When Ling Linhan popped his head out from behind the bookshelf again, the bookcase that Ling Yao had chopped down before had long disappeared.
But Ling Yao, who was originally imageless, had already stood still, dusting his sleeves expressionlessly, with a majestic attitude.
If Ling Linhan hadn't been able to see the broken pieces left on the ground after the bookcase was chopped, he would have suspected that what he just saw was just his imagination.
However, judging from Ling Yao's behavior after seeing him, at least Ling Yao was not doing any shameful trap. He was just worried about someone disturbing him and was in a hurry.
…
So what was he doing just now? ?
The entire row of bookcases had been emptied, and he couldn't tell what Ling Yao had taken away!
Even more curious!
Seeing Ling Linhan's hesitant look, Ling Yao continued to tighten his expression, trying to make Ling Linhan and the fellow complainers think that everything that just happened was an illusion made up by Ling Linhan himself.
He even showed an expression of doubt and thinking, looking at his "masterpiece" just now, as if he was also confused about what happened here.
That's right! Since I have to be the "villain", I have to be a cold and aloof boss, and I will never give you the impression that I am a funny drama queen! (obviously it is)
Ling Linhan, a tough guy, suddenly felt insane.
The original idea of confronting Ling Yao was aborted, leaving only three questions in his mind: "Who am I, where am I and what just happened?"
Seemingly realizing Ling Linhan's existence, Ling Yao raised his head, glanced at him, and spoke slowly:
"Who did I think...it turned out to be you. We haven't seen each other for a year, but we are still the same."
Stirred by these words, Ling Linhan suddenly woke up and put his body on guard to prevent Ling Yao from making a move.
However, Ling Yao raised his eyebrows and sneered:
"Look, what did I just say? It's really the same as before, without any progress at all.
“Not only is he short of stature, he’s also short of mind.
"Sooner or later we have to have a relationship, otherwise I wouldn't have made a 'five-year agreement'.
"You can use your brain to know that I will definitely not fight you at this time, and let others take advantage of you."
Ling Linhan did not let down his guard, but his eyes moved slightly, as if he was thinking about whether what Ling Yao said was sincere.
Ling Yao didn't mind Ling Linhan's doubts.
Because he also understood that unless Zhong Zhennan died, Ling Linhan would not consider taking action against him for the time being.
No matter how much he didn't believe it, he would never take the initiative to fight with him.
However, it was not comfortable to be constantly being thought about and plotted against, and it also delayed his collection of information.
Just talk to this kid:
"I'm not interested in the grudges between you and Zhong Zhennan at all. I won't use other people's hands to deal with your personal grudges between us. It's too embarrassing.
“However, if you want to ask me to deal with Zhong Zhennan together, I can consider it from the perspective of Jianmen.
"After all, I am not a good person either. When dealing with people like Zhong Zhennan, I will naturally... retaliate with tooth for tooth."
Ling Linhan was shocked by Ling Yao's wave of reverse brainwashing.
Didn't I come to test you, will you join forces with Zhong Zhennan to deal with me?
How come you want to seduce me and take the initiative to deal with Zhong Zhennan?
I don't!
I've yelled and killed you and yet I'm still cooperating with you? Don't I want to lose face? !
He suddenly raised his eyebrows and showed an expression of hatred:
"It's not your turn as an outsider to interfere in the disputes in our college! You are simply..."
"What is it? Isn't it the same trick as Zhong Zhennan tricked Ke Shuyu into dealing with me?"
As a result, Ling Yao spread his hands and didn't take Ling Linhan's rejection seriously at all.
"I'm just talking with my lips, and I don't put in any effort. Whether you can succeed or not depends on your choice.
"If you don't want to, then forget it~
"However, since you don't want me to interfere in your affairs, then please do it yourself and don't provoke our Jianmen.
"I don't have enough time to treat someone as an imaginary enemy and stare at them every day.
"If you have the skills and my big eyes, it's better to weigh the fragments in your hands and get more treasures."
Ling Linhan was so angry after hearing this.
Zhong Zhennan had previously provoked Ke Shuyu and Ling Yao into villainous behavior, and Ling Linhan was naturally unhappy when he saw it.
But Lingyao, as the person involved, wanted to treat the other person the way he was treated, and he didn't secretly use or coerce him, so he really had nothing to say about him.
In addition, Ling Linhan also understood that what Ling Yao just said was actually a deal with him.
As long as Ling Linhan concentrates on dealing with Zhong Zhennan alone and does not have a big conflict with the people of Jianmen, Ling Yao will be happy to hear about it and will never interfere in Zhong Zhennan's affairs.
but!
But what everyone said was just human language. Why was what this young master said so so irritating? ?
What does not make progress mean? What does it mean not to think too much? ! What do you mean by not growing taller? ! I've grown! ! ! (?)
And was the conflict between him and Ling Yao imaginary by himself? !
How he suppressed the Hengnan clan on behalf of his master's family, how he forced his grandfather to hand over the spiritual vein mining rights in the Hengnan area, how he allowed other clans to rob their resources...
It’s all a definite fact!
The most irritating thing is not that your biggest enemy is too powerful, but that they don't realize what wrong they have done to you, let alone treat you as an opponent!
What's even more annoying is that Ling Linhan found that he was at a loss for words regarding Ling Yao's words...
He had a lot of resentment in his heart. But at this stall, he couldn't bring up those old accounts of the Ling family with Ling Yao...
He wants to avoid angering Ling Yao now, not to anger him! !
This made Ling Linhan so angry that he could not speak with his eyes wide open.
It wasn't until the end that Ling Yao disliked him for not doing business and not looking for the baby to cause trouble. He finally found an outlet and angrily said:
"Do you think everyone is as greedy as you?! Only a fool would pick up sesame seeds and throw away watermelons!"
Looking at the back of Ling Linhan walking away in shame and anger, Ling Yao whistled ruthlessly and showed a bright smile.
——Ha, I get it, it turns out that the crystal fragments are of great use later!
Then I'll save some money~
Thanks for the tidbit, brat!
It turns out that it is much faster for a little fool to let something slip in his own mouth than to complain about it!
Satisfied, Ling Yao put away the bag of mustard seeds that filled the entire bookshelf, hummed a little tune, and happily went to other places.
He even began to consider whether to follow this little fool to get information after leaving the library!
Ling Yao continued to explore the library with his spiritual consciousness, trying to see if he could find any more bargains.
Although there are quite a few martial arts collected in the Jianmen Chuan Gong Palace, the world is so vast that there are all kinds of strange techniques. It is unknown whether Patriarch Tianxin may have collected some novel and effective martial arts.
Even if you can't use it yourself, it would be great to sell it to Jianmen in exchange for merit points.
But... it turns out that if you are lucky enough to pick up missing treasures, that is the treatment of the protagonist.
Ling Yao was able to cut off the only cabinet of historical materials in the library, which may have used up all his luck in the maze of corridors.
Not only did he not find a trick secret book that suited him, he didn't even see a cost-effective scroll that could be exchanged for enough points.
The things were all good, but they were of little use to him. How could he be willing to exchange crystal energy for them?
Compared to Ling Linhan, who was holding a tome that was of great use with a smile on his face, Ling Yao looked at the other party with a resentful look for a long time, which scared Ling Linhan away.
cut. coward. Paranoia of persecution.
Of course, during this period, many people appeared in the library one after another.
Faced with the vast sea of cultivation secrets, many people are very excited and want to sweep them all away.
However, those who can come here obviously understand the rules in the corridor maze and treasure house.
While they were happy, they couldn't help but worry about whether the crystal stone had enough energy.
Some people beat their chests and regret that they have consumed too much of their previous treasure trove;
More people are hesitant, not knowing what to choose, let alone whether there are more precious treasures waiting for them behind the library.
But those who have made it this far have obviously reached a consensus
——In the corridor maze, they will not waste time and energy arguing or fighting with others.
Moreover, the collection of books is huge and the number of visitors is limited, so there will be no conflicts.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the library is actually quite relaxed right now.
Ling Yao looked at the several intruding disciples without any guilt, carefully observed him and Ling Linhan, the two people at the highest level, and was surprised and confused by the remains of the bookshelf in the library that looked like they had been hacked away. ,
Hey, this is the secret mechanism left by Patriarch Tianxin, and it has absolutely nothing to do with me, Ling Yao.
Soon, Ling Yao's previous conjecture was verified. People from all walks of life gathered here again and appeared in the library one after another.
As far as Ling Yao could see, he noticed Xiao Hong and Yin Ruobing from Zixian Pavilion, as well as Hu Haiyao and Liu Heming from Shenlong Academy.
Everyone is on guard against each other, watching out for enemies while quickly looking for secrets that are valuable to them.
Ling Yao looked at the gradually dimming light of the crystal in his hand, and then looked at Ling Linhan, who was still wandering around in the library even though nothing happened, feeling a little hesitant in his heart.
He should wait here and gather with the rest of Jianmen to exchange information;
Or should we wait for Ling Linhan's actions and quietly follow him?
Or simply set off early to seize the opportunity and seize other resources?
Ling Yao touched his chin.
OK, got it.
When you are in doubt, ask the Tucao servant!
[Whether the author has written before or not, what are the tests behind the Land of Inheritance? I flipped through it for a long time but didn’t find it]
【Clean your marrow in Tianchi! I mentioned that a long time ago, but I can't find it. I don’t know anything else]
Ling Yao scratched his head secretly: I don't know what the Marrow Cleansing Tianchi is.
But thinking about it, this is probably where Ling Linhan kept the crystal energy for use.
He continued to ask:
[Then why does the protagonist keep wandering around the library? Is there a secret passage here that can go directly to Tianchi? 】
[Hey, Yao Zai, you've gone too far. Didn't you write that the protagonist is here to wait for enough caves to enter the void realm to activate the skill stele in the library pavilion? This was just updated yesterday, why did you forget it?]
Ling Yao: Oh, it seems there are treasures in the library, so I won’t leave yet.
But when he started talking here, the chatters started chatting:
[Hey Yaozai, did you see the update yesterday? Your favorite 01, the painting style collapsed yesterday! Hahahaha so stupid]
[That’s right, and when the author updated it again today, he didn’t mention anything about the big split in 01 before, as if nothing happened]
[Yes, if the chapter hadn’t been there, I would have almost suspected that I had read it wrong]
Ling Yao: Big split? What big split? Why do you still remember that?
Ling Yao thought for a while and decided to play dumb:
[Did the author update yesterday? I refreshed it for a long time but it still didn't come out... The skill stone tablet was also written during yesterday's update? 】
[Oh ho, Dian Niang has had a lot of breakdowns recently. No wonder Yao Zai can’t understand]
[The practice stone tablet is Tianxin’s purpose to test the disciples to see whether it matches their own practice path and whether their understanding of the nature of heaven and earth is sufficient. The higher the match, the more powerful the secrets that can be obtained from the skill stone tablet. 】
[The secrets obtained here do not require the consumption of crystal energy. There are only ten places available for the Kung Fu Stone Monument, so we will definitely grab them when the time comes.]
[Haha, will the protagonist not be able to grab a spot? Another free game for the protagonist... boring]
[Even if the person who took the secret book did not get the final inheritance, he still received Tianxin's favor and would not easily attack his inheritance disciples in the future. Tianxin probably has this purpose]
Ling Yao listened to the explanations from the Tucao guards and probably understood the purpose of the skill stone tablet.
Although Ling Linhan, the "protagonist", will definitely be the biggest beneficiary.
But even if these companions couldn't get the most precious secret book, Patriarch Tianxin gave them some "small gifts", and he had no reason to refuse.
"Ling Yao, what are you doing here?"
A familiar voice suddenly broke into my ears. Ling Yao suddenly trembled and turned to look:
"Ha, you just came. I thought you died on the way... Oops!"
Ke Shuyu's eyes were empty, and he choked Ling Yao behind with his fist:
"Don't you owe me a hammer? I'm seeing you. You've been sitting here for a long time and you haven't made any move.
"Have you got what you want? Once you get it, continue exploring! Don't let us Jianmen hold back!"
Ling Yao rolled his eyes crazily in his heart, despising this guy who despised him as a dragster every day.
It’s hard to say who’s better at it!
But he closed his left eye and turned his right eye to the side, winking at Ke Shuyu:
"Don't be too busy leaving. I have some big news here."
