Chapter 33 - Side Combo

Chapter 33 Side Combo

Bai Lian was actually not interested in the big news Tong Yao mentioned.

She was more concerned about how to stop this future “Lord Nether King Hall” from spreading her “great achievements” for a while.

Beat the other party up?

With Bai Lian’s current strength, she could easily beat this alcoholic loli who was on par with her not long ago until she was left moaning and paralyzed on the bed for a few days.

But this was very risky.

Bai Lian had to ensure that she was stronger than Tong Yao at all times. Otherwise, she might be the one who ended up getting screwed.

What was even more helpless was that Tong Yao’s biological father was the current Nether King Hall Master. His strength was not weaker than An Lan, who was always lazing around.

Bai Lian didn’t expect this master who wanted to see how she died to stand up for her at the critical moment.

Indeed, she still had to rely on deception.

“You said that Shen Xiangling wants to test my true strength. There’s nothing to worry about. Let her do it!”

After Tong Yao finished talking about a bunch of stuff, Bai Lian sat in front of the table and smiled, appearing calm.

So powerful!

Tong Yao was almost stunned.

This was the Senior Sister Bai she admired the most.

Tong Yao, who was used to living a bitter life when she was young, currently had the greatest dream of becoming a strange woman like Senior Bai who was both strong and smart!

She secretly compared her poor figure with Bai Lian’s figure in her heart. She was 1.4 meters tall. Her central area was a standard plain terrain. If she wanted to have Senior Sister Bai’s proud appearance, it would simply be very difficult.

Tong Yao snorted. “I knew that Senior Sister Bai didn’t take that Shen Xiangling seriously. The funny thing is that many people in the sect actually think that you’re not Shen Xiangling’s match. Looks like I didn’t work hard enough!”

She had to work harder!

However, it was worth celebrating that everything she had done so far was not in vain.

More and more people realized how powerful Senior Sister Bai was.

“Junior Sister Tong.”

Bai Lian’s expression suddenly became serious.

“Eh?”

Tong Yao looked at Bai Lian in confusion.

Bai Lian was examining the new mission that had just popped up.

[Mission 1: Encourage Tong Yao and let her exaggerate even more! (Mission reward: Spell – Cloud Shearing)]

(Mission 2: Ignore it and let her do whatever she wants (Mission Reward: Seal of the Ancient Emperor)]

[Mission 3: Persuade Tong Yao to be more humane. Tell her that if she continues to be like this, she will die (Mission Reward: Low-grade Dharma artifact, Heavenly Wolf Hook)]

Just as she had guessed, Tong Yao was a troublemaker.

Look, there was not a single mission that was safe!

Actually, it made sense after thinking about it carefully.

If Tong Yao publicized it so openly, it would definitely cause some people in the sect to be unhappy with her.

Moreover, in a few storylines of “Battle of the Gods”, Tong Yao, who had never been slapped, had repeatedly put on a good show of “justice destroying Senior Sister” after discovering “Bai Lian’s evil deeds”.

“I choose…”

Bai Lian fell into hesitation.

Mission two was directly ignored by her. She still planned to do something.

Moreover, the reward of the Seal of the Ancient Emperor was flashy but not practical. Although the name was domineering, she could only use it to dig for treasures in the later stages of the game. She didn’t have the patience. Mission three seemed to be safe, but she was worried that the bored Tong Yao would jump out to be a publicity warrior again. Then she would have worked for nothing today.

In the end, Bai Lian still chose Mission 1.

Cloud Cutting Water wasn’t a particularly high-level spell, and it was quite compatible with her current strength. This meant that if Tong Yao increased her strength, things wouldn’t be that bad.

Moreover, Bai Lian, who was a tactical master, thought of a new strategy!

These days, she concluded and realized that there were two types of system missions.

The first type was more like a prompt, limiting every word she wanted to say. The second type was more open-ended, where she could “freely” play around the theme.

Bai Lian decided to give it a try and let Tong Yao also promote others while promoting her. This way, the number of people jealous of her would greatly decrease. Moreover, she would have still done what the system told her to do as she did not really “go off topic”.

She can do it!

“Junior Sister Tong.” Bai Lian sighed. “I’ve seen everything you’ve done. To be honest, I’m very touched, but…”

Tong Yao frowned and said, “Senior Sister Bai, are you telling me not to continue?”

“No!”

Bai Lian said firmly.

Tong Yao was stunned. Then what was this twist?

Bai Lian explained, “I know you’re doing this for the sake of the Immortal Du Sect (as if). But for the harmonious development of the Immortal Du Sect, I think you have to pay attention to the way you’re doing it.”

Tong Yao asked Bai Lian humbly, “Do you want me to include the usage of drums?”

Damn it!

Bai Lian shook her head solemnly. “I mean, you shouldn’t only promote me. You have to promote your fellow disciples whose names are on the Green Flower Ranking and the Jade Hero Ranking.”

“Why… Howl!” Tong Yao’s eyes lit up. “I understand!”

What exactly did she understand?

Tong Yao nodded and smiled. “Senior Sister Bai, you want me to collect evidence of them doing bad things and then ruthlessly ruin their reputation, right?”

It was a little despicable, but it wasn’t a big problem for Tong Yao. She liked it.

This girl did not understand what Bai Lian was telling her at all!

Bai Lian wanted to punch Tong Yao, but she still endured it and said righteously, “No, I’m asking you to promote them head-on. For example, Senior Brother Gong Juren’s strength is outstanding, Senior Sister Chen Lu is kind… Make sure everyone is taken care of. This way, no one will be jealous and the harmony of the Immortal Du Sect won’t be destroyed!”

“That group of idiots. They’re not strong enough, but they actually dare to be jealous of you, Senior Bai?”

How shameless!

Tong Yao was very angry.

She wondered if Senior Sister Bai’s brain had water in it. Why would she praise her opponents for no reason? The cultivation world was very ferocious, and one was simply courting death by acting like a saint.

Tong Yao planned to persuade Senior Sister Bai.

Just as she was about to speak, a thought flashed in her mind.

Something was wrong!

Senior Sister Bai was so smart, so it must be her who was mistaken. Then why did Senior Sister Bai let her promote Senior Brother Gong Juren and the others?

“I understand!”

Tong Yao felt that she had grasped the correct answer.

The news of Senior Brother Gong Juren being scared away by Senior Sister Bai had long spread. She wanted to promote Senior Brother Gong Juren’s power at this time because she wanted to indirectly promote her own power!

This was her strategy all along! So that was the case.

Tong Yao’s body trembled violently.

“Too impressive.”

As expected of the natural saint, Senior Sister Bai, the other party easily thought of a method that she couldn’t think of.

This… this was only a sideshow!

Tong Yao looked down at her chest. The difference between her and Senior Sister Bai was far greater than the difference between the plains and the mountains.

Thinking of this, she excitedly grabbed Bai Lian’s hand. “Senior Sister Bai, I’ll do it! i’ll do it now!”

Bai Lian replied, “Alright, Junior Sister Tong, it’s good that you understand!”

She thought that she would have to spend more effort to get this matter done, but she didn’t expect Tong Yao to be so unexpectedly cooperative that she did not even need to rely on the speech she prepared to use to persuade her.

Tong Yao let go. “The sooner the better. Senior Bai, I’ll copy the Green Flower Ranking and the Jade Hero Ranking now!”

Then, she turned and ran.

[Mission completed. Mission reward spell — Cloud Cutter)

Bai Lianxin looked at the mission reward in satisfaction. Unlike the Butterfly Dance with the hallucinatory effect of the mountain, the Cloud Cutting Water was an attack-type spell.

She looked up at the night sky and felt that the moonlight was really beautiful tonight.

After packing up the table, Bai Lian went to the herb garden to feed the rabbits.

A figure standing beside the cold pool attracted Bai Lian’s attention.

“Why are you here?”

Bai Lian frowned slightly. This depressed appearance was pretty.

“Heroine Bai doesn’t seem to welcome my arrival.”

The one who spoke was the Holy Maiden, Shen Xiangling, who had been chatting with Bai Lian in the square for a while not long ago. Her tone sounded light, but her expression was unprecedentedly serious, as if something big was about to happen.

Bai Lian shook her head. “No, I’m just very puzzled as to how the Holy Maiden managed to break through the mountain defense array of Qiong Ming Peak.”

Shen Xiangling said, “You’ll know when you take a look at the communication jade slip.”

Bai Lian followed his instructions. The news on the jade slip was from Sect Master Jue Yunzi.

She was stunned when she read it.

On the jade slip, Jue Yunzi said that he had personally let Shen Xiangling in because Shen Xiangling wanted to challenge her.

[There’s no need to hide your strength this time. Let the Holy Maiden of the Azure Sect see the true strength of our Immortal Du Sect!)

Bai Lian wanted to cry.

The Holy Maiden of the Azure Sect was at least at the peak of the Golden Core realm, and her current strength only allowed her to fight a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator to a draw.

Could it be that the other party couldn’t wait for her to die?

Where’s her master?

Oh, her master also wanted her to die faster… It didn’t matter then.

The only thing Bai Lian could rely on was Jade Rabbit, but the problem was that she didn’t sign a contract with Jade Rabbit. She really might not be able to order Jade Rabbit around.

As expected, new mission options appeared in front of her.

[Mission 1: decisively admit defeat (Mission Reward: Nine Forging Scripture)]

[Mission 2: Fight bravely. A real warrior dares to face the dripping blood! (Mission Reward: Spirit Grass Thunder Sprout)]

[Mission 3: Ignore Shen Xiangling (Mission Reward: High-grade artifact, Autumn Water Sword)]

The minimum reward was a high-grade Dharma artifact.

“I?!

Ha ha ha…

When she saw the reward for Mission 2, Bai Lian’s laughter gradually became impudent.

She didn’t have any weapons so the enemy gave her one.

She was saved!

She calmly picked up the bored Jade Rabbit in front of Shen Xiangling. “Do you want to eat the Thunder Sprout?”

“Ji ji?”

The little rabbit’s eyes widened.

Bai Lian said, “Help me chase her away.”

The rabbit’s ears immediately pricked up.

Upon hearing this, anger rose in Shen Xiangling’s heart. “Bai Lian, what do you mean?”

Bai Lian’s expression was calm. “Defeat it to prove that you have the strength to challenge

me!”

“Is this how you treat guests?”

Bai Lian said, “You’re an unwanted guest!”

Shen Xiangling took a deep breath. After being angry to the extreme, she miraculously calmed down.

In the end, Bai Lian still left a mark in her heart.

If it were her, her attitude probably wouldn’t be any better than Bai Lian’s.

“Alright!”

Shen Xiangling agreed.

It was just a rabbit that couldn’t speak human language. It was not possible for her to lose!
