On the side of the Zixiao Sword Sect, a letter was replied.

Lingyu frowned when she saw the contents of the letter.

Duan Feiyu naturally chatted with her in the letter, and in the middle of it, he naturally mentioned that Xu Gongzi - this Xu Gongzi is naturally Xu Wei - left the sect a few years ago, but he didn't say where he went, and probably he didn't know very well.

Lingyu looked at it quietly for a while, flicked her fingers, and burned the letter to ashes.

She felt a little tired as she watched the tongue of fire lick the white paper and swallow it completely, and she raised her head against the wall, her eyes falling into the void.

This kind of slimy relationship is really annoying, it can't be solved neatly, it has to be entangled like this, even if you haven't seen each other for decades, the other party still can't get around.

If it's just a concentric contract that restricts them from having evil thoughts about each other, that's it, but there is still a secret hidden in it, a secret that has changed in the life of a guide zhì Xu Rebellion, and once it is spoken, it will attract revenge from the monks of the Yuan Dynasty.

No, they can endure this relationship for a while, but can they endure it forever? In the past, the cultivation was still shallow, but the higher the cultivation, the more bound it became. The concentric contract was originally a temporary solution, because they couldn't kill each other, and they couldn't trust each other wholeheartedly, so they used the soul contract to tie the two sides to the same boat.

Find a way to fix it. Knowing what Xu Wei was carrying, she had no way to wait until he succeeded or the concentric contract expired.

Lingyu lowered her head and took out a white jade flute from her sleeve, her fingers were on the lily of the valley on it, her eyes were confused for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

She didn't know what Xu Yi was thinking. But. Keep playing stupid. It's not something Cheng Lingyu would do.

……

A few days later, Canghua Zhenren summoned her over and returned the repaired talisman to her.

Lingyu left Qian Jiale's share and said goodbye to acquaintances one by one.

Leaving Taibai Sect this time, her mood was calm and peaceful. From Taibai Sect to Lingyun City, then to Ning'an City, and then through the teleportation array of Guò Ning'an City to Lingshu Island, a transportation hub in the Xingluo Sea. The salty sea breeze blows on her face, and she seems to have returned to more than 100 years ago.

She was at that time. I just came up from the Nether, like a dirt bun, and everything is very novel.

A hundred years have passed, and when she returns to Xingluohai again, she is already a monk of the Yudan.

Arriving at Lingshu Island, Lingyu did not use the teleportation array anymore, but restrained the coercion on his body, found a flying boat at random, and went to the three major islands like an ordinary monk.

At that time, she didn't know much about the affairs of the Cangming world. Ignorant, I came to Xingluohai again. Only then did he realize that Ling Cang had sent various disciples to Xingluohai to recruit disciples, and I am afraid that there was a deep meaning behind it. Otherwise, in a place as big as Lingcang, there was no need to go to Xingluo Sea to recruit disciples at all, and the cost of using the teleportation array alone was scary enough.

As for the reason, she guessed, it was probably intended to show authority.

Lingcang Sect, Damengze Family, Xingluo Sea Area Scattered Cultivation, so divided, is the consensus of Ximing. But that doesn't mean they don't interact with each other. There are some things, such as special products or something, there is no way to replace them, Xingluohai is extremely vast, rich in resources, and prosperous in commerce, how can the Lingcang Sect let it go? More or less, they will cooperate with local forces, or open shops, or settle industries. It's just that Lingcang is really far away from Xingluohai, and the whip is beyond reach, and sometimes, you have to show your strength.

Having said that, Xing Luohai is really blessed. It was already very prosperous, but when the demon cultivators invaded, it happened that the qi of the abyss leaked out, forming a natural isolation zone, making the entire Xingluo Sea area isolated from the battlefield, with almost no losses.

In recent years, Lingcang has more or less declined, and this contrast, personal experience, is very obvious.

I heard that in the battle of demon cultivation that year, in order to reduce the losses, the various factions of Lingcang jointly put pressure on Da Mengze and Xingluohai, asking them to provide support, and knocked out a large amount of money, and until now, the monks in the two places are still very unfriendly to Lingcang.

Lingyu is a member of the Lingcang Sect, of course, from the standpoint of the sect. Ming Yuan cracked, the demon cultivator invaded, once Ling Cang was broken, Da Mengze and Xing Luohai could not be left alone, the so-called lips and teeth were cold, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Ling Cang, who was standing on the front line, asking for resource support from the two.

Besides, who will do it if he works hard to resist the demon cultivator, and others can easily enjoy the results, but also face the crisis of huge losses and weakened strength? It's strange that the Lingcang Sect doesn't blackmail! They don't want to pay for themselves, only to be picked up by others. This is the interest, the interest of the entire Lingcang, and no one is willing to back down.

Of course, it is normal for Da Mengze and Xing Luohai to have complaints. From their point of view, it was Ling Cang who was facing the invasion of demon cultivators, so why should they bear the consequences? After the experience of war, the strength of the monks has increased, and there are many materials to gain in the battle with the demon cultivators, and they have to dedicate their hard work, how to think and how to lose.

However, although the three are strong, Lingcang is powerful in the end, and they can only swallow it.

The sequelae is that after the end of the invasion of demon cultivators, the monks of the two places once held a grudge against Ling Cang, but now a hundred years have passed, and they have slowly faded.

Lingyu sat on the side of the ship, looking at the Xingluo Islands below, feeling the pleasure of the sea breeze.

A monk came out to breathe, stood by and watched for a while, and then walked towards her: "I've seen this fellow Taoist." ”

Lingyu turned her head and nodded to the person. This is a foundation monk, in his thirties, not handsome or ugly, with shrewd eyes and a kind smile, he should be a businessman.

She didn't release her coercion, and the monk whose cultivation was lower than her couldn't see her true cultivation, and this person watched from the side for a long time, and he couldn't figure out whether she was in the middle or late stage, but she was definitely stronger than herself. At this time, seeing her cold attitude, she was not angry, and still smiled and said: "The contemptible Ai Fangxing, is a young man, I don't know your surname?" ”

said that he was a young man, but looking at his dress, he should be the shopkeeper of which firm, which is humble.

"It turned out to be Ai Daoyou, in the next Cheng Lingyu." She wasn't very interested, but she didn't return the salute coldly.

Ai Fangxing didn't care either, and still accosted her with a smile: "Looking at Cheng Daoyou's dress and bearing, it seems that he is from Lingcang?" ”

"Oh?" Lingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, "How can you tell?" ”

"It's simple, temperament." Ai Fangxing said, "Only the monks of Lingcang can have such a fierce temperament. ”、

Businessman, I have seen many people, and my eyes are also vicious. Ai Fangxing was running around, what kind of background a monk was, how much net worth he had, what his temperament was, and whether he had a chance to go under the knife, he could almost see it at a glance. It's instinct, an instinct that is formed by practicing it over a long period of time.

For example, Lingyu, she is dressed simply, but she uses the best materials, which has a defensive effect. Those who can afford this kind of clothing must be quite wealthy. Ever since she got on the boat, she's been so lazy, without any excitement, and she doesn't like to talk to people, and she seems to be very self-conscious. People like this are most likely from good backgrounds, and self-confidence will naturally radiate.

Ai Fangxing didn't dare to say that he guessed correctly, but eight or nine was not far from ten.

If you do what he does, it is natural to greet this kind of person, and maybe after chatting, it will become a business.

Lingyu tilted her head: "Could it be that Xingluo Hai doesn't have a monk with a strong temperament?" ”

"Of course not." Ai Fangxing looked at her expression and knew that he had guessed correctly, "The monks of Xingluohai, in addition to those who run around like contemptible people and are covered in copper stench, there are also those who beg for a life at sea and have gone through hardships. The latter will also be very aggressive, but there will not be such self-confidence and freedom as Cheng Daoyou, as if everything does not linger in the mind, only those who have been cultivating without worry will be like this. ”

Cultivation is worry-free...... Lingyu couldn't help but laugh. She is indeed worry-free in her cultivation, the sect treats the monks of the Dan with generosity, and she has forgotten most of the wealth of the layman. In the sect, whether it is the master or the ancestor, she treats her well, except for herself, what else is there to worry about? However, what really made her show this temperament was because of the success of Yudan, and she naturally had a condescending mentality. Strength is the source of qiē, without strength, what temperament is empty talk.

"The most important thing is that this flying ship departed from Lingshu Island. Looking at the appearance of Daoyou, it should just be borrowing the teleportation array of Lingshu Island, so most of them are monks from Lingcang and Damengze. The monks of Da Mengze are silent, and the monks of Lingcang are fierce, so at a glance, people think that Cheng Daoyou is a monk of Lingcang. ”

"Ai Dao's friendly eyes." Lingyu smiled and arched her hand at him, "It's really from Lingcang." ”

guessed her origin correctly and made her change her attitude, Ai Fangxing was very satisfied and chatted with her.

"Cheng Daoyou is so leisurely, it doesn't look like he is on a mission, could it be that he has traveled?"

"Yes, I lived in Xingluo for a few years when I was young, and I came back to see if I had nothing to do."

"Oh?" Ai Fangxing's eyes lit up, "But I don't know which island Cheng Daoyou lived on in the past?" ”

"It's Fei Lian Island." Lingyu replied casually and looked at Ai Fangxing, "But I don't know where Ai Daoyou works?" Which firm is the shopkeeper? ”

Ai Fangxing smiled humbly: "Cheng Daoyou is polite, the contemptible person is the manager of a shop in Wushuang City, and he is mainly responsible for procurement. Coincidentally, our shop is in Feilian City, maybe we have seen it in previous years! ”

Lingyu said in her heart, although you don't look young, you may not be as old as me. Just as he was about to say something, his mind suddenly paused.

Matchless City? Shops in Cheap City?

"It turns out that Ai Daoyou is the steward of Wushuang City, which is really disrespectful and disrespectful."

"Cheng Daoyou is too polite, what's ...... about this" Ai Fangxing was humble, but there was a faint smugness in his expression.

Being able to enter Wushuang City from business is something to boast about in Xingluohai.

Lingyu chatted a few more words and asked what she wanted to ask: "I used to have a friend who worked in an auction house in Wushuang City, but I don't know if Ai Daoyou has ever heard of it?" ”

"Oh?" This is a good way to close the distance, Ai Fangxing hurriedly asked, "I don't know what Cheng Daoyou's friend is, what is his surname, and which auction house he works in?" ”

Lingyu smiled slightly and said, "His name is Fan Xianshu." (To be continued......)
