There were only two people in the quaint hall.
"Although I thought you might come to me, the fact that the child would come with you... is indeed something I never thought about."
"It's not that hard to think of. After all, you also know what kind of person your former student is. At a critical moment, it is natural to put public interests ahead of private interests."
Ling Yao sat in the guest seat, lowered his head and pulled the lid of the tea, and responded casually,
"What's more, he didn't know beforehand that it was you I was looking for. Otherwise, it probably wouldn't be that easy to trick me."
"Haha, doesn't this mean that he trusts you more than I thought? This alone is strange enough.
"But it is true that he is somewhat unhappy with the college now. We are also worried that rushing to help will cause a bigger misunderstanding. We can only think of it as giving him a chance to hone his skills."
Yang Huaili smiled and shook his head.
"I don't know what happened to him at the main hospital...but since Ling Xiaoyou came forward in person, we should have some expression.
"My little friend must have come to visit today and have already prepared many countermeasures for many matters. We are afraid that if we intervene rashly, it will ruin your big plan. I am not talented, so I have to do my best to help my little friend and the Ling family solve their worries. If... It would be great if we could take this opportunity to resolve the misunderstanding."
Ling Yao curled his lips secretly and did not answer.
It is true that Ling Linhan and Shenlong Academy are not happy, but whether this is a misunderstanding or not is hard to say.
Based on Shenlong Academy's principle of cultivating loyal talents for the royal family as much as possible, if other students had been oppressed by Wolong officials, they would have hurriedly jumped out to "do justice" and win people's hearts.
But now, Shenlong Academy knows that You Huanzhi and other families are embarrassing the Ling family, but they are standing still under the pretext of "taking care of Ling Linhan's emotions" and "training students". Isn't it just that they want to find an opportunity to lend a helping hand so that they can exchange it with Ling Linhan? A bigger favor?
Therefore, on this point alone, it is not really a "misunderstanding", it is already an obvious calculation.
Not to mention those setups in the past... As the dean of the branch who had "taken great care" of Ling Linhan at the beginning, and is also the best bridge for Ling Linhan and Shenlong College to re-establish communication, Yang Huaili could not "have any influence on Shenlong College". Arrangement" Ling Linhan's plan knew nothing about it, and he should know that there was no "misunderstanding" among them.
However, Yang Huaili didn't know how much Ling Yao knew at the moment, and he couldn't guess what the relationship between the two was, so he pretended to be confused and tried every means to get words out of him.
Naturally, Ling Yao will not be easily tricked:
"Sir is a very busy man and can't spare any time to take care of these little noisy things. That's why I want to bring over an acquaintance of my husband to give myself some weight. But when I come today, I have no intention of troubling you. I just want to bring him over." Let me give you a briefing, sir.
"After all, this junior also knows that those incompetent guys in the branch and the official system can't be dealt with. If this junior's side makes things big, and those blind and mad dogs bite you randomly, you can be implicated. It’s not good.”
Translated into Mandarin, it is - "I don't plan for you to help at all. This matter can only benefit you and not harm you. Do what you should do. When the matter is done, just help wipe your butt. Don't bother me." "
Well, what to say to whom. Anyway, the other party will definitely understand, so don’t speak too harshly on the surface.
As expected, Yang Huaili just smiled and shook his head:
"When it comes to this matter, I can only be respectful rather than obey."
Shenlong Academy and the royal family of Wolong Kingdom complement each other, but the people below may not be so friendly and pleasant to get along with.
No matter how powerful and well-connected Yang Huaili is, in the final analysis, he is just a dean of the Southeast Branch. He can only manage one-third of an acre of land in the branch, and has no real power outside.
On the other hand, a fat pig like You Huanzhi, with the title of a state capital, can control the wind and rain, enjoy food and drink, and become a local emperor - this comparison makes normal people think Can't stand it.
At present, in order to resist oppression, the Ling family wants to overthrow You Huanzhi and beat other families. But he can pick up the pieces behind the Ling family, take advantage of You Huanzhi's downfall, arrange his own men, and stabilize his power in the southeast. status.
The only problem was that it was not Ling Linhan who came to attack him, but Ling Yao.
What Ling Yao said was not the favor that Ling Linhan and the Ling family owed to Shenlong Academy, but the favor that Yang Huaili owed to the Ling family and Ling Yao.
There is no way, who can give someone the confidence to be a thief?
This is also the reason why he doesn't want Ling Linhan and Ling Yao to appear here together. If Ling Linhan comes alone, it will be too easy to deceive.
But even though things were going a little deviated from the plan at the moment, he didn't lose anything in the end. And with Ling Yao's blessing, maybe things will be more stable.
As for the matter of sitting back and enjoying the benefits, no matter how harsh the other party's words are, he has no reason to push out the benefits.
Seeing that Yang Huaili was interested, Ling Yao naturally exposed this article and chatted with others about other trends in the southeast region, trying to lighten the atmosphere a little, so that it would appear that he was not just rushing to the door to fuck someone. Announced.
Yang Huaili naturally knew what Ling Yao meant, and he didn't mind chatting with Ling Yao a little more - putting aside those twists and turns, chatting with someone of Ling Yao's level was more interesting than others. .
Probably because they had exhausted all the possible topics, Yang Huaili suddenly changed the topic and asked:
"We have been chatting for so long, wouldn't it be a bit... to leave Linhan alone in the martial arts training ground?"
Ling Yao almost burst out laughing - Good guy, you know we have been chatting for so long, and now you remember that someone has been left out?
At first, I didn’t know who was asking him to talk to him in order to distract Ling Linhan. He first suggested that Ling Linhan, who couldn’t get a word in, was sitting on pins and needles and was too embarrassed to leave, go to the martial arts training ground connected to the branch at the back to meet his other students. Just for fun.
This is because I feel that I really can't find any breakthrough here, and I want to start directly from Ling Linhan's side.
Even if there are no small moves, you can still show off "the good learning style and spirit of unity and friendship of Shenlong Academy" in front of Ling Yao and observe Ling Yao's reaction.
This kind of approach cannot even be called a "calculation", it is just the way people like them seek advantages, avoid disadvantages, and figure out people's hearts are engraved in their bones.
However, the words have been handed over to me. Ling Yao, who complained about "Ling Linhan slaps the old senior in the face and pretends to be an old senior to attract fans and a primary school girl's live broadcast of the competition", actually really wants to go live to see the so-called "famous scene of the protagonist" .
It's rare for the protagonist to "pretend" and not be a "victim". This excitement is all in vain!
Therefore, he naturally follows the good path:
"I had such a great time chatting with you, sir, that I actually forgot about the time. If you didn't mention it, sir, I almost forgot about this. If sir, you don't mind, you can also take this junior to the martial arts training ground to meet the young talents of Shenlong Academy, right?"
"Hahaha, compared to Little Friend Ling, they are far behind. Maybe when the time comes, I will ask Little Friend Ling to give them some pointers. Come on, please."
"I don't dare to take it. I don't dare to take it. Please go ahead, sir."
I won’t give real advice when I give advice, so I will just find something I can see and praise it. After all, he is an "outsider". Even disciples from different peaks in Changling Sword Sect will not easily criticize other people's good or bad opinions. No matter how right they are, they will inevitably make people hate them.
Teaching students for Yang Huaili but also causing a wave of hatred? If you give me money, he will rush to do silly things.
However, Yang Huaili had "no good intentions" and he himself was just waiting to "gloat". Think about the "plot development" mentioned by the complainers...it really came to the scene, hehehehe...
…
[He just had a headache from listening to Ling Yao, so he followed Dean Yang's suggestion and went back to the branch's martial arts training ground to see his juniors and reminisce about the past.
Although he had no background or support, and his age and cultivation were not as good as those of his peers. When he first entered the academy, many people despised him and ostracized him.
But he never gave up on himself, and the college never gave up on him.
In the college, he met teachers who cared for him and like-minded partners; he established his own student force and worked together for a goal; he became the strongest in the college, and broke into the main college to study with his friends... …
Every scene is so vivid, as if everything happened yesterday.
But he has been away from here for five or six years, and he is no longer the naive and ignorant self he used to be.
It's really... touching and emotional.
However, he didn't expect that before he was satisfied with the touching scene, the scene-shaking thing came first.
"Hey, what are you looking at! This is the territory of the Five Elements Alliance! Leave now!!"
Ling Linhan turned his head inexplicably, pointed at himself, and showed a confused expression.
"Why are you pretending to be stupid? Who else is here besides you?"
Seeing the confident, arrogant and domineering look on the little man's face, Ling Linhan lowered his head and glanced at the five-pointed star badge on his clothes:
"Are you... from the Five Elements Alliance? Isn't the training ground shared by everyone? How..."
"Huh?! How did you get in here? Don't you know that our Five Elements Alliance is the strongest student force in the inner courtyard? Whatever is public or not, it belongs to us if our Five Elements Alliance likes it! Do you still want to use this area? Let’s pass our entrance exam first and then talk about it!”
Ling Linhan was confused. Of course he knows that the Five Elements Alliance is the strongest force in the inner courtyard of the branch - this is the student alliance that he and Xu Anyang jointly founded!
For Ling Linhan, the little man in front of him was also a new face - this was not surprising. After all, the people who had some potential in the Five Elements Alliance all entered the main hospital with him. Those who stayed in the branch were not familiar with him, and he had never seen the new people he recruited.
But the problem is... the original purpose of the Five Elements Alliance was to resist the overbearing inner court students and prevent the inner court seniors from seizing resources and forming cliques. Because of this, its power is not as powerful as other forces. He calls himself a "gang" like that, but uses the word "alliance" to express his original intention.
But looking at the current situation... Is it possible that after he left, the Five Elements Alliance eventually became a resource monopoly, and even acted more unscrupulously than the previous seniors in its own behemoth posture?
You know, no matter how arrogant those seniors were back then, they didn't even try to seize ordinary training sites like the martial arts training ground!
It was probably because Ling Linhan's expression was too shocked that the little man felt that the person opposite him was an unreasonable fool. He even found it annoying to say more than a few words, let alone take action, so he showed off with an expression full of disgust. He waved his hand and said:
"Forget it, I see you are a stranger, so I won't argue with you! Get out! That's where you can be used!"
Ling Linhan glanced in the direction pointed by the other party.
The martial arts training ground where Ling Linhan is standing now is just a place where wooden stakes and targets are erected, ordinary iron weapons are stacked, and various types of martial arts arenas are arranged.
But the "martial arts training field" not far away is more like an undeveloped wasteland - let alone any basic training equipment, even the soil on the ground has not been compacted.
But compared to the empty space here, that "wasteland" was actually overcrowded. Although those people can only use their skills on the ground, or barely clear a small area to help each other.
Ling Linhan blurted out the words before he had time to think too much:
"Isn't this a bit too much? How can I practice in such a small place?"
What he said was just something he felt, and it was more disbelief than accusation. But to the little man's ears, it sounded a bit provocative. The little man immediately raised his eyebrows and took out his handy weapon:
"What do you mean? I kindly let you go, but you're trying to push yourself to the limit?! If you don't like it, get out!"
"But the Five Elements Alliance is too..."
"How dare you comment on the actions of our Five Elements Alliance without looking at how much you weigh? Are you the one who can point fingers at the Five Elements Alliance?!"
"What's going on? Liaozi, what's going on? Who is this person?"
Before Ling Linhan could answer, a round figure ran over from a distance, the flesh on his belly bumping, which made people feel a little disgusted and at the same time so funny that they couldn't take their eyes away.
"Someone is causing trouble for our Five Elements Alliance! I was planning to teach him a lesson!"
And behind the fat man, a large group of people also came over:
"What? Who is so ignorant that he dares to fight against our people?"
The fat man frowned, showing an angry expression, and turned to look at Ling Linhan,
"Just you? A brat with no cultivation? Are you tired of living? Don't you know who is the boss of our branch?!"
Ling Linhan looked around and saw that everyone who came was wearing the badge of the Five Elements Alliance on their chest, proving their identity.
He took a deep breath:
"Who is the current president of the Five Elements Alliance? I want to talk to him."
However, what awaited him was a series of sarcastic laughter.
"Hahahahaha, did you hear that? This kid has gone crazy, and he still wants to find our president! Do you still want to talk? Are you worthy? See if you are worthy?! You are not even worthy of carrying my shoes, and you still want to talk to us President, let’s talk?! Hahahahaha!!”
Ling Linhan felt that his anger had reached the upper limit of the threshold, and he was just missing the final kick. He could only suppress his emotions and said kind words for the last time:
"The academy has opened the resources that allow competition to everyone. Everyone uses their own methods. I have nothing to say. But why does the Five Elements Alliance even occupy public resources such as the martial arts training ground? Isn't this bullying others? This is different from those who were against the Five Elements Alliance in the past. What’s the difference between people?”
"Difference? Of course there is a difference! That's a huge difference!"
The fat man shook the fat on his face and showed a disgusting sneer.
"The difference is that our Five Elements Alliance is stronger than any of them! We can occupy whatever resources we want, and we can use our power to bully others if we want to bully others! Can you control it?! I will burn them now, you So what can I do? Huh?!”
After that, he raised his right hand and pointed towards the "wasteland", and a fiery red shadow swooped down from the sky, carrying a scorching wave of air, and rushed towards the unsuspecting crowd!
"Red dragon! It's the red dragon raised by Xie Ming! It's going to attack us!"
"That one next to you is Ye Yuzhe! There are other people from the Five Elements Alliance behind him!"
"Run!! Run!!!"
Listening to the panic and curses from the crowd, Xie Ming showed an expression of enjoyment. He liked this condescending sound so much, listening to others wail in pain - it gave him a wonderful feeling of being in control of everything.
He deliberately spent a lot of money to buy this fifth-level monster as his domesticated monster pet. It not only enhanced his combat power, but also allowed him to crush people of his own age at such moments and gain their fear and awe.
However, Ye Yuzhe, who was standing aside, had a blur in front of him at this moment.
"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Listening to this familiar voice, he suddenly realized that the "uncultivated" kid he was staring at had disappeared from the place before he knew it. He rushed out like an arrow and actually overtook him. He caught the extremely fast Chilong and blocked the path of the Chilong! 】
