Chapter 23: The Naive Li Chan'er Believes the Deceiver:
(Inner Gate, Core Disciple Residential Area)
On the second floor of a building.
Lu Ming sat slumped on the bed, and his expression was extremely grim.
Lu Ming had prepared for so long for the time's sect assessment.
According to his plan, he should have soared high in the sect assessment. Not only would he become a true disciple, but he would also gain the attention of many elders and make Qiu Ruohan see him in a new light.
He was supposed to start his journey of rising against all odds!!
But what happened?
Not only did he lose the spot of a true disciple, Even the elixir that his beautiful master painstakingly crafted for him was wasted!
Especially when he used all his trump cards to challenge Lin Ang, only to find out he didn't even have the strength to stand before Lin Ang.
Under Lin Ang's sword aura pressure, he knelt!
This humiliation drove him utterly mad!!
Especially seeing Qiu Ruohan’s familiar yet distant gaze...
It made Lu Ming’s desire to kill Lin Ang reach its peak!!
If it weren't for Lin Ang, he would be the one shining brightly in the inner sect!!
If it weren't for Lin Ang, he would be the one standing beside Qiu Ruohan!!
Now, Lu Ming didn’t care about anything!!
He only wanted to kill Lin Ang!!
"Xiao Ming, you are too reckless... Losing the spot of a true disciple means our two years of effort are wasted."
At this moment, from the necklace beside him, the voice of his beautiful master slowly emerged.
"Master??"
Hearing that voice, Lu Ming quickly turned his head, his tone almost crying: "Master, when I asked for your help, why didn't you act??"
"Did you just watch me become the laughing stock of the whole sect??"
"I was really desperate back then..."
Lu Ming’s tone was somewhat aggrieved and also somewhat blaming.
Why didn’t his beautiful master help him back then?
The beautiful master in the necklace sighed: "Previously, to help you refine that Tiger Blood Pill, I had already exhausted the soul power I gathered over the past two years..."
"And if I had acted... it would have likely exposed my whereabouts. Those chasing me are all peak experts, even the old ancestor of the Azure Cloud Sect may not be their match."
For the first time, the beautiful master felt a bit disappointed in Lu Ming.
Since she was awakened by Lu Ming, she had always been grateful to this young man, even at the cost of her soul power, crafting elixirs for him.
She completely took care of him like a little brother.
But, Lu Ming repeatedly acted on impulse, and never considered her.
Even Lu Ming himself hadn’t noticed the tone of his beautiful master, and the distance between them increased.
At this moment, a clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Lu Ming?"
"Brother Lu Ming, are you inside?"
Hearing that voice, Lu Ming was startled, then a name appeared in his mind!!
Li Chan'er!!
Lu Ming hurriedly got up and opened the door.
Sure enough, as the door stood Li Chan'er, the current second chief of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Wearing a red dress, standing gracefully, she was looking around from the doorway.
Seeing Lu Ming, Li Chan'er smiled excitedly: "Brother Lu Ming, you finally returned to the inner sect!!"
"Chan'er just returned from a mission and hurried over when I heard the news!"
Lu Ming was a year older than Li Chan'er.
They were from the same kingdom, and back then in the kingdom.
They were childhood sweethearts, always close!
But, for some reason, Li Chan'er always felt that the current Lu Ming looked very downcast.
No longer as high-spirited as he used to be.
Instead, there was a touch of sinister aura.
‘Maybe it’s just my illusion...’
‘Brother Lu Ming has suffered a lot these years. If he hadn’t been expelled from the inner sect back then, this second chief position wouldn’t have fallen to me...’
‘Brother Lu Ming always protected me before. Now... I have the ability to protect Brother Lu Ming!!’
The girl made a decision in her heart.
The two entered the pavilion.
Core disciples of the inner sect.
They were allocated individual, exquisite, and spacious pavilions.
"Brother Lu Ming, are you hurt?"
Seeing the wounds on Lu Ming’s knees and forehead, Li Chan'er quickly asked.
Lu Ming, looking desolate, nodded: "Yes... I was injured by a disciple named Lin Ang."
"When I was in the outer sect, he was jealous of my talent and suppressed me in every way... I endured it countless times. I didn’t expect to be injured by him again in the sect assessment..."
"He even... forced me to kneel before him!!"
"He... is simply a devil!!"
Lu Ming spoke tearfully, painting himself as a hardworking, kind person who wouldn’t even harm an ant.
He depicted Lin Ang as a bully who oppressed disciples and was a scoundrel of the sect.
The more Lu Ming spoke, the more into the role he got, almost believing it himself.
The beautiful master in the necklace remained silent.
But Lu Ming's hypocrisy made her feel increasingly unfamiliar.
"What? Outrageous!!"
"That's too much!!"
Hearing this, Li Chan'er stood up angrily: "8th stage Spirit Condensing Realm? What right does he have to be the first chief, standing above us other chief disciples?"
"I am at the 1st stage Core Formation Realm and specialize in spear techniques. In the whole sect, besides Sister Ruohan, I am confident I am second to none!!"
"First chief disciple? Hmph!!"
"I would like to see!!"
