He Couldn't Have Been Pretending to Dislike It While Secretly Longing for It All Along, Could He?

"It's over, I'm probably going to die here today."

"Oh no, this is really troublesome!"

"It's not that I don't want to hear it..."

Now everyone was truly panicked.

Judging from what just happened, the Huaxia Sect member was completely unable to restrain this powerful figure.

If this powerful figure wanted to kill them, it would probably be an easy task.

That would be troublesome.

They were merely an obstacle before, but now that they've overheard the secret, is there any chance they can survive?

Everyone knew the truth: if they were in Jin Wuliang's position, they wouldn't hesitate at all to silence him.

Just as everyone was somewhat at a loss, Gu De's voice boomed like thunder.

"I implore Venerable Baimei to save us!"

One sentence immediately cleared the minds of everyone present.

Yes, since we don't have any solutions ourselves right now, we can only hope for external help.

As for what the external force is, we have already successfully tried it before.

Of course, they hope that this powerful figure from the Huaxia Sect will take action.

Self-rescue may not be easy, but shouting slogans is.

At that moment, the crowd once again launched a wave of slogans.

"We earnestly request Venerable Baimei to lend a helping hand!"

"We earnestly request Venerable Baimei to lend a helping hand!"

Even more so, some people are now competing at this time, adding an extra sentence.

"We are willing to serve you like cattle or horses to repay your life-saving grace!"

At the same time, Jiang Tong's voice rang in Lu Changzhi's ear.

"How was it? How was the game?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi replied.

"It has some effect, but the effect is limited. Jin Wuliang's strength is still too great."

"Although this melon helped me achieve the Ball-Blasting Old Man effect, the whole process did take quite a bit of time."

"It's fine to use it for fun or as a means, but it's extremely difficult to use it to eliminate Jin Wuliang suppress him."

"What are your plans for Jin Wuliang, Ancestor?"

Before Jiang Tong could respond, Lu Changzhi added another sentence.

The sound of Jiang Tong rang out.

"Give him a beating, then take him down. He's been to many places over the years, and he's hidden quite a few good things."

After a pause, Jiang Tong the subject and said...

"That's about enough. Come on, take it all in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi immediately felt a surge of power flow into Li Baimei's body without warning.

He immediately recalled what the ancestor had said earlier and roughly understood the ancestor's intention.

It must be that they want me to take action and learn from the experience.

"However, Li Baimei's physical body seems a bit weak?"

Lu Changzhi checked again to confirm.

Perhaps Li Baimei's body wasn't weak; it was just that the power instilled by the ancestor was too strong.

Of course, it's also possible that Li Baimei's physical body isn't strong enough.

In short, in the blink of an eye, Lu Changzhi felt considerable pressure from this body.

"Oh, right."

At that moment, a sudden inspiration struck Lu Changzhi, and he suddenly recalled the task that Gu Chen had given Li Baimei.

At that moment, Lu Changzhi spoke aloud to Li Baimei's mind.

"Your physical body is about to give out. Do you have any methods to strengthen your body? If you don't use them now, you might not have another chance."

Upon hearing this, Li Baimei was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"This junior has indeed cultivated techniques to strengthen the physical body, passed down through generations in the clan, but—"

As he spoke, Li Baimei paused again.

"Just what?"

Lu Changzhi pressed for an answer.

There was a hint of helplessness in Li Baimei's voice.

"It just might not work well."

"It doesn't work well?"

Lu Changzhi was somewhat surprised, but he still spoke.

"Try it out first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Changzhi relinquished control of Li Baimei's physical body.

Upon regaining control of his physical body, Li Baimei's expression immediately changed.

This senior has too much faith in himself. The power is surging in so quickly and with such intensity, yet he still tells him things at a leisurely pace.

If this trend continues, it won't be long before my body really can't take it anymore.

At that moment, Li Baimei dared not hesitate at all. This method, which she hadn't used often before but was now using quite frequently, was being activated.

"Ancestor, Aid Me!"

Li Baimei.

The next moment, Lu Changzhi felt a strong resistance emanating from Li Baimei's body.

They didn't say anything, but their resistance, disdain, and disappointment were very obvious.

This...

Lu Changzhi's thoughts suddenly became active, and a guess flashed through his mind.

"Could it be that Li Baimei is using the 'Ancestor, Aid Me' tactic to curry favor with people?"

Seeing that it wasn't working at all, Li Baimei started to get anxious.

On the one hand, I feel that my physical condition is indeed somewhat precarious.

On the other hand, we can't afford to mess things up at a time like this, otherwise we'll definitely leave a bad impression on this powerful person.

Li Baimei immediately began to explain.

"Ancestor, this time it's really not for those kinds of things, I promise!"

This single sentence confirmed Lu Changzhi's suspicions.

However, that feeling of resistance didn't lessen much.

Now Li Baimei was truly anxious and said...

"My body can't take it anymore! If my body is destroyed, forget about anything else, nothing will ever happen again!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Baimei realized that she had emphasized the wrong point in her haste.

This explanation clearly praises the matter of getting the old patriarch to come out and help serve Lord Yang.

The ancestor clearly rejected this kind of thing.

Saying it like this now would be disastrous, wouldn't it?

However, before Li Baimei could explain anything further...

"Brush--"

That feeling of resistance vanished instantly.

Li Baimei's body began to rapidly strengthen under the influence of the "Ancestor, Aid Me" technique.

Feeling this way, Li Baimei was dumbfounded.

An idea finally flashed through my mind.

"No, we can't keep having these ulterior motives forever, can we?!"

Boom boom boom--

As Li Baimei's physical body grew stronger, the speed at which power was being channeled into him also increased.

Under the shocked yet delighted gazes of the crowd, in just a few breaths, Li Baimei's aura had clearly become no weaker than Jin Wuliang's.

For a moment, many people felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from their shoulders, and some even had extra energy to turn and look at Jin Wuliang.

Jin Wuliang's expression at this moment did not show any particular anger; rather, it was one of neither sadness nor joy.

He simply gazed at Li Baimei's figure and said.

"If that's the case, why not just give us a clean break from the start?"

"Make your move, let me see just how real your power is."
