Chapter 296: Dignity
Chapter 296: Dignity
"Uh...Uncle Master! I am Lu Chen! Have you forgotten? This jade token was given to me by Elder Hong Fu.
I held this jade token and stayed in your Shennong Sect for more than two years, Uncle Master! Do you remember it?"
When Lu Chen saw that he had revealed his identity, but Master Qingxu still looked as if he didn't know him, he became very anxious and quickly reminded him.
I prayed in my heart: "Big Boss! Please don't forget me! I risked my life to reveal my identity to you. If you pretend not to know me, then I'm doomed, right?"
Lu Chen looked at Master Qingxu awkwardly, waiting for him to express his opinion. At this time, a breeze blew by, and Lu Chen felt a chill, and his heart was pounding.
At this time, True Man Qingxu looked at Lu Chen coldly, then raised his hand, and an invisible energy force attacked Lu Chen as fast as lightning.
"Ah..." Lu Chen, who was hit, screamed immediately and his body flew backwards uncontrollably. The long sword under his feet lost the support of true energy and instantly fell to the ground with Lu Chen.
Lu Chen, whose body was falling at a high speed, felt his blood churning in his body, and he felt dizzy and as if his bones were about to fall apart. In just this one blow, Lu Chen was seriously injured.
Subconsciously, he took out a ten thousand year old stone marrow vitality pill and swallowed it. At this time, a figure flew over quickly, and Ling Manyu caught Lu Chen steadily.
Feeling the softness in the beauty's arms, Lu Chen smiled with relief.
"Thank you!" Lu Chen smiled, feeling not alone. His hands unconsciously wrapped around Ling Manyu's slender waist.
"I'm glad you're okay. If anything happened to you, I wouldn't live in this world," Ling Manyu said sincerely.
"Hmph...what a pair of dogs," Lin Zhiping snorted coldly when he saw Lu Chen being held in Ling Manyu's arms. He felt uncomfortable as if a fly had been eaten.
Fortunately, Master Qingxu had no intention of killing Lu Chen, otherwise, with his powerful strength, Lu Chen would have no chance to breathe.
Under the powerful medicinal effect of the Ten Thousand Year Stone Marrow Vitality Pill, Lu Chen quickly recovered from his injuries.
His spiritual sense controlled the magic sword that had already fallen to the ground, and the sword flew back to Lu Chen's feet quickly with a stream of light.
Lu Chen, who was flying his sword and stopped in the air again, looked at Master Qingxu with a cold expression. Although he was angry, he did not let his anger cloud his mind, otherwise he would not know how he died.
"Brother Lu! What should we do next?" Ling Manyu asked in a low voice.
"Don't worry! I will take care of it," Lu Chen gave Ling Manyu a reassuring look.
Then it seemed as if he had made a difficult decision.
Lu Chen was seen kneeling on the magic sword in mid-air, and said with a serious expression:
"Uncle Master! I know I deserve death, but even ants try to survive, so I am afraid of death.
I have no intention of destroying your temple today. Please, uncle, spare my life for the sake of Elder Hong Fu and let me leave with Manyu.
I will remember this kindness in my heart. If I have the chance in the future, I will do my best to repay my uncle for his kindness today..."
True Man Qingxu is now Lu Chen's only lifeline, so Lu Chen can only beg him to let him go.
"Brother Lu!" Ling Manyu felt very uncomfortable seeing her beloved man kneeling and begging others in front of her.
To be honest, Lu Chen rarely begged others in this life and the previous life, and he had never knelt down to beg like he did today.
In my previous life, because we lived in a society ruled by law, not asking for help would only mean living a more isolated life, but there would be no danger to my life.
But in this life, in this world of cultivation where people kill without blinking an eye and kill at the slightest disagreement, sometimes dignity is really not that important.
Because of the Golden Bead World, Lu Chen has always been smooth sailing. Even if he encounters any crisis, he will immediately hide in the Golden Bead World.
It is no exaggeration to say that if there were no Golden Pearl World, Lu Chen himself would not know how many times he had died.
Now that he is surrounded, it is impossible for Lu Chen to abandon Ling Manyu and ignore her, so he can only put aside his damn face and dignity, hoping to get a chance to take Ling Manyu away safely.
After Lu Chen finished speaking with sincere emotion, he still knelt in the air, as if he was a prisoner awaiting trial, waiting for the reply from Master Qingxu.
After a long time, a casual voice sounded:
"You can leave! But she has to stay."
The one who spoke was True Man Qingxu.
Hearing this, Lu Chen smiled bitterly. Ling Manyu was now his woman. If he left alone and left her alone in Shennongmen, Lu Chen would really be worried given Lin Zhiping's character.
So I asked:
"Uh...Uncle Master! Can I take Manyu with me? After all, she is my wife now."
"Hmph!" True Man Qingxu did not answer, but snorted coldly, obviously disagreeing with Lu Chen's idea.
Lu Chen wanted to try again, but Qingxu Zhenren's eyes suddenly became sharp, which made Lu Chen feel scared.
He stopped talking helplessly. He looked at Ling Manyu apologetically, not knowing how to start again.
"Hehehe...Brother Lu! Why don't you just leave first? Since the Sect Leader intends to keep me, there must be a reason for that. Besides, I don't want to be a burden to you."
Ling Manyu said sympathetically.
"I..." Lu Chen was speechless for a moment when he heard this. He didn't know what to say, and a look of self-blame appeared on his face.
"Brother Lu! Don't worry! I will take good care of myself. When you have a breakthrough in your cultivation, you can come to Shennong Gate to pick me up."
Ling Manyu said with a forced smile.
At this point, Lu Chen knew that no matter how hard he tried, he could not change the facts. He could only blame himself for being too weak. He said a simple goodbye to Ling Manyu.
Lu Chen turned around and bowed deeply to True Man Qingxu. After taking another reluctant look at Ling Manyu, he prepared to fly away on his sword.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came to his ears. After listening to it, Lu Chen's eyes lit up and then he showed a relieved smile.
After paying respect to Master Qingxu again, Lu Chen flew away on his sword.
Wherever he went, the disciples of Shennong Sect made way for him, and he soon disappeared into the horizon.
After Lu Chen's figure disappeared, Ling Manyu finally couldn't bear the pain of separation in her heart and shed silent tears.
On Piaomiao Peak, True Man Qingxu had an idea and transmitted his consciousness to many disciples. After hearing it, everyone flew away on their swords.
Seeing that Lu Chen was let go so easily, Lin Zhiping was very dissatisfied with the actions of Master Qingxu, but he had no choice.
He was thinking about how to regain his lost face from Ling Manyu.
As the head of the branch, Lin Dahai arranged for people to rebuild the destroyed tower. He also invited head of Qingxu to continue inspecting other situations of the entire branch...
