Xuan Lingzi asked, "How are you going to improve your strength?"

Cheng Ling said: "This seal, I feel that the formation path is actually a great help, and in the future, I will have to rely on the formation more to protect myself." ”

"In the past two years, I have also asked the master to give me a lot of guidance, at least to reach the master's formation level. The rest of the time, the library of the Sword Hall and the Shushu Hall, I will not let go. ”

Xuan Lingzi smiled and said, "I almost forgot, you will soon be the Young Sect Master, and the Sword Hall and the Art Hall will not be able to prevent you from entering their Library Pavilion." ”

Cheng Ling laughed, this reward is his favorite.

Xuan Lingzi said again: "There are still some cultivation secret realms in the sect, you can also try to enter, where the aura is richer than here, and it can also improve your actual combat ability." ”

Cheng Ling also agreed.

In this way, Cheng Ling began to fall silent again. He did not participate in the succession ceremony, and returned to his previous state of cultivation.

But now, he has greatly increased the time for formation deduction. In addition to the improvement of swordsmanship and cultivation every day, most of the time is spent deducing formations, and the time of sleep is also reduced to three hours a day.

He is no longer short of pills. With the help of Tianxiang Dan, another year passed, and his cultivation was also promoted to the late stage of foundation building.

This is also the result of his continuous refining of the purity of the true element in order to lay a good foundation.

In the past year, Xuan Lingzi has also become more and more old, his face seems to be filled with a layer of death, and there is only one year left before his longevity.

On this day, Cheng Ling had just finished deducing the four-level formation. Yes, it is a fourth-level formation, and after a year of deduction, his formation has been upgraded by another level, reaching a fourth-level formation mage.

Xuan Lingzi came with Chen Song. Chen Song is now the only disciple in the Sword Hall who has a good impression of him, and he has also come here a few times in the past year, and he has also helped Cheng Ling bring many swordsmanship cheats.

Chen Hai also admitted that Cheng Ling was already a young sect master, and all the resources in the sect could be enjoyed at will, and he couldn't stop it, and there was also Chen Song's credit in between.

After Chen Song sealed Jiaolong, he gave Chen Hai a detailed account of the battle, and he also strongly recommended that the family take Cheng Ling back.

His opinion Chen Hai was something to consider, because Chen Song was not only an outstanding son of the family, but also the son of Chen Haoguang, another faction in the clan.

Chen Haoguang's strength and the patriarch Chen Haoran are only between the two of them, if it weren't for the support of Chen Haoran and the elders of the Cheng family back then, whether he could be the head of the family is also a matter of words.

This is also the reason why Chen Haoran made other children of the family criticize, and when he got the honor of the head of the family, he expelled the Cheng family and her son, and he didn't miss the old feelings at all.

Now Cheng Ling's performance in the sect is eye-catching, although he is low-key, but according to Chen Song, his strength is not under Chen Mo, if he can win it, Chen Haoguang's strength will also increase.

Moreover, even if his own son is against him, Chen Haoran will be disgraced in the family.

These are all considerations after Chen Hai analyzed the pros and cons. He really didn't want to get involved too much in the family fight, so he helped Chen Song Cheng Ling many times, but he just turned a blind eye.

Cheng Ling was also very happy to see Chen Song. He knew that in the past year, the attitude of the disciples of the Sword Hall towards him had eased a lot, most of which was due to Chen Song's contributions, and he was also very sympathetic, and Chen Song's personality was much better than Chen Lei's.

He said: "Brother Song, why do you have time to come to my small Taoist temple today, isn't the barbecue you had last time enjoyable?"

Chen Song laughed, he likes to get along with Cheng Ling very much, there are always some fresh words and gadgets popping up, and sometimes he will be playful. As an outstanding son of the family and the sect, he is often bound by the rules of the clan and the sect, and it is only here that he feels a little relaxed.

He sat down unceremoniously opposite Cheng Ling's bed and said, "Brother Ling has been really chic these days, as long as he is in this room on weekdays, he doesn't have to worry about anything." ”

Cheng Ling smiled, grabbed his hand, and a gourd and two cups came to the low table in front of the two, and said: "Brother Song is the model of the sect, as for the younger brother, that is, a lazy person, it cannot be compared." Haha, this is my brother's newly brewed fruit wine, it tastes sweet, Brother Song try it. ”

Chen Song shook his head, grabbed the wine glass and squinted, smacking his lips and praised: "Yes, it's really sweet, Brother Ling, you can practice this gravitational technique perfectly." ”

Cheng Ling smiled and asked, "What is the important thing to come here today?

Chen Song's face was solemn, and he said, "Today, there is indeed something important to discuss with Brother Ling. ”

"Brother Song, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it. ”

Chen Song said: "Last month, I went back to the family and told my father about your affairs in detail. ”

Cheng Ling listened quietly and did not interject.

Chen Song continued: "My father admires Brother Ling's qualifications and personality very much, and wants you to return to the family. ”

So, he took the foolish brother to meet the patriarch together, but unfortunately the patriarch did not believe it and put aside the matter of returning. ”

Cheng Ling sneered, is this cheap dad still very principled, since he can't look down on it, then he won't care about the bullshit Chen family.

Chen Song looked at Cheng Ling's face, and sighed secretly in his heart, he really didn't understand why the patriarch insisted on going his own way. In his opinion, Cheng Ling has the cultivation of the late stage of foundation building at such an age, which is very valuable.

He smiled and said: "Brother Ling, don't be angry first, there is one more thing, the patriarch is helpless, I have to welcome you back to the family." ”

Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, and said indifferently: "I don't care if I don't go back to the family or not, even if I stay in the sect forever, it's better than facing such a cold father!"

Chen Song smiled: "You listen to me first, and then it's not too late to make a conclusion." ”

Cheng Ling shook his head and said, "Okay! Brother Song, you say, I'll listen." ”

Chen Song said: "Just when the patriarch was arguing with my father, someone from the Cheng family came, and it was the first elder of the Cheng family, Cheng Xiao!"

"Cheng Xiao, or the first elder of the Cheng family, what is he doing here!"

He came to propose marriage and specified that he wanted Brother Ling to marry the children of the Cheng family. ”

Cheng Ling was taken aback, what is the situation? He is only 12 years old, and he is going to get married? And he also knows that this marriage is a good way to communicate with each other, and if it is not good, it is a collusion of interests.

When did he fall in love with the Cheng family and become a chess piece used to bind interests? He was very reluctant in his heart, so he shook his head and said: "I don't want to marry, let Old Man Cheng Xiao go back!"

Chen Song smiled narrowly and said, "Brother Ling, this is your fault, if you refuse, don't say that our two families are disgraceful, even the disciples in the sect will find you desperately!"

Cheng Ling said in a daze: "Why? What is the matter with me marrying the Guan Sect?"

"Do you know who you are going to marry?"

"Who is it?" asked Cheng Ling.

"Cheng Yanbing, Senior Sister Cheng!"

"What!" Cheng Ling jumped three feet high, this news is too exciting, with that girl's proud temperament, she will take the initiative to ask to marry her?

Chen Song smiled: "What's the matter, I'm stupidly happy, do you know that the disciple who admires Senior Sister Cheng is in the sect, if not ten thousand, but also eight thousand, and now she takes the initiative to ask, no one can really think of it." ”

Cheng Ling was puzzled: "You said Senior Sister Cheng took the initiative to ask for it?"

"Yes, what is your little story with her?" Chen Song looked curious, and the fire of gossip was burning.

Cheng Ling's face was sluggish, thinking back to Cheng Yanbing's devilish figure in his mind, and his heart was hot. But when I thought of her proud nature, I lost interest in it for a moment.

He shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Cheng is much bigger than me, how can she fall in love with me?

Chen Song said angrily: "Even if I want to make fun, I have to divide the object, Senior Sister Cheng, I don't dare to provoke, don't say that her cultivation is higher than mine, even if the spittle of the disciples in the sect, I can't resist it." ”

"Then why did she name me: marry me? I don't have much contact with her!"

Chen Song smiled and said, "This, I really know." I heard that the Cheng family originally wanted to marry her elsewhere, but she refused to obey, and in the end, she said that it was okay for her to marry, but he would only marry you, you said that the two of you have nothing to do with each other, who believes this?"

Cheng Ling smiled bitterly, I see. Presumably, that girl didn't want to marry someone else, and she couldn't withstand the pressure of the family, so she thought that she would be looked down on by herself anyway, so she simply married him, which was really a mess.

But at least I figured out the reason, not that the Cheng family had any conspiracy, but Cheng Yanbing's girl's idea.

Chen Song looked at Cheng Ling and said, "But Brother Ling, don't be happy yet." The patriarch said that marriage is okay, but he also has considerations, he chose two disciples, and only if you defeat them. ”

"Who are the two disciples?"

"One is Chen Ran, the adopted son of the patriarch, and the other is your half-brother, Chen Zong!"

Cheng Ling was stunned for a moment, this cheap dad is really interesting! I don't trust myself at all, what kind of entanglement does Cheng Xueyao have with him? It's all involved in my son.

He asked, "How strong are they?"

Chen Song replied: "Chen Zong's strength is the same as you want, but he has been cultivated by the patriarch since he was a child, and the elixir, exercises, and swordsmanship are all top-notch, and with the help of his mother's family, even I am not sure of victory." ”

"As for Chen Ran, I started very early, I am already in the realm of Fake Dan, the first person of the younger generation of the Chen family, I am not an opponent!"

Cheng Ling was taken aback, these two people are heavyweights, and the test set by the cheap dad for himself is not simple!

But he is not afraid, this year, the swordsmanship has become more and more sophisticated, Zhenyuan is also very pure, he is thinking of finding someone to practice his hands, and now he has the opportunity to send it to the door to slap himself in the face, and it is not good to grasp it.

Now, his perception of Chen Haoran is extremely poor, even Chen Song, who is not half related by blood, is very kind to him, but his biological father doesn't care at all.

Is it true that I am still the same Chen Ling before, so easy to bully? He decided to give Chen Haoran a resounding slap in the face, just to get a little justice for Cheng Xueyao!

To tell the truth, this heavenly oath is really mysterious, and it is better to be liberated as soon as possible. He asked, "So when did he decide to start competing?"

"A month later!"

Cheng Ling nodded, this marriage is not easy to refuse, so let's leave a deep impression on the Chen family first!
