Chapter 9 If you are not afraid of envy, you are afraid of envy
In the lotus pond, in the place where Uncle Mo looked, there were more than a dozen carp of various colors in the water, which were constantly swimming.
Strangely, however, no matter how much the carp swims, it can only swim within the size of a bucket, but it cannot swim out. However, if you look closely, you can vaguely feel that there are more than a dozen mana lines in the water, the thickness of a finger, and they are in a circle around the swimming fish. However, this circle is not complete, there are two gaps.
However, even if there is a gap, once a fish wants to swim out of it, a mana will move over to block the gap, and a new gap will appear in the original place. In this way, the swimming fish kept looking for a gap to get out, and the mana line kept moving to block, and it was stalemate for a while.
It lasted for almost a hundred breaths, and finally one broke out, Uncle Mo retracted his gaze, and the other carp were also liberated and scattered in all directions.
"Yes, it's twenty breaths longer than yesterday. If it weren't for the final exhaustion, Uncle Mo would probably not be a problem to survive until 100 breaths. Ling Yun closed the scroll and opened his mouth to analyze.
Hearing this, Uncle Mo nodded in agreement.
Since the last time he helped Ling Yun refine the pill and improved his mana control, Uncle Mo has always remembered it in his heart. On the second day after returning to the Martial Academy, he put down his identity as a master of the Spirit Realm and took the initiative to ask Ling Yun for advice.
Ling Yun naturally accepted it gladly, and finally thought of this method for Uncle Mo to cultivate, which he jokingly called "Blocking the Dragon Gate".
And Uncle Mo is also worthy of being a master at the peak of the Returning Spirit Realm, and in just two days of trying, the mana under his control has increased from the original ten to the current fifteen. However, the further you go, the more difficult it becomes to improve. According to Uncle Mo's own analysis, it was caused by his realm being too low and his mana being insufficient. Even so, it helped him a lot, and his strength increased by three or four percent in just these two days.
"But it doesn't hurt. At the same time, if you control too much, the consumption will be very fast, and once you fall into a protracted war, it will be very disadvantageous. With Uncle Mo's mana, the twelve realms are the most suitable, which can not only exert good strength, but also last for a long time. Ling Yun said again, making a more pertinent suggestion to Uncle Mo.
Hearing this, Uncle Mo nodded, and then bowed slightly to Ling Yun: "Thank you Ling Gongzi." ”
"What is there to thank for, Uncle Mo's strength is there, I just move my mouth. Ling Yun helped Uncle Mo up, then smiled helplessly, and said, "Moreover, I'm afraid that in a while, I will need Uncle Mo to help me." ”
"What?" Hearing this, Uncle Mo was stunned.
Ling Yun didn't explain, but turned his head to look at the other side of the lotus pond.
On the lotus tower, there are more than a dozen figures, half of them are old and half of them are young, all of them are brocade clothes, pearlescent flashing, obviously not rich or expensive.
And among these, Ling Yun also found two familiar figures, Li Xin and Zhou Jian, who had a relationship with each other in the Haotian Chamber of Commerce.
The two of them also seemed to see Ling Yun and Uncle Mo, Li Xin was okay, and he smiled from afar, but Zhou Jian had an expression of "I finally found you", and Li Xin didn't know what to say, so he pulled a group of young masters and hurriedly went downstairs.
"Hey, if you're not afraid of envy, you're afraid of jealousy. Especially this young man's jealousy, I can't stand it!"
Seeing this, Ling Yun sighed slightly, knowing that he was indeed coming at him. Although he said that day that he had nothing to do with Murong Xiaoxiao, this did not mean that Zhou Jian would definitely believe it, after all, they had no basis for trust.
But he is not in a hurry, with Uncle Mo here, even if these people want to find fault, they don't dare to do it.
Deep in Muyang Pavilion.
After a garden, there is a single attic, and there is a book on the door: Mu Yazhai, which is where Murong Xiaoxiao lives,
At this time, Murong Xiaoxiao had just finished her morning class and was meditating cross-legged.
As Murong Feng's only daughter, Murong Xiaoxiao has been taught by Murong Feng since she was a child, and with her talent and intelligence, her strength is not bad. Especially this time, Murong Xiaoxiao will also officially enter the Martial Academy to study, as the daughter of the dean, she must not be left behind, and the quota of the top ten disciples must also be won by then, so she cultivates very hard.
"Miss, Miss, no!"
Outside the door, an exclamation came, waking up Murong Xiaoxiao who was meditating. After a while, I saw a white flash flashing, and a maid rushed in, looking hurried.
"Phew, bah, bah. Hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao stood up for a while, stretched out his hand and knocked on the maid's head: "What nonsense! Miss, I'm fine!"
The maid didn't dare to hide, so she had to accept this knock, and hurriedly said, "Miss, the second son of the Zhou family is here." ”
Hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao frowned slightly and asked, "What is he doing here?"
The maid shook her head and said, "I don't know what they are doing here, but he is not the only one, and the lords and sons of several families are here." Moreover, I just saw Zhou Gongzi and their menacing Chong Ling Gongzi's side. ”
"Young Master Ling?" Murong Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then his face changed slightly: "Oh no, Zhou Jian must have misunderstood last time." Ling Gongzi had never cultivated, so if he started to do it, he would probably be difficult to deal with. ”
"What then, do you want to tell the master?" said the maid, with some concern.
In the past few days, Lingyun has lived in Muyang Pavilion, and whether he meets his subordinates or stewards, he is polite and polite, and everyone likes him. At this time, Lingyun was in trouble, so much so that the maid couldn't help but worry.
"No, I don't. This is the Martial Academy, and they don't dare to mess around too much. Besides, this matter was misunderstood by me who caused Ling Gongzi, so naturally it should be handled by me. Murong Xiaoxiao shook her head and asked again, "Where are they now?"
"It's at the little pavilion in the lotus pond. The maid said.
Hearing this, Murong Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate, grabbed the sword on the table, and walked towards the door.
Lotus pondside.
After several detours, Zhou Jian and the others finally found Xiaoting.
Ling Yun was still sitting in the pavilion reading a book, and he did not panic in the slightest because of the arrival of Zhou Jian and the others.
However, Uncle Mo was the chief housekeeper of the Murong family after all, and when he saw everyone coming at this time, he could only take the initiative to greet him.
"It turned out to be the sons of the Li family, the Mu family, the Wang family, the Luo family, the Zhou family, the Wu family, and the Xie family. I don't know if it was intentional or not, but it just blocked the way into the pavilion.
"I've seen Mo Lao!"
Seeing that Mo Lao was catching up, everyone didn't dare to break in, so they had to return the salute first.
But Zhou Jian couldn't wait, and when he saw Ling Yun in the pavilion, he shouted at the top of his voice: "The boy surnamed Ling, tell me the truth, do you have a leg with Xiaoxiao." ”
"Master Zhou, pay attention to your wording, otherwise don't blame the old man for driving you out. ”
Without waiting for Ling Yun to answer, Uncle Mo's face sank when he heard this, and he shouted angrily. The momentum of his return to the peak of the Spirit Realm also poured out, and the sons and brothers only felt a sinking on their bodies, and there was an inexplicable pressure on their shoulders.
Seeing this, Li Xin on the side hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Zhou Jian back, bowed apologetically to Uncle Mo, and said, "Old Mo is angry, Brother Zhou is anxious, and he doesn't mean to blaspheme Miss Murong, I hope you will forgive me." ”
"Hmph, it's better to do this!" Uncle Mo snorted coldly, and then retracted his momentum, but he still didn't intend to give way.
In the crowd, Mu Lian saw that the situation was frozen, so he had to step forward and say, "Mo Lao, we are here to visit with our elders." I just saw this son here, so there was some misunderstanding with Zhou Gongzi, so I came to resolve it, I don't know if I can help introduce it. ”
Hearing this, Uncle Mo's eyes flickered. If the other party insists on breaking through, he still has a reason to stop him. But at this time, the other party is not breaking in, and it is a little strange for him to stop again.
"Uncle Mo, it's okay, let them in!"
Just when Uncle Mo hesitated, Ling Yun's voice sounded.
Hearing this, Uncle Mo moved out of the way, but just in case, he still stood by and didn't go away.
"The surname is Ling, tell me honestly, do you have anything to do with Xiaoxiao?" As soon as he entered the pavilion, Zhou Jian rushed to his side and asked, but with the previous lesson, this time his voice was lowered a lot.
As soon as Zhou Jian's words came out, several other people also looked at Ling Yun, and there was a bit of pressure in the air.
In the face of Zhou Jian's questioning, Ling Yun didn't even raise his head, his eyes were still on the scroll, and he said lightly: "What does it mean to have a relationship? What does it mean to have no relationship? Zhou Gongzi's words are not understandable below. ”
Ling Yun's answer was naturally not what Zhou Jian wanted, and he asked, "Then tell me, do you like Xiaoxiao or not?"
Hearing this, Ling Yun sighed slightly, raised his head a little helplessly, and looked at Zhou Jiandao: "Master Zhou, I have some doubts, what is the relationship between you and Miss Murong?"
"I, we ......" Hearing this, Zhou Jian looked stunned, and thought for a long time before saying, "We are friends." ”
Hearing this, Ling Yun shook his head: "Friend." In other words, you don't really have anything to do with each other. After speaking, Ling Yun suddenly said in a tone: "Since you have no relationship, I have a relationship with Miss Murong, or I have no relationship, what does it have to do with you!"
"I ......"
Being drunk by Ling Yun, Zhou Jian was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Young Master Ling, what you said is not right. Seeing that Zhou Jian couldn't say anything about Lingyun, Mu Lian quickly stood up and took over the words: "We and Xiaoxiao are both friends, and it is natural for friends to care about each other. Xiaoxiao is not deeply involved in the world, and he doesn't know that the rivers and lakes are sinister, and Sven scum abounds. Naturally, our friends had to keep a check on the people who appeared around her, so that she would not be deceived. ”
Although Mu Lian didn't say it explicitly, the only one who meets Sven's word is Ling Yun at the moment.
"According to what Mu Gongzi said, if you don't approve of it, I, Murong Xiaoxiao, won't be able to make friends. As soon as Mu Lian finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice coming, but it was Murong Xiaoxiao, who rushed to hear the news, stayed in the pavilion, and said in a cold tone: "Ling Gongzi is a distinguished guest invited by my father to live in the mansion, according to Mu Gongzi's meaning, I Murong Xiaoxiao can't tell the difference between good and bad, is my father also blind!"
Murong Xiaoxiao has a lively and cheerful personality on weekdays, but at this time, her expression is cold, her words are sharp, and she is holding a sword, which adds to the momentum and calms everyone. Even Zhou Jian, who was originally overjoyed to see Murong Xiaoxiao, didn't dare to lean over.
Mu Lian was also taken aback, for fear that Murong Xiaoxiao would make a move if he didn't agree with him, so he hurriedly explained: "Xiaoxiao, what you said is serious, I have always respected my uncle, how can I suspect him as an old man!"
On the side, Ling Yun listened to Murong Xiaoxiao's address to Mu Lian, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly. He suddenly understood a little why these sons and daughters of the family would be so coincidental today and come to trouble him together.
"Young Master Ling, are you okay?"
Just thinking about it, Murong Xiaoxiao had already walked to Ling Yun's side and asked apologetically.
"It's okay, it's just a little noisy, which spoils the interest in reading. Ling Yun said with a faint smile. Following Mr. who has never seen anything in the world, Mu Lian and the others really can't get into his eyes at this little battle.
