Chapter 1149: Impersonating My Taoist Companion
"Is this true? Such a high bounty? Who exactly is this cultivator named Lu Chen? Why is he so highly valued by Yao Chi Holy Land?"
Everyone was talking about it, full of curiosity and confusion about this name that suddenly appeared.
"The news is definitely correct. It is said that this matter has spread like wildfire throughout the entire Cang Qiong Tianyu. As for the specific reason, no one knows."
Someone spoke with certainty, as if he was the source of the news.
“To be worth 100 million high-grade immortal crystals, then this cultivator named Lu Chen must have unfathomable cultivation, otherwise Yao Chi Holy Land would not have made such a big fuss.”
Some people speculated that, after all, such a high reward must be because this cultivator was extremely powerful and posed a huge threat to the Yao Chi Holy Land.
"Then you are wrong. It is said that this cultivator named Lu Chen is only at the early stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. Many people regard him as a walking immortal crystal.
Moreover, the Yaochi Holy Land has also published his portrait. You see, I have a copy here."
As he spoke, the man took out a portrait from his arms and showed it to the people around him.
Hearing this, Lu Chen's heart suddenly tightened. Although he had changed his appearance, the uneasiness in his heart could not be calmed down.
Fortunately, he made changes in time, otherwise he would have been exposed by now.
However, this luck did not let him down. He knew that he had to be careful with every step he took, as any mistake could lead to his downfall.
As the team gradually moved forward, Lu Chen's mood became increasingly heavy.
Just as he was about to enter the teleportation array, he suddenly discovered that there were several monks in front of him holding an ancient bronze mirror and checking the monks passing by one by one.
The bronze mirror emitted a faint light, and seemed to contain some mysterious power.
Lu Chen suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Could it be that this bronze mirror could see through his disguise?
Since practicing Chaos Dao Sheng Jue, Lu Chen has believed in this mysterious perception without a doubt. And many times, because of advance notification, he was saved from danger.
Sure enough, after observing carefully for a while, Lu Chen confirmed his guess.
Some of the monks who were illuminated by the bronze mirror looked normal and passed smoothly;
Others were forcibly stopped and subjected to more stringent inspections.
Obviously, this bronze mirror has the ability to identify disguises, and any monk who tries to get away with it will be exposed.
At this moment, Lu Chen was in a dilemma. If he continued to queue, he would probably be seen through by the bronze mirror and his identity would be exposed. He did not dare to take this risk lightly.
But if he gave up the teleportation array, how would he leave the Sky Realm?
After a brief and intense inner struggle, Lu Chen finally decided to leave first.
So he decisively left the team and walked towards a remote corner of Gusu Fairy City.
At this moment, Lu Chen, with a solemn expression, knew that he had fallen into a dangerous situation.
But years of training experience have taught him that the more critical the moment, the more he must remain calm.
Therefore, he did not flee blindly, but chose a large spiritual building as a temporary stay.
After entering the Lingxi Building, Lu Chen found a quiet corner and sat down.
Looking through the window, the teleportation hall in the distance was still crowded with people, as if nothing had happened.
However, Lu Chen knew that beneath the calm there were undercurrents, and a bigger storm was about to come.
Sitting in front of the window, he listened to the conversations of the monks around him while seriously thinking about his next response.
Just as Lu Chen was lost in thought, a beautiful figure suddenly sat down opposite him uninvited. Then she said:
"Fellow Daoist Leng Feng, I didn't expect it was really you. I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing recently, Fellow Daoist Leng Feng?"
After hearing this, Lu Chen pulled his thoughts back to reality, then looked at the person who came in astonishment, thinking:
"How could it be her? This woman is really haunting me."
But he showed surprise and said, "It's Miss Lin. It's been a long time."
That’s right, the person who came was Lin Miaoyin, the eldest daughter of the Lin family in Zixiao Realm, who regarded Lu Chen as the culprit who caused the destruction of her family.
"Fellow Daoist Leng Feng, I would have died if I hadn't been with you last time at Fangcun Mountain. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have the chance to thank you. Today, I will use tea instead of wine to thank you properly."
After Lin Miaoyin finished speaking, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured herself a cup of fairy tea.
Seeing this, Lu Chen did not pick up his teacup, but looked at Lin Miaoyin suspiciously, which made the latter feel embarrassed.
"What's wrong with this woman? According to her usual self-righteous style, she would never lower herself to thank me just because I saved her. Could it be..."
With such speculation, Lu Chen immediately said bluntly:
"Miss Lin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I like to be straightforward. If you try to hide something, I will get angry."
When Lin Miaoyin heard what Lu Chen said, she looked even more embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, she gently put down the teacup in her hand, her eyes revealing a bit of helplessness and pleading:
"Fellow Daoist Leng Feng, you are a smart man, so I will not beat around the bush. To be honest, I came to you this time not only to thank you for saving my life, but also to ask for a favor."
Lu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, signaling the other party to continue.
"Recently, a cultivator named Yuan Shizong has been pestering me. Not only is he from a famous family and very powerful, but his methods are also quite despicable. It is really difficult for me to get rid of him."
Lin Miaoyin smiled bitterly and said, "No matter where I go, he follows me like a shadow, making it difficult for me to have peace of mind."
Lu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, obviously surprised by the news. "Then why did you come to me? Do you want me to help you get rid of him?"
Lin Miaoyin nodded slightly to show her agreement. However, the moment she nodded, a cunning light flashed across her eyes like a meteor.
"That's right," Lin Miaoyin said softly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice, "I hope you can pretend to be my Taoist partner so that he will give up."
When Lu Chen heard this, he almost spit out the tea he had just drunk. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Miaoyin in disbelief, as if he had heard the most ridiculous thing in the world.
After a long while, Lu Chen finally came to his senses and stammered, "Miss Lin, you...are you kidding? We have only met once!
Besides, if the news of pretending to be a Taoist couple spreads out, it will have a great impact on our reputations! Besides, why did you have to look for me? "
Lin Miaoyin seemed to have expected Lu Chen to have such a reaction. She quickly explained, "Brother Leng, I know this matter is indeed very abrupt, but I really have no other choice."
She spoke faster, as if she was afraid that Lu Chen would refuse immediately. "First of all, your strength is very strong, enough to make the person who has been pestering me feel timid; secondly, you saved my life last time in Fangcun Mountain. I believe you will not stand by and watch me die."
Having said this, Lin Miaoyin paused for a moment, and then continued: "As long as you agree to help me with this, I will definitely reward you handsomely afterwards."………………
