Chapter 80 You'd better hold on! (Third update, more to come later)
You're kidding me!
Gao Haoguang silently recited something in his mind, but it overlapped with a voice.
He turned his head, and Lu Mingfei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but say, "Why do you always come up with such a nonsensical logic when you give someone a nickname?"
The same thing happened last time... and they even insisted on calling him a loser.
"Hmph, this is my hobby, do you have any objections?"
"cut."
Lu Mingfei could argue with him, but considering the Sanzhen School's tradition of respecting teachers, he decided not to stoop to the level of this cheap master.
After all, he had to go back to that era.
Jiang Mingzi turned her gaze away from Lu Mingfei and looked at Gao Haoguang, her tone relaxed: "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you nervous in front of the invincible patriarch and afraid to speak?"
"It's alright, this patriarch is very easy to talk to, don't be a coward..."
'
Just as he was speaking, Lu Mingfei, standing to the side, dug his fingertips tightly into the crack in the wall.
The reason for this was that, through the image of the same month, he clearly saw a black insect slowly approaching from behind his cheap master, slowly... touching his cheap master's face.
I must endure, I cannot laugh... I cannot declare victory yet.
Lu Mingfei stared intently at the black insect, his face remaining completely expressionless, silently counting down in his mind.
three.
"Oh dear, you little bug! Go away!"
Jiang Mingzi suddenly screamed, and the phantom image sprang to the other side of Tongyue Ling. Her previous leisurely expression vanished, replaced by obvious panic and fear.
That's right, this self-proclaimed "invincible" patriarch was actually extremely afraid of insects.
Gao Haoguang didn't react for a moment, just staring at Jiang Mingzi, who was at a loss on the screen. Lu Mingfei, on the other hand, finally couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!" Jiang Mingzi swatted away the flying insects and glared at Lu Mingfei.
"N-nothing...nothing." Lu Mingfei tried to keep a straight face, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips. "I just think your weakness, Master, is...quite unique."
"Don't laugh! Everyone finds insects disgusting..." Jiang Mingzi propped his chin up, arguing, "Insects are living beings too. Heaven cherishes life, and this immortal simply doesn't want to kill!"
"Okay, okay, then I'll shut up?" Lu Mingfei made a gesture of zipping up his mouth, signaling Gao Haoguang and Jiang Mingzi to continue.
Gao Haoguang, standing to the side, looked at Lu Mingfei with a hint of hesitation in his voice, "You... and Ancestor Jiang Mingzi are master and disciple?"
"I guess so?" Lu Mingfei stroked his chin, recalling that series of outrageous experiences. "After all, I was half-tricked and half-coaxed into the Three Truths Sect by Jiang Mingzi."
"Were you also tricked into coming here?"
"The same to you?"
Gao Haoguang nodded, looking somewhat helpless: "That bastard master stole my candy back then and even followed me all the way to my house, managing to persuade my parents."
"Wow, so shameless?"
Lu Mingfei immediately perked up, as if he had heard some earth-shattering gossip. He even glanced up in the direction of Tong Yueling, "This style is quite similar to yours. Is this how all the Three Truths Sect recruits disciples?"
"Hmph, so what?"
Jiang Mingzi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Since you've already joined the Three Truths Sect, this is your destiny."
Upon hearing this, on the other side of the same month...
Both Lu Mingfei and Gao Haoguang had a look of helplessness on their faces, as if they had no other choice. The Three Truths Method felt to them like... a bunch of bandits.
"What if I don't submit to fate?" Gao Haoguang asked, somewhat unconvinced.
"Do you think you can escape?" Jiang Mingzi's voice came from Tongyue Ling, her tone flat to the point of being indifferent.
The calm rhetorical question was like a stone that had hit Gao Haoguang squarely in the chest.
Can they escape?
Looking at the token of the same month in his hand, he unconsciously recalled his previous experiences—his master who fought desperately for them, the Dharma Corpse that gave no hope to others... and the boundless hatred that rose from his heart.
Gao Haoguang can neither forget nor escape.
"I..." He wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
Lu Mingfei patted his shoulder, the pressure neither too light nor too heavy. "Don't overthink it. There's no use rushing these things. There's a saying, 'There's always a way out.'" Although it sounded like self-comfort, sometimes... there really aren't many other choices besides moving forward.
He paused, looking at the same moon symbol unfolding in the air.
"Besides, the fact that this thing chose you means that you are at least a little special."
Extraordinary people always have to do extraordinary things.
Gao Haoguang looked up at him: "You seem... not afraid at all?"
"Yes, I am afraid," Lu Mingfei shrugged. "But I'm even more afraid of backing down. I've been a coward my whole life, and now that I'm finally in a new place, I have to stand up for myself."
During the same month's command, Jiang Mingzi's illusory figure listened quietly without interrupting. Only after both of them had quieted down did he speak.
"Your awareness is quite good, kid. But look at you, Gray Boy. Seeing you bunch of useless disciples like this makes me feel disheartened. The sect has so many good things, and you haven't kept a single one."
He grew angrier as he spoke, his face filled with disappointment and frustration.
"And I was even bullied by a minor supernatural corpse!"
I'd be too ashamed if word got out!
Back when I was alive, let alone minor supernatural powers, even powerful magical corpses would have to give way when they saw the Three Truths Sect's mountain gate! Now look what's happened, even some insignificant corpse brats dare to come knocking on our door!
sad!
In the eyes of those Dharma corpses, you are nothing but poultry, no, not even poultry. Poultry have room to resist, but you don't even have the power to resist. You are not even a seeker of Dharma with minor supernatural powers.
What kind of sect is this? A retirement home?!
Gao Haoguang had been listening, but as Jiang Mingzi's words became increasingly offensive, he suddenly looked up, stared at Tong Yueling, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "You... this... sissy... immortal."
The air froze instantly.
"What did you say about this immortal lord?" Jiang Mingzi stopped abruptly.
"Why....
'
Lu Mingfei, who was standing to the side, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had realized something, and turned his head to give a meaningful look.
Gao Haoguang ignored Lu Mingfei.
He continued to retort, "Hey, you effeminate immortal, don't think you can swear like that just because you saved us."
"You little brat, you actually..."
""
As he spoke, Jiang Mingzi's illusory figure suddenly fluctuated, and soft pink smoke rose around him.
The smoke grew thicker, gradually enveloping the entire phantom. When the light dissipated, the figure that appeared in the same scene was no longer the ethereal, otherworldly man from before—
Instead, she was a stunningly beautiful woman draped in light gauze and entwined with ribbons.
Her long hair, like clouds, was loosely tied up, adorned with a flower in the tress. Her brows and eyes held a hint of affection, her lips were like a touch of vermilion, and her gaze possessed a natural blend of allure and majesty. Her figure was graceful, her exquisite curves only partially concealed by a bodice; she was stunningly beautiful, yet exuded an aura of untouchable dignity.
"Knowing that this immortal lord has another female identity, you should know..."
'
The woman spoke, her voice languid, quite different from Jiang Mingzi's voice just now, yet sharing the same tone.
"When this fairy once roamed the world, countless talented men were captivated by her beauty."
"I knew it would turn out like this."
Lu Mingfei slapped his eye, looked at Jiang Mingzi in the picture, then at Gao Haoguang who looked like he was frozen in place, and sighed deeply.
Lu Mingfei could roughly guess Gao Haoguang's true intentions: it was nothing more than youthful impetuosity, wanting to retaliate after being harshly criticized.
But this also happened to touch upon a truth that even he himself was unaware of.
Lu Mingfei knew perfectly well the depths of his bastard master, Jiang Mingzi. The moment the word "sissy" came out of Gao Haoguang's mouth, Lu Mingfei realized something was wrong.
He just didn't expect that this scoundrel of a master could actually transform on the spot!
In the scene, Jiang Mingzi lightly raises her jade-like hand, her fingertips seemingly brushing against her smooth cheek. Her eyes sparkle with a hint of playfulness as she softly says to Gao Haoguang, who is clearly in a daze, "Grey...you'd better hold on."
