Chapter 153 Compassion
Chapter 153 Compassion
The female cultivator who was hit by the tree looked disgusted, but the male cultivator refused to give in.
"Girl, do you want to team up with me?"
"No need." The female cultivator frowned and tried to leave by walking around the male cultivator, but the male cultivator grabbed her.
"I don't want it!" The female cultivator was a little flustered, but pretended to be calm and refused again.
"Playing hard to get? Girl, don't reject me. I know you are looking forward to it."
Yan Qingshu: "F*ck, where did this guy come from?"
Lu Wensheng also felt sick of his appetite - he kept calling her "girl". He would never dare to eat duck heads again.
Liu Jiqian: "My fellow Taoist, since she said she doesn't want it anymore, you should stop forcing her."
Liu Jiqian's appearance is still very recognizable. The male cultivator was a little embarrassed and had to let go of the female cultivator first. The female cultivator breathed a sigh of relief and looked at them with gratitude.
"Ahem, Master Liu misunderstood. I was flirting with her. She said no but actually she did. Women are all like this. It's just a little hobby..."
(PS: Peers will call each other fellow Daoists, but if the status is not equal, the name will change.)
The female cultivator's breath hitched: "I'm not flirting with you!"
Yan Qingshu was furious: "When a girl says no, she means no. It's not playing hard to get, nor is it some little interest. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
(No intention to provoke gender antagonism!)
The male cultivator curled his lips, obviously not thinking so. Lu Wensheng was too lazy to waste words and stepped forward to grab the male cultivator's arm. The male cultivator whimpered, obviously in pain.
Lu Wensheng: "Do you like it?"
The male cultivator bared his teeth and said, "I don't like it, I don't like it."
Lu Wensheng: "Don't like it? Oh - I get it, you say one thing and mean another, but you actually like it, right? I know, people like you are all like this, it's just a little hobby..." This self-righteous guy just wants to give others a taste of their own medicine, and he actually does some despicable things, making it seem like their male compatriots are not normal people.
The male cultivator begged for mercy: "... Daoist friend, I know I was wrong, please let go!"
Lu Wensheng let go of the male cultivator. The male cultivator turned his arms, looked at Lu Wensheng with fear, and walked away dejectedly. The female cultivator looked grateful.
"Thank you for your help, fellow Taoists. I am Nanxing, a disciple of Piaomiao Valley."
Lu Wensheng: "Are you from the same sect? Will he take revenge on you?"
"We are from the same sect, but it's okay. I will talk to Senior Sister Xun Ruo."
Hearing the familiar name, Lu Wensheng nodded: "If there is anything, we can help."
Nanxing thanked him several times before leaving. Lu Wensheng noticed that the male cultivator had returned to the Piaomiao Valley team and seemed to be in the same team with Lin Xingzhi... It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
Back to the topic.
The fog outside the Dead City was dark and no one knew what it was made of. A few disciples from an unknown sect captured a few mortals and planned to use them to test the waters.
The lives of mortals and cultivators have never been equal. Even though Xun Ruo and the others seem to get along well and are accustomed to this situation - in fact, cultivators subconsciously cannot regard mortals as equals.
These mortals looked to be young and strong, carrying baskets filled with medicinal herbs. They were obviously captured while working in the mountains. No one knew where those disciples found them. When they saw so many "immortal masters", they were terrified, like fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
Whose son and husband are these, whose pillar of the family is this... Lu Wensheng sighed - their lives are a matter of a few words from him, and he has the power to control them.
"Wait a minute, the reason for this fog is unknown. What if it is only targeting the monks? There is no point in asking them to go in."
Of course, those people recognized the clothes of the Discipline Hall of Wenxian Sect, and with the cloud patterns embroidered on the clothes, they immediately knew who had spoken, and called out "Senior Lu" very respectfully.
Lu Wensheng introduced the experimental subject to the monk himself, and on the surface he was offering pertinent suggestions. However, only those who were familiar with him knew that he was moved by compassion.
"The loss will be much smaller if we use mortals than cultivators. Why not give it a try first?" Lin Xingzhi and others came over at some point.
Seeing Lu Wensheng talking to a mortal, Lin Xingzhi sneered and hid his disdain - he didn't know what the point of protecting these mortals was. I heard that Lu Wensheng practiced the Way of Mercilessness? He really had bad intentions.
Jiang Xiuyuan said gently, "I agree with what Junior Brother Lu said, but if we have to choose someone, who do you think is more suitable?"
Jiang Jinfeng sneered: "It doesn't matter who you choose, they are not important anyway."
The proposals made by Lin Xingzhi and Jiang Xiuyuan were more vicious than each other, especially Jiang Xiuyuan, who blatantly set a trap for Lu Wensheng and asked him to do something that would offend others. Jiang Jinfeng also agreed, which was simply putting Lu Wensheng on the fire.
It can be said that when they sang the same tune, the expressions of other disciples of the sect who were not familiar with Lu Wensheng all became strange, and an unfriendly atmosphere spread.
"Senior, this candidate..." The cultivators who had found mortals were also in a dilemma and hinted to Lu Wensheng to make the selection - after all, they were more in favor of using mortals as guinea pigs, and they did not dare to take the risk of selecting cultivators.
Knowing how to hint means knowing how to be flexible, but what is flexibility? The so-called flexibility is to transfer the risk and responsibility behind the rules to you, and you must be able to bear the consequences and responsibilities after the flexibility is passed.
So Lu Wensheng said expressionlessly: "I'll go." The system said nothing else, and there would be absolutely no problem with his own safety. It could even stabilize injuries at the level of a supreme elder, so saving his life would be a piece of cake.
Lu Wensheng also came prepared, and the system also indicated that there was no problem.
"Brother Lu/Fellow Daoist Lu?!"
The disciples of the Discipline Hall looked at Jiang Jinfeng and Jiang Xiuyuan unhappily, thinking that these two people were really evil and actually forced their senior brother! Gu Jinzhi and the others were a little worried.
"Yangming." Liu Jiqian also frowned, but did not say anything to stop him.
"I'll go with you." He gently lifted the corner of Lu Wensheng's clothes. The beauty lowered her eyes, making it difficult for him to say no.
Tang He and the others were also eager to try, looking like they were willing to risk their lives to help a gentleman.
Lu Wensheng: "Don't come, I'm fine."
Without waiting for others to reply, Lu Wensheng glanced at the several mortal men who were full of gratitude, and took a step forward decisively without hesitation. His tall figure was immediately swallowed up by the black mist.
Everyone's eyes followed him - no matter what, Lu Wensheng's courage was still admirable.
The others did not know Lu Wensheng's true intention, but Wu Feipeng, who had received Lu Wensheng's favor, was clear about it and could resonate with those mortals better. Seeing this, admiration appeared in his eyes - Senior Brother Lu was still the same, like the sun, making people want to follow him, feel his brilliance and sunshine, but they could not have any bad thoughts, they only wanted to protect this light and walk with it.
(Hehehe, I have escaped the review again!!!)
