Chapter 32: Thinking Big
Bai Lian is not interested in the events mentioned by Tong Yao.
She is more concerned about how to make the future "Lord of Hades Hall" stop bothering her for a while.
Punch her?
With Bai Lian's current strength, she can easily beat up the drunkard Tong Yao, leaving her sleepless for several days.
But this is risky, then Bai Lian must ensure that she always remains stronger than Tong Yao, or she will be beaten back one day.
What's more frustrating is that Tong Yao's biological father is the current leader of Hades hall, and his strength is not weaker than that of An Lan.
Bai Lian doesn't expect her master, An Lan, to die when she stands up for her at the critical moment.
Well, she can still depend on cheating.
"You said Shen Xiangling wanted to test my real strength? There's nothing to worry about. Let her do it!"
After Tong Yao told her the "shocking news", Bai Lian smiled.
Awesome! Tong Yao almost froze in place.
This is the Martial Sister Bai Lian whom she adores most.
For Tong Yao, who used to have a real rough and tumble life as a child, her biggest dream now is becoming a strong woman like Martial Sister Bai Lian!
In her heart, she secretly compared her barren figure to Bai Lian’s. She was 1.4 meters tall and her chest could only be described as flat. It would be very difficult for her to have a proud posture like Martial Sister Bai Lian without some outside help.
Tong Yao snorted, "I knew Martial Sister Bai Lian didn't pay attention to Shen Xiangling. It's funny that many people in the sect thought that Martial Sister Bai Lian was no match for Shen Xiangling. It seems that I didn't work hard enough!"
She has to work harder!
However, it is worth congratulating that what she has done so far is not in vain.
More and more people are aware of Martial Sister Bai Lian's power.
"Younger Martial Sister Tong." Bai Lian suddenly became serious.
"Eh?" Tong Yao looked at Bai Lian in doubt.
Bai Lian was reviewing the new task that had just popped up.
[Task 1: Encourage Tong Yao to put in more effort! (Reward: Spell - Cutting Clouds and Water)]
[Task 2: Don't say anything. (Reward: The Seal of the Ancient Emperor)]
[Task 3: Persuade Tong Yao to give up. (Reward: An inferior magic tool - Wolf King Hook)]
As she guessed, Tong Yao is a troublemaker.
Look, there is no safe task!
In fact, it is unsurprising if you think about it carefully.
Tong Yao's preaching about her will surely lead some people in the sect to be dissatisfied with her.
Moreover, in some storylines of The Battle of the Gods, Tong Yao discovered the evil deeds of "Bai Lian", and betrayed her immediately.
[Choose…]
Bai Lian fell into hesitation.
Task 2 was ignored by her directly. She didn't want to be so passive.
In addition, with her current strength, she couldn't use the reward of "The Seal of the Ancient Emperor". She has no patience to wait.
Task 3 seems safe, but she is worried that Tong Yao will jump out and cause trouble again.
Finally, Bai Lian chose Task 1.
Cutting Clouds and Water is not a particularly advanced spell, which is quite compatible with her current strength. This hints that it will not make things worse if she chooses it.
And Bai Lian thought of a new tactic!
These days, she summarized and found that there are two types of system tasks.
The first type is like a poem dictation, which forces her to say the exact words; the second type is like an open-ended question, she can choose her words as long as she doesn't stray too far from the topic.
Bai Lian decided to let Tong Yao publicize her and other people at the same time. In this way, the number of people who envy her will be greatly reduced, and she will not "stray from the topic".
I can do it!
"Younger Martial Sister Tong." Bai Lian sighed, "I see everything you have done. To be honest, I am very moved, but…"
Tong Yao frowned and said, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, do you want me to stop?"
"No!"
Bai Lian said positively.
Tong Yao was confused. What did you want?
Bai Lian explained, "I know you do this for the sake of our Duxian sect (nope), but for the harmonious development of the Duxian sect, I think you should pay attention to the ways and means."
Tong Yao modestly asked Bai Lian for advice, "Should I beat gongs and drums while preaching?"
Not at all! Bai Lian shook her head seriously, "I mean, you should not only publicize me, but also those whose names are on the Qionghua list and the Jade list."
"Why… Ohh!" Tong Yao's eyes lit up, "I understand!"
Did you really get it?
Tong Yao nodded and said with a smile, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, you want me to collect evidence of their bad deeds, and then severely discredit them!". No problem. She likes it.
What the fuck did you get? Bai Lian wanted to give Tong Yao a blow, but she endured it and said righteously, "No, I want you to give them positive publicity. For example, Elder Martial Brother Gong Juren is strong, Elder Martial Sister Chen Lu is warm-hearted… preach about everyone equally, so that no one will be jealous and thus maintain the harmony of the Duxian sect!"
"Those retarded children, do they dare to envy Martial Sister Bai Lian?!"
Too shameless! Tong Yao was very angry.
She also doubted whether Martial Sister Bai Lian had lost her mind. Why does she want to assist her opponents? The cultivation world is very cruel. Being nice to other people is equal to killing yourself.
Tong Yao was going to persuade Martial Sister Bai Lian.
She was about to open her mouth when a flash of light flashed through her mind.
Something's wrong! Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian is so smart that she must have misunderstood her. Why did Martial Sister Bai Lian ask her to publicize Elder Martial Brother Gong Juren and others?
"I see!" Tong Yao consciously grasped the correct answer.
Elder Martial Brother Gong Juren was scared away by Martial Sister Bai Lian. At this time, if she went to publicize Elder Martial Brother Gong Juren, that is equal to publicizing Martial Sister Bai Lian without seeming to do so!
I see. Tong Yao's body trembled violently.
Too strong. Martial Sister Bai Lian deserves to be a Natural Saint. She easily came up with a way she couldn't think of.
This is called thinking big!
Tong Yao looked down at her chest. The gap between her and Martial Sister Bai Lian was much larger than that between the plains and the mountains.
Thinking of this, she seized Bai Lian's hand excitedly, "Martial Sister Bai Lian, I will start immediately!"
Bai Lian replied, "Ok, Younger Martial Sister Tong, I'm happy to see you understand!"
She thought she would have to spend more effort to complete the task. Unexpectedly, Tong Yao's cooperation made her prepared persuasion useless.
Tong Yao said, "The sooner the better, Martial Sister Bai Lian, I will go copy the Qionghua and Jade lists now!"
She turned and ran away.
[Task completed, task reward - the spell "Cutting Clouds and Water"]
Bai Lian looked at the task reward with satisfaction. Unlike [Butterfly Dance] with psychedelic effects, [Cutting Clouds and Water] is an attack spell.
She looked up at the night sky and thought the moonlight was beautiful tonight.
……
After clearing the tables, Bai Lian went to the medicine garden to feed the rabbit.
A figure standing on the edge of the cold pool attracted Bai Lian's attention.
"Why are you here?", Bai Lian frowned slightly, and her melancholic appearance was very beautiful.
"You don't seem to be very welcoming towards me, do you?" It was Shen Xiangling. Her voice sounded light, but her face was extremely dignified, as if something big was going to happen.
Bai Lian shook her head. "It's not true. I'm just wondering how you passed through the Forbidden Array of the Qiongming Peak."
Shen Xiangling said, "You can tell by looking at this Jade Message Slip."
Bai Lian took the Jade Message Slip and read it. The message comes from the sect leader, Jue Yunzi.
The content made her dumbfounded.
Jue Yunzi said that Shen Xiangling was let in by him, because Shen Xiangling wanted to challenge her.
[There is no need to hide your strength this time. Let the Saint of the Biluo sect see our true strength!]
Bai Lian just wanted to cry.
The Saint of the Biluo sect is at least at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. With her current strength, she can only fight a cultivator in the middle stage of the Golden Core Stage.
You think I'm not dying fast enough, aren’t you?!
Where's my master?
Oh, she is the one who hopes I can die quickly. Fine.
The only thing Bai Lian can rely on is the Jade Rabbit, but the problem is that she has not signed a contract with the jade rabbit, so she may not be able to order the Jade Rabbit to fight with her.
As expected, new task options emerged before her eyes.
[Task 1: Admit defeat decisively. (Reward: Nine Forging Scriptures)]
[Task 2: Fight bravely. A real warrior dares to confront the blood filled future! (Reward: Spiritual Herb - Thunder Bud)]
[Task 3: Ignore Shen Xiangling. (Reward: A top-grade magic tool - Autumn Water Sword)]
The minimum reward is a top-grade magic tool.
"……"
"？"
"！"
Ha → ha ↗ Ha ↑
When seeing the reward of Task 2, Bai Lian's heartfelt laughter gradually became unbridled.
I am saved!
With a calm face, she picked up the idle Jade Rabbit in front of Shen Xiangling, "Do you want to eat Thunder Bud?"
"Haw?"
The rabbit's eyes were wide and round.
Bai Lian said, "Help me drive her away."
The rabbit's ears pricked up at once.
Hearing this, Shen Xiangling felt angry, "Bai Lian, what do you mean?"
Bai Lian looked calm, "Only by defeating it can you prove that you have the strength to challenge me!"
"Is that how you treat your guests?"
Bai Lian said, "Today you are a bad guest, I don't need to be polite to you!"
Shen Xiangling took a deep breath. After her anger reached the extreme, she miraculously calmed down.
She understood. If it was she who was challenged, her attitude would probably be no better than Bai Lian's.
"Good!"
Shen Xiangling responded.
It's just a rabbit. I will not lose to a rabbit!
