Chapter 380 High Five Alliance
It was a dark and cold night outside the tent.
Ling Yufei left the tent and found Lu Yu standing at the edge of the formation, staring straight at the dark night outside, with a deep gaze and a solemn face.
She hurried over and asked, "What's the problem?"
Lu Yu had nothing to say.
At this moment, Ling Yufei heard a slight noise, as if something was approaching in the night opposite. She was shocked and immediately put her hand on the hilt of the sword.
Then, a figure walked out of the night.
"Senior Brother Ge Huairen?"
Ling Yufei called out the other person's name with a little surprise.
After she called out like this, Lu Yu also recognized that the person was indeed very familiar. He was one of the members of the ambush plan, and his identity seemed to be a true disciple of Wuya Xian Pavilion.
Ge Huairen was surprised to see the two standing in the night: "Two junior brothers and sisters, what are you doing here? Hurry up and take a rest!"
Lu Yu asked back: "What is Brother Ge doing here?"
Ge Huairen said: "I am the sentry in charge of the alert under the order of the garrison general. It was my turn to be on duty just now, so I patrolled around the camp... Is there any problem?"
Lu Yu then asked: "Did 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 frowned.
Ling Yufei asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? Did you see anything just now?"
Lu Yu shook his head gently: "I didn't see anything either, but I just had a very bad feeling, but I can't tell what it was..."
Ge Huairen smiled and said: "Could it be that the previous battle at the top of the Desperate Mountains has left Junior Brother Lu Yu with sequelae?"
"I just patrolled around, not to mention the fallen demons, there is not even a single insect in this area, so don't be suspicious anymore, take the time to rest!"
"As the main attacker, your task is very heavy!"
Ge Huairen patted Lu Yu on the shoulder, then left and patrolled other parts of the camp.
Lu Yu sighed for a long time and smiled at Ling Yufei: "I have been too nervous this day. Maybe I am overthinking it!"
Ling Yufei recalled that when he was at the top of the Desperate Mountains during the day, Lu Yu faced the rolling black air alone. His arrogant and indomitable figure and his majestic momentum under the starlight, and she felt a sense of excitement in her heart. She couldn't help but be a little crazy for a while.
She secretly thought that if an ordinary person faced the breath of the King of Heavenly Prison head-on, he might have a demon in his heart. In comparison, he was just a little overreacted, which was really nothing.
"In fact, there is indeed a reason, but this 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, "Let's continue with the topic just now. Didn't you ask me why I approached you?"
"Oh..."
Ling Yufei suddenly realized.
"Then tell me, what is the reason?"
"It's very simple, because of people!" Lu Yu said as a matter of course.
Ling Yufei was caught off guard and her face turned red again.
This guy really dared to say it, and really put the reason here on the table?
Just when Ling Yufei couldn't help but want to stomp her feet and leave, Lu Yu suddenly added another sentence.
"However, Senior Sister Ling, please don't misunderstand me. What I mean by "for the sake of people" is not about love between men and women. Although I admire you very much, I will not blaspheme you in this way..."
"What I mean by "for the sake of people" is about talented people! All of you are extremely talented. Senior Sister Ling, needless to say, is already a true disciple with the cultivation level of Guihai Realm. Although the other senior brothers and sisters have not entered the Guihai Realm, they have already reached the ninth level of the Zhenyuan Realm, which is one step away from the Guihai Realm..."
"It can be predicted that in the near future, you will all be outstanding disciples and mainstays of the Bixiao Palace!"
"As for me, as I told Senior Sister Ling before, I The Jade Butterfly Peak located in the Dali Sword Sect is the weakest peak in the entire Dali Sword Sect, but I have a dream. I don’t want the Jade Butterfly Peak to continue to be weak. I hope to lead the Jade Butterfly Peak to rise! "
"Since we want to rise, in addition to developing our own strength, we also need to find reliable allies outside. With the strength of our Jade Butterfly Peak, we are not qualified to make friends with the Bohai Palace, so we have to settle for the second best and make friends with several disciples with unlimited potential. One day, when your strength grows to be enough to influence the entire Bohai Palace, our Jade Butterfly Peak will naturally rise with it. "
"This is all my ambition, and why I conceal my true strength and mix with you..."
"Actually, what I said to Senior Sister Ling before was the truth. I really hope to gain Senior Sister Ling's friendship... It's not just limited to friendship between friends, but also friendship between allies!"
Ling Yufei was completely stunned by Lu Yu's words.
She didn't expect Lu Yu to have such lofty ambitions. With only the cultivation of the True Yuan Realm, he has been working hard for the affairs of the True Person.
She didn't expect that in Lu Yu's mind, he actually thought so highly of herself and felt that she would be the mainstay of the Bohai Palace in the future...
"Ally?"
Ling Yufei couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. If I can't get enough original crystal cores to report back this time, I'm afraid I'll be expelled from the sect. What qualifications do I have to talk about allies?"
Lu Yu asked: "How many original crystal cores do you need to complete the mission and report back?"
Ling Yufei's smile became more bitter: "Ten for compensation, plus ten for punishment, a total of twenty..."
Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and cursed in his heart. This Bohai Palace is really shady! I only lost ten, but I have to pay twice as much!
It's because I met Ling Yufei, who is so honest. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have rebelled against the sect and founded their own sect like Xue Peng and Gong Yangjing.
However, in order to be able to spy on the information about his mother, Lu Yu still endured it and smiled: "It's okay, since we are allies, we should help each other! I promise you that no matter what, I will help you collect 20 original crystal cores! Of course, in return, I also have a small thing to ask you... How about it?"
Ling Yufei was stunned. She couldn't think of what Lu Yu would need her help with, and she couldn't think of what kind of thing would make him willing to pay the price of 20 original crystal cores.
"What is it?"
"Find someone..." Lu Yu said ambiguously.
"Who is it?"
"I'll tell you her name after the matter here is settled! Let this moment be the beginning of our alliance, how about it?"
Lu Yu said with a smile, and stretched out his palm to Ling Yufei.
Ling Yufei bit her lower lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out her hand.
Snap!
The two palms met, making a light sound.
"Anyway... I don't have a better choice!"
She felt the thickness and strength of the other's palm and sighed.
...
Just as the two of them clapped their hands to make an alliance, Xu Bin was the first to open his eyes in the tent of the eight-man team.
He looked around for a while and found that everyone was still in the same place, only Lu Yu and Ling Yufei's seats were empty.
In such a dark night, the two did not rest in the tent. What on earth did they do?
Xu Bin felt his heart sink.
Suddenly, a voice kept echoing in his mind.
"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 is what Yu Qingya said to him privately when she left when Yu Qingya and Su Jianqiu and others came to lobby Ling Yufei last time but were rejected.
Originally, he thought that this sentence was meant to deliberately disturb him and ignored it, but until this time, he was shocked to realize that this seemed to be a fact. I can only blame myself for being overwhelmed by emotions and not taking these words to heart.
He gradually clenched his fists, and his eyes revealed clear hatred.
