Staring at the twitching figure in the distance, Lu Shangyou's body froze. Rubbing his eyes hard to make sure that he was not hallucinating, he was stunned for a while before picking up two glasses of champagne to cover it up. Hastily walking to the corner of the banquet hall behind the woman who was trembling non-stop, he lowered his voice and asked in Mandarin, "Little Li, what's wrong with you?"
"Senior Brother Lu! Senior Brother Lu! Blood feud! Blood feud …" The woman became silent for a while before slowly turning around stiffly like a puppet. Her beautiful face that was painted with nude makeup was distorted to a horrifying extent as she squeezed out a few words with all of her strength with her teeth chattering loudly.
Lu Shangyou knew that this Junior Sister of his was a genius. She used to have the problem of being arrogant and willful, but ever since she experienced a catastrophe two to three years ago, she seemed to have been reborn and had become unusually calm. She had truly become a great talent among the younger generation in the Gate, so it was hard for him to imagine that she would lose her composure like this.
"Calm down! Y-You want to be possessed by the demon in your heart from now on?" Lu Shangyou did not have the time to reprimand the woman for going against the Gate's master's special instructions and calling him 'Senior Brother', so he shouted loudly.
Her Senior Brother's warning caused the woman to freeze. Hoarsely, she said, "Even if I'm possessed by the demon in my heart and can never be reincarnated, I, Li Xiangzhou, swear to kill this bastard! I swear to kill! I swear to kill this bastard …" In fact, she was panting heavily as she tried her best to suppress the blazing fire in her heart.
"Junior Sister, you also know how heavy the responsibility we have to shoulder in coming to the Noah World this time. The success or failure of the Gate of Dao's prosperity depends on this one move, so no matter what, we must put the overall situation first.
Hurry up and take the glass! Be careful! Don't attract attention … "When Lu Shangyou saw that Li Xiangzhou's distorted face had calmed down, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. A lightbulb went off in his head as he vaguely guessed something. His heart jolted, but he pretended to be nonchalant as he handed a glass of champagne to Li Xiangzhou.
"The overall situation is more important! It's the overall situation again! Back then, I said that I wanted to set up a trap to suppress the Gate of Witchcraft's arrogance, so we can't act rashly!" The woman did not take the wine handed by her Senior Brother at all. Instead, she gritted her teeth and said, "Now that the Gate of Witchcraft's prosperity is on the line, we must be more cautious …
Yes, yes, yes, all of you are right. Senior Brother Lu, both you and our teacher are right, but how can we not take revenge for Senior Brother Tianliang's blood, flesh, and soul being refined by the successor of the ancient witchcraft?
Senior Brother Tianliang saved me and Lianbao, but his soul was destroyed and he will never be able to reincarnate … "
Lu Shangyou had also heard rumors about the tragedy that Li Xiangzhou had mentioned. He knew that there was a Junior Brother called Zheng Tianliang in the sect who had tried to protect Li Xiangzhou and escape. His body and soul had been turned into ashes by a wizard.
This matter had once caused a great shock in the Gate, but in the end, it was left unsettled due to the delay of the teachers. According to Lu Shangyou's speculation, there were only three reasons why the teachers were unwilling to take revenge. First, they were indeed delayed by important matters.
Second, the reason why Zheng Tianliang was killed was that he was the one who set up a trap and was killed instead. Bound by the Heavenly Dao's rules, the Gate of Witchcraft really had no excuse to take revenge by crossing the country's borders. Adding on to the fact that they were afraid of causing an international dispute due to carelessness, they could only endure it.
Third, the position of Zheng Tianliang's lineage in the Gate of Witchcraft was weak. Even though his noble act of sacrificing himself to save his fellow disciples caused his reputation to soar after his death, there would not be a capable senior who would insist on taking revenge. If it was Li Xiangzhou or Duan Lianbao who died instead, it might be a different situation.
The third reason could not be said out loud. The first reason could persuade a rational normal person, but it could not persuade a madman who was blinded by hatred. When Lu Shangyou saw that Li Xiangzhou was about to collapse at any time, he knew that she was already trying her best not to make a move immediately. A series of expressions flashed across his face as he whispered, "Junior Sister Xiangzhou, even if you want to take revenge, you'll have to give it a long thought.
You must know that no matter how talented you are and how powerful your Dao method is, you might not necessarily be able to defeat the successor of the ancient witchcraft. "
"M-Senior Brother, y-you're saying that you're allowing me to take revenge?" The woman's eyes widened as her teeth chattered in ecstasy.
"I'm saying that you'll have to give it a long thought if you want to take revenge," Lu Shangyou said evasively. When Li Xiangzhou saw that he was avoiding the important point, she pondered for a while before gritting her teeth and saying, "Senior Brother Lu, you have an illustrious background in our Gate of Witchcraft, but as the saying goes, 'A red flower needs green leaves to set it off'. You also know that I also have some prestige among the female disciples in the Gate, and Lianbao's background is not inferior to yours either.
If you can take revenge for both of us, then the title of the most powerful person among the younger generation in the Gate of Witchcraft will definitely belong to you. Lianbao and I will follow your lead in the future … "
"Sigh, Junior Sister, why are you saying all these?
We're all brothers and sisters who are as close as the same mother, so there's no such thing as' the most powerful person 'or' the second ', "Lu Shangyou's eyes lit up as he crushed the champagne goblet with both of his hands. After pondering for a long time, as though he had finally made up his mind, he said with a solemn expression. "It's just that the Masters have their own considerations. Our disciples of the same generation were killed, so someone should indeed uphold justice.
Tell me, who is the thief who killed Junior Brother Lu? "
"It's the skinny guy who was talking to you just now. I'll never forget that ugly face."
"That skinny guy? Don't tell me he's Miss Douglin's boyfriend?" Lu Shangyou turned around subconsciously and looked at Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting lazily on the sofa against the wall, chatting and laughing with Guo Caiying. His expression changed right away. "Why does he seem to be very familiar with Minister Guo?"
"Minister Caiying graduated from Stanford, so she's the same school as that bastard, so it's not surprising that they know each other," Li Xiangzhou explained.
"Is that so? The world is really filled with filth. Who would've thought that such a well-dressed fella would actually be the successor of the ancient witchcraft?" Lu Shangyou frowned and muttered as if he was having a toothache, "This is going to be troublesome.
He's Miss Douglin's boyfriend, and we have to rely on Miss Douglin's mining company to mine the jade mine. Not to mention Minister Guo … This revenge is really hard to take! "
The enemy's special identity made Lu Shangyou feel dizzy from the temptation of false fame and benefits. At this time, Zhang Lisheng, who was being remembered because of his old hatred, was in high spirits. He said to Guo Caiying in an old-fashioned manner, "I'm very pleased to hear that. Looks like there are still people who can keep a clear mind about the Atlanteans."
"Junior Brother, you're not even 25 years old yet, so don't talk like a 52-year-old, okay?" Guo Caiying said with a curl of her lips. "I don't need your praise to know that I can think ahead of others in many things, but I really didn't expect your girlfriend's career to be so successful."
"Oh, then you're really wrong. Ordinary girls would have long been scared away by a man like me who dissects animal corpses all day long, feeds poisonous insects with flesh and blood, and can even transform into a King Kong. Those who would like me would, of course, not be ordinary people," Zhang Lisheng joked.
"You're right …" Guo Caiying was stunned for a moment before sighing. After a while, she suddenly stood up in silence and looked down at the young man before asking out of the blue, "I want to have a drink. Do you want some wine?"
"Wine? Oh no, I prefer Coke," Zhang Lisheng replied, feeling baffled.
"Junior Brother, you're really a weirdo. Indeed, ordinary girls don't like you at all." Guo Caiying looked at the young man with a blank expression for a while and suddenly broke into a smile. She walked to the table filled with champagne and began to drink one glass after another. She did not speak to Zhang Lisheng again until the end of the banquet and left drunkenly.
After going through so many things, the young man was no longer an idiot when it came to relationships. He could feel that Guo Caiying seemed to have a special affection for him, but Zhang Lisheng, who had unknowingly managed his relationship into a mess, did not want to get into a relationship debt at all.
It was exactly what he wanted for the girl to ignore him. In the following days, the young man would accompany his girlfriend at night. When Tina was busy with the company's business during the day, he would either stay alone in the bedroom to cultivate or stay with Trish.
Other than that, due to the reason that he was worried about his girlfriend who had accidentally obtained the sage's power, Zhang Lisheng also deliberately took some time to use the wizard power contained in his soul to carefully sense the mysterious book he obtained from the foreign world's god. He discovered that the sage's power could be combined with the power of faith to become more powerful, but its source was indeed not from the god's gift.
This was a kind of power produced in 'wisdom.' If it was used purely in war, it would not be powerful, but its ever-changing scope of application and the unique ability to enlighten ordinary people to possess supernatural powers would allow the person who mastered the sage's power to naturally possess the characteristics of a leader.
When the young man told Tina about his conclusion so that she could boldly explore her superpower in the future, the girl, who had long been accustomed to carrying the Philosopher's Book in her platinum bag wherever she went and would take it out to read a few pages whenever she had nothing to do, still pretended to be ecstatic, as though her boyfriend had solved a big problem for her.
Time passed by day after day. Unknowingly, it had already been two weeks since Zhang Lisheng came to the Noah World. This morning, when the slightly pale sun had just shone on the ground, Tina hurriedly got up and kissed the young man who was sitting beside her, cultivating a secret method for the whole night, before rushing into the bathroom.
After washing up, the girl ran to the dressing table to put on makeup while saying, "Baby, your Senior Sister and I have already reached the most critical stage of our business. We're going to the ore mining site to do a field survey today, so it'll be very late when we come back. Oh yeah, your Senior Sister will come too. Do you want to go?"
"My dear, we all know that the big company you're talking to is controlled by the Chinese government, not Senior Sister Guo Caiying," Zhang Lisheng said with a wry smile. "Also, I don't have any intention of taking the initiative to see her."
"Oh, I'm sorry, baby. You've indeed behaved very well these few days, but I'm still a little jealous …" It only took Tina five minutes to finish her makeup. Looking at her watch, she exclaimed, "Oh, there's no hurry. I love you. Goodbye." Leaving a light red lipstick mark on her boyfriend's lips, she hurriedly left the villa.
