Nine Turns of Nirvana

At this time, it was a dark and cold night outside the camp.

Ling Yufei left the tent and found that Lu Yu was already standing at the edge of the formation barrier, staring directly at the dark night outside, his eyes deep and his face full of solemnity.

She quickly leaned over and asked, "What's the problem?"

Lu Yu had nothing to say.

At this moment, Ling Yufei suddenly heard a slight noise. It seemed that something was approaching in the night opposite. She couldn't help but feel shocked and immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword.

Immediately afterwards, a figure walked out of the night.

"Senior Brother Ge Huairen?"

Ling Yufei was slightly surprised and called out the other person's name.

After her call, Lu Yu also recognized that the person who came was indeed very familiar. He was one of the members of the ambush plan. His identity seemed to be a true disciple of Wuya Immortal Pavilion.

Ge Huairen was surprised when he saw the two of them standing in the night: "Two junior brothers and sisters, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you hurry up and take a rest!"

Lu Yu asked instead: "What is Senior Brother Ge doing here?"

Ge Huairen said: "According to the orders of the guarding general, I am the sentry in charge of vigilance. It was my turn to be on duty just now, so I patrolled around the camp... Is there any problem?"

Lu Yu then asked again: "Did Senior Brother Ge see anything passing by outside just now?"

Ge Huairen shook his head: "I didn't see anything..."

Lu Yu couldn't help but frown.

Ling Yufei asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you see something just now?"

Lu Yu shook his head gently: "I didn't see anything, I just had a very bad feeling, but I couldn't tell what it was..."

Ge Huairen smiled and said, "Could it be that the previous battle at the peak of the Impasse Mountains left Junior Brother Lu Yu with sequelae?"

"I just inspected the area. Not to mention the fallen demons, there wasn't even a single insect in the surrounding area. You should stop being suspicious and seize the time to rest!"

"As the main attacker, your task is very heavy!"

Ge Huairen patted Lu Yu on the shoulder and left, inspecting other parts of the camp.

Lu Yu took a long breath and smiled at Ling Yufei: "I've been too nervous this whole day. Maybe I'm really overthinking it!"

Ling Yufei recalled that during the day at the peak of the Impasse Mountain Range, Lu Yu faced the black air billowing from the sky alone, with his indomitable and arrogant posture, and his majestic momentum under the shining stars.

She secretly thought that if an ordinary person faced the breath of the Hell King head-on, he might even have inner demons, but in comparison, he was just a little allergic, which was really nothing.

"In fact, there is a reason, but the reason is not as complicated as you think..."

The two stood quietly in the night for a while, and Lu Yu suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What?" Ling Yufei was caught off guard and couldn't keep up with Lu Yu's rhythm.

Lu Yu glanced at her and said, "Continue the topic just now. Didn't you ask me before about the reason why I approached you?"

"oh……"

Ling Yufei suddenly realized this.

"Then tell me, what is the reason?"

"It's very simple, because of people!" Lu Yu said matter-of-factly.

Ling Yufei was caught off guard and her face turned red again.

This guy, do you really dare to say that he really puts the reasons here on the table?

Just when Ling Yufei couldn't help but want to stomp away, Lu Yu suddenly added another sentence.

"However, Senior Sister Ling, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean by serving people is not referring to love between men and women. Although I appreciate all of you Senior Sisters very much, I will not blaspheme you in this way..."

"What I mean by serving people is people with talents! All senior brothers and sisters are all extremely talented people. Needless to say, Senior Sister Ling is already a true disciple with the cultivation level of Guihai Realm. Several other senior brothers and sisters, although they have not yet stepped into the sea, Entering the Return to the Sea Realm, you are already at the ninth level of the True Yuan Realm, and you are actually one step away from the Return to the Sea Realm..."

"It can be foreseen that in the near future, you will all be outstanding disciples and the mainstay of Bixiao Palace!"

"As for me, as I told Senior Sister Ling before, the Jade Butterfly Peak where I am is the weakest peak in the entire Dali Sword Sect, but I have a dream, and I don't want the Jade Butterfly Peak to remain forever. If we continue to be weak like this, I hope to lead Jade Butterfly Peak to rise!"

"Since we want to rise, in addition to growing our own strength, we also need to find reliable allies from the outside. With the strength of our Jade Butterfly Peak, we are not qualified to have friendship with the Bohai Palace, so we have to settle for the next best thing and start with the Bohai Palace. Make friends with a few disciples with unlimited potential, and one day, when your strength grows enough to influence the entire Bohai Palace, our Jade Butterfly Peak will naturally rise as a result. "

"This is all my ambition, and it is also the reason why I hide my true strength and hang out with you..."

"Actually, what I told Senior Sister Ling before was all true. I really hope to gain Senior Sister Ling's friendship...not just friendship with friends, but also friendship between allies!"

Lu Yu's words made Ling Yufei completely stunned.

She didn't expect that Lu Yu had such lofty ambitions. He was only at the True Yuan realm, but he was already thinking deeply about the affairs of the real person.

What's more, he never expected that Lu Yu would think so highly of himself that he would be the mainstay of Bohai Palace in the future...

"ally?"

Ling Yufei couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. If I can't get enough original crystal cores to return to life this time, I'm afraid I will be deprived of my cultivation and expelled from the master. What qualifications do I have to talk about allies?"

Lu Yu asked: "How many raw crystal cores do you need in total to complete the mission and return to life?"

The smile on Ling Yufei's face couldn't help but become even more bitter: "Ten pills for compensation, plus ten pills for punishment, a total of twenty pills..."

Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and cursed in his heart, this Bohai Palace is really dark! It was only ten lost, but the penalty was doubled!

That is to say, if they met such a sincere person like Ling Yufei, if it had been anyone else, they would have betrayed their master and started their own sect just like Xue Peng and Gong Yangjing.

However, in order to spy on his mother's information, Lu Yu endured it and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, since we are allies, then we have to help each other! I promise you, no matter what, I will help you get twenty primitive crystal cores!" Of course, in return, I also have a little thing to ask you...how about it?"

Ling Yufei was stunned. She couldn't think of anything that Lu Yu would need her help with, let alone what kind of thing it was that would make him willing to pay the price of twenty raw crystal cores.

"What is it?"

"Find someone..." Lu Yu said vaguely.

"Who is it?"

"I will tell you her name after this matter is settled! How about letting this moment be the beginning of our alliance?"

Lu Yu said with a smile and extended his palm to Ling Yufei.

Ling Yufei bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand.

Snapped!

The two palms met and made a soft sound.

"Anyway...I have no better choice!"

She felt the thickness and strength of the other person's palm and sighed softly.

…

Just as the two high-fived each other, Xu Bin opened his eyes first in the tent of the eight-man team.

He raised his eyes and looked around for a while, and found that everyone was still in meditation at the same place. Only Lu Yu and Ling Yufei's seats were empty.

In such a dark night, the two of them were not resting in the tent. What on earth were they doing?

Xu Bin suddenly felt his heart sinking.

In his mind, a voice suddenly echoed continuously.

"Senior Brother Xu Bin, even if you work a hundred times harder and pay a hundred times more, Ling Yufei will never fall in love with you."

This was what Yu Qingya, Su Jianqiu and others came to lobby Ling Yufei last time, but they were met with failure. When they left, Yu Qingya said to him in private.

Originally, he only thought that this sentence was to deliberately disturb him and ignored it at all. But until this time, he was shocked to realize that this seemed to be a fact. It's just that I was so carried away by my emotions that I didn't take these words to heart at all.

He gradually clenched his fists, with clear hatred in his eyes.
