Si Lei Zhenjun

Chapter 191 It’s gotten so crooked

"Benefactor!"

Chu Xing was about to persuade him again, but suddenly he heard a deep male voice coming from behind him, which sounded vaguely familiar.

He turned around and saw that it was Gu Hong and his daughter whom he had met in Fenglin County.

Wearing a brand new robe, he looked radiant, completely different from his previous shabby appearance.

"It's you guys," Chu Xing smiled and asked casually:

"How are you doing in Hun Tian Immortal City now?"

Before this, he had asked Wang Huntian if there was a father and daughter surnamed Gu who came to the City Lord's Mansion to seek a job.

After hearing Wang Huntian say that he had arranged a good job for the other party, he didn't ask any more questions.

Gu Hong bowed to Chu Xing again:

"I also want to thank you for your introduction last time. The city lord arranged a job for me as a street patroller. Not only is it easy, but I can also earn a lot of spirit stones every month."

"No need to be so polite," Chu Xing waved his hand quickly, "It's just a small favor."

"My benefactor," Gu Hong gently pushed his timid daughter forward, "I just saw that you seemed to be looking for a disciple. What do you think of Xiaochan? She has a top-grade spiritual root."

Chu Xing remained silent.

To be honest, even he felt that Piaomiao Peak was not a good place to go. There was nothing there, no one to teach him, and he had to be on guard against being implicated by his master at all times.

It might be okay to trick a stranger into going back with you, but forget about this acquaintance.

Thinking of this, Chu Xing was about to politely decline, but the pretty girl next to him came out at the right time to interrupt him.

She stopped in front of Gu Hong and advised him earnestly:

"Don't be fooled by these small favors. He may appear to be a good person, but in reality he is a scumbag with a beastly heart."

She immediately told him about the rumors she had heard about Chu Xing in the sect:

"Not only does he enjoy beating and abusing his own maid, he also ruthlessly forces her to help him complete sect missions day and night. If you hand your daughter over to him, it would be like pushing her into a pit of fire."

Chu Xing: “???”

Beating, scolding, and abuse?

This rumor has been spreading and has become so distorted!

Gu Hong quickly defended Chu Xing:

"I guess you have some misunderstanding about him, Fairy. Benefactor is definitely not that kind of person."

"A few months ago, my little daughter was kidnapped by a gang of thugs. It was thanks to him that he bravely broke into the thieves' den and rescued her."

"If he treats strangers like this, how could he mistreat his own maid?"

The pretty girl thought for a moment and said:

"You can't judge a person by his appearance. Maybe he set up all this just to make you willingly hand over your daughter to him."

"Fairy, please don't make random assumptions," Gu Hong said with a look of annoyance. "I once begged you to take my daughter as your disciple, but he refused without giving it much thought and even found me a job in Hun Tian Immortal City."

"This is called playing hard to get. Don't you just want to hand your daughter over to him now?" The pretty girl said without hesitation.

It turns out that invisible imagination is the most deadly.

Chu Xing complained silently, and at the same time, he had some thoughts in mind.

He looked at the pretty girl and said in feigned anger:

"Since Senior Sister thinks so little of our Piao Miao Peak, I wonder what conditions you, the Wu Chong Xi lineage, can offer?"

Seeing Chu Xing getting furious, the pretty woman felt even more proud:

"She has a top-grade spiritual root and performed remarkably well in this entrance examination. If she follows me back, even if she isn't accepted as a disciple by my clan elders, she will surely be eagerly sought after by the deacons as a personal disciple."

"Haha, I really don't know what Senior Sister is bragging about," Chu Xing said with disdain, "If she follows me back, she'll immediately become the Vessel Master's personal disciple. Besides, my Master is extremely protective of her, so she won't be bullied in the sect anymore."

The pretty girl opened her eyes wide, glared at him, and said:

"So what if she's taught by the Pulse Master herself? There's still no one to teach her, and I'm afraid your Piaomiao Peak can't provide her with sufficient resources for cultivation."

Chu Xing argued:

"Senior Sister, you're wrong. My Master and Senior Brother are just too lazy to teach, not that they don't know how to teach. And although we at Piao Miao Peak aren't wealthy, it shouldn't be a problem for us to grit our teeth and provide for her cultivation needs."

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows at the other party:

"So, Senior Sister, do you still think it's better for her to join your lineage than to join Piaomiao Peak?"

"you……"

The pretty girl glared at Chu Xing, gritting her teeth, and after hesitating for a while, she snorted coldly and said:

"Humph, if she follows me back, she can become the direct disciple of the Vein Master, and the cultivation resources she will receive in the future will definitely be much more than if she went to your Piaomiao Peak."

A sneer appeared on Chu Xing's face:

"Senior Sister, please don't try to be so arrogant. Can you make the decision on something as important as the Pulse Master accepting a disciple?"

The pretty girl raised her slender swan neck and said proudly:

"My name is Chu Dongling. Do you think I can make the decision?"

The head of the Wuchongxi lineage seems to also have the surname Chu... No wonder he dares to say such big words, it turns out he is related to the head of his own lineage.

Chu Xing pondered in his heart.

He seemed quite regretful and said with a folded hand:

"Senior sister won, junior brother admits defeat."

Chu Dongling's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, "Humph, it's good that you know how powerful I am."

"My benefactor... Actually, we don't mind whether there are more or less cultivation resources. Why don't you let Xiaochan go back with you?" Gu Hong said.

He didn't have a good impression of this aggressive woman.

What's more, Chu Xing had done a great favor to them, father and daughter, and he didn't want to see him lose face.

Chu Xing was speechless for a moment, and whispered to Gu Hong:

"This isn't a matter of cultivation resources. It's just that our Piaomiao Peak lineage is quite special within the sect and is not suitable for Xiaochan at all."

He only wanted to bicker with Chu Dongling to get rid of this senior sister's entanglement and see if he could motivate her to help Xiaochan find a good master.

After all, those who are sent by the sect to guide new disciples must have a high status.

After receiving the message, Gu Hong immediately understood the other party's intention. He didn't say anything more, but looked at Chu Xing with more gratitude.

Chu Xing walked to Xiaochan and said with a smile:

"Xiaochan, if this sister doesn't ask Master Chu to accept you as her disciple, you will come to Piaomiao Peak to inform your brother, okay?"

Hearing this, the little girl nodded, not quite understanding, and Chu Dongling immediately retorted:

"Hmph, you can rest assured about this matter. I'm not like some low-quality beast in human form who doesn't keep his word."

Chu Xing did not respond to her words, but reached out and touched the little girl's head, saying:

"I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."

Then he nodded to Gu Hong again, turned around and left.

Chu Dongling glanced at Chu Xing's departing back, then looked at Gu Hong and his daughter, and always felt that something was wrong.

I guess I'm here to stop him from cheating?

Why did you accept an apprentice for my grandfather?
