Volume 1: The Rising Clouds of the Green Mountains Chapter 31: The City House

"Young City Lord, our Ling family's cooperation with you is very sincere, but your conditions are a bit too harsh!" Ling Yihai opened his mouth and said.

"I am also very sincere, and I am also very optimistic about Young Master Chen's future, so I am willing to bet on Young Master Chen, I believe that Young Master Chen will have quite amazing achievements in the future!" Li Shaohong said: "So my requirements remain the same, I am not reluctant to cooperate with the Ling family, if not, I will find another master!" ”

"Young City Lord, you are doing this for ......"

"Young City Lord!"

Ling Yun and Ling Yihai both opened their mouths, Li Shaohong's cooperation conditions for the Ling family are indeed very superior, and now no one in the Ling family can refuse, that is, the Cangyan Demon Leopard has to recognize Xingchen as the main condition, they can't accept it, after all, Xingchen's current cultivation is still low, although he is the righteous son of the patriarch, but after all, he is not a person with the blood of the Ling family, and such a clansman who does not have the blood of the Ling family has obtained a demon beast that is comparable to the combat power of a military general in the future, they really can't accept it.

"Good! I promise you! Ling Aoyun looked at Li Shaohong's eyes, and after a few seconds of silence, he said dryly.

"Patriarch!"

"Patriarch!"

Ling Yun and Ling Yihai opened their mouths to say something.

"That's it! I know what you want to say, I am the patriarch of the Ling family, and what I mean is the meaning of the entire Ling family! Ling Aoyun said directly in a tone that could not be refused, in the Ling family, Ling Aoyun had unshakable authority, he really put on a straight face, even Ling Yun did not dare to easily challenge the majesty of his patriarch.

"Patriarch Ling is refreshing!" Li Shaohong said with a smile after hearing Ling Aoyun's words.

"I hope that the young city lord will bring my Ling family more in the future!" Ling Aoyun arched his hand and said. Ling Aoyun is a person who understands, he knows what he just promised Li Shaohong, where there are people, there will be struggles, he believes that there must be people of the same level in the class where Li Shaohong is fighting with him, and he also needs a strong team to help him inherit the position of the city lord of Feiyun City in the future, and the Ling family has now become a part of his team.

The meaning expressed by Li Shaohong is obvious, if the Ling family stands in his camp, he will inherit the position of the city lord of Feiyun City in the future, and it will naturally be of great benefit to the Ling family, if the Ling family chooses to refuse, it will undoubtedly be on the opposite side of him. In Qingshan Town, his other best candidate for cooperation is Murong Villa, if Li Shaohong chooses Murong Villa as a partner, in the future, Murong Villa will borrow the power of the Feiyun City City Lord's Mansion, then the Ling family will not have a good life.

Therefore, Ling Aoyun has to agree to no matter what conditions Li Shaohong proposes, and he is not without understanding Li Shaohong's comments, the famous young man in Feiyun City is not only amazingly talented in martial arts, gentle in personality, not arrogant or impatient, very polite in dealing with people, and never has any bad comments, and at the same time, he is also the future young city lord of Feiyun City, the Ling family stands under Li Shaohong's command, and may really have a chance to dominate Qingshan Town in the future. As for these small requirements for the Cangyan Demon Leopard to recognize Xingchen as the master, in Ling Aoyun's opinion, this was a completely negligible small condition, regardless of whether Xingchen was a son with his bloodline.

As for Ling Yun and Ling Yihai's thoughts that they would speak out against it, he also knew in his heart that the young demon beast could only recognize the master and grow up with the master since he was a child with the young martial arts cultivation talent who was extremely talented, so that the demon beast could have a better fit with the master, and the two would be able to exert the strongest combat effectiveness in the future.

The most talented among the younger generation of the Ling family are naturally Ling Ziyue and Ling Tianqi, if the two of them are not plotted, the most suitable owner of the Cangyan Demon Leopard cub will naturally be chosen from the two of them, and now that the two have fallen, the Cangyan Demon Leopard cub chooses the master among the entire Ling family, and the most suitable is Ling Yun or Ling Yihai's juniors, after all, in the Ling family, apart from Ling Aoyun, they belong to the two of them with the highest status, and they each have extremely talented juniors under their knees, but Li Shaohong's request obviously disrupted their plans a little.

"Patriarch Ling is polite, this matter is settled, we will be our own family in the future!" Li Shaohong is still the only courtesy that only a junior has, and he does not have the slightest shelf of the young city lord of Feiyun City.

"Chen'er, I haven't thanked the young city lord yet!" Ling Aoyun said in a deep voice to Xingchen again, no matter what Li Shaohong's purpose was when he pointed out that the Cangyan Demon Leopard had to recognize Xingchen as the master, but this was definitely a considerable creation for Xingchen.

"Xingchen thanked the young city lord!" Seeing this, Xingchen also bowed his hand and said respectfully.

"Young Master Chen said this, and he saw the outside! It's all a family in the future, I'm a few years older than you, if you don't mind, just call me big brother in the future! Li Shaohong still said with a gentle smile.

"Xingchen has seen Brother Li!" Xing Chen hesitated for a moment and then said, no matter what purpose Li Shaohong deliberately gave him preferential treatment, but his strength is still very low now, and it is indeed a good thing for him to have a young city lord of Feiyun City as his eldest brother.

"Haha! Brother Chen, if someone bullies you in the realm of Feiyun City in the future, you can just report my name and use my token! Li Shaohong was obviously very happy after hearing Xingchen's words, and then turned over and took out a token and handed it to Xingchen.

"Thank you, Big Brother Li!" Xing Chen took the token and said respectfully, he was also a little unpredictable Li Shaohong's intentions at this time, but according to the current situation, this was not a bad thing for himself.

"Our two brothers are still talking about this!" Li Shaohong smiled.

"Then Patriarch Ling, our cooperation is so decided, I will send my subordinates to the Ling family later, and my subordinate intelligence personnel will also dock with the Ling family as soon as possible to formulate the next specific action plan!" Li Shaohong said.

"No problem! I'll get it as soon as possible! Ling Aoyun nodded and said that there was no objection.

"In addition, my people and I will settle down in Qingshan Town in the next few days, Uncle Ling doesn't mind if I stay in the Ling family for a few days!" Li Shaohong still said with a smile, and at the same time still did the courtesy of a junior, and even changed his mouth to call Ling Aoyun his uncle.

"That's nature! I'll arrange accommodation for the young city lord right away! Ling Aoyun nodded and immediately said, now that the Ling family is in an eventful time, if Li Shaohong, the big Buddha, and the four great martial artists under him can be temporarily stationed in the Ling family, this will naturally be beneficial to the Ling family.

"Second brother, please arrange accommodation for the young city lord and his entourage!" Ling Aoyun said to Ling Yihai.

"Good! Young City Lord, wait a moment! Ling Yihai also smiled at Li Shaohong and said.

"Then bother Second Uncle Ling!" Li Shaohong also said.

……

Xingchen and Li Shaohong briefly took a face-to-face, he said goodbye to everyone and returned to his small courtyard, Xingchen He still doesn't know the purpose of Li Shaohong having such a special attitude towards him, but he knows that Li Shaohong's arrival is not a bad thing for him for the time being, and the time of Qingshan Town Dabi is getting closer and closer, and he must find a way to improve his strength as much as possible.

After Xingchen returned to the small courtyard, he took out a black suit from his inner room, and then took out a jade box, and after opening it, there were a large number of bottles and jars, pouring out all kinds of pasty liquid in it and stirring it and rubbing it on his face, but in more than ten minutes, Xingchen's original face changed a little.

"The disguise technique has not regressed!" Xingchen looked at his face at this time in front of the bronze mirror and nodded, at this time, Xingchen in front of the bronze mirror had completely changed his face, and the originally fair and delicate face plate had become a dark-skinned and somewhat wooden teenager, unless someone like Yan Xue'er was extremely familiar with him, ordinary people really couldn't recognize him.

The pasty liquid that Xing Chen had just smeared on his face was a special disguise drug that he had prepared himself, which was a drug that he had prepared based on the experience of his previous life and combined with the research on the Firmament Continent medicine in this life, and this medicine could adjust the contours of the face after being applied to his face, and it was difficult to wash off the disguised outfit unless it was washed with a potion he had prepared himself.

"Recently, martial arts cultivation has made breakthroughs one after another, and it has always been sparring with the clansmen and elders in the family, most of them are afraid of their patriarch's identity as the righteous son, and if they want to improve their actual combat ability, they have to go through a real crisis and tempering!" Xing Chen looked at himself in the bronze mirror and said secretly in his heart, he knew that the real fighting skills were not the kind that could be practiced in the martial arts arena.

"It's time to go to the Green Demon Mountain Range to have some training!" Xingchen took a long knife of the lower grade of the yellow rank in the room and put it on his back, and at this time, Xingchen was dressed like the adventurers that could be seen everywhere in Qingshan Town.

After Xingchen cleaned up his image, he immediately did not alarm anyone in the Ling family, and left the Ling family along the small gate of the Ling family's compound.

"Mercenary Guild!" After Xing Chen left Ling's house, he walked along the trade street of Qingshan Town to a huge and imposing building at the end of the street, and stopped, he raised his head and looked at the four magnificent characters of the mercenary union, and the pictures flashed in his mind.

That's right! In the Firmament Continent where Xingchen is located in this life, there is also the profession of mercenary, and it is also a profession that spreads throughout the continent, the Firmament Continent is a world where martial arts are respected, where everyone cultivates martial arts, and martial arts cultivation often requires a large number of cultivation resources, and these cultivation resources are often natural treasures, demon beast guts, furs, etc., it is often not easy to obtain these resources, some scarce resources are often distributed all over the continent, even if you cultivate to a high level, you can't collect these resources all over the continent, Therefore, the profession of mercenary came into being.

In the early days, the task of the mercenaries in the Firmament Continent was actually very simple, that is, to receive remuneration to complete the specified material collection tasks for the employer, and in the later period, there were more evolutions, such as treasure hunting, guarding, assassination and other more forms of tasks, and finally the mercenary union was derived and developed, a huge and mysterious organization all over the Firmament Continent.
