.

  Li Xiao's eyes gazed over, his gaze extremely sharp, "I'm also doing this for the good of my junior brother, can't you see that?!"

  "Li Xiao, since Shen Cong insists on it, let him try, it won't hurt," Luo Qianyun said aloud. As for Shen Cong, she still had some good feelings in her heart, after all, Shen Cong was almost about to become her disciple, only lacking that thread of fate.

  "Master said so." Li Xiao suddenly smiled, "Then let this junior brother try it out. However, Lin Shizhi is currently in closed-door meditation and may not be able to come out for several days. Everyone who comes to Yúnǚ Peak are guests, making a guest wait that long is not right. Moreover, we can all guess the outcome of this last junior brother, making him wait for that tragic result, that's even more not right."

  Seeing Luo Qianyu not responding, Li Xue continued: "Therefore, I suggest that I come and exchange a few moves with this junior brother. It's not to test each other, but just to let the junior brother feel the power of the third stage of Tongli Peak. If this junior brother can persist and even defeat me, then he will certainly be able to take the beauty back home. If he cannot, I'm sure he won't have any more complaints after being defeated!"

  Li Xiao's face was smiling, but his breath was like a cold winter surrounding Shen Cong. Without moving his hands, Shen Cong could already feel Li Xiao's murderous intent towards him. Lin Liting, who had always been considered off-limits, was actually being targeted by this toad, and still didn't know what was good for her. When Li Xiao didn't care about inviting trouble, he "accidentally" beat her into a severe injury, and it would be even better if she became disabled from the waist down!

  Han Yi was caught by Luo Qianyun, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. He didn't know how Li Xiao would react to Shen Cong's extreme hostility. However, at this moment, one side was his own disciple, while the other was someone else's disciple. Although he had a good impression of Shen Cong, he absolutely wouldn't help Shen Cong speak ill of his own disciple. Moreover, if Shen Cong were wise, comparing the strength of both sides would lead him to retreat directly.

  The people around were watching with great interest, Shen Congxu's cultivation was too low, and he was at the bottom of this Bai Feng disciple. He actually dared to chase after Lin Liting, a beauty that even they only dared to imagine in their hearts. Perhaps it was because they couldn't stand Shen Cong having more courage than them, the vast majority of people were happy to see Shen Cong make a fool of himself.

  Cao Yu looked down at the scene below, a smile on his face. Treating this as a joke was not bad. However, with such rough cultivation, he actually dared to imitate himself and do the same thing, it's laughable how his brain worked.

  Everyone was waiting for Shen Cong to respond, Li Xiao had intentionally made things difficult, and with so many people watching the joke, being smart would definitely mean choosing to temporarily retreat, otherwise it wouldn't just be a matter of losing face.

  "What's your take on this, junior brother?" Li Xiao smiled, "Oh, right, I still don't know what your name is, junior brother. I heard it before but seem to have forgotten."

  "As for declining a duel, how could his junior brother possibly refuse? As for the name, after defeating his senior brother, he will surely remember it clearly!"

  Shen Cong smiled, but as soon as he said this, Li Xiao's smile disappeared completely.
