The council hall is located in the most central location of the Ling family's residence, and it is also the most important place in the entire Ling family. On weekdays, twenty-four hours a day, there are at least ten or more young disciples of the Ling family, led by an elder of the Ling family, who are responsible for guarding the safety of the council hall and strictly prohibiting anyone from approaching.

As Great Elder Ling Tianjin went all the way to the council hall, Ling Yun also came to the Ling family's council hall for the first time. From a distance, the whole council hall is a single building, about three stories high, an octagonal small building, with staggered eaves, which looks very imposing. The vertical plaque on the gate on the first floor has the words "Council Hall" written on it, which looks like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, so not magnificent. In front of the council hall, a yin-yang fish gossip was lying quietly on the ground, with a blue glow all over his body, so that Ling Yun couldn't see what kind of material it was made of.

Ling Yun noticed that it might be because the council hall was going to be used today, and the ten young disciples around the council hall had already been removed at this time. And the elder who led the ten young disciples, because he was also going to the council hall to discuss matters, was estimated to have entered the council hall at this time. There was no one else in sight around the entire council hall.

Great Elder Ling Tianjin turned his head to look at Ling Yun next to him, opened his mouth and greeted, "Let's go, let's go in." Ling Yun nodded, and walked into the council hall with Ling Tianjin.

Walking into the first floor of the council hall, Ling Yun noticed that the other four elders of the Ling family had already arrived, and they were sitting around the table at this time, turning their heads to look at him.

The four elders were Ling Tianmu, the second elder who was in charge of the family's external competition, Ling Tianshui, the third elder who was responsible for the security of the entire family, especially the security of the council hall, Ling Tianhuo, the fourth elder who was in charge of the family's elixir warehouse, and Ling Tiantu, the fifth elder who was in charge of the family's personnel management and had just been in charge of the family's young disciples' annual skill test.

Gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, exactly the names of the five elders.

"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's get started. Ling Tianjin, as the highest status and strength among the five elders, saw that the other four had already arrived, and walked straight to his seat and sat down.

"What are you doing here, the five of us are discussing, he is a junior who can't even avoid the test, what are you doing here?!" Seeing Ling Yun beside Ling Tianjin, the fourth elder Ling Tianhuo took the lead in attacking. As his name suggests, Ling Tianhuo has an unusually hot temper.

Not only Ling Tianhuo, but the other two elders except Ling Tianjin and Ling Tiantu immediately looked puzzled and dissatisfied when they saw Ling Tianjin come in with Ling Yun.

Regarding these elders' doubts, Ling Yun did not refute or explain a word. Ling Yun knew that since Ling Tianjin had brought him here, there must have been Ling Tianjin's intentions. And it's not waste, Ling Yun knows better than anyone else in his heart, and he doesn't bother to explain too much useless.

"Haha! It seems that a few of our old guys have let this little guy cheat! But that's fine, since we old things who get along day and night have been deceived, those old things in the other families must not know that we still have such a young master! Old five, you give them a few things to tell them about today's incident on the test ground. Regarding the doubts of several people, Ling Tianjin "haha" daxiao after hearing this.

Looking at Ling Tianjin's strange appearance, and then looking at Ling Yun next to him with a self-determined expression, the other three elders except Ling Tiantu suddenly looked puzzled, turned their heads to look at Ling Tiantu next to him, and waited for Ling Tiantu's answer.

Looking up at Ling Yun, Ling Tiantu looked at Ling Tianmu, Ling Tianshui and Ling Tianhuo, shook his head helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "We have all been deceived by Ling Yun...... No, to be precise, it's not that Ling Yun lied to us, it's just that he hasn't shown it, and we don't know. ”

"Hey, Old Five, what did you say, why didn't I understand?!" Ling Tianhuo listened to Ling Tiantu's somewhat inexplicable words, and suddenly became a little impatient, turned his head to look at Ling Tianjin and said, "Big brother, if you have anything to say, you should say it!

Ling Tianjin turned his head to look at Ling Yun next to him, waved his hand at Ling Tiantu with a smile and said, "Okay, Old Five, let me talk about it." Stretching out his hand to push Ling Yun beside him forward, Ling Tianjin patted Ling Yun on the shoulder and said with a smile: "A hero is a young man! Ling Yun's cultivation has been seen by the fifth child today." Sixteen years old, a first-rank seventh-order martial artist, do you have any ideas?"

"What?!, this kid...... A first-rank seventh-order martial artist?!"

"Impossible, how can a sixteen-year-old be a first-rank seventh-order! That Wei County Lord is so talented, he is only a first-rank sixth-order. He, a guy who didn't even dare to participate in the test, how could he be a first-rank seventh!"

"Wait, the fifth brother just said that Ling Yun hasn't shown it...... Isn't it ......."

After Ling Tianhuo and the others listened to Ling Tianjin's words, they were immediately surprised. For the talent that Ling Tianjin said, they all felt extremely incredible.

Lord Wei, Ling Wei'er?

For Ling Tianhuo and the others' shocked performance, Ling Yun didn't care at all, and he didn't feel any sense of pride. Only the three words "Lord Wei" in Ling Tianhuo's mouth attracted Ling Yun's attention. Thinking of the respectful look that Great Elder Ling Tianjin and Fifth Elder Ling Tiantu had given Ling Wei'er in front of him, Ling Yun's eyebrows furrowed slightly, feeling that what had happened today didn't seem to be as simple as he imagined.

Hearing Ling Tianhuo say the identity of Ling Wei'er County Lord straightforwardly, Ling Tianjin looked at Ling Yun next to him again, and saw that his eyebrows were frowning slightly, and he immediately understood that Ling Yun had already sensed the strangeness in it.

"Okay, let's get down to business today! Ling Yun, yes, I think you've already guessed, Ling Wei'er doesn't belong to the Ling family, although her surname is Ling, but she is not from our Ling family. She is the pearl of Ling Fei, the prince of Datang Town, and the famous lord of Xinwei in Datang. Turning his head to look at Ling Yun, Ling Tianjin told Ling Wei'er's identity.

"Does she know?"

After listening to Ling Yun's words, Ling Tianjin turned his head to look outside, made a rough estimate, and then said, "At this time, I should already know. ”

"Someone from Shengjing?!"

"Not bad. ”

After Ling Yun heard this, he nodded, no longer dwelling on the issue of Ling Wei'er's identity. However, he knew in his heart that coming over today was definitely not as simple as simply telling himself Ling Wei'er's identity. "Great Elder, I think calling Ling Yun here today shouldn't be so simple to tell Ling Yun about Wei'er, right?"

Ling Tianjin nodded, turned his head to look at Second Elder Ling Tianmu and said, "Second Elder, you can tell Ling Yun." ”

When Ling Tianmu heard this, he turned his head to look at Ling Yun who was coming with Ling Tianjin next to him, and immediately understood Ling Tianjin's thoughts, and slowly opened his mouth and said: "The position of the city lord of Qingyuan County has always been vacant, and the Great Tang Kingdom has never appointed a city lord, so that several of our families are fighting openly and secretly here, checking and balancing each other. ”

"Originally, we thought that Datang might not appoint a candidate for the city lord in the future. However, just now the person who came from the Guogong Mansion in Shengjing Town informed us that the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had decided on the choice of the city lord of Qingyuan County. And the way to choose is to choose one of the several families in our Qingyuan County. More importantly, let our four families recommend one person together!"
