The Counterattack Plan of A Villain With Ten Thousand Fans - Chapter 211

Chapter 211

Thinking of this, Lu Zhiqin couldn't help but stand up, sat back down after a while, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, glanced outside the door, and then took another sip of tea.

When Ling Chunann woke up, it was already late. Xiao Hongjing dallied for a while before telling him that Lu Zhiqin had arrived.

Refusing Xiao Hongjing's company, Ling Chunann went to the hall. Before he even entered, he sensed the presence of the shadow guards around, "Why are there so many shadow guards guarding here?"

"Master, it was the lord who had them come," the reason need not be said, it was definitely to drive away a rival in love, but obviously, this rival still had some perseverance, at least he was still able to sit still for the time being.

Hearing this, Ling Chunann nodded, but his pace didn't quicken, leisurely entering the room.

Seeing Ling Chunann come in, Lu Zhiqin, who was already sitting unsteadily, hurriedly stood up, "Brother Xiao."

Ling Chunann showed him a smile, "Brother Zhiqin, you've waited for a long time."

"Not at all, I've just arrived myself," Lu Zhiqin said.

Ling Chunann glanced at the tea cup beside him, which didn't know how many times had been refilled, and didn't continue on this topic, "Shall we start now?"

"Alright," Lu Zhiqin said, then paused, "Brother Xiao, there is something I wish to consult."

"You can just call me Xiao Qi, just speak directly if you have something to say."

"Your residence doesn't seem to lack masters, Xiao, Xiao Qi, why do you want me to teach you martial arts?" Lu Zhiqin asked this perplexing question.

"Their martial arts are not suitable for me." Ling Chunann said this with a bit of a low spirit, "I've been frail since childhood, their martial arts paths are too fierce, so I've never practiced. I know it's late for me to start learning martial arts now, if you're unwilling to teach, it's okay, I..."

"Not at all, it's my honor to teach you martial arts," Lu Zhiqin took over Ling Chunann's words, "It's just that my knowledge is limited, I hope Xiao Qi won't disdain it."

The two talked back and forth for a while, and if it wasn't for Ling Chunann's reminder, Lu Zhiqin almost passed on the secret techniques of his school to him.

Today, since he came specifically to teach Ling Chunann martial arts, Lu Zhiqin naturally made ample preparations. This could be seen from the secret manual he took out, still exuding the fresh scent of ink. Considering Ling Chunann was a beginner, the text he used was very simple and easy to understand, showing his dedication.

Lu Zhiqin stayed at Ling Chunann's place for the whole morning until he confirmed that Ling Chunann had basically understood the basics of martial arts he talked about. Before leaving, he repeatedly instructed him to send someone to find him if there was anything he didn't understand. Seeing that Ling Chunann had agreed, he finally left.

Seeing Lu Zhiqin's figure disappearing, Ling Chunann commented, "Not only is he straightforward, but he's also a bit long-winded."

098 expressed strong agreement, but this person in the original text shouldn't have been so easily convinced, is this person also influenced by appearance? Thinking of the look Lu Zhiqin gave his master when they met yesterday, 098 felt it understood the truth.

"Young master, this is what the lord asked me to give you." Shadow Nine came up at this moment and handed Ling Chunann a note.

"Okay." Ling Chunann took it, opened it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

How can this person be so amusing?

The note read: Darling, he's gone, can I come out now?

Earlier, when Ling Chunann came out, to prevent Xiao Hongjing from following, he asked him to stay in the room. He didn't expect him to really stay in the room? Thinking this, Ling Chunann walked towards the room, but as soon as he entered, he was pressed against the door.

When Lu Zhiqin returned to the Kunlun Sect residence, several disciples were discussing swordsmanship, and they greeted him when they saw him return.

"Big senior brother."

"Big senior brother."

"Big senior brother, what happened? You look so happy?"

Lu Zhiqin touched the corners of his mouth involuntarily rising, "Nothing, just made a new friend." After saying this, he looked around, "Where's the little junior sister?"

"The junior sister has been looking for you for a long time, she just went out for a bit, and now she's in her room," said the disciple, his eyes full of teasing, "The friend the senior brother mentioned must be a girl, right?"

"No," Lu Zhiqin shook his head, he mistook Ling Chunann for a girl at first sight, almost called out, remembering this, he felt somewhat embarrassed, "I'm going to see the little junior sister." Saying this, he walked away briskly.

"Something's off with the big senior brother," observed a disciple as Lu Zhiqin's figure vanished around the corner.

"I think so too, it's definitely not just about meeting an ordinary friend," another disciple chimed in, "I still hold my view, the senior brother has someone in his heart."

"If that's true, many junior sisters will be heartbroken." At this moment, the speaking disciple turned his head, suddenly noticing Shen Tan behind with a very unpleasant expression, "Little, little junior sister? Why are you here? Weren't you...?" Back in your room?

"You said the senior brother has someone in his heart?" Shen Tan asked, "Who is it?"

When Ling Chunann woke up with a sore back and waist, the first day of the sword-fighting conference had already ended. He lay on the bed letting Xiao Hongjing massage him, while internally conversing with 098, "Logically, shouldn't the one on top be more tired? Why is he always so energetic every time?" Instead, he always finds it hard to get up.

"Probably because the body constitution in your world isn't very good," 098 consoled, it had now mastered the art of conversing in front of men and with its host. As long as it doesn't oppose him, there would be absolutely no problem.

Whether Ling Chunann believed it or not, Xiao Hongjing didn't touch him for the following week.

On the third day, Ling Chunann woke up early and then nudged the sleeping Xiao Hongjing awake, "I want to go watch the sword-fighting conference."

"Okay." Perhaps due to sleepiness, Xiao Hongjing's voice was somewhat hoarse. He glanced at the sky, then scooped Ling Chunann into his arms, kissed his forehead, "There are three more hours, sleep a bit more."

"I'm not sleepy, I'm hungry," Ling Chunann said.

"Hungry?" Hearing Ling Chunann was hungry, Xiao Hongjing fully woke up, "What do you want to eat? I'll make it."

"Plum blossom cake," Ling Chunann said.

"Okay."

Two hours later, Ling Chunann was woken by Xiao Hongjing, "Darling, it's dawn, time to get up."

Ling Chunann hugged Xiao Hongjing's arm, murmuring, "Let's sleep a bit more," before falling asleep again.

Xiao Hongjing chuckled softly, waved to let the servant who came to deliver wash water leave first, then picked up Ling Chunann, changed his clothes for him.

When Ling Chunann fully woke up, Xiao Hongjing had taken care of everything for him, with a plate of the plum blossom cakes he had requested in front of him.

The sword-fighting conference was held on the summit square of the Tianshan Sect, and by the time Ling Chunann and Xiao Hongjing arrived, the martial artists had almost all arrived.

"Today is the second day of the sword-fighting conference, some of the warriors who failed the challenge yesterday did not come, so it's a bit quieter than yesterday," Xu Congshan explained, pointing to the crowd in front of them.

Everyone was extremely curious about the person who was personally received by the head of the Tianshan Sect, casting their gazes towards Ling Chunann and Xiao Hongjing.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" A Tianshan Sect disciple, who was talking to Lu Zhiqin, noticed him suddenly zoning out and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing." Lu Zhiqin smiled at the disciple, then stood up, "I have something to do, I'll leave for a bit and come back later."

"Ah? Oh."

As soon as Lu Zhiqin left, Shen Tan came looking, "Brother, eh? Where's the brother?"

"Little junior sister, the senior brother said he had something to do and left for a while," the disciple from earlier answered.

"Oh, which direction did he go? I'll go find him."

"That way."

"Host, Lu Zhiqin is coming towards you," 098 informed.

"I see," Ling Chunann said, having intentionally had Xiao Hongjing change his appearance, yet still being recognized. "Seems his eyesight is quite good."

Lu Zhiqin approached Ling Chunann from behind, "Xiao Qi."

"Hm?" Pretending to have just noticed Lu Zhiqin, Ling Chunann waved at him, "Brother Zhiqin, good morning."

Lu Zhiqin, who had been focused on Ling Chunann, finally noticed Xiao Hongjing standing next to him, "You two are up early."

Xiao Hongjing nodded, standing beside Ling Chunann without speaking. Ling Chunann turned to Lu Zhiqin and asked, "How did you recognize me?"

"It's embarrassing to say, but I recognized you by your figure and movements," Lu Zhiqin answered.

"So, you two know Lu Shaoxia from the Kunlun Sect," Xu Congshan intervened at this moment, his attitude very enthusiastic, "Lu Shaoxia is indeed a standout participant in this sword-fighting conference, truly a case of a young hero."

"Thanks for the praise from the sect leader, I still have much to learn," Lu Zhiqin replied modestly.

At that moment, a gong sounded.

"The event is starting, please," Xu Congshan said.

In the original story, the sword-fighting conference's final was contested between Bai Hantian and Lu Zhiqin, but now Bai Hantian was nowhere to be found, leaving Lu Zhiqin without a rival, winning battle after battle.

Ling Chunann watched a few matches, but after Lu Zhiqin left the field, he lost interest.

The participants of the sword-fighting conference were young people new to the martial world, with martial arts mostly not even as high as Ling Chunann's half-baked skills. Some were so nervous they couldn't even hold their weapons steadily, which was really amusing.

Despite this, Ling Chunann stayed to watch until the end.

"Host, there he is," 098 announced.

Standing on the stage at that moment was a young man with a baby face, wearing a radiant smile with shallow dimples on both cheeks, making him look exceptionally cute.

This young man was also one of the heroine's many admirers, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to Bai Hantian or Lu Zhiqin. However, in the original story, he did not compete until the end, so Bai Hantian was the one who won the first place.

The reason Ling Chunann considered him a backup male lead was that he was the eldest son of the emperor in the original story, meaning he was the future crown prince.

Of course, that possibility was now gone.

Seeing Ling Chunann look towards the stage, Xiao Hongjing asked, "Darling, do you want to meet him?"

Ling Chunann turned his head, "Do you know him?"

Pleased that his darling's gaze returned to him, Xiao Hongjing nodded, "Of course, by seniority, you should call him your cousin."
