Chapter 287: Chapter 233: Let’s See How Long She Can Keep Being Stubborn_2
She didn’t dodge the sword Qi, could she be planning to unleash the Talisman despite being hit by the sword Qi?
Why does she have so many damn Talismans?
Lin Yao’s guess was right on the mark; Liang Lu’s tactics were extremely uncomplicated and straightforward.
No matter the cost, as long as she could use Jiang Cheng’s Talisman, she could just wait to win!
However, although she was protected by a magical treasures inner armor, the attacking power of the sword Qi was no joke.
Struck by several sword Qis, Liang Lu immediately felt a surge in her blood and a slight sweetness in her throat. But the pain was worth it because, as the sword Qi attacked her, the effect of the Talisman, like an arrow leaving the bow, raced towards Lin Yao!
Already at full speed, “heading in both directions,” there was no chance for Lin Yao to dodge, and she was expectedly hit by the Talisman.
“What did you use on me?” Lin Yao stopped in her tracks and asked calmly.
Although the situation wasn’t apparent now, Lin Yao had plenty of experience with being affected by Talismans, since none of the Talismans Liang Lu used were benign!
“Motion Magnetization Talisman,” Liang Lu said with a smile, “I forgot the principle, but I can tell you the effect. The more and faster you move your body, the more seriously magnetized your body will become. Eventually, the magnetic force will be strengthened to something akin to handcuffs or shackles, tightly securing your hands and feet.”
Lin Yao looked down and gently waved her hand, immediately feeling a suction force between her hands, drawing them towards each other unconsciously.
She was fortunate to have stopped in time. Otherwise, she would have definitely been immobilized by the strong magnetic force, humiliating herself on the spot.
If it had been before, Lin Yao wouldn’t have cared about the embarrassment, but after her recent match with Liang Lu, when she nearly lost an arm due to fighting too hard, Yan Yue’s reminder had made her come to a realization.
If she wanted to be a good Dao companion for Jiang Cheng, she definitely needed to manage her image and reputation.
Her Jiang was so perfect; he surely couldn’t marry a cultivator who was not only unattractive but also had a bad record, right?
Jiang deserved the best female cultivator, and she must continue to strive tirelessly until she became his Dao companion!
“Where on earth did you get so many abnormal Talismans?” Lin Yao inquired.
Liang Lu chuckled: “Why? Are you thinking of buying them too?”
“You bought them?”
Liang Lu realized she had misspoken, “Kind of but not really, anyway, he’s my contact and it has nothing to do with you.”
Lin Yao did not get angry but warned, “Liang Lu, you’d better stay away from your contact. Anyone who can draw so many shameless strange symbols is definitely not a good person.”
Liang Lu laughed and said, “On the contrary, I think he is quite nice. He is upright and quite handsome.”
“Suit yourself.”
Lin Yao waited for the Talisman’s effect to wear off, then turned and leaped down from the dueling stage.
She had been somewhat interested in Liang Lu’s “contact,” intending to get to know that excellent female cultivator and learn some methods to deal with Liang Lu. But after hearing “handsome,” she understood that Liang Lu’s “contact” was a male cultivator, and immediately lost interest.
No matter how outstanding Liang Lu’s “contact” was, as long as he was a male cultivator, he was destined not to compare to a single hair of her own Jiang.
After achieving yet another victory against Lin Yao, Liang Lu’s mood was far from relaxed.
Because she had won using the last Talisman in her pocket.
With the Motion Magnetization Talisman used up, she no longer had any new Talismans to use.
The Talismans she had left had all been seen by Lin Yao. Given Lin Yao’s previous lessons and her precautions, Liang Lu might not be able to win again.
Without any Talismans, the pressure was immense.
“So even consecutive victories can lead to anxiety?” Liang Lu revealed a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.
Jiang Cheng…
He definitely had reserved Talismans he hadn’t brought out!
Liang Lu thought with certainty.
Mo Ningdan was no longer worried about Liang Lu losing to Lin Yao.
With so many recent consecutive victories, losing a few later would not be a disadvantage.
As soon as she returned to the activity room with Liang Lu, she received a communication Talisman from Li Qingge.
Li Qingge: “Mo, how is Liang Lu doing recently?”
Mo Ningdan: “All is normal, how about you? Is the plan going smoothly?”
Li Qingge laughed: “Very smoothly, Liang Qing has already started using Jiang Cheng’s Talismans. I guess before long, Liang Qing will bite off more than he can chew and hand over the chance of succession.”
“Good.”
“Now it’s up to you, Mo. You must keep a close eye on Liang Lu and prevent her from interacting with Jiang Cheng until she ascends to the throne!”
Although Mo Ningdan didn’t understand the repeated insistence from Li Qingge, she chose to trust her fellow sister.
Li had both the capabilities and vision – it was only her talent that was slightly lacking.
“Alright, Li, I’ll go remind Liang Lu of this once again in a moment.”
“Hmm.”
After the communication Talisman was disconnected, Mo Ningdan sought out Liang Lu immediately.
“Liang Lu, have you encountered any difficulties with your training recently?”
“As a student, I have not for the time being.”
“Good, by the way, do you remember what I mentioned to you about Jiang Cheng?”
“Jiang Cheng?”
Liang Lu jolted. Had her teacher discovered her secret contact with Jiang Cheng?
“What, what about Jiang Cheng?”
Mo Ningdan said sternly, “It seems you have forgotten, no matter, I will emphasize it to you once more. Don’t get too close to Jiang Cheng, understand? He will delay you.”
“Oh, I understand now, teacher.”
“Good. You may continue your cultivation. I have nothing else.”
“Alright.”
Mo Ningdan left, leaving Liang Lu alone in the activity room.
Liang Lu tried to cultivate, but she had no mind for it at the moment.
Because images of Jiang Cheng kept appearing in her thoughts, unabating.
“The teacher told me not to get too close to Jiang Cheng, but why? There must be a reason, right? But… what if I directly ask her and accidentally reveal that I secretly saw Jiang Cheng? If the teacher doesn’t allow me to see Jiang Cheng, then doesn’t that mean I won’t have any Talismans to use… No, that won’t do, not having Talismans is unacceptable…”
