Chapter 356: Please Teach Me, Miss

Chapter 357: Famous Throughout the Valley

Had Ning Zhuo not worn an expression of pure earnestness, with clear, innocent eyes, Lin Shanshan would have already rebuked him as a "scoundrel."

Just as Lin Shanshan was about to refuse, Ning Zhuo patted his belt and retrieved the mechanical arms from before.

"Miss Lin, these two mechanical floating arms are a gift for you."

"Would you control them and instruct me in martial arts?"

Lin Shanshan gasped, the reservations in her heart dissipating by more than half. She hesitated, saying, "These mechanical floating arms are likely your trump card. Are you just giving them to me?"

What kind of trump card is this!

But Ning Zhuo still appeared to hesitate for a moment.

Then, he sincerely said, "Firstly, I trust your character, Miss. Even if I reveal the details of the mechanical arms before you, I have no worries whatsoever."

"Secondly, I deeply agree about my shortcomings in martial arts. This time I face Han Zhou, and in the future, I will have to face other figures. Every battle will require facing this. Therefore, it's better to start solving this problem now!"

Such a resolute attitude garnered even more admiration from Lin Shanshan.

Without any further concerns, Lin Shanshan proactively accepted the mechanical floating arms. "Since that is the case, then let us begin the special training."

The training focused on practical combat. Lin Shanshan did her best to imitate Han Zhou's fighting style and sparred with Ning Zhuo.

Ning Zhuo's cultivation was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, while Lin Shanshan was at the late stage. Furthermore, Ning Zhuo could restrain the power of his spells, the goal being to simulate how to turn the tide and create distance when a strong enemy closed in.

Lin Shanshan's repeated charges left Ning Zhuo struggling to cope, and he quickly became drenched in sweat.

An hour and a half swiftly passed.

Seeing Ning Zhuo's movements become distorted and his stamina depleted, Lin Shanshan voluntarily stopped. "Today's training will end here."

Ning Zhuo was utterly exhausted, panting heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat. "Th-thank you, Miss Lin..."

"Today's sparring has benefited me greatly!"

Lin Shanshan also had a slight sheen of sweat, but a sweep of her magic power made her dry and refreshed again.

She said, "Young Master Ning Zhuo, I can tell that you usually focus on practicing spells. You haven't done much sparring like today, have you?"

Ning Zhuo nodded. "Miss Lin's insight is keen; you make me feel ashamed."

Lin Shanshan shook her head, her expression serious. "You may not have realized it, but look at your performance before and after this sparring session. Your progress is significant, which demonstrates your talent."

"You possess comprehension. Only by thinking earnestly, experiencing your shortcomings, and constantly adjusting could you achieve the training results of today."

"What you lack most is actual combat experience."

"Therefore, Minor Contention Peak is truly suitable for you, Young Master Ning Zhuo."

"This time, even if you lose to Han Zhou, please do not mind. As long as you stay at Minor Contention Peak for a few months, you will undoubtedly undergo a transformative improvement!"

Lin Shanshan, on one hand, affirmed Ning Zhuo's talent and comprehension, and on the other hand, gave him sincere advice, as well as comfort and encouragement.

Even losing doesn't matter; the future is yours.

Ning Zhuo nodded, staring intently at Lin Shanshan. "Without your guidance and sparring every time, how could I achieve such results today by training alone behind closed doors?"

"When shall we continue here tomorrow?"

Lin Shanshan was startled.

She had never thought about continuing to instruct him. In her mind, teaching him this one time was enough.

My Buddhist Demon Heart Seal!

Under Ning Zhuo's influence, the words Lin Shanshan was about to use to refuse turned into agreement. "Alright, tomorrow we will continue here, at the same time. How does that sound?"

"Thank you, Miss Lin!" Ning Zhuo bowed deeply and took out four stalks of Mist Bloom Orchids. "This is a small token of my appreciation..."

Lin Shanshan chuckled. "I said before, I bear some responsibility for Han Zhou's challenge. Young Master Ning Zhuo, I am merely acting in accordance with my true intentions. If I accept your gift, the situation will change for me."

"Can you understand?"

Ning Zhuo sighed deeply. "I understand. Miss Lin's character is noble and upright, truly worthy of being a prodigy of the Myriad Medicine Sect! Such bearing is something I have rarely seen in my life!"

Lin Shanshan had been praised countless times, but being praised so directly, face-to-face, lavishly, and with such sincere expression by Ning Zhuo was the first time.

Consequently, when Lin Shanshan walked out of the training ground, her steps were slightly hurried.

"An hour and a half, they stayed in the training ground the entire time..." Many disciples had already been observing.

Seeing Lin Shanshan and Ning Zhuo emerge together, they cast discreet glances.

They saw the sweat-drenched, unsteady Ning Zhuo, and also saw the slightly tense-looking Lin Shanshan walking ahead.

All sorts of conjectures surfaced in their hearts.

As Lin Shanshan passed by the disciples, she suddenly paused.

"Right," she instructed, "Reserve one of the Heavenly-grade training grounds. I will need to use it for the next few days!"

"Understood," the disciples immediately agreed, while their hearts were greatly shaken. Hearing Lin Shanshan, it seemed she would be spending time with this young man multiple times!

"Who exactly is this young man?" This huge question lingered in the minds of many.

Therefore, when Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan said their goodbyes and left, he immediately received proactive greetings from many people, who indirectly inquired about his background.

Ning Zhuo did not conceal anything. He spoke a little about his identity and clarified the situation: he was challenged by Han Zhou, and Lin Shanshan, truly a prodigy of the Myriad Medicine Sect, with her righteous and warm heart and extraordinary bearing, took the initiative to help him prepare for the battle.

"Is our Young Miss truly so warm-hearted?"

"She is indeed willing to help others, but this is the first time she has assisted a stranger to such an extent."

"Why didn't Han Zhou challenge me? This kid Ning Zhuo has truly turned misfortune into a blessing!"

News about Ning Zhuo and Lin Shanshan quickly spread.

When Li Jingqing received this news, his face turned pale!

"It's over!"

"It will be effortless for Lin Shanshan to uncover the inside story. Her showing such partiality further indicates her attitude towards me."

"I was planning to build good relations with the Myriad Medicine Sect, and suddenly, I've offended the Sect Master's beloved daughter. How did this happen?!"

Li Jingqing regretted it so much he wanted to slap himself.

"Overreached and botched it!"

"Overreached and botched it!" He sighed endlessly and suffered from insomnia that night, tossing and turning in bed.

In the early morning, he made up his mind. After washing up, he carefully tidied his attire.

After leaving his cave dwelling, he ascended all the way up, finally stopping before cave dwelling number two hundred and eighty-one.

He activated his magical power, sent it into the magic array on the mountain wall at the entrance of the cave dwelling, and then smoothly cast his visiting card into the magic array.

The next moment, the visiting card was transmitted through the magic array into Ning Zhuo's hands.

Ning Zhuo unfolded the letter and saw thousands of words, but he only noticed the words "apology."

"A bit interesting."

He put away the visiting card and actively stood up. First, he notified Sun Lingtong, who was sleeping in the Myriad Miles Soaring Dragon, to control the mechanical dragon and lie in wait nearby as a backup, strictly guarding against any mishaps.

Then, Ning Zhuo opened the magic array of the cave dwelling and gracefully invited Li Jingqing inside for a detailed discussion.

Li Jingqing brought heavy gifts to apologize.

However, Ning Zhuo did not accept a single one. "The truth of your scheming behind the scenes, I have already learned from Senior Sister Lin Shanshan."

"I understand you, but I also dislike you."

"However, since you took the initiative to apologize today and your sincerity is evident, we can consider ourselves having come to know each other through conflict."

"I will not accept any of these gifts."

"To tell you the truth, being able to fight Han Zhou is an honor for me, and I am quite looking forward to it."

Li Jingqing pointed to the jade slip among the gifts. "Here is the latest intelligence on Han Zhou that I have collected, absolutely verified."

Ning Zhuo glanced at the jade slip, then withdrew his gaze. "I believe your apology is sincere. But I will not use such things."

"I want to rely on my own strength to face the first battle."

"Regarding your matter, I will speak to Senior Sister Lin Shanshan."

Seeing Li Jingqing about to take out more heavy gifts, Ning Zhuo waved his hand and directly interrupted him. "Don't even think about me putting in a good word for you! I will only speak the truth."

"You can leave."

Li Jingqing observed his expression and saw the seriousness on Ning Zhuo's face. He realized that he could not be too hasty, so he could only nod and bow, retrieve all the gifts of apology, and leave the cave dwelling.

When he saw Lin Shanshan again, Ning Zhuo truthfully told her about Li Jingqing's matter.

"He is merely a merchant, not worth mentioning," Lin Shanshan shook her head. "I never intended to make things difficult for him."

"However, you don't need to tell him yet; let him worry for a few days."

Lin Shanshan was very satisfied with Ning Zhuo's handling of the situation this time. This was the behavior of a good man. If Ning Zhuo had genuinely accepted Li Jingqing's apology and consequently withdrawn from the challenge against Han Zhou, while Lin Shanshan could understand, she would also look down on Ning Zhuo.

"I will be watching your battle with Han Zhou," Lin Shanshan's favorable impression of Ning Zhuo increased, and she couldn't help but say.

Ning Zhuo's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fists. "In that case, I will certainly not lose!"

Lin Shanshan inwardly exclaimed, "Good!" and was also spurred on by a fighting spirit. "Young Master Ning Zhuo, Han Zhou is indeed stronger than you, but you are not without a chance of winning. The special training in the next few days might be the key to victory or defeat this time!"

Ning Zhuo nodded. "I understand. Let's begin."

The two of them continued their special training for several days, giving rise to many rumors.

From childhood, Lin Shanshan had always been the center of attention in the Myriad Medicine Sect. This led to information about Ning Zhuo also being known by countless cultivators. When many male cultivators mentioned Ning Zhuo's name, their teeth inevitably itched.

Some cultivators secretly sought out Han Zhou, proactively offering to lend him magical artifacts or providing intelligence about Ning Zhuo.

As a result, Han Zhou refused them all.

His words were direct. "I heard about Li Jingqing wanting to send my intelligence to that Ning Zhuo as an apology. However, Ning Zhuo refused him."

"He is so magnanimous. Although I am a beggar, I am also a man. How could I compromise my integrity?"

"Go, all of you, go. Let me have a straightforward and exhilarating battle with him!"

Under Sun Lingtong's efforts, the performances and choices of Ning Zhuo and Han Zhou spread in the form of rumors.

The battle between Ning Zhuo and Han Zhou attracted even more attention.

Their reputations and public perception also rose.

Especially Ning Zhuo, as an outsider who had been here for less than half a month, had already become famous on Minor Contention Peak and the Original Mountain.
