In the Age of Elves, I have countless copies

Jingxiayan, who was standing by, watched Wang Lu and Tiancai fighting, and was looking for an opportunity to attack while ensuring his own safety.
However, because Wang Lu and Tiancai had been in a stalemate, Jingxiayan had not found any suitable opportunity yet, and the opportunity Jingxiayan wanted was one that would allow him to succeed in one fell swoop.
Finally, when the genius looked at Wang Lu, whose physical strength was slowly starting to deplete, he felt that his endless physical strength had finally come in handy at this moment, and then he spoke with great contempt,
“Wang Lu, I think you are not going to make it. People like you can’t compare to me who are born with great talent, so I advise you not to continue struggling. It won’t be long before you lose to me due to lack of strength. It’s better to admit defeat as soon as possible. In this way, I can let you die peacefully and you won’t be in so much pain. You can even enjoy the process of dying…”
Obviously, the now arrogant genius has long forgotten that there is a man named Jingxiayan who has been eyeing him and is ready to make a move.
But at the same time, although Jingxiayan had always wanted to take action against the genius, he was afraid of the person behind the genius and had been hesitant to make a move. However, after testing the genius for so long, Jingxiayan felt that it was impossible for the person behind the genius to come out. After all, it was impossible for that person to keep an eye on the genius all the time.
In addition, the genius had begun to slowly relax his vigilance, allowing Jingxiayan, who had been observing, to successfully find an opportunity.
Moreover, when the genius was relaxed, Wang Lu did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, so it was easy for the genius who was slowly relaxing to have a big loophole.
This loophole provided Jingxiayan, who had been waiting for an opportunity, with an excellent opportunity to attack.
Jingxiayan didn’t hesitate at all and attacked directly, catching the genius off guard. Wang Lu did not give up this excellent opportunity, so Wang Lu’s attack could be said to be closely following Jingxiayan’s attack.
Although the genius who was hit twice like this had some excellent talents, his body still couldn’t bear it, so the genius who was knocked to the ground couldn’t help but coughed up blood.
Looking at such a genius, Wang Lu knew that he was halfway to success today, and Tian 25 had become like this now, it could be said that he had no attack power at all.
Wang Lu recalled the sarcastic remarks made by the genius just now, and after thinking about his own growth experience, he couldn’t help but say,
“Genius, I admit that you are indeed very talented, but hard work is also important. Talent alone is not enough. Because I don’t have talent, I work hard enough. Now I am not too bad. In fact, I have far surpassed some talented people. It is true that talent is important, but if you put more effort on top of your talent, you may not have such a result now. In the final analysis, you are still too conceited…”
Before Wang Lu could finish, the impatient Jingxiayan interrupted him and said,
“Wang Lu, why are you still wasting time talking to this kind of person? Are you confused? He wants to kill you. He wants to take your life, and it’s not just once. Let’s just kill him right now to prevent future troubles. Otherwise…”
Wang Lu listened to what Jingxiayan said and disagreed in his heart. After all, he still wanted to know more about the World Rocket Team. If the genius just died like this, then he would have no other way to learn about these things.
After having concerns in his heart, Wang Lu did not hide anything and told Shang Jingxiayan directly without hiding anything.
“Jingxiayan, don’t be impulsive. We can’t kill the genius yet. I still need him to help me understand things about Team Rocket. If I kill him, I won’t have anyone else who can understand things about Team Rocket more clearly. So the genius can’t die now. Can you be patient for a while and wait until I have learned everything? I will do whatever you want to kill him, okay?”
After listening to Wang Lu’s words, Jingxiayan also knew that he had no way to deal with the genius. After all, Wang Lu was determined to keep the genius. From the perspective of strength alone, Jingxiayan had no way to deal with the people Wang Lu wanted to keep.
But thinking about the backstage person who has not appeared today, Jingxiayan felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he said,
“Wang Lu, we better be more careful. This genius is always with the backstage on weekdays. Now that the other person hasn’t shown up, I’m still a little worried. We must be more careful.”
……
Jingxia Yan panicked and asked his men to go look for her quickly. At this time, Backstage came in from outside with Jingxia Hui in his hand. Backstage asked Jingxia Yan to release Tiancai, and he would release Jingxia Hui. Jingxia Yan was naturally willing. Wang Lu also had a good impression of Jingxia Hui and wanted to exchange her, but Songmulin was unwilling. Songmulin grabbed Tiancai and distanced himself from Wang Lu and the others. Wang Lu tried to persuade Songmulin, but Songmulin didn’t listen. Seeing this, Backstage punched Jingxia Hui. Jingxia Yan felt distressed and attacked Songmulin, but Wang Lu didn’t take action. The two fought and moved the battlefield to the side of Backstage. Then they both attacked at the same time to repel Backstage and rescued Jingxia Hui.
Wang Lu had just signaled to Jingxiayan that he would be careful. Before the two could say anything, the servant suddenly ran over in a panic and said to Jingxiayan,
“Master, Master, it’s bad. The young lady is missing and we can’t find her anywhere…”
After hearing the news that Jingxia Hui was missing, Wang Lu and Jingxia Yan’s hearts tightened, and then they heard Jingxia Yan say in a hurried voice,
“Go find her quickly. Send more people to investigate. We need so many of you just to look after Hui’er. You are a bunch of rubbish…”
Just when Jingxia Yan was still angry about the news that Jingxia Hui was missing, the servant was still standing there motionless, which almost made Jingxia Yan angry to death.
Fortunately, Wang Lu was still by Jingxiayan’s side and was able to calm Jingxiayan down and make him less angry. At the same time, he kept winking at the servant, asking him to leave.
Just when Jingxia Yandu was about to go find Jingxia Hui himself, Jingxia Hui and the backstage person behind Jingxia Hui came out from behind the rockery.
At this time, Jingxiayan finally understood why he had been feeling anxious.
It turned out that today’s genius and backstage were actually divided into two groups. This caught everyone off guard, especially Jingxia Yan.
Seeing Jingxia Hui being captured, not only Jingxia Yan felt very uncomfortable, but also Wang Lu, who had developed some feelings for Jingxia Hui after spending so much time with her.
Seeing the girl he loved being caught like this, Wang Lu couldn’t help but calm down and spoke first.
“Backstage, if you are a man, come here openly and honestly. Don’t play these insidious tricks. If you have any problems, come to me and release Jingxia Hui.”
Originally, the backstage had planned that it would take a very long period of tug-of-war before they could put forward their demands openly, but they did not expect that Wang Lu would be so impulsive for the sake of Jingxiayan’s daughter.
Only then did the backstage people appreciate Jingxia Hui. She was indeed a pretty girl, so it was no wonder that Wang Luchen lost his temper.
The backstage who thought he was in a dominant position then spoke leisurely to Song Mulin, Wang Lu and Jingxiayan,
“Actually, my request is not high at all. You just need to release the person I want, and then the person you miss will naturally come back to you.”
It is relatively easy to understand what smart people say. After hearing what the backstage said, the three people immediately understood that what the backstage wanted was the genius who had been beaten and tied up with ropes by Wang Lu.
After hearing that there was a way to save his daughter Jingxia Hui, Jingxia Yan did not hesitate at all. He pulled Tiancai up and prepared to hand her over to the backstage.
Wang Lu looked at Jingxia Yan’s behavior and did not stop him. Although it was important for Wang Lu to understand the content about the World Rocket Team,
But the moment Jingxia Yan reached out to pull the genius, Wang Lu suddenly made a decision in his heart. Saving Jingxia Hui was more important than understanding the Rockets.
Song Mulin, who was standing by, looked at Wang Lu and Jingxia Yan, who were willing to exchange their genius for Jingxia Hui, and suddenly became confused, so he directly blocked Jingxia Yan’s way, and then said,
“Wang Lu, Jingxia Yan is eager to save his daughter, but what on earth are you thinking about? You have wanted to get to know Team Rocket in depth for a long time, but now you are showing weakness at this critical moment. What on earth are you thinking about?”
Being asked this question, Wang Lu felt that he had failed Song Mulin’s earnest hopes. However, after making this decision, Wang Lu did not regret it at all, so Wang Lu said to Song Mulin,
“Song Mulin, I know you care about me, you care about my dreams, my future, but what I want to tell you is that right now, I feel that without me, nothing can be more important than getting back Jingxia Hui, so I hope you can forgive me, am I wrong…”
Jingxiayan, who was standing by, was so moved by what Wang Lu said that he said to Wang Lu,
“Wang Lu, I will always remember your kindness. I will never let all your efforts today go to waste.”
Song Mulin listened to these words and smiled with relative disdain, then snatched the two people from Jingxiayan’s hands that were about to be handed over to the genius in the backstage.
Looking at the genius that he had snatched away, Song Mulin said nothing. He just took a few steps back, putting a considerable distance between himself and Wang Lu and Jingxiayan.
Then he said to the two men, “I don’t agree to exchange a genius for Jingxia Hui. As long as I am here, what you want will never succeed.”
The people behind the scenes naturally heard what Song Mulin said. Without even hesitating, they punched Jingxia Hui hard on the nose.
This punch made Jingxiayan, who loved his daughter dearly, very upset. He turned to Songmulin and said,
“Song Mulin, give me the genius as soon as possible, otherwise if anything happens to my daughter, I will hold you responsible.”
Although Jingxiayan and Wang Lu were very worried about Jingxia Hui, Songmulin was like an outsider.
Because Song Mulin had done him a favor, Wang Lu did not attack Song Mulin. Instead, Jingxiayan, who had always been an old rival of Song Mulin, had no scruples and attacked Song Mulin directly.
Looking at the two people engaged in a fight, Wang Lu chose not to help anyone this time. He was naturally enjoying the scene from the backstage, thinking that it would not be long before he would get the result he wanted.
However, no one in the background noticed that Songmulin and Jingxiayan were getting closer and closer to them during the fight.
When Song Mulin and Jingxia Yan moved the battlefield behind the backstage, they did not hesitate at all and successfully rescued Jingxia Hui who was held hostage by the backstage.
……
Backstage was shocked and angry, but he had lost his bargaining chip, so he had to escape. Wang Lu naturally would not let him leave and stopped him. Backstage used a martial art with serious side effects and finally escaped. Jingxiayan was worried that backstage would go back and inform the police, so he sent his men to hunt him down. After the matter was resolved, Jingxiayan wanted to commit suicide to apologize to Wang Lu (which he had promised before). Wang Lu watched coldly. Jingxiahui asked Wang Lu not to let his father do this, but Wang Lu did not listen. Jingxiayan asked Wang Lu to take care of Jingxiahui, then said his last words to Jingxiahui and committed suicide. Jingxiahui collapsed and fainted, and Wang Lu took her and Tiancai away.
The backstage who was originally confident of victory suddenly lost a powerful bargaining chip. He was a little angry at first and said,
“You shameless people actually resorted to such despicable means…”
Before the backstage person finished speaking, Wang Lu sneered and laughed, then he spoke slowly,
“You are the most shameless person, right? It was you who kidnapped Jingxia Hui first, and now you are discussing with us who is more shameless. Isn’t the answer to this question obvious?”
The backstage staff, who was directly hit in the vitals, instantly became a little angry and embarrassed. Wang Lu naturally noticed his change. Before the backstage staff could speak, Wang Lu kindly reminded them,
“Backstage, you are the one who needs to recognize the situation now. The genius is in our hands, and you no longer have any strong bargaining chips. The issue you should be most concerned about now is your safety, not discussing with me who is more shameless.”
The backstage people who were originally thinking about how to refute Wang Lu only realized how dangerous their current situation was after hearing what Wang Lu said.
The people behind the scenes reacted and prepared to run, but how could Song Mulin, Jingxiayan and Wang Lu, who were already prepared, let him leave so easily?
Just when Wang Lu and his companions thought they had the victory in their grasp, they launched an attack on the backstage, and saw that the backstage was on the verge of death.
At this critical moment, the backstage knew that if they fell into Wang Lu’s hands, the least they would do was to suffer a fate worse than death or even die.
So, in order to survive, the man behind the scenes did not hesitate at all when his life was hanging by a thread, and directly used a technique that could instantly move half a kilometer away.
After seeing such desperate efforts, Wang Lu couldn’t help but smack his lips. After all, this kind of martial arts method was too dangerous to life.
Jingxiayan looked at the escaped backstage and was very worried. He spoke to Wang Lu and said,
“Wang Lu, can you tell which direction the backstage person left from? I have to send someone to find him. Otherwise, after the backstage person goes back and reports the news, our situation will become very difficult.”
After hearing what Jingxiayan said, Wang Lu and Songmulin had no objection and both agreed to let Jingxiayan send someone to capture the escaped backstage mastermind.
I have to say that Jingxiayan’s action ability is also very good. After determining the location, he mobilized almost everyone in the gym to look for the escaped backstage man. Before everyone set off, Jingxiayan did not forget to remind everyone that they must show their true colors if they are alive or dead if they are dead.
After these things were basically resolved, Jingxiayan naturally did not dare to forget the promise he made to Wang Lu, so he spoke up.
“Wang Lu, if I do what we agreed on, can you also promise me one thing, okay?”
Song Mulin, who was standing by, felt a little unbelievable when he heard this. How come he hadn’t noticed at some point that Wang Lu and Jingxia Yan had made an agreement? Jingxia Hui was also curious, so the two of them asked curiously,
“What’s going on? What’s the agreement between you two? What’s the content of the agreement?”
Listening to the two people’s questions, Wang Lu signaled Jingxiayan to answer. Jingxiayan, who received the signal, explained,
“This is the agreement between Wang Lu and I. At that time, Tiancai wanted to marry my daughter, and I couldn’t do anything on my own. The only one who could help me was Wang Lu, but Wang Lu and I were enemies, and I had thought about killing Wang Lu before. So I told Wang Lu that if he could catch Tiancai, I would end my life when the matter was over.”
Song Mulin listened to Wang Lu’s words without showing much curiosity, because he had always believed that Wang Lu was the kind of person who would never let others take advantage of him.
But Jingxia Hui didn’t know this. After hearing these words, Jingxia Hui became very shocked, because she knew that her father loved her but she didn’t expect that her father loved her so much.
Before Jingxia Hui could say anything, Jingxia Yan spoke to Wang Lu,
“Wang Lu, I only know the wish. Can you take good care of my daughter for me?”
Hearing a dying man say this, Wang Lu did not refuse. He nodded and agreed to Jingxiayan’s request.
Jingxia Hui looked at this scene and was very scared. She said aloud,
“Wang Lu, I beg you, please don’t let my father die. I will work like a slave to repay you, okay? I will agree to whatever you say, please don’t let my father commit suicide, okay?”
Wang Lu, who was not a warm-hearted person to begin with, naturally ignored Jingxia Hui’s words. After all, he had been busy all this time, so how could he let this go to waste?
Wang Lu, who had made up his mind, just watched coldly from the side. Song Mulin felt a little bit sorry for Jingxia Hui’s appearance, but when he thought of what Jingxia Yan had done, the little bit of softness in Song Mulin’s heart disappeared completely.
Jingxia Yan knew that if he could not come up as agreed today, given the personalities of Wang Lu and Song Mulin, not only would he be reported to the back, but the two would also kill him without mercy. In that case, Jingxia Hui would really become a helpless person.
So Jingxia Yan spoke to comfort Jingxia Hui and said,
“My daughter, you are growing up now. You should have your own ideas about many things. If you have any difficulties in the future, please look for Wang Lu. He will definitely help you. Promise me that you must live well.”
After saying this, Jingxia Hui kept shaking her head, fearing that Jingxia Yan would leave her.
But this time, Jingxiayan did not hesitate and directly ended his life with a knife.
Seeing this scene, Jingxia Hui was so shocked that she fainted.
Wang Lu looked at this scene and could only helplessly take Jingxia Hui and Tiancai away.
……
Wang Lu interrogated the genius about Team Rocket, but the genius mocked Wang Lu and escaped backstage, saying that someone would come soon to avenge him. Seeing that the genius said nothing, Wang Lu simply killed him. Song Mulin came to Wang Lu to discuss what to do in the future. They had provoked Team Rocket. Wang Lu believed that Team Rocket was an evil organization and they should offend them. Song Mulin came up with a solution and asked Wang Lu to find Gu Yue (the number one alchemist and Wang Lu’s nominal teacher). Wang Lu thought this was a good idea and began to search for Gu Yue. He learned that Gu Yue was a judge of the Alchemist Competition in Duize District and Wang Lu planned to go find Gu Yue.
After finding a suitable place, Wang Lu rested here. Looking at Jingxia Hui who had not woken up, Wang Lu felt that he had to do something meaningful at this time, so he turned his attention to the genius.
It must be said that the genius still had a certain amount of arrogance. Even though he had been caught, he did not even say a word of begging for mercy to Wang Lu.
This made Wang Lu somewhat interested. Recalling what he had said before, he wanted to understand the problems of Team Rocket. Wang Lu asked,
“Genius, you know you must know something about Team Rocket. I want to know what that is. Tell me about it. Maybe I will be happy and let you go. You can leave now, right?”
The genius listened to Wang Lu’s threats and inducements, but did not take the bait at all. Instead, he looked at Wang Lu with disdain, as if he was sure that Wang Lu would not dare to kill him easily.
Wang Lu looked at this genius and felt a little angry, so he said,
“Genius, I advise you to be wise and act accordingly. If you tell me what you have said, I will definitely let you live. Otherwise, if I get angry accidentally, you will probably be dead soon.”
Tiancai listened to Wang Lu’s threatening tone and chose not to say anything, because Wang Lu wanted to know something from him now, and he would definitely not kill him. If he knew the information he wanted and killed him, wouldn’t it be a loss?
In order to buy himself enough time and to strengthen his inner belief, the genius said to Wang Lu with disdain,
“Wang Lu, I advise you not to be so arrogant. The backstage has already run back. It won’t be long before he brings people here and razes this place to the ground, including you.”
Listening to Tiancai’s arrogant and confident courage, Wang Lu wondered if he had given them too much confidence, which gave Tiancai a terrible illusion that he would never be able to do anything to Tiancai in order to obtain information.
It has to be said that Wang Lu’s feeling is very accurate. What the genius is thinking now is: Since you want to get information from me anyway, you can’t do anything to me at all. In this way, I can do whatever I want.
It has to be said that the genius is still too young, and he doesn’t understand Wang Lu at all, so he keeps testing Wang Lu’s bottom line.
Wang Lu looked at this scene and knew that he could not learn anything from this, so he gave the genius one last chance and said,
“Genius, I’ll give you one last chance, will you tell me or not?”
The threatened genius had no idea of the impending danger, so he spoke again,
“I won’t tell you, no matter how many chances I get, I won’t…”
