Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER THIRTEEN: A River of Trouble Flows East

After Stone Thousand Mountain said this, he struck a pose that was both elegant and aloof, intending to attract Wu Qianqian’s attention. However, he didn’t notice Wu Qianqian glaring at him fiercely: Is this guy sick? Just when it seemed they could temporarily gloss over this issue, he spoke such resolute words!

Li Jianyin... is definitely not someone to be trifled with. Not to mention, Li Jianyin has a father. His father is none other than my Second Martial Uncle... The second most important figure under the sect leader of Sky Tower, apart from the elders' pavilion!

Your master, Uncle Meng, is only ranked tenth...

Upon hearing Stone Thousand Mountain's words, a sinister smile appeared on Li Jianyin's bloodied and broken face: “Stone Thousand Mountain, did you say that?”

“Of course!” Stone Thousand Mountain replied with righteous indignation, “Chu Yang is my apprentice! No matter who you are, if you want to trouble my apprentice, you must first get through me, Stone Thousand Mountain!”

Chu Yang silently exclaimed in his heart: Well said! Stone Thousand Mountain, you really are talented! Outwardly, he expressed his gratitude, saying, “Senior Brother, I’ve troubled you...” This is called removing the tail of trouble, leaving no future issues. Hmm.

Stone Thousand Mountain waved his hand with flair and declared, “Junior Brother Chu, what are you saying! Between us brothers, how can we discuss trouble?” He even pretended to look displeased, as if Chu Yang not letting him manage this trouble was a sign of disrespect...

Tan Tan, on the other hand, was completely unaware that Chu Yang was playing tricks. He was moved to the point of nearly crying, sniffling with a heavy nasal tone, “Senior Brother... sob... you’re really great...”

“Tan Tan, you’re the same. You’re also my junior brother! If you have trouble, I will naturally step up and protect you!” Stone Thousand Mountain said sincerely, “As the senior brother, I should shield you from the wind and rain. Otherwise, are all these years of brotherly bond merely fake?”

Chivalrous! Loyal! Responsible!

Such a man, what woman in the world wouldn’t like him?

And you, Wu Qianqian... how could you be an exception?

Stone Thousand Mountain wore a serious expression, but secretly cast a glance at Wu Qianqian, feeling quite pleased with himself.

At that moment, Chu Yang, fearing the chaos would go unresolved, shouted, “Indeed! With our senior brother here, you want to bully me? Our senior brother is the first expert of the younger generation in Sky Tower!”

“Junior Brother Chu, be quiet!” Stone Thousand Mountain frowned and hurriedly stopped him. Then, humbly, he said, “Junior Brother Chu, it’s fine to blindly admire me, but you shouldn’t say such things... You must know that trouble comes from the mouth. The first expert? Ha ha, how dare I claim such a title? This Wu Junior Sister in front of us is much stronger than I am...”

Stone Thousand Mountain’s heartfelt admonition displayed humility, but inside, he felt light as a feather, even his bones seemed to lighten a bit.

It was worth all my previous efforts for you; at a crucial moment, you really gave me face. The words ‘first expert of the younger generation’ are naturally a result of Junior Brother Chu’s blind admiration, but they just happen to prove my prestige!

Moreover, I gently complimented Junior Sister Wu, showcasing my charm while winning over the beauty’s heart...

Stone Thousand Mountain could almost imagine Wu Qianqian developing feelings for him...

Stone Thousand Mountain was so caught up in his own joy that he failed to see Wu Qianqian, with her head lowered, quickly tending to Li Jianyin's wounds, her expression growing increasingly grim: This matter has escalated completely! I have to hurry back and report to Father, so he can think of a solution.

Sigh, it’s all that Stone Thousand Mountain’s fault. What a fool! Causing such a mess without understanding anything? Now things are bad. When Li Jianyin returns, he will definitely embellish the story, turning it into a major conflict between Purple Bamboo Garden and Locked Cloud Peak...
