Simultaneous Transmigration: My Strength Comes Entirely from My Own

Page 33

No rush, I can't rush. I have more important things to do right now, so I need to suppress my curiosity.

This young Taoist priest was none other than Gong Qing, the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect, who had infiltrated the Celestial Master's Mansion and served by Tian Jinzhong's side for three years.

Gong Qing was a clever and patient man who dared to act and take responsibility. Because of his curiosity about the Jia Shen Rebellion, he went into hiding in Longhu Mountain as a novice for three years.

A keen eye can always spot important details and deduce the general outline of an event.

Although he is the acting sect leader, he rarely appears in public and has no real power to control his disciples.

He came here aiming for the position of leader of Quanxing Sect, but was not fully recognized.

His plan was launched entirely on guesswork and by his own will. He made a pledge to his comrades that they would be killed if they failed.

Even ignoring his tragic end, such a person could be considered a remarkable figure of his time.

Luke was very perceptive. Although Gong Qing only glanced at him once, and even after that glance he suppressed all his emotions, Luke still noticed and quickly took action.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Luke walked up to Gong Qing, a look of delight on his face, and began to speak.

"Oh my goodness, young Taoist priest, this is incredible!"

Gong Qing was completely bewildered, having no idea what Luke was talking about.

"Esteemed benefactor, do you know me?"

Gong Qing's bewilderment wasn't feigned; he was genuinely confused. Why would Luke approach him? Was it simply because he had glanced at him?

"Wow, that's incredible! You have a burst of spiritual light coming out from the top of your head. You know, at such a young age, you already have such strong muscles and bones. You're practically a once-in-a-century martial arts prodigy. If one day you were to open up your Ren and Du meridians, wouldn't you be able to fly to the heavens like a dragon?"

Gong Qing's lips twitched slightly. Heh, what's wrong with this man?

Does he think he's never seen a movie before?

How come you suddenly started reciting lines from Stephen Chow's movies?

Aren't you ashamed, huh?!

"Esteemed benefactor, have I also seen the movie?"

Luke said sternly, "None of that matters. What matters is that you're a genius. So, little Taoist priest, how about you come and cultivate with me?"

Gong Qing hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'm from the Celestial Master's Mansion, I still have to take care of the Grand Tutor."

Gong Qing cursed inwardly. He had finally gotten the plan this far, how could he possibly give up? What exactly did Luke want to do?

·· ·Requesting flowers··· ···

Luke clicked his tongue and said, "What a pity, what a real pity. You'll only be mediocre at the Celestial Master's Mansion. If you practiced with me, you could have made progress in less than half a month!"

Gong Qing could only chuckle.

Luke said this to tease the acting leader of the Quanxing Sect.

It has to be said that this acting leader of Quanxing is a ruthless person. As the acting leader, he should have some cultivation, but Gong Qing's Qi is pitifully low. Even if he uses the Golden Light Mantra, it can probably only provide light.

Therefore, it can be seen that when he infiltrated Longhu Mountain, he must have deliberately abandoned all his cultivation in order to prevent being seen through.

To abandon one's own cultivation just for an answer whose existence is uncertain is undoubtedly the act of a madman, with an insatiable gambling mentality.

.... ..... ....

"Brother Lu, are you saying that my Celestial Master's Mansion is burying talent?"

Just then, Zhang Lingyu, with her flowing silver hair and ethereal appearance, walked over and said indifferently.

In fact, Zhang Lingyu is very well-mannered and is polite to everyone except Zhang Chulan.

Her bad attitude towards Zhang Chulan was just due to jealousy; she was jealous that he could maintain his virginity and cultivate Yang Five Thunder.

But this is just a matter of mindset, and it doesn't mean he's inherently bad. In fact, in the world of one person, Zhang Lingyu is one of the few straightforward people. Which of the other main characters and supporting characters doesn't have eight hundred cunning schemes?

In short, Zhang Lingyu is a loner.

The reason he treated Luke this way was entirely because Zhang Lingyu saw Luke's words as an insult to Longhu Mountain.

What do you mean by "you can only be mediocre in the Celestial Master's Mansion, but you can rise to prominence by following your cultivation"?

Isn't this saying that the disciples of the Celestial Master's Mansion are incompetent?

For Zhang Lingyu, Longhu Mountain is his home. When someone says that his home is not good, this straightforward young man will naturally stand up for it.

Luke shrugged and said, "No, it's just that this young Taoist priest is not suitable to stay in Longhu Mountain. He might achieve greater success in another place. I'm doing this for his own good, and even more so for the good of Longhu Mountain."

Luke swore that his words came from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Lingyu's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "There's no need for Mr. Lu to trouble himself with that."

Zhang Lingyu's attitude changed quite noticeably from "Brother Lu" to "Mr. Lu".

However, Luke wasn't angry at all; instead, he smiled and said...

"Master Lingyu, how about we make a bet?"

Zhang Lingyu frowned and said, "Mr. Lu, you are joking. How can a monk gamble?"

Luke waved his hand and said, "Master Lingyu, you misunderstand. It's not a bet, but a possibility. I'm betting that you will agree with what I said after the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. If not, I can apologize to you in public. How about this bet?"

Zhang Lingyu frowned, but still said, "No need, no need to apologize."

Although she was very dissatisfied with what Luke had just said, Zhang Lingyu was, after all, an honest child and wouldn't embarrass others by saying "487".

Luke's eyes darted around, and he leaned close to Zhang Lingyu's ear with a mischievous grin, saying, "Master Lingyu, you don't want others to know about you and Xia He, do you?"

After saying that, Luke couldn't help but shudder. Why did he feel like his words had a slightly simplistic tone?

It turns out that I was corrupted by my other self; I used to be much more innocent.

Zhang Lingyu's pupils contracted sharply, and his hands clenched into fists. He was just a hair's breadth away from bursting out with golden light.

The matter between Zhang Lingyu and Xia He has always been the deepest secret and the biggest knot in her heart.

Even the old master didn't know this secret. It had been hidden in his heart for so long that it had almost become his inner demon.

"How did you know?"

Zhang Lingyu grabbed Luke's arm and asked through gritted teeth.

Luke smiled slightly, broke free from Zhang Lingyu's arm, and said with a smile.

"If you don't want people to know, then don't do it in the first place. There are no secrets in this world that stay hidden forever."

How do I know?

Of course, I learned it from watching anime, but I can't say it out loud, otherwise I'll either be captured and experimented on, or be considered crazy.

Zhang Lingyu was utterly dejected. Yes, there are no secrets in this world, so what was the point of hiding these things?

Ultimately, it's my own problem; I just can't get over my own internal struggles.

Luke suddenly leaned close to Zhang Lingyu's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, right now only you, me, and Xia He know about this. Nobody else knows."

Although she knew she shouldn't, Zhang Lingyu still felt a sense of relief.

However, before Zhang Lingyu could ask Luke how he knew all this, Luke shook his head and said...

“Master Lingyu, I know what you want to ask, but I swear to God, there really is nothing between me and that person.”

This time Luke didn't lower his voice, and Xia He used that person's name instead.

To be fair, if Luke had actually had something happen with Xia He, he certainly wouldn't have refused. After all, Xia He was indeed a top-tier beauty, and Luke was, after all, a man, whose orientation had always been normal.

But if it's something serious with Xia He, then I'd better not.

After all, although he had never met Xia He, the way Xia He straddled Zhang Huaiyi's mummified corpse in the original work meant that even if something happened between the two, it could only be a simple physical exchange.

Xia He is only suitable as a prop; Luke still can't accept it if it's for real.

"Alright, that's enough."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Zhang Lingyu's handsome face immediately turned bright red, and his voice became barely audible.

Luke clicked his tongue. Young people are still too thin-skinned.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Feng Baobao and Xi started fighting on the other side. This big man from Shandong, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, was no match for Feng Baobao and was easily knocked down by the expressionless Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao walked towards Xi expressionlessly, like a heartless killer.

To be honest, Xi was still very scared, because during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he was defeated by Feng Baobao in the blink of an eye before he could even use his real skills. So he was emotional and inevitably spoke rather rudely.

But who knew that Feng Baobao would attack without warning, and her ultimate move, which required charging up, couldn't be used at all.

Xi is, after all, a member of the Lu family troupe, so Luke certainly couldn't just watch him get into trouble. Besides, Luke could also tell that Feng Baobao's emotions were a bit off lately...

Although Feng Baobao seems eccentric, her emotions have always been very stable. But now Feng Baobao is clearly not normal. For the first time, Luke has felt emotional fluctuations in her.

The destructive power of an emotionally unstable Feng Baobao is self-evident.

The next moment, Luke left Zhang Lingyu's side and arrived in front of Feng Baobao. He was so fast that everyone present only saw a blur and did not notice Luke's movement.

More importantly, Luke's incredible speed was achieved without even a whiff of wind, a feat that defied the laws of physics and was utterly inconceivable.

This is an extreme control over one's own strength and a skillful way of deflecting force, making the physical phenomena of reaction force and wind resistance almost ineffective on him.

"Calm down, Feng Baobao."

Luke's gaze sharpened, and his innate Qi erupted, instantly suppressing Feng Baobao.

Feng Baobao instinctively dropped to the ground on all fours, and the tuft of hair on her head that looked like cockroach antennae stood up.

Feng Baobao had not learned any special techniques or skills. Her attack methods relied entirely on her powerful, pure Qi and her inhuman instincts. Right now, her defense mechanism was activated to the maximum.

Luke had no intention of harming Feng Baobao, because he vaguely remembered this plot: Feng Baobao fell into a state of confusion because Zhang Chulan had found his family, which led to an emotion called jealousy.

This is why Feng Baobao, who is usually emotionally stable, was provoked by Xi's two sentences. It wasn't because she was really angry, but because she wanted to vent her emotions.

"Baby, stop."

Xu San and Xu Si clearly noticed something was wrong and rushed over, each grabbing one of Feng Baobao's hands.

"Luke, she's just a silly girl, she's so simple-minded, don't take it to heart."

Xu Si smiled and stood in front of Feng Baobao, facing Luke, and explained with a grin.
