Chapter 148: Escalation
Everyone was looking at Ling Xi who slowly came out of the barrier of the Spirit Tower, although they knew that Ling Xi was a powerful helper invited by the Zhang family this year, but they didn't even know what Ling Xi looked like, and even Ling Xi's name was only known after many inquiries, it can be said that except for the people of the Zhang family in Yancheng, everyone else's understanding of Ling Xi only stayed on Ling Xi's name, and now they can see what Ling Xi looks like, most people's curiosity has reached its peak at this moment, what is the difference between the peerless Tianjiao invited by the Zhang family.
As Ling Xi's appearance became clearer and clearer, the people of Yancheng finally saw Ling Xi's appearance clearly, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, and he looked a little handsome, but he looked a little thin and weak, and he didn't look as strong as others, but people can't be good-looking, this young man who didn't look very strong made all the leaders in Yancheng clear, and even the helpers invited by the Ning family from the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce were a little bleak compared to them, making people dare not question the strength of their talents.
"It's not what I imagined, I'm a little thinner. ”
"It's a little handsome, but I don't know if there's anyone I like. ”
"Just the way you look, forget it. ”
After Ling Xi came out of the Spirit Tower, the crowd that had been waiting outside the tower for a long time immediately boiled, and they began to talk about Ling Xi, some of the older generation of strength were talking about Ling Xi's talent, and the girl who was in the flower season not only paid attention to Ling Xi's strength, but also Ling Xi's handsome appearance, Junyi's appearance really added a lot of points to Ling Xi, attracting the attention and favor of many girls in Yancheng.
Ling Xi stood in front of the Spirit Tower, he naturally felt that everyone's eyes were focused on him, but he didn't care about those eyes mixed with different meanings, his attention was focused on the Ning family's side, he knew very well in his heart that he almost abolished Ning Shan, the Ning family would not be able to let him go easily, not to mention that he was still holding a peerless treasure that the Ning family had been thinking about for many years, so he must be fighting with the people of the Ning family today.
Sure enough, not long after Ling Xi came out of the Spirit Tower, the Ning family, who had been very quiet, suddenly moved, and Ning Xiao, the head of the Ning family, stood up from the chair, looked at Ling Xi and said coldly:
"The Zhang family's so-called powerful helper is nothing more than that, I thought you would keep cowering in the spirit tower. ”
Ling Xi looked at Ning Xiao and laughed lightly, he knew that Ning Xiao was going to start looking for trouble with him, but there was no panic on his face, and he said slowly:
"The seniors are the heads of the Ning family, right? The seniors have heard of the names of the seniors for a long time, but they can't imagine that the seniors still know the juniors, and the juniors are really flattered. ”
Ning Xiao glanced at Ling Xi coldly, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and said lightly:
"How could I not know you? You are so bold as to hurt my son. ”
Really!
Ling Xi's expression was dazed, he was ready to go out of the tower to face the anger of the Ning family when he was about to abolish Ning Shan on the fifth floor of the Spirit Tower, so he was not surprised at all that Ning Xiao wanted to trouble him, and then Ning Xiao was bound to pull the dragon flute, and then hand over the dragon flute, which made him suddenly alert, although he had the destruction yuan as a hole card, and he was not afraid of Ning Xiao, but Ning Xiao was also a quasi-great Venerable, and his spiritual power was naturally not weak, and it was always right for him to be careful.
"The head of the Ning family is wrong in what he said, in the spirit tower, he is based on his own ability, Young Master Ning's own skills are inferior to others and lost to Ling Xi, and now the head of the Ning family has come to stand up for Young Master Ning, isn't it too ungraceful?"
When Ling Xi was about to speak, a hearty laugh suddenly sounded behind him, the person who spoke was naturally Zhang Jiecheng, Zhang Jiecheng had already decided to protect Ling Xi to the end, and naturally he would not let Ning Xiao embarrass him, so he also stood up as soon as possible.
Although Ning Xiao had expected that Zhang Jiecheng would intervene, his face was still a little ugly, and he said coldly:
"I admit that my son's skills are not as good as others, but your Zhang family's helper is inevitably too unreasonable, and he almost abolished my son, you say, who should I find to settle this account?"
After speaking, Ning Xiao looked at Ling Xi, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes, his attitude was already obvious, he would not be easy to be kind to Ling Xi, now it only depends on what kind of attitude Zhang Jiecheng is.
Zhang Jiecheng naturally wanted to protect Ling Xi to the end, even if he wanted to start a war with the Ning family in the end, he still had this attitude, he saw a trace of killing intent flashing in Ning Xiao's eyes, so he immediately stood in front of Ling Xi to prevent Ning Xiao from suddenly killing Ling Xi.
Afterwards, Zhang Jiecheng smiled and said:
"Ling Xi is a helper invited by my Zhang family, the young man is not serious, and the head of the Ning family must not be a person who cares about children, so let's do it, I apologize to Young Master Ning on his behalf, and the treatment of Young Master Ning is also borne by my Zhang family, Master Ning, what do you think?"
It was still Zhang Jiecheng who made concessions first, although he did not hesitate to go to war with the Ning family to protect Ling Xi and be thoughtful, but their Zhang family was always weaker than the Ning family, and the Zhang family won more and lost less when it started, so it was the best result for this matter to be turned into a big thing and a small matter, and he didn't want to see the war happen.
But Ning Xiao didn't think so, his ultimate goal was the dragon flute in Ling Xi's hand, he would never give up until he got the dragon flute, naturally he would not let Ling Xi go along with Zhang Jiecheng's concessions, he sneered:
"Your Zhang family can't help but think too simply, just heal my son? You don't want to think about what kind of pain my son endured at that time, how can you bring it with a word of compensation?"
Ling Xi knew what Ning Xiao was thinking, he stood up and said with a smile:
"What does the head of the Yining family mean, is it for me to also experience the pain that Young Master Ning has endured?"
Ning Xiao glanced at Ling Xi and said slowly:
"I'm not the kind of narrow-minded person either, when you come to Yancheng, our Ning family naturally can't lose the demeanor of Yancheng, so let's do it, our Ning family is willing to reconcile with you, but the premise is that you must hand over the dragon flute. ”
As soon as Ning Xiao's words came out, the crowd of onlookers immediately began to talk in a low voice, Ning Xiao went around in such a big circle, it turned out that it was still for the peerless treasure on the ninth floor of the Spirit Tower, even if Ling Xi really got the peerless treasure, but the Zhang family would definitely not let the peerless treasure fall into the hands of the Ning family easily, it seemed that the war between the two Zhang Ning families was inevitable.
"Humph!"
Zhang Jiecheng couldn't help but sneer, he had long known that Ning Xiao's purpose was to call the dragon flute, and now he didn't confirm that the dragon flute was not on Ling Xi, Ning Xiao was killed with a stick, which shows how eager Ning Xiao is for the dragon flute, even if the dragon flute is really on Ling Xi, he will not easily let the dragon flute fall into Ning Xiao's hands, if the dragon flute falls into the hands of the Ning family, then their Zhang family will be completely suppressed, so it is better to simply start a war with the Ning family, so the Zhang family must protect Ling Xi thoroughly, but also not let the dragon flute set in the hands of the Ning family。
Ling Xi
"The dragon flute is indeed on me, but this is what I have worked hard for, just a few words from the head of the Ning family is like taking it, is the head of the Ning family also thinking too simply?"
Ning Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone suddenly rose again, and said:
"What? Do you still want to put forward conditions to me in turn? Do you think that with the Zhang family supporting you in the back, you can despise my Ning family? I'm afraid that the Ning family won't be able to protect you in the end, you have to think clearly. ”
Zhang Jiecheng immediately said coldly:
"It doesn't matter if you can protect it, our Zhang family only counts if you say it, even if your Ning family wants to go to war, our Zhang family will accompany you to the end. ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd of onlookers became even more boiling, and they didn't expect Zhang Jiecheng's attitude to be so tough, and he was the first to say that he wanted to start a war with the Ning family, after all, most of the friction between the two Zhang Ning families ended with the Zhang family regressing, and it was the first time the Zhang family was so tough, but this was not surprising, because judging from the current situation, the Zhang family had to be tough in the end.
"Does the head of the Zhang family mean that he wants to start a war with my Ning family?"
As he spoke, Ning Xiao's momentum rose sharply, and his wave-like spiritual power swept out, and the strength of the Quasi-Great Venerable was completely revealed at this moment.
Zhang Jiecheng was also not to be outdone, a blue light flashed in his eyes, and the momentum around him increased, his strength was weaker than Ning Xiao, it was a four-pattern small Fanzun, but it was not far from the quasi-great Fanzun, so he was not necessarily inferior to Ning Xiao.
At this moment, the situation suddenly became tense, and the war between the two families of Zhang Ning seemed to be possible at any time, as long as the two families took the initiative, it would mean that the war between the two families of Zhang Ning had begun, and all this was completely because of a young man, that is, Ling Xi.
Of course, Ling Xi didn't want to see a war between the two Zhang Ning families, it was not good for the Zhang family, and the Zhang family might eventually withdraw from the stage of Yancheng from now on, in the final analysis, this conflict was also caused by him, so he immediately said when the situation was tense:
"Master of the Ning family, don't you just want to call the dragon flute, why are you so nervous, I don't think the Ning family wants to see the war happen, right?"
After Ling Xi spoke, Zhang Jiecheng and Ning Xiao both retracted the momentum on their bodies, Ning Xiao glanced at Ling Xi coldly, and said lightly:
"Do you mean you're going to hand over the dragon flute?"
Of course, Ning Xiao didn't want to start a war with the Zhang family, but if he couldn't get the dragon flute, he could only let the Ning family and the Zhang family go to war.
Ling Xi chuckled and said:
"It's okay if you want me to hand over the dragon flute, but I can't hand it over so easily, so let's do it, it's better for the Ning family master to have a gambling fight, if I win, then my grievances with the Ning family will be written off, if I lose, not only will I hand over the dragon flute, but I will also be at the disposal of the Ning family master, so it should always be in line with the Ning family master's wishes, right?"
As soon as Ling Xi finished speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Ling Xi with disbelief on their faces, as if they were wondering if they had misheard what Ling Xi said, but they knew that they had not heard it wrong, and at this time they had only one thought in their hearts: This kid's brain was kicked by a donkey?
