Phi-Fic Chapter 559 Guo Zhixi's Arrival
Chapter 559 Guo Zhixi's Arrival
On this day, Lin Ping did not appear in the forbidden area as promised, which made Mao Shikeng and the others somewhat anxious.
"Why hasn't this guy come yet? I wonder what he's going to do to me today?" Mao Shikeng was only looking for a beating and waited expectantly.
It wasn't until noon that Lin Ping sneaked out from the back mountain.
"Lin Ping, where have you been? You've been sneaking around like that, you must be up to no good." Mao Shikeng politely reprimanded him, which had become his way of greeting Lin Ping.
"Senior brother, what are you doing here?" Lin Ping was startled and seemed somewhat absent-minded.
What Lin Ping did is not important, where Mao Shikeng is is not important, and the upcoming contest is even less important.
"Ouch, my arm is broken! Senior sister, please save me!" Mao Shikeng cried out in pain as he was being rubbed on the ground.
"Lin Ping, you've assaulted your fellow disciple again! Come with me to my room to receive your punishment!" Jiang Yunying stormed out, having memorized the lines perfectly.
"Can we skip today...?" Lin Ping chuckled and tried to evade the question.
At this moment, he deeply understood a truth: youth does not know the value of love, old age brings only tears to one's eyes when longing for one's wife.
If this continues, he'll be completely drained.
"No!" Before Jiang Yunying could reply, Mao Shikeng angrily said, "You made a mistake, so you should be disciplined by your senior sister."
"Can I tell him the truth?" Looking at Mao Shikeng's simple and honest face, Lin Ping couldn't bear it.
If he knew the truth, he would probably want to smash his head against a brick wall.
Lin Ping was still dragged into the room by the ear by Jiang Yunying, and then she did another series of actions as fierce as an old dog.
"Wife, your husband is incredibly handsome. Aren't you afraid that Guo Zhixi will steal him away?" Lin Ping asked again.
"Would my husband go with her?" Jiang Yunying asked rhetorically, clearly another question that could cost her her life.
Lin Ping thought for a long time before continuing, "My wife, let's go. Let's leave Lotus Palace. We can go anywhere, to the ends of the earth, or even back to Jiangcheng. I'll accompany you wherever you want to go."
Faced with Lin Ping's sincere gaze, Jiang Yunying was stunned for a long time, and her nose tingled, and she choked up a little.
"My husband, I'm sorry, I've let you down."
Seeing Jiang Yunying constantly blaming herself and shaking her head, Lin Ping's heart broke.
"Why? Why can't you come with me? As long as we are of one mind, there is no difficulty that we cannot overcome. This mere Lotus Palace cannot confine your husband."
He admitted that his martial arts skills were not good enough to defeat the many masters of the Lotus Palace, but he possessed the mind of a modern person, and could bring about earth-shattering changes to the entire dynasty by casually revealing a little knowledge.
Considering all this, the Lotus Palace is really nothing to fear.
“My aunt is a mid-stage expert in the Red Lotus Realm; even the Palace Master has to give her some leeway. Her senior brother’s strength is even more unfathomable…”
Jiang Yunying only spoke halfway through her sentence, clearly not wanting to discourage Lin Ping.
"So you think that no matter where we run, we can't escape their grasp? Our fate is destined to be controlled by them? But I'm not convinced."
Lin Ping said angrily, a sense of helplessness rising within him once again.
He once thought that he was at the mercy of others because he had no military power. Now that he has become the Grand General of the Wu Kingdom, second only to the emperor, he still cannot control his own destiny.
Money and power are external things; only strength is the only true reliance.
At this moment, the desire to become stronger swelled in Lin Ping's heart.
That's right, he decided to develop a sniper rifle...
No matter how talented he is, he cannot possibly match the experts of Lotus Palace in a short period of time.
Instead of practicing swordsmanship day and night, it would be better to develop weapons of mass destruction as soon as possible.
With a sniper rifle in hand, I have the world at my fingertips.
At that time, he will no longer be afraid of Luo Shaoyin or Senior Brother.
No matter how many experts they are, they can be killed at will, and how many they kill depends entirely on their mood.
Lin Ping knew that Jiang Yunying was protecting him, so he didn't say anything more.
As a responsible man, he will not make any promises without absolute certainty.
Although he cannot change his future fate, he can make the most of the life he has now.
"Wife, let's start another game. This time I'm going to get a pentakill."
Lin Ping grinned slyly, ignoring his exhausted body.
Filled with resentment, Lin Ping beat Mao Shikeng until his face was bruised and swollen the next day.
"Lin Ping, you've bullied your senior brother again. Come with me to the room to receive your punishment." Jiang Yunying covered her face, feeling that the lines were too formulaic.
"I'm willing to take on the task of disciplining my junior brother for my senior sister." A light voice rang out, startling everyone, and their expressions varied.
Mao Shikeng was overjoyed and shouted loudly, "Second Senior Sister, you must stand up for me! This brat bullies me every day!"
Jiang Yunying frowned and secretly gave Lin Ping a wink.
The expressions of the two men were relatively normal, but Lin Ping looked as if he had been struck by lightning, staring at the other man with his eyes wide open, almost popping out of their sockets.
"Junior Brother Lin Ping, am I pretty?" Guo Zhixi smiled faintly at Lin Ping, her words carrying multiple meanings.
Lin Ping's stunned expression made it seem as if he was staring at Guo Zhixi, which could easily be misunderstood, and no one knew the fear in his heart.
They were not only familiar with each other, but also had a significant grudge. If Guo Zhixi exposed his identity, Lin Ping would be doomed.
"It looks good," Lin Ping stammered, his mind already racing with fear.
"Compared to my senior sister, who's prettier? Don't say anything wrong, okay?" Guo Zhixi giggled, her tone full of threat.
Lin Ping's mind went blank for a moment, and he cursed a hundred times in his heart, "You ugly freak, how dare you compare yourself to my wife?"
But he dared not say that, because if he could not satisfy Guo Zhixi, his identity might be exposed.
"Are you a junior sister who just arrived on the mountain? When did Master take in such a young disciple?" Lin Ping had a strong survival instinct and dared not offend either side, so he could only forcefully change the subject.
"It seems Senior Sister Yunying hasn't mentioned me to you? My name is Guo Zhixi, and I'm your second senior sister. You'd better remember that from now on, because I might call you into my room for interrogation quite often!" Guo Zhixi said in a serious tone.
She wasn't in a hurry to make Lin Ping comply immediately, since they were both disciples of the same sect and there would be plenty of time in the future.
Seeing Lin Ping's conflicted expression, Guo Zhixi felt genuinely pleased.
Although Guo Zhixi did not immediately expose Lin Ping's identity, he was even more terrified.
The other party is no saint; she's only keeping Lin Ping's secret for now so he'll behave and she'll tease and humiliate him tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
"Senior sister, why don't we go and teach junior brother a lesson together?" Guo Zhixi said seductively, her eyes fixed on Lin Ping, as if she wanted to steal his soul.
"It's over, it's over, my happy life with my wife is over." Lin Ping shook his head repeatedly.
