Chapter 896: Ling Chuxi’s Wise Decision
Even though they had laughed about it briefly, the Su family disciples still acknowledged his cultivation strength.
“Mister Lu, are you returning to the Celestial Sect?” Ling Chuxi had been a bit put off by Lu Chengfeng before, but now she only felt pity for him. Since they were going to the Celestial Sect, he might as well go with them.
“I want to stroll around and relax first.” Lu Chengfeng was too embarrassed to remain in the Golden Pill Sect now. Thinking that news of his ‘glorious accomplishments’ might have reached the Celestial Sect, he thought he would just be ridiculed by others if he returned, so he did not want to return to the Celestial Sect either. For a moment, he did not know where to go, and his gaze was melancholic and lost.
“Mister Lu, when experts exchange blows, it is common to win or lose. Even top legendary experts of the Sacred Realm of Sects have tasted defeat. With Mister Lu’s strength, if it weren’t for Wei Zhixuan being this shameless, how could he have been your opponent? Don’t be too worried about this incident.” Ling Chuxi saw that Lu Chengfeng had been very traumatized after losing that one battle and couldn’t stand seeing him this vulnerable and fragile. After all, Lu Chengfeng was a guest of the Golden Pill Sect, and it was for the sake of the Golden Pill Sect that he had fallen to this state. Ling Chuxi felt it somewhat unbearable to watch. If she couldn’t heal his mental trauma, let alone his cultivation, in his current state, it would be a problem even living for a few more years.
“Although that was the case, I did lose very badly.” Lu Chengfeng said with a wry smile, no longer caring about his reputation. He had been aggrieved by this matter in his heart and he couldn’t find solace. With Ling Chuxi’s enlightenment, despite not totally figuring it out, his sadness had been somewhat lifted.
“You can’t be blamed. Who would have thought that Wei Zhixuan, that despicable villain, would use his ultimate move as soon as he started?” Ling Chuxi continued to comfort him.
“Yes, Mister Lu. When we martial artists spar, we should be learning from each other. This should be the focus of martial arts. How could someone desperately use his ultimate skill on the first move? Being so aggressive like that, how was he any different from a thug at the marketplace? You are a gentleman warrior, but Wei Zhixuan is a villain through and through. If I were the one who had faced him, I would have been defeated too, so why bother about this matter?” Su Yizhi understood Ling Chuxi’s intentions and said in agreement.
“Well… it seems what you all say contains some truth.” Lu Chengfeng thought for a while and admitted. He used to spar with others, unconcerned about his image. It was indeed not about gaining the upper hand, but about exploring martial arts. Even after exchanging blows for thousands of rounds, one rarely used their killer move. In this way, Wei Zhixuan really was too despicable. He used his full strength as soon as he made his first move. He really had no demeanor of an expert or a sect master.
Even if Lu Chengfeng had the intention of sparring, Wei Zhixuan was just there to cause trouble. They had two completely different motives. Making a move without using your full strength against someone like that, wasn’t it just seeking abuse? Nonetheless, he finally found peace within the words of Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi. His thoughts would not be heading in that direction anymore.
“So, Mister Lu, you don’t have to think too much. Just rest in our Golden Pill Sect for a while. Our Golden Pill Sect has just begun rebuilding and are short of experts. If Mister Lu does not object, I was thinking of inviting you to serve as the special guest elder of our sect,” Ling Chuxi said brightly, shocking Lu Chengfeng and everyone there.
