I’m Really Not a Big Shot - Chapter 263

[Chapter 254 Rejection]

Xiao Fengzhou paid close attention to the discussion between Luo Liang and Qiu Xiong.

He became more and more certain that Luo Liang must have lost the battle with Lan Feiling that day.

The great elder instructed him to explore Lan Feiling’s tone and find out more information about Luo Liang. Unfortunately, Lan Feiling was not interested in mentioning the details of that day’s competition.

But one thing is certain.

Lan Feiling’s level 3 time and space mage’s strength is absolutely superior to Qiu Xiong’s. Luo Liang lost to Qiu Xiong in several competitions.

“Level 2 professional fights to level 3. Luo Liang can do this, he can be called a genius.”

Xiao Fengzhou, as the number one genius of his generation in the Xiao family, had to admit that his qualifications and potential were not as good as Luo Liang’s.

Xiao Fengzhou didn’t understand why the elder paid so much attention to a young man himself.

In order to ensure the accuracy of the information, Xiao Fengzhou planned to try it himself.

“Luo Liang, why don’t we also compete?”

Xiao Fengzhou took the initiative to find Luo Liang by the medicine pool.

Luo Liang glanced at him: “Your strength is slightly better than Qiu Xiong, I think it’s better to forget it.”

Xiao Fengzhou was not surprised by Luo Liang’s refusal.

To promote the absorption of medicine, it is best for both parties to have similar strengths.

Luo Liang was reluctant to compete with Qiu Xiong, let alone him.

There is another possibility. Luo Liang had a prejudice against him, and his sect’s power was at odds with the great elder and the Xiao family.

“Otherwise, I will suppress my cultivation by 20 to 30%, making it even weaker than Qiu Xiong, so that you can absorb the power of the medicine.”

Xiao Fengzhou’s handsome and soft face has dimples, giving it a feminine feel.

Luo Liang was almost seduced by this guy’s smile and thought he was a beautiful woman.

“You would be so kind to help me absorb the power of the medicine?” Luo Liang looked lazy and had a mocking tone in his tone.

Xiao Fengzhou said honestly: “You and Qiu Xiong had conflicts before, but now we don’t know each other without fighting? What’s more, it’s just a misunderstanding between us. We are discussing friendship and letting go of grudges with a smile. Why not.”

Luo Liang felt happy in his heart.

Xiao Fengzhou’s excuse seemed reasonable.

But this guy didn’t know the hostile relationship between himself and Xiao Qiantong, so he fought against him indirectly.

“Okay, since you are so ‘kind-hearted’, it would be a bit unwise for me to refuse.”

Luo Liang reluctantly agreed.

Xiao Fengzhou felt happy.

The two found an empty arena and began to compete.

Xiao Fengzhou is a fighter by profession and had narrowly defeated Qiu Xiong before.

On the stage, the two fought back and forth, but Luo Liang was not obviously suppressed.

Xiao Fengzhou suppressed his fighting spirit to 70%, and his overall strength was slightly inferior to Qiu Xiong.

Moreover, Xiao Fengzhou did not seek to defeat Luo Liang, but tried to extend the fighting time while giving him a certain amount of pressure.

Xiao Fengzhou wants to find out more about Luo Liang in a longer battle.

I heard from people on the top of the mountain that Luo Liang seemed to have a second career.

Luo Liang had a rough guess about Xiao Fengzhou’s behavior, and he definitely had no good intentions.

In this case, Luo Liang will not show mercy.

During the battle and collision, he quietly used the [Crush] feature of the sledgehammer to control spirits.

The power of the [Crushing] trait was gently and gently transferred into Xiao Fengzhou’s body.

It penetrated into his internal organs and bone marrow bit by bit…it was extremely damaging.

This kind of use of power can be called “micro-management” and is very obscure.

Xiao Qiantong himself couldn’t notice it.

If it was just a one-time sparring session, it would leave some hidden problems, but it would not be serious.

If they had sparred a few more times, Xiao Fengzhou would have been basically useless.

This depends on Xiao Fengzhou’s enthusiasm and frequency of discussing with Luo Liang.

Destiny is still in Xiao Fengzhou’s own hands.

On that day, Xiao Fengzhou had two discussions with Luo Liang. During the battle, he put pressure on him from time to time, trying to force out Luo Liang’s second career ability.

…

The fifth day of the Medicine King Bath has been completed.

Luo Liang and Dong Mengyao returned to Cangwuju hand in hand.

“Student Luo, on the fifth day, the effect of the medicinal bath has declined significantly.”

Dong Mengyao said.

Luo Liang nodded and said: “In the next two days, the effect will only get worse. Unless you go to the center of the Medicine King Pool.” After

soaking in the medicinal bath for five consecutive days, all the guests felt that the efficacy of the medicine had declined significantly.

The first three days have the largest profit, accounting for about 70% of the effect.

Most people have achieved the desired results.

These days, there are hundreds of geniuses who have broken through in Canglian Mountain.

Some of those who have not made a breakthrough are at level 3 cultivation; others may have made a breakthrough recently and will make another breakthrough after taking the Medicine King Bath.

For example, if Dong Mengyao completely absorbs the effects of the Medicine King Bath, he will definitely be promoted to level 3 cultivator when he returns.

Luo Liang’s income is higher than everyone else.

His warrior cultivation level is not far away from the intermediate level 3.

Once the Medicine King Bath is over and all the potential is completely absorbed, a breakthrough will be a certainty.

“I won’t go to the public pool. Anyway, I am sure of a breakthrough, so there is no need to be too hasty. It is better to polish the foundation.”

Dong Mengyao’s eyes are clear and peaceful, and she has a firm will and a clear plan for the way forward.

Luo Liang felt relieved.

He has no objection to his woman’s struggle and cultivation.

Just imagine if your girlfriends all become powerful stars, or even supreme beings in the universe.

Not only does Luo Liang not have to carry a bottle of oil, but a group of beautiful bodyguards can also protect him at critical moments.

His life will naturally be more comfortable and worry-free.

Back at Cangwu Residence, the two of them had just sat down.

Dong Mengyao received a call.

“It’s Gongsun Qin calling.”

Dong Mengyao glanced at Luo Liang, smiled happily, and chatted in the yard for a while.

These days, Dong Mengyao and Gongsun Qin have been interacting with each other a lot.

The two women have a very good conversation, and their thoughts and values are relatively consistent.

Dong Mengyao learned cooking, flower arrangement, tea ceremony and other talents from Gongsun Qin.

Hang up the phone.

Dong Mengyao was very happy: “Brother and sister Gongsun are going to visit the house today. This time it is my turn to show off my cooking skills.”

Luo Liang had no objection to this.

The Gongsun brothers and sisters were of noble birth, with high character and quality, plus handsome men and beautiful women. It was a pleasure to associate with such people.

“By the way, classmate Luo. When Gongsun Qin chatted with me the last two times, she mentioned one thing. She was interested in your method of staying in the center of Yaowang Pond.”

Dong Mengyao thought of this and said a little embarrassedly.

This matter was entrusted to her by Gongsun Qin.

“What she means is that if you can help conveniently, you will be paid sincerely. If it’s disrespectful or privacy is involved, don’t force it.”

Dong Mengyao added.

She considered that Luo Liang had the initiative in this matter and there was no loss in mentioning it, so she agreed to help with the message.

“Why is Gongsun Qin so obsessed with improving the ‘Medicine King Bath’? A traditional and reserved girl like her, she even doesn’t hesitate to enter the public pool…”

Luo Liang asked doubtfully.

Dong Mengyao sighed and briefly explained Gongsun Qin’s current situation, including the rules of the Gongsun family.

Gongsun Qin confessed his feelings to Dong Mengyao.

Gongsun Qin’s life experience made Mengyao feel the same and inevitably sympathize with him.

From childhood to adulthood, everything in Mengyao’s life has been clearly arranged by her family.

Its core purpose is to consider the overall situation and interests of the family.

“So that’s it.”

Luo Liang said with emotion: “If a daughter of a noble family like Gongsun Qin does not have the potential to advance to high-end combat power, she cannot control her own freedom of life. Political marriage is an established fate.”

In fact, this situation is considered good. .

As a super family, the Gongsun family can at least choose to take the route of high-end combat power.

Gongsun Qin is weak and his aptitude is not top-notch. The Medicine King Bath was just her last resort.

“I’m going to prepare the ingredients first.”

Dong Mengyao floated away.

She did not ask Luo Liang if he could help.

This is Luo Liang’s freedom. No matter what decision he makes, Mengyao will not object.

…

7 p.m.

The Gongsun brothers and sisters arrived as promised.

Tonight, Gongsun Qin was carefully dressed and had her hair styled into an antique hundred-flower bun.

The girl has eyebrows like indigo, a face like jade, and slightly reddish cheeks. She is wearing a long red dress with a hem that stretches to the floor. It not only shows the aristocratic manners of a wealthy family, but also has a gentle and elegant classical beauty.

Gongsun Hao is dressed in white, with red lips and white teeth, a face like a crown of jade, and a gentle and noble temperament.

Luo Liang greeted the Gongsun brothers and sisters politely with a smile on his face.

Dong Mengyao prepared tea, fine wine, and seven or eight plates of exquisite dishes.

“Brother Luo’s suggestion last time was truly astonishing. We, brother and sister, would like to give a small gift on behalf of the family.”

Gongsun Hao handed over a gift box.

Luo Liang did not refuse and accepted the gift box.

Last time, he gave the Gongsun family some reasonable suggestions regarding the intelligence information about the “Bore Zerg”.

I believe that after these days, the market will respond.

The news about the Borer Clan is under strict seal, but very few people in the Freedom Alliance know about it and have made a series of arrangements and layouts.

The price of resource props that are restrained against the Borer Zerg has skyrocketed.

The current news has not yet been exposed, but the prices of related resources and props have increased by more than 50%.

Once it is exposed, neighboring countries will be on guard, people will panic, and the price may increase several times to ten times.

“How did the Gongsun family gain?” Luo Liang said with a smile.

Gongsun Hao said regretfully: “We reported it to the family. Unfortunately, the senior leaders of the family have different opinions and the decision has not yet been made. The related resources and props have increased a lot. When we were ready to sell, it was difficult to acquire them on the market.”

“Gongsun Hao After all, our family is a super aristocratic family. It is not a matter of life and death, so it is understandable that we are slow to make decisions.”

Luo Liang was not surprised by this.

He is just an unknown boy. The Gongsun family is willing to accept opinions and hold discussions, which is already a great honor.

Not every person at the helm can make decisive decisions.

The Song Consortium and the Daqian royal family must have moved faster because they received accurate information and cooperated with divination deductions.

Most of those resource props are relatively unpopular and have few stocks.

Once they seize the opportunity, if the forces behind them want to take action, they will not be able to share much benefit.

The two sides brushed off this topic and talked about some topics such as humanities, history, and the pattern of the universe.

The Gongsun brothers and sisters were surprised to find that Luo Liang talked about the pattern of the universe and even some anecdotes in the heavens. His conversation was witty and he was very knowledgeable.

And they often have unique insights and hit the nail on the head about the essence of some things.

As a direct descendant of a super aristocratic family, Gongsun Hao felt inferior.

Gongsun Qin’s clear eyes moved, and his impression of Luo Liang changed again.

Perhaps Luo Liang is the kind of talent who is cynical and bohemian on the surface, but actually has a lot of troubles in his heart.

The strong foresight that Luo Liang gave to the Gongsun family is evident.

After three rounds of drinking.

The four people on both sides drank a lot of wine.

During this period, Gongsun Qin took the initiative to toast Luo Liang twice, and Luo Liang also toasted her twice.

“Classmate Luo, let me propose another toast to you.”

Gongsun Qin’s slightly pale face was stained with a bright red as blood, and paired with her quiet and graceful appearance, it was a stunning contrast.

This is Gongsun Qin’s third toast.

Luo Liang knew her intentions.

Gongsun Qin’s thoughts have been relayed to Dong Mengyao, so he didn’t mention them deliberately tonight.

“I heard Mengyao mention it about Senior Gongsun.”

Luo Liang paused.

Gongsun brother and sister and Dong Mengyao all looked at Luo Liang.

Dong Mengyao agreed more with Gongsun Qin and instinctively hoped that Luo Liang could help Gongsun Qin if he was not in trouble.

Gongsun Hao said: “Brother Luo stayed in Yaowang Pond for five days, and I think the effect of the medicine is already very poor. If you can help my sister, I can offer you the conditions.”

The Gongsun brothers and sisters had guessed that Luo Liang was at the middle level of level 2. The way to stay in the central area may be protected by special treasures. It is unrealistic to rely solely on physical strength and special methods.

But now, five days have passed since Yao Wang’s bath, and there are two days left. Even if Luo Liang is still in the core area, his income is very low, and he can completely use it to help Gongsun Qin.

That’s why the Gongsun brothers and sisters came to visit today.

“Yes, in the last two days, I stayed in the core area, and the medicine was less effective.”

Luo Liang did not deny it.

The Gongsun brothers and sisters’ eyes lit up with anticipation.

“But.”

Luo Liang’s next turning words made the three people present feel their hearts sink.

“My method involves privacy and is not suitable for Senior Gongsun.”

Luo Liang’s answer was rejection.

In an instant, the Gongsun brothers and sisters looked dazed.

Gongsun Hao’s face showed disappointment, and Luo Liang’s answer sealed the road.

Involves privacy.

If you ask again, you will be forcing yourself to do something difficult.

Gongsun Qin was lost in thought, his face as beautiful as jade, pale with a hint of drunken red, reflecting a touch of sadness.

Finally, a hint of bitterness appeared in the corner of her mouth, and she returned to a quiet and calm expression.

Perhaps, at this moment, Gongsun Qin accepted the reality and completely gave up struggling.

That was her destined fate.

Luo Liang’s refusal was not actually a lie.

He can indeed help Gongsun Qin.

For example, the core area medicine king liquid obtained by Luo Liang from cutting leeks has a greatly reduced physical endurance after leaving the medicine pool. It does not have the high temperature of baking in an alchemy furnace, which can be used soothingly by Gongsun Qin.

In fact, Luo Liang is willing to contribute, and there are many ways to solve the problem in the organization, including Gongsun Qin’s weak physical problem.

But Luo Liang didn’t think it was necessary.

In the final analysis, Gongsun Qin and Luo Liang are not related, so there is no need to reveal some of his secrets to her.

Although Luo Liang admires her beauty, he has no special feelings and no plans to conquer her.

Even if he didn’t mind the trouble and helped, he would at most win Gongsun Qin’s gratitude, but he wouldn’t let her commit herself to him.

…

Gongsun and his sister returned disappointed.

The last two days of Yaowang Bath passed by in a flash.

Many guests from various countries and different planets are about to embark on their return journey.

Take these two days to rest. .
