That night, when Ling Linhan went to find Ling Yao, he saw a certain salted fish packing his package and preparing to run away.
"You want to leave?"
Ling Yao was startled by Ling Linhan's sudden visit, but he didn't intend to hide it:
"Ah? Ah, yes! Anyway, I have completed the commission given to me by the Anqi tribe... I will leave tomorrow, no, tonight!
"No, what are you doing here?"
Ling Linhan didn't know if he came at the right time, so he scratched his head and said:
"I just...wanted to ask you. Is it really what Nan Rong and Qiu said back then? You and Xiao Jinnian already knew it."
Ling Yao glanced at him, but kept moving his hands:
"Is that important? Well, you must be thinking about it after so many days. You must think it's important.
"Then I can only say that Xiao Jinnian and I met the Wolf King for the first time after you had left the Wolf King's cave. And in the end, we did find the lava pool left by the growth of the Flame Golden Lotus in the cave. That has no effect on the Wolf King itself, but is very beneficial to its children.
"So if you go by what I saw and what I inferred, yes, the conclusion I get is the same as what that kid said."
After hearing this, Ling Linhan's face turned obviously dark.
"But! No one knows what the truth is unless you bring the Wolf King back to life.
"You can think whatever you want, it's up to you. But in my opinion, that's all in the past. What you should focus on now is the results and the present.
"No matter what you did, that wolf king must die. That is my goal and my bottom line...Eh? Where is my medicine bag?"
Ling Linhan took a deep breath and seemed to finally let go of a certain thought. But seeing Ling Yao busy and packing things, he couldn't help but ask:
"...Did you do something wrong by leaving in such a hurry?"
"No, absolutely not!"
A certain salted fish pointed to the sky and spoke plausibly,
"I swear to God, if I escaped overnight because of a crime, Ling Linhan would be a pig!"
Ling Linhan: ...I want to beat him to death.
But can't beat it. Angry.
"Ahem, okay... Mainly because I thought about it over and over again. I have already solved the matter you asked me to do, and my goal of coming to Rukawa has almost been completed.
"I came to the Temple of the God King with you just out of personal curiosity and to try my luck. But now that I think about it, this is just trying my luck. With my bad luck, I might encounter bad luck! So I still First……"
"Sure enough, something has been done."
Ling Linhan squinted his eyes.
"...Bah. It's none of your business. Anyway, I won't stay anymore! Now that you have discovered it, you can't even think of leaving this house before I escape."
Ling Yao put the bag on his shoulder, looking like a bandit, and conveniently put a magic talisman on Ling Linhan's forehead, cursing and saying,
"Nan Rong and Qiu, these brats, must have spread the word about me. They just wanted to expose me with the help of others! I should have been ruthless in the first place and killed people to silence them!"
Ling Linhan felt that the talisman stuck to his head and made him feel itchy, and it could really lock him in place, so he couldn't help but raise his hand to grab it.
After hearing Ling Yao's words, the movements of his hands paused:
"Is there someone higher up in the Temple of the God King who wants to talk to you? You have that ice python in hand. Isn't that a good opportunity to take advantage of the situation?"
“The premise is that the opponent can play according to the routine.
"You should also stop being so naive that day. How can you expect the other party to follow your ideas?"
Ling Yao glanced at him with a look of disgust on his face.
"Just look at Nan Rong and Qiu Na, you will know that the Temple of the God King is not a clean place either.
“If I am willing to join the former high priest who invited me and join the Temple of the God King, then that’s it;
"If I refuse, do you think he will kill me and silence me, kill me and silence me, or kill me and silence me?"
Ling Linhan suddenly choked.
The two of them got along so naturally these days that he almost forgot that although he had decided to stay in Liuchuan, Ling Yao would definitely return to Jianmen.
Moreover... the relationship between Jianmen and the Temple of the God King does not seem to be very good.
Even if Ling Yao is willing to stay, once his identity is exposed, he will not get any good results.
Ling Yao would say something to him before leaving, which was already a great honor to him.
After all, once "Yao Lin" suddenly disappears, the people in the Shenwang Temple will definitely become suspicious, and the first person they want to look for will be An Qi's people.
And Ling Linhan, who has been greeted by Ling Yao now, can be prepared for this and prevent the people from the God King Temple from venting their anger on An Qi.
Ling Yao looked around his room again, and after confirming that he hadn't left anything behind, he nodded with satisfaction, turned around and opened the door, mumbling rubbish:
"We meet in the mountains and rivers~ The spring breeze is coming~ I hope you will be blessed... Oh my God!"
As a result, as soon as he opened the door and took two steps out, he was so frightened that he retreated back into the room and slammed the door.
Before Ling Linhan could ask what happened, a white light suddenly cracked on the frame of the door, and the door lock suddenly broke!
With a loud bang, the wooden door, which was not very strong in the first place, was kicked directly to the ground!
So fierce!
Ling Linhan opened his mouth slightly and looked at the visitor in surprise.
——It’s actually a woman!
And this face... where has he seen it before?
"Hmph, the sect master knew that you had not returned from Rukawa for many days, and he specifically asked me to stop by and take care of you. I didn't expect that you are a good boy, hiding here and falling in love with a man!"
Ling Yao and Ling Linhan looked confused: ...Huh?
"What? Didn't you say that yourself?"
The woman in green turned her hand and made a sword splash, and then pressed the tip of the sword onto Ling Yao's shoulder.
"We meet in the mountains and rivers, the spring breeze blows in, I hope you will cherish it, the wine is in the cup under the full moon... Don't you want to say goodbye?!
"I thought you wouldn't be able to play with our female disciples, so that would have some merit. But I didn't expect... you guys from Yueyao Peak really don't have any good ones!"
Ling Yao: ...I only know that this is about green mountains that never change, and green waters that flow forever. How did you know that this is a love poem? !
Ling Linhan finally reacted:
"Senior Qu from Jianmen!"
Isn't this hot-tempered person the arch-enemy of Master Ling Yao, Qiu Tianming, and the master of Riyao Peak, Qu Qianling!
Qu Qianling glanced at Ling Linhan:
"Oh? He actually knows me?"
Immediately she reached out her hand and tore off the talisman on his forehead, revealing Ling Linhan's face.
"Isn't this the junior from Shenlong Academy who saved your life? Are you offering your life to save your life?"
Ling Yao felt that although he was extremely afraid of this uncle who held a grudge against Yueyao Peak, if he didn't explain, he would really be killed in Jianmen:
"No, uncle...this is my younger brother, and he has a wife..."
"I'm not married yet."
Ling Linhan suddenly added.
Ling Yao almost died on the spot: What's the point of worrying about the details at this time! ! Are you implying, uncle, that you are not married yet, so you can be with me? !
Qu Qianling saw that Ling Yao looked hopeless, and seemed to finally be happy and satisfied. She patted Ling Yao's hand with the tip of her sword and finally took back her sword.
"Hmph. You are better off looking for whoever you want than Qiu Tianming who could never find a wife in his life."
Then she finally looked at Ling Yao:
"It's okay. At least you've managed to reach the Pure Realm. Otherwise, I'll report to the sect master when I go back and tell you that you're in Ruchuan just having sex with men, and you're not making any progress at all!"
Ling Yao knew that the other party was really unreasonable and could only make the other party comfortable, so he exaggerated his expression and said with a sad face:
"Uncle, can we not mention this matter..."
You clearly want to use this matter to embarrass my master!
Qu Qianling didn't answer, turned around, found a wooden chair and sat down, with her legs crossed on the armrests, but her face was completely indifferent:
"Okay. I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I'm just staying in Rukawa. Why do you want to leave suddenly? Just because you just said that someone from the God King Temple invited you?"
Seeing that Qu Qianling finally changed the topic, Ling Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly explained:
"Ruchuan excludes outsiders, so in Anqi I used the identity of a local who had been away from Liuchuan for many years, and I used it when I came to the God King Temple. Only he knew about this."
Ling Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at Ling Linhan, and then continued:
"But recently we met a kid named Nanrong Heqiu, who is the youngest priest of the Temple of God. He has the ability to read memories, and he was investigating a previous case of the death of a priest candidate... Well, that is indeed the same as We have some kind of relationship.
"In short, he is now beginning to doubt our identities and told the former high priest that I can control a snake. Now the one who invites me seems to want to win over me..."
Qu Qianling knocked on the table with her knuckles:
"So you're afraid that your identity will be revealed, so you're cowardly and want to run away? There's no hope! Where's the snake?"
"That...because it was the snake's hand that killed the priest candidate before, and it carried the mark traced by the Temple of the God King, so I...sent it away."
Ling Yao did not hide his cowardly attitude at all, and he even felt that he could pretend to be more cowardly in front of this great uncle.
——You are here, help me solve the problem! You can calm down the situation for me or take me away, it doesn't matter!
"Oh, you still have some brains."
Qu Qianling sneered, stretched out her hand,
"It's rare for a disciple to stay in the Temple of the God King for so long. What's the harvest?"
Under Ling Linhan's blank gaze, Ling Yao took out a stack of manuscript paper from the mustard bag and handed it to Qu Qianling respectfully:
"Here are topographic maps, palace distribution maps, as well as some personnel within the Temple of the God King, the forces behind them, and their interpersonal relationships."
Ling Linhan:? ? ? How come I don’t know about all the things you’ve done in the past few days? What about the salted fish you promised?
"It's not bad. It fills the gap in Rukawa's information. It's a pity that this opportunity is hard to find."
Qu Qianling rolled her eyes casually and put it into her mustard seed bag.
"But that's not enough. I need something more."
Ling Yao noticed the "I" in her words and knew that this was about why Qu Qianling wanted to go to Liuchuan - after all, she had said before that it was just a matter of course that she came to check on him.
"I want to investigate the specific truth behind the attack on me near Rukawa."
Ling Yao's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Although he didn't like to inquire too much about the affairs of his elders, he also knew that the reason why this great uncle was so at odds with his master was not only the long-standing grudge between the Sun and Moon Peaks, but also because Qu Qianling was raped by Sun Yao Fengfeng. Before the master accepted him as his direct disciple, he was attacked and his foundation was damaged - and this matter was probably related to his master.
Uncle Master is here to investigate this time...will he not be able to help but kill him to vent his anger during the investigation?
However, Qu Qianling hasn't finished her words yet:
"Also, there is a holy spring in the Temple of the God King, and I need to use the water there."
boom--!
Ling Yao, who had read the travel notes of Ruchuan, was confused.
"But the Holy Spring, even the current high priest can only access it during the sacrificial ceremony? It's impossible for us to get it, right?"
Ling Linhan said.
Qu Qianling glanced at him. I thought to myself that I didn't intend to let you get involved, and it would be over if I silenced you. I didn't expect you to be quite self-conscious, so just save your life.
"Can't get it? Then sneak into the God King Temple and steal it!
"Just in time, isn't that Lang Yue looking for you? You have done both things for me at the same time!"
Ling Yao: TAT? ? ? You just won’t let me go! ?
