Chapter 62 One step closer
Senior Sister Xue, Senior Brother Wang told me about a secret realm before. It is said that the secret realm is very beneficial to our practice. "
When Xue Lingling heard this, her face suddenly darkened, and she said dissatisfiedly: "Shen Lang, is it because you know that this mission will help you get the qualification to enter the secret realm that you are so good to me in the mission? "
Shen Lang hurriedly explained: "Senior Sister, you misunderstood, I don't mean that. Fighting side by side with you in the mission and supporting each other are all sincere, and they are not for other purposes. "
Xue Lingling snorted coldly: "Then I want to hear your explanation. If you can't convince me, this so-called friendship is nothing but a false pretense. "
Shen Lang looked serious and said: "Senior Sister, from the beginning of cooperating with you, I was moved by your courage and justice. The secret realm was indeed accidentally learned, but this is definitely not the reason why I am good to you. In this mission, we faced a strong enemy together. How could this friendship be caused by the secret realm? "
Xue Lingling listened to Shen Lang's explanation, her expression eased a little, but she still had some doubts: "I hope you are telling the truth. However, do you really think that we two sisters are good?"
Shen Lang denied it and said: "Senior sister, you think too much, you and Xue Mengya are good people, both are good girls."
The two continued to walk, and the sun shone on them through the gaps in the leaves.
Xue Lingling smiled, with a bit of helplessness and self-mockery in her smile, and said: "It is said that Xue Mengya and I are Rakshasas outside, just because we girls practice blood sword, we are said so badly. Those people are short-sighted and narrow-minded, and they speculate about us based on this alone. "
Shen Lang stopped and looked at Xue Lingling firmly, saying: "These are all misunderstandings from the outside world. Only when you really understand it can you know. Just like others think I am arrogant, but the real me is not like that. I know how much effort and sweat you have put in to practice the blood sword, and how can outsiders understand the hardships behind it. "
Xue Lingling agreed with Shen Lang's words and nodded gently, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze.
There was a trace of relief in her eyes, and she said: "Yes, people always judge others based on appearances and rumors. They have never seen me practicing hard in the middle of the night, and have never seen the pain and frustration I have experienced in order to master every move. "
Shen Lang continued: "So Senior Sister, don't care about those rumors. We just need to be upright and have a clear conscience. "
Xue Lingling smiled slightly, dispelling the previous haze: "You are right, it is me who is a little narrow-minded. In fact, I also understand that I don't need to care about those gossips, but sometimes I can't help but care. "
Shen Lang hurriedly said: "Senior Sister, this is true nature, not narrow-minded. Your frankness and persistence, in my opinion, are your charm. "
The smile on Xue Lingling's face became even stronger: "You are the only one who can talk. "
At this time, the breeze blew, bringing a fragrance of flowers and plants.
After Shen Lang and Xue Lingling parted ways, he set out on the road back alone.
As he walked, Shen Lang suddenly became alert. He saw Meng Ran and his eldest disciple Zhao Kuangshan coming to block him aggressively on the road ahead.
Meng Ran looked sinister and said coldly: "Shen Lang, I'll wait until you're alone today!"
Shen Lang frowned, with no fear in his eyes, and responded: "Meng Ran, what do you mean?"
Zhao Kuangshan stood behind Meng Ran, but his eyes were fixed on Xue Lingling, revealing complex emotions.
It turned out that Zhao Kuangshan had always admired Xue Lingling, but he never got a response.
Knowing that Shen Lang and Xue Lingling had gone out to complete the task today and got along well, he was very unhappy.
Zhao Kuangshan stepped forward and said viciously: "Shen Lang, you kid, why are you always with Junior Sister Xue Lingling? "
Shen Lang sneered: "We are carrying out the mission together, openly and aboveboard, how can you talk nonsense here?"
Seeing Zhao Kuangshan like this, Xue Lingling was also very angry: "Zhao Kuangshan, don't be so unreasonable!"
When Zhao Kuangshan heard Xue Lingling's rebuke, his face became even uglier: "Junior Sister Lingling, I am sincere to you, but you are always so indifferent to me."
Xue Lingling was disgusted and shouted: "Zhao Kuangshan, I don't care about your sincerity! Don't keep pestering me here!"
Zhao Kuangshan's eyes were red, and his voice was almost roaring: "Why? What on earth am I not as good as Shen Lang?"
Shen Lang looked coldly and looked directly at Zhao Kuangshan: "You are so unreasonable, which will only make Senior Sister Lingling more disgusted."
Zhao Kuangshan's eyes were wide open, pointing at Shen Lang: "It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could Junior Sister Lingling be so heartless to me! "
Meng Ran said sinisterly on the side: "Kuangshan, there is no need to waste words with them. Let them know the consequences of offending us today."
Shen Lang was not afraid at all, and said loudly: "Meng Ran, as a senior, you are here to make trouble, don't you feel ashamed?"
Meng Ran snorted coldly: "You sharp-tongued boy, you will beg for mercy later."
After that, Meng Ran's aura surged, and a strong pressure came.
Zhao Kuangshan asked Xue Lingling to return to the sect, and said viciously: "Junior Sister Lingling, you have nothing to do here, you go back to the sect first. Today I want to ask Shen Lang for advice alone. "
Xue Lingling frowned slightly, and her beautiful face was full of worry.
She carefully sensed and noticed the fluctuation of Zhao Kuangshan's spiritual power.
The first level of the Sea-opening Realm is unstable.
Her heart tightened, and she quickly excused Shen Lang, saying, "Zhao Kuangshan, you are bullying the weak. You have already reached the first level of the Sea-breaking Realm! The difference between the two of you is so great, it is unfair and it also loses your status! If your behavior spreads out, won't people laugh at you?"
Zhao Kuangshan was unmoved, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, in the way of cultivation, the strong are respected. If he doesn't dare to fight, he is a coward! In this world where the weak are preyed upon, only strength is the truth, how can there be any fairness?"
Shen Lang looked at Zhao Kuangshan with a firm look, without any intention of retreating, and said loudly, "Why Don't dare? But if you bully others by taking advantage of your power, even if you win, it's not glorious! Your so-called strong people are respected, but it's just an excuse for you to bully the weak. "
Xue Lingling said anxiously: "Shen Lang, don't be impulsive, his realm is much higher than yours, you don't have to fight him hard. This Zhao Kuangshan is arrogant and unreasonable, if you get hurt, it's really not worth it. Let's take a long-term view and make plans after returning to the sect. "
Shen Lang straightened his spine and looked determined: "Sister Lingling, thank you for your concern. But if I retreat today, he will be more unscrupulous in the future. I, Shen Lang, will never be a timid person. "
