200. Who is more formidable, Wu Yingge or Lino?

In the General’s Mansion, ** Courtyard.

The water babbled, flowers vied in beauty, and Liu Shuqin sat with Su Kexin at the stone table, conversing with Elder Yuan.

“Shuqin, Kexin, you both have worked hard guarding the altar. Upon my return to Tianling Mountain, I will report to the sect leader and record your merits. Should there be any trials or teaching opportunities, Xuan Yun Sect will prioritize you both.”

“Thank you, Elder Yuan, for the promotion. However, we haven’t really achieved any meritorious deeds in Zhouling City, and we feel undeserving,” Liu Shuqin said respectfully.

“Not at all, you both indeed have merits, no need to be modest.”

“Elder Yuan, how do you evaluate Young Master Wu?” Su Kexin interjected.

“You mean Wu Yingge? He killed ‘Poison Bee’ and, with his own intelligence and bravery, eliminated Cang Chao who attempted to destroy the Three-Day Stone. Whether in terms of strength or insight, he is a rare talent. It’s said that at a young age, he established his own sect, called ‘Wu Yao Wang’, and has a disciple. Honestly, I do wish he would join Xuan Yun Sect.”

“How does Young Master Wu compare to my senior brother?”

Su Kexin continued to ask, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, eager for Elder Yuan’s authoritative evaluation.

“Your senior brother, Lino, right? It’s not easy to compare the two; they each have their strengths. But speaking of which, their approaches to matters do share some similarities. Do you remember the incident in the alchemy room?”

“Remember, remember! At that time, Senior Brother was in my group. I still recall how he appeared to be normally adding materials to the alchemy furnace, but in reality, he added black scale stones to restrict the furnace’s effectiveness and personally captured the traitor instructor. He saved us all, of course, I remember clearly!”

Speaking of Lin Nuo’s glorious deeds, Su Kexin became excited. At Tianling Mountain, while conversing with others, she would inevitably steer the conversation towards Lin Nuo, growing more and more animated as if she wanted to announce Lin Nuo’s heroic acts to the whole world.

Of course, Liu Shuqin had long noticed Su Kexin’s thoughts. She didn’t react as excitedly as Su Kexin, but she would also casually mention Lin Nuo. After all, Lin Nuo was a hero, an idol that most female cultivators at Xuan Yun Sect aspired to.

Moreover, Lin Nuo was their junior and senior brother, as well as a handsome young master. Within Xuan Yun Sect, the male peer they interacted with the most was Lin Nuo. And since Lin Nuo had saved them, he naturally held a noble image in their hearts.

“Kexin, don’t get too excited. I know about Lin Nuo’s deeds as well. Indeed, at that time, he showed extraordinary courage and wisdom, which I couldn’t help but admire. This time, guarding the sacred altar, there was a similarity in their methods; both pretended to be unaware, then acted covertly, contended with the strong, and finally completed the arduous task. Moreover, the two share a commonality; they don’t seem to possess any formidable power on the surface, but the results they achieve are astonishing.”

“Exactly, exactly, Senior Brother is just like that, unfathomable. To this day, no one in the sect understands why he is still at the third stage of the Spirit Realm, but the strength he has shown is stronger than any of us!”

Su Kexin said this in front of Elder Yuan, implying that Lin Nuo was stronger than any elder.

Of course, Elder Yuan didn’t mind. Indeed, he questioned himself, if he were in Lin Nuo’s place, he wouldn’t have been able to handle it as properly.

A hero emerges from youth, indeed so.

Elder Yuan continued with a smile, “Sometimes I wonder if Wu Yingge might be Lin Nuo. But he doesn’t seem to have any reason to hide his identity, haha, don’t mind me, I sometimes get confused and think oddly. However, there’s no saying who’s better between Wu Yingge and Lin Nuo, they’re not from the same faction, so comparison is meaningless.”

“Haha, that’s true, comparison is meaningless, haha.”

Su Kexin became happier as she talked, and with Elder Yuan’s evaluation, plus her intuition, she became even more certain that Wu Yingge was Lin Nuo.

Right, their styles are too similar, it’s very likely him.

Have the senior sisters realized it?

The eldest senior sister said it’s unlikely to be Senior Brother.

As for the second senior sister, she seems not to move with them, and being always aloof and proud, sometimes even dismissive of everything, why would she care whether Wu Yingge is Senior Brother or not.

Going back to Tianling Mountain, seeing when Senior Brother returns will confirm it.

Because logically, Senior Brother should have returned by now. If not, where else could he have gone but here?

Senior Brother surely can’t let go of his little junior sister. He’s always been cold on the outside but warm on the inside, silently giving, and this time must be the same.

But Wu Dongmian…

Who is she? Which female cultivator is she? She doesn’t seem to be from Xuan Yun Sect.

Su Kexin thought of the key point, feeling uneasy, but she comforted herself, perhaps that was Senior Brother’s brother, cross-dressing.

But such comfort is self-defeating; there’s no reason for cross-dressing at all.

“Kexin, do you have any worries?”

Elder Yuan noticed the joy on Su Kexin’s face fade and asked.

“Ah, no, haha, I just feel that I’m not capable enough and have become a burden, haha.” Su Kexin forced a smile again.

After discussing Wu Yingge, Liu Shuqin remembered some recent events:

“Elder Yuan, I’ve heard that there have been traces of Demon Refining Sect scouts nearby. Do you think they have any intentions?”

“Hmm, Demon Refining Sect disciples, they are indeed a headache. I am indeed worried, but I will stay until Zhou Ling City’s order is restored before leaving. You can return to Tianling Mountain first, rest well, and don’t worry.” Elder Yuan stroked his beard.

At that moment, two men entered from outside, responsible for monitoring the Demon Refining Sect scouts. They were Elder Yuan’s juniors, respecting Elder Yuan, and came specially to report the situation.

“Hmm? Is there some movement from the Demon Refining Sect?”

“Yes, we’ve discovered that the disciples of the Demon Refining Sect have suddenly withdrawn.”

“Withdrawn? What happened?”

“It’s unclear, but I found out that Wu Yingge returned from the Demon Refining Sect’s temporary base. That’s a place we dare not enter lightly, yet he went in and even came back, and then the sect’s disciples withdrew.”

“Hmm? Such a thing happened?”

Elder Yuan stroked his long beard, finding it hard to believe.

……

“Thank you, Wu Yingge!”

A row of Demon Refining Sect disciples knelt on one knee, hands clasped in a fist, offering Lin Nuo their highest respect.

From noble mtl dot come

Lin Nuo successfully led Ling Meng to the organization and sent her back, shaking off those who were following them.

These disciples of the Demon Refining Sect happened to be her father’s trusted aides, safe and reliable, commanded to come and find Ling Meng’s whereabouts.

Lin Nuo gave Ling Meng some life-saving equipment, hidden weapons, smoke bombs, and the like, which could be used in an emergency.

In response to the friendly thanks of the Demon Refining Sect disciples, Lin Nuo paused, raised his voice, and addressed everyone:

“Yashi la lei! (Eat shit, you)”

Ling Meng understood this phrase; it meant “No need to be polite.”
