Chapter 248 Attitude Matters
Faced with Lu Jin's desolate appearance, Li Muyang was helpless. He couldn't very well lie to her that Wu Gensheng was still alive, could he? Should he then let Lu Jin chase after something with a vague and unrealistic goal?
I'm not kidding, but the news from heaven and earth confirms that Wugensheng is indeed dead!
The feud between Lu Jin and Wugensheng is something that only Lu Jin can get over. Li Muyang originally didn't want to get involved, but seeing the old master Lu's conflicted look, he couldn't bear it. After all, the old master Lu was a good person, and so was Li Muyang.
Lu Jin had been suppressing his feelings for too long. He had been fair to others, so when it came to Wugensheng, it became a lifelong inner demon for him. He just wanted to act recklessly, and the two sides had to fight to the death.
Now that both Li Muyang and Zhang Xuanlin, the two "divine calculators," have declared that Wugen is dead and unwilling to continue to harm Yangchi, Lu Jin's true thoughts and future plans are extremely complex.
Afterwards, Li Muyang found Zhang Xuanlin.
"Principal, what do you think?" Li Muyang asked directly.
Zhang Xuanlin leisurely took a sip of tea: "I'll sit and watch!"
Li Muyang's lips twitched: "What about our relationship? Aren't you going to do anything about Old Master Lu?"
Zhang Xuanlin remained expressionless: "To be honest, I don't want to get involved in this matter. I have a good relationship with both Lao Lu and Lao Feng. If you insist that I choose one of them, aren't you putting me in a difficult position?"
"Besides, when Lao Lu asked me to predict Wugensheng's whereabouts back then, I told him that Lao Feng was dead, but he didn't let it go. A few days ago, he asked me to predict it again, and the result was still the same. This time, he asked you to predict it again, and the answer was that Wugensheng is dead. What can I do?"
Li Muyang said with a resentful look in his eyes, "So it really was you who told Master Lu that I also have the art of divination and consulting the heavens!"
Zhang Xuanlin coughed awkwardly, "Ahem, sorry, I just said it offhand."
"And another thing! What kind of divination and questioning of the heavens is that? Isn't that just using the power of heaven and earth to write little notes, stuffing the questions into the heavenly way, and asking for answers from Him? Who does divination and questioning of the heavens in such a crude way?"
Li Muyang said righteously, "Just tell me, wasn't I asking the heavens? I was indeed communicating with heaven and earth!"
"Ah, right, right, right!" Zhang Xuanlin nodded vigorously, his lips twitching. What else could he say?
Young people really know how to have fun! He's ultimately out of touch with the times!
"How about... you go to Nathan Island, bring Li Muxuan back, and let Lu Jin vent his anger?" Li Muyang suddenly said with a wicked smile.
Enraged, Zhang Xuanlin smacked Li Muyang on the forehead three times: "What kind of terrible idea is this?! Doesn't Old Li's life matter? This kid is family, how can you betray him like this?"
Li Muyang covered his head and complained, "I'm not from this world... cough cough! Fine, then I have no other choice! I give up?"
"Mind your own business!" Zhang Xuanlin rolled his eyes.
However, Li Muyang, who had been grinning, suddenly became serious and asked earnestly, "So, Principal, what's next about Elder Tian?"
Zhang Xuanlin's expression also froze for a moment. He remained silent, his expression shifting between pain, melancholy, anger, helplessness, and pity, finally settling into a long, helpless sigh: "Alas..."
"You brat! Can't you just play dumb? Can't you pretend you don't know? Don't you know there's a way to die called knowing too much?" Zhang Xuanlin slapped his thigh in exasperation, but he didn't hate Li Muyang for being talkative; he hated his own incompetence.
Because he can't tell the difference either!
Li Muyang said directly, "In short, if you don't want anything to happen to Elder Tian, Erii and I will stay by his side for the next few days."
Zhang Xuanlin glanced at Li Muyang with a complicated expression, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Can you protect him for the rest of your life? Besides, if something happens to you while you're protecting him, you won't be able to escape responsibility!"
"Then I'll go and kill Gong Qing right now!" Li Muyang said coldly.
On the other side, Gong Qing, who was serving tea and water, suddenly felt a chill run through his body. Someone wanted to harm me!
“Killing a Taoist boy on Longhu Mountain, Immortal Li, you have quite the power!” Zhang Xuanlin shook his head self-deprecatingly: “How could I let you do such a thankless task? If you really do it, no matter what the reason, you will be completely at odds with the Celestial Master’s Mansion! These things have nothing to do with you in the first place… Never mind, don’t worry about it.”
Li Muyang nodded. What he really wanted was Zhang Xuanlin's words, or rather, his attitude.
As someone in the know, I can't just sit idly by! I have to at least make my stance clear! Doing nothing would be a mistake! Especially since Zhang Xuanlin also knows that Li Muyang is aware of what's about to happen!
Even if people don't say it, who knows what they're thinking? It's inevitable that resentment will arise.
Anyway, it's just a casual mention. Even if he really had to ask Li Muyang for something, he would be willing to do it and do his best.
If it can't be completed, then there's nothing more to say; even human strength has its limits.
The main focus is on flexibility and versatility!
And one more thing!
"Huh? What is this?" Zhang Xuanlin looked at the jade talisman that Li Muyang took out with a puzzled expression. He took it and activated his magic power, but it turned into a golden scroll.
"The Daoist scriptures created by the Daoist deity from another world," Li Muyang explained. "Could you please take a look at them for me?"
Zhang Xuanlin closed his eyes and meditated on the scriptures for a long time. After opening his eyes, he exclaimed, "No matter which world the teacher is from, his works always seem to have extraordinary insights!"
"The cultivation system of this Taoist scripture seems to be different from ours, but we can still learn from each other. Each level is solid and meticulous, leaving no room for error. It truly has the style of a teacher. Even I have gained a lot from comprehending it!"
After some contemplation, Zhang Xuanlin's aura became noticeably more mysterious. He returned the Daoist scripture to Li Muyang and continued, "Following the instructions in the text should be fine. You shouldn't need my guidance on your comprehension, right? You seem to still have the aura of the Bodhi tree on you."
Li Muyang nodded with a forced smile. In fact, his main purpose in showing Zhang Xuanlin the Daoist scripture was not just to let Zhang Xuanlin see it, but to try to see if he could unlock more of the seals on his body.
It seems to have some effect.
Zhang Xuanlin naturally understood this meaning and was somewhat speechless. To put it bluntly, Li Muyang was a little worried about Zhang Xuanlin's future situation, and having more support meant having more insurance.
Even the most powerful immortal, once their power and memories are sealed, Zhang Xuanlin is just a mortal with some supernatural abilities.
Well, it can be considered a way to maintain relationships.
After discussing cultivation with Zhang Xuanlin for a while, Li Muyang left the room to see Daoist Wang Ye off down the mountain.
Ai and Erii came along too, since they were going the same way.
"Contact me if anything comes up," Li Muyang said succinctly.
Wang Ye sighed helplessly: "If I could, I really wouldn't want to see you all!"
"According to Murphy's Law of Conservation, the more you don't want to see us, the more likely you are to see us," Ai said seriously, only the slight upturn of her lips revealing that she was actually suppressing a laugh.
Wang Ye ┗( T﹏T )┛: You must think you're really interesting, right?
"Haha! Things didn't go as planned~" Li Muyang smiled nonchalantly and waved goodbye to Wang Ye.
Wang Ye walked halfway down the mountain, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Aren't you going down the mountain yet?"
Li Muyang shrugged and said, "Well... it's hard to say."
"Be careful," Wang Ye reminded him.
Li Muyang nodded. It was definitely better to be cautious!
Most of the various factions have now left Longhu Mountain. Those who remain are either from the Quanxing Sect or are preparing to trap them like turtles in a jar!
After that, Li Muyang went to see the two wounded.
Zhang Lingyu and Zhang Chulan.
Actually, Zhang Chulan was fine; he was just exhausted.
Zhang Lingyu's injuries weren't too bad. Li Muyang controlled the intensity of the seventh sense in the White Emperor Ring, so Zhang Chulan didn't unleash much more power than Zhang Lingyu.
The problem is, both of them are still nominally bedridden.
Zhang Chulan took the opportunity to rest, while Zhang Lingyu, at the Old Celestial Master's suggestion, lay down for a while longer.
Li Muyang stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Zhang Chulan, who was lying on the bed eating and drinking, and Zhang Lingyu, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation. How could he not understand what was going on?
It must have been Zhang Xuanlin's idea!
In a sense, Li Muyang stole the opportunity that the two people originally had, so he has to make amends!
At the same time, this also serves to distance Li Muyang from the affair involving Lu Jin and Tian Jinzhong.
As for outsiders like Li Muyang, Heaven naturally doesn't care much; it's none of its business. But the problem is, the Management Bureau has policies to deal with him! Zhang Chulan isn't in a big problem; after all, he was still the champion in the end. It's just that Li Muyang stole the limelight. As for Zhang Lingyu, the lack of the Tongtian Talisman has a huge impact on him!
Even if Li Muyang gave him the Tongtian Talisman now, this kid would most likely not want it! He would feel unworthy to accept it!
Then we'll have to find another way.
"Gentlemen, I have a method here. Can you help me conduct an experiment?" Li Muyang said to Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu with a mysterious and meaningful smile. "I want to see what kind of Stand you can awaken."
The two people: Huh? What is that?
It's understandable that Zhang Lingyu hadn't heard of it, but how could Zhang Chulan, a socially awkward college student, not know? He's a manga fan!
"How exactly do I do it?" But Zhang Chulan didn't ask why; instead, he directly asked how to do it.
Li Muyang waved his hand: "You don't need to do anything, just feel this power and don't suppress it."
The two nodded and sat cross-legged.
Li Muyang stretched out his hand, and two orbs of light surged into the space between their eyebrows, immediately putting them into a state of enlightenment.
After a long while, two figures flew out from their respective bodies.
Li Muyang stared at the two body doubles, momentarily dumbfounded, then gave a wicked smile and said, "Holy crap?"
Zhang Chulan is alright, but Zhang Lingyu... his substitute is actually a pink-haired guy!
The junior master opened his eyes and, upon seeing the pink-haired man on the other side of the stand-in, immediately blushed and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Li! It's not what you think!"
Li Muyang nodded calmly: "It's okay, I know what you're thinking. The image of a body double reflects the most genuine thoughts in one's heart. It's normal, I can understand!"
Zhang Lingyu opened her mouth, her face flushed, but she gave up trying to explain.
Even he himself didn't believe what he was about to say!
