Shangguan Yun didn’t seem to see the contempt in Zhulu’s eyes. He came up and bowed to her:
“I'm glad to meet you, Big Sister Liang.”
Then he turned to the five heroes and introduced himself:
“My name is Shangguan Yun. It's an honor to meet you, big brothers..”
Liang Zhulu sat down in a chair, crossed her legs, and looked at him proudly raising her nose:
“Shangguan Yun, you said that you know how to stop Lin Yi in the competition for the position of chief disciple. This is true?”
“Yes!" Yun nodded.
“Hmph,” Zhulu snorted. She didn't believe him and didn't hide it. “Then speak up. And if you say nonsense, I will throw you off Mount Huashan.”
One could drown in the pressure of her inner strength, and the words stung more than the poisonous fangs of a viper. Yun's heart trembled and he involuntarily lowered his head..
He had heard rumors that Linghu Feng's younger sister was very arrogant, but she also turned out to be much more beautiful than the rumors said. However, now he felt only fear, and in his soul there was regret: should he have come? Will Lin Yi's life cost him his life??Zhulu is a true disciple. She really could have thrown him off the mountain..
But thinking about Lina And he again felt the anger that had driven him all these months and allowed him to discover his inner strength.
Looking into Zhulu's eyes, he said in a decisive tone:
“Senior Sister Liang, I guarantee that my method will stop him.!”
Zhulu was somewhat surprised when he managed to suppress his fear. Her ominous expression receded slightly, but she spoke in the same cold tone:
“Then speak.”
Yun nodded and looked over the six of them, asking a question:
“How well do you know Lin Yi?”
Without waiting for an answer, he continued:
“Well, I know him better than anyone. As they say, my enemy knows me better than himself. And Lin Yi is my enemy. Since his appearance in Huashan, I have closely watched his every move, so I know all his weaknesses.”
Zhulu nodded, her expression showing interest..
“Come on. Tell me what his weaknesses are.”
Yun grinned ominously and said:
“Climbing the steps of Huashan, what he relied on?”
“To cruelty and violence against those who are definitely weaker than him! And when the opponents are really strong, this coward hides behind the others!” Zhulu barked, remembering how in Lanzhou, when Ao Tianjiao challenged the Five Heavenly Talents, Lin Yi hid behind the crowd.
She will remember this forever. Even if he achieved a small success in Hangzhou, which she had to admit, she will consider him a coward for the rest of her life.
Hearing Zhulu's furious response, Yun froze for a moment, but then nodded:
“You are right, Senior Sister Liang, Lin Yi is indeed a cruel and daring coward, but... he relied on duels and reputation. For him, there is nothing more important than glory, otherwise why did he defeat first the entire hundred of the strongest newcomers, and then the entire hundred of the strongest in the lower court? In Lanzhou, he challenged a second-class expert and became famous again. In Hangzhou, he challenged forty-nine second-class experts. Since fights and victories are so important to him, then he will lose in them!” Yun said confidently.
Zhulu frowned and looked at the five other heroes.
“That's right,” one of them nodded. “They didn’t call him a fight maniac for nothing.”
Zhulu also could not object. Yun was right, but she somehow forgot about it. If you think about it, if Lin Yi had to refuse even one challenge, his fame would collapse like a house of cards..
“And what are you suggesting, Shangguan?” asked Zhulu.
Hatred flashed in Yun's eyes and he replied with a gloomy face.:
“I know Lin Yi, and what he values most is his reputation! He himself will withdraw from the competition for the position of chief disciple if we disgrace him!” Yun laughed. “You just need to challenge him with an obviously losing challenge, and then the reputation of the “Heavenly Sword God” will be over!”
Zhulu's eyes shone:
“Disgrace?! Hit his reputation so that he voluntarily withdraws from the competition?! Ha ha ha, this is brilliant! Shangguan Yun, I was not mistaken about you, you really came up with a great plan?”
«I was not mistaken?» — he repeated to himself. — «Didn't you threaten to throw me off the mountain??..»
But the smile did not disappear from his face, he nodded:
“You are truly the kindest and smartest person, ready to accept bright ideas, regardless of their source. Rare people have such talent.”
Zhulu really liked these words; Yun also knew how to give compliments. Looking at him again, she began to feel that although he was a student of the upper court, he was not useless.
At least his brain worked better than the five dunces called "heroes" who couldn't come up with anything!
“Hmph,” she snorted, looking at them, and was about to give an order when she realized that she didn’t know what.
Yes, Lin Yi had to be disgraced somehow, but how exactly? Zhulu decided to ask Yun for advice:
“Since you know Lin Yi, then tell me what method is on your mind? If anything, he is already second class, and while still in third class he defeated experts of our level. How can I find someone against him in a measly three days??”
Yun smiled slightly:
“It's not a problem. He likes to challenge people, doesn't he? Even though one cannot win, let’s send two people. If two don't win, then five will manage. And if the five can’t, then can’t the Huashan heroes be able to defeat him personally? I believe that he will definitely not be able to defeat you, older sisters and brothers..”
“Ha, such a coward will never defeat me alone!” Zhulu said, rubbing her palms.
There was ecstasy in her face.
Yun showed as restrained a smile as he could. But in his heart he burned with anger: «Hang in there, Lin Yi. I know you've already forgotten about me, but that doesn't matter. I will destroy your reputation and then you will understand that even an ant cannot be forgotten».
“Okay, get up, everyone, why are you sitting down!” Zhulu barked. “Gather people, let's go!”
.˙.
For first place in the competition stage, Lin Yi received another hundred thousand combat experience points. A trifle, of course, but still nice.
There were only three days left until the second stage of the competition. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists. The head student's place is already right in front of him.
But as soon as he closed his eyes to rest and prepare for battle, a roar was heard outside:
“Lin Yi, come out! I came to challenge you!”
