Chapter 3982: When are you going to change your cave abode?

She didn’t even get to lower her status, and was instead mocked by a newbie from Lin Yi District. Xu lingchong’s face darkened, and Kang Zhaoming jumped out,”Consider, your sister! You’re just a poor non-formal cultivator, you’re not even qualified to lick our young master Xu’s toes, and you want me to be your security guard? bullshit!”
Lin Yi laughed,”it doesn’t matter if I’m qualified or not. I don’t like to lick people’s toes anyway. But you, manager Kang, are definitely qualified, right? otherwise, how could you be his follower?”
Kang Zhaoming was stunned and speechless. Although everyone wanted to lick Xu’s toes, they had their pride as practitioners. If he said something like that, how was he going to survive in the welcoming new disciples Pavilion?
“Great Deacon Kang seems to be brimming with energy. His injuries should be almost healed. It’s just as well. The ten days that Pavilion master Hu mentioned last time is almost up. Can you quickly empty out your cave dwelling? I’m still waiting to exchange with the other soaring Pavilion’s newcomers.” Lin Yi raised an eyebrow.
Kang Zhaoming’s face froze again. He thought to himself,”damn it, this situation isn’t right. He’s following young master Xu to show off his power. How did Lin Yi turn the tables with just a few words?”
In fact, because Hu Yunfeng had given him a Grade 4 great recovery pill when he was injured, Zhaoming’s injuries had almost fully recovered a few days ago. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to have sex with Murong Zhen, this woman, day and night.
These days, Kang Zhaoming had been intentionally pushing this matter to the back of his mind. He didn’t even talk to Xu lingchong’s backer. He didn’t think that Lin Yi would expose it in front of Xu lingchong. How was he going to end this?
As expected, lingchong looked at Zhaoming suspiciously as he sensed something was off.”Zhaoming, you’re giving him cave one? What’s going on?”
Recently, Xu lingchong had been busy competing with the southern Heaven Gate for the position of the eldest senior brother of the rising Sky Pavilion. Recently, he had finally made some progress, but then there was the matter of Meng jueguang. In addition, he also had to host Shangguan LAN ‘er’s birthday banquet, so he had no time to care about the small matters of the welcoming new pavilion.
Plus, Kang Zhaoming didn’t take the initiative to confess, and Hu Yunfeng didn’t say anything out of respect for Kang Zhaoming. Xu lingchong had no idea about the cross-Pavilion challenge.
Kang Zhaoming stammered for a long time, unable to say anything. Lin Yi saw this and laughed,”It turns out that young master Xu doesn’t know about this. Great Deacon Kang deliberately concealed the military intelligence. Since Grand Deacon Kang is too embarrassed to say it, then I’ll say it for you. Young master Xu, he lost the number one cave abode to me in the cross-Pavilion challenge last time. According to Pavilion master Hu, now that the ten-day deadline is up, he naturally has to give up the cave abode to me. I can’t let Pavilion master Hu go back on his word, right?”
“There’s such a thing? Hmph, you disappointing thing, I’ll settle the score with you when we get back!” Xu lingchong’s face turned even gloomier.
He could understand that Kang Zhaoming couldn’t beat Lin Yi, but the thing that annoyed him the most was that Kang Zhaoming hid the truth from him. This was intolerable.
As a superior, the thing that Xu lingchong hated the most was his underlings not reporting on their own accord, because this would cause the situation to get out of his control. It was very easy for Lin Yi to inexplicably take the initiative like this!
“Yes, yes. Young master Xu, please calm down. I know I was wrong.” Kang Zhaoming quickly nodded and bowed, pretending to be sad as he explained,”Young master Xu, you have many important people. I just don’t want to trouble you over such a small matter. As your younger brother, I can’t share your burden and instead cause you trouble. I really don’t have the face to ask for it. So, no matter how aggrieved I am, I can only swallow it down and talk about it in the future.”
Kang Zhaoming was a master at acting. He hid the truth because he didn’t want to lose points in front of his master, but he made it sound like he was a sad character who shouldered all the grievances. Even a smart person like Xu lingchong was stunned by his words.
“This means I’ve misunderstood you, Zhaoming. I won’t blame you for this rare gesture of kindness.” Lingchong patted Zhaoming’s shoulder, consoling him.”After all, you are a genuine Alchemist, it’s not strange that you can’t beat others. As long as you do the task this young master has assigned to you well, you will also have a great merit!”
In fact, did Xu lingchong really not know what was going on? In truth, that was not necessarily the case. It was just that he was better at winning over people’s hearts than Meng jueguang.
“Yes, thank you for your understanding, young master Xu. Zhaoming, please do your best!” Kang Zhaoming’s face was full of gratitude, as if he would die for his friend.
Lin Yi was speechless at this scene. This Kang Zhaoming really was an expert at sucking up to people. Even someone like Xu lingchong fell for his tricks. He didn’t get to where he was today purely by luck.
But, as far as Lin Yi was concerned, a guy as smart as lingchong wouldn’t be so easily fooled by Zhaoming. Perhaps lingchong had the intention of creating a big-hearted master image so that his men would be more willing to work for him, and was just using this opportunity to put on an act.
“Alright, the two best actors, don’t be in a hurry to finish your acting. Can great Deacon Kang give me an accurate answer to my question just now?” Lin Yi interrupted with a mocking smile.
Zhaoming was still feeling pleased with himself, but that was quickly replaced by a sullen mood. The ten-day deadline was up, and the cave was going to be Lin Yi ‘s-this was a problem that he couldn’t avoid.
However, to Zhaoming, this cave number one not only meant superior spiritual Qi, it was also a symbol of status.
If Lin Yi claimed the cave for his own use, then it would be fine. At most, Kang Zhaoming would only be embarrassed. But if Lin Yi said that he was going to transfer the cave to another rising Sky Pavilion newbie, then it wouldn’t just be embarrassing. His position as the number one newbie in the rising Sky Pavilion would be threatened, and even Xu lingchong would be affected!
As one of the top young masters in the rising Sky Pavilion, and the pavilion master of the welcoming new pavilion, Hu Yunfeng, was his direct disciple, if the rising Sky Pavilion’s most successful newcomer was not his underling, it would be embarrassing. At the very least, it would prove that he, Xu lingchong, did not have much control over the situation. In other words, it would mean that he was not capable enough.
