Ling's compound

"I've seen Young Master Chen!"

As soon as Xing Chen stepped into the gate of the Ling family's compound, a middle-aged man in black in the courtyard greeted him politely.

"Xingchen has seen his predecessors!" Xingchen also responded politely when he saw the person who spoke. This black-clothed middle-aged man was one of the four great martial artist-level guards that Li Shaohong brought this time.

"Young Master Chen, our young city lord is looking for you!" The middle-aged man in black looked at Xing Chen with a little surprise, he remembered that when he just arrived at the Ling family two days ago, the Ling family, the young master of waste materials that made Li Shaohong look at him differently, was not a third-order martial artist, and he hadn't seen it for two days, and he had already entered the first order.

"Oh! Okay, then I'll go see the young city lord! Xing Chen heard the words of the middle-aged man in black and hurriedly said.

"Brother Li, you look for me!" Xingchen came to the small courtyard where Li Shaohong lived and greeted him.

"Brother Chen, you're back, come in!" Li Shaohong's hearty voice came out of the courtyard, Li Shaohong's cultivation is excellent, and his voice always gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.

"Brother Li, I went to the Blue Demon Mountain Range for the past two days to practice, and I just came out!" Xing Chen smiled, walked into the small courtyard where Li Shaohong lived.

"You're advanced!" Li Shaohong's eyes narrowed slightly after seeing Xingchen come in, and then said, It's only been two days since Xingchen has advanced to the first order, although the martial arts stage is only the starting point of martial arts cultivation, but as long as the martial arts stage is not too poor, it is only a matter of time before the martial arts stage cultivates seriously, but even if the martial arts stage cultivation is easy, few people can advance to the first level in a few days, you must know that Xingchen was still a congenital martial arts cultivation waste with defective tendons and veins more than ten days ago.

"I went to the Blue Demon Mountain Range to experience a little bit of experience, and I was lucky to advance!" Xing Chen arched his hand and said, this is not because he is modest, but he knows that in the face of Li Shaohong, whose strength is much higher than his own, his Taoism is indeed not worth mentioning.

"Come in, big brother has something to ask you!" Li Shaohong looked at Xingchen and smiled, sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and made a pot of tea for Xingchen.

"Brother Li, if you have something, just ask!" Xingchen said with a smile.

"I heard that Qingshan Town will start an annual competition in some time, and you have already challenged the disciples of Murong Villa on behalf of the Ling family before!" Li Shaohong asked.

"Yes! Brother Li, you should have heard that my sister Ling Ziyue and brother Ling Tianqi were conspired against recently, one was seriously injured and the other was poisoned, nine times out of ten it was done by the people of Murong Villa, although I am the adopted son of my father, but Sister Ziyue and Brother Tian have treated me like a brother since I was a child, and I didn't have the ability to cultivate before, but now I have recovered my cultivation ability because of some opportunities, even if my strength is not good, I naturally have to seek justice from Murong Villa! Xing Chen said with a serious face.

"Yes, happiness and revenge are real men!" Li Shaohong said with a smile

"Qingshan Town Dabi After this auction of the Cangyan Demon Leopard, since you call me big brother, I naturally can't let you call me in vain, Qingshan Town Dabi I should also help you!" Li Shaohong flipped over his hand and took out a piece of armor that shone yellow from the storage bag.

"It's!" Xingchen looked at the armor that shone with a thick yellow halo, his eyes lit up, and he said.

"Dihuang armor, Xuan-rank low-grade armor, the defense is not bad, it can withstand the blow of the Xuan-level mid-grade weapon, I will give it to you!" Li Shaohong smiled and handed the armor to Xing Chen.

"Huh! Give it to me, Brother Li, you're too precious! Xingchen looked at this armor, but he didn't take it immediately.

"What are you polite to me, your Ling family is my ally, I am also optimistic about your potential, wait for you to become a martial arts powerhouse in the future, don't forget my big brother!" Li Shaohong looked at Xingchen and said with a smile.

Li Shaohong's eyes were vicious, he could see that Xingchen was the kind of person who was quiet but quite smart, and as the young city lord of Feiyun City, he frequently showed favor to him as a low-level martial artist, which would inevitably arouse his suspicions, but it was better to admit that this was his emotional investment.

"Brother Li, you look up to me too much!" Xingchen was stunned when he heard Li Shaohong's words and said.

"I believe in my vision, your future martial arts achievements are definitely not below me, but at the moment you still lack time to grow, with the relationship between your Ling family and Murong Villa, they will definitely kill you in the Qingshan Town Competition, as the eldest brother to give you a protective armor is also deserved, if you are embarrassed, you can borrow it from me, and in the future, you can return me a Xuan-level weapon after you become a martial arts master!" Li Shaohong smiled and said.

"Then brother, thank you, big brother! He will not forget Brother Li's kindness today! Xingchen looked at Li Shaohong's eyes, thought for a few seconds, and then bowed down and said.

The value of this armor given by Li Shaohong is quite high, and it is exactly what he needs at present, although Xuan-level weapons are rare in Qingshan Town, but they are not nothing, but according to Xingchen, the Xuan-level weapons in Qingshan Town are basically offensive weapons, and there are none of the defensive Xuan-level weapons in Qingshan Town, all because the cherishing of the materials required for the refining of defensive weapons and the difficulty of refining are far more than those of offensive weapons, and the value of a defensive armor of the lower grade of the Xuan rank is only higher than that of a medium-grade offensive weapon.

"That's right! Big brother is optimistic about your future achievements, and you will also be the big brother's emotional investment in you! Li Shaohong said with a wave of his hand, there were many bottles and jars on the stone table, and this turned out to be a batch of pills.

"This ......" Xing Chen glanced at the pills, and found that there were all kinds of pills in it, and the level was not low, there were actually four second-order pills, more than ten first-order pills, and the value was not much lower than that armor of the lower grade of the Xuan Rank.

"Don't ink, take it!" Li Shaohong smiled and said.

"Good! Thank you, Brother Li! Xingchen thought for a moment for two seconds before he agreed, and then with a wave of his hand, he put all these pills into his storage bag.

"That's right, after getting the cub of the Flame Demon Leopard, I will stay until after your Qingshan Town Dabi, I have a hunch that you will definitely have a performance that will amaze everyone!" Li Shaohong said with a smile, this time he came to Qingshan Town not only to bring four great martial artist-level followers, but he used a lot of resources for this auction, including intelligence resources.

Li Shaohong can be said to be well aware of the situation of all parties in Qingshan Town at this stage, and when he was collecting intelligence, he also collected information about Xingchen who had been low-key in the past, but in recent times, it has attracted special attention, and he has a hunch that there must be a big secret hidden behind Xingchen, or a strong person who does not belong to the Ling family, so he doesn't mind making some emotional investments in Xingchen in advance.

"Thank you Brother Li, I won't let you down!" Xing Chen looked at Li Shaohong's eyes and said, Li Shaohong's emotional investment is indeed in place, whether it is Rehmannia Armor or these pills, it can greatly improve his comprehensive strength at this stage.

"Good! I'm looking forward to it, in addition, the four great martial artists I brought with me to Qingshan Town this time are all good in cultivation, if you have any problems with cultivation, you can ask them! Li Shaohong said again.

"Thank you, Brother Li!" Xing Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"You're welcome!" Li Shaohong still said with a smile on his face.

"Brother Li, you called me over, but there are other things!" Xing Chen looked at Li Shaohong's appearance and asked again, he knew that Li Shaohong had not finished talking to him.

"Oh! Let's get down to business! Li Shaohong smiled and said.

"Please!" Xingchen knew that Li Shaohong was going to get down to business.

"Many matters of this auction have been arranged with Ling Zun, the day before the auction starts, several of my subordinate great martial artists and the strong men of the Ling family led by you Ling Zun will respectively block and intercept the foreign forces of all parties, and in order to hide people's eyes, the auction will be led by the two of us to participate in the auction respectively, I represent the Feiyun City City Lord's Mansion, and you represent the Ling family, and flexibly adapt to the situation to take down the cubs of the three Cangyan Demon Leopards!" Li Shaohong said.

"Understood! But the young city lord, the auction is about financial resources, is it useful to intercept the opponent's strong man?" Xingchen heard Li Shaohong's words, thought for a while, and said.

"Financial resources are naturally part of the competition, but Qingshan Town is my subordinate territory of Feiyun City, and your Ling family is the most powerful force in Feiyun City, and few of us can compete with us in terms of financial strength!" Li Shaohong said.

"Then why send people to block other forces!" Xing Chen asked, he really didn't pay much attention to the matter of competing for the Cangyan Demon Leopard in this auction, he felt that this kind of major event was not something that he could participate in with his current strength, but he didn't expect Li Shaohong to count him and play an important role.

"With the strength and financial resources of our two families, the odds of winning the Flame Demon Leopard cub are very high, but the three Flame Demon Leopard cubs are equivalent to three general-level warriors in the future, which is a huge temptation for many forces, and even a temptation to change the regional power pattern in the future, so even if one side forces take a picture of the three Flame Demon Leopard cubs, other forces still have a great possibility to join forces to snatch them, and even besiege and kill the forces of the Flame Demon Leopard!" Li Shaohong said.

"Brother Li, then I understand your intentions!" Xingchen nodded and said that he understood, he was a smart person, and Li Shaohong didn't need to say too much, he already knew it in his heart.

"This auction has become an anonymous auction under the influence of the Feiyun City City Lord's Mansion! On our side, you and I will lead the team to participate in the auction, and I will be responsible for auctioning the Flame Demon Leopard, and you will attract the attention of all parties for me in the early stage! After succeeding, our two masters escorted the Cangyan Demon Leopard cub out of Qingshan Town first! Li Shaohong said.

"No problem!" Xing Chen nodded, the cooperation between the Ling family and Li Shaohong is conditional in itself, what Li Shaohong said was what the Ling family should do, but he didn't expect that the candidate selected by Li Shaohong turned out to be himself.

"Brother Chen, are you curious why your brother chose you to represent the Ling family in the auction!" Li Shaohong looked at Xing Chen's expression and said again.

"Because I am the most beloved son of the Ling family patriarch, and I have been in the limelight recently, although my strength is still a little worse, but after the Ling family patriarch's pair of biological children fell, I can represent my father on some occasions! And Qingshan Town is so big, there are only a few forces with a little strength, even if everyone participates in the auction anonymously, but with the familiarity of the various forces in Qingshan Town with each other and the intelligence capabilities of all parties, it is not difficult to judge their respective identities even if they are anonymous, so I can lead the team to participate in the auction to attract the attention of all parties, and cover Brother Li to photograph the Cangyan Demon Leopard! Xingchen said with a smile.

"Brother Chen, I really didn't misunderstand the wrong person, it is not for nothing that you were able to regain your cultivation ability, and you were able to defeat Murong Fengxue of the second order of martial artists before breaking through the shackles of martial artists!" After Li Shaohong heard Xingchen's words, he glanced at Xingchen deeply, and then said meaningfully.
