Chapter Thirty-Six: It turns out that I am the backer!
The next day.
On Pojun Peak.
Meng Xiu, Xiong Hu and others all looked a little solemn.
Several people looked at each other and could see the worry in each other's eyes.
"Why is it that in just one day, the merit points for the task of chopping ironwood dropped from twenty points to the previous two points..."
After all, it was Xiong Hu who didn't hold back, and his voice broke the condensation of the atmosphere.
"I heard that it was Master Xu Zhao of Alchemy Peak who did it."
Liang Tian opened his mouth and said, his face didn't look good either.
"If it is really the Peak Master who did it, what should we do?"
Meng Xiu suddenly spoke.
As soon as he spoke, several other people looked at each other, and the atmosphere on the field became condensed again.
"I have sent someone to invite Junior Brother Lu Li to come over."
After a long time, Liang Tian rubbed his brow and spoke softly.
"If it is really the Peak Master who took action, Junior Brother Lu Li has not yet held the apprenticeship ceremony, and Peak Master Sikong has been away for several months. Can Junior Brother Lu do anything?"
Meng Xiu's voice fell on everyone's ears.
Make everyone's heart heavier.
"I wonder what makes you senior brothers so depressed?"
When everyone was silent, Lu Li, who hurried over, opened the door and looked at everyone and asked.
He didn't know what happened.
Seeing Lu Li arriving, Meng Xiu quickly stood up and asked Lu Li to sit down, and then started to explain.
After a while, Lu Li finished listening to Meng Xiu's explanation.
In the small room, there was another person frowning and thinking.
"Logically speaking, the Peak Master will not take action in matters between our disciples. Does Junior Brother know why Peak Master Xu Zhao did this?"
Seeing that Lu Li was silent for a long time, Liang Tian couldn't help but ask first.
"Where did Senior Brother Liang hear the news that this incident was done by Peak Master Xu Zhao?"
Lu Li looked at Liang Tian when he heard this.
"I heard this matter from the disciples of Alchemy Peak in the Hall of Merit. I'm afraid it has already spread throughout Senluo Mountain."
Liang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"In my opinion, this is definitely not the fault of Peak Master Xu Zhao."
Lu Li spoke firmly.
"Why?"
Xiong Hu, who had been silent all this time, spoke in confusion.
"First of all, Senior Brother Liang is right. This is a matter between our disciples, and the Peak Master will not take action. In addition, if the Peak Master really took action, how could the news be spread?"
Lu Li knocked on the table and said.
Hearing this, several people present couldn't help but nodded.
What Lu Li said was indeed true. If it was really the Peak Master who did it, how could the news be spread?
"So, junior brother, what do you mean?"
Liang Tian looked at Lu Li thoughtfully.
"Senior Brother Liang, didn't you also think of it?"
Lu Li and Liang Tian looked at each other, with a smile on their lips.
"Since it was not the fault of the Peak Master, it was naturally the idea of some disciples to unite to put pressure on us in the name of the Peak Master..."
"Then how should we deal with them?"
Meng Xiu frowned and spoke.
"Senior brothers, you are responsible for stabilizing the senior brothers on Pojun Peak. It is up to the junior brothers to take action in this matter."
Lu Li stood up confidently, looked at everyone and smiled.
"Junior brother, can you handle it alone?"
Chai Dong, who had never spoken before, suddenly spoke.
"Senior brother, don't worry, everything is under your control."
Lu Li nodded.
Are everything under control...?
Liang Tian murmured in his heart, looking at Lu Li, he always felt that Lu Li was a little unnatural.
"Then I will deal with this matter first. All senior brothers, just wait for the good news from me."
Lu Li noticed Liang Tian's gaze and left quickly with an excuse.
Just as he left the house, Lu Li's face fell.
The smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Just after listening to what Meng Xiu said, he realized that today's change in the mission of the Hall of Merit was definitely caused by Wu Fa and the others.
Just to stabilize Meng Xiu and others, he had no choice but to bring up the topic of the other disciples' threats against them.
Only he knew in his heart that except for the Peak Master, there was probably no way anyone could restore the mission achievements to their previous appearance in just one night.
However, in his opinion, Wu Fa and the others seemed to be getting no benefit from lowering the merit points of the mission.
However, yesterday on the Meritorious Peak, Wu Fa was unwilling to tell him their plans no matter what he said, so Lu Li didn't know what Wu Fa's move meant.
The Riddler deserves to die!
After thinking about it without any results, Lu Li cursed in his heart and rushed straight towards Merit Peak.
There were many people talking in the Hall of Merit, so he planned to go there to see if he could collect some information.
The whole journey was speechless.
When Lu Li arrived at the Hall of Merit, his figure stagnated.
In the past, the Hall of Merit was bustling with people and bustling, but today there were only three or two people here and there.
"Senior sister, junior brother, can you ask me why there are only so few people in our Hall of Merit today?"
Lu Li stopped a senior sister who was about to leave, saluted and asked.
"Junior brother, don't you know?"
The senior sister who was stopped by Lu Li looked a little confused.
"Did something happen?" Lu Li scratched his head.
"Today, all the peak masters issued an order. Since the disciples of Pojun Peak did not accept the task, the iron wood storage of Alchemy Peak was insufficient, so the disciples of each peak who did not have a task were forced to come to the Hall of Merit to accept the task of chopping iron wood.
"
The senior sister explained with a frown.
Lu Li pretended to be confused: "Junior brother heard yesterday that the task of chopping iron wood has been increased to twenty merit points. I wonder why senior sister is so melancholy?"
Hearing this, the senior sister seemed to have opened up her chatterbox and couldn't help but complain to Lu Li.
"Junior brother, your news is out of date. The reward for today's task of chopping ironwood has become only two points of merit."
"How can the sect be so forceful and make things difficult for others!"
Lu Li couldn't help but jump when he heard this.
"Junior brother, please keep your voice down." Lu Li's actions startled the senior sister. He quickly stopped Lu Li and whispered: "Junior brother, do you know who gave all this to me?"
"Given by whom?"
"Junior brother, please don't spread rumors. Senior sister, I heard that Master Sikong of the Tenth Peak recently accepted a new disciple. It was he who suggested this bad idea to the peak masters. Moreover, Senior Sister also heard that he wanted to challenge Po Jun.
The master of Yanfeng learned physical skills and flattered me by saying that he could solve the physical training dilemma of Po Junfeng."
The senior sister spoke softly.
"ah?"
Lu Li was stunned when he heard such exciting gossip.
But the next moment, he regained consciousness, looked at the senior sister in front of him, and nodded empathetically.
"That's right, how can this person be so bad? But where did Senior Sister hear this news? Is it accurate?"
"It goes without saying that Senior Sister heard this news from the disciples of Po Junfeng herself. Keep it true."
Hearing Lu Li question himself, the senior sister said proudly.
Lu Li hesitated for a moment, then asked again: "Sister, do you know the name of the disciple of Peak Master Sikong?"
Hearing this, the senior sister first glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to her, and then said in a low voice: "Junior brother, please don't spread rumors. I heard that the man's name is Lu Li. He has a violent and capricious personality. He likes to hold grudges and has a long life.
It’s too ugly to look at.”
(○o○)!
Lu Li's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice with a look of concern on his face: "Senior Sister, aren't you afraid that he will hear you and take revenge when you say that to him?"
"Impossible, junior brother, please don't spread rumors. I heard that the man's legs were broken by Master Sikong because he was disobedient, so no one even the disciples of Pojun Peak have seen him; and now the disciples of Pojun Peak actually
He also lived a miserable life. He was restricted to Pojun Peak by relying on his status, and could not complete missions. I heard that many disciples already had neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm..."
"Sister, please stop talking, be careful that walls have ears."
Listening to the senior sister in front of him speaking more and more outrageously, Lu Li quickly stopped her.
"Junior brother, what you are reminding me is that you should hurry up and accept the mission. As long as we complete the current tree-viewing mission, the Pojun Peak disciples should be released to accept the mission."
The senior sister who had a lot of gossip quickly stopped talking and reminded Lu Li with a kind face.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for reminding me. I'll go take over the mission right away. Senior Sister, please walk slowly."
Lu Li saluted and watched the grapevine senior sister leave, and couldn't help but sigh.
He already understood at this time that the reason why Wu Fa refused to tell him his plan yesterday was because he needed to take the blame.
