The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 3490 You Are Not a Wanderer

Ning Hesheng went up, but nobody knew him, so nobody gave him any face, and someone challenged him in no time.

Ning Hesheng won easily; with just a few moves, his opponent was defeated by the Shadow Needle.

Because his opponent wasn't very strong, Ning Hesheng's victory seemed effortless.

Nangong Li also went up. As the Holy Son of the Tianxing Sect, he was naturally very famous. When someone in the crowd recognized him, no one went up to challenge him.

Like Dugu Feng, Nangong Li advanced directly to the second round without fighting.

After Nangong Li returned, Ning Hesheng laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Nangong has a very good reputation. You see, no one dares to come up and be your opponent."

Nangong Li laughed heartily: "This feeling is indeed quite enjoyable, but these people underestimate you. Your strength is no less than mine."

Ning Hesheng smiled and said, "There is still a gap."

Nangong Li laughed and said, "Just keep hiding it. I'll see how you'll hide it in the end."

Just then, the famous Blood Wolf Zhu Lie also entered the arena.

Zhu Lie was actually quite famous; after all, someone who could be regarded as an opponent by Nangong Li must be quite formidable. However, as soon as Zhu Lie went up, someone else rushed into the sky.

"Blood Wolf Zhu Lie, is it? Let me see your strength."

Ning Hesheng laughed and said, "Isn't Zhu Lie quite famous? Don't these people believe in evil? They don't dare to challenge you, nor do they dare to challenge Dugu Feng, but they dare to challenge Zhu Lie?"

Nangong Li curled his lips and said, "They're just bullying people. They think Zhu Lie is a rogue with no background, so they subconsciously assume he's not that powerful. Besides, he's a rogue, so it's not a big deal if you offend him."

Ning Hesheng chuckled: "That's true. It's indeed much more convenient for disciples of powerful sects to travel outside. Others will be more considerate of the sect's experts and will give way to them."

"We lone wolves are in a terrible situation. They don't give us any face at all. Everyone wants to bully us, and they might even want to kill us out of the way."

Nangong Li glanced at Ning Hesheng, his expression a half-smile: "Fellow Daoist He, things have come to this point, stop trying to fool me. I don't believe you're a wandering cultivator at all."

Ning Hesheng turned his head and asked, "Why?"

Nangong Li pointed at Lin Chen: "A free spirit wouldn't have a slave with the Starry Sky Leap Great Divine Power. Even if you're lucky, if you were a free spirit, could you protect him?"

Ning Hesheng was momentarily speechless; it wasn't easy to come up with such a reason in a short time.

Seeing Ning Hesheng's expression, Nangong Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist He, since you have no intention of telling me, I won't press you. Your background isn't really important. When making friends, what matters most is the person, don't you think?"

As the two were talking, the two in the air had already started fighting.

To be honest, the person who challenged Zhu Lie was quite strong. After all, you wouldn't dare to challenge the famous Zhu Lie if you didn't have some skill.

Zhu Lie and the other fought fiercely in the air. After a long battle, the strong challenger crashed down from the sky, his blood spraying everywhere while he was still in the air.

He lost.

Although Zhu Lie's attack didn't kill him outright, it at least took half his life away, and whether he could recover in the future was another matter entirely.

"Zhu Lie is no pushover. He's probably holding back some anger. We're all experts, so why do you all give face and not dare to challenge Nangong Li and Dugu Feng when they go up, but as soon as I come up, you all want to challenge me and even slap me in the face?"

"Am I, a casual player, destined to be bullied by you? I'll make you pay!"

Nangong Li spoke in Zhu Lie's tone, which almost made Lin Chen, who was standing behind him, laugh.

This guy is actually quite interesting.

Time passed quickly, and the first round soon came to an end. Although there were many people in the valley, most of them knew their place and were just there to see what it was like and watch the excitement.

Why insist on taking action when you can't win, and let others beat you up badly, or even beat you half to death, before you're satisfied?
Isn't that just being a jerk?

Why not just enjoy the show?
The first round ended, and the second round began immediately without pause.

The second round of battles was much more intense than the first, but people like Nangong Li and Dugu Feng still adhered to the principle that the first to strike would suffer more losses, and they would never challenge the other party to a one-on-one duel in advance, so as not to give others a chance to gain an advantage.

As the competition progressed, fewer and fewer players remained.

Lin Chen watched from the side, weighing the options in his mind.

It won't be easy for Ning Hesheng to win.

Leaving aside the other unknown powerhouses, Nangong Li, Zhu Lie, and Dugu Feng alone are enough to give Ning Hesheng a headache.

None of these three are easy to deal with!
After Ning Hesheng defeated a formidable opponent, everyone began to pay attention to him.

This guy is quiet and unassuming, but he's a tough character.

Battle after battle ensued, and as time passed, the first day quickly came to an end.

Duanmu Wen returned to the valley with his daughter, and everyone rested in the valley, preparing to continue the battle the next day.

Ning Hesheng was having tea with Nangong Li when Dugu Feng suddenly arrived.

Nangong Li chuckled and stood up: "Oh, isn't this Dugu Feng, the genius of Haiyuan Sect? What brings you here to stroll around? Are you perhaps planning to have some tea with us?"

Dugu Feng glanced at Nangong Li, then at Ning Hesheng: "Are you two friends?"

Nangong Li smiled and said, "We haven't known each other for long, but we get along very well. How about we sit down and have a cup of tea?"

"Okay!"

Dugu Feng actually sat down opposite Nangong Li and laughed, "I didn't expect that the Holy Son of the Tianxing Sect would also participate in this martial arts contest for marriage..."

Nangong Li chuckled, and the teapot beside him flew up, pouring a cup of tea for Dugu Feng.

"We're all in the same boat, so let's not talk about each other. If anyone could become a Dao Spirit in the sect, who would want to come here as a live-in son-in-law?"

Nangong Li stared at Dugu Feng: "I've heard you're doing quite well in the Haiyuan Sect..."

Dugu Feng gave a helpless smile: "Even the Holy Son of your Tianxing Sect says so, do you think I'm much better than you?"

Dugu Feng's gaze fell on Ning Hesheng's face: "What is your name, fellow Daoist? Where are you from?"

Ning Hesheng still gave his fake name, adding with a smile, "Sanren" (meaning "a recluse").

Dugu Feng smiled and said, "I don't believe it."

Ning Hesheng was slightly puzzled. Why didn't anyone believe him? Did he have the words "Qiyun Sect" written on his face?

"Why don't you believe it?"

Ning Hesheng laughed and said, "The various techniques and fighting styles you used are all a complete set, very mature and comprehensive. This doesn't seem like something a free spirit could possess..."

Ning Hesheng was speechless. How could someone possibly deduce from this that he had a sect affiliation?
Are all these people so perceptive?
Ning Hesheng bluntly stated, "We're from a small, insignificant sect, no different from any other wandering cultivator. To avoid causing trouble for the sect, I always refer to myself as a wandering cultivator..."
