Lin Ming was confused and couldn't figure out how he had offended Bai Chenhai and deserved to be glared at.
He couldn't figure it out, so he looked through his mind's eye.
Under the reflection, he found that the white dust sea air was floating, as if it had just experienced intense movement.
Could it be that I disturbed Mr. Bai's practice?
Lin Ming: (◔◡◔)
He raised his hands, cupped his fists, and bowed slightly.
"I've encountered some trouble and would like to ask sir for advice."
Bai Chenhai's sleeved robe swayed slightly, "Say."
Lin Ming nodded, "A letter came from the Lin family, asking me to cut off my tuition fees and force me to drop out of school."
Bai Chenhai was stunned for a second, coughing lightly as he walked down the steps, "The Lin family's brain must have been caught in the door."
He stood next to a certain stone table and bench and waved, "Come sit here and talk."
Lin Ming nodded and walked over.
Soon, he explained the whole story.
Next to him, Shangguan Yunyan, who had just regained his freedom, jumped to his feet.
"You are a genius who can compete with me, Shangguan Yunyan, and your family treats you like this?"
"What are they afraid of? You saved the Ningguo Army God. Isn't this a great thing?"
Bai Chenhai shook his head, "Qing Mingzhou's power is complex. It is divided into three major kingdoms, seven major sects, and ten major families. This set of classes has been solidified for hundreds of years. Cao Zhuqing is an out-and-out alien. He did not rely on any help. The power of an aristocratic family or sect has achieved the reputation of a military god, and has unrivaled prestige among the Ning people and the army."
The little guy squatted on Lin Ming's shoulder, with the words "so complicated" written all over his face.
At this time, Ge Qinghuang patted the hilt of the sword and cast an encouraging look, "Junior, what our sword cultivators can really rely on is not external objects, but ourselves and the sword in our hands."
Buzz!
The Qinglei ancient sword trembled, and the Jingxian sword vibrated accordingly.
Lin Ming grasped the scabbard and stabilized the restless Jingxian sword.
"I understand that relying on family will never make anything happen. I've known this for a long time."
There was a glimmer of light in Bai Chenhai's eyes, and he thought:
"From the Lin family's unicorn child to the Lin family's abandoned son, the change has been so drastic that it seems to have changed a lot of Lin Ming's thoughts."
"No wonder he has no grudges in his heart and directly helps Ningguo Army God Cao Zhuqing heal his injuries... No, from my observation, he is a person of good temper. If he likes it, he will get along with it, and if he doesn't, forget it."
At this time, Lin Ming tapped on the stone table and asked, "Sir, do you have any clever countermeasures?"
Bai Chenhai shook his head, "There is no clever plan, but there is a rogue one."
"Does this mean that my family and I will fall out completely?" Lin Ming half-joked and waved his hand gently.
"Yes, you are right!" Bai Chenhai smiled slightly.
He showed an inscrutable face like a mountain man with his own clever plan, and slowly revealed the rogue plan.
"Is this really possible?" The innocent and cute little guy asked first.
Shangguan Yunyan pressed her fist against her fist, "I don't think it's realistic."
Ge Qinghuang didn't speak, but his expression didn't seem to agree.
Lin Ming frowned slightly, then straightened his eyebrows.
"Then do it!"
Bai Chenhai grinned:
"Okay, now that you've finished talking about your business, we're going to talk about mine next. Come with me."
Lin Ming nodded and looked at the little guy, "I'll be back soon."
The little guy waved his paws, "I'm watching my sister practice swordsmanship. Brother Ming, remember to pick me up when you feel better."
Lin Ming hummed.
Soon, Lin Ming and Bai Chenhai disappeared at the end of the road up the mountain.
Shangguan Yunyan stamped her feet, hummed two or three times, then jumped up and rushed towards the little guy.
The little guy said "Yeah" and hurriedly dodged.
…………
On the other side, Lin Ming followed Bai Chenhai to the top of Xuanwu Peak.
Bai Chenhai put his hands behind his back and stared at the white haze.
"The sword you just used used the breath of fire technique. It seems that you have received the true inheritance from your uncle."
"Absolutely." Lin Ming nodded.
"Okay, great, it seems you have become his disciple."
"No, not really. I am discussing with senior Wenren Qianyi."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings instantly became quiet.
Wenren Qianyi was a generation higher than Bai Chenhai, and Lin Ming was friends with the former's peers, which meant that he was a generation higher than the latter.
"Cough cough cough..." Bai Chenhai explained: "I accidentally choked on my saliva."
Even if his cultivation level is above the Taihe realm, he would still choke on his saliva... Lin Ming complained in his heart, but he didn't criticize it.
Bai Chenhai asked again: "He didn't accept you as his disciple, so why would he teach you the breathing method?"
"I think we are more compatible." Lin Ming spread his hands.
"No, it's absolutely impossible! You are not from the Xuanzhu lineage, and with Master Wenren's temper, it is absolutely impossible for him to teach you what he is capable of."
"Who says I'm not from the Xuanzhu lineage?" Lin Ming took out the token of the Xuanzhu lineage.
"Pfft...cough cough cough cough cough cough."
Bai Chenhai almost turned into a tuberculosis ghost. He put one hand on his chest and continued shooting for a long time before he regained his composure.
"Why is the token in your hand? It can only be held by the Xuanzhu lineage commander..."
Halfway through Bai Chenhai's words, the words got stuck in his throat.
Gollum, gollum, gollum.
After swallowing three mouthfuls of saliva in a row, sweat broke out on his forehead. He blinked and asked tentatively: "You, you couldn't be the one in charge, right?"
Lin Ming opened his hand, and the small token flew between his palms.
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
Bai Chenhai: (ಥ_ಥ) I lost
He looked at Lin Ming's natural expression and couldn't help feeling discouraged.
After a pause, Bai Chenhai said: "Do you know why I traveled to Qingming Province?"
Lin Ming thought for a moment and said, "We should let the Xuanzhu lineage return to Xuanzong."
"That's right," Bai Chenhai nodded with a grimace, "Then do you know why I want to take on such a sect mission that no one is willing to do?"
Lin Ming shrugged, "I don't know."
Bai Chenhai let out a long sigh, raised his head, looked at Lin Ming, sighed again, and then said: "Because if you achieve this, you can become the leader of a lineage when you go back."
Lin Ming raised his left hand and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows. His smile was full of embarrassment, "That is indeed a bit cheating."
Baichenhai:囧囧囧
Lin Ming: "Mr. Bai, why don't you directly learn the secret techniques of the Xuanzhu lineage?"
"I didn't know I could learn it!" Bai Chenhai had veins popping up on his forehead and tapped his eyebrows, "All I thought about from the beginning to the end was how to persuade my uncle to return to the sect."
"Well, it's really a bit uncomfortable to be limited by my thinking for a while." Lin Ming said.
Bai Chenhai wiped his face and waved his hand, "Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, as long as you can join Xuanzong, it is equivalent to the return of Xuanzhu's lineage to Xuanzong. I can also become the commander, but it will take time. It’s just a little slow.”
Lin Ming cupped his hands and said, "Just think about it."
Mr. Bai glanced at Lin Ming resentfully.
Lin Ming had goosebumps all over his body. It seemed that Mr. Bai was not that easy to think about.
He raised his hand and said, "The matter has been explained, so I won't interrupt."
"Wait!" Bai Chenhai said.
Lin Ming paused, his right hand subconsciously resting on the hilt of the Jingxian Sword.
alert!
When people lose their minds, they can do anything.
He has to be on guard.
Bai Chenhai rolled his eyes and threw a jade slip towards Lin Ming.
"What are you thinking? I won't take action against you just for this little thing. Besides, I point you to enter Xuanzong, so that counts as completing my mission."
Lin Ming smiled awkwardly and raised his right hand, "The misunderstanding is purely a misunderstanding. It's just the instinct of the body."
Bai Chenhai shook his head and waved his hands, "There is another breathing method inside the jade slip, which is passed down to all major branches of Xuanzong. Since you are already the leader of the Xuanzhu lineage, you have not learned this breathing method, so you must at least have seen it. , take a look at the jade slips when you have time."
After saying that, Bai Chenhai turned around and continued to look at the haze like a sea of clouds.
Lin Ming cupped his hands, took the jade slip and left quickly.
When he walked away, Bai Chenhai suddenly turned around, waving his sleeves into the wind, and blasted into the sky with force.
"Ahhhh... If I had known that Uncle Wenren was willing to hand over the command, wouldn't it be better for me to learn it myself?"
"Bai Chenhai, Bai Chenhai, you are such an idiot!"
