Borrowing a sword

Chapter 27: Are you going to compete with me in terms of background?
Niu Yuanshan, one of the nine outer sect stewards, appeared in the dungeon.

Chu Huaixu's housekeeper was standing beside him, looking at the young man with a worried expression.

Upon seeing the wound on the other person's arm, her already cold face instantly became even more frosty.

"He's injured!" Han Shuangjiang's heart tightened.

Chu Huaixu breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Niu Yuanshan.

Before transmigrating, the silly player had already thoroughly investigated the [organization].

Later on, many players started making memes, not only reciting the "Organization's Admonitions" by heart, but also referring to each other as "this fellow practitioner" and "loyalty"!
Not long ago, Chu Huaixu had also been jokingly thinking to himself, "Fellow comrades, save me! Loyalty!"

But once inside the dungeon, the surrounding environment changed, and the atmosphere immediately became more intense.

He was actually a little nervous.

Old Niu, don't be late!

Fortunately, Niu Yuanshan appeared at just the right time.

This made Chu Huaixu secretly vow in his heart: "From now on, I will only use memes, not people."

Old Niu, you're a good man.

What was touching was that as soon as Niu Yuanshan approached, he immediately stood in front of Chu Huaixu.

This middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had an upright and honest face, but he was actually half a head shorter than Chu Huaixu and had a slight hunchback.

But I don't know why, I just feel very safe.

He gave the young man a gentle smile before shielding him behind him.

It really felt like being a senior member of my family.

Han Shuangjiang quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"It's nothing, just a minor scratch." Chu Huaixu didn't care at all.

The old man named Liu Tianfeng frowned deeply: "Niu Yuanshan?"

He never expected that the other party would come here.

Moreover, the tone was unfriendly!
This was very different from the Niu Yuanshan he remembered.

Have no idea.

A true Taoist deacon: He goes about his business, gives orders to his subordinates, abuses his power, and acts lawlessly.

The fake undercover butler: responsible, conscientious, fair in his actions, and works like a slave.

Niu Yuanshan infiltrated the Taoist sect for three years and then another three years; he truly was like a devoted ox.

The absurd thing is that in the workplace, the more work this undercover agent does, the less others do.

Honestly, without Niu Yuanshan, this outer sect would have fallen apart!
Liu Tianfeng and he were both outer sect stewards, and having worked together for so many years, they understood Lao Niu's temperament.

This guy is such a nice person.

Therefore, he never imagined that one day this old ox would say such words!

"How dare they say I have such an arrogant official air!" A nameless anger rose in Deacon Liu's heart.

It's strange; when a kind-hearted person who has done a lot of work for you suddenly scolds you, your first reaction is to feel angry.

Liu Tianfeng and Niu Yuanshan are roughly equal in strength, both at the Great Perfection of the Third Realm. They have never sparred, so it is unknown who is stronger.

As deacons, Liu Tianfeng was more senior, or rather, he was the most senior among the nine deacons.

He looked at the uncharacteristically sullen Old Niu with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "Niu Yuanshan, are you going to stand up for him?"

The energy surged, and the pressure of the third realm spread throughout the dungeon, as if the air itself had solidified, making it difficult to breathe.

"So what if it is?" Beneath Niu Yuanshan's thick eyebrows, his eyes narrowed slightly, and spiritual energy began to ripple from his body.

In an instant, the dungeon became tense and dangerous.

The two brothers, Liu Chengqi and Liu Chenggong, looked at each other in bewilderment.

The former was so angry that he gritted his teeth, never expecting that this damned dog surnamed Chu would actually have someone protecting him.

The latter, while surprised, also marveled at Han Shuangjiang's beauty, saying that she was truly a beauty of unparalleled grace!
"It's really not my cousin's fault!"

The atmosphere had already reached this point, and both deacons were actually in a bit of an awkward position.

Liu Tianfeng roared, "Niu Yuanshan! Think carefully! This boy has seriously injured my son!"

“I know the whole story, and it’s clear that Liu Chengqi was in the wrong first,” Niu Yuanshan said, not backing down.

In his view, the newcomer in the organization did the right thing.

Although he didn't know that Han Shuangjiang possessed the Xuan Yin constitution and that her spiritual embryo required a blood test, he could tell from that day that Li Chunsong valued this girl highly. Old Niu wasn't stupid; he was certain that the Sixth Elder valued this young woman more than this newcomer in the organization.

Therefore, he concluded that she was definitely a woman of exceptional talent.

Sure enough, he had already mastered two techniques even though he had only just begun learning.

It would do no harm to befriend Chu Huaixu.

"I deliberately arranged for them to live together, which was actually a kind of hint."

"He must have understood." Old Niu was relieved.

In his view, although Chu Huaixu acted arrogantly and injured people as soon as he entered the sect, it was not without reason. At least he established himself as an upright person.

Such a temperament might be appreciated by high-ranking members of the Taoist sect.

Niu Yuanshan had seen the ruthless side of this fox-faced man.

Even after someone is dead, they still get slapped a few times.

In his view, the fact that his son was still alive and kicking and could still seek revenge meant that Chu Huaixu had already restrained himself.

At this moment, with his beloved son and nephew watching him, it would be difficult for Liu Tianfeng not to stand up for himself.

“Niu Yuanshan, even if you protect him, you can only keep his life safe, but he still has to be punished!”

The old man lunged forward, reaching out to snatch Chu Huaixu away.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, Niu Yuanshan raised his arm to block, as firm as a rock.

After a brief exchange, he led Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang back, not wanting to reveal too much of his many abilities, and said:

"Deacon Liu, are you sure you want to take action? You didn't even ask me for my reasons beforehand?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tianfeng snorted coldly: "Spit it out!"

Niu Yuanshan transmitted his voice to the old man, so that only he could hear it:

"Let me give you a heads-up: Chu Huaixu and Han Shuangjiang were personally brought up the mountain by the Sixth Elder."

"What!" Liu Tianfeng, whose hair was half white, trembled violently, his face turning deathly pale.

In Taoism, the inner and outer sects are separated by an insurmountable chasm.

Li Chunsong, as an inner sect elder and a peerless expert of the seventh realm, could reduce Liu Tianfeng to ashes with a flick of his finger and remove him from his position as deacon with a single word.

The old man had assumed that Niu Yuanshan was Chu Huaixu's backer, and he was already incredibly surprised.

As it turned out, the other party's backer was much stronger than he had imagined!

It is one of the highest in the entire Taoist sect, and even in the entire Eastern Continent!

Liu Tianfeng had been working in the outer sect for many years and was the most senior steward, a seasoned veteran among seasoned veterans.

If Chu Huaixu were to be described as exceptionally talented, a once-in-a-century genius, his fear would be somewhat lessened.

But unfortunately, he was just a low-grade spiritual embryo!
"What kind of broken spirit embryo is this? Is it worth the Sixth Elder personally bringing it up the mountain?"

The more this happened, the more Liu Tianfeng felt that the two had a very close relationship.

The worse his qualifications, the stronger his connections!
"Given Niu Yuanshan's mild-mannered nature, why did he have to stand up for himself this time? Could it be that the Sixth Elder had already instructed him to take good care of him?" The old man kept imagining, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He even started scrutinizing Chu Huaixu, wondering if he resembled the Sixth Elder...

Okay, he's way too handsome.

"Could it be the son of an old friend of the Sixth Elder?"

Liu Tianfeng's expression began to shift between light and dark, his mind filled with various suspicions.

Seeing his appearance, Niu Yuanshan said, "Deacon Liu, may I take him away now?"

Liu Tianfeng dared not stop him.

He even cupped his hands in thanks to Niu Yuanshan and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Steward Niu."

Old Niu is still the same old Old Niu, a kind-hearted man. He saved me!
Niu Yuanshan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Chu Huaixu, as if to invite him to leave together.

But his gaze fell on Chu Huaixu's arm.

"Are you injured?" he asked.

Without waiting for Chu Huaixu's reply, Niu Yuanshan turned around again and looked at Liu Tianfeng and the others.

This middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes had a kind smile on his face.

"I'm afraid we can't just leave like this now," he said.
