A trace of anger slowly rose in Ling Zhenyun's heart, what he said was not unreasonable, as the head of the family, what he considered was the interests of the family and the future of the family, although this probability was very small, very small, but after all, it existed, in case the ancestor had something to do with three longs and two shortcomings, it would inevitably cause some ill-intentioned people to attack the Ling family's idea.

Therefore, Ling Zhenyun is unwilling to take this risk, and he does not catch a cold, he wants to put an end to all the dangers that threaten the Ling family, and besides, the death or life of the prince does not matter what happens to the Ling family, so there is no need to take this risk again.

Ling Zhenyun's stern refusal directly made Li Youxuan's face slightly pale, she groaned for a while, in the depths of those beautiful eyes, there was also a touch of cold light slowly surging, and then said lightly: "Ling family master, you can't help but worry too much, even if you are feeling promoted, just call a few words softly on the side, and not forcibly let the other party stop, it will not be affected at all, for example, when we are promoted, we hear the soft call next to us, at most we just ignore it." ”

Ling Zhenyun was expressionless and said: "County Lord Li, maybe you will say that I am selfish, but I am carrying the entire Ling family behind me, not alone, any decision is related to the future development of the family, if you stand in my position, your royal ancestor is in retreat, and the crown princes of other countries are attacked, what will you do?"

Li Youxuan lowered his head slightly, his face became more and more gloomy, his jade hands were tightly intertwined, and he was silent.

The silence at this time represents acquiescence, and obviously, Li Youxuan will not do that.

Ling Zhenyun continued, "Why is it that the Qi Gathering Layer and the Yuan Dan Realm are rarely retreated. Because you don't need to, you can advance directly in the room. Even if you are disturbed a little, it is not a big deal. But those who are strong are different, their retreat places are generally chosen in secret rooms or more secret places, not just to walk to the side and whisper a few words, but to open the door of the secret room, this kind of movement is not as simple as a few whispers. ”

"What would they think if the door to the secret room was suddenly opened at the critical moment of promotion? The ancestor must come forward in person, even if they know that at the critical juncture of the promotion, can they still settle down and continue? Considering this, we will not disturb the ancestor, you still have to find another person, once the ancestor is out of the customs, we will inform you as soon as possible. ”

Fingers gently rubbed his slightly frowning brow, Lu Yu coughed lightly twice, and immediately attracted the attention of several people. At this time, he had to come forward to solve the siege, if he let Ling Zhenyun continue to talk, today's matter would definitely be no fun. He immediately smiled and said, "Master Ling, this is a bad word, but unfortunately it ignores a situation. ”

The three of them looked at Lu Yu slightly stunned at the same time. Ling Zhenyun smiled faintly and asked with interest, "Oh." Which is it?"

Lu Yu's face turned a little solemn, and he said seriously: "As the ancestor of the century-old family. The strength is definitely extraordinary, and the perception is far beyond ordinary people, I don't know if the Ling family master agrees with this. ”

Ling Zhenyun nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "That's natural, the stronger the strength, the stronger the perception, but your words of praise can't make me ask the ancestor to do alchemy for you." ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "May I ask the Ling family master, how far can Ling Zu sense during the retreat?"

Ling Zhenyun frowned slightly, and said with displeasure on his face: "What are you asking these for?"

Lu Yu smiled and said: "I believe in this kind of thing, just like a person, you see him very pleasing to the eye, even if he doesn't give you any remuneration, you are still willing to help him alchemy, on the contrary, a person, you hate him very much, even if he offers double the price, you will refuse, Ling family master, have you ever encountered this situation?"

Ling Zhenyun said lightly: "This is just human nature, everyone will encounter it." ”

Lu Yu said: "Yes, it's human nature, I like to call these fate, why don't we bet on fate, it can not affect Ling Zu's retreat, but also convince the county lord, and at the same time it will not embarrass the Ling family master, how about it?"

Ling Zhenyun was slightly frightened, and said with a solemn expression: "What kind of gambling method?"

Although Ling Zhenyun has a legitimate reason for refusing Li Youxuan, after all, it is related to the safety of the prince, in case the prince dies, it will directly lead to a very stiff relationship between them and the royal family, and it will be extremely unfavorable to the development of the Ling family in the future.

Lu Yu said: "The Ling family master hasn't answered yet, how far can Ling Zu sense during the retreat?"

Ling Zhenyun hesitated for a while, and said slowly: "I can't say for sure, it's possible to say as little as a dozen zhang, or as much as hundreds of zhang." ”

Lu Yu said: "In order not to affect Ling Zu's retreat, we will be in the range of twenty zhang, standing quietly for a while, presumably Ling Zu can feel our existence, if we have fate, we don't need to say anything, he will take the initiative to show up, if there is no fate, even if we kneel on the ground, crying dad and calling mother, Ling Zu will not show up, what do you think?"

Ling Zhenyun was stunned, leaned back, slowly leaned back in the chair, and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good way, since the bet, there must be a certain amount of time, how long do we have to take?"

Lu Yu thought for a while and said seriously: "Considering such a situation, Ling Zu sensed our existence, but just when he was advancing to the senses, he couldn't show up to meet each other, so we limited it to half a day, how about it?"

Ling Zhenyun pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, I'll bet with you, if the time comes, the ancestor does not show up, you will leave the Ling family and no longer embarrass us, if the ancestor appears, as for whether he will help you refine the pill, it depends on the ancestor's wishes." ”

Lu Yu said, "Of course, Master Ling, when will we start?"

Ling Zhenyun put his hands on the armrests, just wanted to stand up, but suddenly thought of something, a trace of coldness suddenly flashed in his eyes, looked at Lu Yu, and said coldly: "Within the range of twenty zhang, you are not allowed to make loud noises, if you dare to violate the rules, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Lu Yu also looked at Ling Zhenyun and said seriously: "Master Ling, I swear to you in the name of the royal family, we will definitely abide by the rules of the gambling contract. ”

Li Youxuan looked at Lu Yu, who was full of confidence, and was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't say anything, because except for his unrealistic bet, even if the relationship between the two families was stiff, Ling Zhenyun would not invite the ancestor to make alchemy for them.

Ling Yu also looked at Lu Yu quietly from the side, but his eyes were full of contempt and disdain, thinking that even if the Ancestor sensed your existence, he would only disdain you, and he still wanted the Ancestor to take the initiative to appear, which was simply a fantasy.

Hearing Lu Yu's oath, Ling Zhenyun also relieved himself, and then stood up, and said in a flat voice: "Come with me." ”

How could Ling Zhenyun know what he was thinking, if the Ling family ancestor didn't come out by then, Lu Yu really wanted to make a big fuss here, although he swore in the name of the royal family, even if the royal name was damaged, it didn't matter to him, besides, who could take the royal family?

Unhurriedly following behind Ling Zhenyun, passing through several luxurious compounds, Lu Yu's eyes kept sweeping over this luxurious mansion, and he was surprised to find that the buildings here were much more magnificent than those on both sides of the avenue.

There are four guard handles at the entrance of each courtyard, and around it, there is an extremely strong fluctuation of Yuan force, and the cultivation is probably in the middle of the Yuan Dan Realm, and its severity is much stronger than that of the Huangpu family and the Weilong Yun Mansion, and it is worthy of being the first pill family of the Fengyun Country that has been inherited for a hundred years, and this kind of defense is really breathtaking.

After a while, a few people passed through a courtyard where more than a dozen masters guarded the handle, and finally came to the door of a relatively remote house, without careful observation, it was really difficult to find, although the house was remote, but into the inside, the courtyard was extremely spacious, probably because there were no flowers and trees, but it looked exceptionally clean.

In the distance, there is a row of tall courtyard walls, and under closer inspection, the courtyard walls are covered with dense tiny needles, which are dark black, and obviously, they contain highly poisonous, which shows the strength of the defense.

Ling Zhenyun stopped within twenty zhang of the house, turned around slowly, looked at Lu Yu and the others, and said in a low voice, "Let's wait here." (To be continued......)
