Liao Qiling's tone was still very tough.
But as soon as these words came out, everyone knew that he had completely surrendered.
Facing this young man in white who was less than twenty years old, the dignified master of the "Dan Pavilion", a great figure who could despise all cultivators in the world, finally lowered his high head.
"Since the three elders have kowtowed, I won't embarrass them too much." Zhong Wen glanced at the three bald men lying on the ground, chuckled, then turned to look at Liao Qiling and said, "I need some Elixir seeds.”
"As long as the 'Dan Pavilion' has it, you can take it!" Liao Qiling nodded decisively.
"I also want to check out the ancient books of the 'Dan Pavilion'." Zhong Wen continued to make the request, "Don't worry, I'm just looking at it, I will never take it away."
"No problem." At this time, Liao Qiling just wanted to get this plague god away as soon as possible, and he promised to do it as quickly as possible.
"Besides..." Zhong Wen's expression became slightly more solemn, "I also want to take away someone from the 'Dan Pavilion'."
"Who?" Liao Qiling heard that Zhong Wen was going to attack someone in the "Dan Pavilion". Her heart tightened and she did not dare to agree immediately. "Is it Elder Gongyang?"
"Well, why should I take him away?" Zhong Wen smiled, shook his head, and suddenly asked, "Who is the young master of the 'Dan Pavilion'?"
"I wonder why you are looking for a dog?" Liao Qiling's expression changed, and she was very alert. "That boy is young and ignorant. If there is any offence, Liao is willing to bear it."
"Young and ignorant?" Zhong Wen pointed to his nose, "Is he as young as me?"
Liao Qiling: "..."
He suddenly realized that the extremely powerful enemy in front of him who had forced him into despair was a young man who looked to be under twenty years old.
"Of course, the person I want to take away is not your master." Zhong Wen changed the subject, "but a guest who is temporarily staying in his house."
Liao Qiling was stunned when he heard this. When he was about to ask, Zhong Wen flashed and suddenly appeared in front of a group of "Dan Pavilion" disciples below.
"May I ask my brother's name?" He wanted to ask one of the handsome young men with a smile.
Liao Qiling was shocked because the person Zhong Wen asked was his precious son, Liao Zeyu, the young master of the "Dan Pavilion".
"I, I..." Liao Zeyu turned pale and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Just then Zhong Wen had just uttered the words "Young Pavilion Master" when he keenly noticed that a beautiful young woman in a white dress hurriedly stood in front of this person, her face full of vigilance and worry. , a pair of beautiful eyes stared at him fiercely.
It was precisely because of the actions of the woman in white that he focused on this young man.
Seeing the man's expression at this time, he suddenly understood why he didn't understand that he had found the rightful owner.
"It seems that you are the young master of the pavilion." Zhong Wen's voice was quite soft, "I heard that a girl named Yun Qingyao is currently staying in the house temporarily. Is it true?"
Hearing the words "Yun Qingyao", Liao Zeyu's eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light, he calmed down instantly, and asked coldly, "What are you looking for Qingyao for?"
"Didn't I say that?" Zhong Wen didn't seem to sense Liao Zeyu's resistant attitude, and said with a smile, "I want to take her away."
"Why?" Liao Zeyu's eyes became more hostile.
"Since you sincerely ask for advice, I will tell you with great mercy." Zhong Wen pointed at Ye Qinglian behind him and replied slowly, "Yun Qingyao wants to murder my woman, so I plan to settle the matter with her. Let’s settle the accounts.”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Ye Qinglian.
Especially in the eyes of Jiang Yushi and Zhuma, there was an inexplicable meaning in the shock.
Ye Qinglian didn't expect that Zhong Wen would come out like this in public. For a moment, her pretty face turned red and she felt confused. When she was about to deny it, she hesitated again and again, but finally held back and didn't speak.
I'll take care of you when I get back!
She was ashamed and angry, and glared at Zhong Wen with her beautiful autumn eyes, but her heart was disturbed by a strange feeling, and she didn't understand what she was thinking.
"You're talking nonsense!" Liao Zeyu was anxious and couldn't help but retort loudly, "Qingyao has the most kind heart, how can she murder others for no reason? It's obvious that you are greedy for beauty and want to take her away by force!"
"Frankly speaking, I have never met her in person." Zhong Wen did not argue with him, but laughed and said, "Listening to what you said, I think this Miss Yun is quite pretty, which actually aroused my interest even more , please let her come out and see her!"
"Shameless person! You've given up on this!" Liao Zeyu's voice became a little louder, "I will never hand over Qingyao!"
"Pavilion Master Liao, what do you think?" Zhong Wen sighed helplessly, turned to look at Pavilion Master Liao Qiling, and asked in a tone of consulting "Yuan Fang".
"Yu'er, who is this 'Yun Qingyao'?" Liao Qiling was shocked and asked her son quickly.
He was focused on the "Dan Pavilion" and didn't care much about his son's daily life, and he knew nothing about Liao Zeyu's emotional experience.
"Father, Qingyao is the person that the child loves deeply." Liao Zeyu's face showed a pleading look, "She is also the most beautiful, gentlest and kindest woman in the world."
The junior sister Song Xiaoqian's eyes dimmed next to her, and her fair face was filled with disappointment.
"Pfft!" Zhong Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud, "The most beautiful, the gentlest, the kindest? Are you afraid that you were stunned by this vixen?"
"Shut up!" Liao Zeyu was furious and punched Zhong Wen, "I won't allow you to insult Qing Yao!"
"Brother!"
Song Xiaoqian was horrified and held him tightly to prevent this senior brother from making such a stupid move.
At the same time, Liao Qiling's figure also appeared in front of Liao Qiling in an instant. He waved his right hand quickly, and with the first "snap" sound, he slapped his son's left cheek hard: "Bastard, do you want to destroy the 'Dan Pavilion'?"
"Dad..." Liao Zeyu covered his face, and the pleading in his eyes became stronger, "Please, don't let him take Qingyao away, the child can no longer live without her in this life!"
"Senior Brother, wake up!" Song Xiaoqian couldn't help but said angrily, "Ever since this Miss Yun came to the 'Dan Pavilion', you have not thought about food or food all day long, and you only know how to hang around her. You are unwilling to delve into the art of alchemy, and now you are willing to risk the lives of thousands of people in your sect for the sake of a woman?"
"Oh? Is this little beast so unbearable?" Liao Qiling's face became even more gloomy, "Xiaoqian, hurry up and bring that Yun Qingyao. I want to see what kind of woman can charm my son." So fascinated!"
"Yes, Master!" Song Xiaoqian decisively accepted the order and left.
"No! Junior sister, please don't!"
Liao Zeyu roared loudly and tried to rush forward to stop Song Xiaoqian, but he felt a strong spiritual aura falling from the sky. His whole body froze, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly became unable to be mobilized. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a "plop".
"You evil beast! Do you even dare to stop talking to me?"
It turns out that the person who took action was his biological father Liao Qiling, "How could I give birth to such an unworthy son like you!"
"Dad, please, kid!" Liao Zeyu reluctantly raised his head, his eyes were red and slitted, "Let Qingyao go, she is innocent!"
This young pavilion master is actually an infatuated person!
Zhong Wen looked at the desolate Liao Zeyu and sighed secretly in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest sympathy.
At this point, the so-called "Alchemy Contest" has long since become a farce. If it weren't for the idea of having a relationship with Zhong Wen, most of the guests in the audience would have left.
The whispers from all around reached his ears from time to time, and they were treated as jokes. Liao Qiling's shame gradually numbed, and his whole person became calmer. He had a posture of letting you laugh at him, and the bright moon shines on the river.
Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hall, and then, Song Xiaoqian's slim figure appeared in everyone's eyes.
But behind her, there was no one else.
"Xiao Qian, where is the woman named Yun?" Liao Qiling asked doubtfully.
"She...she is not in senior brother's house." Song Xiaoqian hesitated.
"What's going on?" The faces of Liao and his son showed confusion at the same time.
"I heard from the servants in the mansion that she left the 'Dan Pavilion' this morning." Song Xiaoqian said angrily, "It is said that she left in a very hurry and never said hello to anyone!"
Qingyao left!
Liao Zeyu looked happy and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhong Wen glanced at Ye Qinglian and saw that this beautiful sister's expression was very calm and she didn't seem to be very angry.
"It's a shame that senior brother treats her so infatuatedly." Song Xiaoqian said angrily, "In times of crisis, she actually left without saying goodbye. She is really a wolf-hearted and ungrateful person!"
"Junior sister, I don't allow you to talk about Qingyao like that!" Liao Zeyu said displeased, "She must have had some unavoidable reasons for leaving in such a hurry."
"Senior brother, you..." Song Xiaoqian stomped her feet angrily, "What kind of magic did this woman use to confuse you like this! Don't let me meet you, otherwise my little sister will cut off her head with a sword!" "
"Junior sister, if you continue to insult Qingyao like this, don't blame me for turning your back on me!" Liao Zeyu said with a straight face, "Don't think I don't know your thoughts, it's just that in my heart, apart from Qingyao, I can no longer pretend to be someone else. , Junior Sister, you’d better give up on this idea!”
"Brother, it turns out that in your heart, I am such a despicable woman!" Song Xiaoqian did not expect to hear such words from Liao Zeyu, tears could not stop rolling in her eyes, "Okay, you go find her yourself Come on, I don’t care anymore!”
After saying that, she turned angrily and rushed out of the door. A gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and a few drops of water seemed to fall in the air.
Liao Zeyu stared at the retreating figure of his junior sister, a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and he opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, no words came out.
"Master, this 'Yun Qingyao' is not in our sect now." Liao Qiling looked at Zhong Wen with a confused expression, "Look..."
Zhong Wen scratched his head. He didn't expect that he would see such a bloody drama between a young man and a young man when he just brought Ye Qinglian to seek revenge. He couldn't help but glance at Ye Qinglian again, not knowing what to do.
"The vixen has run away, just look for her slowly."
Unexpectedly, Ye Qinglian looked calm and said slowly, "Pavilion Master Liao should fulfill the other two conditions."
"That's natural!" Liao Qiling quickly responded, "Master, if you want to read ancient books and select seeds, just let me do it!"
After saying that, he made a "please" gesture and looked very attentive, as if he was afraid that the other party would regret it.
Zhong Wen stared at Ye Qinglian in surprise for a long time. Seeing that she looked calm and showed no sign of being too angry, he nodded slowly and followed Liao Qiling out of the hall.
"Young Pavilion Master." After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped again, turned to Liao Zeyu and whispered softly, "People are often easily confused by appearances, and they focus on pursuing distant scenery, but they don't know that truly beautiful things are very difficult to see. Might be around.”
After that, he stepped over the threshold without looking back and chased Liao Qiling.
What's wrong with me?
Ye Qinglian stared blankly at Zhong Wen's leaving figure, with a look of confusion on his face.
Ever since she stepped into the "Magic Medicine Hall", she has been letting go of her consciousness, trying to find the location of the vixen.
After searching to no avail, she had already vaguely guessed that her trip might have been in vain.
However, when she learned the news about the vixen's escape from Song Xiaoqian, she was not as angry as she imagined.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that the vixen she should have hated so much seemed to have become less important.
She stood quietly, frowning, thinking a lot, trying to adapt to this change in her mood.
In the audience seat, Old Monster Ding from the Holy Land "Si Cliff" also stared at the direction Zhong Wen left, with a flash of light in his eyes, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
I don't know how long it took, but a determined light suddenly shot out from his eyes. He stood up suddenly, took big steps, and walked out of the main entrance of the "Magic Medicine Hall"...
…
To the southwest of Fulong Imperial Capital, there is a vast luxurious mansion.
At the top of the towering pavilions, the golden roofs radiated dazzlingly under the sun.
In the courtyard, there are small bridges and flowing water, and clusters of flowers. The bright colors and exquisite layout reveal a sense of spring warmth and vitality in the late autumn.
This is the residence of the enemy, one of the four major Fulong families.
Even though its power has declined and ranks at the bottom of the four major families, in terms of the luxury of the house, the enemy family is not inferior to any of the other three major families, and is even more magnificent than the Ji family who is engaged in business.
In the study, the head of the family, Qiu Tianjue, looked solemn and slowly put down the letter in his hand. A light yellow messenger bird jumped on his shoulder, looking lively and cute.
"Father, are you in trouble?"
The person who asked the question was his other son, Qiu Sijie, who had never participated in the martial arts competition and got engaged. "My child is willing to share his father's worries!"
"It's not that much trouble." Qiu Tianjue shook his head and said slowly, "It's a letter from Gong Jiuxiao, inviting me to deal with the Xiao family together."
"Gong family?" Qiu Sijie looked puzzled, "Why?"
"The Xiao family is not authentic this time!"
Qiu Tianjue sighed, and the words Zhong Wen said when he retreated from the Jiang Mansion Courtyard could not help but be heard in his mind: "Isn't there anyone from the Xiao family?"
"Is it because Xiao Wuhen didn't send anyone to deal with the Jiang family?" Qiu Sijie, as his name suggests, has a quick mind and quickly guessed the reason, "But the Xiao family has to be respected by His Majesty. If we take action without authorization, will it cause His Majesty's displeasure?" ?”
"Whose intention do you think it is to besiege the Jiang family this time?" Qiu Tianjue patted his son on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The Xiao family is hiding behind and watching the tiger fight. Even His Majesty has been offended. I'm afraid he Now I wish I could see someone teach Xiao Wuhen a lesson."
"Xiao Wuhen, a traitor to an enemy country, is ambitious and deliberately wants to replace our enemy." Qiu Sijie said with a smile, "Now that the Gong family is willing to deal with the Xiao family together, isn't it just what we want?"
"Having said that, how can Gong Jiuxiao be so kind? His plan is to use our enemies as spearheads." Qiu Tianjue smiled bitterly and handed the letter in his hand to his son.
"This is unreasonable!" Qiu Sijie glanced at the letter and said angrily, "He is clearly trying to make our two families fight to the death, both sides will suffer, and finally let the Gong family come out to pick it up. How can anything be so cheap in the world? Father? Why not reject him directly?"
"The Xiao family has been developing so fast recently that it has almost overtaken our enemies." Qiu Tianjue's tone was full of helplessness, "Gong Jiuxiao has seen the mentality of a father and knows that I cannot sit back and watch the rise of the Xiao family no matter what. This can be regarded as a conspiracy, so I have to accept it even if I don’t accept it!”
"Father, are we just being used by others like this?" Qiu Sijie said angrily.
"As long as we can suppress the Xiao family, what if we are used by others?" Qiu Tianjue glanced at his son and said in a deep voice, "It is better than losing the position of the four major families."
Qiu Sijie opened his mouth, but in the end he made no objection.
As an enemy son of one of the "Four Great Families", he has long been accustomed to the admiration and endless admiration of everyone. Now that he has to give up his identity as a child of the "Four Great Families", he knows that he cannot bear such a gap.
"Go and prepare!" Qiu Tianjue patted his shoulder again, "Our losses may not be as big as imagined!"
"...Yes!" Qiu Sijie pondered for a long time and finally bent down.
