Chapter Ninety-Nine—The Fish Takes the Bait
The banquet continued.
During this period, Ling Yun kept peeking at Li Lian. Li Yang was crying and constantly finding faults, and his tone became more and more unpolite. Li Xingyi's nephew, Li Moyang, was peeking at Su Nuan.
On the third day, the patriarch of the Li family recruited Ling Yun again. In the name of hunting, he was given many spirit stones.
During the dinner, in addition to peeking at Li Lian, Ling Yun took the initiative to toast to the Li family patriarch, with a sincere expression and a look of gratitude.
The head of the Li family didn't say anything, but he was very satisfied in his heart.
That night, Li Lian took the initiative to visit Ling Yun and said that a friend of hers had been poisoned, and only heat dissipation pills could treat it, and the effect was the best. However, heat dissipation pills are relatively scarce, so they borrowed them from Lingyun.
"Finally can't help it?" Ling Yun sneered in his heart, and without saying a word, he lent her the heat dissipation pill.
After this incident, Li Lian seemed to be very grateful.
Ling Yun took the initiative to talk again, full of enthusiasm, the two got closer and closer, and the relationship heated up sharply.
It was time for the dinner on the fifth day.
The patriarch of the Li family suddenly asked directly: "Virtuous nephew, do you want to settle down in Jianmen Mountain?"
Ling Yun hurriedly stood up, his expression was calm, but he couldn't hide the panic in his eyes: "Jianmen Mountain is adjacent to Lijiazhai, which can be said to be the territory of the nobles. How dare the younger generations offend. ”
The patriarch of the Li family smiled in his heart, and became more and more sure that the destination of the first vein of the mountain was Jianmen Mountain.
She said hypocritically: "The virtuous nephew doesn't know anything, and the situation here is complicated. My Li family is under a lot of pressure, and it would be great if the Suxia Mountain vein could inhabit Jianmen Mountain and be an ally of my clan. ”
Ling Yun hurriedly denied it, saying that there was nothing to do.
Li Xingyi was also persuading, Ling Yun seemed to be intent on moving, but he did not let go.
After the dinner, Li Lian also came to knock on the side, Ling Yun's expression was complicated, and he still didn't admit it.
"Hmph, this kid, his mouth is very firm. After the dinner, the camp tent conspiracy, Li Xingyi gritted his teeth and sighed.
"This is the performance that the young master of a family should have. I'm not surprised. It's time to add another fire. The Li family patriarch looked at him leisurely.
So it was early the next morning.
Before Ling Yun could get up, he was woken up by the sound of an argument outside the tent.
When he walked out of the camp tent, he saw Li Yang crying and Li Lian pulling and pulling.
"Li Yang cried, how many times have I told you, don't come to pester me. Emotional matters can't be forced!" Li Lian shook off Li Yang's crying hand, cold as ice, "I still have something to do, you go first." ”
"Today's hunting competition is about to begin, what else do you have to do? It's the same time you're going to find that little white face who stayed down the mountain, right?" Li Yang cried and roared angrily.
"What are you talking about! Young Master Wentian is very kind, and the heat dissipation pill said to borrow it. If it weren't for his help, would Li Shengjing have recovered so quickly?"
"Lian'er, can you not be so simple. Heat dissipation pills, hehe, I think he wants to make love to you. Didn't you notice the way he looked at you?" Li Yang cried urgently.
Li Lian glared: "Li Yang is crying, you can stop it for me!Ah, ask the young master ...... heaven"
The two who were arguing found Ling Yun standing outside the tent.
Ling Yun's face was a little embarrassed, and his eyes were a little worried. He said to Li Lian: "It turned out to be Miss Li Lian." If there is anything, let's talk about it first. ”。
"You kid!" Li Yang cried and was furious, wanting to trouble Ling Yun, but was stopped by Li Lian halfway.
"Li Yang is crying, what do you want to do? Are you crazy? This is a distinguished guest of my clan!"
"What a distinguished guest, but a lost dog. Li Yang cried and pointed to Ling Yun's nose, "Boy, there is a kind of let's have a competition, a real battle of swords and guns! ”
"Hmph, I'm a spiritual being, you're a spiritual master, and you're embarrassed to say such things. Isn't it fair for the dignified Li family to bully the small with the big?" Ling Yun's face became ugly.
"In this world, there has never been fairness, only strength and weakness. You don't dare to compete, it's a bad seed! It turns out that Suxia Mountain is rich in bad seeds, ahahaha......" Li Yang cried and raised his head and laughed, his voice attracting the attention of many people around him.
"What's going on?" Li Xingyi rushed over at this time.
After Li Lian's explanation, Li Xingyi immediately reprimanded Li Yang and cried: "You are really nonsense, you dare to be rude to distinguished guests!"
Li Yang cried and held his head high: "He didn't even dare to fight, he was not a warrior." If he is not a warrior, why should he be courteous?"
"You!" Li Xingyi glared angrily, as if he was burning with rage.
Li Lian said: "You are an invitation to fight, whoever agrees is a fool." It was because of his injury that his cultivation declined. If he is in his prime, you may not be his opponent. ”
A young girl spoke to Ling Yun like this, if she really asked the sky to be here, I am afraid that she would have been extremely grateful.
But Ling Yun sneered in his heart: What a play!
"I'll replace Young Master Wentian, and I'll just compare myself with you. Li Lian continued.
Li Yang cried so angrily that he gasped: "Why do you want to stand up for him, besides, how can you represent him? Just his little white face, wretched, I can beat him ten! I don't compare with you, boy, you stand up if you have a seed." Silent and still a man?"
"If you want to compare, you can compare, who is afraid of whom!" Ling Yun couldn't stand the agitation, stiffened his neck, and said in an impulsive tone.
"Elder, did you hear that? he agreed!" Li Yang immediately shouted happily.
Li Xingyi frowned: "Life should have the courage to accept challenges. Ask Tianxian nephew, your courage is obvious to all. But you are a distinguished guest of our clan, if there are three long and two short, it is difficult for us to explain to the Suxia Mountain. Moreover, the two sides have different cultivations, and it is unfair to challenge them. ”
"What the elder said is that the junior is not thinking about it......" Ling Yun deliberately hesitated.
Seeing that Ling Yun had a tendency to retreat, Bai Yang Cry and Li Lian quickly exchanged glances.
Li Yang cried and then spoke, provoking Ling Yun's anger and provoking him.
Li Lian gritted her teeth, walked in front of Ling Yun, opened a pair of big watery eyes, and said in a soft voice: "Ask Tiangongzi, there is a reluctant request below." ”
"Oh, what did you say?"
"I implore Gongzi to agree to this challenge and help me get rid of Li Yang's crying entanglement. I really can't stand his harassment anymore. As she spoke, Li Lian burst into tears.
A young girl, pleading, asks a boy for help to drive away another hateful suitor.
Especially this boy, who also has a good impression of the girl.
You say, can this boy not agree?
So, Ling Yun immediately patted his chest and agreed: "Miss Lilian, don't be worried, your business is my business." I'm here to help. ”
After a pause, Ling Yun's tone was a little hesitant, "It's just that my cultivation is weaker than him for the time being." In case you lose......"
"Childe, rest assured, the little woman has already made up her mind. Li Lian smiled, like a daffodil blooming.
She turned around and said to Li Xingyi: "Elder, although the Heavenly Master has agreed to the competition, if there is a real duel, I am afraid it will hurt the harmony, and it will not be fair." I have a suggestion, why don't you take the opportunity of this hunting competition, and the two sides will be divided into five-person teams to compete in this hunt. ”
"Well, nice offer. Li Xingyi touched his beard and nodded slightly, "Then you can choose people." But for the sake of fairness, the cultivation of the five people must be equal. ”
Li Yang snorted coldly in displeasure.
"Yes. Li Lian hurriedly saluted happily.
......
Half an hour later, the two men set out.
On Lingyun's side, there are spirit masters Su Nuan and Li Lian, as well as two other female cultivators, who are similar in age to Li Lian, and both have spirit cultivators.
One of them, named Li Shengjing, was very grateful to Ling Yun.
It was the poison in her that was rescued by Ling Yun's heat dissipation pill before.
The team is hot, and although Ling Yun has the lowest cultivation, he is the central focus.
"Don't worry, Childe, we have already heard detailed information before, and we know where there is more precious prey. Come with us, that's it. "Li Shengjing has a more lively personality and is responsible for reconnaissance.
Everyone followed her, and sure enough, they killed a lot of unique prey.
Lingyun didn't contribute much, and the whole process was more like an outing.
"Ask Tiangongzi, I heard them say that you are staying in the lower mountain line, and you are going to migrate to Jianmen Mountain. Is that so?" Li Shengjing asked casually on the way back.
"It's all groundless. Ling Yun smiled.
"Childe, you are gentle and elegant, you are a decent gentleman, but it is much better than that Li Yang crying. Alas, if we can settle in Jianmen Mountain in the future, we will be able to meet often in the future. Li Shengjing continued.
Ling Yun laughed, and peeked at Li Lian, who was walking side by side beside him.
Li Lian looked worried: "It is by no means a simple matter to settle down and set up a village. The first condition is to find a spiritual vein. However, around the spiritual veins, the aura is strong, and there must be a herd of beasts or powerful poisonous insects and monsters. When the sages founded the cottage, they must go through fierce battles to kill the herds of beasts or poisonous insects. This process is inevitably accompanied by bloodshed and sacrifice. ”
As she spoke, she looked at Ling Yun, "Actually, there are a large number of bone beasts living on Jianmen Mountain. These bone beasts have a tough system and are very difficult to deal with. On Jianmen Mountain, there is no dirt, it is all white bones and stones. If you want to survive on this mountain, it is not impossible, but the price paid will be very high. ”
"Oh, is that so?" Ling Yun's smile showed a hint of reluctance, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
However, he pretended to be casual and asked, "I'm more interested in Jianmen Mountain. Li Lian, you are half a landlord, tell me how much danger there is on this mountain. ”
Li Lian smiled: "If the son wants to listen, then I'll talk about it." ”
While she exaggerated, she secretly urged the troublesome pill in the cyclone.
The effect of this pill is like a drizzle, silently, silently affecting the range of the surrounding area within ten steps. It can make people's minds heavier and more worried.
Ling Yun's smile gradually became less, and the sorrow in his eyes was overflowing.
"Don't worry about asking Tiangongzi, this time we will definitely be able to beat Li Yang crying. Li Shengjing deliberately explained.
Ling Yun nodded and replied a few words, but he seemed absent-minded and seemed particularly upset.
Next, he asked more questions.
It's all about Jianmen Mountain, especially a certain section of the back mountain.
Li Liandu gave a patient answer.
This scene is faithfully and synchronously displayed in the tent.
"The little fish has taken the bait. The patriarch of the Li family smiled proudly, "Is the back mountain ......?"
She began to compare the maps on the table.
