Born Saints: Starting from Liaozhai

Chapter 99 Awakening of Innate Talent

Outside the wooden house.

Listening to the chatter of the miscellaneous disciples not far away, Gu Mingzhe's face revealed a smug and arrogant expression.

Ever since that freak who could build a foundation in the Heavenly Dao disappeared from the list of top menial disciples, he has become the new number one menial disciple!

So this is what it feels like to overpower a million menial disciples?

It was truly wonderful!

However, while he found it enjoyable, he also felt a bit bored.

Upon hearing that a member of his collateral branch of the family had been killed by a menial disciple from the Eighty-Nine Peaks, he was immediately filled with murderous intent.

How dare a lowly servant disciple kill members of the Gu family?

Did they think that having even a little bit of cultivation talent meant they could do whatever they wanted?

And so, at this very moment, he appeared here, ready to make this lowly servant disciple who dared to offend his Gu family pay the price!

Gu Mingzhe's cold voice echoed in the ears of the servant disciples.

"I heard you killed my cousin? Or was it a death match?"

"My cousin's talent is mediocre. What kind of skill is it to kill her? If you're so capable, then fight me!"

"So, do you dare?!"

Upon hearing the challenge of a death match from this prodigy of the Gu family's main branch, Su Chen had not yet responded when the eyes of the surrounding servant disciples immediately lit up.

The handyman disciple made the first move?

Such a scene is a rare sight!

This will also allow them to see clearly just how big the gap is between them and the top-ranked menial disciple!

As their discussions and the news spread, more and more handyman disciples gathered here, ready to watch the show and see how this first handyman disciple would torture and kill the person who had killed a member of the collateral branch of the Gu family.

Inside the wooden house.

Listening to the shouts and the discussions among the servant disciples outside.

Su Chen remained calm, choosing not to bother with it for the time being.

He used to be a menial disciple, but now he is an inner disciple. If he were to fight this menial disciple to the death, he might expose his identity as an inner disciple.

Originally, this matter wouldn't have been a big deal; it would have been exposed anyway. But the Book of Fortune-Turning revealed that there was another person secretly fishing for it.

His current strength is too weak, so he naturally wouldn't choose to expose himself under these circumstances.

"We should wait at least ten days, until we've completed the next teleportation and become a Golden Core True Monarch, before discussing it further!"

At that point, if my identity as an inner disciple is exposed, it doesn't matter; I might even become a core disciple directly.

Now, all that's needed is one word: delay!

The longer it drags on, the more advantageous it is for him.

As long as he doesn't want to go out, there's nothing that can be done about him unless he's bold enough to force his way in and demolish the wooden house.

Thinking of this, Su Chen moved his right hand slightly, and a surge of pure white magic power silently reinforced the wooden house.

"coward?"

"Afraid to come out?"

"Indeed, how could you, a menial disciple of the Eighty-Nine Peaks, possibly dare to fight to the death with me, the number one menial disciple?"

"hehe----

Gu Mingzhe's mocking voice rang out repeatedly, trying to force this ant-like handyman disciple to come out.

Unfortunately, no matter what he said, the servants in the wooden hut seemed not to hear him at all.

Gu Mingzhe snorted coldly.

This situation was not unexpected for him.

What kind of status does this handyman disciple have, and what kind of status does he have? It's normal that this guy doesn't dare to come out and fight him to the death.

As for forcibly breaking in and destroying the wooden house, he had considered it, but considering his reputation and the rules in front of everyone, he didn't really want to do it.

In this situation, all we can do is wait!

"Let's see how long you can stay in there. If you're so capable, then don't come out!"

Gu Mingzhe scoffed dismissively, then sat down cross-legged outside the wooden house and began to wait.

As a disciple specializing in miscellaneous tasks, one must perform a miscellaneous task each month.

Before he came, he had already investigated and found out that this handyman disciple named Su Chen had recently been lucky enough to get a handyman task of purchasing supplies.

However, he will have to come out next month!

Gu Mingzhe snorted coldly.

He wanted to see how long this guy could hide inside!

When the sect forces him to carry out a mission, that will be his death day!

Furthermore, after adjustments made by his family's main lineage, the next menial task awaiting this guy will definitely be a mission that requires him to leave the sect!

At that time, outside the sect, this person will surely die!

Just as he was thinking this, the servant disciples began to hiss.

Su Chen ignored them and continued to stall for time.

Time passed slowly, and two days went by in the blink of an eye.

Su Chen's heart stirred, and he mobilized the body energy that existed in the dark and poured it into his body.

boom!

The sixth radiant Five Elements Platform has been formed!

[Realm: Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment (60%) Sixth Level Dao Platform]

As he advanced to the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, his ranking on the inner disciple list also jumped up.

Time passed quickly under these circumstances.

Every two or three days, Su Chen would mobilize the energy from his previous body to rapidly improve his cultivation level.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

It was noon in Qingyun City.

Inside the vast Su family mansion.

The middle-aged man was tall with broad shoulders and a angular face. His thick beard, which extended from his sideburns to his chin, was neatly trimmed and had a few strands of gray mixed in with the black, giving him a calm and dignified appearance.

His gaze was deep and sharp; just by standing there quietly, he exuded an aura of authority without anger.

He gazed at the sky, muttering, "I wonder how Chen'er and Hao'er are doing at the Haoran Immortal Sect, especially Chen'er, he—"

The eldest son, Su Chen, and the third son, Su Hao, have been cultivating at the legendary Haoran Immortal Sect for over a month now. I wonder what their current situation is.

-

Thinking about it, a look of worry appeared on his dignified face covered with a thick beard.

Behind him, two figures stood.

Hearing his mutterings, the woman chuckled seductively.

"Don't worry, Master. As an inner disciple, Hao'er will definitely take good care of Chen'er. With Hao'er around, even if Chen'er is just a menial disciple, he won't be bullied!"

"With Hao'er's talent, he will surely rise to prominence in the Haoran Immortal Sect soon."

Aunt Liu smiled faintly.

Her face was alluring, her eyes sparkling, and her gaze seemed to carry a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

She wore a bright green dress, her figure was slender and graceful, her waist was thin and supple as if she had no bones, and she exuded a charming and alluring aura as she moved.

Her figure, clad in clothing, possessed alluring curves, as supple as a nimble green snake, exuding an indescribable allure.

The words were spoken.

Standing beside Aunt Liu, the old servant Ding Sheng, dressed in bright red and with a weathered face, smiled and comforted her, "Yes, sir, with Young Master Su Hao's help, the eldest young master will surely be alright!"

Hearing them say that, Su Yuan nodded, feeling much more relaxed, and his guilt eased somewhat.

Seeing the master's expression, Aunt Liu chuckled softly and inadvertently exchanged a glance with Ding Sheng.

There was a smile in both of their eyes.
