Chapter XVIII: Crisis

Canglan City, Xiao Family.

Since that time in Tianshui City, counting Lingyun's departure time, it has only been half a month.

Today is only the second day of returning to the Xiao family, because of the top-grade treasures of the ground level, Han Ruobing's cultivation is a straight three-grade sword technique.

On this day, Ling Yun was basking in the sun in the Xiao family's garden for the second time, very leisurely, he enjoyed it very much, and at the same time, his plan did not fall behind at all.

As usual, Xiao Cheng passed through the garden early, because the house where he lived was separated from the Xiao family hall by a garden.

So every time Ling Yun met Xiao Cheng by such a "coincidence", Xiao Cheng's expression this time was extremely similar to the last time.

It looks ten years older all of a sudden, and his serious face is tired, although he rested for a night, but that kind of exhaustion accompanied Xiao Cheng to sleep.

Maybe Xiao Cheng was too tired, or maybe Xiao Cheng was in too much of a hurry and didn't notice Ling Yun not far away for a while.

Ling Yun could naturally see Xiao Cheng's expression, his brows furrowed slightly, and his steps slowly walked towards Xiao Cheng's inevitable path.

"General Xiao, what's the matter?"

Ling Yun walked in front of Xiao Cheng, and the tired Xiao Cheng suddenly turned straight, only to realize that it was Ling Yun.

"The last general doesn't know that the son is here again, and he will miss the distance. ”

Xiao Cheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, a look of worry flashed in his eyes, in fact, he didn't notice that Ling Yun was normal.

After all, Ling Yun's cultivation was swordsmanship, and he had no aura to speak of, and Xiao Cheng was distracted for a while, so he didn't notice it at all.

"Don't be polite, Marshal Xiao should talk about your troubles first. ”

Ling Yun waved his hand, although he had a leisurely life, he never forgot the purpose of his coming, he was not here to enjoy, but to repay his kindness.

Not counting which wish to teach Xiao Tian before, then Xiao Cheng still has three wishes, thinking of this, Ling Yun has been here for half a month.

Obviously said that he was repaying his kindness, but in the end, he had been relying on someone else's house, although he believed that he would not repay the favor, and Xiao Cheng was also willing, but Lingyun also had a cheek, and he felt that he was a little lazy.

"Eh, it's nothing, I can solve it myself, Childe, you better enjoy it for a while. ”

Xiao Cheng still shook his head, and sighed helplessly, he thought to himself, now that Ling Yun has no power or power, even if he is powerful, he is at most a low-level Xuanhuang, right?

What can be done?

For him, Emperor Xuan is in charge of his Xiao family, which can be regarded as a top force, and if he breaks out in the future, he will not be afraid of threats from other families.

"No, Marshal Xiao can rest assured, I, Lingyun, will not forget that I am here to repay my kindness. ”

"Not to mention the desire to teach Xiao Tian, Marshal Xiao, you still have three wishes. ”

Ling Yun smiled, he said very seriously, his clear eyes looked at Xiao Cheng, very sincere.

For a moment, Ling Yun's sincere gaze gave him an illusion, an "illusion" of believing Ling Yun.

At the same time, he also secretly said in his heart, maybe the prince is too face-saving, if he really refuses, I'm afraid there will be a gap between me and the prince.

Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly, and then said: "Actually, things are quite simple, Tianshui Sect has recently traded a batch of goods with the three major forces of Canglan City, and the profits are very large, which directly affects the development of the three major forces. ”

"However, Xu Ning, the great elder of the Tianshui Sect, asked each family to pay 10,000 gold coins, but I didn't. ”

This batch of goods is actually a large batch of pills, weapons, etc., only the family has obtained it, and the comprehensive strength will definitely increase greatly.

It is only the Xiao family that has not received resources, that is to say, the Xiao family is still at the same speed, so it will definitely become a second-rate force in Canglan City.

It is conceivable that the City Lord's Mansion and the Luoyu Family, who already wanted to eradicate the Xiao family, will definitely fall into the well and cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

In that case, the Xiao family would be in danger, and his only Xuan Emperor's body would be worse day by day.

Maybe one day he will fall to King Xuan.

"Oh?"

Ling Yun responded when he heard this, how could he not see Xiao Cheng's concerns, a flash of essence flashed in his pupils, within half a year, Xiao Cheng's old body injuries would definitely recur, and he was not sure about the specific time.

"This Tianshui Sect's deal is no problem, I'll take it all for you. When are you going to talk to Xu Ning?"

"What?"

Xiao Cheng was stunned when he heard this, he was wondering at the moment, was it that Ling Yun had saved the sect master of the Tianshui Sect ten years ago?

Or is he kind to the Tianshui Sect or something?

It's just that as soon as this idea came out, he quickly covered it up, he was familiar with Ling Yun ten years ago, and it was impossible for him to come to this remote place in Taiwu.

However, he thought, since Ling Yun wanted to go, then take him there, anyway, a young man at the peak of the Xuan King would definitely be able to shock everyone fiercely.

In fact, it is also a little confusing to say that Ling Yun is a young man, Xiao Cheng is also a little confused, logically speaking, Ling Yun was seventeen years old ten years ago, and Ling Yun is now twenty-seven ten years later, but Ling Yun's appearance is still a teenager.

This made him feel incredible, maybe this was the only good in the void.

"Since Childe wants to go, then Childe should prepare before evening, and then we will go to the manor of the City Lord's Mansion together. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ling Yun nodded in response, and then he reminded: "Does Marshal Xiao really need treatment?"

Now that the Ren Shuizi Sword Soul in his body has been condensed into a second-grade, that is to say, he can use the Intermediate Sword Soul.

Among his many intermediate-level sword souls, there is an emperor-level powerhouse who mainly heals injuries, and it is easy to heal Xiaocheng City.

"No need. ”

Xiao Cheng shook his head firmly, he didn't believe that Ling Yun could do anything, maybe he went to the imperial city to help him invite Xuanzong.

However, that would be too risky, if he was not careful, maybe Ling Xuan would find him, if it was because of him, Ling Yun would be harmed, he would definitely not be happy in his heart.

Therefore, he didn't want Ling Yun to take risks.

"Okay. ”

Ling Yun nodded, he didn't think about it that much, anyway, when Xiao Cheng's old injury recurred, he would be able to help him treat it.

......

In the evening, the sun sets.

Han Ruobing has the assistance of treasures in the room, and he is not still in the top five grades, so he has made rapid progress, and he is basically promoted in two or three days.

Ling Yun slowly pushed open the door, and in the master bedroom was Han Ruobing, who looked at Han Ruobing's appearance of pondering the sword technique, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"The increase in the treasure of the bare earth grade is so terrifying, what if it is the heavenly product?"

"It seems that if you want to speed up the plan, you have to find all the attribute treasures. ”

He said slowly, and at the same time sighed that the anti-heaven increase of the treasure, the earth-grade superlative can be said to directly increase by three times, if it is the superb, he really doesn't know how many times it can be increased, maybe at least ten times or more.

He beckoned forward, intending to ask Han Ruobing to go out together.

Lest you be bored at home every day, that's not good, just like your former self, you don't know anything except for your cultivation.

Tonight, it was the Great Elder of the Tianshui Sect in Water City who came to discuss the deal, and the location was a city manor in the City Lord's Mansion, and the leaders of the three major forces would go at that time.

The owner of the manor is none other than the lord of the city, and it is also his back garden.

The position of the city lord is appointed by Great Xia, and it can be said that he is a slave of the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to shake his position, because if he kills the city lord, isn't it equivalent to killing the lackey of the Son of Heaven?

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, if you kill the lackey of the dignified son of heaven, you will definitely lose face, and people can talk to you well?

Isn't that a slap in the face, a person who has been appointed by himself, can still be killed in his own homeland, ridiculous.

And even though the Yi family is the city lord, the high-level sects are different, they are the ten sects designated by Great Xia, and they are generally the top ten forces in Great Xia.

Even if it is a provincial city, there may not be a strong sect, so when the great elder of a high-level sect comes out of the mountain, the city lord naturally has to greet him in person.

"Childe, I've been waiting for a long time. ”

Seeing that Ling Yun was already about to leave, Han Ruobing was a little hurried and kept up with the pace.

Ling Yun smiled and didn't say anything.

At the same time, Xiao Cheng was also ready, and he was accompanied by four martial kings, as well as Xiao Tian's mother and son, and a maid, and the maid's words, the main thing was to follow and do some things that Xiao Cheng did not do.

Xiao Cheng and his party added up to eight people.

The four martial kings are all the tibia of the Xiao family, and they are also the generals of the Great Xia Legion, all because of Xiao Cheng, so they all followed him to Taiwu, and they have all died as a martial king over the years, otherwise, how could Xiao Cheng create a Xiao family with a Xuan Emperor?

After all, in a land of right and wrong, no one wants to see forces comparable to them, that is, in this difficult predicament, the Xiao family is like a small grass, experiencing more or less tempering.

Just as they were about to set off, Ling Yun and the others also walked over slowly.

Seeing this, Liu Wushuang and Xiao Tian's mother and son looked slightly condensed, Xiao Tian's expression was a little distorted, and there was fear in his eyes, he wanted to kill Ling Yun, but at the same time he was afraid of Ling Yun's strength.

And Liu Wushuang was different, Ling Yun caused her to lose so much face, and she wanted to cut Ling Yun with a thousand knives.

"Childe, just right, gone. ”

Xiao Cheng's face was serious, he looked at Ling Yun and saluted slightly, his heart was more or less solemn, after all, this matter was related to the survival of the Xiao family.

Ling Yun didn't speak, smiled and nodded in response, and then took advantage of the situation to take more steps.

Among the four martial kings, they were all a little confused when they saw Xiao Cheng so polite, they couldn't be clear, Xiao Cheng was a good man with iron bones, how could he grovel to the dignitaries and nobles?

This couldn't help but make them frown, a bearded man, very puzzled, he was straightforward, so he said: "Childe is Xiaotian's teacher?"

"It was when I first came, but not anymore. Ling Yun smiled slightly, shook his head, and said.

The former did not have the slightest contempt, and was polite, so Ling Yun naturally would not put on a high stand.

The other three Martial Kings all frowned.

Looking at Ling Yun with some solemnity, because they believed that Xiao Cheng was not an irresponsible person, and it must be Ling Yun who taught Xiao Cheng to cultivate.

As for why it's not now, they guess in their hearts, after all, who doesn't know Xiaotian's character?

The well-known stubborn disciples, if it weren't for Xiao Cheng, they would all want to cut Xiao Tian, so they don't use polite words to treat Xiao Tian.
