Chapter Eighty-Seven: Farewell Zhen Zhen

  The two walked out of the lecture hall, Linglong curiously asked: "What kind of task is it?"

  Su Che was even more eager to know the content of the task, so he slightly urged his true energy, and his mind penetrated into the jade symbol. He immediately saw a paragraph of text, which he also read out loud to Ling Long: "The imperial court of Dashan has sent someone to report that there have been cases of evil spirits injuring people in Dongping County. Three people have already died ten days ago, and five people are still missing..."

  After finishing this passage, Su Che put away the jade symbol and said: "Just let me go to Dongping County to investigate the cause and report back to the sect in time, it's not that I must catch ghosts and demons."

  Linglong nodded and said, "Exploration-type tasks shouldn't be too difficult."

  "It's all thanks to Eldest Senior Sister's face that worked, otherwise, just this assessment by Elder Lin alone would not have gone smoothly." Su Che sincerely thanked her again.

  With a faint smile, he asked with an odd expression: "Do you know why I'm willing to help you like this?"

  Su had two or three ideas in his mind, but he shook his head wisely, indicating that he couldn't guess.

  Linglong smiled slightly and said: "When you helped me rescue Liu Yunjin, I thanked you at least a few dozen times, didn't I? What do you say, did I or not?"

  "About right." Su Che nodded.

  "So, I want you to thank me hundreds of times, and only then will my heart feel balanced. Moreover, it must be a sincere and heartfelt thanks."

  Su Che couldn't help but laugh and say: "That's a good feeling, thank you for the many times, no matter how I calculate it, I'm still making a profit..."

  Just as he was saying this, Su Che suddenly turned his head to the right and looked over, because Lao Hei had just reminded him that an uninvited guest would be descending from the sky.

  Linglong also sensed something, and as Su Che's gaze looked out of the mountain, he saw that Zhen Zhen, the true disciple of Tianwu Peak, was flying over like a celestial fairy, with her clothes fluttering in the wind.

  She was already in the middle of her foundation-building period, and under normal circumstances where she wasn't in a hurry to rush along, ordinary-speed flight didn't require any magical tools at all - relying solely on her own true yuan, she could freely roam about with ease.

  As Zhenzhen slowly descended onto the mountain path ahead, Su Che and Ling Tong knew she had come to find fault with them and hastened to greet her first: "Greetings, Senior Sister."

  After all, she was a true disciple of the sect. If she didn't show respect to her, she could even capture Linglong, an inner door disciple, on the spot and send her to the Inner Affairs Hall for reprimand and humiliation.

  "Linglong Shimei, it's been half a year since we last met, and you're getting prettier and prettier."

  Zhen Zhen first exchanged a polite phrase with Ling Long, then suddenly changed the subject and looked at Su Che, saying: "Su Shidi, I heard that you broke through to the late stage of Qi refining after just half a year of closed-door training. At first, I didn't believe it, but it seems that the facts are indeed true. You've once again surprised me."

  This Zhēnzhēn is indeed straightforward, opening the door and showing the mountain. Her words are tantamount to openly acknowledging that someone in the Xuanji Peak Spirit Grass Medicine Garden has been bought by her and can send her messages at any time. Because Su Chè advanced to the late stage of Qi cultivation, from the moment he appeared in front of Linglong until now, it hasn't even been two hours, yet Zhēnzhēn received the news so quickly, undoubtedly someone in the Spirit Grass Medicine Garden just sent her a message, and she flew to Xuanji Peak.

  Su Che replied calmly: "Half a year ago, I chose to retreat in order to avoid your anger, elder sister. Unexpectedly, it turned out that my cultivation progressed quite smoothly."

  "Anger?" Zhen Zhen chuckled lightly: "I'm not angry with you, but rather..."

  It ends here and what follows is left unspoken.

  "Linglong couldn't help but persuade: 'Sister, the matter between Zhen Lan and Big Brother is just a misunderstanding, it's really not necessary to continue entangling each other, don't you think?'"

  "Yes." Zhen Zhen nodded and said: "I don't want to see Xiao Mei and Yu Qing continue to entangle either, so I've already comforted Xiao Mei's side a long time ago."

  Overjoyed in her heart, she hastily asked: "Then Su Che..."

  Zhen Meng suddenly waved his hand and interrupted: "Su Che's affairs are between him and me, and have nothing to do with anyone else!"

  At this moment, neither Linglong, Sutong, nor Laohei noticed that Zhenzhen's vigorous hand movement was not due to emotional excitement, but rather to cover up her certain action.

  As she waved her hand, a thin silver thread emerged from the ground beneath Su Che's feet, silently and quietly piercing through the soles of his shoes and into his palm. This thread was so fine that it was almost imperceptible, even lighter than a mosquito bite, making it difficult for anyone to notice. Moreover, Zhen Zhen's hand movement and cold expression drew Su Che and Lao Hei's attention, making them even less aware of anything unusual.

  "Sister, why must it be so?" Linglong continued to persuade: "Su Che is just a small person, what qualifications does he have to offend you?"

  "He's just a small fry now, but he won't be for long." Zhen Zhen's face revealed a cold smile: "You've also seen it, at the bone age of 16, he has already reached the seventh layer of Qi training. This achievement is almost comparable to mine back then. This Su Shidi is indeed boundless in his future prospects."

  This sentence is already very heavy, anyone can hear it out, precisely because Su Che's future is boundless, Zhen Zhen wants him to die early.

  This kind of naked, bare threat is to deliberately say it out loud to make Su Che from now on be on tenterhooks, live in fear and trepidation, and suffer a kind of mental torture...

  Linglong sighed silently, and had already seen that Zhen's personality was somewhat vengeful, especially resentful towards Su Che. With just her own mouth, it would be impossible to persuade her. It seemed that in order to resolve this conflict, at the very least, the old man would have to step forward.

  Su Che, at this moment, was secretly transmitting a message to Ling Long, and comforted her in return: "Don't worry, Shifu, I'm not afraid of her. At worst, for the next few years, I'll just stay on Xuanji Peak, except for treating the spiritual grass, or else I'll be closed up in meditation, until one day I surpass her, and all problems will no longer be a problem."

  Linglong replied in a similar tone: "But you still have to go to Dongping County to complete your mission."

  "It's okay, I have a way to sneak out of the mountain gate without being discovered by anyone."

  Su Che gave a confident reply over the phone.

  In that case, Linglong didn't say anything more either.

  Just a few steps away, Zhen saw that they were secretly communicating with each other. At this moment, he looked at the young couple with great interest and suddenly laughed: "Linglong Shimei, could it be that you and Su Che have a relationship of mutual understanding? If so, I won't hold any grudges against him and let him off."

  "Huh?"

  Linglong was taken aback and immediately became angry, saying: "Sister, how can you talk nonsense like this?"

  "Oh? Isn't it?" Zhen Zhen tilted her head and smiled: "Then nothing's wrong, I'd rather hope it isn't."

  As soon as the words fell, she flew up and her white dress blocked out the sunlight, casting a shadow on Su Che. At the same time, another whispered message was sent over: "Su Shidi, you have skills, this life you will hide in Xuán Jī Peak, never come out."

  "This stinking woman!" Lao Hei cursed angrily in the immortal prison.

  Waiting for her to fly far away, Su Che said to Ling Long: "Sister, thank you for speaking on my behalf. However, Zhen Zhen is too much, how can she speak such nonsense... It's really unexpected that as a true disciple of the Xianmen sect, she speaks with such venomous words like a gossiping woman in the market."

  Linglong nodded slightly and whispered: "You still need to be more careful, I'll go back first."

  As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly walked away, apparently not wanting to return to the Lingcao Medicine Garden with Su Che.

  Watching her back gradually disappear, Su Che shook his head helplessly. It was also understandable that girls were thin-skinned and would feel extremely awkward if they mentioned that kind of thing and walked together again.

  As for Zhen's threatening words, Su Che didn't take them too seriously. He had already made up his mind to leave the mountain gate tomorrow and head to Dongping County to complete his mission. The effect of the Concealment Technique was excellent, and it was impossible for Zhen to track down his whereabouts.
