Everyone, come and greet your Martial Uncle Lu
The investigation into the mastermind behind the Sunset Glow Village massacre has already yielded some results.
At least the Dark Hall and a key Shenjizi, have been identified.
As for "the Heavenly Secrets Turmoil, so Slay the Unusual Threat," that's rather nonsensical.
However, Lu Ping also had some guesses.
Logically speaking, he should have stopped there and gone home to continue his life of hiding.
Therefore, Lu Ping chose B.
[You chose B.]
[You took out a Jade Bottle from your Storage Ring and handed it over.]
"Senior Ye, this is a high-grade Detoxification Pill that I refined."
[You speak calmly.]
"Senior's cultivation is profound; suppressing this residual poison is naturally a piece of cake."
"However, the cultivation levels of your disciples are still shallow. If the poison is not removed in time, it may damage their foundation."
[ For Heavy Tomato Users, this is in effect.]
[You stand calmly in the Abandoned Village shrouded in poisonous fog, as if strolling in your own backyard.]
[Ye Zhi, though forcing himself to remain calm, still revealed through his slightly disordered breathing that he was distracted by suppressing the poison.]
Your gesture is both a gesture of goodwill and a silent expression of your stance.
[I'm not poisoned, I'm in great condition, and I'm still capable of killing Nascent Soul.]
Ye Zhi stared at the Jade Bottle resting in front of him, remaining silent for a moment.
He eventually accepted it, poured out a few Pills, and distributed them to the disciples who had regained consciousness.
[After doing all this, he finally spoke, his voice hoarse.]
"Thank you for your help, young friend."
"Young friend, your Cultivation Method are exquisite, but may I ask, who is your master?"
[You wore a reminiscing expression.]
"It's a long story."
"When I was young, I once had a chance encounter with a senior who roamed the world freely."
He said I was a martial arts prodigy, one in a million, and that we were destined to be together, so he taught me this Cultivation Method.
[Your story is practically a standard template for extraordinary encounters in the world of cultivation.]
[After listening, Ye Zhi's expression shifted, as if he was processing the information.]
[A few breaths later, Ye Zhi suddenly laughed heartily.]
The laughter, though weak, carried a sense of relief and exhilaration.
"Oh, it's you, young friend!"
[Ye Zhi slapped his thigh, stepped forward, and enthusiastically grabbed your arm.]
"Years have passed since we last met, and my young friend has actually embarked on the path of immortality, even reaching the Golden Core. Truly a cause for celebration!"
"It wasn't for nothing that I left a good impression on you back then!"
You froze completely.
Your calm expression almost cracked on the spot.
[You think you're shameless enough.]
Compared to the person in front of you, you realize you're just an innocent, harmless little rabbit.
[This old man actually climbed up your ladder and all the way to your roof!]
[He not only acknowledged the "senior" you mentioned, but he even claimed the role on the spot!]
[Options pop up.]
[A: Following Ye Zhi's lead, temporarily establish cooperation with the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.]
[B: You turned on me immediately. If you want to take advantage of me, you should take one of my Spirit Stones first.]
[C: Grabbing his hand in return, she said indignantly, "You old geezer, the Tathagata Palm technique you gave me back then was a cheap knock-off! You owe me 320,000 Spirit Stones!"]
What's the point of choosing?!
After receiving his Performance Assessment points, Little B started acting crazy.
Let's keep Little B on vacation.
You chose A.
[You chose A.]
[Your face instantly switched to an expression of mixed surprise and delight.]
[The Flattery has taken effect.]
Your voice trembled slightly.
"So... it really is you, senior!"
"Junior... Junior Lu Ping, I have always remembered your guidance back then, and I never expected to meet you here again today!"
Your words True Intention and perfectly logical.
[Ye Zhi looked at you with increasing satisfaction and kindness, as if he were seeing a promising younger generation.]
He patted your shoulder forcefully.
"Haha, okay, okay!"
"Back then, when I saw your extraordinary physique and naturally powerful Divine Sense, I recognized you as an exceptional talent for cultivating the 'Thousand Mechanisms Falling Blossoms Instruction,' and so I casually offered you some guidance."
"I never thought you would be able to walk the path of immortality, but I never expected you to give me such a wonderful surprise!"
His words were clearly heard by the few Thousand Mechanisms Sect disciples who had just recovered.
[Ji Chengfeng and several other disciples were struggling to sit up.]
Hearing this conversation, everyone was stunned.
They looked at each other, their faces full of question marks.
[Master... did you have such an experience back then?]
[A mortal boy whom someone casually mentored has now become Golden Core True Person.]
[And he even saved everyone's lives at a crucial moment?]
This is absolutely outrageous!
[Ji Chengfeng looked at you, then at his own master, his mind a complete mess.]
He couldn't understand how this Golden Core True Person, who looked even younger than himself, had become his master's "old friend."
[Ye Zhi seemed quite pleased with his disciples' reaction. He took your hand and turned to walk towards them.]
"Come here, all of you, greet your Uncle Lu."
"If it weren't for your Uncle Lu's chance encounter and assistance, my disciples and I would all be dead here today."
"Uncle-Master?"
The younger disciples were even more bewildered.
Isn't this generational hierarchy a bit confusing?
[Ye Zhi ignored all that and put on a stern face.]
"What? My words no longer carry any weight?"
"Young friend Lu is a close friend of mine despite our age difference. According to seniority, you should address him as 'Uncle-Master.' Is that inappropriate?"
Ji Chengfeng was the first to react.
He quickly struggled to his feet and bowed respectfully to you.
"Disciple Ji Chengfeng greets Martial Uncle Lu!"
"Thank you so much, Uncle-Master, for saving my life!"
[Upon his bow, the other disciples also snapped out of their daze and, not daring to be negligent, bowed in unison.]
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Lu!"
"Greetings, Martial Uncle Lu!"
[Looking at this scene before you, you are filled with countless emotions.]
[This Nascent Soul cultivator's workplace skills are even more masterful than his Mechanism Arts.]
[Options pop up.]
[A: He readily accepted the title of "senior uncle" and offered a few words of humility.]
[B: Clearly refuse, to avoid being led by the Ye Zhi.]
[C: Helping Ji Chengfeng, she earnestly told him, "In the workplace, you should address people by their job titles."]
