I’m Really Not a Big Shot - Chapter 553

[Chapter 538 Human nature]

Luo Liang stepped on the clouds and flew over the peaks of Qianqing Sect.

Senior Sister Qiao led the way in front, capable and elegant, and didn’t say much. The

apricot-robed girl Guan Qiaozhi, with a pair of bright eyes, gossiped about the things between Luo Liang and Dong Mengyao with a curious look.

“How did you know Uncle Mengyao?”

“In the main universe, a peerless genius like Uncle Luo should be extremely rare, right?”

“Fortunately, Uncle Luo, you arrived. Mengyao is in a bad situation now. The two uncles are hostile to him, and the young master of Xiushan Tianyang lineage came to take advantage of the situation to attack…”

Guan Qiaozhi chattered, looking innocent and simple.

Luo Liang smiled and dealt with it simply, without revealing any key information.

He didn’t want others to associate him with Luo Wuliang.

Fortunately, Luo Wuliang’s deeds happened in the main universe, and the news was blocked by the upper echelons of the empire. In the human clan realm, only some high-ranking forces and well-informed people knew about it.

Among the mountains.

A green mountain with a moderate height and full of spiritual energy came into view.

“Uncle Mengyao!”

Guan Qiaozhi’s eyes were bright, and she waved her hands happily, and flew over at an accelerated speed.

In front of the cave on the mountain.

A graceful fairy with skin as white as snow stood in front of the mountain, and her quiet eyes showed some expectation and surprise.

Sister Qiao looked thoughtful. It seemed that Luo Liang, her boyfriend, had a high status in Dong Mengyao’s mind, so much so that she waited in front of the mountain in person.

After greeting Sister Qiao and her apprentice, Dong Mengyao turned her clear eyes to Luo Liang, pursed her lips and smiled.

“Student Luo, is the journey smooth?”

Her delicate oriental features showed a gentle smile, and she met Luo Liang’s eyes. After

more than a year of not seeing each other, Dong Mengyao’s cultivation reached the late stage of foundation building. For a cultivator who advances slowly, it can be called a lightning speed, after all, she does not have the plug-in of organizational function.

“It can’t be said to be calm, there are a few twists and turns, which adds to the fun.”

Luo Liang said in a relaxed tone.

Dong Mengyao couldn’t help but feel worried and self-blame when hearing these words.

It’s not appropriate to let the beloved man come across the border, as the journey is difficult and dangerous.

The boundary of the human race sect is not like the civilized planets in the main universe, which are clearly ordered and monitored everywhere. In

the wilderness here, killing and robbing treasures are common.

Dong Mengyao didn’t ask in detail, but kept thinking about it in her heart, and took Luo Liang and the other two to the cave.

As the last disciple of Patriarch Dong, Dong Mengyao enjoyed a mountain with a good environment in the sect as a training ground.

“Mr. Luo actually came across the border, what a rare guest.”

Grandpa Dong was also in the cave, a little surprised, and was quite polite to Luo Liang.

To be honest.

Grandpa Dong looked at him with a new look. In Dong Mengyao’s current bad situation, it was not easy for Luo Liang to come across the border.

Even if Luo Liang was not loyal to his feelings, at least he was sincere.

“Mengyao, you should treat Mr. Luo well, and grandpa will not disturb the interest of you young people.”

Grandpa Dong is in poor health. Although he has the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, his aura is a little weak and weak.

It is said that he was injured by a hidden disease when he fought with others.

Looking at the back of Grandpa Dong, Sister Qiao’s eyes flickered.

“This Luo Liang is not a simple identity. As an elder, Grandpa Dong is very polite to him.”

After the host and the guest took their seats.

It is inevitable to mention Zhong Tianxiu who came to attack.

At present, Zhong Tianxiu is stationed at the foot of the mountain, aggressive.

“Zhong Tianxiu is too rampant! If we don’t follow the two paths he drew, would he dare to kill on the mountain?”

Guan Qiaozhi said angrily.

“Your master is still here, so he naturally dare not go too far. But if the old man passes away, the towering tree will fall, and our lineage will lose its support, and Mengyao’s situation will be bad…”

Sister Qiao looked worried.

The Zhong family of Xiushan Tianyang is much more powerful than the entire Qianqing Sect.

But the Zhong family is also reasonable, so it is reasonable for them to come to attack.

“If I stay in seclusion at the mountain gate, Zhong Tianxiu will probably not dare to act rashly. Or if I go into seclusion and avoid the world, the Zhong family will be helpless.”

Dong Mengyao sighed:

“It’s just… the lineage of the cultivation Dong family will be implicated.”

Unless Dong Mengyao is an extremely selfish person, she can ignore the impact of this matter.

The cultivation Dong family is rooted in Beiluzhou, only thousands of miles away from Qianqing Sect.

The Dong family is from this clan. At the same time, this is also the bloodline of the Dong ancestor.

“Mengyao, why haven’t you seen your father?”

Luo Liang suddenly spoke.

In the final analysis, this matter was caused by Dong’s father who was greedy for benefits and made his own decision to arrange this marriage with others earlier.

“Father… I don’t know where he is hiding.”

Dong Mengyao blushed and was embarrassed to say anything.

Luo Liang shook his head secretly, Father Dong was so irresponsible!

If he had the guts, he could go to the Zhong family to plead guilty and bear all the responsibilities alone, even at the cost of his own life.

If that were the case, the Zhong family would have no excuse to force him, at least not on the moral side.

But now. Zhong Tianxiu came to crusade, he was a well-known teacher, and people outside who didn’t know the inside story would even be inclined to him, thinking that the Dong family had brought it upon themselves.

“There are internal and external troubles.”

Luo Liang finally figured out Mengyao’s current situation.

Outside there is Zhong Tianxiu who is looking at him with eager eyes, but inside there are two senior brothers who are ambitious.

“Mengyao, your father is unreliable. For now, we can only rely on Uncle Wu to seek justice.”

Senior Sister Qiao said solemnly.

Master Wu is the elder of the outer dean of the Qianqing Sect and has a close friendship with Patriarch Dong.

“Is Uncle Wu reliable?”

Luo Liang was not optimistic.

“Master Wu is fair in dealing with matters and has a good reputation among the sect. Moreover, she and Master were once lovers.”

Senior Sister Qiao said with respect.

Dong Mengyao also said: “Uncle Wu is the person that Master trusts most, otherwise he would not entrust her to take care of me in the future.”

“That’s right.”

Luo Liang nodded slightly.

From this point of view, Master Wu is the backstage that Dong Mengyao can rely on now.

“Mengyao, why don’t we go find Senior Uncle Wu and let her make suggestions?”

Senior Sister Qiao suggested.

Dong Mengyao did not agree immediately and looked at Luo Liang inquiringly.

“You can try.”

Luo Liang had no objection.

He always believed that it is better to seek help from others than from yourself. After all, Uncle Wu is not Mengyao’s personal master. Even a close relative, such as Dong’s father, sold his daughter.

“Uncle Dong, Master Wu came to visit!”

At this moment, an outer maid hurriedly came over to report.

“Well, I have received the message from Master Wu.”

Dong Mengyao looked happy and stood up immediately to greet him with Senior Sister Qiao.

Luo Liang hesitated for a moment, fell to the back, and slowly walked out of the cave.

“Meet Uncle Wu (Master)!”

Dong Mengyao and others saluted respectfully.

A group of colorful clouds, carrying two figures, slowly landed in front of the cave.

“No need to be polite!”

Uncle Wu is a beautiful woman in her mid-thirties, wearing a maroon dress, with a round face and still charming charm. She looks kind and down-to-earth.

Behind her stood a stout middle-aged man with dark skin.

“Junior sister Dong, we meet again after a year.”

The dark-skinned and fat middle-aged man had a smile on his face, which was a bit flattering.

“Are you…Senior Brother Wu Deliang?”

Dong Mengyao was stunned for a moment and tried to remember this person’s identity.

That was when she first came to Qianqing Sect, and she met many senior brothers and nephews from her master’s lineage, but she only met this person once, and she didn’t even speak to him.

“Mengyao, Deliang is my great-nephew from the Wu family. Although he looks ordinary, he is loyal, down-to-earth and reliable. From now on, you guys should get to know each other well and help each other.” Master Wu introduced him enthusiastically.

“Yes, Uncle Wu.”

Dong Mengyao felt indescribably weird, bowed slightly and bowed to the middle-aged man “Wu Deliang”.

“Junior Sister Mengyao, you don’t have to be polite, we are all family members.”

Wu Deliang’s face was full of enthusiasm, and his small round eyes stared at Dong Mengyao, who was as elegant as a fairy, with burning heat in his eyes.

Dong Mengyao felt a little uncomfortable with this look.

However, with her beauty and temperament, she was used to the obsessed eyes of the opposite sex, so she didn’t think much about it.

“Uncle Master, please come in quickly.” Dong Mengyao was very polite.

“Could it be that…”

Senior Sister Qiao on the side looked at the dark-skinned and fat middle-aged man and couldn’t help but think deeply.

Luo Liang stood at the door of the cave and almost laughed when he heard the conversation between several people.

“Deliang is only a few decades older than you. Now he has reached the pinnacle of foundation building. There is hope for the golden elixir before he is a hundred years old. He is the only promising seedling among my descendants…”

Uncle Wu smiled and pulled Dong Mengyao’s hand led her to Wu Deliang’s side.

Wu Deliang smelled the elegant lotus fragrance on the fairy’s body, stared at the flawless snow jade face, and almost lost his mind for a moment.

“Senior Brother Deliang is indeed very promising.”

Dong Mengyao nodded with a smile and distanced himself slightly. Wu Deliang had an unpleasant sour smell.

At this time, Dong Mengyao had already noticed the other party’s intention.

This Master Wu probably wanted to “introduce” his nephew to her.

“This is…”

Walking to the entrance of the cave, Uncle Wu noticed Luo Liang, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.

“Hello, Uncle Wu! My name is Luo Liang, and I am Mengyao’s boyfriend.”

Luo Liang smiled brightly and said openly.

Mengyao’s boyfriend?

The fat, middle-aged Wu Deliang’s face suddenly turned ugly.

Luo Liang suddenly felt the hostility in the middle-aged uncle’s eyes.

“Haha! Mengyao, when did you have a boyfriend? Why didn’t you listen to your master?”

Uncle Wu quickly returned to normal, with a gentle smile and still very enthusiastic.

However, as bystanders, Senior Sister Qiao and the girl in apricot robes both felt an awkward atmosphere.

It is indeed a bit embarrassing to match someone up in front of someone else’s boyfriend.

“Luo Liang is my former friend in the main universe. Because he did not develop in the human realm, Mengyao did not mention it before.”

Dong Mengyao explained.

“It’s not in the human realm! So, you guys haven’t seen each other for a long time, no wonder I look strange.”

Uncle Wu looked at Luo Liang and gestured slightly.

She felt a little relieved.

Luo Liang is far superior to Wu Deliang in terms of talent and qualifications.

If this person was in the human realm, it would be a bit difficult to deal with. But being in two places and having a cross-border long-distance relationship, the success rate is really low.

Due to the infrequent meeting, the relationship between the two is not much better.

Inside the cave.

Uncle Wu sat at the top and started chatting with the juniors.

Because Luo Liang was present, she could no longer bring Wu Deliang and Dong Mengyao together.

The topic turned to Zhong Tianxiu again.

“Xiushan Tianyang’s lineage is more powerful than my Qianqing sect. That Zhong Tianxiu was a waste and turned into a genius, possessing moral principles. In this matter, your Dong family did not do it properly, and people will catch it…”

Uncle Wu frowned lightly Ningqi felt troubled and criticized the Dong family at the same time.

Dong Mengyao is wrong and cannot argue.

Master Wu is fair in his dealings, and it is normal for him to say this.

“On the surface, Zhong Tianxiu is seeking revenge, but in fact, he is trying to possess your beauty and plot the legacy left by your master. I will never stand by and watch this happen.”

Uncle Wu said sternly.

Hearing this, Dong Mengyao looked happy.

No matter what, this Master Wu is willing to stand on their side.

Uncle Wu is a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage, and his strength is extraordinary.

The atmosphere in the cave became harmonious.

The servant brought spiritual fruit tea.

Uncle Wu no longer deliberately brought Wu Deliang and Dong Mengyao together.

Wu Deliang, on the other hand, occasionally talked to Dong Mengyao, and even moved the futon and sat closer.

Although Dong Mengyao didn’t like this person, he was Master Wu’s nephew after all. Master Wu promised to help her again, but she could only respond politely and not be rude.

Luo Liang took a few mouthfuls of fruit and looked at Master Wu and Uncle Wu with a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth.

Before leaving.

Uncle Wu held Dong Mengyao’s hand very cordially.

“Mengyao, come out with me, and my uncle will say a few thoughtful words to you.”

Seeing this, Senior Sister Qiao and Guan Qiaozhi did not go out to see each other off.

Wu Deliang was a few steps behind, looking at Fairy Mengyao’s elegant and fairy-like figure, his mind was burning.

Wu Deliang admitted.

I am indeed not worthy of Fairy Dong. Her appearance, temperament, and qualifications are all far behind.

In the past, he could only watch from a distance and didn’t even have the courage to speak, so he couldn’t afford to climb high.

“But today is different from the past!”

“Without the help of my ancestors, you are beautiful and talented, but you are still at the mercy of others? Only by becoming a Taoist companion with me can you overcome the current difficulties and successfully succeed Mr. Dong. Let me enjoy my ancestor’s thousand-year assets with my husband.”

He was secretly proud and envisioned a bright future.

“Dare you ask Brother Wu about Gui Geng?”

A lazy young man’s voice sounded, like a plate of cold water, waking up his sweet dream.

“Wu is 70 to 80,”

Wu Deliang replied subconsciously.

Seeing Luo Liang’s half-smiling look, his old face suddenly became a little unbearable.

In terms of age gap, Wu Deliang is older than Dong Mengyao’s grandfather.

“What do you mean! What happened to seventy-eight years old? For cultivators who pursue the path of immortality, there is often no difference in the essence of life between eighteen years old, seventy or eighty years old, or seventy-eight hundred years old.”

Wu De Gao Jing seems to have been stabbed in the nerves. He becomes a little angry and argues with reason.

“The sun is blazing, it’s not time to dream yet.”

Luo Liang shook his head, turned his back and ignored him.

Wu Deliang didn’t get any fun, so he left in a huff.

After a cup of tea.

Dong Mengyao returned to the cave, the smile on her face was gone, biting her lips slightly.

“Mengyao! What did Master Wu tell you?”

Guan Qiaozhi couldn’t help asking.

“Junior Sister Mengyao, Uncle Wu shouldn’t have made things difficult for you, right?”

Senior Sister Qiao asked with concern.

“No. She just told me that Wu Deliang is a good man, honest and reliable, and worthy of entrusting her life.”

“If I am willing to be with Wu Deliang, she will protect me at all costs and help me inherit Master’s legacy.”

Dong Mengyao’s tone was low and a little disappointed.

This is Uncle Wu, whom she has high hopes for and whom Master trusts and entrusts.

Although Uncle Wu is fair, he still has selfish motives.

Her full support requires Dong Mengyao to marry Wu Deliang, which is a marriage of interests.

“This is human nature.”

As expected, Luo Liang patted her shoulders.

Uncle Wu’s implication was that if Dong Mengyao didn’t agree, she wouldn’t help so “hard”.

More than one person was eyeing the thousand-year legacy of Patriarch Dong. The Xiushan Tianyang lineage was powerful, and if Uncle Wu protected Dong Mengyao, she would have to take risks herself.

If Dong Mengyao and Wu Deliang got married, Uncle Wu could intervene openly, share a share, and eventually gain both fame and fortune.

“Student Luo, although it is my dream to seek the truth, but coming to the human race from the main universe, Mengyao suddenly regretted it…”

Dong Mengyao embraced Luo Liang, leaning her face on the boy’s shoulder, with a little crystal in her clear eyes, a sense of melancholy and loneliness.

“Your dream is right! But it is better to rely on yourself than on others! In today’s predicament, it is unrealistic to rely on outsiders. It is best to solve the problem from the root.”

Luo Liang stroked her hair and comforted her.

“Solve the problem from the root? Uncle Luo, do you have any ideas?”

Guan Qiaozhi’s eyes lit up, looking innocent and romantic.

“The reason why Mengyao is in a difficult situation now is that, in the final analysis, it is because Patriarch Dong is approaching his death and is in a weak state. Outsiders therefore see an opportunity to take advantage of it.”

Luo Liang paused.

“You mean…”

Senior Sister Qiao guessed Luo Liang’s thoughts.

“If we can help Patriarch Dong prolong his life and live a few more years, wouldn’t the problem be solved?”

Luo Liang said with a smile.

“Prolong his life?”

Senior Sister Qiao shook her head and said, “After my master escaped from the desperate situation, his soul was exhausted. Ordinary life-prolonging things were useless. We tried.”

“How many have you tried?”

“This… the natural treasures that prolong life are too rare and can only be encountered by chance. We gave Master a kind of life-prolonging pill, but it turned out to be useless.”

“You have only tried one kind of life-prolonging pill, and it must be of low quality. How do you know that all life-prolonging things are ineffective?”

Luo Liang couldn’t help shaking his head.

Senior Sister Qiao hesitated and blushed a little.

The life-prolonging pill that Master took was indeed of low quality. Just one attempt is not enough to conclude that life-prolonging things are ineffective.

“Student Luo, it’s hard to get something that can prolong life. Senior Sister has tried her best.”

Dong Mengyao said softly .

“Yeah.”

Luo Liang did not deny this, but felt that Senior Sister Qiao’s conclusion was too easy.

“I happen to have something that can prolong life with good effects. I can give it to your master to try.”

Luo Liang smiled faintly.

“Student Luo, is this true?”

Dong Mengyao’s eyes flashed with surprise.

“I wonder what Mr. Luo’s longevity thing is? How sure are you?”

Senior Sister Qiao asked bluntly.

She had consulted a master in the sect, and ordinary longevity things had no effect on the master.

It is difficult to find a panacea that can effectively prolong the life of the ancestor Dong in the entire human race.

Therefore, she had come to that hasty conclusion before.

She did not have much confidence in the longevity thing that Luo Liang said was “effective”.

“At least 50% sure. What exactly is the longevity thing, Luo will keep it secret for the time being.”

Luo Liang’s tone was more confident, and he looked mysterious.

The life-extending item he mentioned was the thirty years of life that the golden fishing rod had taken from Zhong Tianxiu, the “Son of Luck”.

The power of fishing was so strong that the quality should be guaranteed.

These thirty years of life were indeed useless to Luo Liang.

But for people whose life span is approaching, such as Patriarch Dong, it is the light of dawn in the darkness and can be called a priceless treasure!

“50% sure?” Senior Sister Qiao was a little surprised, and naturally she didn’t believe it.

Luo Liang was still 50% sure after knowing about Patriarch Dong?

I don’t know if this guy is conceited or if he is really confident.

“Senior Sister Qiao, I believe in Classmate Luo.”

Dong Mengyao said firmly.

In my impression, Mr. Luo has created many impossible things.

“Okay, let’s go see Master! Even if there is only 1% hope, it’s still worth a try.”

Senior Sister Qiao’s eyes flashed sharply and she made a decisive decision.
