Chapter 81 Ghost Stories

Chapter 81 Ghost Stories

What a brilliant understanding!

[Originally a good man who was poor but had high aspirations, he was turned into a stingy man by Luo Buqi.]

Those female cultivators, knowing the truth, probably all wanted to cry.

Lou Yuqing couldn't stand it anymore.

Everyone nodded: Who can argue with that?

The underlings all lowered their heads; they simply didn't have the courage to look everyone in the eye at something so shameful.

I should have advised Senior Brother Luo earlier.

However, on the other hand, they are subordinates and it's not appropriate for them to interfere in such matters, lest Senior Brother Luo think they have ulterior motives, which would be a huge injustice.

Looking at the teasing glances cast at him, both overt and covert, Luo Buqi's face changed like a spilled palette, displaying a rainbow of colors.

Gu Qinghong noticed something was wrong and frowned slightly.

He had felt that the two were faking their fight before, and now it was even more obvious. Luo Buqi suddenly froze on the spot, and Tan Sheng did not press his advantage.

What's going on?

Seeing this, Xiao Siwen asked, "Brother Qinghong, what's wrong?"

Gu Qinghong replied dismissively, "It's nothing." Explaining this to her would be pointless, so it was better to keep quiet and save herself the trouble of explaining.

On the other side, in a corner of the audience, Shen Lijun stared at Gu Qinghong and let out a disdainful snort: "You both have partners, how come you don't know how to keep your distance from other female cultivators?"

Shen Lijun made no attempt to conceal himself, and Gu Qinghong immediately caught the intense gaze. Seeing that it was from an unfamiliar male disciple, he felt somewhat bewildered.

The way this person looks at him suggests they have ill intentions.

Gu Qinghong was no pushover. She glared at Shen Lijun and then continued watching the competition with Xiao Siwen.

Shen Lijun pouted, wanting to punch the other person, but after working so many errands, he finally got a day off to participate in the Seven Sects Competition, and he didn't want to miss it.

Gu Qinghong has caught Qiu Yan's attention because of his good looks. He needs to keep a close eye on him and find some leverage to expose his true colors to Qiu Yan, so that she will give up the idea of ​​using him as a stand-in.

Meanwhile, on the dueling platform.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing Luo Buqi take out the communication jade slip, Tan Sheng quickly stopped him with a telepathic message: "You can't contact your parents now, and it will only arouse suspicion from Fellow Daoist Lou. It's better to wait until later to verify."

He was now completely convinced of Lou Yuqing's true feelings; this extraordinary power had truly shattered his understanding.

Luo Buqi hesitated for a moment, then realized that what he said made sense, so he gave up the plan. However, his heart was stirred by Lou Yuqing's words.

Have I been misunderstanding things all these years?

For a moment, Luo Buqi was at a loss.

"Clang!"

Just then, the sound of weapons clashing rang out.

Luo Buqi woke up with a start and looked up to see that the shield made of golden swords had been pierced by a yellow spear, emitting a whistling sound as if it was about to disintegrate.

At the other end of the spear, Tan Sheng, his hands forming a hand seal, calmly looked at him: "The matter you were testing has yielded results. It's time to go all out and decide the victor!"

Luo Buqi: "..."

Being stingy until the very end is not a good thing.

Luo Buqi slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, gathered his chaotic thoughts, and focused his mind, saying, "Come on!" For him, face was important, and so was the competition.

The sounds of magic clashing on the dueling platform intensified once again.

Gu Qinghong thought to himself: This is the right way to hit him.

The disciples, still lost in their own world, suddenly snapped out of their reverie and began watching the battle with great interest. It must be said, although Luo Buqi's views on love were a bit eccentric, his strength was indeed formidable.

Tan Sheng, as the opponent, was also quite strong. The fighting level of the two was definitely above the average level of the Seven Sects Alliance, providing a wonderful visual experience for everyone.

However, the competition was thrown into turmoil again when Lou Yuqing's inner thoughts were revealed.

Why did Luo Buqi fall in love with Wu Fengshu?

[His previous true loves were all innocent and pure types, completely different from a bright and assertive beauty like Wu Fengshu. How did he suddenly change his criteria for choosing a partner?]

The image on the screen suddenly switched to a five-grid layout, with different female cultivators appearing in each grid. They were none other than Luo Buqi's various partners.

Without exception, everyone's appearance belongs to the same style!

Si Nidie raised an eyebrow: Something's strange.

People's aesthetic sense doesn't change easily; it either takes a gradual process or they encounter something profound.

Ling Yunxiao subconsciously looked at Luo Buqi and found that the other party did not have a particularly big reaction, looking calm and composed. However, he had a feeling that there must be some story behind it.

Tan Sheng frowned, his eyes immediately turning cold. His spells against Luo Buqi became even more ferocious. In this battle, he had to thwart Luo Buqi's delusions about Shu'er!

Luo Buqi was initially holding his ground with ease and was about to unleash a powerful magical weapon when he was suddenly blocked by Tan Sheng's relentless barrage of attacks, losing his chance.

With a thought, he abandoned his hopes on the magical artifact and instead channeled his spiritual power into his eyes. In an instant, his black eyes became even darker, as if they had absorbed the purest black in the world, making those who saw them shudder.

Is this a pupil technique?!

Tan Sheng knew something was wrong and immediately closed his eyes. But it was too late. Halfway through closing his eyes, he saw the surrounding scene change, and he found himself in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

At that very moment.

[It is said that when cultivators with similar physiques cultivate together, their cultivation speed can be increased by at least 100%.]

Luo Buqi possesses the Illusionary Eyes, while Wu Fengshu possesses the Thousand Illusions Body. Both of them happen to have illusionary physiques, so Luo Buqi thought of...

What are you thinking? Dual cultivation, is that it?

Everyone looked at each other, never expecting this reason. Saying that liking Wu Fengshu's appearance was better than dual cultivation revealed too much utilitarianism. Wu Fengshu, a proud woman of heaven, would definitely not tolerate this.

As everyone expected.

Wu Fengshu's pretty face was filled with murderous intent. Her sharp gaze fell on Luo Buqi, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces before she could feel satisfied.

This man is so despicable, he actually lusts after her body!

Luo Buqi remained calm. What was wrong with dual cultivation? It was clearly something that could improve one's cultivation level. Wu Fengshu had no reason to refuse. He wasn't trying to replenish his yang energy through yin-yang cultivation. Both of them could benefit greatly from it.

If he hadn't been heartbroken by those women, he wouldn't have realized that blindly pursuing true love is not advisable, and nothing is more important than cultivation!

Unfortunately, Wu Fengshu remained indifferent to him, even resistant, which greatly annoyed him. He then intensified his efforts to corner Wu Fengshu, hoping to win her favor.

When he emerged from seclusion, someone else had already taken his place.

[Hehe, dual cultivation my foot!]

[You two aren't even a couple, and to put it another way, you're still pursuing her and haven't even won her over, yet you're already having these kinds of ideas. You're really shameless.]

Lou Yuqing was speechless at Luo Buqi's idea.

Fortunately, she didn't see on the gossip panel that Luo Buqi intended to use any underhanded tactics against Wu Fengshu, otherwise she wouldn't have just been verbally abusing him.

Everyone glanced at Luo Buqi furtively.

Luo Buqi: "..."

He's a gentleman, okay? Don't think of him as a dark and wicked person. He would never force a woman. Besides, which of his partners wasn't attracted by his charm?

Brothers: They can be our witnesses.

Aside from being arrogant, obsessed with saving face, and lacking emotional intelligence, Senior Brother Luo actually has quite a few strengths, such as being incredibly capable, loyal, and generous (depending on the person)...

In conclusion, Senior Brother Luo has a pretty good reputation within the sect.

Otherwise, no female disciple would have been so captivated by his appearance and eager to become Senior Brother Luo's partner.

However, Senior Brother Luo is the type that can be admired from afar but not up close. Without a strong heart, one simply cannot persevere. His followers went through several rounds of selection before being able to stay by his side.

The secret is just a few words: praise, praise, praise as much as you can!

Anyway, they praised whatever Senior Brother Luo wanted to hear.

However, the idea of ​​dual cultivation was indeed a bit unethical. They originally thought that Senior Brother Luo asked them to intercept Wu Fengshu because he had found true love, since he had never been so proactive before.

Luo Buqi was completely unaware that his underlings' stance had changed.

On the other side, Tan Sheng felt his blood rushing to the top of his head, bit his tongue until it bled, and spat out a mouthful of blood, breaking free from Luo Buqi's illusion space.

He is now extremely angry, yet extremely calm.

It was like a fireball that had been brewing for a long time, ready to explode at any moment.

Faced with the impending counterattack, Luo Buqi remained calm and unleashed his ultimate move, the Illusory Eye. Although Tan Sheng appeared unharmed, he had already been hit by it, only temporarily escaping.

As long as I increase my spiritual power output, even if Tan Sheng has heaven-defying abilities, he will only be trapped in my illusion, exhausting his spiritual power and losing.

Luo Buqi raised his chin: "You're doomed to lose!"

You're the loser!

Tan Sheng raised his hand and grasped at the air, and a small wooden figure immediately appeared in his hand.

What's chilling is that the little man has no facial features, and his entire body is covered with eerie runes that keep flowing around him.

Is this some kind of voodoo doll?!

From Luo Buqi using his Illusory Eyes, to Lou Yuqing pointing out Luo Buqi's intention to engage in dual cultivation, and finally to Tan Sheng's suspected use of witchcraft.

It has to be said that this development caught many people off guard.

But amidst the uproar, they all chose to retreat, for they had a natural fear of such unorthodox magic.

When Wu Fengshu saw Tan Sheng's actions, her anger faltered. Tan Sheng had told her about his background, including mentioning things like witchcraft and sorcery.

Although it is said to be able to kill people from thousands of miles away without them even noticing, it requires obtaining objects such as the target's hair or blood as a medium for casting the spell, and also requires a series of preparations.

If Tan Sheng wants to successfully perform the spell on the spot, the probability is very low, and he may even suffer a backlash.

Wu Fengshu shouted towards the dueling platform, "Tan Sheng, don't be impulsive!"

Tan Sheng seemed not to hear, staring fixedly ahead.

Suddenly realizing something was wrong, everyone stared intently, only to see Luo Buqi frozen in place, a look of horror on his face: "You're a wizard from the Southern Frontier?"

"No," Tan Sheng denied, "I am a Gu Master."

These words were spoken.

Luo Buqi stared blankly, looking as if he had lost his mind.

Everyone: "..." What's wrong?

Tan Sheng pursed his lips, feeling somewhat uneasy. He was about to vent his anger when his opponent suddenly acted foolishly. What kind of situation was this?

Wu Fengshu asked skeptically, without mincing words, "Is he just pretending?"

Haha, no, I'm just scared.

When Luo Buqi was a child, he would refuse to sleep. In addition to telling him love stories, his mother would also tell him ghost stories. The villains in these stories were always sorcerers from the southern border, which would terrify Luo Buqi and leave him with an indelible shadow.

Amid Lou Yuqing's laughter.

Silence fell upon everyone once again.
