Beauty and the Bodyguard

As the bespectacled doctor said, they had discovered the faint poisonous gas in their bodies. This shocking discovery was enough to dispel their joy. They would never have thought that such a terrible and troublesome poisonous gas would be left after eating it, even though they had already found an appraiser and the results showed that there were no poisonous substances in it!

They didn't know that this was a combination of the most advanced technology in the secular world. It would be a miracle if they could identify it with just the conventional identification methods of the ancient underworld.

"What does your Excellency want?" Chen Dongcheng and Lu Ping 'an were a little flustered. Their strength had skyrocketed, but the price they had to pay was to carry poisonous gas. This was equivalent to selling themselves alive. No matter who it was, they would not be happy. They would only be in a panic.

"It's nothing much. Don't worry, although the poison can't be eliminated, it won't act up in the short term. Even if it takes a long time, as long as you take the antidote regularly, it can be effectively suppressed. There won't be any problems. " The bespectacled doctor said lightly.

The two of them looked at each other. These words did not make them feel much more at ease. Instead, they were even more frightened. The more stable the poison was, the more reliable the other party's control was. What exactly did this mysterious person want?

"Still not at ease?" The bespectacled doctor looked at their expressions and smiled. He comforted them,""I've said my purpose from the very beginning. We have a common enemy, so I need you two to join our organization. As for the strength of our organization, I believe there's no need to say more. You should have a deep understanding of it. As I said before, as long as you two cooperate well, I can make you two nascent soul old monsters in a very short time!"

Previously, Chen Dongcheng and Lu Ping 'an had subconsciously treated these words as a fantasy story, but it was different now. With the medicinal pills as a Foundation, they believed this without a doubt!

On one hand, there was the temptation of a Yuanying stage old monster, on the other hand, there was the threat of an inexplicable poisonous gas. In the face of this carrot and stick, no one would have a second choice.

"Alright, I'll join!" Chen Dongcheng made the first decision.

"I'll join too!" Lu Ping 'an did not want to fall behind.

"Very good. With the two of you working for us, it will be much more convenient for us to do things in this small Jianghu of the immemorial era. It's like adding wings to a Tiger. Congratulations!" The mysterious man was overjoyed.

Although these two people's surrender was completely within his expectations, he was still very happy. After all, if central wanted to truly gain a firm foothold in the immemorial small Jianghu, they had to rely on the local Aboriginals. These two people were the top leaders of the North Island's Green cloud sect. Whether it was in terms of experience, connections, or influence, they were far from ordinary people. Even if they had escaped from the North Island's Green cloud sect now, their role was still not small.

"This subordinate will do his best and sacrifice his life!" Both of them were smart people. Since they had already come this far, they adjusted their mentality very quickly, so that no one could find fault with them. However, only they themselves knew what kind of thoughts they were holding in their hearts.

"Good. You two have just broken through not long ago. You need to cultivate and stabilize your realms. I believe you will have good news after a while." The bespectacled doctor laughed.

"What good news?" Chen Dongcheng and Lu Ping 'an looked at each other curiously.

"You'll know when the time comes. " As he said this, the professor's gaze fell on the unconscious Chen Jiu. To him, the joining of Chen Dongcheng and Lu Ping 'an was not the biggest gain. The biggest gain was the Grand Elder of the Qingyun school on the North Island. The key to mass-producing nascent soul old monsters in the future would all fall on this guy.

Three months passed by in a flash.

To Xu Xiaodong, this was a special day because her most valued direct disciple, Leng Leng, had come out of her closed-door cultivation. After a few months of closed-door cultivation, Leng Leng had successfully crossed the barrier between the foundation establishment stage and the Golden core stage. She was now a true early golden core expert!

As a master, Xu Xiaodong was only at the early golden core stage. Now, she was actually tied with her own disciple. According to the sect's rules, they would be on equal footing in the future. If it were anyone else, it would be inevitable for them to feel a little embarrassed. But Xu Xiaodong would not. On the contrary, she felt very proud of it!

In a mere one and a half years, Leng Leng had gone from an early Foundation Stage disciple to an early jiedan stage expert. Such an amazing performance, even if it couldn't be compared to Xue Jianfeng 's, it was still shocking. No matter who taught such a disciple, he would be extremely proud.

Not only that, with Leng Leng's talent and all the pills Lin Yi gave her, she could return to her previous state of rapid breakthrough after breaking through the huge barrier of golden core. Other people would need decades or even centuries to go from early golden core to peak golden core, but for Leng Leng, even without the modified pills from Zhong Xin, she didn't need that much time.

Perhaps in a few years, the snow sword sect would have another expert in the great circle of the Golden core stage.

However, before the master and disciple could say a few words, a familiar but disgusting voice interrupted them. It was Xue Jianfeng.

"Oh, you've finally come out of seclusion. It looks like you're already in the Golden core stage. This is rare." Xue Jianfeng walked towards the two of them with an evil smile on his face. It was obvious that he did not come with good intentions.

Leng Leng and her master, Xu Xiaodong, looked at each other. They couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. Ever since this fellow's legs had been crippled by Bing Wuqing in public, it hadn't been long before his father, Xue Liping, had sent him out to seek medical treatment. There had been no news of him for a few months. They didn't expect him to appear again today.

This matter was strange from the very beginning. Logically speaking, with the injuries on his legs, the doctors in the snow sword sect might be able to treat them. Even if they didn't have the ability, they could at least give it a try. There was no need for him to go out and seek medical treatment, let alone stay outside for a few months.

Seeing that the two of them did not respond, Xue Jianfeng did not take it to heart. He walked closer and reached out his hand to touch Leng Leng's cheek. He continued to smile evilly,""Tsk, tsk, it's only been a few months since we last met, and Junior Sister has become even more beautiful. I feel pity for you. I originally wanted to continue investigating your past deeds, but I've changed my mind. As long as you know how to correct your mistakes, I can let bygones be bygones. How about it?"

"Lost path?" Leng Leng's figure retreated to avoid the other party's lecherous hand. She had now advanced to the Golden core stage. Even if she was only in the early stage of the Golden core stage, she was at least on the same level as the other party. She would definitely not be able to defeat him, but she would not be resigned to her fate.

"That's right, I'll make you realize that following Lin Yi was a huge mistake, and you'll regret it for the rest of your life. I'm being merciful and giving you a chance to stop at the edge of the cliff, so you better know what's good for you," Xue Jianfeng sneered as he continued to press forward.
