11. Secretly (I)
Under the strength gap between the bosses of the two sides, there was a subtle difference in strength between the two factions that were originally evenly matched.
What's more, if the shadow of the famous tree of people, Guan Rongtu's name of "Zhan Gongzi" is really as loud as Zhou Miao said, and even the entire Dao Dharma world knows it, then this is undoubtedly another advantage of the family faction.
Think about it, if the two major factions fight each other, and Guan Rongtu does it himself, how many people from the division faction dare to deal with him?
In that case, a subtle gap is likely to determine the outcome.
Therefore, Liu Rafter Song personally came to see Zhang Longqian in the middle of the night.
-- Or, to meet Ji Haiyun.
If the mana can reach the level of the Celestial Character, it can be seen from the data that it has reached the level of a mage, and the number of such students in the entire academy is no more than half a hundred, and most of them are in the family faction, at this moment, a Ji Haiyun who has actually obtained the qualification of a mage appears, if he can be pulled into the division faction, the benefits are naturally self-evident.
Ji Haiyun, who had nothing to do with the academy before, was not a student now, but he showed an attitude of being Zhang Longqian's follower, if Zhang Longqian joined a certain faction, then Ji Haiyun, who had the strength of a mage, would naturally be used by that faction.
Zhang Longqian had already expected this, but after learning more from Zhou Miao, she realized that Liu Raftersong's target was probably not just Ji Haiyun alone.
Most likely, there is one more person.
Zuo Ling.
Although the academy was basically divided between the two major factions, the group of people who were close to Zhang Longqian did not join any faction. Zhou Miao and Bai Lu didn't think about it so much because they had just entered the school, Cang Yan and Nangong Piao were because of the name of "Absolute Son" and few people dared to contact them, and Zuo Ling, as a member of the Liezhi Zuo family, one of the five great families, had the strength of a mage, and there was no doubt about the mana of the Zeu level, so he was naturally a person that the family faction wanted to win over very much, and it was said that he had stayed in the academy for so many years, and he should have joined the family faction a long time ago.
But no.
Since Zuo Ling entered the academy four years ago, the family faction has been constantly sending people to lobby him, but every time he will be cleverly perfunctory by Zuo Ling, so that under the frequent nailing, the family faction that is already rampant in the academy has some anger, but he doesn't dare to do anything to Zuo Ling, who has the identity of the five major families, and then their boss Guan Rongtu personally went to find Zuo Ling once, and I don't know what Zuo Ling said, since then Guan Rongtu has ordered the family faction to never harass Zuo Ling again, This time, since he came back from Zhongkun, there has been no one from any family faction to come to the door.
This obvious neutral attitude would definitely make the Shichuan faction rise up with the idea of wooing him, but even if Liu Rafter Song personally came out, he was still politely refused, and Zuo Ling still did not intend to join any faction.
In this regard, the two major factions have made the decision to give up, but a few days ago, Zuo Ling accompanied a few new students around the academy in a high-profile manner, as if announcing to everyone that he had a close relationship with these new students, and it was clear that he wanted to protect Zhang Longqian and the three of them.
This is undoubtedly bad news for the clan faction that has just clashed with Zhang Longqian, but it is good news for the Shichuan faction.
The family faction and Zhang Longqian have formed a relationship, but the Shichuan faction does not!
As for Cang Yan, who has the same strength as Zuo Ling, although there are still people looking forward to him joining in addition to fear, after all, Cang Yan has not had any intersection with Zhang Longqian since he entered the academy, and the master faction who doesn't know the relationship between them at all naturally didn't pay attention to Cang Yan.
But even if only Zuo Ling and Ji Haiyun joined, it would be enough to disrupt the delicate balance now.
All this can be done by wooing a very talented "casual cultivator" student.
It's really a good calculation.
Thinking of Zhang Longqian, she couldn't help but sneer secretly, she didn't have the slightest good impression of a scheming person like Liu Raftersong, and naturally it was impossible for her to decide to join the Shichuan faction.
Even if he refused, Liu Rafter Song didn't dare to do anything with her, after all, if he did it, it would be equivalent to saying that Liu Rafter Song, who was different from the family faction, slapped himself in the face, and it was equivalent to provoking Zuo Ling and Ji Haiyun at the same time. This kind of thing that harms others and oneself, as long as it is not mentally retarded, as the boss of an organization, will not do it.
Since it won't affect his side, let the two of them develop freely, if a full-scale battle may break out in the near future, it would be best if he could clean up the scum of Tian Xingzhen by the way, and it would save Zhang Longqian's strength. Even if it can't be cleaned up, once the conflict between the two major factions breaks out, it will definitely be able to cause some damage to that guy, and it will be much easier for Zhang Longqian to think about how to clean him up.
After coming to such a conclusion, Zhang Longqian completely put this matter behind him.
In a blink of an eye, a week passed like this, and Zhang Longqian, who was not affected by the two major factions, lived a fairly peaceful life, so peaceful that she almost forgot why she came to this academy.
During this period, something happened that amazed both Zhang Longqian and Bai Lu.
Before entering the college, there was a branch that had sent an invitation to Zhou Miao, promising that as long as she went in to study, she would provide her with her own laboratory, and all the equipment and materials were paid for in full by that branch, so Zhou Miao, who still remembered this promise, went through all the courses of the junior class a few days ago, and finally went to the branch that invited her to take a look, and then I didn't know what the branch did, and the junior class actually promised to hold a quarterly upgrade exam for Zhou Miao at the end of July. As long as Zhou Miao passes, he can obtain the qualification of secondary students in advance and enter the branch college. Before the promotion, Zhou Miao had the privilege of not going to the beginner class, and could go to that branch to conduct experiments at any time.
After getting such a result, Zhou Miao went to the laboratory of the branch without any delay, not to mention Zhang Longqian these days, even Bai Lu in the same bedroom with Zhou Miao rarely saw her face, and it was not until the weekend that they finally met, so the two immediately decided to find a place to have a good meal to celebrate Zhou Miao, so Zhang Longqian took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to invite Zuo Ling and Mo Ruyu to participate together.
Although Mo Ruyu's relationship with them has been much better during this time, and she will laugh unabashedly in front of them, but as soon as Zhang Longqian said that Ji Haiyun and Zuo Ling were there, she decisively replied and refused, but she still solemnly asked Zhang Longqian to congratulate Zhou Miao on her behalf.
Sighing with a little disappointment, Zhang Longqian edited the text message and sent it to Zuo Ling, but suddenly remembered something, so he asked while typing: "Call Cangyan and Nangong too?" It's been a long time since I've seen them, and I haven't been in touch, so are they still busy? ”
Bai Lu, who was walking next to him, couldn't help but stiffen slightly: "Huh...... Yes......"
Zhang Longqian, who didn't pay attention to Bai Lu's expression, just looked at his phone and sighed in disappointment: "Yes, then don't bother them." Alas, it's a little boring without Nangong's startle, and I miss Cang Yan's iceberg face that hasn't changed for thousands of years......"
Zhang Longqian, who was staring at the information written on his mobile phone, didn't notice it, and when he heard this, Bai Lu's face suddenly became a little ugly.
It's like I'm worried about something.
Glancing at Bai Lu, who pursed his lips, Ji Haiyun acted as if he hadn't seen anything, and didn't say anything.
Zuo Ling's reply was still as fast as when he was in Zhongkun, not only did he confirm that he would definitely come, but also after receiving the text message, he had already booked a seat in Wangjiangnan.
"Wow...... Looking south of the river...... Why did you go to the most expensive restaurant again......" sighed but found that Zhou Miao cast a cold gaze, Zhang Longqian hurriedly explained, "No...... That one...... I'm not saying I don't want to celebrate you at the best restaurants! It's just that I always let Mr. Zuo Ling spend so much, and I always feel very sorry not to go......"
"It's not spending my money."
The undulating voice made Zhang Longqian and Bai Lu look at each other and smile bitterly, with a look of "That's true."
