I manage female characters in all the heavens.

A moment of silence followed, then Laudenau's roar echoed from afar:

"Senior Brother! What are you doing?"

Linghu Chong was very happy to hear the reply, but he was also a little confused.

"My second junior brother's voice seemed to be filled with a sense of relief and joy. What's going on?"

Nothing much, I'm just happy to finally be sure I'm safe.

Dispelling his doubts, Linghu Chong cupped his hands into a megaphone shape and conveyed his request to Laudenuo from afar.

Upon hearing this, Laudenau was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

We're all official disciples, and you didn't even include me in your team building activity? Don't you consider me one of your own?

I have carried a gun for Mount Hua, I have shed blood for Mount Hua, and I have worked diligently for decades, doing all kinds of dirty and hard work. You cannot treat a loyal and hardworking servant of Mount Hua like this!

Despite the overwhelming bitterness in his heart, Laudenuo remained calm as always and quickly began preparing for the task assigned by his senior brother.

No matter how angry I am, I still have to get the work done.

He is not "Yue Lingshan" and has no right to say no to Linghu Chong, let alone slap Linghu Chong across the face and tell him to do it himself.

The more questionable his identity and the more guilty he felt, the less he could get along with his fellow disciples and the less he dared to refuse them.

Sometimes, in the dead of night, he would lie awake and ponder whether what he was doing was worth it, or perhaps he should simply confess to Yue Buqun and ask for forgiveness, so as to truly integrate into Mount Hua.

This kind of life is too tiring and too bitter, and he feels that he can't hold on any longer.

But when he thought about the decades he had already devoted, and when he thought about how the Huashan Sect was far inferior to the Songshan Sect in strength, his resolve would be strengthened once again.

"I have no way back," he often comforted himself.

In reality, if he were willing to turn back, there would be plenty of opportunities ahead; it's just that the benefits of turning back don't attract him.

Yue Buqun is a hypocrite who has spent his entire life deceiving others.

Laudenau was also a hypocrite, deceiving himself his whole life.

Soon, all the necessary supplies were counted and collected. Laudenau stood in front of a large pile of supplies, took a deep breath, and suppressed his frustration.

"You, you, you, and you, come with me and carry the things up to the Cliff of Repentance."

Laudenau casually picked five servants to help him move things, and one of them happened to be Lu Xin.

Lu Xin pretended to bow and scrape as he hurried forward to move things, but in reality, his eyes kept wandering around Laudenuo, observing him.

"The second main quest is to kill Laudenor. Even the Dimensional Lord hates spies?"

"With my current strength, confronting Laudenau head-on would be tantamount to suicide, and the probability of killing him by sneak attack is not even 100%. It's a really difficult task."

"However, the reward is quite generous. Ten years of internal energy cultivation at Mount Hua is enough to bring my internal strength to the third-rate level in the martial arts world, and my strength will increase dramatically."

We must get it!

The murderous intent in his eyes was almost bursting forth. He wanted to take advantage of the moment to draw the dagger from his pocket and kill the seemingly dazed Laudenau with a single blow.

But he held back.

Even if he openly stabbed Lao Denuo to death in such a place, he would still be subject to being expelled from the party by Yue Buqun.

He didn't want to die, so he could only lie low for the time being and wait for an opportunity.

"Let's go, don't keep our senior brothers waiting." Seeing that everyone had their things ready, Laudenuo announced their departure.

Chapter 29 You must repay my life-saving grace by serving me like a slave!

The path to the Cliff of Contemplation is narrow and treacherous, posing a considerable challenge to ordinary people without martial arts skills.

In particular, one section of the road is a cliffside walkway carved out of the mountainside, with a stone wall on one side and a sheer drop on the other, making it extremely dangerous.

If he were to slip and fall, even Yue Buqun would have little chance of survival.

Looking at the terrain here, Laudenau felt a surge of anger and resentment.

"If we find an opportunity to bring Yue Lingshan along this section of the road and arrange for her to fall off the cliff, this major threat can be eliminated in an instant."

Six months ago, he sent a message by carrier pigeon to Zuo Lengchan informing him of the threat posed by Yue Lingshan, urging him to eliminate this peerless genius as soon as possible.

However, half a year passed, and Zuo Lengchan neither sent anyone to kill him nor even sent him a letter, as if he had not received any of his messages, which made him quite worried.

As Yue Lingshan grew stronger and stronger, even surpassing Linghu Chong, his anxiety grew ever greater.

My old friends from the Songshan Sect, you haven't done anything about such a crucial matter in half a year! You've dragged it out until Yue Lingshan has become a third-rate expert whom I can't even beat anymore. You're nothing but a bunch of insects!

He had to consider whether he was the only person in the world who had a chance to stop Yue Lingshan from becoming invincible.

If he can truly achieve this, his achievements will be forever recorded in the annals of Mount Song, and his merits will be greater than the heavens!

Laudenuo walked ahead, pondering how to use this section of the road to trap Yue Lingshan, while less than three meters behind him, Lu Xin was also thinking about how to trap him here.

"If we can find an opportunity to lure Laudenau here alone, and loosen a section of the ground beforehand to force him to retreat and stand on it, then we can achieve great things!"

As for how a nobody like him could force Laudenuo, a third-rate expert, to retreat, Lu Xin had his own methods.

All you need to do is lay a crossbow at the entrance of the plank road, and once Laudenau is on the plank road, you can use the crossbow to block his retreat.

It's difficult to dodge crossbow bolts in such a confined space, but it's also not easy to directly kill a third-rate expert.

However, there is no need to shoot them; simply hold back the arrow and force them to retreat.

Sometimes, crossbow bolts are at their most powerful just before they are fired.

"That works! After I've familiarized myself with the situation along the way in a few days, I'll just send him a note pointing out his identity as a spy and invite him out. He definitely won't dare to make a sound!"

"When he dies, it will be because he fell to his death, and no one will be able to trace it back to me."

Having made his decision, Lu Xin was in high spirits and flattered Laudenau ahead:

"Senior brother, your skills are truly unparalleled. You can walk on such a dangerous place as if it were flat ground. It is truly enviable."

Laudenau was pleased to hear the compliment and chuckled twice.

"These petty tricks are not worth mentioning. The sect leader is the one with unparalleled skills. I am far from being able to do this."

"Senior brother is too modest. With your skills, even if you accidentally slip and fall here, you can easily lift yourself up and fly back. You are truly a god-like figure."

Laudenuo was speechless: "Even the sect leader can't do that kind of thing, so don't brag. Just do your job honestly and conscientiously. Flattery is not a good thing, you should reflect on yourself."

A little blowing is pleasant to listen to, but blowing too much is annoying.

"I will remember your teachings, Senior Brother, and keep them in mind!" Lu Xin immediately expressed his gratitude and said he would correct his mistake.

You taught me a lesson today, and I'll remember this grudge. I'll send you to your death in a few days to avenge myself!

However, Lu Xin seemed to be deep in thought while acting.

"Even Yue Buqun can't fly back, this is really good news."

If they're asking him to kill Lao Denuo now, who knows, they might ask him to kill Yue Buqun later.

Now that we know Yue Buqun could also be killed by this terrain, at least we have another option for the future.

He really planned ahead.

Soon after, the group passed through the dangerous plank road and quickly arrived at the Cliff of Contemplation.

Laudenuo put down his things and went to talk to his fellow disciples, while the five servants were responsible for moving the things into the cave and arranging them properly.

Lu Xin carried six quilts into the cave. With a casual glance, he saw Yue Lingshan sitting cross-legged on a rock, diligently cultivating her internal energy.

His eyes lit up and his heart warmed; he wanted to greet the young lady.

But then he remembered that they were practicing their internal energy cultivation and should not be disturbed, so he held back.

Before today, his impression of Yue Lingshan was that she was beautiful but willful, and devoted but brainless.

But when I encountered this young lady this morning and offended her, I was only scolded a couple of times in a coquettish voice, and I wasn't even deprived of the opportunity to choose medicinal herbs.

The pharmacy is someone's private property. They booked the place, so it was wrong of him to go up there and make a scene. But they were magnanimous and didn't punish him at all.

Moreover, the credit for his opportunity mostly came from repairing the morning bell that Yue Lingshan had destroyed, so it can be said that it was also given to him by Yue Lingshan.

He truly felt Yue Lingshan's kindness and loveliness, and his prejudices vanished. He even grew to like this mischievous but pure and kind girl.

The thought of Yue Lingshan's tragic future filled Lu Xin with an urge to change that cruel fate and take good care of this lovely girl!

Linghu Chong is heartless and treacherous, Lin Pingzhi is ruthless and vicious, and Yue Buqun is ungrateful to his own family...

The three most important men in Yue Lingshan's life were all the source of her pain; only Lu Xin could bring her warmth and happiness!

Shan'er, I like you!

While cultivating, Yue Lingshan suddenly felt a scorching gaze fixed on her, so intense it seemed to melt her.

She opened her eyes and immediately met Lu Xin's gaze.

Holy crap, Dongfang Bubai!

She was jolted so hard that she almost flew off her feet.

But she endured it with great willpower and did not show the slightest abnormality.

Dongfang Bubai is still acting; revealing his true nature means there's no choice but to fight him to the death and cooperate with him!

Yue Lingshan finished her practice and slowly stood up, nodding slightly to Lu Xin and forcing a stiff smile:

"Thank you for your hard work. Just put the things in that corner over there."

Lu Xin's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was overjoyed.

She smiled at me; she likes me!

Lu Xin was full of energy and eager to do the work. He completed 80% of the moving and sorting work by himself, fully demonstrating his physical strength. He was drenched in sweat and showed his masculine spirit.

How about that? Never seen such a fierce man before, have you? You must be drooling!

However, in Yue Lingshan's eyes, this was clearly a demonstration.

"Is he showing me his labor power to demonstrate his martial arts prowess and flaunt his unparalleled strength?"

Yue Lingshan was drenched in cold sweat, feeling an overwhelming pressure that clouded her mind.

In an instant, she felt that Lu Xin's every move was full of the true meaning of martial arts, and was filled with a torrent of energy, like a vortex swallowing the spiritual light of heaven and earth, and like a sun radiating its blazing light.

It was as if he could crush me and tear me to pieces the moment he got close, without even lifting a finger.
