Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

Qin Qi watched Lu Linglong rush towards him but did nothing, simply observing her quietly until she reached him.

"Girl, stop trying to develop any superpowers. These are just unorthodox methods."

"You've never been very bright since you were little, you can't handle this kind of thing, just focus on cultivating your life force."

"Uncle-Master, we're fighting now, so focus..."

The moment Lu Linglong met Qin Qi's eyes, her body froze on the spot, unable to move, though she remained fully conscious.

But a feeling of immense fear rose within her! She couldn't bring herself to attack Qin Qi, and it had nothing to do with willpower.

This is a fear that originates from instinct, a fear that goes deep into the soul. When people encounter danger, they freeze up, which is a form of self-protection!

Lu Linglong looked at Qin Qi, and in her eyes, Qin Qi's figure kept growing taller and taller until it became like a mountain!

Unable to overcome, unshakeable! A deep sense of powerlessness welled up in Lu Linglong's heart! All the Qi in her body was suppressed at this moment.

She had lost all her strength, and even the self-destructive emotions in her heart had been extinguished, leaving only powerlessness and fear!

This was the first time she had faced Qin Qi directly since she was six years old, and only now did she understand why Huang Ming had been defeated by Qin Qi without even making a move.

Because if you're not strong enough, you don't even have the right to stand before him! That oppressive aura is truly terrifying!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: You have to beat your apprentice early, or you won't be able to beat him later!

"After losing so much blood, get some sleep and drink some brown sugar water to replenish your strength."

Qin Qi looked at Lu Linglong, who was standing there in a daze, and slapped her on the head. Lu Linglong immediately collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"Uncle-Master, you hit me!"

"Huh? You went too lightly. Let me do it again."

Qin Qi looked at Lu Linglong, who hadn't fainted yet, and gave her another blow, which knocked her unconscious completely this time.

"This silly girl isn't very bright, but she's got a hard head. She didn't knock her out right away."

His master, who was not far away, stared at Lu Linglong as she collapsed. He opened his mouth wide in disbelief, knowing that Lu Linglong was in this state.

Even if he wanted to take down his opponent without harming him, it would take some effort, but his junior brother took him down without making a single move!

"Uncle-Master, has Junior Brother's strength increased again? Years ago, I could still hold my own against him, but now he'd probably knock me down with a single slap."

"I reckon you couldn't even take one slap."

"Uncle-Master, Junior Brother's temper is too volatile. While you're still alive, you should teach him a lesson so he'll remember it."

"You think too highly of me. If it were ten or twenty years ago, when I was still in good health, I might have been able to teach this kid a lesson, but I can't now."

Fang Dongtian shook his head. He was currently weakened and could fight others, but he definitely couldn't fight his monstrous disciple.

He'd probably be lying on the ground after one slap. Ugh, I have to find someone to teach him a lesson and show him what's what!

Fang Dongtian was preparing to take Qin Qi to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. This time, many experts were gathered, and there was bound to be someone who could teach this kid a lesson.

"Uncle-Master, you know, Linglong has some personality flaws. She should be alright after being provoked by Junior Brother this time, right?"

After finishing talking about Qin Qi, Lu Linglong's master started to worry about Lu Linglong again: "And just now, junior brother slapped himself on the head."

"Linglong is usually a bit silly, will she become even sillier now?"

"Well, the first question should be fine. Do you remember when Linglong first came up the mountain, we organized a martial arts competition for the younger generation of the temple?"

“I remember my junior brother participated too. He beat all the younger ones to tears by himself. For a month after that, whenever those kids saw my junior brother, they would immediately start crying.”

“Linglong was also beaten up at that time, but after that, Linglong became his little follower.”

As the old saying goes, where there are venomous snakes, there is always an antidote within seven steps.

Fang Dongtian stroked his beard and said, "Linglong's stubborn temper is so bad that even her great-grandfather couldn't handle it, but Qin Qi managed to stop her."

"Sigh, he's just a junior brother now. By the way, I hope our Linglong won't be beaten senseless."

"No, Qin Qi knows how to control himself. Hmm, Mei is probably unharmed, but the idiocy is something this child was born with."

Fang Dongtian spoke.

Lu Linglong is only fainting now; otherwise, if she heard her master, grandmaster, and uncles saying such things to her, she would have fainted from anger.

She is clearly very intelligent and clever, so why does everyone say she's stupid? She's not stupid at all.

..........................................................................................

In the blink of an eye, only three days remain until the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

That day, Qin Qi and Lu Linglong were playing chess outside. They were playing Gomoku (Five in a Row), but Lu Linglong didn't know how to play Go.

"Uncle-Master, I don't want to play anymore."

"Don't do that, let's play two more rounds. If you can't, I'll let you go first."

"I'm not playing anymore. I keep losing, and I've lost all my confidence."

Lu Linglong and Qin Qi played a total of twenty-three games, and she lost all twenty-three of them. She really couldn't figure out how she could win!

"If Gomoku doesn't work, let's switch to Chinese chess. I'll give you all your pawns, two cannons, and two rooks, how about that?"

"I'm not playing, because I'll always lose in the end anyway."

Lu Linglong's cheeks were puffed up with anger. She wasn't angry because she lost, but because Qin Qi could always guess what she was thinking.

"Uncle-Master, why do you always know what I'm going to do before I even leave? Have you developed some kind of mind-reading technique?"

"That must be it, right? You've developed a mind-reading technique, so you're using it to experiment on me!"

Lu Linglong felt incredibly clever, instantly guessing Qin Qi's purpose. Yes, she was just too smart!

"I do have mind-reading abilities, but there's no need to use them on you. You're just too easy to understand."

“Every time you’re about to do something, you look at the chessboard and focus your attention on where you’re going to place your piece next.”

"I don't need to read minds; I can tell where you're going to place your piece just by looking at your little movements."

Although Qin Qi often used Lu Linglong to test his skills, this time it really wasn't; he was simply playing chess with her.

"Huh! Really?"

Lu Linglong's eyes widened; she had never known she had this habit. "Then, Martial Uncle, what do you think I should do next?"

Qin Qi glanced at Lu Linglong, who was sitting upright with her eyes wide open, staring straight ahead.

"Your eyes widened for a moment just now, which is a sign that you were thinking. Then you immediately turned to the chessboard, which means you've come up with an idea."

"You unconsciously pinched your arm; you do this every time you're nervous."

"Right now you're thinking, 'I'm sure I can successfully fool my martial uncle. Oh right, my martial uncle just mentioned eyes, so I'll deliberately look at the chessboard.'"

"Am I right?"

After Qin Qi finished speaking, Lu Linglong immediately showed an extremely surprised expression. She not only realized what he was going to do, but also said out his innermost thoughts without missing a single word.

"Your next question will be, 'Uncle-Master, you really didn't use mind-reading abilities?'"

"Uncle-Master, you really didn't use mind-reading abilities?"

Lu Linglong was even more shocked after she finished speaking. Qin Qi had actually foreseen what she was about to say!

"Uncle-Master, I want to learn this move!"

"Silly girl, you can't learn it. Go and practice your Baguazhang properly."

"call!"

Lu Linglong was now puffed up like a pufferfish, determined to prove to her master that she was not a stupid girl, but a clever and intelligent one!

"You two are here. Stop playing around and pack up, we're going to Longhu Mountain."

At this moment, Fang Dongtian walked over, said something to Qin Qi and Lu Linglong, and then went back to his room to pack his things.

He also went to the Luotian Grand Ceremony at Longhu Mountain this time, mainly to broaden Qin Qi's horizons and let him know the immensity of the world.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Departure! Heading to the Luotian Grand Ritual at Longhu Mountain!

"Pack your things, Master. Didn't you tell me not to go?"

"Are you testing me? Don't worry, I'm the most honest person. If you don't want me to go, I definitely won't go."

Qin Qi hasn't gone yet because his train ticket is for three days from now, and he can't leave before that time.

“I’m not testing you. This time I really want to take you with me. You’ve been living in the mountains since you were little.”

"Everyone on the mountain is accommodating to you..."

"Even if they didn't give me a break, they still couldn't beat me."

"What did you say?!"

"It's nothing, Master, please speak first."

“Everyone is accommodating to you, which makes you a bit anxious. This time, while we're at Longhu Mountain, I'll take you out to broaden your horizons.”

"Let me show you just how many heroes there are in the world, and let you know just how insignificant you really are."

"Hey, I put that outfit over there, but I can't find it. Linglong, can you help me find it?"

Fang Dongtian searched the room for a long time, but he just couldn't find the Taoist robe that he had specially prepared. He clearly remembered that he had put it here.

"You're here! Which garment are you looking for, Grandmaster Uncle?"

Lu Linglong went inside to help Fang Dongtian search.

“It’s the Taoist robe I made for your uncle on his eighteenth birthday. Since we’re not going out this time, I thought I’d take it out and have him wear it.”

"Hey, where can I find it?"

Fang Dongtian had a Taoist robe made on Qin Qi's eighteenth birthday, but he only took it out to look at it and then put it away.

Qin Qi was not usually restricted in his clothing at the Taoist temple, wearing whatever he had on hand, so that new outfit was left at the bottom of his trunk.

Fang Dongtian and Lu Linglong searched for a long time before finally finding it in the box, taking it out, and unfolding it to take a look.

"No, do I really have to wear this?"

Qin Qi looked at the very beautiful Taoist robe in front of him, then looked down at the clothes he was wearing that had been washed until they were almost white.

Is it really okay for him to wear such nice clothes?

"Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. It's fine to be casual inside the temple, but you have to be mindful of your appearance when you go out."

"Come on, try it on."

Fang Dongtian was a very particular person. Although their Quanzhen sect was not a luxurious sect, they could not lose face at the very least.

"I haven't worn this style before, how do I get things here?"

"Uncle-Master, let me help you."

With Lu Linglong's help, Qin Qi finally managed to put on the clothes, then looked at the two of them and said:

"Girl, how do I look? Do I look awkward?"

"No, Uncle-Master looks really handsome in this. Let me take a picture and post it on my WeChat Moments."

Lu Linglong took out her phone and snapped a series of photos before sending them to her best friend, Zhi Jinhua.

*

Lu Linglong: "Hua Hua came out to see the handsome guy."

Zhi Jinhua: "Handsome guy, um, he is indeed handsome, but why do I feel a little scared! I have a feeling that I'm about to be eaten up at any moment!"

Zhi Jinhua looked at the photos sent by Lu Linglong. In the picture, Qin Qi was wearing a Taoist robe, and the perspective was from bottom to top.

In the picture, Qin Qi is looking down at Lu Linglong, who is shorter than him, thus creating a downward-looking posture.

At first glance, Zhi Jinhua didn't think much of it, but the more she looked, the colder she felt. It was as if the other person was staring at her!

Looking into his eyes, a feeling of fear immediately arose in my heart, as if I would be swallowed up at any moment!

Lu Linglong: "Huahua, you must be mistaken. My uncle is a very nice person. How could he possibly eat you?"

Lu Linglong glanced at Qin Qi, who was adjusting his clothes. He didn't seem terrifying at all, but when she thought of what happened yesterday, she suddenly shuddered.

"Hmm, it should be fine to just take a picture. It must be Hua Hua's imagination, just an illusion."
