After Ling Yao returned to Jianmen, until he reached the peak of Dongxu Earth Tribulation, all the events in the past three years were not mentioned except for two major events that happened here.
The first is the correspondence between the head of the Ling family, Ling Weiran, and him.
Naturally, Ling Weiran did not dare to be careless about the problems that Ling Yao mentioned to Ling Weiran before and were investigated by Ling Linhan, so he sent someone to investigate again.
According to the clues, we can find some clues. Indeed, some people had previously concealed the information from their master, and secretly used the master's power to suppress the Hengnan branch.
However, a large number of participants said that they had no impression of this memory.
He didn't even know that Ling Linhan had "talked" to them.
Although it is not ruled out that Ling Linhan himself cleared their memories after "chatting" with these guys, their previous actions should not be easily forgotten.
Especially after those things happened, these people all had more or less mental problems, or their consciousness was damaged.
This makes Ling Weiran and Ling Yao have to suspect that there is indeed a powerful person who has manipulated their words and deeds through mental control.
To be able to make the Ling family search for so long to find this thing, I'm afraid it must be at least a powerful person above the sky-breaking realm.
In this regard, Ling Yao could only ask his uncle to wait and see what happens, secretly collecting more clues, and wait for him to return.
After all, the strength of the little Ling family is really not enough to deal with a big shot of this level.
And this second one was a message sent to him by Xiao Jinnian.
Although most of what this guy wrote was random gossip, or asking Lingyao to bring greetings and gifts to Liu Yuya... But his internal investigation within Shenlong Academy finally made some progress.
“Other teachers from that program finally revealed something to me recently.
“Dragon Academy seems to have been investigating the deeds of the Era of Renjie in the past few years.
“According to them, the reason why there were so many talented people in that era and all showed their magical abilities was indeed the result of the influence of heaven.
"At that time, the demon clan was coming fiercely, and the great world of Mang Sheng was in urgent need of top talents to stop the invasion. The laws of heaven were moving, so opportunities and blessings came, and a large number of geniuses were created.
"The most shining and representative one among them is called by those researchers - 'the one blessed by heaven'.
“My teacher was considered the core figure in the project research, and he discovered many key clues.
"But when Shenlong Academy wanted to apply these theoretical laws, he strongly opposed it and even destroyed a lot of information without authorization, which was why he was completely imprisoned by the academy.
"The teacher told me not to get involved in these things, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to provide you with other clues.
"However, I just recently discovered that Shenlong Academy seems to be paying too much attention to your Ling family.
"Although it's possible that they wanted to monitor the Ling family and wait for trouble because that brat Ling Linhan skipped school without authorization and lost contact. But I always feel that things are not that simple. You have to be careful."
That's right, that little brat Ling Linhan was skipping school to get some training.
He didn't even bring anyone with him, including Ling Feiyu, Xu Anyang, and Yue Qingying.
Although Ling Yao himself is the "culprit", he and Ling Linhan have never been in contact with each other. Naturally, he doesn't know where Ling Linhan went...
"Senior Brother Ling! Your letter!"
But Ling Weiran only sent letters three times a month to avoid suspicion.
And didn’t Xiao Ji Nian’s letter arrive just two days ago?
The little man who delivered the message was jumping around under the tree, as if he could pull down Ling Yao who was hanging on the tree to bask in the sun:
"It's no joke! It's from the Liuchuan Forest Area! There's a snake totem on the envelope! When did Senior Brother Ling get to know the people in Liuchuan? That's amazing!"
Ling Yao had a bit of an ominous premonition.
He finally moved his gaze to his junior brother at Yueyao Peak, only to hear the other party continue to shout:
"Huh? Isn't it yours? Let me take a look. The signature is... Han Hanlin!"
...Don’t think that because you changed your name from AAB to BBA, I don’t know who you are!
"I know, you should send it to me, you..."
Ling Yao stood up from the tree branch and was about to jump off the tree gracefully when he heard his junior brother continue to shout very loudly:
"It has the word '囍' on it! It's a wedding invitation!"
Swish - poof!
Suddenly something fell heavily from the sky-covering giant tree on the top of Yueyao Peak. The entire tree crown shook, and its green leaves fell one after another.
"Eh? Senior Brother Ling? Where are you, Senior Brother Ling?"
The stupid little junior brother held up the red wedding invitation and looked around at a loss.
Oh no!
Suddenly, there was a movement in the bushes under the tree, and he immediately moved his gaze there.
But Senior Brother Ling Yaoling, who had disappeared just now, suddenly stood in front of him at this moment, took the wedding invitation from his hand expressionlessly, and waved to him:
"Okay, I accept the letter. You go and have fun."
The junior brother nodded obediently and ran away.
Wow, even though Senior Brother Ling sleeps in trees all day long, his level of cultivation is still unmatched.
Moreover, every move reveals an elegant and free spirit!
It would be better if there weren’t so many leaves stuck to the head!
Ling Yao didn't care whether he looked miserable after falling from the tree. With twitching eyelids, he opened the envelope with the words "Dear Brother" and pulled out the gilded red card:
[Submitted by: Ling Yao
Groom: Han Hanlin
Bride: Lou Yueniang
Time: XXXXXX
Location: Jiling Terrace, Anqizhai, Wulong Mountain, Ruchuan
Preparing for the wedding banquet, please come]
Ling Mou, a single young man who was about to turn 23, almost cried.
Is there any justice?
Ling Linhan, this brat, just wanted to prepare a harem, but she got married before him? ! Go crazy!
Even if the world of Mang Sheng is not like the world of Tucaoya and theirs, how old do you need to be before you can get married?
But a kid under the age of 18 marries a wife! It's too early!
and……
Even if you want to get married, what does it have to do with me? Is my relationship with you good? !
If you want to trick me into following the others... there's no way!
Ling Yao picked up a small Fiery Fire Jue and was about to put the seal inside.
However, the moment Xi Tie came close to the flame, he happened to see one word written on the back of the card:
【one】
According to the rules of the Rukawa Forest Area, the first invitation written by a newlywed when they get married must have a serial number on the back to show the importance of this person.
And this guest will also receive the most distinguished guest treatment at the wedding banquet.
Ling Yao was stunned for a moment, then silently extinguished the flame, put the card back into the envelope and stuffed it into the mustard bag.
…
"Are you going to go out for training? Or the Rukawa Forest Area? That is not a safe place."
Qiu Tianming stood in the small courtyard, looking up at a small tree in the corner of the courtyard.
"Yes. I have been in seclusion in Jianmen for a long time, and I just feel like I am missing something if I only practice around. It happened that a friend called me for something, and I was about to go to the Liuchuan Forest Area to explore, so I decided to go."
Ling Yao didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his master, so he naturally explained the reason respectfully.
Of course, he was not fooling his master, but his own cultivation had indeed reached the bottleneck of the peak of Dongxu.
At this time, it is meaningless to rely on seclusion alone. It is only a matter of time before you go out to experience.
It's just that he chose the Liuchuan Forest Area, which made Qiu Tianming uneasy.
But Qiu Tianming is not a dictator either. Now that Ling Yao had made up his mind, his disciple indeed needed more dangerous experience, so he simply let him go.
"It's the same sentence. Think twice before acting, be cautious. Don't say it again... Well, you may not be able to listen to me.
"But the water in Rukawa is too deep. Although you are very clear-minded, you will inevitably be implicated in the personal grievances and grievances involved. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, get out of it as soon as possible."
"Disciple understands."
Yes, it was precisely because of the depth of water in the Liuchuan area that the conflicts between humans and monsters were extremely complicated, and the disputes between humans were also chaotic enough that he would "trick" a young boy like Ling Linhan into learning more. .
If that kid is still as indifferent to people as before, showing great kindness to monsters and beasts, and thinking that everything will go according to his own ideas, he will definitely suffer disaster there.
Moreover, he warned Ling Linhan again and again not to go to the Liuchuan Forest Area.
If something really happened, Ling Linhan would never vent his anger on him.
Ling Yao simply packed his luggage, left Yueyao Peak, and went down to the mountain gate of Changling Jianmen.
He was not in a hurry to go to Liuchuan, but turned back and went back to Ling's house first.
This time he went back without any fanfare and only met Ling Weiran alone.
As expected, Ling Weiran has been investigating what happened back then in recent years.
However, due to the limitations of cultivation level and the numerous affairs within the clan, nothing new could be found after going over and over again.
Ling Yao could only suggest that he keep his master's archives in a safe place to prevent anyone from confusing right and wrong and destroying the evidence completely.
In addition, he also confirmed that although Ling Linhan returned to the Ling family to see his grandfather before leaving the academy and going to Liuchuan, no one in the Ling family received a message from Ling Linhan this time.
It is more difficult to check the Shenlong Academy, but judging from Ling Yao's anonymity and hiding in Liuchuan for training, the chance of him actively leaking information to the academy is very small.
And Yue Qingying, the little harem beauty, is still in the academy!
If Ling Linhan dared to send the invitation to the students of the college, even Ling Yao would respect him as a man.
I am afraid that I am the only one who received the wedding invitation.
So why did Ling Linhan send him a wedding invitation alone?
Could it be that after experiencing a dispute, he suddenly developed feelings for his cheap brother and wanted to show his brotherly love?
Ling Yao didn't believe it even if he wrote his name backwards.
Ling Linhan learned to be an old fox in Liuchuan, hiding a knife in his smile and looking for opportunities to kill him.
But if that were the case, Ling Linhan would never consider herself the first inviter.
Because this is too deliberate, Ling Yao will become suspicious and dare not go to the appointment.
Mix his invitations with other invitations. It is best to write one for everyone, so Ling Yao is most likely to relax his guard.
But the current situation is obviously not the case.
Ling Linhan specially sent him an invitation and treated him as a distinguished guest. He even used a pseudonym...
In all likelihood, he was invited to take the blame for the trouble!
Good guy, after all I am also one of your "life mentors", but you still dare to trick me like this!
See how I deal with you!
Ling Yao set out overnight, walking all the way through the teleportation array, and spent nearly ten days from the Ling family in the southeast corner of the mainland to Shilishan Town in the Liliuchuan Forest District.
He stood on the deserted street, looking at the endless mountain forest behind the mountain town and the poisonous miasma visible to the naked eye, and sighed softly.
It doesn't look like a good place at first glance.
But since he already knew Ling Linhan's little thoughts, why did he come?
First, he can ensure his own safety.
Ling Linhan dared to ask him to come, which means that his current level is enough to deal with this problem.
What's more important is that Ling Linhan has his own plans, and Ling Yao also has his own plans.
Rather than letting Ling Linhan grow wildly in Liuchuan, there is a certain probability that a rupture will be laid between him and Shenlong Academy;
He even wanted to see for himself what this boy had changed into, what the mastermind behind the scenes was doing, and to personally detonate the "dynamite" that broke the relationship!
Didn't Shenlong Academy place monitors around him and arrange for him to have a smooth life?
He has already felt the difference in the uncontrolled area of Rukawa, right?
In addition, isn't Shenlong Academy researching "Destined Ones"? This situation is so similar to Ling Linhan's.
Wouldn't it be nice to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire and let Ling Linhan help Xiao Jinian investigate the research projects of Shenlong Academy?
Language is such a powerful weapon, he must make good use of it.
…
On a brightly lit night, in the most spacious and gorgeous guest room in Anqi Village, Ling Linhan quietly wiped the scabbard of his short sword in front of the candlelight.
Suddenly the candle shadow shook strangely.
"who?"
His voice was soft but urgent. It seems that he is not sure whether it is his hallucination, but he hopes that someone will really come.
However, he didn't get a response for a long time.
He pulled the corner of his mouth with a wry smile and hung the scabbard on the shelf by the window.
It's strange that I obviously hate that guy, but in such a situation, he seems to be the only one I can turn to.
But how could that guy believe it so easily...
"Hey, the ornament on this scabbard is the fang of a white tiger, right? It's quite fashionable."
Ling Linhan was startled, reacted instantly, turned around, drew the knife out of its sheath, and slashed behind him!
