Chapter 495: Hypocritical Goodness

Ling's place of residence was not very far from the Elders' House of Fenglin Academy, and with the strength of the two of them, they came to Shang Qingyun's resting place in no more than a stick of incense. The Elder Pavilion is the resting place of the elders of Fenglin Academy, divided into east, west and south three courtyards, before the grand meeting was held, the people living here are the respected predecessors of Fenglin Academy, these people have made great contributions to Fenglin Academy, and it is the foundation of Fenglin Academy. But this time the immortals were in the lower realm, and in desperation, Ye Ruyu had no choice but to arrange the people of the Three Realms in the three courtyards of the Elder Pavilion. The elders who lived here before were invited by Ye Ruyu to another building group on the mountain behind the academy. The specifications of the three courtyards of the Elder's Pavilion are the same, and there are clear springs and trees between them, so they do not interfere. The environment here is quiet, surrounded by jungles, and the spring water is still around, and it is indeed a beautiful place for Zhong Lingyu.

Seeing the man come here with a Huaxia cultivator, the eyes of everyone who was resting here in the Heavenly Hidden Realm showed disdain, arrogance, curiosity, and other expressions. They are all from the Immortal Realm, even if Huaxia was once respected in the Sea of Stars, but in their eyes, this is just a declining ancient land, and the cultivators who grew up on this star must be vulnerable and not worthy of their equal treatment.

The man walked to a building in the center of the south courtyard of the Elders' Pavilion, knocked on the door knocker, and said respectfully: "Returning to Immortal Venerable, Ling has been invited by me, and is now waiting outside the door, and I hope that Immortal Venerable will instruct." The man bowed, a world away from the arrogant behavior of the previous meeting with Ling.

As soon as the man's words fell, he heard a rush of footsteps from the room, and after a short time, Shang Qingyun came out from inside. When he saw Ling outside the door, Shang Qingyun was overjoyed, he turned his head, patted the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, I will reward you when we return to the Immortal Realm." There's nothing for you to do here, so go down first. Shang Qingyun is well versed in the art of manipulating people, and he will make men more loyal to themselves when he says this, without mentioning what specific rewards will be given to men, and let men have enough curiosity and expectations.

Sure enough, after hearing Shang Qingyun's words, the man showed joy on his face, expressed his loyalty to Shang Qingyun, and turned to leave. Shang Qingyun is an immortal venerable in the Heavenly Hidden Realm, if he can be allowed to treat him with blue eyes, then his status in the Heavenly Hidden Realm will definitely rise in the future.

When the man left, Shang Qingyun clasped his fists at Ling Weiwei and said with a smile: "As soon as I arrived in the human realm this time, I heard that there is a Ling Shaoxia in the northern region of China, this person is extremely talented and has a strong cultivation. Ling Shaoxia is young, but he has immortal-level exercises, and he has many powerful people to help, he must be able to soar thousands of miles in the future and overlook the world!" Shang Qingyun looked Ling up and down, smiling, and did not hesitate to praise him. However, no one knows whether this praise is true or false.

"Shang Xianzun, you didn't call me just to talk about these inconsequential things, right? Everyone is a smart person, so it's better to get straight to the point and have something to say. Ling was tired of Shang Qingyun's hypocrisy, and he hugged his fist at Shang Qingyun and said with a cold expression.

"Hahaha, Ling Xiaoyou is really fast. Yes, I did have something important to discuss with you when I invited you this time, Ling Xiaoyou, and please follow me to the house to discuss it in detail. Seeing Ling's indifferent attitude, Shang Qingyun didn't care, he made a gesture of invitation to Ling and smiled.

When Ling followed Shang Qingyun to the room, Shang Qingyun turned around and closed the door tightly, and at the same time, three hidden spirit runes appeared in his hand at some point, he raised his right hand and pasted the three hidden spirit runes on the door, blocking the sound in the room, so that the outside of the house could not peep

Listen.

Seeing Shang Qingyun's movements, Ling nodded secretly, this Shang Qingyun is worthy of an old fox, not only is the city extremely deep, but he is also very cautious in doing things, and he does not leak. Ling had no doubt that the other party would be unfavorable to him, because Shang Qingyun knew that he had a close relationship with his husband, and with the other party's character, he would never dare to embarrass himself in Huaxia. Shang Qingyun was doing this to be on guard, not only to be wary of the other forces of the two realms eavesdropping in secret, but also to be wary of his own disciples. As a generation of immortals, he is defensive of his disciples, which shows that this person is by no means as kind as he seems.

When Shang Qingyun activated the spirit rune, he turned his head to look at Ling, and said with a meaningful smile: "At this time, there are only you and me in the room, and now I have sealed the sound in the room with the spirit rune, and I am still a powerhouse in the immortal realm, isn't Ling Xiaoyou afraid that I will be bad for you?"

"If you really want to be against me, you won't let your disciples invite me in public. And Shang Xianzun is cautious, knowing that Huaxia is extraordinary, I don't think you will do that kind of cocooning and self-restraint. Ling's face was calm, and he shook his head and said.

"Hahaha, Ling Xiaoyou is really clever and smart. Alas, in fact, I have no choice but to do this, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, now the fairy realm is turbulent, and all forces are wrestling in secret, so I have to guard against it. I need Ling Xiaoyou's help, so I made this decision to lay down an enchantment, and I hope Ling Xiaoyou will forgive me. Hearing Ling's words, Shang Qingyun was slightly stunned, then shook his head with a wry smile on his face, and said helplessly. Shang Qingyun sealed the room with spirit runes, in fact, he was also testing Ling to see if the other party was really as wise as the legend.

"Shang Xianzun said with a smile, you are an omnipotent immortal realm giant, and I am just a good-for-nothing mortal cultivator, what skills can help you?" Ling smiled slightly and said quietly. Although Shang Qingyun's face was sincere, Ling was unmoved.

"Ling Xiaoyou is not from the Immortal Realm, and it is reasonable that he doesn't understand the battle in the Immortal Realm. Don't look at the appearance of our Heavenly Hidden Realm, in fact, the real life is very miserable, on the one hand, we have to guard against other forces to swallow us, and on the other hand, we have to find ways to strengthen our forces and compete with them. For tens of thousands of years, the Heavenly Hidden Realm has been walking on thin ice, and every step has been cautious and not careless. Shang Qingyun made a worried look, peeked at Ling, and seeing that Ling was unmoved, Shang Qingyun rolled his eyes and continued: "Actually, when I was just in the lower realm, I heard that there was a genius boy named Ling in Huaxia. When I saw Ling Xiaoyou at dusk today, I was even more shocked, especially when the guardian of the Northern Regions said that Ling Shaoxia's ancestor was the Nine Heavens Ling family, the old man loved Shaoxia even more. With such an excellent bloodline, it is reasonable for Ling Shaoxia to be amazing no matter how amazing he is. Of course, your achievements today are inseparable from your own talent and hard work. It's just that I have one thing that I am very puzzled about, since Ling Xiaoyou is a descendant of the Nine Heavens Ling family, why don't you find an opportunity to return to the Immortal Realm and recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?"

Hearing Shang Qingyun's words, Ling's heart moved, and the secret path finally got down to business. Ling guessed that Shang Qingyun did this for two purposes, one was that he was testing himself, wanting to see from his performance that his grandfather was forced to leave the Immortal Realm because he had a stalemate with the Nine Heavens Ling family as rumored, or as some top forces speculated, this was just a ploy set up by the ancestor of the Ling family in order to eradicate people with ill intentions towards the Ling family. Second, if the rumors are true, then he will no longer be afraid of the Ling family's deterrence, and unscrupulously coerce himself to find the key to the heavens for him, if the truth of the matter is as some forces speculate, then he can also take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with himself, and use himself as a springboard to contact the Nine Heavens Ling family

His ambition paved the way. As long as he can pull the Ling family as a backer, the Heavenly Hidden Realm will no longer have any scruples.

Thinking about this, Ling smiled slightly, and said softly: "Shang Xianzun doesn't know, since I was a child, my grandfather told me that I should try my best to face everything by myself, and I can't always rely on my ancestors to be shaded, and the road must be walked by myself to be sure." As for returning to the Immortal Realm, my grandfather said that he had his own plans. ”

These words made Shang Qingyun like the second monk puzzled, and the other party was vague and ambiguous, neither saying whether Ling Feng was forced to leave the Ling family back then or whether Ling Kun did it on purpose, nor did he say what Ling Feng's plans were. He originally wanted to get some valuable information from Ling's mouth, but the other party's words made Shang Qing confused, and he couldn't guess Ling's true thoughts. Shang Qingyun thought to himself, since the descendants of the Ling family in front of him were as shrewd as foxes, it seemed that it was impossible to get words out of his mouth. The Nine Heavens Ling family is a top force in the Immortal Realm that cannot be provoked, and it is better to pretend to show favor than to offend easily. Thinking of this, Shang Qingyun smiled slightly, and continued: "Since Grandfather Venerable is far-sighted, then I won't talk much, I just hope that after Ling Xiaoyou flies to the Immortal Realm, the old man will come to visit, don't close the door and thank you." ”

"Shang Xianzun said with a smile, it's just that you invited me here today, it shouldn't be as simple as talking about family cooking, right?" Ling picked up the fragrant tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a smile. Shang Qingyun, the old fox, flickered his words, and never mentioned the matter of returning to the ruins, which made Ling more and more impatient.

"Of course, Ling Xiaoyou, you have also seen today that among the three forces in the Nether Realm, the Hongyuan Realm has an arrogant attitude, no one in sight, and they are not so friendly to Huaxia cultivators, their purpose this time is very simple, it is for the five Heavenly Que Keys. If one day the cultivators of the Hongyuan Realm find the Key of the Heavenly Que, they will definitely take action against you. Although the Soul Hidden Realm seems to be incompatible, their purpose is the same as that of the Hongyuan Realm, if there is a real conflict, I think they would rather form an alliance with the Hongyuan Realm than throw an olive branch to Huaxia. Only the Heavenly Hidden Realm is different, most of our Heavenly Hidden Realm are cultivators who have ascended from Huaxia to the Immortal Realm, if Huaxia fights with the other two realms, we have always been on your side. If Ling Xiaoyou can cooperate with our Heavenly Hidden Realm, I will definitely protect you, when the time comes, you help us find the Key of the Heavenly Que, and I will help you block the cultivators of the other two realms, and after obtaining the five Heavenly Que Keys, we will find that ancient path together and seize the power of eternity, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?" Shang Qingyun poured hot tea for Ling and said seemingly sincerely.

Although Shang Qingyun's words seemed to outsiders to be for Ling's sake, Ling heard an unusual meaning. Although the other party said that he wanted to advance and retreat together with Huaxia, the verbal agreement was actually not binding at all, and if he found the key to Tianque, he did not say who he would hand it over to for safekeeping. The most important thing is that if he gets the power of eternity, I am afraid that with Shang Qingyun's character, he will immediately turn his face and raise the butcher's knife against himself and the Huaxia cultivators. It's okay to deceive others with this kind of hypocritical words, but if you want to coax Ling, it won't work at all.

"Shang Xianzun's words really moved me, but before discussing this matter, I was very curious about another matter, if that matter was not resolved, I am afraid that I would not be in the mood to think about cooperation. Why do you say that I have obtained a key to the Heavenly Que in the ruins? Shang Xianzun, do you know that if this lie spreads to the outside world, it will definitely push me to the cusp. What are your intentions in doing this?" Ling asked in a deep voice as he stared at Shang Qingyun's eyes tightly. Regarding the cooperation that Shang Qingyun said, Ling didn't believe it at all, the reason why he came was because of Shang Qingyun's disciple's words. Everything else can be left undiscussed, but this matter must be investigated!
