The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 244

Chapter 244

Ling Chunann stepped onto the stage and saw the young recorder disciple smiling at him kindly, "Don't be nervous, just place your hand on the spirit-testing stone."

Ling Chunann obediently nodded and then stretched out his hand to place it on the spirit-testing stone.

A dazzling blue light emitted from the spirit-testing stone.

Finally, the attention of everyone present was diverted from Zhang Zhifeng to Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann looked up at the recorder disciple with some confusion in his eyes.

Qingfeng took back his surprised gaze and reported: "Water system heavenly spirit root!" He then looked around at the senior cultivators seated in the main positions, seemingly waiting for instructions.

The new disciples below had already started discussing.

"It's a water system heavenly spirit root!" The eyes of a noble family's child who knew about spirit roots changed instantly when they looked at Ling Chunann.

"What about the water system heavenly spirit root?" someone asked.

"The water system heavenly spirit root is the best physique for a cauldron, rare to see in hundreds of years," someone explained, and then quickly added, "But we are a righteous sect, we definitely won't engage in such despicable acts. However, it's said that those with the water spirit root are exceptionally beautiful, and seeing it now, it's true."

...

At this moment, the senior cultivators and the sect leader on stage were also discussing.

Yunling: "Fellow cultivators, this child had a good performance in the previous entry test and is a heavenly spirit root. He has the potential to be nurtured. Do any of you wish to take him under your wing? Elder Brother Yun Kuo?"

Yun Kuo: "Sect Leader, I don't have a suitable technique for the water spirit root. I'm afraid I might delay this child's progress. Elder Sister Yun Lan?"

Yun Lan: "Don't look at me, I've never taken a disciple with a water spirit root either. Elder Brother Yun Bo, you have many disciples, this child has good potential, you surely won't have a problem, right?"

Yun Bo smiled wryly, "I have too many disciples already, and I just took in a few more. I'm afraid I have the will but not the capacity. Sect Leader Brother, as the head of our sect, why not take him in yourself? It would be a pity for a heavenly spirit root disciple to be placed in the outer sect."

The others agreed, "Yes, Sect Leader, please take him in."

Pity you guys aren't taking him? Yunling glanced at them with irritation, straightened his posture, looked at Ling Chunann, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand.

Because the water system heavenly spirit root is so rare, it's all the more worth cherishing. Moreover, this child looks naïve and inexperienced. Whether as an elder or a sect leader, he couldn't let him be placed in the more complicated outer sect.

The discussion among the senior cultivators was swift, so to the audience, right after Qingfeng announced "water system heavenly spirit root," the sect leader raised his hand.

Following the command, Qingfeng loudly reported: "Perso..."

"Wait."

A cold voice came from outside the hall, followed by a tall figure suddenly appearing at the entrance of the grand hall. His steps seemed leisurely, yet he was inside the hall in two to three steps.

"Yun Su, how did you come?" Yunling was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly welcomed him.

The other senior cultivators also stood up.

"Elder Yun Su."

"Elder Brother Yun Su."

Yun Su nodded to them and then looked at Ling Chunann, "I'll take this child."

Finally, from some corner, 098, who had dug out the information, said: "Host, he is the most likely candidate to ascend to immortality within the next five hundred years! Currently, he is at the late stage of crossing tribulation, serving as the first elder of the Jianling Sect."

Ling Chunann looked at Yun Su, just in time to meet the man's indifferent gaze. He smiled at him, saw the man's eyes flicker, and then contentedly withdrew his gaze.

"Follow me," Yun Su said to Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann looked at the sect leader, Yunling, who was smiling and stroking his beard, waving his hand, "Go on, go on."

It wasn't until Ling Chunann and Yun Su left that the new disciples recovered from Yun Su's aura. The testing resumed, and they held back their questions, waiting for the testing to end.

Fortunately, there were only a dozen people left, except for the protagonist who was taken as a direct disciple with the Taoist name Qinghan, the rest were allocated to either the inner or outer sects.

"Senior brother, who is that Elder Yun Su?

Is he very powerful? Even the sect leader respects him so much?" After the sect leader and others left, an outer sect disciple asked Qingfeng, who stayed behind to guide them.

"Elder Yun Su," Qingfeng said the name with fanaticism in his eyes, but quickly calmed down, cleared his throat, and introduced: "He is our first elder, residing in Lingxiao Peak, and has been in seclusion for nearly eighty years. Before his seclusion, he was already at the crossing tribulation stage, and now his cultivation level is unknown." Qingfeng's eyes were full of admiration. Previously, countless people begged to be Yun Su's disciples but were ignored. Now, he has actually taken the initiative to come out of seclusion and take Ling Chunann.

Cultivators' realms are divided into Qi training, Foundation Building, Core Formation, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Transformation, Fusion, Crossing Tribulation, Mahayana, and Ascension. Although the newcomers haven't practiced cultivation, they still knew the basic levels. Hearing about the Crossing Tribulation stage, their originally clueless eyes immediately filled with envy and jealousy. How lucky was that child.

"Let's go, Junior Brother Qinghan."

Hearing the call, Yun Ze Han came back to his senses and smiled at the female cultivator, "Yes, Senior Sister."

As the protagonist, Yun Ze Han naturally looked outstanding. Even among cultivators who were generally remarkable, he stood out. The female cultivator couldn't help but take another look at him, "If Junior Brother is interested in Elder Yun Su, I can tell you some stories about him later."

"Thank you, Senior Sister," Yun Ze Han bowed to her.

"No need to be so polite, let's go."

Compared to the other disciples' lively discussions, Ling Chunann's side was much quieter. From the moment "Follow me" was said, Yun Su didn't speak again, and the two left the sect's main hall one after the other.

Yun Su didn't walk fast, just enough for Ling Chunann's short legs to keep up at a leisurely pace.

When they arrived outside the transmission array of Lingjun Peak, Yun Su stopped. The disciple guarding the array saw him, first widened his eyes, then rubbed them, and then came to his senses, quickly stepping forward, "Disciple Qingguan pays respects to Elder Yun Su, congratulations on your emergence from seclusion."

Yun Su nodded to him, then looked at Ling Chunann, "Child... disciple, come here."

Ling Chunann pretended not to hear the initial monosyllable and walked to his side.

At this moment, Qingguan saw the small figure behind Yun Su and was stunned.

Yun Su glanced at the top of Ling Chunann's head, then withdrew his gaze, explaining: "Every mountain peak in the sect has a transmission array, accessible only with a pass token." Saying so, he handed a white jade token to Ling Chunann, "Try it."

Ling Chunann took the token, glanced at Yun Su, and seeing him nod, stepped into the transmission array.

After Ling Chunann entered the transmission array, Yun Su followed.

"Brother Qingguan, Brother Qingguan?"

Hearing the call, Qingguan instinctively looked towards the caller, blinked, but his vision was unfocused.

"What's wrong, Brother Qingguan?" the disciple was confused, "Could you please activate the transmission array for me?"

"Sure, sure, just a moment." Then, Qingguan activated the transmission array, "Please go ahead."

It wasn't until the disciple left that Qingguan pinched his face, "I must be too tired, seeing hallucinations. Elder Yun Su is in seclusion, how could he appear at Lingjun Peak."

After a dizzying moment, Ling Chunann's vision brightened, and out of inertia, he nearly fell forward. However, as he was about to tumble forward, suddenly an arm extended from behind, pulling him into an embrace.

"Are you alright?" the man's voice sounded behind Ling Chunann.

Ling Chunann shook his head, intending to step out of the man's embrace, when suddenly everything went dark.

The last thing he saw was the man's face full of panic, "My dear."

Ling Chunann slept for a very long time and had a long dream, but upon waking, he remembered nothing.

It was a very strange thing; he never used to forget his dreams.

After seriously thinking for a while, Ling Chunann couldn't figure out what he had dreamed about, then simply gave up, "098, why did I faint?"

"Host," 098's voice was very soft, "You haven't eaten for a long time." In other words, he fainted from hunger. Normally, he shouldn't have fainted, but the transmission array still puts some pressure on the body. So, after such an

ordeal, Ling Chunann's untrained body couldn't withstand it.

Ling Chunann: "..."

His mind still a bit muddled, Ling Chunann didn't immediately open his eyes but rubbed against the blanket, then realized something felt off. Opening his eyes, he found himself lying on his new master's body, his fingers tightly clutching the man's sleeve, his face pressed against the man's chest, inhaling the man's slightly cool scent.

Before his mind could catch up, the hungry Ling Chunann bit Yun Su's shoulder.

After a few bites, Yun Su stopped him, saying, "You haven't begun cultivation yet, and your spiritual power can't digest it. Eating too much is bad for your body."

098: "..." The adult is really understanding, being bitten and still worrying about the other person's digestion.

Ling Chunann swallowed, reluctantly licked Yun Su's wound, then looked at him pitifully.

Yun Su's eyes deepened slightly, then he gently stroked Ling Chunann's back, a smile touching his lips, "If you like, after you begin cultivation, master allows you to bite."

The person who rarely smiles looks the best when smiling, especially this time, with the unique aura of a cultivator. Even though Ling Chunann had seen many sides of the man, he couldn't help but feel moved.

However, after looking for a moment, Ling Chunann buried his head back into the man's chest, his voice a bit muffled, "My dear."

"Hmm?"

Ling Chunann raised his head, his voice clear and crisp, pronouncing each word distinctly, "You should call me 'my dear'."

Yun Su was initially startled, then his face brightened with a much more radiant smile, his voice filled with indulgence, "Yes, 'my dear'."

Thinking Ling Chunann had fallen asleep again in his arms, 098 suddenly heard his host's excited voice, "098! Don't you think he's even more handsome this time!"

098: "..."
