Chapter 136: A Conspiracy Hatched in Secret
Hearing Liu Lingtian's invitation, Xie An and the three of them glanced at each other and finally nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
They were not moved by the so-called reward, but because they had experienced a lot, they had already understood that the real strong man did need to be tempered by constant fighting, and this Demon Beast Hunting Contest was a good opportunity to test.
And they haven't fought with demon beasts yet, so they have a lot of expectations for this.
Seeing that Xie An and the three of them nodded in agreement, Liu Lingtian couldn't help but be overjoyed: "With Brother Xie and the three powerhouses joining, our chances of winning this competition are much greater." ”
"You're going to compete too?"
"That's natural, this kind of grand event that belongs to the younger generation of the whole Kaiyuan City, how can our brothers and sisters be absent? And as long as my father is taken out of the divine prison, then I don't have anything to worry about, and I can't miss this kind of competition." ”
"I'm going with me too!" Lu Yangling's voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
"Raise the spirit, you better not go, the demon beast is no better than the ordinary fierce beast, your cultivation is still low, and it is very dangerous to go. Xie An dissuaded.
"But I really want to go with you. ”
"Well, if you are in danger when you go, then I can't blame myself to death? Even if it's for me, you will obediently stay in the mansion this time to learn alchemy, and when your cultivation is strong enough, I will take you with me next time there is such a thing." ”
Xie An touched Lu Yangling's hair and said softly.
After Xie An's patient persuasion, Lu Yangling had no choice but to hold back his thoughts and agree to Xie An's request.
"By the way, Brother Liu, when will this hunting competition start?" Xie An asked.
"The specific announcement has not yet come out, but based on the experience of the past years, the competition should start in about a month. ”
When Xie An heard this, he was slightly happy in his heart.
This competition is said to be hunting monsters, but if the strength is not enough, then it is not certain who is the hunter and who is the prey.
If you want to perform well in the competition, the first prerequisite is to save your life in an environment infested with monsters.
And if you want to save your life, your own strength is naturally the most important.
There was still a month left, and Xie An planned to spend all his time on cultivation. Whether it is Qi cultivation or body refining, as long as he can make a breakthrough, then his chances of surviving the competition will be a few points greater.
After agreeing on this matter, Xie An asked the medicine immortal for some Qingmai San, after all, he had already promised to give Chu Zhu the elixir, so he naturally kept this matter in mind all the time.
Fortunately, Qingmaisan was too ordinary for the medicine immortal, so he took out two bottles and threw them to Xie An without asking.
After this, the people dispersed, and each went about his own business.
Lu Yangling followed the medicine immortal to learn alchemy skills for a day, and felt boring and tight, and originally wanted to take Xie An to visit the night market in Kaiyuan City.
But when he learned that Xie An was going to prepare for the upcoming monster hunting competition, he reluctantly gave up this plan.
Xie An and Mi Ji returned to their residence, Mi Ji fell asleep after entering the house, Xie An looked at the sleeping appearance of the little fur ball and shook his head with a smile, and then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to meditate and cultivate qi.
......
Dark clouds obscured the moon, making some corners of Kaiyuan City, which were already shrouded in darkness, even darker.
In the darkness of the night, a figure floated through the back door of a huge mansion.
Quietly, no one noticed it, not even the porter who was looking at the back door.
It is a traditional mansion with an extensive area, and you can feel its grandeur even in the darkness of night.
The figure walked through the pavilion corridor very familiarly, and finally came to the outside of a lighted study, and did not alarm the bright posts and secret posts planted everywhere in the mansion along the way.
"Come in. ”
A dull voice with a hint of majesty came from the study, as if it had known about the figure's arrival.
The figure did not hesitate, pushed the door in, and showed the figure of an ordinary middle-aged man under the illumination of the light.
In the study, behind a desk made of sandalwood rosewood sat a man with white temples and wrinkled eyes, looking through a book in his hand.
Although the middle-aged man had already entered the study, the man's gaze behind the desk was still on the book, and he didn't raise his head.
"What does the head of the family have to tell his subordinates?" the middle-aged man was not dissatisfied with the man's attitude, but asked respectfully.
"Did the two juniors of the Liu family look for you today?" The man's voice behind the desk was still so flat, but the middle-aged man listened to it with a tense heart.
The majesty of the head of the family is getting stronger and stronger, and now even if he doesn't look him in the eyes, he can have such a strong oppressive force.
"Yes. The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
"They asked you to talk to them then?"
"Yes. The middle-aged man didn't know why the head of the family suddenly asked about it, but out of awe of the head of the family in his heart, he still answered honestly.
"You promised?"
"Yes. ”
"Good. I want you not to speak for them, but to stand firmly against them. ”
The tone of the head of the family did not change at all, but this sentence set off a lot of waves in the middle-aged man's heart.
"Master, why do you want me to do this?"
No matter who wants to do such a treacherous thing, they will bear a lot of psychological pressure. So even in the face of this majestic family master, he couldn't help but ask this sentence.
The man behind the desk didn't speak, but his eyes, which had not left the book in his hand, were raised and glanced at the middle-aged man.
Just with this simple glance, the middle-aged man's heart was like a heavy blow, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and the awe of the head of the family in his heart was even greater.
Seeing that the middle-aged man lowered his head, the man behind the desk turned his gaze to the book in his hand again, as if there was something in this book that attracted him very much.
"Yes. Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man replied with sincere fear.
"Stand down. ”
With this order, the middle-aged man withdrew from the study and quietly returned and left the same way.
It's just that he knows that in the end, he still has a lot of questions in his heart, the head of the family originally had no grievances with the Liu family, why did he suddenly want to make a feud with the Liu family?
But soon he shook his head and put the doubts in his mind aside.
He is just a pawn of the head of the family, and it is his mission to obey the orders of the head of the family, and it is not what the purpose behind the orders is not what he should know.
Just thinking about the generous gifts given to him by the brothers and sisters of the Liu family, and then thinking about the promise he made, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, but that's all.
In the study, the man was still holding the book in his hand and looking through it.
Suddenly, the light in the study was dimmed, and a figure appeared in the study out of thin air.
Although there is a light illumination, the appearance of this person is still a little blurry, making it difficult to see.
After feeling this person's arrival, the man behind the desk finally closed the book in his hand, and a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
"You're here. ”
"What's the matter with you old guy looking for me all of a sudden?" an ethereal voice came from the vague figure, intermittent.
"It's not a big deal, but I heard that the juniors of the Liu family want to replace Liu Yunfeng from the divine prison. The man behind the desk said lightly.
"And then?"
"I want you to come forward when the time comes, I don't want to see Liu Yunfeng leave the divine prison alive. ”
"Why would I do that?"
"Because this time they invited Qiu Qian to speak to them. ”
After the man behind the desk said Qiu Qianbian's name, the vague figure was speechless for a while.
After a long time, he finally spoke: "Okay, I promise you." ”
"In that case, then I'll wait for good news for you, old friend. ”
"Okay, I'll leave without anything else, I'm very busy. ”
The vague figure dropped the sentence and ignored the meaning of the man behind the desk, and the figure disappeared directly from the study after a blur.
Only the man behind the desk was left in the study, and he saw his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said word by word.
"Hmph!Nalan Qingtian, and the little devil who dares to annoy Hua'er, you wait and see!" )
