Invincible Martial King

"Among the several senior direct disciples, Zhang Qiang is quite powerful. Even if I were to fight him, I do not have much confidence in defeating him." Looking at Zhang Qiang's back, Zhao Menger slightly opened her mouth and shook her head.    

"Senior Sister Zhao, did we know each other before?"    

"I don't know him."    

"Then why do I feel like you care about me?" Lu Chen smiled faintly.    

"Ahh …" Zhao Menger was stunned at first, but then she said with a helpless smile, "Didn't you tell me to take care of you? You cured Qingfeng."    

"White Cloud?"    

"You two know each other?" Lu Chen was surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Menger to be acquainted with Bai Yunlai. From the looks of it, they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.    

"You should know that among the outer sect's Four Great Families, my Zhao Family is on good terms with the Bai Family, so I have a good relationship with Bai Yi and his sister." Zhao Menger's eyes were watery as she smiled.    

"No wonder."    

"Of course. Do you think you can attract my Zhao Menger's attention with your little appearance?" "There are a lot of people chasing after me." Zhao Menger said complacently with a humph, but when she recalled the scene where Lu Chen did not look at her directly, she felt a little angry.    

Seeing the change in Zhao Menger's expression, Lu Chen knew that this woman was not to be trifled with. After collecting the fifty spoils of the spiritual herbs, she prepared to leave. Zhao Menger was not only the senior direct disciple but also a member of the Zhao Family of the Four Great Families.    

As a man, Lu Chen also liked to admire beautiful girls, but as a person with two lifetimes of experience, he could see that a character like Zhao Menger could not be easily provoked. As the saying goes, a beauty that would bring disaster.    

"Senior Sister Zhao, if there's nothing else, I'll be going first."    

"Wait."    

"Junior Brother Lu, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"    

"Besides, you saw it just now. I've said quite a lot of things for you, shouldn't you express your opinion?" Zhao Menger looked like a cunning fox as she smiled sweetly at Lu Chen.    

"Then, I'll thank Senior Sister. Can we leave now?" Lu Chen laughed bitterly. The surrounding knife-like gazes were fixed on him and the male disciples of First Peak were looking at Zhao Menger and Lu Chen while they were chatting and laughing. They could not help but feel jealous.    

"Isn't this new disciple a bit too much?"    

"Look, Senior Sister Zhao is talking and laughing with him, this is our First Peak's goddess!" When the disciples who had not left saw this scene, they were immediately enraged. They glared at Lu Chen in anger, Zhao Menger was slim and graceful, her beauty was moving, and she was also a senior direct disciple with outstanding cultivation. When had she ever been so close to other male disciples?    

"What do words of thanks count as?"    

"If you really want to thank me, then come participate in Exquisite Tea Meeting selection in six days."    

"Exquisite Tea Meeting?"    

Lu Chen frowned. What is this?    

Exquisite Tea Meeting is a small gathering held between the senior direct disciples of our four mountain peaks. There is a gathering held once every three months, and those who can participate are all outstanding direct disciples. In order to strengthen the communication between the disciples of the four mountain peaks, it will be held six days later, and it just so happens that I am the one who is hosting this time's Exquisite Tea Meeting. "    

Seeing Lu Chen's confused expression, Zhao Menger smiled and explained softly.    

"If it's just an ordinary party, why did you invite me?" Lu Chen frowned. He felt that things were not that simple. There were people with a higher cultivation level than him. Plus, he just joined the sect, so it didn't seem appropriate for him to attend such an event.    

"This …" After pondering for a moment, she said slowly, "Let me tell you the truth. Exquisite Tea Meeting used to be a simple exchange of martial cultivation experiences, but a few years ago, it began to change, becoming a place for the Four Peaks' younger generation to secretly compete. Our First Peak has been continuously suppressed until we can't even lift our heads.    

"Junior Brother Lu's aptitude and strength are both outstanding. If you participate, you can naturally help our First Peak to regain some face."    

As she spoke till here, Zhao Menger could not help but let out a sigh. The other three peaks were all capable of cultivating more profound and powerful martial skills, but it was extremely difficult for the First Peak s to be comprehended, even if they had the same innate talent. However, the outstanding disciples in the First Peak s always lost by a level, and were repeatedly disdained by the disciples from the other peaks in terms of Exquisite Tea Meeting.    

"Senior Sister Zhao, although I really want to help you, I don't like to be busy. So, it's better for you to look for someone else." Smiling faintly, Lu Chen rejected the offer without any hesitation.    

"You really want to refuse?" Zhao Mengerdai furrowed her brows, feeling a bit embarrassed and annoyed. She had personally invited someone, but no one had ever rejected her.    

"Senior Sister, I'll take my leave first." Lu Chen turned around and walked towards Wang Hao and the others.    

"You should be in need of spiritual herbs. If you are willing to participate, I can give you some low-rank spiritual herbs." Zhao Menger frowned.    

Hearing that, Lu Chen's footsteps paused, but he didn't have the intention of turning around.    

"Thirty low-rank spiritual herbs."    

"Fifty low-rank spiritual herbs."    

… ….    

Seeing that Lu Chen still had not reacted, Zhao Menger's eyebrows twitched as she said seriously, "A hundred pieces of low-rank spiritual herbs!"    

"Deal!" Lu Chen stopped and smiled.    

"Junior Brother Lu, you really are a money grubber." Zhao Menger gritted her teeth.    

"I never do anything that doesn't please me."    

"I just joined the sect not too long ago, how can you let me do such a public thing without any benefits?"    

Ever since he had met these senior direct disciples, he had also felt a bit of pressure. His cultivation level had risen a bit slowly, and with the help of these spiritual herbs, he could refine more medicinal liquids and refine his body. His cultivation realm would naturally rise greatly, and his own strength would greatly increase.    

"Well, here are fifty pieces of low-rank spiritual herbs. Treat it as the deposit for me to pay in advance."    

"Let's talk in advance. If your performance on Exquisite Tea Meeting is not satisfactory, forget about cancelling the remaining Spirit Grasses, even if I get my hands on the Spirit Grasses, I will make you spit out everything." Zhao Menger's soul power appeared all of a sudden. A strong and heavy aura swept through the surroundings like a bottomless ocean. Even with Lu Chen's current strength, he felt a sense of oppression.    

"Senior Sister Zhao, don't worry. I, Lu Chen, will naturally settle this matter well. We'll meet again in six days." Lu Chen smiled, put away the spiritual herbs and turned to leave.
