There are too many teammates who are complete losers.

Chapter 157 Lu Ren Gets Slashed

Chapter 157 Lu Ren Gets Slashed

Longyou was just about to go over and meet up with Lu Ren and his sister when someone approached him again.

He sighed, not knowing why, but it seemed that whenever there were many people around, everyone would pay extra attention to him and come up to talk to him.

Although he didn't recognize the people who approached him each time, there were usually a bunch of people around him who gasped and exclaimed in surprise, like this time:

"Why is he here too!" "My God, it's actually Chen Sui!" "That Chen Sui from the Shu Mountain Chen Clan?" "I heard that the swordsmen of the Shu Mountain Chen Clan were once considered the strongest in single combat!"

Hearing the voices around him, Long You looked at the newcomer and asked sincerely, "Brother Chen, is there anything I can help you with?"

Chen Sui chuckled and stared straight at him, asking, "I've noticed you since the beginning; it seems like you always cause trouble wherever you go?"

Long You was taken aback, his face full of confusion. "Trouble? Has it?"

Seeing his bewildered expression, which didn't seem like he was pretending to be stupid, Gu Changqing burst out laughing and said, "So that's the kind of person you are? Completely disregarding others' provocations? How arrogant."

"Brother Gu, I don't understand what you're talking about. I'm going over there to find my friend—hey, where's Xiao Lu? Where did he run off to again?"

Another thing that Longyou found strange was that every time he attended a crowded event, his companions would suddenly have a stomachache or an emergency, and they would all disappear without a trace.

This time, he was fortunate enough to have Lu Ren and his sister with him, but he kept getting bothered by others. Even someone as kind-hearted as him couldn't help but feel frustrated.

But just as he was about to leave, Chen Sui stopped him again, saying to herself, "Is this trouble-causing characteristic of yours the price you pay for your talent? The price of your talent is that it makes you easily get into trouble?"

Long You was stunned upon hearing this; this was the first time someone had guessed it so accurately. He looked at Chen Sui with surprise, "Wow! That's amazing! How did you guess it? Was it magic?"

Chen Sui: "———— There's a limit to pretending to be stupid. Does this person really not see the mockery and ridicule in my tone?"

Although Chen Sui guessed that his dislike for the person in front of him was probably due to the consequences he had suffered, dislike was dislike, and he just wanted to come over and kick him while he was down.

"Talents that come with a price are usually very powerful. Those who came to provoke you just now didn't look too happy; it seems they all suffered at your hands. But with such a price, you must be quite troubled, right?"

"Distressed? Not at all, I really like the price I paid."

"You said you like it—at the cost?" Chen Sui's expression was strange, completely unable to understand.

Long You scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed, and explained, "Well, it's precisely because of this price that I can appear in time when others need help and save many lives. It's all thanks to this price."

Compared to the power boost brought by this talent, Long You preferred the trouble that came with the price. In fact, his team members all knew that the trouble was never the event itself, but the decision of this idiot captain.

Every time trouble is triggered, it's because someone needs help or someone is in danger, and he happens to be there. He can't just ignore it each time, which then triggers an even bigger crisis.

Although it would put him in a dangerous situation, he could save dozens or even hundreds of people. Longyou felt that it was a complete win, and that this kind of trouble was what he considered trouble.

Instead, he was always being offered food at banquets. His friends told him that those people were just trying to provoke him and cause him trouble. He didn't quite understand. It was just that everyone was very enthusiastic. It was just that there might be some conflicts between people due to differences, but as long as they became friends, the conflicts could definitely be resolved.

Just now, he resolved many conflicts and became friends with many people.

"Although I always get a lot of flak from my teammates, they always agree with my decisions. If I had to say something, I should probably apologize to them, haha————"

Chen Sui: "————"

What was this guy babbling on and on? He suddenly realized that this guy was a complete weirdo, a lunatic.

He actually knew that, objectively speaking, although he looked foolish, he was a good person through and through.

But why should he look at it from an objective perspective? He just felt inexplicably angry just looking at that face, and hearing his nonsensical words made him want to beat him into a pig's head.

"Hey, what's your name?"

"My name is Long You."

"Long You, do you think you're some kind of savior?"

"Bai Lu said the same thing to me before, and I got really scolded by her. But I thought about it for a long time and came up with a really cool answer."

Long You, clearly energized, said with a touch of pride, "If I save one person, then I've saved that person's entire world. How can that not be considered a savior?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Sui grinned and said, "Since you're the savior, then come and save me."

Long You looked puzzled, thinking he needed help. Then, amidst his strange gaze and the exclamations of those around him, he saw the other party suddenly summon a metal weapon.

However, at that moment, the circle that had been empty suddenly burst in – two boys and a little girl.

"Brother Lu, Brother Lu, please don't go over there! That's the Sword Demon Chen Sui. Because of the price of his talent, he's easily swayed by his emotions. Once he gets carried away, he'll draw his sword and draw blood. And this guy is terrifyingly strong. A mere Fire Realm cultivator can hunt down more than a dozen Silver-level Void Beasts with just one sword. He's someone who can be considered one of the Four Heroes of Yan Province, alongside Gu Aotian, Shen Lang, and Tie Qingxuan!"

Lu Ren: "————" Brother Zhuang, a supporting character like you shouldn't be unknown. Today I hereby bestow upon you the title of Wang Yuyan of Yanzhou.

He seemed oblivious to the atmosphere, squeezing out from the crowd, and said to Longyou, "Longyou, why are you still here? I just had some really delicious pastries over there."

After the young lady took the girls to the back garden, she sent him a message, telling him to keep an eye on this guy who automatically spawns monsters when he stands in a crowd, but is slow-witted. Otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed here and been circling around this guy.

He doesn't need to worry about minor conflicts, but if they involve drawing swords, things will escalate.

"Brother Longyou, there's a performance over there, shall we go over there?"

"Hey, Yuhe, why are you suddenly talking like that—"

"Ah~" (one word with nine syllables)

Lu Ren turned to look at the man who had drawn his sword, as if he had just noticed him.

"Oh, is this the friend you just met, Longyou? Excuse me, I need to talk to you about something. You two can chat another time."

He completely ignored the sword in the other's hand.

Lu Ren has now discovered that the "turncoat" aura of the supporting characters around Long You has a certain range. Once they leave this range, the other party will reduce their malice towards Long You, just like Zhuang Jian did earlier.

Zhuang Jian looked at Long You and snorted coldly: "Brother Lu is such a mature and steady man, yet he has a friend like you who causes him trouble every day. In my opinion—"

Very well, Yan Zhou's Wang Yuyan is being affected by the buff again. Lu Ren just wants to get Long You away from here as soon as possible and refresh his bad impression level elsewhere.

But just as he was about to leave with Longyou, a dangerous sound suddenly came from the wind.

Using his mental power, he caught sight of the sword thrusting towards him, but at that moment he was less than three meters away from the person.

Without reason, without logic, without cause and effect, this deadly sword pierced towards his heart.

Lu Ren considered himself to be strong, but to avoid a swordsman whose physique was several times his own within three meters was nothing short of a fantasy.

It's impossible. Just like when Lu Ren was still in the Candle Illumination Realm and faced Chen Zui, such a deadly strike would be hard to dodge even from 30 meters away, let alone 30 meters!

But how is this possible? Is this person really crazy, wanting to kill someone for no reason in the princess's residence?

At the same time, in Lu Ren's eyes, the flow of time slowed down, and the final sword stopped a meter away from him.

A woman's voice rang in his ear, carrying three parts laziness, seven parts noise, and ninety-three parts helplessness.

"My dear disciple, the world of professionals is not child's play. If you're not careful, you could lose your life at any time."

Oh right, he put his master in his pocket when he went out. With his master at the Burning Sun Realm here, who would dare to kill him?

Lu Ren felt relieved, but also felt a little wronged after hearing what the other person said.

"Who would have thought he'd encounter danger in a place like this? This guy is a complete madman."

"Idiot, even geniuses can choke to death on eggs. Does danger depend on the occasion?"

A woman flew out of his body, still with her silver hair flowing freely, her jade feet swaying, and her clothes fluttering in the air.

The world stood still, turning gray, except for this silver-haired girl who stood out with a splash of color.

"Thinking that everything will be fine just because Master is around is a big mistake. Master said that he used up almost all the energy he brought out to help the people in the city that day. The little bit of energy he absorbed from you these past few days is not enough."

That was terrible, but what Lu Ren felt was the worst was that even though he hadn't said it aloud, could his master hear what was in his mind?

"Just a little bit, otherwise why would Master know what to change just by patting his butt?"

'

Lu Ren felt helpless. This woman, when she was in love, was as obedient as a cat that he had tamed. But after the pleasure was over, she turned into a wicked vixen who liked to tease him for fun.

Although Master said that, surely there must be a way to stop time like this?

"Time stopped? This isn't time stopped. Master just sped up your thinking speed. The flow of time remains unchanged."

Lu Ren knew what she was waiting for, so he could only shout in his heart, "Master, help me!"

Sure enough, the fairy-like girl giggled and suddenly floated onto his head and gave him a little pat.

He's usually the one flirting with other girls like this, so it feels weird to have someone touch his head like this.

"Your hair is too long and you don't cut it. You're such a slob."

Lu Ren was taken aback, then heard her stop teasing him and soften her tone, saying, "If Master completely exhausts his power, he may have to sleep for a while, but don't worry too much, Master will wake up when you become stronger."

No, are they really going to use Xiao Yan's script? Although the other party said not to worry, Lu Ren's heart suddenly clenched.

However, at this moment, the silver-haired girl let out a soft exclamation, and then said, "It seems I spoke too soon. Master doesn't need to take action."

The world gradually became clearer from gray, and time began to flow again, though in everyone's eyes everything happened in an instant.

A gasp rang out in the arena, and blood began to trickle down. The unavoidable sword strike had been stopped by someone.

The wind howled, and Lu Youhe was a little unsteady, but Lu Ren grabbed her.

Long You's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. Because of the instantaneous killing moment, he had no time to draw his sword, but instead grabbed the tip of the other's sword with both hands.

So fast! If he could catch Chen Sui's sword but couldn't react in time, then he couldn't even catch Long You's attack with his mental power!

At this moment, Long You was covered in profuse blood and sweat, which evaporated and rose into a crimson mist.

His sudden burst of power must have required some skill to break through his limits and stop Lu Ren.

"What happened?!"

"Wow, that was fast! Who was that person? I couldn't even see them clearly."

"Why did they start fighting?"

"It's that madwoman Chen Sui again. Who's so unlucky as to have offended her?"

Chen Sui looked at Long You, who was blocking her way with a terrifyingly gloomy face, and scoffed, "So you can get angry now? I thought you were just a silly idiot who could only laugh and joke."

Long You, his face grim, uttered two words: "Reason."

Chen Sui was taken aback. "What?"

"The reason for drawing the sword."

"Idiot."

He tried to draw his sword, but it was held by the other man, bleeding profusely, and he couldn't pull it out.

An aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison emanated from the man in front of him. He was completely different from the foolish fellow from before. His soul couldn't help but tremble, but it wasn't fear; it was the excitement of a wild beast encountering another wild beast.

He suddenly attacked that young man to provoke him into anger and force him to make a move.

Chen Sui couldn't help but get excited, "Long You, you really are a monster, worthy of being my opponent."

As more and more people gathered, Lu Ren thought to himself that things were not good. He had caused such a commotion at the princess's birthday banquet, and it was likely that things would not end well later.

However, after calming down, a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes when he looked at the guy named Chen Sui.

What's going on? This crazy character should provoke those overpowered protagonists instead of drawing his sword to attack him.

"Brother Lu, are you alright? Although your friend has an annoying face, I have to say he's really strong."

Zhuang Jian had been very close to him, and the sudden burst of energy from those two had startled him.

He adjusted his glasses, looking at the crimson mist rising from Long You's body, and explained with a solemn expression, "If I'm not mistaken, your friend is using the Blood Burning Battle Body, a Silver-level Void Beast from the Dianchi Void Realm, the Blood Burning Monk—it can instantly and greatly enhance burst damage, speed, strength, and other abilities. But that's a status skill that requires 4000 physique points to learn. Your companion actually has such high attribute values ​​at the Torchfire Realm!"

Alright, Wang Yuyan, now is not the time for commentary. Lu Ren looked around, trying to find where the young lady or Ali was.

In this kind of situation, family background matters. If Long You is from a prominent family or has a famous master, he won't attract as much trouble even if he has a "hate-inducing buff".

Just then, several people appeared in the courtyard. Listening to the surrounding discussions, Lu Ren knew that the middle-aged man walking in front was none other than the renowned Prince Gong.

"Haha, young people these days have such short tempers, just like we did back then."
