Chapter 98 The Son of Fortune Who Plots Secretly

"Boasting, saying wow!"

The strong rhythmic music and the ambiguous lyrics resounded throughout the venue again, pushing the atmosphere to a new height. This music and singing had a magical power, making the audience full of anticipation for the characters who were about to appear.

A cloud of smoke suddenly rose in the center of the platform. When the smoke dissipated, the music stopped abruptly and a tall figure appeared there.

The moment that man revealed his true face, there were bursts of screams from the female monks in the audience.

"Oh my, I knew it was Master Gu~!"

"Master Gu, I want to practice dual cultivation with you!"

"That's my future Taoist partner~~"

"Gu Changfeng! Gu Changfeng!"

……

Cheng Ziwei did not recognize the Mr. Gu on the stage, but when she saw him clearly, she couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

——He was a man who could satisfy all the fantasies of the female monk about her Taoist partner.

The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist and smooth curves. He looked to be in his early thirties. His long hair was like a waterfall in the night, reaching his waist and gleaming with a soft luster. His facial features were deep and three-dimensional, and there was a hint of unruly air between his brows.

His nose is tall and straight, giving him a noble and resolute look. His long eyebrows are like ink pens, outlining a perfect arc, adding a bit of heroism to his face.

The most attractive thing is that the corners of his mouth are slightly upturned as if smiling, exuding an unintentional unique charm.

"I was originally very curious about what kind of person could accomplish such a difficult task, but seeing that it was him didn't seem strange at all."

Cheng Ziwei couldn't help but have stars in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down. The lessons learned from the past few days taught her a very important truth - never judge a person by their appearance!
Just like that plain-looking and seemingly friendly and harmless boss Wen, Cheng Ziwei had developed some liking for him at the beginning, but now, after only catching a glimpse of his unfathomable nature, she is already horrified.

From Cheng Ziwei's perspective, Wen Rui and Gu Changfeng were in the same picture, and Wen Rui was completely overshadowed by Gu Changfeng's grace, like an insignificant supporting role, a background board to set off Gu Changfeng, and a servant serving him.

The girl couldn't help but let her imagination run wild, and she came up with a bold hypothesis: the Boss Wen she knew was a very powerful character. If he were to face off against Gu Changfeng, the most outstanding talent among the new generation of young monks, and the two had an all-round showdown, who would win in the end?

Since ancient times, evil has never triumphed over good. It seems that a gentle young man like Gu Changfeng, a leader in righteousness, may experience some conspiracies and calculations in the early stages, but after a tortuous and complicated battle and paying a certain price, he will eventually defeat the insidious and cunning evil villain, right?

As the host, Wen Rui was already familiar with the closing ceremony procedures before going on stage. Of course, he had long known that this mysterious genius who had overcome numerous obstacles and passed through the secret realm in one fell swoop was his old enemy.

When Wen Rui heard the news, he silently praised Zhang Zhenren in his heart. Old Deng seemed to have a hot temper, but in fact, it was just a disguise to paralyze his opponents. When the four major sects met in secret, Zhang Zhenren seemed to be determined to explore the secret realm, and the elders of Yunxiao Xianzong pretended to support him, but in fact, they were all singing a double act, acting for the elders of Yuding Xianzong and Jinting Xianzong!

Gu Changfeng of Zi Yang Immortal Sect has always appeared at a high-level Nascent Soul stage, but in fact he has already broken through to the Return to Void stage, and normally uses a secret method of innate camouflage to conceal his true level of cultivation.

He is the trump card of Zi Yang Immortal Sect. It doesn't matter how many mediocre disciples die. As long as the hidden treasure finally falls into the hands of Zi Yang Immortal Sect, all these sacrifices will be worth it!
Why does the Yunxiao Immortal Sect cooperate with the Ziyang Immortal Sect? You should know that Gu Changfeng’s Taoist partner Yan Ruoyan is a disciple of the Yunxiao Immortal Sect. Naturally, half of the benefits obtained by Gu Changfeng will be shared with his Taoist partner.

The Yuding Immortal Sect and the Jinting Immortal Sect foolishly supported the continuation of the secret realm exploration activities because of the low casualty rate of their disciples. Little did they know that the Ziyang Immortal Sect and the Yunxiao Immortal Sect were eyeing the final reward of the secret realm and the huge reputation of their disciples who passed the secret realm.

Zi Yang Immortal Sect arranged Gu Changfeng as the seed player to pass the level. Not only is his realm higher than the cannon fodder, but he also has many magic weapons stuffed in his bag. Yun Xiao Immortal Sect secretly provides the greatest support and instructs the disciples of the sect to give full support and then follow Zi Yang Immortal Sect to benefit from it.

This is really a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, one trap after another. The Yuding Immortal Sect is complacent about selling some high-priced medicine, and the Jinting Immortal Sect is smug about having fewer disciples die. However, they are picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons, and making wedding clothes for others.

Master Zhang's public objection gave people a feeling that he was forced into the game, but it would dispel the suspicion of the Yuding Immortal Sect and the Jinting Immortal Sect, so that they would not suspect that he had secretly cheated and violated the rules to insert a disciple in the Return to Void Realm.

It’s such a sweet kind of black, the kind where black eats black!

Fortunately, Wen Rui and this bunch of bugs were birds of a feather, eating from the same pot and getting the biggest share. Otherwise, he would have been so angry he died if he knew the truth.

Anyway, those who died were all disciples of the Chan sect, and the elders of their own sects didn't feel sorry for them. Why should Wen Rui be so sentimental? He didn't even shed a single crocodile tear.

His eyes stayed on Gu Changfeng's face. Wen Rui managed his expression well, looking happy for him and with a hint of envy hidden in his eyes.

"This remarkable hero, the genius among the young geniuses of the time, is Master Gu of the Ziyang Immortal Sect!"

Wen Rui passionately said in a voice like introducing a wrestler: "People call him the Jade-faced Young Master, as evidenced by the poem: 'The young master is unparalleled in the world, the man on the street is like jade, we cannot live together in this world, but we only wish to die together.' He is..."

At this point, Wen Rui stretched out his voice: "Gu-Chang-Feng-!"

The host's inflammatory style further ignited the atmosphere of the venue. The female monks in the audience became agitated, and there were continuous screams, shouts, and even crying. It was almost like a concert of a modern fresh meat star.

Gu Changfeng is a big star among the young generation of this era. Being handsome is just one of his insignificant advantages. His strong strength is the fundamental reason why so many female monks are attracted to him.

Gu Changfeng was also used to being pursued by female cultivators. Facing such a grand scene of star-chasing, he just smiled casually, as if standing out from the countless disciples of the four major sects and gaining the honor of passing the secret realm was just a trivial matter for him.

Wen Rui stood aside like a minion, watching him show off quietly, but his heart showed no emotion at all, and he even felt like laughing.

Gu Changfeng didn't know yet that the highlight of his life was actually part of Wen Rui's screening experiment for the son of fortune. His true nature hidden beneath the surface was once again deeply explored by Wen Rui.

It is said that knowing both yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. His enemy, whose assassination attempt had failed due to intelligence error and who was preparing to launch another assassination attempt, had a better understanding of him.
