After Favorability Is Maxed

Leave Some Face for Your Senior Brother

Gu Feidao nodded and said in a deep voice, “So you’re a true disciple. Forgive me for my poor eyesight... May I ask if you’re Dock Master Ning’s daughter, Ning Xiangrong? The ‘Flower in the Water Moon Mirror’?”

Ning Xiangrong looked at Gu Feidao with a little surprise. She did not expect this secular man to know her. She nodded and said, “I’m here on Father’s orders to assist my two Junior Brothers.”

As she said this, she did not even look at Yue Longzhang’s body on the ground.

At the side, Ma Shu laughed awkwardly and said, “Yes ... Senior Sister Ning has humbled herself to supervise our task. I, I will first take in Senior Brother Yue, and uh, clean up.”

He squatted down and lifted Yue Longzhang’s body, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. It was clear that he had been scared out of his wits.

As for the matter of betraying the sect ... Did they not see that Yue Longzhang was still lying on the ground?

It was good to act as if nothing had happened.

“Wait,” However, Liu Yuan stretched out his hand to stop Ma Shu.

The young man, who was about 15 or 16 years old, raised his head. It was as if he did not dare to look at Liu Yuan, who had just killed someone casually. He peeked at Ning Xiangrong, who was still unmoved, and smiled awkwardly. “Senior Liu, do you have any other instructions?”

Ma Shu called Liu Yuan ‘Senior’ because of Liu Yuan’s cultivation level. He was only at the Qi Refinement stage, so there was no problem calling Liu Yuan, who had shown the strength of the Foundation Establishment stage as ‘Senior’.

His timid appearance, round face, and respectful tone made people let their guard down.

Liu Yuan looked at his face and thought that this spy from the demonic sect had good acting skills.

... At least, it was much better than Liu Yuan’s stiff and rigid performance in front of Gu Siyin.

That’s right, as mentioned before, behind Water Moon Dock, there was a demonic sect that was secretly controlling it.

As for Ma Shu, he was the scout sent by the demonic sect to the Chiyu Billa.

As for how he managed to get through this, it was naturally because the upper levels of Water Moon Dock had been infiltrated.

Liu Yuan pointed at Yue Longzhang’s corpse and said, “I didn’t give any instructions, but Yue Longzhang is good at using poison. It’s inevitable that he has some poisonous things hidden in his body. If he were to bury them normally, the poisonous things would definitely spread and hurt the mortals nearby. As his fellow disciple, you should know this, right? ”

Ma Shu’s eyes flickered, and he nodded. “I know, I know... I’ll definitely search Senior Brother Yue’s body for any poisonous substances.”

“Searching a dead person’s body?” Liu Yuan said in all seriousness. “How can Immortal cultivators like us do such an insulting thing? ”

Ma Shu looked at his righteous face and hesitated, “What... What should we do?”

“Cremate him,” Liu Yuan sighed and said.

“...”

The hall was silent.

F*ck, a body search is an insult to one’s character. Isn’t it even more insulting to burn the body? Huh?

His eyes fell on Liu Yuan as if he had seen a ghost.

Ma Shu opened jos mouth and wanted to say something, but Liu Yuan patted him on the shoulder.

Their eyes met, and Liu Yuan said earnestly, “As Immortal cultivators, we should have the heart to sympathize with mortals. Find a secluded place and leave your Senior Brother some face.”

Looking at the mortals around him, Ma Shu swallowed his words and said with difficulty, “Alright...”

Ma Shu’s face was covered in tears. Yue Longzhang was a level 8 Foundation Establishment cultivator and could naturally look down on these mortals. However, he was only a level 8 Qi Refinement stage cultivator (at least on the surface). If he was not careful, he could even be beaten up by Gu Siyin, who was a level 7 cultivator who had activated her meridians.

In this world, martial arts were able to suppress Immortal cultivators in the early stages. After the Foundation Establishment stage, the situation was completely reversed.

“Alright!” Liu Yuan retracted his hand. “You can go then.”

Ma Shu stood up and continued to walk out of the hall, supporting the body.

Liu Yuan waved his sleeves, and his spiritual power condensed into a butterfly. It fluttered and landed on Ma Shu’s shoulder. He said,”This spirit butterfly can prevent any living poison from erupting in Yue Longzhang’s body. It’ll help you block one attack. Remember to deal with it properly.”

“Illusionary Spirit Technique!” Ma Shu turned to look at his shoulder and his pupils shrank.

On the back of the spirit butterfly’s wings, there was a faint golden pattern.

Ghostface, a ring-shaped Ouroboros with its center surrounded by flames!

This was the symbol of the Saint!

Ma Shu’s figure stopped for a moment, then he quickened his pace and walked out of the door.

Liu Yuan looked at Ma Shu’s back as he left.

Ma Shu was a spy sent to Water Moon Dock by Luo Shengtian – the largest demonic sect in the south of Central Continent.

This fiend sect of Immortal cultivators believed in an eight-armed God named ‘Luo Tian’ and believed that he would descend upon the world one day, bringing destruction and rebirth.

The specific form was reincarnation.

As such, they had been searching for the whereabouts of Luo Tian.

Of course, at the same time, he also did some killing and sacrificial work, as well as developing believers.

This was hinted in a very subtle way in the plot, but it could not be hidden from the eyes of the players who played the game with a magnifying glass.

After the players had investigated the whole event at Chiyu Villa, they would naturally fight Yue Longzhang. After defeating him, Ma Shu would take Yue Longzhang and escape.

But not long after, Yue Longzhang would reappear… in the form of a puppet.

At this time, when the players checked Yue Longzhang’s status, it would show that he was a demon sect puppet. The various plots that followed also explained that it was Ma Shu who refined Yue Longzhang’s body into a zombie puppet.

Yes, this was Ma Shu’s real fighting method. His cultivation was low, but he had a rare Thick Soul Physique, which was enough for him to use his mind to control the puppets that were much stronger than him.

The mess in the hall was gradually cleaned up.

Gu Feidao, who was sitting at the head of the table, extended his hand and made a gesture of invitation. “Please take a seat.”

Gu Siyin originally wanted to pull Liu Yuan to sit beside her, but Liu Yuan shook his head. After all, this was not appropriate. The young girl could only puff up her cheeks and obediently let go.

Liu Yuan sat beside Ning Xiangrong and heard her surprised voice. “Why are you so cautious?”

Of course, he was talking about dealing with Yue Longzhang’s corpse.

Liu Yuan’s expression did not change as he replied, “I just found out that Yue Longzhang is a spy from the demonic sect. He might have left some means to pass on information to the demonic sect... Rongrong, the demonic sect is involved in the marriage. I’m afraid it’s not right.”

Fortunately, a Foundation Establishment cultivator could also transmit sound through space.

Ning Xiangrong’s fingers on the armrest moved slightly, and then she said without a change in expression, “Villa Master Gu, Yue Longzhang brought this upon himself, but blood was spilled after all. Let’s postpone the wedding date for now.”

Gu Feidao nodded. “If that’s the case, I’ll have to trouble the two envoys to stay in my humble villa for a while.”

His gaze lingered on Liu Yuan for a while, then he coughed twice and added, “Also, Mr. Jun Xuan, please forgive me for my previous neglect. From today on, you will be our distinguished guest.”

Liu Yuan shook his head. “I was seriously injured before and had no way to cultivate. It’s already very good that you let a freeloader like me stay here. Why would you blame me?”

“I’m fine with it ... But I have a small request.”

Gu Feidao coughed and raised his hand. “I’m afraid, but I’ll do my best to satisfy you.”

“Where does he live?” Ning Xiangrong turned her head to look at Liu Yuan, her eyes under the hazy white veil seemed to be glowing. “I want to live with him.”
