Chapter 370: Chance?
In addition to practicing every day, Duan Ling kept an eye on Lin Wan, but when time passed day by day, until a month later, Duan Ling was even about to collapse, but he was not able to find a chance to follow Lin Wan at all.
Lin Wan and Zhou Yan are almost inseparable, even if they are separated, the time is not too long. And the most important thing is that Lin Wan's strange life is all in the second half of the mansion. Duan Ling really couldn't imagine how such a lascivious person as Zhou Di could cultivate his cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Immortal Realm?
That's not all, Zhou Di and Lin Wan are like dry firewood encountering fire, and they do that peaceful thing every day. Duan Ling naturally disdained it, but he was always able to see such a scene unintentionally, which also made him really feel unlucky.
In the end, Duan Ling had no choice but to reduce the rate of frequent probing and turn it into an occasional one. Duan Ling was even about to give up this method and think of another way.
And on this very day, the maid sent by Zhou Si to serve him ran in. She informed Duan Ling that Steward Zhou asked all the guests to gather in the hall.
Duan Ling asked the maid what had happened, why had all the guests been summoned, but the little maid didn't know anything, and only said that it seemed that there was a big enemy outside the city.
Duan Ling shook his head after hearing this, knowing that since he had eaten other people's food, it was naturally time to pay it back. It's just that Duan Ling feels that he is really wronged, and the benefits have not fallen much, but he has to work hard for others. He suddenly made up his mind that if a war really broke out, then he would just go through the motions.
He immediately walked towards the hall he had been to before, but before he could take a few steps, his eyes suddenly lit up, maybe this was an opportunity. Duan Ling immediately thought that if he could make great contributions here, then it was very likely that he would be appreciated by Zhou Di.
Duan Ling smiled, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could try. He immediately quickened his pace, and saw from a distance that in the hall, there were dozens of powerhouses in the late stage of the Immortal Realm who were already sitting on their seats.
Although he had been in the City Lord's Mansion for more than a month, he had not gone out all day, so naturally he had not seen these people. And after these people saw Duan Ling, they only glanced at it casually, and their eyes were extremely contemptuous. Without him, Duan Ling was probably the weakest cultivator in this hall except for those attendants.
The world of the cultivation realm is like this, only the strong will be respected by others. Duan Ling naturally didn't care what kind of gaze they looked at him, he just sat down in the last seat at the entrance of the hall.
After that, several people walked in the hall one after another. All of their cultivation was in the late stage of the Immortal Realm, and there was even a Great Perfection powerhouse.
"Senior Shen!"
"I've seen Senior Shen!"
As soon as the Immortal Realm Great Perfection powerhouse walked into the hall, dozens of people in the hall got up one after another. Even Zhou Si, the housekeeper who had been in charge of this place, got up and bowed to him.
"Huh?" The Great Perfection powerhouse, who was called Senior Shen, suddenly had some anger on his face after seeing that the monks in the entire hall had stood up to greet him, but only Duan Ling, who was sitting at the end, did not get up.
And Duan Ling was looking out of the door at this time, he was thinking about his plan, and he didn't notice who walked in at all. However, his appearance fell into the eyes of everyone, and no one thought that he was really absent-minded, but made people think that he was rampantly ignoring everything.
It wasn't until the entire hall was silent that Duan Ling came back to his senses, only to find that everyone's eyes were all staring at him with a little anger at this moment.
"Is there something wrong?" Duan Ling asked to everyone suspiciously.
"With such strength, I was also cited as a guest secretary, Steward Zhou, your vision of seeing people is getting worse and worse. The old man surnamed Shen looked at Duan Ling, and then reprimanded Zhou Si.
dared to say such things to Zhou Si, one can imagine the high status of this old man surnamed Shen. And a few people around the old man surnamed Shen spoke out one after another, and Duan Ling was neither big nor small, and he didn't take Senior Shen in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, Senior Shen, don't be surprised, Duan Daoyou first entered the mansion, and he was not very familiar with everything, so I was negligent. Zhou Si was reprimanded by the old man surnamed Shen, but instead of a trace of anger, he kept making apologies to the old man surnamed Shen.
Duan Ling sneered lightly, ignoring everyone's duties, but secretly said in his heart that this old man surnamed Shen really paid attention to these façade skills. It seems that whoever cultivates to be weaker than him will be inferior to him.
The old man surnamed Shen snorted coldly at Duan Ling, and then walked to the top seat on the far left and sat down under Zhou Si's greeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have summoned you to this day by order of the Lord of the City, all because the enemy is coming. This time the enemy is an old enmity with the city lord, and it will also be a catastrophe for the ancient city of our business. Therefore, I hope that you will do your best to help our Shang Ancient City tide over the difficulties, and after our triumph, the city lord will reward everyone according to their merits. Zhou Si bowed to all the people in the hall and said solemnly.
As soon as he said this, the hall fell silent. Since Zhou Sidu said that this would be a catastrophe in the ancient Shang city, it is conceivable that the cultivation of the person who came to commit the offense would definitely not be weaker than Zhou. At this moment, everyone has their own little abacus in their hearts.
"Please rest assured, Steward Zhou, since we are the guests of Shang Gucheng, we will definitely advance and retreat together with Shang Gucheng this time to repel all the enemies who come to attack. ”
"Yes, advance and retreat with Shang Gucheng. ”
The guests in the hall got up one after another to show their attitude to Zhou Si, and everyone seemed to be righteous and arrogant. It's just that it is not known whether the actual war will be like now.
Woo!!
At this moment, a loud trumpet sounded throughout the city.
Zhou Si hurriedly took two steps outside, and the old man surnamed Shen also stood up and walked outside.
"They are here, fellow Daoists, and they will climb the tower with me to repel the strong enemy. Zhou Si clenched his fists again to the people behind him, and then his figure flashed, and he immediately flew towards the city tower.
Duan Ling deliberately fell last, wanting to wait for all these people to leave to see if he had a chance to reach the second half of the mansion.
"Boy, keep up, let you see what a real war is, Keqing is not so easy to be. ”
A sneering voice sounded in Duan Ling's ears, and several monks stood in front of him, staring at him intensely as if they were afraid that he would escape.
Duan Ling looked at a few people, he remembered that when the old man surnamed Shen entered the hall, they were more diligent than the others. He immediately knew that it was probably these people who wanted to come forward to find his bad luck in order to curry favor with the old man surnamed Shen.
Duan Ling sighed helplessly, this kind of trouble is really inexplicable. The self who was originally the lowest cultivator was so low-key that he was about to lose his sense of existence, but he didn't expect to still be targeted.
Naturally, he wouldn't be afraid of a few people, but at this time, he couldn't do it at all. Otherwise, how can you still lurk in the ancient city of Shang?
"Wait a minute, these troubled bastards are really hateful. Duan Ling was reluctant in his heart, but he could only dodge and chase after the monk in front of him.
