Chapter Forty-Nine A Big Loss

  "Could it be that Lin Shijie is not satisfied, hence this? I really don't understand what Lin Shijie is thinking. Someone pursuing him should be a good thing, and that person can even defeat Li Xun Shixiong, his cultivation is already quite strong, why must he be so angry?"

  "Shh, it's not for us to comment on Master Lin's affairs. Be careful or you'll get a thunderbolt from her. Don't come crying to me when that happens, we won't be sympathizing with you."

  "Get out, you're so heartless, I'll beat you up." The sound of giggles echoed, and the people in the back mountain would not understand Lin Liting's mood at this moment. If it were someone else who was pursuing her, it would be fine, after all, she could defeat that Li Xiao, and her combat power must not be weak. Although Lin Liting may not necessarily take a liking to him, she would still feel happy in her heart.

  But the audience, isn't that man the same lecher as before? Last time, a single Palm Thunder didn't even scare him off, and now he dares to come again, and even chased all the way to Yúnǚ Peak, begging in front of Master. How could Lin Liting not be angry, her figure almost turning into a phantom, with the added speed from the attached Thunder Spirit Energy.

  It would take him half an hour to walk the distance, but Lin Liting finished it in ten minutes. When she arrived at the martial arts arena, the battle was nearing its end, and soon they would be able to determine the winner. Just looking at Cao Yu's flushed face, one could tell what the situation was like now.

  Shen Cong no longer looked at the martial arts arena, but instead continuously thought and pondered in his mind. If he were to encounter these two people himself, what method would he use to respond? Hard resistance was definitely not feasible, as the absolute strength difference between the two sides was too great. Even if Shen Cong could win in the end, he would still inevitably suffer a fatal blow, which would be equivalent to exchanging lives for lives, and it was definitely not worth it.

  "That lecherous Shen, come out and meet your death!" A loud shout, Lin Liting stood at the edge of the martial arts arena, her body radiating lightning-like aura, as if a goddess had descended to earth, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at her.

  Everyone looked back, even Li Muyang and Li Mingying, who were in the middle of a heated debate, stopped their hands and turned around.

  "It's Lin Shi Mei, she actually broke through to the fourth stage successfully, it's really great!" Seeing clearly the figure, Li Mian Ying's already exhausted heart was filled with great joy. The Jade Maiden Peak would once again add a new fourth-stage cultivator disciple. Moreover, Lin Li Ting is even younger than her and specializes in thunder techniques, her future achievements might even surpass hers.

  "It turned out to be Lin Shimei, truly a joyous occasion." Cao Yu looked down and found it was Lin Liting, whose cultivation had already reached the fourth stage, which also shocked him. However, this wasn't what he cared about now, he wanted to continue the competition. But at this moment, everyone's attention was on Lin Liting, and he couldn't even move his hands, which made him feel annoyed.

  "Liting, come over quickly. Mo Ying is trying to compare, what's the matter will be said later, don't disturb them!" Luo Qianyun found Lin Liting advancing, and was also delighted in her heart, beckoning her over.

  "Master, I'm going to find that little brat with the surname Shen. After I give him a good beating and kick him off Jade Maiden Peak, I'll come back and pay my respects to you!" Lin Liting said to Luo Qianyun with an unusually resolute tone.

  "Little Shen?" Luo Qianyu was taken aback.

  "It's that guy who said he was going to chase me!" Lin Liting exclaimed loudly, but her eyes darted towards the martial arts arena, where she winked at Li Mochen with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

  Li Moying was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly understood and couldn't help but smile slightly. It turned out that his junior sister had done it on purpose, probably seeing that he was about to be defeated, she intentionally came out to stir up trouble.

  About to lose, but still have to do this kind of thing. If it were a man, he would definitely be despised. But if it happens to a woman, it will only make people sigh with sorrow.

  This is the bitterness of being a man. If you dare to make reckless comments in front of a woman and let your eyes wander, you will be scolded as a rascal and slapped. But if a woman stands in front of you, lets her eyes wander, and says some flirtatious words, you can't call her a rascal, and the woman won't feel any shame either.

  Li Moying glanced at Cao Yu, and in her heart, she didn't want to lose to him either. As for Cao Yu, she really didn't have that intention. Moreover, this time the competition was almost evenly matched, but what made the difference was the treasure. Li Moying's heart naturally felt unwilling, but now with her junior sister intervening, she also acquiesced in her heart.

  Lu Qianyun looked at Lin Liting's gaze and Li Muying's change in demeanor, and she couldn't help but know what had happened. She let out a bitter laugh, although she didn't want Li Muying to lose either. As the sect master, she wouldn't do such things. Just as she was about to order Lin Liting to step down, Lin Liting suddenly pointed at someone and shouted in a shrill voice, "It's you! You actually dare to appear here!"

  As soon as the words fell, Lin Liting had already crossed the martial arts arena, and the lightning flashed, causing the spiritual energy in the arena to become completely disordered. Cao Yu's two people were already exhausted, and being stirred up like this made it impossible for them to continue fighting. A cold light flashed in Cao Yu's eyes, thinking that all his previous efforts had been in vain. Li Muying's eyes, on the other hand, showed a hint of a smile.

  Lin Liting came before Shen Cong, her expression was truly furious, "How dare you come again, last time I spared your life, must I really chop you to death this time!"

  "Sister Shī said with a smile, how could anyone be willing to be chopped to death." Shěn Cóng smiled, but was not panicked.

  "If you don't want to die, why are you still here at Jade Maiden Peak!" Lin Liting shouted loudly.

  "Missing the teacher, it naturally came." Lei Guang was overjoyed, but Shen Cong's butt started to itch again, making him want to scratch. However, in front of so many people, he had to endure the itching.

  Lin Liting was taken aback by Shen Cong's words, and she didn't know how to respond. Especially since Shen Cong's gaze this time was sincere, without the teasing of the previous two times. For a woman, towards a man who wants to pursue her, even if she hates him, sometimes she may not be able to hate him more, or even hate him at all.

  "Sister, I truly care for you more than the sun and moon. If not for you, then follow me, how about it? I guarantee that I will treat you well, those other women are like weeds, not even worth a glance." Shen said with a lewd tone.

  Lin Liting blinked, her face suddenly flushing slightly, although only for an instant, but was still caught by Shen Cong. The people around heard Shen Cong's words, their expressions were strange, and some even directly booed. In this era, those who dared to express love like this were really too few. Shen Cong's move couldn't be said to be unimpressive.

  Lin Liting looked at Shen Cong, recalling the previous two encounters, her expression suddenly turned stern. "You deceived me, you didn't have any feelings for me to begin with! You think a few words can make up for what you did before? It's not that easy!" The lightning flashed violently, and Shen Cong's heart was filled with anger.

  "Sister, you are wronging me." Shen Cong said with a smile.

  "Lingt, stop messing around and come back!" Ro Qianyun's voice came over, Lin Liting just wanted to say something, but her body was already being dragged away. In front of the sixth-grade master, Lin Liting's strength was not enough to be seen.

  "Master!"

  Lin Liting was dissatisfied, and Shen Cong was also dissatisfied. What's the point of dragging people away for no reason? Shen Cong's plan had already been carried out halfway, and soon Lin Liting might be driven to desperation.

  Luo Qianyun glanced at Lin Liting, "You've already ruined your senior sister's trial, what else do you want? That matter, we'll settle later, first take care of Mo Ying's affairs!"

  Cao Yu's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he turned to look at Li Mochen. Li Mochen also smiled slightly, looking at Cao Yu with a flutter in his heart, but Li Mochen's words made Cao Yu's heart come to a complete standstill.

  "Senior brother, why don't we have a rematch next time?" With a smiling face, Li Mochen's current appearance was probably hard to refuse for others, but Cao Yu's heart only had the anger of being toyed with.

  "Let's just follow what Shifu's sister said, we'll compete again next time." Cao Yu still had a smile on his face, but his eyes had turned cold.

  "Thanks, Brother Cao!" Li Mianying bowed to Cao Yu and returned to Luo Qianyun's side, glancing at Lin Liting beside him with a hint of gratitude in his eyes. Although he usually appeared aloof, that was just a facade to ward off those men; towards his female fellow disciples, Li Mianying was not normally so cold, let alone today when Lin Liting had helped him out.

  Luo Qianyun couldn't help but think that Li Muying really didn't like Cao Yu, otherwise she wouldn't have used this method to temporarily avoid him.

  Cao Yu sneered and was about to walk to the side when the jade pendant on his waist suddenly emitted a burning sensation. At the same time, a streak of spiritual light flashed from the distant horizon and arrived at the summit in an instant.

  "Disciple Zhao Shi, paying respects to Master Luo Shu, and hoping Master Luo Shu will forgive the disciple's offense of coming uninvited." A blurry figure flashed in the spiritual light, but in an instant, it arrived at the martial arts arena, bowing to Luo Qianyun.

  "What's the purpose of using a fifth-grade Ling Xian symbol to come to my Jade Maiden Peak?" Luo Qianyun was astonished in her heart, as the Ling Xian symbol was a kind of spiritual symbol that could manifest one's self from thousands of miles away, with a power equivalent to about one-tenth of one's own divine ability. It was said that the precursor to the Ling Xian symbol was the ninth-grade Xian Shen symbol, which could divide one's self into eight-tenths of its actual power, and was indeed a divine symbol.

  But the Xian Shen Fu has long since disappeared in the river of history, and only a simplified version of the Xian Ling Fu still has a production method. This symbol is expensive as a fifth-order, and its production is naturally difficult, with a huge cost. However, the actual power of the Xian Hua is only one-tenth, making it seem like a useless thing, and almost no one uses it.

  "The disciple has come, but it's for a private matter." Zhao Shi smiled slightly and pointed to Lin Liting, "The disciple has admired Lin Shizhi for a long time, heard that Lin Shizhi is leaving the pass, specially came to take a look, at the same time hoping to make Lin Shizhi his lifelong companion, I hope Master Luo will help!"

  Lu Qianyun was taken aback, not expecting Zhao Shi to use the precious Lingyuan Symbol for this matter. This was also too extravagant, as everyone knew that even if the Lingyuan Symbol was used on a chicken, the resulting item would still be extremely valuable. Lu Qianyun looked at Zhao Shi and suddenly had an impression of this disciple, having heard that he had encountered something strange and after returning, not only did his cultivation progress rapidly, but also his generosity became extremely lavish.

  "Zhao Shidi." Cao Yu suddenly called out beside him.

  "Senior brother, I've troubled you with the matter a few days ago. Although it didn't work out, junior brother's promise will still be fulfilled." Zhao Shi bowed to Cao Yu and then turned to look at Shen Cong not far away, walking over with a smile, "I suppose this is Junior Brother Shen? Indeed young and promising."

  Zhao Shi looked at Shen Cong, he had just received a message from Yu Nuofeng that Lin Liting was out of the mountain and Shen Cong had also confessed to Lin Liting. Upon receiving this news, Zhao Shi couldn't stay still and rushed over immediately, even wasting a Lingyuan symbol.

  "It turned out to be Zhao Shixiong, a few days ago Cao Shixiong mentioned you, I have long admired you." Shen Cong said with a smile.

  Zhao Shi's face maintained a smile, his head slightly raised, "Shen Shidi, why don't we make a deal, what do you say?" His voice was low, only audible to the two of them.

  "Please tell me, elder brother."

  "I'll wipe out the thoughts of Lin Shi Mei, and I'll give you a substantial amount of cultivation resources. How about that?" Zhao Shi also felt a hint of threat, as he had heard that Lin Li Ting was not polite to other men, but she was extremely resentful towards Shen Cong.

  Hate and love are extremes, but sometimes the opposite is true, and hate can turn into love. Zhao Shi must be on guard, even if it's an unnecessary worry, but using some small material goods to gain peace of mind is worth it. The problems that could be solved with that money have never been a problem for him, Zhao Shi.

  "Can't come into contact later?" Shen Cong had no love for Lin Liting, but he had a lot of affection for her thunder method. In order to recharge, the disturbance in the future would definitely not be less.

  "Nature can no longer be in contact, it's better to die without seeing each other again!" Zhao Shi nodded.

  "That's unfortunate, young master," Shen Cong replied with a hint of regret, unable to swindle anything from the wealthy man, feeling quite disadvantaged.
