After a while, Lin Zhi took Shen Ling and the others to the miscellaneous office, waited for the steward there to settle everything, and finally explained some precautions to Shen Ling before leaving.

It's just that when she left, she looked at the old man in charge, and her expression flashed with inexplicability, but it disappeared in an instant, and no one noticed her strange expression just now.

At this time, Shen Ling realized that the miscellaneous department of the Great Cloud Sect was somewhere outside the sect.

Only on the left side of the sect gate, rows of houses leaned one after another, but the environment was very simple.

It was an old man who was in charge, and he glanced at Shen Ling and the others with sleepy eyes, and said lazily: "The last two rooms in the front row are yours." ”

"This is the door lock," the old man handed it to Shen Ling.

"Thank you, senior!" Shen Ling respectfully accepted.

"Senpai?"

The old man's body was stunned, and then he said to Shen Ling with a calm face: "It's been a long time since anyone called me that, but you're still the first one." ”

Seeing Shen Ling probing around, the old man said again: "Don't worry, except for the occasional disciples of the outer sect of this sect, the external strength does not dare to make trouble at the foot of the sect." ”

"If you're looking for the environment, don't think about it. ”

"Why?" asked Shen Ling, puzzled.

"Because no one here stays long," said the old man, still calmly.

Seeing that Shen Ling still wanted to ask something, the old man said directly: "Few of the miscellaneous disciples here can persevere, those who have perseverance and talent are thinking about how to enter the outer gate, and those who have no talent and perseverance can't last long, so they go down the mountain." ”

"I don't know what kind of person you are?" the old man said at the end, and suddenly asked Shen Ling.

Shen Ling hesitated for a moment and replied, "I'm neither." ”

"You're a funny boy. ”

The old man said again: "Since you were recommended by Elder Lu, I will naturally take care of you, just in the back mountain of your house, there is a medicinal herb plantation, the place is not big, and there is not much work, just take care of it every day." ”

"Would you like to take on such a job?" the old man asked directly.

When Shen Ling heard that it was a medicinal herb garden, his heart suddenly lit up, he was already relatively unfamiliar with herbs and the like, and he could just learn and learn, so why not do such an arrangement.

At this time, the gray-clothed woman's eyes flickered, and she fell into deep thought.

"Thank you seniors for taking care of me, I took this job," Shen Ling readily agreed.

"Go," the old man waved at him.

After Shen Ling returned, he took Qingni and his mother-in-law towards the residence.

After arriving at the residence, Shen Ling found that the old man was indeed taking care of him, and the two rooms arranged for him were simple, but they all had what they should have, and the environment was relatively quiet.

The reason why it is secluded is because it is close to the back mountain and close to the herb garden.

Shen Ling was very satisfied in his heart: "It deserves to be a good place." ”

Qingni quickly cleaned up the two rooms, and then the mother-in-law came over and said to him: "Yi'er, mother-in-law always feels a little uneasy, it's better for everyone to be careful these days." ”

"Mother-in-law means that old man?" Shen Ling immediately realized.

The mother-in-law didn't say anything, just nodded at it, and her eyes projected a burst of thought.

"Mother-in-law, how can you see that old man, is that old man weird?" Shen Ling was still puzzled.

The woman in gray muttered: "You and him are meeting for the first time, and when you look at his demeanor, you know that this person is a lazy and free person, but he is so attentive to the person you just came." ”

"For a person who is already free and easy, but can still chat with you about so many topics, and arrange the best room for you to take care of, this is still said in the past, but then when you take care of the herb garden, this shows a little weird, these two rooms are so remote and secluded, and they happen to be a good place to start. ”

Sighing lightly, the woman in gray admonished again: "Maybe my mother-in-law is too worried, but being cautious in everything is never a bad thing." ”

For her mother-in-law's series of analysis, Shen Ling thinks about it now, so if it is true, she has to admire her mother-in-law's meticulous and meticulous thinking, and even these subtleties can be seen clearly.

"Mother-in-law's analysis is extremely important, you can't have the heart of harming people, but you can't have the heart of preventing people," why should they be careful.

"You don't have to worry too much, as long as your mother-in-law is there, it's not so easy for them to do something to you. ”

"It's just that although my mother-in-law said that you have the final say in the future, I still don't understand, why do you only keep the Great Cloud Sect, the great sects of the world are more than much stronger than its Great Cloud Sect, as long as you want, your mother-in-law can take you away immediately. ”

The phrase "because you can't just do it for yourself," came out of Shen Ling's mouth.

"From the first step of Tianhe City, it has been like this, and I hope that my mother-in-law can understand Yi'er. ”

The woman in gray nodded, she could understand Shen Ling's state of mind and the slightest difficulty at this time.

"Yi'er, mother-in-law, as long as you live well, other mothers-in-law can not care, so as long as you want to do it, your mother-in-law will support you, I said, you will have the final say in the future. ”

After saying that, the woman in gray turned around and entered the room.

Shen Ling fell silent, and after a long time, he replied: "Thank you, mother-in-law, for understanding Yi'er." ”

In fact, if Shen Ling wanted to leave directly, with his current strength, he could defect to other sects, and he also fully believed that his mother-in-law had that strength to let himself enter other sects and major sects.

But just like what he said just now, from the first step taken by Tianhe City, he Shen Ling had no choice but to move forward, and there was no way out.

If he gave up the Great Cloud Sect now, the efforts he had spent in Tianhe City would not only be in vain, but he would also be at a disadvantage to those who had helped him and trusted him, which was also something that Shen Ling did not want to see.

And now that everyone knows that he has entered the Great Cloud Sect, he must use the Great Cloud Sect as a point to support the balance of forces of all parties, especially now that his own strength has not yet developed, the more he can't leave the Great Cloud Sect.

Shen Ling looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and then turned into the room.

...

In a courtyard of the Great Cloud Sect, in a corner where no one was around, a woman in purple stayed here, she looked around, and finally paced back and forth in place, seeing that the expression was clearly waiting for someone.

After a while, another figure flashed, and it was also a cold woman.

The woman in purple was not surprised or surprised by the flashing of this figure, but asked very normally: "Why did you come?" ”

The cold woman didn't rush back, but approached her and said, "Say, Senior Sister Qu, what is the matter with asking me?"

The woman in purple, the corners of her mouth raised, and she snorted lightly: "There is no one else here, and you still call me Senior Sister Qu, so don't you have to let me call you Senior Sister Lin?"

It turned out that among the two women, the cold woman was Lin Zhi, and the woman in purple was Qu Zhen'er, I don't know why they made an appointment here.

After hearing this, the cold woman trembled slightly and said, "My subordinates don't dare, but this place is still in the Great Cloud Sect after all, and it's not appropriate to let others know your true identity." ”

Qu Zhen'er nodded: "That's right." ”

Then he said, "How many people can Shen Ling arrange?"

"Don't worry, the three of them have already made arrangements," Lin Zhi replied calmly.

Qu Zhen'er said again: "In the past few days, the people in the sect are estimated to take action against him, do you know what to do?"

Lin Zhi replied: "My subordinates understand, but I'm afraid that this matter involves many parties in the sect,"

"What's there, just say it directly, it's all for the church," Qu Zhen'er said directly.

Lin Zhi: "Among the miscellaneous disciples, I don't know when there was a change of steward, you should know about this?"

Qu Zhen'er looked puzzled and said, "Tell me, who has it changed?"

"At least I didn't see this person when I was in the Great Cloud Sect,"

"It's strange, I suspect there's something strange about it," Lin Zhi said her doubts.

"An old man, have you never seen this person?" Qu Zhen'er thought for a while, and then said to Lin Zhi: "You and I have been paying more attention to the past few days, and always pay attention to the movements." ”

Lin Zhi nodded, and finally said with a hint of puzzlement: "Why are you so concerned about Shen Ling?"

Qu Zhen'er snorted:

"I'm afraid that Ji Lao of the royal family is more concerned than me, right?"

"Who are you to question me?"

The last sentence carried a hint of coldness, which made Lin Zhi's body tremble slightly.

Seeing that Lin Zhi was silent, Qu Zhen'er said: "Although we both serve the royal family, don't forget that we are all people from the same sect, although you have been by Ji Lao's side since childhood, but you two have always been people in my sect." ”

Lin Zhi nodded silently, but still asked with a hint of inexplication: "Could it be that he is really that person...?"

Shut up, "Before Lin Zhi finished speaking, he was stopped by Qu Zhen'er.

The current Qu Zhen'er does not look like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in words and demeanor, but the majesty is like a woman who has gone through the world.

Under Qu Zhen'er's reprimand, Lin Zhi's body shivered, and he didn't dare to speak for a long time.

After a long time, Qu Zhen'er said: "There are some things that you shouldn't ask, didn't Master Ji teach you?"

"The subordinates don't dare, and they won't ask more in the future," Lin Zhi said with a hint of fear.

She knew very well the identity and means of the person in front of her, that identity was of the Holy Spirit, and it could not be easily offended.

If you don't dare, you have to know your identity. ”

"There is one more thing, presumably Master Ji has also arranged it for you, then I will ask by the way, how is the mother-in-law next to him checking?"

At the mention of Shen Ling's mother-in-law, Lin Zhi showed a hint of hesitation.

Qu Zhen'er looked around again, and said slowly: "Say, there is no one here." ”

Lin Zhi said slowly: "My subordinates sent someone to check on this person, and found that this person is probably not from the Ziqing Continent, as if she has a connection with other strengths." ”

"But what kind of strength it is, there is no way to find out, this person's realm is too high, there is no trace when he travels, and the person sent to investigate has no way to start. ”

"Not the Purple Green Continent, not the Purple Blue Continent?" Qu Zhen'er kept repeating. ”

Finally, he sighed: "Is there such a mysterious person in the world?" and guessed in his heart: "That must have something to do with it." ”

Lin Zhi didn't understand it, but she didn't dare to ask more, but what made her feel a little similar was that from Qu Zhen'er's demeanor just now, she saw Ji Lao's shadow, and the two of them were so similar in their longing for something.

At the same time, she felt that behind Shen Ling and his mother-in-law, there was a shocking truth hidden, and once it broke out, it would be like it could affect everything, because she could faintly feel that there were many pairs of eyes staring at Shen Ling and the others in secret like predatory poisonous snakes.

After coming back to her senses, Qu Zhen'er looked at Lin Zhi and said, "Now his mother-in-law is following him and continues to explore secretly, mainly to see if she is in contact with the outside world, and whether she has used anything, you must check carefully." ”

"In addition, don't follow too closely, so as not to startle the snake, the sensitivity and perception of people with such a high realm are quite amazing, and I don't need to remind you at all. ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Zhi nodded and responded, "Then Shen Ling?"

Qu Zhen'er: "Once someone hits him, he should take action, he must take action, and his safety must be guaranteed,"

"If he dies, first, it is a pity for his talent, and second, all the clues will be broken. ”

"My subordinates understand," Lin Zhi replied again.

"Okay, that's all for today, a major discovery will come to report quickly," Qu Zhen'er said with a flash, and left the corner.

After seeing the figure leave, Lin Zhi took a deep breath, then looked around, and left the place with a light jump.
