chapter 176
176: Intense Exercise
Lingmeng’s unprincipled attack, and Linuo, a third-tier master, attempted to resist, but the disparity in strength was too great, leaving him suppressed.
This female disciple usually behaved quite quietly in public, being the leader of a small faction within the Demon Refining Sect, she had her own sense of propriety, especially in the presence of many righteous warriors, where she would restrain herself a bit.
Moreover, she didn’t wish to converse with those righteous warriors, preferring to keep to herself.
But pent-up for too long, she needed an outlet, and when alone with Linuo, she would reveal her true nature.
Worried that Lingmeng’s continued exertion would cause agitation, Linuo compromised.
Of course, he had no choice but to compromise; he couldn’t withstand her head-on. Besides, unlike last time, there were no mystical artifacts emitting demonic energy and soul power to borrow, and they had to go out to battle later. Using hidden weapons to paralyze her wasn’t ideal, so he went along with her wishes.
As Linuo was pulled onto the bed, Lingmeng took the opportunity to cover him with the blanket.
“Master, why don’t you resist?”
“I’m worried my actions will cause agitation. Lingmeng, there should be a limit to playfulness. Considering you’ve been well-behaved since entering the City Lord’s Mansion, I’ll indulge you this once.”
“Hehe, Master’s the best. By the way, Master, what’s the emergency?”
Lingmeng shared a blanket with Linuo, taking the chance to snuggle up to him.
Linuo endured for the moment, waiting for her to relax before he would throw off the blanket and escape.
Linuo said earnestly, “Beasts are attacking, we need to take action.”
“Ah? So fast? We just got here a little while ago?”
“Even faster is better, we’re not here to waste the day. Uh, can you please not touch me like that?”
“Teacher, you’re so strong, it’s clear you’ve made progress in your training, just like I expected, as a disciple, it’s essential to understand your teacher.”
Ling Meng had just finished speaking when she flung herself into Lin Nuo’s arms, unaware of the mysterious force drawing her to him, even though she was now buried in his arms, she still wanted to get even closer.
Their distance was now zero, but she felt she could still get even closer.
Lin Nuo felt uneasy, this disciple of hers was being too reckless, always rubbing against him like this.
She thought about it, and it seemed she should be the one rubbing against him, experiencing a facial massage instead.
“What do you understand?”
“Uh… I only know that Teacher is strong, but I think there are still many unknown areas waiting for me to explore, so I need to work harder to understand more.”
“That’s enough, you’ve gotten what you wanted, don’t think about slacking off.”
Lin Nuo was thinking of knocking her out and carrying her away when someone rushed in from outside.
“Ungirl! The city lord has ordered us to depart, are you ready?”
The white-clad girl was holding the silver-white phoenix sword and ran in, discovering that Ling Meng’s room was still open.
She looked inside and saw U Yingsong and U Dongfang lying on the same bed.
“Ah! I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to disturb you two, I’m not trying to be intrusive!”
Su Ke Xin blushed and quickly turned away, only to find that these two disciples were enjoying a joyful moment, her arrival was like a clown’s.
However, these two disciples were too bold, at least they should close the door to have fun, leaving the door open like this.
Maybe it’s their habit?
But this is really not proper, especially since we’re in the city lord’s mansion, this kind of behavior should be condemned.
There are many people in the mansion who don’t have a partner, and you’re doing this kind of thing, it’s really hurting.
Hmm, U Yingsong’s movements are similar to those of my elder brother, but my elder brother won’t do something like this, which is detrimental to morality.
“Whoa?”
Lin Nuo suddenly remembered that she had come to wake Ling Meng up, but forgot to close the door, and didn’t know that Ling Meng would pull her over and forget all about it.
This is not good, and soon we’ll have to notify everyone in the mansion and have a live broadcast of this scene?
She jumped up in shock, Ling Meng didn’t react, and was pushed from the head of the bed to the foot by a powerful force.
“Ah, ow…”
Her head hit the wooden bed frame and hurt a bit, “Teacher, be gentle, please…”
Lin Nuo: “……”
When Su Ke Xin heard these fierce words, she thought that they must have been engaging in intense physical activity.
Her face turned red, and suddenly she fantasized about doing something similar with her own elder brother one day.
“Ke Xin, I’ve found you. Is Miss Wu inside? Have you found Young Master Wu?”
At this moment, Liu Shuqin also arrived, sword in hand, and found Su Ke Xin with a flushed face, turned away from the room, “Ke Xin, what’s wrong? Your face is so red, are you feeling unwell?”
“No… Senior Sister, Young Master Wu and Miss Wu are inside. I saw them, they were together on a bed…”
“Ah?!”
Liu Shuqin was also startled, rushing to Su Ke Xin’s side, then turning her gaze into the room.
Just then, Lin Nuo had risen from the bed, but his clothes were still disheveled from Ling Meng’s earlier tugging, leaving him looking quite disordered.
“This… Young Master Wu, you two…”
“It’s nothing, just a misunderstanding.”
Lin Nuo, completely unflustered, calmly said, “We’re ready, we can set off now. You go ahead and wait for us in the hall.”
“Young Master Wu, we came looking for you because you hadn’t shown up for so long…”
Liu Shuqin’s voice softened as she observed Lin Nuo’s disheveled attire, the creased bed where Ling Meng lay, and Su Ke Xin’s earlier words, deducing that they must have shared the bed.
But what were they doing on the bed? Surely they weren’t just sleeping side by side?
That seemed unlikely.
Ling Meng, noticing the two young ladies at the door, felt a surge of anger.
I was in the midst of a joyful moment with my master, and you two wicked women come to stir up trouble.
Really, this stinky master is so crude, not knowing at all how to cherish the fairer s*x.
Ling Meng quickly adjusted her demeanor, leaping down from the bed, and said earnestly:
“Ladies, is there something you need?”
“Young Master Wu, a fierce beast has attacked, and we need your help. Sorry to disturb your rest.”
“We’re not refusing to go, and besides, it was our idea to help you, not an obligation. Can you not rush us so much? I was just enjoying myself with my master.”
“Enjoying yourselves? You really were…”
“We were just practicing.”
Lin Nuo patted Ling Meng’s head, signaling her to stop talking, lest the whole town learns of this trivial matter, “We’ve kept you waiting, let’s set off.”
Lin Nuo quickly grabbed his sword and headed for the door, while Su Ke Xin, hearing that things were settled inside, turned her gaze back.
She saw Wu Ying Ge, his face uncovered by a cloth, all his features clearly visible to her.
“Senior Brother?!”
Su Ke Xin suddenly exclaimed, her eyes focusing on the dark smudges, wrinkles, scars, and stubble on Lin Nuo’s face.
Lin Nuo shuddered.
Oh no, where’s my cloth? Ling Meng must have pulled it off.
And Su Ke Xin, have you turned on the beauty filter or something? How could you even recognize me?
