"So to speak. ”

Ling Yi nodded, agreeing with Deng Yuanxun's statement.

At the beginning, it was because he had a mental calculation or not, he was extremely weak, and he was not taken seriously by Lin Yan's father and son at all, but later he suddenly rose up and became the most outstanding chess piece in the battle for the suzerain.

In the end, the reason is exactly what Deng Yuanxun said.

"Since the Governor is willing to spend six years of hard work on Second Elder Lin's body, why can't he spend some more time on me?"

Ling Yi's words turned sharply, and his eyes shone brightly.

It is the light of self-confidence, and at the same time, the light of ambition.

"You?"

Deng Yuanxun frowned and looked Ling Yi up and down.

After watching it for a long time, I suddenly snorted and laughed.

"This governor values Lin Yan because of his status as a second elder as one of the three core elders of the Burning Sun Sect. ”

"Lin Yan's own martial arts are not weak, and his status is noble, it is reasonable for him to be the suzerain master of this Scorching Sun Sect, and it will not cause opposition from the Scorching Sun Sect. ”

"And you?"

Deng Yuanxun looked at Ling Yi contemptuously, "You're just a fifth-tier disciple, do you really think that this cultivation is very strong?"

"Didn't you hear too much of the phrase that all ants below the fifth level think that you have gotten rid of the identity of ants?"

Ling Yi shook his head, even if he was looked at so contemptuously by Deng Yuanxun, his complexion did not change in the slightest, but said calmly: "No, it is not so inflated below, in fact, in the eyes of Lord Governor, I am still just an ant who just wants to steal life." ”

"So, why do you let this Governor spend his heart and soul on you?"

Deng Yuanxun raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile.

"If you want to win the Scorching Sun Sect, martial arts cultivation is one thing, but as the Governor said, identity and status are also another very important aspect, otherwise even if the martial arts are high enough to convince the public, you will naturally not be able to sit in that position. ”

Ling Yi groaned.

Deng Yuanxun didn't speak, he looked at him coldly, waiting for Ling Yi's next words.

"And I, in addition to being a disciple of the Martial Dao Fivefold Scorching Sun Sect, I also have another identity. ”

Ling Yi's eyes were scorching, and he said in a deep voice: "I am the personal disciple of Lu Xinghe, the sect leader of the Scorching Sun Sect, and this identity is the only one in the Scorching Sun Sect!"

"As a senior disciple of the personal lineage, I don't have the opportunity to take over the Burning Sun Sect!"

As soon as these words came out, Deng Yuanxun's eyes flashed slightly.

Yes, he knew that.

Ling Yi's identity is very special, and if he can be appreciated by Lu Xinghe and returned to the door wall, he will naturally be focused on cultivating.

What's more, there was a Feng Ze behind Ling Yi.

This kid's cultivation is not high, but he has a relationship with the two scorching sun sect masters before and after, and I have to say that he is not a shallow blessing.

But the more Ling Yi had such an identity, the more Deng Yuanxun didn't believe him.

Wouldn't it be a big joke for someone who was appreciated by both sect masters to run in front of him and say that he could help him take down the Scorching Sun Sect!

"So you mean, let this governor invest resources in you, and you will make great progress in cultivation one day, and then take Lu Xinghe to replace him?"

Deng Yuanxun said the unfinished words for Ling Yi, and sneered on his face.

"Yes, exactly!"

Ling Yiqiang said yes, as if he didn't see the sneer on Deng Yuanxun's face.

"Joke!"

Deng Yuanxun shouted: "You came to this governor to make a big fuss, just to say this?"

"Ling Yi, Ling Yi, in order to save your life, you can be regarded as unscrupulous, Lu Xinghe values you so much, but because you are afraid of being killed by this governor, you can say such spineless words, do you think ...... I'll believe you?"

He laughed loudly, and the sound shook Cangye, as if he had heard an extremely funny joke, and Ling Yi standing in front of him was just a clown on the stage who made people laugh.

Ling Yi waited quietly for him to finish laughing, and then said calmly: "Your Excellency Governor has a sentence that is very right. ”

"I am making this suggestion for nothing other than to save my life. ”

"But as for the Governor, I have no backbone...... I disagree. ”

When he said this, Deng Yuanxun smiled and looked at him with surprise, and mocked: "You are not called spineless, so this governor wants to know, in your place, what is called backbone?"

He is the governor of Yishan, and he is also a martial artist, and he still has the arrogance of a martial artist in his bones, like Ling Yi, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, which is despised by 10,000.

"The so-called backbone, this is relative. ”

Ling Yi said loudly: "If I agree with the Scorching Sun Sect, thank Sect Master Lu for being kind to me, and be willing to take the Scorching Sun Sect as my home and Sect Master Lu as the main one, then out of loyalty, it is indeed a spineless performance for me to do this." ”

"But in fact, the only thing I am loyal to is myself!"

He looked at Deng Yuanxun with a cold gaze, and said: "In fact, I don't have a good impression of the Scorching Sun Sect, and although Sect Master Lu accepts me as an apprentice, in the final analysis, it is not that he is kind to me, but that I am kind to him, and the difference between the two, please ask the Governor to be aware of it!"

Deng Yuanxun stopped talking, and the mockery on his face disappeared, and after a while, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Go on." ”

Ling Yi's backbone touched him a little.

In fact, Deng Yuanxun also thinks that he and Ling Yi are just loyal to themselves.

It is said that in his capacity, he should have been loyal to the Dongsheng Dynasty.

But first, he was not a foreign military attache trained by the court, but after he got tired of crawling in the rivers and lakes, he defected to the Dongsheng Dynasty.

In the eyes of those martial arts people he knew before, isn't this a spineless behavior?

But Deng Yuanxun didn't think so.

He felt that he had just made the right choice according to his own heart.

The second point is that although he defected to the court, the court was not dedicated to him, and even those hypocritical ministers were afraid that Deng Yuanxun's strength would steal their limelight.

After provoking in front of the emperor, he was given a trick to rise and surrender, and sent out the power core of the Dongsheng Dynasty.

Therefore, based on the above two points, Deng Yuanxun did not think that he would be loyal to the court, but he was unwilling to be mediocre in it.

Even what he is doing now, he wants to unify the Wulin Dao of Yishan Province, but in fact, it is not for the sake of the court, but for the sake of his future ascension.

So how can he talk about loyalty and backbone?

Isn't he Deng Yuanxun the same as Ling Yi?

It's just that Ling Yi did it more thoroughly and more resolutely, and directly said the unspeakable words of Deng Yuanxun.

Such a person who faces his own heart seems to ...... It's even more terrifying!

Deng Yuanxun looked at Ling Yi, and suddenly, he actually believed what Ling Yi said.

If he hadn't experienced some things personally, how could he say such a thing at Ling Yi's age?
