Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other

Chapter 955 Coach, I want to cultivate immortality!
Zhuge Qing's face was a little pale. From He Songling's words, he seemed to understand the painful expression on his father's face when his mother wanted to sleep in the same room at night.

But there was no other way. Fu Rong had already leaned on him with a look of deep affection on her face. Were we supposed to say that we shouldn't consider this dual cultivation method?

He Songling added insult to injury: "Don't worry, it won't steal your energy. On the contrary, the innate Qi will circulate in your body, which will be very beneficial to your meridians. However, you'll have to put in some effort. After all, the young lady's cultivation depends on you. If Fu Rong's sword qi progresses slowly in the future, it will be because you haven't worked hard enough!"

Zhuge Qing felt like dying. What did he mean by saying that her slow progress was because I hadn't worked hard enough? Was dual cultivation the only cultivation method in this world?!

"He brought it on himself, he deserved it." Feng Shayan concluded for Zhuge Qing, who was lying on the ground.

"Let me tell you, Fu Rong, don't try to understand my sword energy with your previous mindset," He Songling added after thinking for a moment.

"It can cut through anything, not just physical objects or qi in front of you. It can cut through things like Gu worms and poisons, and even the Dan Shi technique of the Tang Clan. As for other wonderful uses, Zhuge Qing, you should teach her more. In short, it's all about testing your imagination."

"No problem," Zhuge Qing agreed readily. Developing their imaginations together would be much easier than cultivating together, right?
"that……"

A soft voice came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Old White Hair with an awkward expression.

"What are you doing?" Xia He instinctively tried to press his head back down.

"Yes, what are you doing?" He Songling also looked at Zhang Lingyu.

"Ling, Brother Ling, can I... learn from him too..."

This was a decision Zhang Lingyu had thought about for a long time. Seeing that everyone around him had surpassed him, the former tenth-ranked master of the Celestial Master's Mansion and a high-ranking martial artist of Longhu Mountain had now become a marginal figure from which he could not get involved, which made Zhang Lingyu very frustrated.

Of course, Zhang Lingyu wasn't the kind of person who would go against his principles just to keep up with others' strength and realm. Although his principles seemed ridiculous, Zhang Lingyu had indeed adhered to them quite well.

What truly made him decide was Xia He. He was now someone with a partner, although they weren't married yet. But Zhang Lingyu's second encounter with Xia He, a relationship that was half forced by He Songling and half by Xia He, made Zhang Lingyu feel that he had a responsibility to protect Xia He.

This is similar to the original story, where when the Celestial Master descended the mountain, everyone was pushing the Quanxing Sect down, but Zhang Lingyu went down to Longhu Mountain to help Xia He, the Quanxing demoness, fight for the righteous path. This old white-haired man always felt he should protect his woman. But now he can't protect her, so what to do? The answer is right in front of him: learn from He Songling.

The other reason is He Songling. Whether you call it a subtle influence or something else, in the original work, even after he was driven down the mountain and then recruited by Zhang Chulan, Zhang Chulan was able to influence Zhang Lingyu's choice, making him choose to jump down from the tree to apologize to his master and admit his feelings. Not to mention He Songling.

Compared to Zhang Chulan, He Songling has a huge advantage: he is also an old man and knows old men of Zhang Zhiwei's generation, and they are even close friends.

Along the way, from his master Zhang Zhiwei on Longhu Mountain, to Song Mian, Zhou Sheng and Sanfeng on Wudang Mountain, to Zhuge Yuan mentioned by Zhuge Qing in the capital, to the Feng family of the World Society, to Ma Benzai of the Ma Xianhong lineage, He Songling seemed to be omnipotent and had connections with everyone.

Since he has such a deep relationship with his master, and his master personally entrusted him to him, can we say that his decision is his master's decision?
Zhang Lingyu was making excuses for himself, and he admitted it. But, as the old saying goes, on one hand, he wanted to protect Xia He, but on the other hand, hanging out with shady characters like He Songling and Xia He every day would still have an impact. So what if he made excuses? This Daoist Master made excuses!
Zhang Lingyu would occasionally say this arrogantly in his mind.

So he took this opportunity to speak out today.

Coach, I want to cultivate immortality!
"Old Zhang, Old Zhang!" He Songling was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and he forced Zhang Zhiwei to connect to the video call in the middle of the night.

"What the hell are you trying to do!" Zhang Zhiwei was in a terrible mood, wishing he could use his lightning magic to strike He Songling down along the electromagnetic waves of the cell phone signal.

"Look who's here?" He Songling turned the camera around and casually unleashed a burst of Qi, knocking Zhang Lingyu to his knees. "This kid is begging me to teach him the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, hehehe."

"Wow, this kid's improved... cough."

Zhang Zhiwei blurted out excitedly, but then thought better of it and pretended not to, to avoid embarrassing his disciple to death: "Well, Zhang Lingyu is no longer a member of my Celestial Master's Mansion. Whether he learns the Five Thunder Orthodox Method or not is none of my business. He doesn't need to follow that rule."

"Don't try to act all high and mighty with us. This kid sleeps with Xia He every night now, and she can smooth over any mood he might be in." He Songling interrupted Zhang Zhiwei without any politeness.

"If you ask me, one of the few advantages that makes the Zhengyi sect better than the Quanzhen sect is that they can sleep with their wives at night. That makes them psychologically healthier than those old bachelors who live alone in empty rooms. And even that, you and your master have ruined it. Who told you not to get married? How can you face Zhang Daoling!"

For a moment, Zhang Lingyu and Xia He's lips twitched. Was this something that could be discussed openly?
"Besides, if it really had nothing to do with you, why would he be able to learn the Five Thunder Orthodox Technique of the Celestial Master's Mansion? Wouldn't your Celestial Master's Mansion grab its weapons and beat him up?" He Songling added fuel to the fire from the side.

"The Zhengyi sect has spread widely, and there are many talented people in the Eight Great Divine Incantations and Thunder Magic. Even the Thunder Magic of the Celestial Master's Mansion is not the first to be popularized. With you, a deity, to teach me, what do I have to complain about?" Zhang Zhiwei was very happy. This kid Zhang Lingyu is finally showing some promise.

However, he truly wanted to kill He Songling's grandson, but unfortunately, he couldn't beat him now, and it seemed he had never been able to. Thinking back, their first meeting on the back mountain of the Lu family seemed to be the time when the gap between them was the smallest in their lives.

“Celestial Master’s Degree, hey, Celestial Master’s Degree.” Zhang Zhiwei shook his head slightly as he looked at his phone after hanging up the video call. A thought crossed his mind: perhaps what Lao He said was actually true. My life has been ruined by Celestial Master’s Degree.

"You see, even your old master would be tempted in this situation."

Zhang Zhiwei was unaware that a shameless deity had pretended to deceive him by hanging up the video call, but was actually still monitoring him through a connected camera.

He Songling handed the phone screen to Zhang Lingyu and held out his hand, saying, "A bet's a bet, my friend!"
