Chapter 139: Refusing

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

The news which Li Xiu brought shocked Junior Leopard. It was not because someone was going to mess up Lu Shaoyou's wedding, but because the troublemaker was not the one that Junior Leopard knew.

”Who is Chen Ning?”

”The nephew of the oldest tortoise in Jin!” When it came to Chen Ning's background, Li Xiu's face became a bit graver, ”his cultivation is not high. He's only a master of the Bone-Forging Realm of Level Five, but he is delicate and scheming, an annoying guy!”

”Delicate and scheming?” Junior Leopard raised an eyebrow gently, ”I don't think so. Everybody knows what he is going to do when it hasn't even started. I don't think he is scheming!”

”Except for Uncle Yuan, only I know it!” Li Xiu said, ”Chen Ning sent someone to tell Uncle Yuan about it and I overheard their conversation outside!”

”Overheard their conversation?”

Junior Leopard looked up and looked strangely at Li Xiu, ”Little Li, you think I'm a fool? I've also been to the Admiral's study room. I stood there for several days, right at the door, but I never heard the voices of the people inside. Could it be that your cultivation has improved dramatically these past few days?”

”Well, no, I really overheard it!” Li Xiu was really embarrassed by what he said, ”I know that guy, so I followed him secretly, trying to see what he was up to. I didn't expect to hear such a thing!”

Knowing that Li Xiu did not want to talk about this, Junior Leopard naturally would not entangle himself too much in it.

”Then what does that have to do with you? Are you familiar with Lu Shaoyou?”

”I'm not familiar with him. But he is the expert that I hope to challenge the most!”

Li Xiu showed the expression of a martial mania again when he mentioned Lu Shaoyou. But actually he was very similar to Lu Shaoyou in temperament, tone, even in acting style.

No, it should be said that Lu Shaoyou was very similar to him.

Junior Leopard had not seen it before he met Li Xiu. After getting familiar with Li Xiu, he felt that Lu Shaoyou's temperament of aloof and unworldly was somewhat hypocritical. Maybe Li Xiu's momentum was not as strong as Lu Shaoyou's now, but Junior Leopard believed that once Li Xiu broke through the Bone-Forging Realm and entered the Tendon-Changing Realm, he could absolutely suppress Lu Shaoyou's temperament.

”Even if you want to challenge him, it has nothing to do with this stuff!” Junior Leopard said, ”do you want to take advantage of this opportunity to go with Chen Ning and challenge Lu Shaoyou?”

”Of course not! I'm not a fool! Lu Shaoyou's cultivation is Level Eight, and mine hasn't even reached the Bone-Forging Realm. How do I challenge him?

”What about Chen Ning?”

Junior Leopard asked in confusion, ”do you have a grudge against him?”

”No, but I despise people like him who likes to resort to dirty tricks and nasty plans!”

Watching Li Xiu's somewhat twisted face, Junior Leopard could not help laughing, ”given your expression, do you expect me to believe it?”

”No... Really!” Li Xiu's face flushed with his eyes wandering. He dared not look at Junior Leopard, but his mouth was very tough.

”Enough. I don't want to ask about your relationship. You just said you wanted me to deal with Chen Ning, but how?”

”He sent someone to Uncle Yuan because he was afraid of trouble and wanted to keep his options open in case he fails. He knew that Uncle Yuan didn't like being used, so he told Uncle Yuan about it beforehand!”

”This is even more troubling. He asked the General to find alternatives for him and told the General about such a big deal. That means their relationship is special. If I help you to deal with Chen Ning, and the General learns of it, it will be terrible!”

”Their relationship is not so good. It's just that Uncle Yuan owed him a favor from long ago and hasn't paid it back yet. So even if his request is too much, Uncle Yuan can't put it off. But he just came here to find an alternative, and there was no other thing. Therefore, even if Uncle Yuan know we're going to bother him, he won't mind!”

”I still don't understand why you want to cause him trouble. And even if you're going to cause him trouble, it's none of my business. I don't want to get involved in it!”

”Just by myself, I don't have the confidence!”
