Chapter 72 We warlocks have always been the most reasonable people~
After a while.
Sanyi Gate Mountain Gate.
When Zhuge Yan arrived at the main gate carrying his bundle, Lu Jin had already been waiting there for a long time.
The moment Lu Jin saw Zhuge Yan, his eyes lit up.
"Junior Brother Yan! Master has indeed agreed to let you come back with me!"
"I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation, so my master simply took me down the mountain and let me relax."
Zhuge Yan smiled and nodded.
"Where is Master?"
"I guess he's still behind me? I didn't pack much, I just took a few changes of clothes with me."
"It's alright, you don't need to worry about the money."
With our master here, would he let us two brothers go hungry?
"Haha, that's true!"
"Since you're coming home with me this time, if we run into that Lu Ci guy again and he tries to show off in front of me, remember to help your senior brother deal with him!"
Should we greet him together?
Is this "greeting together" the same "greeting" I'm thinking of?
Although he was deeply impressed by Lü Ci, a ruthless man, Zhuge Yan pretended to be puzzled on the surface.
"Senior Brother Lu, who is this Lü Ci? Is he your enemy?"
"Not exactly an enemy, but he's definitely not a very likeable guy!"
Lu Jin waved his hand, then straightened his expression slightly and said:
"By the way, I just heard that you've encountered a bottleneck in your cultivation. Could it be that your Reverse Life technique is about to break through to the second level?"
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yan was immediately at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.
Me? Dual?
"Senior Brother Lu, what do you take me for? A monster?"
"I've only been a beginner for a short time, and I've only been at the first level for a few days. How could I possibly break through to the second level so quickly?"
"Hehe... I thought the same thing when you first started out, but what happened?"
In just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, you have successfully entered the first level.
"Tell me, with this precedent as a warning, is it really that difficult to reach the second level in a month?"
"That's really difficult..."
Zhuge Yan twitched the corner of his mouth.
Once you've reached the first level, breaking through to the second level is practically the same difficulty, okay?
The reason he was able to master the first level so quickly was because he had prior experience in constructing "mysteries".
The transition from the first to the second layer involves taking the already complex structure to an even higher level of difficulty!
Without years of diligent practice and accumulation, this step is simply like a skilled cook trying to make a meal without rice!
"Senior Brother Lu, don't worry, the bottleneck I encountered is not the Reverse Life Triple Realm, but something else."
"Something else?"
"Yes, it's related to my family's magic."
In a sense, the mystery itself exists for the purpose of Qimen Dunjia, so saying this is not a lie.
"Oh, I see..."
Lu Jin nodded knowingly, and at the same time, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If Zhuge Yan were to break through to the first and second levels in just one month, then he, as the senior brother, could really consider finding a block of frozen tofu and smashing his head against it!
Just as the two were chatting, Zuo Ruotong slowly walked in from inside the door.
Behind him, all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect stopped what they were doing and ran to see Zuo Ruotong off when they heard the news that their master was going down the mountain.
Of course, this also includes Siu-chō.
"Master, how long will your trip down the mountain take?"
"Including the travel time, it will take at least a month."
"what……"
Zuo Ruotong smiled and turned her gaze to Si Chong and Chengzhen beside her.
"Junior brother, Chengzhen."
"Yes."
"After I descend the mountain, I will entrust the affairs of the sect to the two of you to manage together."
"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll keep an eye on these little brats."
Si Chong nodded, then turned his gaze to Zhuge Yan outside the door.
"Senior brother, is he coming down the mountain with you too?"
"Um."
After receiving an affirmative answer from Zuo Ruotong, Si Chong quickly walked up to Zhuge Yan.
"Is it Uncle-Master Chong?"
"You brat, after you come down the mountain, you should rein in your habit of arguing with people!"
It's one thing for you to argue with me up on the mountain, but once you get down there, people won't let you off so easily.
If you really cause any trouble for your master, just wait and see how I deal with you when I get back!
Although his tone was still as sharp as usual, the underlying concern he revealed was impossible to conceal.
"Uncle-Master, don't worry, I am a sorcerer."
As everyone knows, we warlocks are always the most reasonable people~
"Look, look, here we go again, huh? You're really stubborn as ever."
As he spoke, he seemed to let out a long sigh, as if he had completely given up on trying to persuade Zhuge Yan.
"Lu Jin, you are the senior brother. After you go down the mountain, take good care of your junior brother and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble for your master."
"Yes, Uncle-Master, don't worry, I will take good care of Master and Junior Brother."
"Um."
Si Chong nodded in satisfaction.
Clearly, in his mind, Lu Jin, a talented and well-educated scion of a prestigious family, was much less troublesome than Zhuge Yan, this "little troublemaker."
Upon seeing this, Zuo Ruotong smiled knowingly.
"Alright, it's about time. We should head down the mountain."
Goodbye, Master. Take care of yourself.
"Take care, Yan-ge~"
……
A moment later, in Sanyi Town.
Walking on the streets of Sanyi Town, a hint of daze flashed across Zhuge Yan's eyes.
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Since killing Yuan Jingui, he has not come down the mountain again.
Every day on the mountain is spent cultivating, and it feels like I've completely lost track of time.
"Master, how are we going to get there? Are we going to do it all on foot?"
"Why not?"
Zuo Ruotong smiled and asked in return.
"Ah... Masumi, go on your way..."
Did you walk from Fujian to Shanghai?
Well, it's just a matter of walking the same path again.
"You brat, so lazy at such a young age, what will you be like when you get old?"
As she spoke, Zuo Ruotong also glared at Zhuge Yan.
Hehe~
During the interaction between the master and his disciple, two figures walking towards them made Zhuge Yan stop in his tracks.
"Is it you?"
Zhuge Yan frowned, because the newcomers were none other than Wang Yaozu and his disciple Li Muxuan.
"It's you!!!"
Upon seeing Zhuge Yan, Li Muxuan was first startled, and then his pupils contracted sharply when his gaze swept over the figure behind Zhuge Yan.
"Left...Left Gate Chief..."
Zuo Ruotong naturally recognized Li Muxuan as well, and a complex look flashed in her eyes when she looked at him.
"It's you, Li Muxuan..."
"It's...me..."
Faced with the face of the man who had almost become his mentor, the usually eloquent Li Muxuan was unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.
