Chapter 022
"Thank you, Brother Ouyang."
Ouyang Zheng looked at Lin Qingyang's expressionless face and sighed helplessly in his heart.
As a neutral faction, he was still troubled by the conflict between the Xuanshi and Puppet factions within the sect.
However, the ideological differences between the two factions were too great, and the resentment had accumulated over the years, which was simply not something that a small disciple like him could reconcile.
Provocations similar to the previous ones happened from time to time between the two factions. In the absence of sufficient evidence, even if he dealt with it, the most he could do was to let the person reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
This would make that person hate Lin Qingyang even more.
It is impossible for him to protect Lin Qingyang all the time. Besides, the Corpse Puppet Sect is not a righteous sect but a crooked one. Although the atmosphere within the sect is not as naked as the law of the jungle like the Demonic Sect, it also respects strength.
It was normal for weak people to be bullied. He helped Lin Qingyang not because Lin Qingyang was weak, but because he was Zhang Yifan's junior. He and Zhang Yifan had a good personal relationship, so he was naturally willing to take care of his junior. Otherwise, he might not have helped in such a situation.
"Senior Brother Ouyang?" Lin Qingyang looked up at him.
Ouyang Zheng came back to his senses and said to him, "I haven't found the right magic fish gold. I want to try somewhere else. Do you still want to stay here?"
Thinking of the empty river, Lin Qingyang shook his head. His main purpose was to stimulate Cheng Hui's talent. Although he failed, he didn't intend to give up.
"Ah ah..." Cheng Hui pulled Lin Qingyang's sleeve with great effort.
Lin Qingyang turned around and saw the bruises on his face, and his expression became even gloomier.
"In that case, why don't we go together?" Ouyang Zheng said kindly.
Lin Qingyang thought about it and felt that it would not do any harm to him, so he agreed.
Ouyang Zheng smiled, and as he and Lin Qingyang walked out, he randomly picked some topics to chat with him.
To his surprise, the more they talked, the more alarmed he became. Clearly, the other person was just a child, yet he had his own unique perspectives on cultivation. Although Lin Qingyang couldn't help him solve some of the problems he encountered in his cultivation, he did offer some ideas for solutions.
"Junior brother, you are truly a genius." Ouyang Zheng exclaimed.
Lin Qingyang smiled without saying anything. Genius? Perhaps...
If he hadn't laid the foundation for more than ten years in his previous life, he would now be just a child with empty talent.
Ouyang Zheng received benefits from Lin Qingyang, and he did not hide them. He shared some of his little tips in cultivation with Lin Qingyang.
While the two were talking, Lin Qingyang did not ignore Cheng Hui. He would look at Cheng Hui from time to time, and his concern was evident in his words.
Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but laugh as he watched from the side. This little junior brother was really a lovesick seed. He was only eight years old and knew how to care so much for his fiancé. Uncle Wuyouzi really had good vision. A little junior brother like this was definitely a natural disciple of Xuanshi Sect!
"Ouyang Zheng!"
As the two were chatting and laughing, a silver light broke through the air and struck Lin Qingyang fiercely.
Cheng Hui had been carefully guarding against the man in green. When he saw Lin Qingyang being attacked, he wanted to block it immediately, but was stopped by Lin Qingyang.
Ouyang Zheng was furious. Someone actually attacked him right in front of him?? ! !
He turned his wrist, and a long sword suddenly came out of its sheath, blocking the silver light with a clang.
"Yang Wenyu! Are you crazy?" Ouyang Zheng yelled angrily.
"Ouyang Zheng, you are crazy! How dare you protect this little girl!" Yang Wenyu, dressed in red, walked out from the darkness in front, with an unconcealable anger on her face.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Ouyang Zheng was extremely dissatisfied with Yang Wenyu's outspokenness.
"I'm talking nonsense?" Yang Wenyu was so angry that she almost laughed. She pointed at Lin Qingyang and said, "If you weren't guilty, why would you have a tryst with her here?"
Tryst? ?
Cheng Hui was very unhappy. What's wrong with this girl? She is pretty, but she can't be blind, right?
What do you mean by a tryst? My child is only this young, what the hell is a tryst?
Can you be more careful when speaking in front of children?
He turned his head to look at Lin Qingyang and couldn't help but remain silent for a moment.
Well... Because of the fight just now, Lin Qingyang's hair and clothes were a little messy. He looked androgynous to begin with, and in the dark he looked more like a girl.
Looking at her state, it really looks like she just finished a tryst with someone...
Cheng Hui: ...Pah! What was I thinking! This woman is the one who misled me!
"Enough! What nonsense are you talking about! This is Zhang Yifan's junior brother!" Ouyang Zheng guessed that Yang Wenyu had misunderstood, so he could only speak with a sullen face.
"What?" Yang Wenyu screamed and couldn't help but look at Lin Qingyang carefully. Only then did she realize that although the child was pretty, if she looked carefully she could still tell that he was a boy.
While Yang Wenyu felt relieved, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
How could a boy be more beautiful than a woman? He is still young now. If he grows up in two years, won't he even be able to compare to her?
Yang Wenyu has always claimed to be the most beautiful woman in the Corpse Puppet Sect, and there are countless people who pursue her because of their strength. However, when she saw Lin Qingyang, who was only eight years old, she felt a sense of crisis, fearing that this child would snatch her title of the most beautiful woman in the future.
Yang Wenyu secretly gritted her teeth. Even Ouyang Zheng, whom she liked, could not attract her attention. After all, Ouyang Zheng was just a man she wanted to conquer but failed to conquer, but Lin Qingyang was her rival in the competition for the most beautiful woman.
"Yang Wenyu, what on earth are you going to do?" Ouyang Zheng noticed Yang Wenyu's jealous eyes and thought to himself that it was not good. This woman's jealousy was simply outrageous. She would cause trouble when she saw those good-looking junior sisters.
Although Lin Qingyang is just a child, and a boy at that, his face that could be described as a disaster has obviously attracted Yang Wenyu's attention.
After being called out by Ouyang Zheng, Yang Wenyu finally stopped staring at Lin Qingyang with that hateful look and looked at Ouyang Zheng with resentment: "Brother Ouyang, why are you hiding from me? Why did you go on a mission with that bitch Shen Shu?"
Ouyang Zheng's two handsome eyebrows wrinkled together. "How can you say that? It seems that it has nothing to do with you who I go on a mission with."
Yang Wenyu's face twisted for a moment, and then she revealed a heartbroken expression: "Senior Brother Ouyang, how could you say that!"
Ouyang Zheng didn't want to talk too much with him, but he also knew that as long as he was blocked by Yang Wenyu, he would definitely not be able to leave for a while.
He didn't want to say anything too harsh in front of the child, so he simply signaled Lin Qingyang to leave first. If he left, he could avoid Yang Wenyu's attention. He knew that there were junior sisters who were prettier than Yang Wenyu in the past, but most of those junior sisters had accidents. If he had no evidence, he would have dealt with this woman long ago.
Before leaving, Lin Qingyang looked at Yang Wenyu deeply, as if he wanted to remember her appearance in his heart.
He turned around and secretly took out the little notebook in his heart and wrote down Yang Wenyu's name on it.
Lin Qingyang was very sensitive to people's malice. Back when he was in the Blood Demon Sect, in addition to those who coveted his beauty, there were many more people who were jealous of his appearance.
He was all too familiar with that look of intense jealousy, and he also saw well-hidden hatred in the woman's eyes.
Ouyang Zheng was a man, and he didn't understand at all that for some women, anyone who was prettier than her was more hateful than the murderer of her father, and this problem could not be solved by simply diverting attention.
Lin Qingyang has no habit of waiting to be beaten. Instead of passively waiting for other people's traps, it is better to solve the problem in advance.
If you can't solve the problem, then you can get rid of the person who caused the problem.
At this point, Yang Wenyu had obviously become a "person prone to trouble", and whenever Lin Qingyang had the chance, he would take action to get rid of her.
"Ah, ah..." Cheng Hui always wanted to tell Lin Qingyang that he had activated his talent, but he had no chance since he came out of the space.
After they left this Yin Qi academy, Lin Qingyang planned to take him to other Yin Qi academies to catch the magic fish Jin. He then found an opportunity and grabbed his arm while no one was around.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingyang asked softly.
Ever since he discovered the wonderful uses of spiritual consciousness, Cheng Hui has liked to use it to check whenever he has time. If it weren't for the fact that keeping his spiritual consciousness open puts too much pressure on him, he would have wanted to keep it open 24 hours a day to prevent being ambushed, peeped at, or eavesdropped on.
However, he didn't expect that when he used his spiritual sense to take precautionary measures, he actually discovered someone hiding not far away.
In addition, two figures came from both sides, obviously intending to ambush them.
"Ah!" Cheng Hui quickly gestured to indicate that there was someone in the dark.
Lin Qingyang understood what he meant. His eyes were dark, but his face was innocent. "Huihui, what's wrong with you? Let's go."
Cheng Hui: ...
I just... can't figure out whether this little brat understands what he means.
However, based on his confidence in the child, he decided to cooperate and continued to walk forward unsteadily.
Lin Qingyang's mouth curled up slightly, but was quickly suppressed by him.
The two men seemed to be walking forward casually, but in fact they had already been on guard secretly.
Cheng Hui's spiritual sense was like a cheat here, and he could see the movements of the three people clearly.
He took Lin Qingyang's hand, sliding his fingertips across his palm, trying to tell him where these people were hiding.
Lin Qingyang felt an itch in his heart when his palm was touched, and he reflexively tightened his grip on Cheng Hui's hand.
Cheng Hui:?
No, how can I give you a secret signal if you hold it so tightly?
A dark light flashed in Lin Qingyang's eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressed the impatience in his heart, and hooked his fingers in Cheng Hui's palm.
Cheng·Straight Man·Hui: ...? ? ? Stop it!
Lin Qingyang: ...
There was a hint of helplessness in his eyes. He had long discovered that his fiancé didn't seem to have that kind of feelings for him.
Although he only looks eight years old now, if Cheng Hui really falls in love with him, he will become a scumbag, but the other party has no idea at all, which makes Lin Qingyang particularly depressed.
Oh, forget it, let's take it slow. After all, I've already made a mark on him, and as time goes by, I'll fall in love with him... Sooner or later, that day will come!
Lin Qingyang touched his face and thought... With a face like this, how could Cheng Hui not be tempted?
