Chapter 21: Infighting

The little disciple deliberately called Ruoyan inside, Ruoyan looked at Qiao Yiling, Qiao Yiling nodded and motioned for her to go.

Ruoyan walked into the kitchen, and the little disciple approached her and whispered, "You make me some tea, and then you are optimistic about Miss Qiao, don't let her go back for the time being."

If he couldn't understand what he said, the little disciple only said, "Senior Brother Ling has ordered, don't talk too much." Then he kept Ruoyan and made tea.

Qiao Yiling was outside as if nothing had happened, and she was not surprised by the behavior of the junior disciple, it was nothing more than Ling Su discussing countermeasures with a few senior brothers, and she didn't care.

The little disciple kept staring at Qiao Yiling's actions inside, and Qiao Yiling still picked up the tea by himself and dried the tea until Ruoyan made the tea, and the little disciple left with a stiff smile.

Ruoyan sat back beside Qiao Yiling, a little sluggish.

"He asked you to look at me, and I just didn't leave." Qiao Yiling saw her stiff appearance and said straightforwardly.

"Sister Qiao, I'm sorry." Ruoyan felt that Qiao Yiling was not a bad person.

"I'm sorry about this, their arrangement has nothing to do with you and me." Qiao Yiling didn't care.

The two are still doing their own thing.

On the one hand, Ling Su summoned the senior uncles and disciples who were in charge of various places to discuss in Qinghui Hall.

"Today, I invite all my uncles and brothers to come over, it was a trespassing, but since the first teacher was killed and hit hard by the golden lotus, my business has plummeted. The senior brother once said that after he became the head of the house, he would have to revive the flame knife and strictly investigate the murderer, but the wind of the charter was in front of him, but the old owner of Jiang repeatedly blocked it, and did not give us a clear explanation, and the senior brother did not ask the reason. Now, the senior brother has no intention of restoring the villa, but has a mysterious relationship with the disciples of Yanyu Villa, you say, how should I and the others deal with themselves. Ling Su looked distressed.

"Heh, I said that Yan Lan is difficult to take on a big job, and he has a lot of intestines, in addition to knowing how to do business, what else can he do." Shen Shiyi's junior brother Xu You said with a sarcastic smile.

"Why is Uncle Shi so targeted, the ability of the senior brother is obvious to all, and taking over as the head of the sect is also strongly supported by the disciples in the sect, chewing the root of the tongue behind his back, but there is still a little elder demeanor?" A white-faced young man defended Yan Landao.

"You! Is this the right way you should talk to your elders? Xu You's face darkened and said gloomily.

"Fifth junior brother! It's not that we're dissatisfied with Senior Brother, it's just that Senior Brother doesn't look like a head now! Ling Su separated the confrontation between the two, and his tone was a little slow but still stiff.

The fifth junior brother had nothing to say, after all, he didn't know what evil the senior brother had fallen into in the past two days, the business of Yushizhuang was ignored, and he stayed with Sheng Lingyun every day, and now the two of them went to Wuyi, do they want to change their careers to sell tea?

Ling Su saw that the fifth junior brother also began to waver, and the rest of the people had nothing to say, so he further said: "We can't let the senior brother mess around, the jade business is weak now, and the disciples of each sect have to take turns to guard the village, and there is no manpower to mine new mines, we must think of a way to remedy it, you see?"

"I agree, who knows whether Yan Lan will go for a year and a half or ten years and eight years, and there is no trust, we can only sit and eat empty." Xu You's sentences are prickly, all of which are dissatisfied with Yan Lan.

In fact, Xu You was not very opposed to Yan Lan taking over as the head at first, he wanted Yan Lan to be young, and he had to discuss with him in major matters, listen to his orders, the real power was still in his own hands, and he never thought that Yan Lan would remove his position as soon as he took over and give him an idle position.

Before Shen Shiyi passed away, Yan Lan was still a cheerful teenager, joking with his junior disciples, occasionally hiding lazily to practice martial arts and secretly going down the mountain to play, and stealing the master's treasured wine with his junior brothers. However, he is also very restrained in major matters, Shen Shiyi took him to the north and south, talking about business, he has a flexible mind, works seriously, can judge the situation, and often benefits the opposite family, in just two years, he has bought many hearts, and he has merged the three major jade merchants, and he is Shen Shiyi's most proud disciple.

But it's all old, Shen Shiyi's death took away Yan Lan's last youthfulness. On the day when the body of the master was sorted out, Yan Lan lit the lantern and guarded the master for a whole day, not eating, drinking, not speaking, and not shedding a single tear, so he knelt beside the master's body lifelessly, and no one could pull it, and finally when the master's body was activated, the fifth senior brother saw Yan Lan's red eyes through the firelight, and a tear slowly flowed from the corner of his eye. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Dao Yan Lan's soul returned.

Later, Yan Lan set up an immortal tablet for his master, and after everyone finished serving incense, when Yan Lan turned around, his whole person changed, his eyes were cold, he was not smiling, and a majestic aura arose spontaneously. He seems to have aged ten years old, and finally took on the burden of being in charge, doing things vigorously, saying one thing and another, and taking back all the power of the villa in his own hands, but so the villa did not fall, but he gradually became estranged from everyone.

The fifth junior brother has always felt very sorry for Yan Lan, and he used to like to take him to the back mountain to hunt birds. The fifth junior disciple is not very perceptive, and he is slow to learn anything, Yan Lan will always take him to the back mountain to review every time the master teaches a new lesson, until he can keep up with everyone's progress.

How good it should be that the master is still there, the senior brother is still the previous senior brother, and the flame knife is still a thriving flame knife. The fifth junior brother thought to himself, but unfortunately everything has changed.

Ling Su and Xu Youyou sang and said that Yan Lan was not, and everyone gradually wavered in their determination to support Yan Lan, and Ling Su saw that the time had come, so he began to make a big fuss.

"Senior brother has the intention to take power alone, and take on the big and small affairs of the villa alone, if you don't want us to be burdened, senior brother is not easy, and we can't bear it. It's just that I'm afraid that I'm afraid of being flattered by outsiders, my senior brother is not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't understand the sinister, so he will destroy my flame knife in one fell swoop! Ling Su deliberately bit the latter sentence, and everyone's hearts trembled, thinking of Yan Lan's retraction of his powers, and claiming to be good friends with outsiders Sheng Lingyun, they couldn't help but panic.

Ling Su saw that everyone's faces changed slightly, and he fidgeted, and hit the railroad while it was hot: "Sheng Lingyun claims to be the person who is the owner of Jiang Lao Zhuang, this matter is true, but he has the intention to use my flame knife."

"What did the second senior brother say?" The balance in the hearts of the third junior brother has tilted.

"Everyone thinks, although Yan Lan has made achievements, how are Shangguan Hai and the others compared to Gu Mingjue?" Ling Su's address to Yan Lan had changed from an honorific title to a direct name. "Is it a small thing, from experience, achievements, and even the reputation and status of the rivers and lakes, it is beyond the reach of the dust, but he easily became a candidate for the owner of the village with them." Ling Su progressed layer by layer to overcome everyone's psychology. "I boldly guess that someone behind this is manipulating and using him, let him taste the sweetness first, let Yan Lan let down his guard and trust them, and then blend into my door, step by step, seize power, and disintegrate!"

"Ahh Someone exclaimed, everyone began to be silent, and Ling Su succeeded.

"What should we do?" The third junior brother realized that the situation was serious and grasped the life-saving straw.

"Su'er, you have an idea." The third senior uncle took out the posture of an elder and pinned his hopes on Ling Su.

"Third Senior Uncle, how can Su'er have the ability of Senior Brother, Senior Brother previously took back Uncle Xu's authority plainly, but he was afraid that Uncle Xu would see through it and contend with him, and it is true that only Uncle Xu knows how to do business, I think it is better to let Uncle Xu think of a way!"

"Xu You, what do you say?" When Shen Shiyi was alive, jade mining has always been handed over to Xu You to take care of, although Xu You is frivolous, but he can still distinguish the severity, Shen Shiyi has no words for him, but Yan Lan waved his hand and directly dismissed him, breaking the rules, it is very suspicious.

Xu You's whole clothes and stood up slowly, "I'm a fictitious job now, what if I have a way to deal with it, can my arm be twisted over my thigh, Yan Lan is the head, I don't want to be bored, and then I will be kicked out of the villa and make people laugh." ”

"I think that the villa has also shelved a few businesses, and Uncle Xu is an old acquaintance with them, and if you come forward, they will definitely sell you favors. Let's discuss with a few bosses first, take advantage of the current situation, and then a few bosses will point out that the goods are not right, and the cooperation will be terminated, and the villa will not be able to mine new jade now, Yan Lan will definitely be anxious. At this time, Uncle Xu will come out again to negotiate business, and we will be able to raise our grievances and force Yan Lan to restore your position, and perhaps, we can also push another person in charge. Ling Su proposed countermeasures, and most of them had no objections.

"Can't we give Senior Brother a chance? He is not such a person, and if something goes wrong, he must have something unspeakable. ”

The fifth junior brother defended Yan Lan in the cracks, Ling Su didn't want him to be so stubborn, and was afraid that he would do bad things, so he had to coax and say: "I promise you, this move is not to force the senior brother to give way, but to find out the truth." If there is an inside story, Senior Brother must ask Sheng Lingyun for help, and Sheng Lingyun will definitely make good use of this opportunity to attack my flame knife. If the senior brother has no dissenting intentions, then it is good to restore the position of senior uncle, and we can also relieve the senior brother of a little burden. ”

The fifth senior brother was convinced, and sat down with a complicated expression, he believed in the senior brother's character, and he was afraid that the senior brother would be taken advantage of.

"Qiao Yiling and Sheng Lingyun are in the same group, we have to be careful not to leak the news." Ling Su finally advised, the meeting dispersed, and Ling Su personally went to see if Ruoyan had seen Qiao Yiling.

Qiao Yiling promised not to leave, so he kept his promise, and saw that Ling Su only nodded lightly and did not make any other moves.

"Miss Qiao is still upset about what happened in the morning?" Ling Su deliberately probed.

"No, it's just a sense of distance from people you don't know." Qiao Yiling originally wanted to say directly, "It's just that you treat me like a thief, which makes me unhappy." He was afraid that Ling Suqian would be angry, so he just spoke to him.

"In this way, I know my senior brother very well!" Ling Su was meaningful, looking forward to saying something, Qiao Yiling only felt that this person was jumping off the beam clown and performing poorly.

"I don't know how Master Yan would feel when he knew that his guests were here, and you were suspicious of him." Qiao Yiling didn't bother to pay attention to him, and he didn't answer him directly.

"Miss Qiao doesn't need to scare me, even if Master Yan is here, I still have to ask." Ling Su snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.

"Sister Qiao, aren't you afraid?" Ruoyan saw Ling Su Tieqing's face and his legs were already weak, for fear that the two would fight.

"What are you afraid of, I can sit up straight, and I'm not afraid to fight! I'm a dignified and strong martial arts Qiao woman. Qiao Yiling looked arrogant, and Ruoyan looked at her adoringly.

"Sister Qiao, I heard that there is a masked woman who goes all the way south, but now there is no news of her, have you seen her?" Ruoyan is very inferior, and can only listen to the life he longs for from other people's stories.

"Of course! She and I are sisters. Qiao Yiling rose up and wanted to tease this simple girl.

"Did she ever kill someone?" Ruoyan desperately wanted to know the answer.

"No, the thieves will be handed over to the government to deal with, we can only teach a lesson, if anyone can kill people indiscriminately, then wouldn't everyone be in danger, and the rivers and lakes will be chaotic." Qiao Yiling seriously told Ruoyan these truths, feeling that they were not comprehensive enough, and added: "Although the rivers and lakes seem to have no system, everyone claims to be a hero, unrestrained, and free to wander, but in fact, there are rules and regulations, sects have rules, rangers have bottom lines, and murder is illegal, this is the reason for the existence of the government."

Ruoyan said an "oh" as if he didn't understand, turned his head and didn't speak, Qiao Yiling was surprised, "Why aren't you surprised by my relationship with the masked woman." ”

"It's rare to see a woman in the rivers and lakes, Sister Qiao is upright, the two cherish each other and become confidants, there is nothing surprising!"
