Chapter 41: Conspiracy
"I don't know what the two of you are doing here?" Lin Xuanqing asked.
"Hehe, Shi likes to make friends the most, especially with Taoist friends at first sight, so if you want to be closer and closer, Your Excellency won't welcome it, right?"
As soon as Shi Yi came in, he grabbed Lin Xuanqing's arm enthusiastically, looking like I regard you as my own person, looking very enthusiastic.
And Huang Qiuniang stood aside, smiling silently.
It was the first time Lin Xuanqing had been treated like this, and for a while he felt at a loss, and reluctantly smiled: "Where will it be? β
"Giggles, looks like you two want to go together. So, the little woman will make you a pot of fragrant tea, and you two will have a good talk. β
Huang Qiuniang smiled gently, patted the storage bag, took out a set of tea sets, and then skillfully boiled the tea. She cooked it meticulously, and didn't seem to care at all about what the two were talking about.
"Leave her alone, we'll talk about ours. Shi Yi and Lin Xuanqing sat opposite each other in front of the stone table, without looking at Huang Qiuniang, and asked casually, "I don't know which treasure land Lin Daoyou cultivated in the past? Although my wife and I are not talented, they have also traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers in the Great Chu Country, and have made many fellow cultivators, why haven't I seen you before?"
Lin Xuanqing's heart jumped, and his face was as usual: "For many years, I have been practicing with my master in Yunhai Cliff in Qixia County, but I have just recently come out to practice, so it is really normal that Brother Shi has never seen me." β
What he said was half-true and half-false, but he was not afraid that the other party would hear any flaws.
"Oh," Shi Yi suddenly realized, and nodded, "That Qixia County is located in the middle of the country, although I have been to Xia once, but I am only passing by. From this point of view, it was a great pity that I didn't go to the Yunhai Cliff at that time, but I missed a master like Brother Lin. But fortunately, you and I meet again, which can be regarded as a kind of fate. β
Lin Xuanqing had a false and aggrieved relationship with him, although he couldn't tell how sincere the other party was, but the atmosphere of conversation in the secret room became active.
Not long after, the fragrant tea brewed by Huang Qiuniang had been prepared and served.
After drinking this fragrant tea, Lin Xuanqing couldn't help but praise Huang Qiuniang's tea art, but Huang Qiuniang was only modest and didn't say much.
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Lin Xuanqing said meaningfully: "Senior brother is here, I'm afraid it's not just to chat with you over tea, right?"
"Brother Lin is really smart. Actually, I think Your Excellency should be able to see it too, right?" Shi Yi meant.
"See what?" Lin Xuanqing was slightly stunned.
"We are the human race, that Ling Xiao Master has always been arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take us and others seriously; Du Bokang is just a peacemaker, and he doesn't have any opinions himself; as for that Shen Ying senior, he could have competed with Ling Xiao Master one or two, but now he was ambushed by the people of the Divine Carp Sect and was seriously injured...... In this way, the Venerable Master must have become more and more unscrupulous, and he will no longer have any scruples. In this regard, Shi is really anxious!" Shi Yi said bitterly.
"Oh, how could Brother Shi have such an idea?" Lin Xuanqing couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in this stone gourd, so he pretended to be confused, "After all, Master Ling Xiao is the predecessor of the Yunhai Realm, if the people of the Divine Carp Sect are killed, they will also be the main force to resist them. Now that we're headed by him, it doesn't seem wrong with that, right?"
"Will he fight against the Divine Carp Sect for us?" Brother Lin said this, isn't it too naΓ―ve?" Shi Yi sneered.
"What, isn't it right?" Lin Xuanqing wondered.
"Brother Lin is kind-hearted, so it is understandable that he thinks of everyone as simple as himself. Huang Qiuniang, who had never spoken much, suddenly interjected and said with a wry smile, "But don't you know that people's hearts are sinister and the world is hot and cold? Do you know that a month ago, there were more than ten people in our small group, but now there are only a few of us left, why is this?"
"There is still such a thing, I would like to hear about it!" Lin Xuanqing felt a pang in his heart.
"Actually, it's very simple, we were ambushed by the Divine Carp Sect half a month ago. Originally, with our strength, if we fought with all our strength, even if we lost some people, we would still be able to severely damage the monks of the Divine Carp Sect. It's just that I never expected that at the critical moment, the Venerable Master Ling Xiao saw that the situation was not good, and he fled without a fight, and we were caught off guard and suffered extremely heavy losses. If it weren't for the fact that a few of these Taoist friends fought hard but their lives were cut off for my husband and wife, I'm afraid we would have fallen on the spot. Huang Qiuniang's eloquence is excellent, and she seems to remember the danger of the day.
"What's even more odious is that after we escaped, the Ling Xiao Venerable found us again, and bragged unashamedly about how brave he was, slaughtering two powerhouses of the Cloud Sea Realm of the Divine Carp Sect in a row. If it weren't for his strength, Shi would probably have been unable to help exposing his lies in person. Let me ask, is such a villain still worthy of our trust?"
"Bang" Shi Yi slammed the table, shaking the teacup, and said indignantly.
"Hey, I didn't expect that Master Ling Xiao to do this. Then according to Brother Shi's intentions, what should I do?" Lin Xuanqing's face became extremely difficult to look at.
"If we follow Master Ling Xiao again, it will definitely not work, otherwise we may not even know how to die. For the sake of the present, we have to go elsewhere. "Shi Yi deliberately sold a pass.
"So, Brother Shi already has a place to go?" Lin Xuanqing perked up.
"Not bad. I have already made contact with another Yunhai Realm senior, and as long as we cooperate with that senior to complete something, he will promise to take care of us in the future. I believe that with the character and bearing of that senior, he will never abandon me like the Venerable Master. I don't know what Brother Lin thinks?" Shi Yi said confidently.
"Yes!" Huang Qiuniang added, "In terms of cultivation, that senior is not below the Ling Xiao Master, and he has a little relationship with my husband and wife. If it weren't for my husband and Brother Shi's relationship, I would never have told each other about this. β
Lin Xuanqing's mind was racing, and he did not agree immediately, but fell into deep thought.
The two of them glanced at each other, and neither of them spoke, but looked at Lin Xuanqing calmly, as if they were waiting for him to make a decision.
After a while, Lin Xuanqing slowly asked, "Except for the two of you, I don't know what the others think?"
"It's not a secret," Shi Yi seemed to have known that Lin Xuanqing would ask this question, and said without thinking, "Qian Yi and Qian Dashao and I have the same meaning, Senior Du Bo Kangdu has a deep friendship with the two of us, and it should not be difficult to convince him, and Senior Shen Ying has long been tired of the entanglement of the Ling Xiao Master, and he will not refuse if he wants to." As for the last Wu Xiuchen, he didn't have any friendship with me and the others, so it didn't matter. β
"Since this matter is for everyone to act together, there will naturally be no objections below. However, it seems that Senior Brother just now said that he would cooperate with that senior to accomplish something?" Lin Xuanqing asked with a frown.
The Shi Yi was about to speak, but was stopped by Huang Qiuniang first, and chuckled:
"Giggles, it's not a big deal either. It's just that it's not convenient to reveal it now, in short, it's definitely not something that is unfavorable to Brother Lin. β
"Yes, yes. Shi Yu hurriedly agreed.
