"Ling Yuandong... Although I don't take him too seriously. But even if he is an ant, he changes his ways and jumps in front of my eyes, unabashedly showing his thoughts that want to kill me... I naturally won't If you turn a blind eye, you should give him something in return.
"I didn't plan to do anything to him personally. I just dug a hole in the ground. As for whether he could walk this way, see the hole, and be willing to jump in, that's none of my business. "
Ling Yao was scraping the scales of the little blue stripe - ah, it's the big blue stripe now - with his hand, and he was answering Xiao Jinnian's question nonchalantly.
"...But you know that nine times out of ten he will jump, right?"
Xiao Jinnian curled his lips, as if he had expected it.
Ling Yao did not answer directly:
“From the moment I found out why he rejected the main family, I knew what kind of person he was.
"Back then, I failed to uphold justice for his father and made peace with him. He resented me, which is normal. Although I had no choice but to do some things, it didn't mean that it was right, let alone force him to do it. Sacrifice and consideration.
"But I was still surprised at that time. What was surprising was not his attitude towards me, but his attitude towards other people in Hengnan.
"If he sincerely believes that my concession to the 'privileged' is unjust and goes against his principles and true intentions, and therefore harbors resentment towards me, then when he holds a high position in Hengnan and is in the same position as me, When the status of the master's family is the same, he should restrain himself and return to etiquette, and use practical actions to prove that he is better than me, and what I do is really just 'selfishness'. If this is the case, he can also be convinced by my words. .
"But he didn't. When he climbed to the 'privileged' class, he not only did not avoid using his 'privilege', but instead acted more recklessly and insisted on his own way. He took risks without considering the safety of other people in Hengnan, and later used his own identity. and status to absolve himself of guilt. Such actions are not only inferior to what I did back then, but are not fundamentally different from what his enemies who killed his father did.
"It can be seen that he does not resent me for not being able to uphold justice, but resents himself for not having the authority like me; it is not the 'privileged' he hates, but the 'privileged' is not him.
"In this case, I will give him another 'good fortune': let him climb higher, have more power, and be exposed to more dark sides... He does not have Ling Xiao's restraint and awe, but he has more power than Ling Xiao. Greater ambition and desire; and his 'immediate boss' is Ling Linhan who values 'justice' and 'fairness' more than I do. What kind of ending do you think he can have?"
Xiao Jinian was not surprised by Ling Yao's remarks - this guy was not someone who wanted to suffer in silence. If Ling Yao was treated so harshly and could still pretend not to know, then he should worry about whether the other party was really weakened by this incident.
"Since you have already made arrangements, I will no longer care about the Ling family's affairs. Let them fend for themselves and suffer the consequences."
Xiao Jinnian curled his lips, but then changed his subject.
"What about the one at Zixian Pavilion? This matter could have been kept under wraps before and became such a big fuss later. It is impossible without her hand. And in the past six months since you were in coma, that woman has been making waves in the public opinion field. Ling Lin Han, that boy has been waiting for you to wake up in Liuchuan. The Ling family is mostly controlled by Yin Ruobing. Look at the reputations of 'murderous demons' and 'colluding with demons' outside. Most of them come from the Ling family. If the news comes out, we know that this woman has no good intentions. We should not let go of this kind of guy."
"Yin Ruobing... has probably joined forces with Shenlong Academy. Otherwise, with the current situation of Zixian Pavilion, she would definitely not have the confidence to plot against me and Changling Sword Sect like this. Although I disdain her shady plots, I have to Admit it, there are also intrigues and intrigues. It was me who underestimated her at the beginning."
Ling Yao lowered his head slightly and patted Dalan Tiao's head.
"However, I haven't figured out how to deal with her yet."
"……ha?!"
Xiao Jinnian, who had his head drooped and looked bored, suddenly froze up and showed an expression of disbelief.
"You seem to be teasing me?? Compared to Ling Yuandong, I think that woman is more hateful! Don't tell me that you don't want to argue with women!"
Ling Yao glanced sideways at Xiao Jinnian:
"You seem to be teasing me, what kind of person would I be? I just haven't figured out what to do yet.
"If Ling Yuandong was just an evil person who contributed to the flames, how could the people who personally participated in the plan and caused the tragedy be so evil? Even if it wasn't for myself, there were nearly a hundred people who died because they were controlled by their inner demons - they were not He will die under the sword of Chengying.
"But because of this... just killing her, or creating an unfounded charge to slander her and belittle her - don't you think it is too light? That is not the punishment she 'deserves' at all.
"And if I did that... what's the difference between what she's doing now?
"Revenge and venting anger are not difficult, at least when it comes to me dealing with her. What is really difficult is how to keep one's 'original heart' and prevent oneself from becoming someone that one disdains. You should...understand what I mean, right?"
Xiao Jinnian scratched his head and relaxed his body:
"Ah...ah. Okay. I probably understand. That's right. If you throw away your principles for revenge, it's not worth it. Although, I just..."
——I just feel a little unwilling.
Unlike Ling Yuandong, Yin Ruobing is cautious and will not put herself at a disadvantage due to temptation. Therefore, excluding those treacherous and arrogant methods, it would be quite difficult for her to receive the "retribution" she deserves.
But he is obviously a victim, but he can only turn himself into a thug so that the perpetrators can get the punishment they deserve. What kind of truth does this make?
And there's another point that Ling Yao didn't mention: With Ling Yao's current public reputation, even if he screws up Yin Ruobing, the stigma on him still won't be eradicated - I'm afraid it will only get worse. , more twisted.
"Hey - look at you, your expression is written all over your face. There is no need to dwell on a small role. If she continues to do such things in the future, sooner or later she will overturn. If you haven't relieved yourself by then, Just give her another push for me.
"As for now, I have tougher guys to deal with."
"More troublesome? Who else...ah. Damn! I almost forgot about that guy!! Not to mention colluding with the demons from outside the territory, he also tricked my brother so miserably! If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't beat that damn old man! Sir, I would have given you a minute Destroyed Shenlong Academy!"
Ling Yao couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinian's angry expression, and felt a little worried in his heart - but from another perspective, he was a little worried that this kid wouldn't be able to calm down and cause a quarrel in the college. , Tian Xi found an excuse to punish him.
"However, with our current strength, isn't it difficult to deal with him? Do you have any ideas?"
Xiao Jinnian suddenly tilted his head and asked seriously.
Good guys, I really want them to be in the Puxiang Realm and deal with Tian Xi, a real Yuan Realm boss!
Ling Yao couldn't help but pinch Qingming's point, and said helplessly:
"Okay. That's my problem. I shouldn't use the word 'deal with', it should be replaced with 'cope with' which is more appropriate... Otherwise, you should find a way to take your teacher and move out of Shenlong Academy for me as soon as possible. , I’m afraid that your brain will be short-circuited and you will go and kill Tian Xi one day..."
"Am I that kind of person!...Your eyes say I am."
"...Thank you, you still know how to steal my lines."
Xiao Jinnian crossed his arms angrily and said:
"Leave me alone. I have my own sense of proportion. I haven't gone back for the past six months, and they can think of me with their butts. If I pretend that nothing happened and have no complaints after I go back, that will make people think too much.
"Besides, I don't think Tian Xi intends to break up with that brat Ling Linhan, but although Ling Linhan probably doesn't have any evidence at hand, he firmly believes that Shenlong Academy is causing trouble, and he seems unwilling to let it go. I'll give it up when the time comes. I pretend to be a communication bridge in the middle. In order to continue to win over Ling Linhan, the college will naturally tolerate me. I am much more familiar with the ninety-nine in the college than you, so you don’t need to worry.
"So... what else does the old man need you to deal with? Is it possible that he can kill you and silence you in front of the big guys at Changling Jianmen?"
"Of course it won't be to kill people and silence them. If he can really make up his mind, there is no need to wait for me to wake up before taking action."
Ling Yao snorted coldly, but suddenly he hugged the ice python's neck, stood up, and looked at the door of the room.
"He just had to come to me in order for the plan to proceed smoothly. Anian, please stay away."
Xiao Jinian stood up with Ling Yao, but he didn't understand what happened. He followed Ling Yao towards the door in confusion. I saw a sudden commotion outside the gate, and powerful and spiritual power fluctuations spread uncontrollably.
Before Xiao Ji Nian could ask anything, he saw Ling Yao wave his sleeves and robe on the side - his eyes blurred, and the scene moved to another corner of the temple, with no one around him.
Xiao Jinian stayed for three seconds.
"Ling Yao, you are riding a horse and you don't even show me the show! I hold a grudge!!!"
