Chapter 159 Unlucky guy
Liu Zhen also underestimated how difficult this man was to deal with. He thought that as long as he could control his temper and not argue with him, he would have no reason to continue making trouble. But now, he actually caught up with him.
Liu Zhen still didn't say anything. Even when someone behind him grabbed his shoulders and pulled him backwards, almost causing him to fall to the ground, he still pursed his lips and said nothing.
The ordinary face without any beauty was now filled with despair and desolation.
Because he saw it, saw the sisters gradually approaching, saw their expressions of surprise, saw them stop and were unwilling to come forward.
"Liu Zhen, you should have some self-awareness! The sect was kind enough not to kick you out, but you still don't know how to behave yourself. This secret realm trial is an opportunity for the entire sect, and it's not something that an unlucky jinx like you can get involved in. Do you understand?"
Perhaps because this verbal humiliation did not elicit a counterattack from the other party, the man became more and more proud as he spoke, as if he had all the truth. At the end, he even patted Liu Zhen's slightly dull face with the fan in his hand, which already implied humiliation in action.
"Unlucky people can't participate in the secret trial?"
Zhou Ling stood in the crowd and suddenly asked very sincerely.
The man didn't expect that someone would talk to him. Although the other party was not good-looking, she was a young girl after all. He couldn't help but answer with more patience.
"Good question! Of course not. Think about it yourself, Junior Sister. Do you want to team up with this unlucky guy to enter the secret realm, and then be dragged down by him to the point of losing everything and being in danger of your life?"
"Of course I don't want to." Zhou Ling shook his head decisively after hearing this.
"That's right, no one would be willing to do this. For this secret realm trial, we should unite and advise Elder Fu to cancel Liu Zhen's qualification to enter the secret realm trial! Otherwise, if he meets fellow disciples like us after entering, he will pass on the bad luck to us!"
The man who took advantage of the situation seemed to want to boldly incite people to accomplish what he wanted.
But Zhou Ling did not agree, and no one around agreed either.
After all, no one is a fool. To give advice is to exclude this person with the intention of driving him out of the sect. They are all cultivators and do not have enough time to spend on cultivation. Who would be willing to take care of these trivial matters?
Although he is said to be an unlucky guy, every time bad things happen only to those who are good friends with him or in his team. Many people present don't actually know each other. Since they have no connection with each other, how can they be contaminated by bad luck?
The man who was holding on to Liu Zhen and refusing to give in was because he used to be good friends with Liu Zhen. Later, he was injured and lost some things while performing the sect's mission. In addition, rumors spread within the sect that Liu Zhen was an unlucky man, so he believed it to be true.
It is quite sad that we used to be good friends but ended up in the current situation.
"Brother, did you misunderstand something? No one wants bad things to happen. When I said I didn't want to, I meant this, not that I didn't want to team up with Brother Liu."
Zhou Ling's voice sounded at the right time.
The man who was making things difficult for Liu Zhen was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and looked at Zhou Ling in disbelief.
"What did you say? Are you willing to team up with this unlucky guy?"
"I'm not teaming up with the unlucky guy, I'm teaming up with Senior Brother Liu."
Zhou Ling smiled widely, and her face, which was not very pretty after the disguise, became more approachable with this smile.
"Are you crazy? Junior sister, have you not been in the sect during this period of time? Don't you know what happened in the sect?" Obviously, the man was very surprised that Zhou Ling suddenly stood up and opposed him, and he opened his mouth to try to persuade her.
"During this period of time, he was on a sect mission and did not return. However, I can still see clearly the character of Senior Brother Liu. He is much more noble than some people who try to slander and exclude their fellow disciples, and is more worthy of trust."
As Zhou Ling spoke, he took two steps forward and patted the person who was still in a daze.
"Let's go, Senior Brother Liu, don't we still need to sign the contract?"
"Are you sure you still want to go with me?" Liu Zhen spoke, but he still felt dazed and unreal in his heart.
This was the first time someone spoke up to defend him in public!
After entering the sect and suffering so many years, at this moment, when someone was willing to believe him, he felt his nose sore and his eyes hot, as if he could cry at any time.
"Although a lot of bad things have happened around me and many people have indeed been implicated, I can guarantee that what happened to them has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"Well, I believe in Brother Liu."
Zhou Ling smiled and nodded in response. She didn't dare to say anything else, but she was usually accurate in judging people.
Many times she survived by relying on her intuition, and this time, she still believed in her intuition.
After ups and downs, twists and turns, it finally went smoothly. Liu Zhen's heart was a little numb.
But he led Zhou Ling and her daughter and strode forward. No matter how much the people behind him shouted, he never looked back this time.
His worries were resolved, and when they arrived at the Foreign Affairs Hall and officially started signing the team contract, Zhou Ling finally put his heart at ease.
As early as when she saw the scene at the entrance of their sect, she should have thought that if even the gate was in that state, how could the records of the Foreign Affairs Hall be so advanced?
As expected from the beginning, the so-called signing of the team contract was recorded in the most original form and properly preserved.
There is no need to verify your identity. You just need to show your disciple ID card, state your name and the name of your team members, and the contract will be signed.
With this thin piece of paper, you will have a fixed teammate in the subsequent exploration of the secret realm.
The reason why the sect has this strict rule that if you want to enter the secret realm, you must find suitable teammates is because all the dangers encountered there cannot be handled by one person alone.
During the secret trial, there is no guarantee that there won’t be people who want to take advantage of the opportunity to kill people and steal treasures, and disregard the interests of the sect for personal gain.
Therefore, with such tightly bound teammates, all disciples of the sect are prohibited from fighting alone. Then when the secret realm trial is over, the number of disciples lost by the sect can be safely reduced.
This is something the sect considers for its disciples, and it is actually quite conscientious.
But what’s the use of conscience?
People like Zhou Ling and Zhou Li who sneaked in from outside can successfully find teammates and enter the secret realm. With their precedent, there is naturally no need to mention others.
Therefore, danger is still everywhere, whether it is the monsters in the secret realm or the so-called "fellow disciples" who enter the secret realm.
