It is difficult for Xu Lin himself to say clearly what kind of opinion he has of Jiang Wanren. Since he was a child, Jiang Wanren has not been the head of the Kongsang faction, but he is already a well-known martial arts genius, and he has heard of this majestic deeds a lot.

Xu Lin also regarded him as an idol for a while, thinking that it would be good if he could be as powerful as Jiang Wanren, but he was soon destroyed by the miserable situation of the Imperial Sword Gate.

The Imperial Sword Gate, which is struggling to survive under the Martial Alliance, is really difficult to have any good feelings about the Kongsang faction that controls the Martial Alliance. So Jiang Wanren has become a distant name, and he will not have any intersection with Xu Lin.

At that time, Xu Lin's biggest enemies were his daily hunger and the group of muscular guys in the Iron Knife Gate.

And now, Xu Lin has grown up, the Iron Dao Gate has been abolished, and Jiang Wanren walked in front of him and admitted that he was his opponent.

Xu Lin himself did not expect this change.

Therefore, when he heard Jiang Wanren's request to see him, Xu Lin was stunned on the spot, and after waiting for a long time, Xu Lin calmed down his complicated mood and said to his subordinates: "Please let him in." ”

Although I don't know why Jiang Wanren came to see him, since Jiang Wanren has already been out of the customs, Xu Lin's purpose has been achieved. Now that it has only been more than a month since the three-month deadline he said, if Jiang Wanren is in agreement, then Xu Lin will also admit it, and he will not be ashamed to lose as much as he can.

And as long as Jiang Wanren did not join the way, he also returned to the virtual realm, Xu Lin was still abused tens of thousands of times in the Divine War Illusion Realm, although he may not be able to beat Jiang Wanren, but he is more than capable of self-preservation.

Jiang Wanren was invited into the Isolation Tower, and as soon as he entered the door, he keenly felt the special nature of this Isolation Tower, and the effect of practicing martial arts here would be significantly improved. Jiang Wanren slowed down his pace and climbed the stairs layer by layer, as if he wanted to see this pagoda through.

When he came to the highest floor, Xu Lin had already made tea and waited.

Compared with the memories in his mind, Jiang Wanren has not changed much. He was dressed in a dark green and almost black robe, and his hair was casually draped, but he didn't even have half a beard. At first glance, you may think that this man is nothing more than that, and there is nothing special about it.

But if you take a second look, you will feel that there seems to be only one person between heaven and earth, where Jiang Wanren is, everything around him will become a background to set off his existence.

This kind of temperament is somewhat similar to Yin Honglian. However, Yin Honglian is like a fiercely burning flame lotus, dazzling people, but she can't help but want to look at it twice; Jiang Wanren seemed to emit endless darkness, covering everything around him, leaving him alone to be able to see clearly.

Seeing Jiang Wanren, Xu Lin remembered a sentence: I am the only one in heaven and on earth.

Xu Lin is no longer the boy who has no longevity and short-sightedness, and he was not affected by Jiang Wanren's temperament, and greeted: "Master Jiang, the best Qingquan Pu'er, I hope you can get used to drinking." ”

Jiang Wanren smiled slightly, sat in front of Xu Lin, and unceremoniously picked up the teacup and drank it all. It's not like drinking tea, it's like drinking.

After drinking, Jiang Wanren said to Xu Lin: "The tea is average, and it is not worthy of your current status as the head of Xu." ”

Xu Lin didn't care, poured himself a glass, and tasted it slowly. At the beginning, I had to rely on the filial piety of my apprentices to drink a sip of Qingquan Pu'er, and the osmanthus cake was regarded as a great delicacy, and I was reluctant to eat it all at once.

And now his identity, these things are at his fingertips.

The taste is still very good, but it doesn't have the emotional bonus that I couldn't ask for at the beginning, and it has become an ordinary mundane thing. After all, it's just something sold at the bottom of the mountain, and no matter how high the price is, it can't compare to those "special" treasures.

Jiang Wanren said that this tea is generally not intended to belittle, and it is indeed far worse than his usual use.

"This tea, this pastry, used to be my dream. Although it is now at my fingertips, it can always remind me not to forget my original intention. Xu Lin replied.

"What is the original intention of Master Xu?" Jiang Wanren asked again.

"Let the Imperial Sword Gate become the first sect in Kongsang Mountain, and even the first sect in the world." Xu Lin replied.

When Jiang Wanren heard this, he smiled again and said, "Yes, Master Xu is worthy of such ambitions." ”

"Then I don't know what ambitions Master Jiang has?" Xu Lin asked rhetorically.

"Without him, only Doyle." Jiang Wanren replied without hesitation.

"So you've been thinking about unifying the entire Kongsang Mountain all these years in order to break through the Merge Dao?" Xu Lin asked his biggest conjecture, and it was also the conjecture of everyone in the entire Kongsang Mountain now.

Jiang Wanren paused for a moment, and then said, "That's right, I don't want to take the path of Ancestor Kongsang, that is someone else's path, not mine, so I do want to use this to break through the Merge Dao, but this can only be said to be one of the paths." ”

After hearing this, Xu Lin couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, this is just one of Jiang Wanren's ways to join the way?

He believed that Jiang Wanren had not deceived himself, and in this situation, there was no point in telling any lies. It's like Xu Lin is almost clear about dealing with the Kongsang faction, and there is no need to hide anything at all.

Jiang Wanren seemed to be able to see through Xu Lin's thoughts, so he said to him: "You want to know what the other path is, I can tell you, but before that, I want to ask you a few questions. ”

This was the tone of discussion, as if Xu Lin would turn around and leave if he didn't agree.

"Excuse me, but I can't guarantee everything."

The power of the system is too amazing for Xu Lin to explain, and he doesn't want to tell the other party this biggest secret.

"Let me ask the first one first, when the new disciple competed, the seven Jin Nian of the Ice Heart Hall were poisoned and injured, did you arrange it?"

Jiang Wanren's question surprised Xu Lin a little, he didn't ask about his martial arts, but asked about this kind of thing that was a foregone conclusion?

At this point, there is nothing to hide.

"Several of my disciples have something to do with Qi Jin Nian, so I asked Qi Jin Nian to challenge the Imperial Sword Gate at that time, wanting to divert your attention. But her injury was an accident, and I am not an immortal, so I can't count all the mistakes of the Kongsang Sect. Xu Lin said frankly.

Jiang Wanren didn't have any change in his expression, and he didn't continue to ask for details, but asked another question: "The scourge in the Immortal Cave Mansion was deliberately left by you to the Kongsang Sect?" ”

This is even more strange, Jiang Wanren didn't ask how the scourge came about, but asked if it was deliberately left for the Kongsang faction, is this question important?

Xu Lin smiled bitterly: "At the beginning, the Imperial Sword Gate was poor and white, so why was it willing to deliberately give it away." But even if I don't want to, what can I do? ”

"So, both of those things were accidents. Including your participation in the Imperial City to win the heir, and the Ranshan faction, all of this is a coincidence? Jiang Wanren asked.

"Of course, I have my own choices, but it is also the occasional encounter that makes me go with the flow. I originally refused to be solicited by the second prince, who would have thought that in the end it would be met again on the road, I didn't know his identity at the time, but he was a passerby who saved his life, and I fell into it. As for the matter between me and Yue'er, it was even more unexpected, I didn't know that it was a martial arts competition. Xu Lin said calmly.

Life never knows what will happen tomorrow, Xu Lin can only try to think long-term, but cannot predict the future.

"Understood, thank you for your explanation." Jiang Wanren showed a sincere smile, personally poured a cup of tea for Xu Lin, and saluted.

Xu Lin didn't know why, why Jiang Wanren suddenly gave himself tea, is this posture a little too low?

After drinking this cup of tea, Xu Lin asked, "Master Jiang, I don't know what the second path you just said is?" ”

This question was too critical, and Xu Lin couldn't help but pour his true qi into his ears, for fear of missing a word.

Jiang Wanren didn't have any intention of shirking, and said to Xu Lin quite seriously: "Master Xu, you may not believe this sentence next, but it is true. Since I was born, Jiang Wanren, my talent has been far superior to others. When I was a teenager, I was already the first person among the young masters of Kongsang Mountain, and the competition for the head of the Kongsang faction was even more handy, whether it was martial arts or strategy, I have not tasted defeat in this life in the past few decades. ”

Xu Lin was a little strange, how could he suddenly boast about himself.

Seeing Xu Lin's doubts, Jiang Wanren continued: "The reason why I have not been able to join the path is because I am unwilling to take the path of Ancestor Kongsang, and secondly, because I have never known what it is like to fail. Master Xu, a person who has never been defeated, life is incomplete, and my martial arts will is not perfect at this point, and it has never been perfect.

"And now, thanks to you, the battle between the Kongsang Sect and the Imperial Sword Gate can be said to be a complete defeat. And what I just asked, I also understand the reason for my failure. It can only be said that three points are man-made, and seven points are providential.

"The destiny is not mine, so the Kongsang faction will fall into passivity again and again. When heaven and earth borrow together, when heroes are not free. Your luck is strong, and the Kongsang sect is against you, and naturally everything is not going well.

"I've tried my best, I didn't make a mistake every step of the way, and I responded in a timely manner. So, I tried my best, but in the end I lost to you, to Providence.

"That's why this failure has made me complete. Therefore, the time of conformity is today. ”

After the last sentence was spoken, Jiang Wanren's entire temperament began to change drastically.
