After returning from Broken Heart Valley, Zhang Yi has been paying attention to any disturbance in the sect. Of course, since he came back, except for Lou Qingyao leaving in a hurry, the sect has been calm.
But Zhang Yi knew that under this calmness, there must be an undercurrent, because not long after he came back, his father asked him for a strict and detailed interrogation. Zhang Yi gave up only when there were no flaws in his words. In the end, Zhang Yi His father also sternly warned him not to do anything in the near future and to stay at home honestly and so on. The Zhang family is the weakest among the five clans in the sect. Zhang Yi is sure that this matter cannot involve him. However, his own Zhang family is also so nervous, which shows that the two clans in the sect, Zongjing and Zongjing, are already tense at this time. The overt struggle on the table and the secret struggle below the table have already begun.
The reason for this is naturally because Jinglu may have returned to the clan. Not only that, Qian Chao and others also brought back the people Zong Cheng sent to assassinate Jinglu. This was enough to cause tension between the Zong and Jing clans. I'm afraid that the sect's council is also staring nervously at the Zong and Jing families at this time. If the two families can't come to an agreement on the Jinglu matter, it may lead to a fight between them. That's something the council would never want to see. I'm afraid that in addition to the Zong and Jing families who are tense now, the council must have secretly dispatched personnel to keep a close eye on these two families.
It's a pity that these are all Zhang Yi's guesses. The clan has always been calm and nothing unusual has happened. I don't know how many secret and unknown discussions there have been between the Jing family and the Zong family, let alone what the two families talked about. how was it. In Zhang Yi's view, it is not surprising at all that the Zong family has the idea of suppressing the Jing family. The Zong family, which ranks first among the five families, and the Jing family, which ranks second, must have a bad relationship or may seem to be incompatible with each other. beware. The Zong family definitely does not want the Jing family to pose a threat to them, and there must be some small tricks against the Jing family behind the scenes, but they will definitely not use Zong Cheng's method to achieve the purpose of suppressing and weakening the Jing family. Such actions are very bad. Although the clans are ranked in terms of strength, it would be too easy for the monks from any clan to deal with the descendants of the five clans. For a long time, the discord between the five clans has been between famous figures. They won't reach out to the other party's juniors even if they are grudges. There is always a bottom line in doing things.
Zong Cheng's plan was to kill Jing Lu and then blame Qian Chao, and then the Jing family would not be able to let Qian Chao go, so they would suppress the Jing family through the sect council. Zong Cheng's idea was still too simple, and he could only do it for the clan. The Zong family will bring trouble, and it is even unknown that such a move will disrupt the Zong family's arrangement. To take a step back, if Zong Cheng's plan succeeds this time, Jing Lu dies, and Qian Chao is also responsible for killing Jing Lu, then there will be no peace in the clan at this time, but Zong Cheng will not have any problems, she can take advantage of him. Qingyun watched the development of the situation calmly. It's a pity that Zong Cheng's plan was ruined by Qian Chao. Not only did Jing Lu not die, but even the people Zong Cheng sent to get rid of Jing Lu and frame the blame were captured alive by Qian Chao's people and handed over to the Jing family. Next, the initiative is completely in Jing's hands.
Zhang Yi originally planned to rescue Jing Lu by himself, but it was so smooth that Li Jian rescued Jing Lu and captured Wu Han. It was as if Li Jian had known that such a scene would happen, so Zhang Yi suspected that Qian Chao and others had known about it for a long time. After knowing Zong Cheng’s plan, who told Qian Chao about this?
Zhang Yi couldn't think of Chao Zhu, Jinglu's future Taoist companion, for a moment. He soon found out that something had happened to Zong Cheng. He was either grounded, imprisoned, or quietly sent out of the Five Spirits Sect by his elders. After he came back, he He once sent someone to deliver a message to Zong Cheng, but when he tried to find her later, he was stopped by Zong's people. At that time, Zhang Yi knew that Zong Cheng might be paying the price for her recklessness.
But no matter what, Zong Cheng will not die. After all, Jing Lu is not dead. There is room for change without death. It is nothing more than Zong's paying more to calm Jing's anger. Of course, these costs will also be transformed. Cheng Zong's anger finally vented on Zong Cheng.
Zong Cheng will most likely live a hard life for several years, Zhang Yi guessed, so this woman's hatred for Qian Chao and those five people must be very strong!
Is it necessary to bring Zong Cheng in when dealing with Qian Chao and others in the future?
Zhang Yi was a little hesitant about this idea. He had already made up his mind to win over Shangguan Hong. It should be said that the more people there were, the better his chances of winning would be. But Zong Cheng and Shangguan Hong were different. Although Shangguan Hong was strong and domineering, But as long as she can be persuaded, she will at least know how to cooperate with each other at critical moments and do her part. But this Zongcheng is different. Although she is smart and good at planning, she has been pampered since she was a child and will not do anything. She must be in a dominant position in everything, which means that unless Zongcheng can give orders in the future, it is best not to involve her.
But Zhang Yi also had another idea. Zong Cheng would suffer a lot now and it would last for many years. He hoped that this woman could become more mature and maybe he could cooperate with her.
In addition to keeping an eye on the movements within the sect recently, Zhang Yi also asked someone to inquire about the news from the Lion Forest. He suspected that what Lou Qingyao took away was a fake egg. As soon as the news came, he would go there immediately. Find Shangguan Hong. But the Lion Forest is far away after all, and the delivery of news always takes a lot of time on the road.
This is about Lou Qingyao who hurried back to the Lion Forest with what she thought was the egg of Qingluan. After her egg was brought back, it was seen by several of her elders. They were all surprised. This must be said about Qian Chao's craftsmanship. It was really brilliant. After seeing it, Lou Qingyao's elders thought that it couldn't be the egg of Qingluan, maybe it was the egg of an ordinary demon bird, but this egg The fluctuations of spiritual energy emitted by the temple were strange, so some people said that the egg of Qingluan was something like that. How could the Wuling Sect be willing to let you, an outsider, take it away? It is estimated that this egg was made by a certain expert in the Wuling Sect. I am deliberately playing tricks on you.
In the end, they asked Lou Qingyao to continue to take care of the egg. Anyway, there was not much time left, but they wanted to see what this thing hatched into.
In this way, Lou Qingyao, who should have been happy, began to spend a short but torturous day in anxiety.
In the end, the egg hatched out. As Lou Qingyao's elders had guessed, it was just an ordinary spiritual bird. It was not a rare thing in the world at all. It was just a bit larger, so the egg was not that big. Small.
After seeing the hatched spirit bird, Lou Qingyao felt the stars flashing in front of her eyes, and her throat felt sweet. Finally, she couldn't hold back a mouthful of blood and spurted out. In order to get Qingluan, she went to Wuling Sect this time and thought she was the best. I endured the humiliation and endured all the hardships, but I didn’t expect that this would be the end!
Next, like Zhang Yi, Lou Qingyao also arranged for people to start inquiring about the situation in Wuling Sect. Looking back on the last day in Broken Heart Valley, neither Shangguan Hong nor Tang Ping seemed to have any flaws, but she must Knowing who finally got that Qingluan, that person was the one who made her happy in vain!
…
Before the news from Lion Forest came, a piece of news let Zhang Yi know that it was time to persuade Shangguan Hong.
This news surprised Zhang Yi for a while. It was Tang Ping, Qian Chao and the five people who actually built the foundation. It was surprising how quickly. Moreover, I heard that there was another one with feathers like green brocade beside Tang Ping. The beautiful bird was something extraordinary at first glance. Tang Ping let it stay on her shoulder and showed off in Shuiyun Valley for a while. It is said that Shangguan Hong's face turned terrifyingly dark when he saw it.
Well, it's time, but it's better to wait a little longer. Going to Shangguanhong now is just to get into trouble with her, so it's better to wait until her anger has dissipated.
…
Shangguan Hong indeed saw Qingluan, but that magnificent and majestic bird landed on Tang Ping's shoulder. And what shocked Shangguan Hong the most was... Tang Ping had already established a foundation!
Ever since Shangguan Hong chased He Suyou halfway in Broken Heart Valley but was defeated and returned home, she had been convinced that the Qingluan egg had fallen into the hands of Lou Qingyao, so she treated Tang Ping There was no longer any interest in the activities between Qian Chao and the other five people. These days, he had been thinking about how to retaliate against Lou Qingyao severely in the future.
When she went out that day, Shangguanhong soon heard an extraordinary chirping of a young bird in the distance. For some reason, this chirping immediately attracted her attention, and she didn't care about anything else she had to do. She followed the chirping of birds in a daze and found that she finally stopped in front of Fairy Guhuo's cave. Outside the cave, Tang Ping and her senior sister Ruoyu were playing with a bird with feathers as gorgeous as green brocade. Although the bird is slightly larger than the falcon, you can tell at a glance that it is still a fledgling. In addition to the beautiful green feathers all over its body, its tail is like a closed folding fan. At that time, Tang Ping and Ruoyu were teasing the bird to fully unfold its tail feathers. After a moment, with a "swipe", a burst of glazed indigo color shone, and the bird's tail feathers unfolded, and each piece was shining. There was a dazzling shimmer, and then it closed again with a flick of the brush.
Tang Ping and Ruoyu were laughing and suddenly saw Shangguan Hong outside, and couldn't help but be slightly startled.
In fact, Shangguan Hong still has some balance in her heart. At least the Lou Qingyao who disgusted her is definitely a joy. She is probably cursing in the lion forest now, but... Although Tang Ping got the Qingluan Egg But this method... Shangguan Hong must have been confused at the time, actually thinking that Tang Ping's method of obtaining Qingluan was a bit disgraceful. However, when Tang Ping saw her, there was no panic in her eyes.
Yes, she has already established the foundation, even faster than her Shangguan Hong. At this time, Tang Ping is a foundation-building monk, why should he show his timidity in front of her?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Hong stamped his feet and turned around and left.
She vowed to make Tang Ping regret it in the future!
