Chapter 34: The time is ripe
In Qin Feng's eyes, his mother seemed to have more of a relationship of mutual cooperation and transaction with the elders of the Ling clan.
Because, in Qin Feng's tracking and observation later, he found that there were several places where his mother and the Ling clan elders gathered, and they were all quite secret places.
The place where Qin Feng himself bathed in the moonlight was just one of the places where they met.
Even though Qin Feng carefully hid in the canopy of the tree to soak in the moonlight every time, and at the same time hoped that he would be able to overhear the conversation between his mother and the Ling clan elder, it was very rare for him to successfully encounter them gathering here.
Even if he occasionally met his mother and the Ling clan elder discussing something under the big tree, what Qin Feng could hear was extremely limited.
Because these two people were extremely careful in addition to speaking, the main thing was that the place where Qin Feng stayed was the lower reaches of the Panlong River, where the river was rushing and the noise was very loud.
And this is the place where the sea borders the Panlong River, and the wind has been howling all year round, so that Qin Feng just wants to eavesdrop more clearly, but he always can't hear it.
The last time Qin Feng met his mother and the elders of the Ling clan, it was the patriarch's grandfather who asked these elders of the Shaoba clan to teach Qin Feng what happened after his skills.
Qin Feng remembered at that time that he had learned almost all the flying needle secret weapon techniques of the Ling clan, but the Ling clan elders were unwilling to teach Qin Feng the silver needle piercing technique under various excuses, and in desperation, Qin Feng told his mother about this matter first.
On the full moon night of that month, Qin Feng happened to see the Ling clan elder and his mother gathering again under the big tree where he was hiding.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng heard his mother arguing with the boss of the Ling clan. And the content of their quarrel revolved around whether the Ling clan elder was willing to teach Qin Feng the stunt of silver acupuncture?
It was also at that time that Qin Feng realized that no matter how well he cultivated the technique of the Flying Needle Secret Weapon, it seemed that the old man of the Ling clan would not easily teach him the technique of piercing the acupoint with a silver needle.
Even if the old patriarch Qin Hanlu forced it down, it seemed unlikely that it would have an effect, because Qin Feng could hear that in addition to being the patriarch of the Shaoba clan, the Ling clan elder seemed to have another identity.
It was precisely because the voices of the two people arguing were louder that Qin Feng was able to hear them more clearly this time.
Qin Feng was also in the quarrel between the two of them, and he also heard the elders of the Ling clan call his mother an envoy.
And the elder of the Ling clan also said that Qin Feng's mother should not trap herself in, she should not have a child, and she should not hand over the words such as the old man's own supernatural powers at the bottom of the box for the sake of this child.
This made Qin Feng himself stunned at that time...
And Qin Feng's mother pointed out that if it weren't for the incompetence of the Ling clan elder, she would not have achieved anything to this day, and she herself would not have come to a place like the Shaoba clan, let alone stay in this place where birds don't and ghosts don't lay eggs.
This made the Ling clan elder speechless.
And obviously, the words of the Ling clan who called Qin Feng's mother a "messenger" were reprimanded by his mother.
She accused the Ling clan elder of not being able to reveal her identity at any time, which made the Ling clan elder himself speechless, as if he knew that he had made a mistake.
In the end, Qin Feng's mother also reached a deal with the Ling clan elder, that is, when the time was ripe, the Ling clan elder could teach Qin Feng his own silver needle puncture technique at the bottom of the box, but in exchange, Qin Feng's mother kept the mistake he made today confidential.
Qin Feng's mother added a condition on this basis, that is, if the time was not ripe, before the old man of the Ling clan died, he must also pass on the inheritance of the silver needle puncture point, including the bronze man, to Qin Feng without reservation, and the old man also readily agreed after a little hesitation...
It was also from that time that Qin Feng knew that his mother had the identity of the so-called mysterious messenger in the outside world, which made Qin Feng a little overwhelmed while being dumbfounded.
But no matter what, a mother is a mother, and she is still worried about her son all the time.
It's just that Qin Feng felt that the old man of the Ling clan was not a thing, and he obviously patted his chest and assured the old patriarch that he would teach himself to prick the acupuncture points with silver needles, but it turned out to be such a trouble.
Of course, Qin Feng knew that his mother and the elder of the Ling clan might belong to a certain force or organization, and his mother's identity seemed to be higher than that of the elder of the Ling clan.
But what kind of identity his mother and the elder of the Ling clan have, and what kind of mission they have, Qin Feng himself is completely unclear.
And what the kind of time that the Ling clan elder said was ripe, what was going on, Qin Feng was confused at all.
That time, Qin Feng felt that his mind was blank, and when his mother and the Ling clan elder left in the end, Qin Feng himself didn't fully pay attention to it.
......
Qin Feng stayed in the canopy of the tree for a day and a night that night, and it wasn't until the next day when it was almost dark that he slowly went home. His mother, on the other hand, was so anxious that she almost went to seek help from the old patriarch.
Qin Feng pretended to be casual and told his mother that he was delayed in his practice...
To be honest, after that incident, Qin Feng also once doubted whether his mother had a direct connection with his father's disappearance?
It's just that after a long period of observation, Qin Feng felt that he still thought too much.
The relationship between mother and father is very good. Qin Feng often observed his mother in a daze in front of his father's portrait when he got up in the morning.
Seeing Qin Feng come out, she smiled and asked Qin Feng to put a stick of incense in front of his father's portrait.
Qin Feng probably understood that even though his mother had a mysterious identity as a messenger, it didn't seem to hinder her relationship with her father, which made Qin Feng himself breathe a long sigh of relief when he came to the final conclusion. This is already the best result that Qin Feng expected...
In the days that followed, Qin Feng often thought that it might not be a simple coincidence that his mother was able to be rescued by his father.
But what kind of mysterious identity the mother has, what her mission is, and what is the purpose of coming to the Shakeba Clan, all of this is completely a mystery to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng didn't think about telling his patriarch grandfather about this matter, but after thinking about it for a long time, Qin Feng decided to keep it a secret for the time being.
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly...
It was also from that eavesdropping incident that Qin Feng's impression of the Ling clan elder also changed.
