Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 1044 Little Ding, you don't want to fall too far behind Ru Hu, do you?

Lu Jin watched as someone opened the "Reverse Life Mystic Gate" that he had longed for for most of his life, and his feelings were a mixture of emotions.

After a long while, he said with a hint of resentment, "Senior brother, if I had known you could so easily lead people to open the Xuanmen, I would have asked you to help me back then."

"I want to help you, but you won't let me, will you?"

He Songling spread his hands: "Where is your stubbornness from the prestigious Lu family? Where is your unyielding nature? Where is your flawless life? You old Lu are formidable! You believe the poor don't accept charity. I really have no way to deal with you."

"Well, then, I'm just waiting for someone who understands me, someone who can see through my stubbornness and bravado, to solve the difficulties I'm facing." Lu Jin, being the old woman she always was, pouted and spread her hands like an old lady in an idol drama, saying, "I didn't expect that someone wouldn't see through it."

"Get out of here."

He Songling was so disgusted by Lu Jin that he almost vomited up his dinner from the night before. "Besides, do you really think I can just let you open it whenever I want? I only modified Xiao Ding's aptitude. How he comprehended the method to become an immortal is still his own achievement."

As for why I won't reform you, that's even easier to say. Little Ding is my apprentice, so as his master, of course I have to manage him; you're the prison warden's apprentice, so if you're so capable, go find the prison warden to reform you.”

"Forget it. My master isn't even at that level yet, and you expect him to revise it for me?"

Lu Jin was just joking. To be honest, Lu Jin, whose sect hadn't been destroyed, was much more endearing and funny than the old man in the original story. He looked at Ding Shian with satisfaction and sighed, "If Master could see that our Third Brother has such a talented person in the next generation, he would be very happy."

"Give me a break, your master would be furious just looking at the state of your schools over the past seventy years." He Songling wasn't one to set the mood for others, and he didn't hesitate to stab Lu Jin in the back.

"Let's not even talk about the people you've trained. What about you yourself? Let me tell you this: it's only because I haven't been around all these years that I've been able to disband Trinity University."

"I don't care about you. It's good for me to continue being the head of the Sanyi Sect. Anyway, my senior uncles and brothers are not as good as me, not even Senior Brother Chengzhen. I'll just be the head of the Sanyi Sect."

Lu Jin spread his hands, looking at Ding Shian who had already begun to finish his practice, and couldn't help but sigh, "Oh my, that's good. Everyone followed your call and didn't take on any personal disciples. Now I'm a senior uncle. I never thought I'd have such a capable junior nephew. Now I understand how our senior uncle viewed you back then."

"You don't know anything! This kid is nowhere near as talented as me!" He Songling retorted indignantly.

Lu Jin snorted, "That's right, but Xiao Ding is much more popular than you. His character is well-known in the industry. Even after joining Quanxing, not many people treat him like a member of Quanxing. What about you? Quanxing is almost joining you."

"Hey Lao Lu, you want another beating, don't you?" He Songling waved his hand at Ding Shian, who was just waking up, and said, "Disciple, beat up this old Bi Deng!"

"Oh? That's not a good idea." Ding Shian knew that Lu Jin was He Songling's junior brother, which meant that he was his senior uncle. In particular, the old man had been quite kind-hearted before, not only by providing guidance on the way they traveled together, but also by visiting him earlier to seek his advice.

Ding Shian even felt a little regretful at that time that he hadn't gotten into Trinity University earlier. Later, when he became more capable and wanted to apply for Lu Jin's graduate program, Lu Jin had already semi-retired and stopped accepting students.

Although Ding Shian has now found a better teacher than Lu Jin, Lu Jin is still an elder no matter which way you look at it, so how could he lay a hand on him?

"Look, look! This is the biggest reason why Xiao Ding is more popular than you—because he's kind!" Lu Jin clapped her hands in agreement.

"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't beat him up, I'll twist your head off." He Songling threatened Ding Shian, then offered another excuse: "Look, Old Lu is practically your senior uncle. What's wrong with an elder giving pointers to a junior or sparring with him? Little Ding, you've never beaten Lu Jin before, have you? You always get beaten up and taught a lesson when you run into him, right? Didn't you get envious when you saw Ru Hu beating up Lu Jin? Tell me, weren't you envious?"

He Songling's words tempted Ding Shian like a devil, and when Ding Shian looked at Lu Jin again, his eyes were clearly not right.

"Hey! Xiao Ding, what are you doing?!"

Lu Jinzhen truly lived up to his reputation as a master of the late stage of the third level. In the original work, apart from Zhang Zhiwei, he could be said to be someone who could completely dominate the world, and his combat awareness was also quite rich.

He didn't even follow the confirmation process. Seeing that Ding Shian's eyes were not right, he questioned her while his body transformed into Qi and soared into the air. He was flying in mid-air and planned to use sword energy and magic to remotely block Ding Shian.

He had always played like this against Ruhu. Although he lost more often than he won, it always had a surprising effect in the early stages.

"Old Lu, are you getting senile?" But He Songling, watching from below, laughed at the sky.

"call!"

A gust of wind swept through, and Ding Shian's body turned white. Then, like wisps of smoke rising from a chimney, a plume of white smoke shot straight into the sky. The physical body below became increasingly faint, while the human figure that condensed in mid-air became increasingly dense, until it too condensed into a Qi-transformed Ding Shian.

"Okay."

Lu Jin then realized that he hadn't considered things thoroughly. Ding Shian and Na Ruhu had always been known as a pair. Although in this historical context they weren't called two heroes anymore, everyone still recognized their status as "unrivaled under a hundred years old." Their relationship was also very close.

This led Lu Jin to subconsciously want to use the same methods to deal with Ding Shian as Ru Hu. However, he forgot that Ding Shian was now a formal disciple of He Songling, and he had just witnessed Ding Shian opening the third level of the Reverse Life Mystic Gate below.

He relies on his triple ability to fly, so why can't Ding Shian do the same?

Lu Jin hasn't even been able to open the Xuanmen yet!
"Fine, I'll see how much stronger your third level of Xuanmen is than mine."

At this point, Lu Jin's interest was piqued.

Seeing Ding Shian open the Xuan Gate, he knew that he was probably no match for his junior disciple. The results of He Songling's teaching of these already strong individuals were obvious to all. In recent days, they had been defeated by Ru Hu more and more often. Lu Jin had not won a single match, and even a draw was difficult for him.

If even a tiger can be like this, let alone Ding Shian, who has been learning from He Songling for countless years in the Time Chamber.

But Lu Jin was also a proud person, and he wanted to see exactly where the gap was between himself and his senior brother.

He then waved his hand, and a huge wave of Qi surged toward Ding Shian.
