Chapter 306: Who’s Afraid of Slacking Off? (2/12)
Qu Yang was a cultivated person, who loved music passionately, excelled at playing the zither, and became close friends with Liu Zhengfeng of the righteous sect due to their shared love for music.
Gradually, over time.
Their bond deepened.
Even Qu Feiyan became best friends with Liu Zhengfeng’s daughter.
This matter naturally couldn’t be hidden and was discovered by others.
When Liu Zhengfeng found out, he chose to leave Jianghu, living as a wealthy man, so that his friendship with Qu Yang was no longer a matter for those in Jianghu.
Unfortunately.
He was naive, overestimating the honor of the righteous sect.
Many players even came to warn him, yet Liu Zhengfeng ignored them, viewing players as spreading false rumors, making mountains out of molehills, and deceiving the public!
When disaster actually struck.
Liu Zhengfeng’s regrets came too late.
After Qu Yang rescued Liu Zhengfeng, they fled together.
But due to players currying favor with the Mount Song Sect, their whereabouts were continuously leaked, leaving them with nowhere to hide.
In this regard,
Ding Ling understood well.
Players are driven by interests; they come to this world to learn martial arts. Whoever can teach them Martial Arts Secret Manuals and Inner Power Heart Methods, they will follow and aid.
It was entirely possible to switch allegiance from Liu Zhengfeng to the Mount Song Sect instantly.
Not even considering those players who always sided with the Mount Song Sect from the beginning.
With so many players leaking information,
Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were practically like bones in a grave, constantly threatened with extinction.
In her anxiety, worry, and despair, Qu Feiyan suddenly thought of Ding Ling, who was skilled in martial arts, brimming with Righteous Qi, and fearless of the Huashan Sect’s influence.
She had only met Ding Ling once.
Having no confidence to persuade him to help, she anxiously went to the Escort Agency branch to find Ding Ling, hoping for assistance.
Unexpectedly, she saw Ding Ling delivering a palm strike that almost killed Fei Bin, the Mount Song Sect master known as the Great Songyang Hand.
"...That’s the situation."
Qu Feiyan finished speaking, looking at Ding Ling with hope, fear, anxiety, and embarrassment.
Her expression was complex and changing.
Clearly, her Heart Lake must be turbulent, difficult to calm.
She hoped Ding Ling would agree to help, yet feared rejection. Embarrassed to beg for help after only one encounter, she truly felt ashamed and uneasy, but in this unfamiliar Earth Realm,
The family of Liu Zhengfeng, the ones she knew best, was nearly wiped out.
After much thought.
Ding Ling was the only one who could help her, so she shamelessly asked, but even after speaking, still felt guilty, not daring to face Ding Ling directly, just glanced at him before quickly lowering her head, twisting the hem of her dress, seemingly unaware, her charming, jade-like face growing increasingly confused.
"Alright."
As soon as Ding Ling uttered these two words.
Qu Feiyan felt disheartened, instinctively stood to leave, prepared to rescue people alone.
But Ding Ling’s next sentence, "Lead the way. We go now!" filled her with joy, hardly believing her ears.
She boldly raised her head to look at Ding Ling, her eyes slightly reddened:
"Ding, Hero Ding Ling, you, you..."
"Just call me Ding Ling, hero sounds distant."
Ding Ling smiled slightly, patted Qu Feiyan’s head:
"Let’s go. Don’t waste time, so as not to delay matters."
He was already adversaries with the Mount Song Sect, with no chance of reconciliation, so he took the opportunity to eliminate a batch of them.
Thinking of this, Ding Ling walked to the side, picked up a bow and arrows, stepped into the courtyard, and whistled.
Neighing!
Two Ferghana Horses galloped over.
When they arrived close.
Ding Ling leaped up, landing on a horse’s back, and looked at Qu Feiyan:
"On the horse."
"Oh, oh."
Qu Feiyan, brave and daring, sharp-tongued, seemed flustered facing Ding Ling and responded dazedly, instinctively using Lightweight Body Technique and flew onto the horse Ding Ling rode, reaching out her delicate hand to clasp Ding Ling’s waist.
Ding Ling paused.
His intention was for Qu Feiyan to ride the other Ferghana Horse!
However, since Qu Feiyan was already in this position, he couldn’t ask her to dismount, so he let her lead the way.
Qu Feiyan naturally had no objection.
Clip clop, clip clop!
The Ferghana Horses stepped out of the courtyard, ran through the branch’s front gate, speeding forward in the direction Qu Feiyan pointed.
Regarding the Mount Song Sect people.
Ding Ling originally thought: handle secretly, don’t let the righteous sect discover.
But now the Mount Song Sect openly slaughtered righteous sect people’s families!
Not involving innocents is something many Demon Sect members know.
Would the Mount Song Sect not know?
Yet they did it.
Showing their audacity, arrogance, and recklessness!
In that case.
Ding Ling wouldn’t play coy.
He’ll directly butcher them!
However, to be on the safe side,
Ding Ling still disguised himself en route, also disguising Qu Feiyan, truly getting seen at the time, he’d simply deny being Ding Ling, claim ignorance of the situation.
Although Mount Song Sect wouldn’t believe this, thinking Ding Ling regarded them as fools.
Ding Ling’s action was mere surface work, ensuring Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect had no excuse to attack him.
He would not admit it.
What could Shaolin Temple do?
As Ding Ling thought:
"If they present all kinds of witnesses and evidence? Useless, I’d say witnesses lied, evidence stolen by a thief. What could they do to me?"
To deal with shameless folk.
Be shameless in return.
Ding Ling was like this in the Three Kingdoms World too.
Facing righteous and kind people, he reciprocated with kindness.
Facing vile and shameless ones, Ding Ling became shamelessly audacious too!
Who fears whom?
Feigning ignorance, competing on the same level, who couldn’t do it?!
"Even if Shaolin Temple decides I’m the culprit, labels me as a demon head, I won’t fear. My aim is to delay time. Given enough time, I’ll become the world’s number one master! If strong enough, suppress the world; who would dare speak a word? I’d beat them till they’re unrecognizable!"
Ding Ling’s habitual approach is to charge ahead.
Not play tricks with anyone!
He possesses this capital and potential, Divine Skill Automatic Full Level Cheat isn’t a joke.
Clip clop, clip clop!
Ding Ling disguised as a rugged, bold warrior with a beard.
Qu Feiyan disguised as a hideous girl with facial moles.
Their facial features remained, ensuring acquaintances could recognize, undoubtedly hard to hide from many.
Ding Ling’s main goal was merely to cover it up, deny throughout, thus not worrying much.
"Right there."
Outside the city.
Galloped swiftly for tens of miles.
Qu Feiyan pointed to a forest’s direction:
"Inside there. My grandpa previously took Eunuch Liu to hide and heal in there. Uncertain if still inside."
"Let’s go check."
Ding Ling dismounted, activated Four Great Breathing Techniques, Middle Yuan Nine-section Skill, deployed Ten Thousand Miles Solo Lightness Skill, pulling Qu Feiyan towards the forest’s direction.
