Chapter 14: Elopement
Wan Li nodded, "It's indeed that inconspicuous guy, but his performance has been a bit unexpected recently." First of all, he was very close to Ji Lingshan, the eldest lady of the Ji family, and a few days ago, he beat Wang Chujun to a serious injury with a punch outside the door of our Wanque Tower. ”
Wan Youcai nodded lightly when he heard Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan approaching very closely. When he heard that Ling Zixuan had injured Wang Chujun with a punch, his face obviously changed, and he looked up at Wan Li.
Wan Li knew that his father didn't believe it, so he immediately explained: "The child and Wan Yuan are both at the scene, and this is true." I think Ling Zixuan should have an adventure, judging from his performance that day, his martial arts strength should have reached the peak of his internal strength, and he is even more powerful than Jiang Zilong. ”
Wan Youcai frowned, he could be said to have a wealth of information sources in the entire East China Sea City, but he hadn't heard that anyone had taken Ling Zixuan as an apprentice, unless?
"Go and inquire about the news from Ji Lao's side, will it be because of the relationship between Ling Zixuan and Ji Lingshan, Ji Lao taught martial arts to Ling Zixuan, if this is the case, it is not a good thing for us Wanque Lou."
After Wan Li answered, he immediately left his father's study. And the exquisite "Ling Family Shop Membership Card" that kept reversing in Wan Youcai's hand, I don't know what I was thinking in my heart.
Ling family, today her mother Mu Wenying and the cook at home made a big table full of sumptuous dinners, she has not seen her husband Ling Buyi so happy for a long time. The sales amount of the Ling family's shop reached an astonishing seven million taels of silver in one day, which was 300,000 taels more than the money earned last year, which was incredible.
Ling Zixuan also felt that he had underestimated the influence of the Restoration Pill, and he had already raised the threshold of senior members a little higher when he knew it. Looking at his father's mouth that had been smiling all day, Ling Zixuan finally felt a little comforted. In this life, he can make his parents feel at ease, happy, and live happily, which is his filial piety as a son.
"Zixuan, Ziping came to report to me just now, there are already more than seventy people who have reached senior membership, so how do you distribute your ten Restoration Pills? If you don't buy it, will people come to the shop to make trouble? Ling Buyi was obviously not carried away by the sudden happiness, and the sharpness and prudence of a mature businessman were fully reflected.
"Father, don't worry, we always said that there was a chance to get it, but we didn't say that it was guaranteed to be obtained. Therefore, as long as they are senior members of the Ling family's shop on the same day, they can participate in the auction of the Restoration Pill, but at most one person can only buy one. Also, I've actually gotten quite a few recovery pills, and even other pills. When the Restoration Pill is auctioned next month, I will announce the hot news at the same time, and when the time comes, you can sit and collect the money. Ling Zixuan explained as he stuffed the food into his mouth.
Ling Buyi was still about to ask, but was directly interrupted by his wife Mu Wenying, "Have a meal, why do you talk so much." Believe in your son and eat first. ”
Ling Buyi ate obediently in an instant, this famous wife in Donghai City is strict, and she has always obeyed her wife, and she is obedient to her wife. Ling Buxuan snickered on the side, he liked the warmth of this kind of home.
After eating, Ling Zixuan took care of his father's purchase matters and came to the mountaintop courtyard alone, and now he was used to coming to the courtyard at night to meditate and cultivate the God King Decision. After all, the aura here is the most vigorous place in the entire East China Sea City, so you can't waste such a great cultivation time.
A few days ago, after a few competitions between him and Wang Chujun, he broke through to the late stage of the Qi Cultivation Realm in the Peak Courtyard, and now he is ready to improve himself to the perfection of the Qi Cultivation Realm before going to the "Soul Valley", so that he will have a greater grasp of subduing the demon beasts. Moreover, he also used his spiritual power to make a few runes, which can also play a role at critical times.
After all, in the Northern Regions, when it comes to the way of runes, no one doesn't know Ah Zi, the rune master under Ling Zixuan's seat. And Ah Zi's rune path was enlightened by Ling Zixuan, but after that, Ling Zixuan concentrated on cultivation and simplified the complex. After passing on the Dao of Runes, Array Dao, Dan Dao, and Instrument Dao to his disciples, he no longer bothered to study them.
Not long after he meditated, a familiar footstep sounded, mixed with a familiar fragrance, and he knew that Ji Lingshan was coming. Seeing Ji Lingshan's unhappy face, Ling Zixuan asked with a smile, "Who bullied my Lingshan?" What a look of displeasure. ”
"Hmph,." Ji Lingshan sat directly beside Ling Zixuan, put her head on her knees, and quietly looked at Donghai City in the distance.
Ling Zixuan saw that she was in a bad mood, so he didn't continue to tease him, and accompanied her to look at the scenery in the distance.
"When are you going to the Valley of the Souls?" Ji Lingshan asked softly.
"The day after tomorrow, I took care of everything in the shop at home today, and after a little adjustment in the past two days, I will leave early the day after tomorrow."
"I want to go with you, can I? Will it drag you down? Ji Lingshan suddenly looked at Ling Zixuan.
Looking at Ji Lingshan's two big black eyes, Ling Zixuan suddenly felt as if she was full of anticipation. Although I know that there will be a lot of trouble and even difficulty with Ji Lingshan. But Ling Zixuan still smiled and nodded, "If you want to see it, it's not impossible, but you have to be obedient." ”
Ji Lingshan nodded, and then didn't answer Ling Zixuan, still quietly looking into the distance.
Today's Ji Lingshan is different, obviously has something on her mind, but since she didn't take the initiative to say, Ling Zixuan didn't ask. Another hour passed, and Ji Lingshan still had no intention of going back.
"What, tonight, the little daughter-in-law is going to spend the night with my master? Aren't you afraid that your grandfather will come and beat me? Ling Zixuan said jokingly.
Ji Lingshan suddenly stood up very reluctantly, and without greeting Ling Zixuan, she silently left the mountaintop courtyard alone. Ling Zixuan suddenly felt that he had lost his direction all of a sudden, what the hell is going on with this woman today? Ling Zixuan didn't like this feeling of being out of control and having no bottom in his heart. He thought about it for a while and decided to go to Ji Mansion to see what happened to Ji Lingshan.
He followed Ji Lingshan back to Ji Mansion, and in order not to attract Ji Lingshan's attention, he sneaked into Ji Mansion over the wall. followed Ji Lingshan to the hall, and Ji Fusu and the other two people were chatting in the hall at this time. Sitting on Ji Fuxing's left hand seat was a young man wearing a Lou Jin embroidered robe and a folding fan, while sitting on the left of the young man was a middle-aged man dressed in official uniform.
Seeing Ji Lingshan come back, Ji Lao hadn't greeted him, but the young man stood up excitedly and greeted Ji Lingshan: "Sister Lingshan, are you back?" ”
Ji Lingshan didn't look at him, and said to Ji Lao: "Grandpa, I'm tired, go and rest." ”
Ji Lao frowned slightly, but he didn't speak, and nodded gently.
After Ji Lingshan was slightly blessed, she left the hall and went back to her boudoir, without even looking at the young man from the beginning to the end.
The young man's face was disappointed, and even the corners of his eyebrows were a little wrinkled, but he quickly regained his smile and said to Ji Lao: "Sister Lingshan still doesn't seem to welcome me." Otherwise, I will go back to Linjiang City tomorrow and stop bothering Ji Lao. ”
Ji Lao said with a smile, "It's rare for the prince to come to Donghai City, if you are let go back to Linjiang City like this, then I won't be able to explain to King Lin'an." Otherwise, I'll ask Ling Shan to accompany you around tomorrow, and then you go back after shopping, and I'll explain to the prince. ”
After listening to Ji Lao's words, Shizi's face improved significantly, and he hurriedly thanked him, and then after saying a few more words, he and the middle-aged man next to him went back to the guest room to rest.
At this time, Ling Zixuan knew that Ling Zixuan was unhappy because there was a man who pursued her at home, and it was obvious that Ling Shan was not interested in this person at all, and looking at Ji Lao meant to match the two. Ling Zixuan shook his head, left the hall with a smile, and secretly came to Ji Lingshan's boudoir.
Ji Lingshan was sitting on the edge of the bed with an unhappy face at this time, and was just told by the maid that tomorrow her grandfather asked her to accompany Zhao Qifeng, the son of King Lin'an, to visit Donghai City, and she was disgusted when she saw Zhao Qifeng, who was oily and powdery. Because she had long heard that Zhao Qifeng was suave and liked to dip flowers and twist grass, how could she be willing to marry such a gentleman. Thinking of the doll family affair set by her father, she was annoyed.
"Daddy doesn't know how to think of it, but he still wants to marry me to this scumbag, hum! I will not marry even if I die. Muttering in his mouth, his white and tender little hands kept pinching the bead curtain beside the bed. When I pinched it, I found that there was a hot thing that I had pinched.
She turned her head strangely to look at her little hand, and at some point, she grabbed a thick palm in her hand, which frightened her and jumped up directly. As soon as he wanted to shout, he saw a familiar face appear in front of him.
"Ling Zixuan, you are going to die, you dare to come to my room!" As soon as Ji Lingshan saw that it was Ling Zixuan, she directly punched and hit it, scolding while beating.
Ling Zixuan didn't fight back, "Hit a few more times, and you'll be happier if you vent." ”
Listening to Ling Zixuan's words, Ji Lingshan was stunned for a moment, and then felt a warmth in her heart. She knew that Ling Zixuan should be worried about her, so she secretly followed her to Ji Mansion, but after all, she was still a big girl with yellow flowers, and she was brought into the room by a man, so how could she see people. Thinking of this, Ji Lingshan's face instantly turned red like a fire.
"If you don't come with me to the Soul Leaving Valley now, don't worry, I'll protect you. When you come back, you will be scolded by your grandfather at most, and it will be fine, so let him go. Ling Zixuan said with a smile.
"You, how do you know that?" Ji Lingshan looked at Ling Zixuan with wide eyes.
"Well, I heard their conversation just now, whether you can leave or not, you should give a word."
Looking at Ling Zixuan's firm and confident eyes, Ji Lingshan didn't have the courage to refuse, nodded lightly, sorted out the softness, and escaped directly from Ji Mansion with Ling Zixuan. The two of them did not return to the courtyard at the top of the mountain, and went directly in the direction of the Valley of the Soul.
Early the next morning, Ji Lao was taken aback when he was told that the eldest lady was missing, and then immediately sent people to look for him everywhere, and the entire Ji family was in chaos. The prince saw the chaotic situation of the Ji family, and Ji Lingshan suddenly disappeared, and he didn't want to be bored, so he left the Ji Mansion with someone directly, and politely said to Ji Lao that he would also ask his father to help inquire about Ji Lingshan's whereabouts, and if there was any news, he would notify Ji Lao as soon as possible.
How could Ji Lao have the heart to pay attention to him, now his mind is full of where Ji Lingshan went? Will it be captured by the enemy? After sending off the son, Ji Lao fidgeted and returned to his study, tremblingly picked up the teacup that he hadn't drunk for a day, and suddenly saw a note pressed under the teacup.
"Ling Shan and I went to do something together, because I was afraid that you would object, so I cut it first and then played. Rest assured, I will keep her safe. Ling Zixuan"
Looking at the crooked and ugly handwriting, Ji Lao scolded directly: "Stinky boy, you kidnapped my granddaughter away." Although he scolded Ling Zixuan for not being a thing, he was a little happy in his heart. If Ling Zixuan could treat his granddaughter sincerely, it would not be a beautiful thing. Although Ling Zixuan is just the eldest young master of the Ling family's shop on the outside, Ji Lao knows that this son is not a thing in the pool, but a dragon and a phoenix among people!
Ji Lao smiled and tore off the note in his hand, and took a sip of tea in the cup with peace of mind!
