Chapter 139 Ziwei's Life and Death Decision
Chapter 139 Ziwei's Life and Death Decision
After the class was over, the teaching materials were left for everyone to study on their own, and Wen Rui and He Lingyun returned to the luxurious suite that was specially opened for them in the underground base.
The round-faced female monk followed the two of them on tiptoe. Cheng Ziwei was not interested in the booklet at all. After all, her original intention of joining the bandit suppression alliance was just to save her senior brother Tiehanhan's life.
Arriving at the corner of the corridor in front of Wen Rui and Fairy Sister's suite, Cheng Ziwei watched with great jealousy as the two of them entered the room talking and laughing. She didn't know what they were going to do in there, and she felt extremely uncomfortable!
Such a big and clear pair of eyes, is he blind?
The good cabbages are all eaten by pigs!
I hate you so much! I am so jealous! I envy you so much!
Although she was a woman, Cheng Ziwei also felt an immense sense of loss in her heart, as sour as if she had chewed an unripe plum.
"A few stinky spirit stones are a big deal. How can I be inferior to that black-hearted profiteer?"
The girl said with hatred, but when she recalled what the black-hearted boss had done in the secret camp, her neck shrank: "Okay, I can't compare to him in many ways, but I'm kinder than him! That's right, the fairy must have been deceived by that profiteer, or threatened! It's possible that she was deceived and threatened at the same time!"
In a sense, Cheng Ziwei, who possessed some special talent, once again guessed part of the truth.
Imagining what might have happened in the room, Cheng Ziwei wanted to die. She really wanted to break into the room and stop that ugly and unscrupulous businessman from laying hands on the goddess of her dreams.
But she didn't have the strength, so she could only hide at the door and sigh helplessly.
In fact, nothing happened in the room. They had endured it for five hundred years, so why would they care about waiting a few more years? Anyway, they could eat tofu as much as they wanted now, and Wen Rui was not in a hurry to have new branches for the Wen family.
On the one hand, it is troublesome to take care of babies, especially when the babies may fly as soon as they hatch.
On the other hand, before the old hag of Mount Lishan is completely dealt with, it is better not to harm others for the sake of momentary pleasure.
Wen Rui and He Lingyun were just sitting together and chatting. The room was doubly protected by technology and magic, so there was no need to worry about being eavesdropped.
"The Misty Water Drop Sword Technique is so powerful!" He Lingyun said excitedly, "I never dared to imagine that my sword-controlling skills could reach this level."
"Haha, you are surprised by what you have never seen before." Wen Rui sneered, "You really have never seen anything good. This sword technique is just an upgraded version of the Flying Gold Sword Technique. Back then, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother had already practiced the Flying Gold Sword Technique to the extreme. With a sword of sub-light speed, the flying sword traveled 600,000 miles in one breath, across the prehistoric continent and pierced through the enemy. How fast can your sword reach in one breath? Two hundred miles?"
Pursing his lips, He Lingyun lowered his head, and was sobered up by the bucket of cold water.
"Ling Yun knows he was wrong..."
Wen Rui taught solemnly, "Even so, the Golden Spirit Mother still fell under the sneak attack of the Dinghai Pearl. It's not that she didn't react. She had already drawn her sword to pierce the pearl, but the flying sword was absorbed by the space in the Dinghai Pearl. The Dinghai Pearl is a world, and the sword speed did not exceed the speed of light, so she could not escape, so she was hit by the pearl and died!"
He Lingyun didn't know the details of the battle in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, and was shocked and said, "Such a powerful flying sword technique was actually defeated by the power of a space magic weapon?"
"This is the importance of mutual restraint in fighting. The Flying Gold Sword Technique is afraid of fire, and secondly, it is afraid of space magic weapons and supernatural powers." Wen Rui explained patiently: "After the Pure Flame breaks the Pure Gold Qi that wraps the Flying Sword, it will not be immune to the strong wind, and the speed of the sword will slow down. If the speed of the sword does not exceed the speed of light, it cannot pierce the endless space and will be trapped in the space."
He Lingyun nodded frequently, took out a small notebook and started to take notes, looking like a good and obedient student.
Seeing that the rookie was teachable, Wen Rui was very relieved and continued, "The Water Drop Sword Technique I gave you is not the final version. In the future, I will compile the 'Ethereal Water Drop Sword Technique 2.0' to upgrade this sword technique, adding high-tech technologies such as 'gravitational bubble', 'negative energy', 'curvature acceleration', 'transition' and 'cross-dimension'. By then, neither space nor flames will be able to stop that fatal stab!"
"Can the swordsmanship be upgraded? It sounds like after the upgrade one can instantly cross the endless space?" He Lingyun's eyes lit up when she heard this. Although she didn't quite understand the terms her senior brother said, she knew it must be something very powerful.
"Of course, all technologies should be constantly upgraded, whether it's martial arts or swordsmanship. If they are not upgraded, they will sooner or later be eliminated by the ever-improving times."
Wen Rui said seriously: "You need to change your mindset. When we, Jiejiao, explore the laws of heaven, we must constantly learn new things and make continuous progress. This is called 'keeping pace with the times'. You should remember this well."
"Keep pace with the times? I'll remember it! This phrase is absolutely amazing. A cultivator should keep pace with the times, constantly surpassing his past self, surpassing his master, surpassing his grandmaster, surpassing the saint... In short, surpass the times!"
He Lingyun nodded heavily, imprinting the word deeply in his mind.
"However, you have made great progress. At least you no longer hesitate when I ask you to kill someone."
We can't just criticize and make empty promises. Wen Rui praised appropriately: "That's right, keep it up next time."
"Well... okay." Faced with the compliment, He Lingyun made a bitter face and did not seem very happy.
As the two were chatting, there was a knock on the door. He Lingyun took out the glass sword and went to open the door with full vigilance.
Although her position is the sect master's assistant and personal secretary, she also works part-time as a bodyguard. Wen Rui's actual combat capability becomes stronger the closer he is to the Jinling Sect's lair. With the use of nanorobots, he can simulate the magical powers of moving mountains and seas. Without enough nanorobots, he will be powerless.
The one knocking on the door was Gu Changfeng. He sneaked in and fell to his knees as soon as he saw Wen Rui.
"Master, there were so many people outside just now, I was disrespectful, so I kneel down to you!" Wen Rui sat in the boss chair, accepted his kneeling, nodded and said: "Well, good dog, you have behaved well recently, I will reward you with a dog food."
Gu Changfeng cried with joy and shook his butt for a long time before he came to his senses.
"There is a human monk named Li Yu in the alliance. You should make friends with him and listen to his opinions. He has great potential and can be cultivated." Wen Rui ordered: "If he makes contributions in the future, he will be promoted to an important position in the alliance. Do you understand?"
"Agou obeys the command of the great master whose wisdom is as vast as the sea of smoke!"
"get out!"
Gu Changfeng rolled out, shaking his butt.
"Junior sister, my shoulders are a little sore, please rub them for me." After sending Gu Changfeng away, Wen Rui leaned back in the boss chair and gave orders to the secretary.
He Lingyun walked behind him with a smile and began to rub his shoulders gently.
There was another knock on the door. He Lingyun opened the door cautiously like last time, but Cheng Ziwei was standing at the door.
"Uh, I... I just came here to thank my sister for saving my life. By the way, I want to visit Boss Wen."
Seeing that it was her dream lover who opened the door, Cheng Ziwei was so nervous that she couldn't speak fluently and spoke uncomfortably.
He Lingyun had no intention of letting her in and remained vigilant.
"Let her in."
After Wen Rui spoke, He Lingyun made way for the tall figure and let the petite Cheng Ziwei in.
Cheng Ziwei walked in and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them were dressed neatly.
Without waiting for Wen Rui's instructions, He Lingyun went to the tea table nearby and brewed two cups of tea using standard Kung Fu tea making techniques. He silently brought them on a tray, then went back to Wen Rui to rub his shoulders.
Seeing that the perfect goddess in her heart was actually serving her former boss who was suspected to be bankrupt like a maid, Cheng Ziwei felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife and felt deeply sorry for her.
Wen Rui didn't have any psychological burden about ordering He Lingyun around. He was the one who paid him a salary. Isn't that what a secretary does? Although the salary was only 1000 spirit stones per month, which was the lowest of the low, that was the market price in Lishan.
"Xiao Wei, why are you staring at my secretary?" Wen Rui couldn't help but ask when he saw her staring at He Lingyun as soon as she entered the room without saying anything for a long time.
"Uh, Boss Wen, I'm here to thank Fairy Lingyun for saving my life." Cheng Ziwei said with a red face, "If it weren't for the fairy's help, my brother and I would have already drunk Mengpo soup and walked across the Naihe Bridge."
With Wen Rui's instruction, He Lingyun maintained her aloof personality and didn't talk to anyone. When someone approached within two meters of her, the Glazed Flying Sword would automatically rise into the air, with the tip of the sword pointing far away, scaring away a group of people who were brave enough to strike up a conversation.
This aloof image applies to both men and women. Even Cheng Ziwei cannot get close to him to talk. She can only muster up the courage to find Wen Rui and take the opportunity to make friends with He Lingyun.
Cheng Ziwei also knew that she was a girl and should not have such feelings for another female creature, but she could no longer control herself. It was as if she was possessed by an evil spirit or a poison. She pounced on it like a moth and was willing to be burned to ashes.
I only hope that the last ray of light that blooms before turning into ashes can attract an inadvertent glance from the fairy.
"It's just a small favor. After all, I know you two well. I can't just watch you die in front of me."
Wen Rui calmly accepted the gratitude on behalf of He Lingyun, while He Lingyun continued to maintain his aloof personality and didn't even look at Cheng Ziwei.
Cheng Ziwei gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great determination, and said in a mysterious way: "Boss Wen, you planned all this, right? Including that Gu Changfeng, I saw him rolling out of your room. There must be something fishy about the whole thing!"
Wen Rui's face darkened and he winked at He Lingyun. In an instant, the glazed flying sword was placed on Cheng Ziwei's pink neck.
The female monk from Qingcheng Mountain suddenly felt a chilling murderous intent spreading in the room, and the source of the murderous aura was none other than the Crane Fairy whom she had been thinking about all the time.
"Being killed by her makes my life worth it..." This was the only thought left in Cheng Ziwei's mind.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, why don't you learn your lesson?" Wen Rui rubbed his temple in distress. "You have seen things you shouldn't have seen and thought about things you shouldn't have thought about. Now you only have two options. One is to commit suicide by getting hit by seven flying swords in the back, and the other is to take a vow of inner demon and defect to Jiejiao and join our Jinling Sect."
