Volume 1 Entering the Cultivation of Immortals Chapter 44 Give you a little thing
A few days later, they arrived in Miao Bo City, and after the last incident, they were finally liberated, and they didn't have to go through the exercise that made them painful, but in the past few days, Ji Zhu seemed to be deliberately avoiding Bai Chen, and the distance between him and him on the road was obviously a little different.
Everyone understood that she was shy, but they didn't say anything, Bai Chen didn't feel that something was wrong anyway, so he walked with a smile.
"Finally back. After entering the city, Ling Ke took a deep breath of air and had a taste of repentance, and then his eyes turned to Bai Chen with a strange glow and said, "Brother Bai, you are so powerful, your position in our Ling family is not low, you are probably a protector, right?"
Ling Ke had long wanted to ask him if he actually wanted to drop Bai Chen to himself as a guard, first ask him what his position was, if it was really a protector, then he could only interrupt this thought.
Ji Zhu also listened curiously when she heard this, she was also imagining that such a powerful figure as him should be in an important position in the Ling family.
It's just that Bai Chen's answer almost made them all fall to the ground, only to hear him say flatly: "What is the Dharma Protector? I'm now in charge of the flower and plant gardener in the backyard." ”
"Isn't it?" Ling Ke heard that even the guards were not guards, and his eyes were about to fall, and then he gave a thumbs up with joy on his face and said without the slightest contempt: "I have heard my second brother say before, generally when entering a family, the most inconspicuous sweeper outside is the master,
I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect our family to be like this, it turns out that the guards are not good, and the gardener is the master! Brother Bai, if I apply for you to come to me as a guard, what do you think?"
Since he wasn't a Dharma protector, Ling Ke felt that it wasn't impossible.
"That's not something I can decide. Bai Chen also thought about this question, didn't he just think about having a good relationship with this young master, if he could become a guard, the odds would be much improved, but then he thought about it and said.
"Then it depends on what Steward Ling means, now that I am in charge of Steward Ling, if he agrees, there should be no problem. ”
Ling Ke showed his essence, he also knew Steward Ling, but how could he convince the butler that it was a problem.
"Are all your Ling family's gardeners as powerful?" At this time, Ji Zhu couldn't help but ask after hearing it. Such a powerful person is just a gardener?
"Yes!" Bai Chen nodded and choked Ji Zhu enough, but he smiled slightly and said, "Because the Ling family needs precision pruning plants, it's just the backyard, so I'm just a gardener." ”
Ji Zhu was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this answer, but you just said it, and you still think that your homeland is so powerful.
"Hmph." She snorted coldly, took out the map in her hand, and walked quickly forward.
"Don't you need us to lead the way?" Bai Chen asked when she saw this, but she didn't pay attention to it and went faster.
Everyone looked at him with strange eyes when they saw this, didn't you see that you were angry?
Ji Cai was surprised and thought that it was right, her sister was indeed different in front of him, if others said so, her temper would have come up a long time ago.
Seeing her speeding up, they also had to speed up their pace and keep up, and the three incense sticks came to the gate of the Ling family later.
There were two young girls waiting outside the door, it was Ling Yulan and her maid Ling Xi, at this time Ling Yulan seemed to have cleaned up carefully, her long black hair was draped over her shoulders at will, and her white and jade-like neck was wearing a five-light pendant.
"Yulan. Ji Zhu saw Ling Yulan waiting outside the door, and walked over happily.
Ling Yulan also smiled when she saw her, and after not seeing her for a long time, it seemed that she also missed each other very much, and caught her hand, talking and laughing for a while, and she kept laughing.
The people behind also slowly arrived at the door, Bai Chen was also stunned when he saw the two of them, especially Ling Yulan didn't expect that she would smile like this when she was usually as cold as ice.
"Wow!" Xiang Ming also saw her smile for the first time, and he was a little obsessed for a while and took off the hat behind him, wanting to look at it carefully.
"She's my sister's friend?" Ji Cai was also stunned, obviously surprised by his appearance.
Ling Yulan, who was in joy, also saw them, and wondered how they could be here.
Ji Zhu saw her question, took her hand with a smile and said, "I met by chance on the road, and when I heard that it was someone from the Ling family, I asked them to lead the way." ”
Bai Chen and the others suddenly became strange when they heard this, Sister, I am behind you, okay, you show us the way, it's almost the same.
They also knew that she didn't want to expose their affairs, so they didn't refute it and just acquiesced.
"That's the case!" Ling Yulan didn't have any doubts, so she took Ji Zhu's hand and smiled: "Don't let them go, I'll take you to see my boudoir." ”
After speaking, she danced and pulled Ji Zhu towards the place where she lived, and the two maids, Ling Xi and Xiao Yue, also knew each other and followed behind them.
A gust of wind blew.
"What are you doing, let's go in?" Bai Chen saw that Xiang Ming seemed to be frozen and stabbed him.
"Oh, let's go with us. Xiang Ming reacted, Ling Yulan's smile was a little confused for a while, he was still thinking about it just now.
As soon as he walked to the door, a divine thought came to Bai Chen with a hoarse voice: "Come to me, I have something to tell you." ”
"Steward Ling?" Bai Chen heard the butler's voice, his face did not move.
"Lao Bai, let's go to the ancestor to report. "Xiang Ming's purpose in taking him on a mission is to make him show his face in front of the head of the family, and at this time the task has been completed and he wants to act.
However, Bai Chen shook his head unexpectedly: "I won't go, I will leave beforehand." After speaking, he was not given a chance to speak, only to see that he disappeared with the distortion of the air around him.
"What?" Xiang Ming was very sorry when he saw this, thinking to himself What is so important? Seeing that the head of the family may be able to show his face and get a reward at the same time, it is a pity to see that he has already left, and it seems that he can only go alone.
He sighed secretly and said to Ling Ke next to him: "Young master, I'll report first, you two play first." ”
"Uh-huh. Ling Ke agreed, seeing Bai Chen's method of disappearing, he couldn't help but be secretly shocked, Brother Bai was really a master and left without a trace of dust, and his admiration for him was even stronger, thinking that he must be dug up.
In fact, Bai Chen's Void Gate did not spread far, mainly because he was afraid of being discovered by others, so he passed to a place where there was no one at this time, and slowly walked towards the housekeeper's residence.
As for Xiang Ming's statement that the head of the family showed up, he actually didn't take it to heart, he just wanted to help him and went with him, at this time, the housekeeper found himself, of course, the housekeeper gave priority, after all, Bai Chen still respected him very much, as for the head of the family, why didn't he see the past?
"What is the matter with Steward Ling looking for himself?" Bai Chen Nannan whispered, he felt that the housekeeper must have something to do with him, he didn't know if he had been delayed after walking for so many days, and just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a lot of boiling noise in front of him.
I couldn't help but be curious, and there was a young guard in the crowd who was about the fourth level of Qi cultivation and said to the guards below: "A few days ago, our Ling family's Tianjiao Ling Guang and Ling Zhan's two young masters encountered the provocation of the Yun family's Tianjiao outside, and I was there at that time, guess what?"
"Tell me what happened in the end?" shouted a thinly dressed young master, who seemed to be aroused, and the rest of the people also chimed in and asked the man to hurry up.
The young guard smiled slightly, revealing a hint of fascination and admiration, and said: "In the end, of course, my Ling family won in the end, Young Master Ling Zhan's strength is infinitely unstoppable, and Young Master Ling Guang's speed is so fast that he has no power to fight back, which greatly frustrates their spirit, and the head of the family is full of praise when he hears that he comes back." ”
"Beautiful. The rest of the people applauded, it seems that it is not a dream for the Ling family to have such a proud figure rising again, in recent years, they have been suppressed by the three families.
Many of the children who did not have a deep affection for the Ling family defected, and at this time, they all let out a sigh of anger and their blood boiled, as if they were also present to see the Yun family's frustrated expression.
"The two young masters have already laid the foundation at a young age, and I don't know when I will get to that point. The young guard sighed on the side after speaking.
"Haha, you'd better be your guard, and try to get to the personal guard first!" one of the people laughed and teased, and the rest of the people laughed along.
"That's right. The young guard laughed when he heard this, and the atmosphere around him seemed very cheerful.
No one noticed that Bai Chen was coming, in fact, he didn't care too much about it when he heard it, but he also recalled that the current situation of the Ling family was not very good, and he had been suppressed by the other three families in the city.
As a result, the Ling family is now strong and middle-class, if it weren't for its huge heritage, it is estimated that it would no longer be among the four major families.
Thinking about it, I arrived at the housekeeper's residence, and last time I came over when I was on leave, and I couldn't help but look at it again after a few months, and took a deep breath and walked in.
It's just that before he walked into the house, he saw the housekeeper with his hands behind his back outside, Bai Chen walked over respectfully and saluted slightly: "Is there anything wrong with the housekeeper?"
"You don't have to be polite, the old man's name is Ling Chencheng and call me Cheng Lao, the housekeeper will look rusty. Ling Chencheng smiled with deep eyes.
"Oh. Bai Chen agreed, thinking that the housekeeper's name was Ling Chencheng.
"What's the matter with Cheng Lao?" Bai Chen asked in a changed voice.
Ling Chencheng first signaled to enter the house, and after the two of them entered the house, Ling Chencheng sat down while Bai Chen stood in front of him and waited to speak.
"The kid has been improving very quickly recently!" Ling Chen looked at him with a smile and a deep meaning.
Bai Chen was beating a drum in his heart, looking at Cheng Lao's appearance, as if he was pointing out the secrets in his body, did he know it?
"Don't worry, kid, everyone has their own secrets and creations, the old man won't ask more, just asked you to come, there is a small thing for you to do. Ling Chen Cheng didn't continue to talk about his secret, but changed the subject.
"Please tell me what is going on. Bai Chen put his mind at ease and said in a calm tone.
"I'll ask you to help me teach two people a lesson. Ling Chen's voice echoed into his ears.
Bai Chen was a little puzzled, he couldn't see how Cheng Lao's cultivation was, he could actually find that his state should be a powerful cultivator, why didn't he do it himself?
