Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 453 - 289 Lu Ning Equals Taisui_2

"Sister Qi, can I practice this thing?" Chen Qin asked after receiving the scroll.

She had seen Zhang Ze and Li Yueqi use this move that day, and only thought it was incredibly cool, prompting her inquiry.

However, when Li Yueqi heard Chen Qin’s words, she frowned. It wasn’t a refusal, more so she was undecided.

"To be honest, I don’t know, because when I asked Grandpa if this could be taught outside, the old man just said two words to me."

"Which two words?"

"Whatever."

Chen Qin pondered those two words before stuffing the scroll back into Zhang Ze’s hands, "I won’t learn it, you keep it yourself."

"Why?" Zhang Ze asked.

"Usually, things that are ’whatever’ are the most troublesome."

"Like when you ask me what to eat for dinner, and I say ’whatever’, how would you feel?" Chen Qin asked.

Zhang Ze thought about it and only felt it was troublesome, "Then I won’t eat, I’ll starve."

"Right?" Chen Qin shrugged.

Junior Sister stopped thinking about the scroll and instead turned her attention to the stack of oranges in front of her.

She was tired of eating these, unless Zhang Ze personally peeled them and fed her, she didn’t want to eat a bite.

Just as she was at a loss, she looked up to see Li running in.

Seeing Li, Junior Sister beamed with joy and, without waiting for Li to speak, yanked him over and swept all the oranges on the table into his mouth.

"Don’t ask, just eat."

Once Li gobbled up the excess oranges like a glutton, he turned to Zhang Ze and said, "That Senior Sister Lu is looking for you."

"Lu Ning? Well, let her in then." Zhang Ze casually said, not paying much mind.

...

Lu Ning was led by Li, passing the shadowed wall, but she paused for a moment upon seeing the number of people in the room. Nonetheless, she masked it well and no one noticed.

Once inside, Lu Ning remained silent for a long while before speaking, "Could I borrow that branch?"

"Eh?"

"Here’s the thing, I’ve recently encountered a bottleneck, and I heard this branch can help one attain enlightenment, make the mind clear, so I wanted to give it a try."

Lu Ning explained softly, appearing just like a normal person.

Zhang Ze took out the branch and placed it on the table, pondering, but ultimately pushed it in front of Lu Ning. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"This thing isn’t as miraculous as the rumors say. That Cultivator Xu’s breakthrough was entirely due to his own effort."

"Getting hit by this branch is probably akin to eating a peppermint candy, maybe not even as effective as your Celestial Sect’s Ice Heart Spell, but if Senior Sister Lu wants to use it, go ahead."

"I appreciate it." Lu Ning said softly.

Truth be told, Lu Ning felt disappointed.

Of course, the best result would have been for Zhang Ze to personally whip her, but unfortunately, with so many people in the room now, that request couldn’t be made.

However, just having the branch is fine as well, since it has been held by Zhang Ze...

Just as Lu Ning was about to grab the branch and leave, Li Yueqi, sitting nearby, suddenly spoke, "Regarding breakthroughs, one must keep a calm mind, wielding this branch... Divine Sword might distract you. So let me do it."

"Ah, well... okay then."

Li Yueqi’s proposal was reasonable.

Lu Ning couldn’t refuse.

The Female Hero Li lowered her eyelids, pretending to be normal, but she was actually thinking about the image of her whipping Taisui with the branch.

She didn’t know why, but every time she saw Lu Ning, she felt like she was looking at Taisui.

Hidden in the dark, damp, sticky, and chubby.

With their own motives, the two left, and Zhang Ze continued preparing the entry effects Junior Sister wanted.

Without the hustle and bustle, the two of them quieted down instead, Junior Sister lying on the table, tilted her head, watching Zhang Ze without blinking.

For a moment, the only sound in the room was the clicking of the mechanisms.

——A little branch spanking divider——

Over at the Qinghe Association.

The residence of Xiao Teng, the eldest son of Hundred Demons Sect.

Mr. Xiao looked at the pile of oranges before him, as if seeing his life.

Though unrelated, they would eventually rot.

He didn’t come to Qinghe Association to eat oranges, but to make a name for himself.

But... why did it turn out like this!

In Xiao Teng’s vision, he would pass each round with ease at the Qinghe Association, stepping on the heads of the Six Sects’ geniuses all the way to the top, and finally, under everyone’s gaze, accomplish the grand mission of the Hundred Demons Sect, becoming the true child of destiny.

But the problem is, no one even knows him now!

Xiao Teng’s luck was both good and bad. Every opponent he met was strong, and he never lost.

Yet not a single match left an impression on anyone.

After several days, in the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Teng seemed as if he was just there to make up the numbers.

In the first match, he faced a fool from Pan Sect who practiced the Stone Breath Technique.

The principle of the Pan Sect is as long as you are alive, you have everything, so as long as you are useless enough, nobody will bother with you.

Everyone in the sect is basically a turtle-shell king of health preservation, with an innate secluded Saint Body.

Motionless, they close their eyes and open them, ten years pass by like drinking soup, it’s unclear what purpose they serve in living.

Even those in the Hundred Demons Sect find this group absurd. They will avoid causing trouble for them to avoid being infected by these rock-hard fools.

And the one who sparred with Xiao Teng was the outstanding disciple among this generation of Pan Sect.

A Holy Son among turtles, the king of kings among turtle kings.

The match lasted a full two-hour period, until the spectators left from exhaustion, before Xiao Teng, without revealing his trump card, cracked open this man’s turtle shell-like layers of defense, like layers of winter cotton pants over autumn trousers.

To be honest, really wanted to just finish him off on the spot.

But this Pan Sect disciple surrendered the moment his turtle shell showed signs of loosening.
