This was the explanation Wan Liancheng had prepared on his way here. Taking advantage of Wan Liang's question, he had no choice but to give his explanation.
Tianxiao is a smart man, and Wan Liancheng himself knows this well. If Tianxiao didn't know how to read people's expressions, he wouldn't have survived to this day in the Tianlong Sect, given his status.
Faced with Wan Liancheng's initiative in showing goodwill.
In front of so many senior brothers, Tianxiao smiled faintly and nodded, saying, "Of course I can't blame Master. I don't have the right to. I understand Master's good intentions."
"That's good!" Wan Liancheng nodded in satisfaction. Since both sides understood each other's intentions and were now in a tacit understanding, there was no need for further words. He glanced at the incredibly surprised disciples and said, "From today onwards, Tianxiao will be your junior brother and my last disciple. Anyone who disrespects him is disrespecting me. Do you understand?"
"Master, you mustn't! He's just an outsider!"
Wanliang, the adopted son, was somewhat dumbfounded.
Normally, he is both the senior disciple and Wan Liancheng's most beloved disciple. How come he suddenly has a closed-door junior disciple?
Wouldn't that mean taking all the benefits from him?
"Smack!"
Another slap in the face.
Wan Liancheng has gone to great lengths to curry favor with Tianxiao and obtain the Heavenly Dao Core from him, even taking his adopted son and senior brother into the process.
Facing Wan Liang, whose face was flushed, he said in a warning tone, "Shut your mouth. It seems I've spoiled you too much. Apologize to your junior brother right now!"
Wan Liang immediately felt extremely humiliated.
He covered his swollen face.
She glanced at Tianxiao, who had a cold expression on his face, and showed a look of resentment, but in the end she managed to suppress her hatred and force out an ugly smile.
"I'm sorry, junior brother, I was rude."
"Good, don't do it again next time."
Wan Liancheng patted him on the shoulder and led Tianxiao to the courtyard next door. The two were clearly about to have an important conversation, and Wan Liancheng couldn't wait.
He has shown such great goodwill, shouldn't Tianxiao hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao to him?
He had a very good impression of Tianxiao's tact and understanding.
Therefore, I subconsciously felt that Tianxiao would soon hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao.
Meanwhile, Wan Liang and the others all cast resentful glances at Tian Xiao's retreating figure. This included all the disciples who were close to Wan Liang; they all shared the same attitude.
Lin Jinglong and Huangfu Kong waited outside the mansion.
Seeing what was happening in the courtyard, the two exchanged a glance, and Huangfu Kong whispered, "It seems that Wan Liancheng wants to isolate Tianxiao among the disciples."
"In this way, Tianxiao can only rely on him as his master, otherwise he might die at any time at the hands of the humiliated Wanliang or other disciples."
Having served as the Grand Elder his entire life, Huangfu Kong was extremely familiar with such methods and saw through Wan Liancheng's plan at a glance.
Lin Jinglong had a faint, cold smile on his lips.
"It's good to give Wan Liancheng some confidence, so he won't become suspicious. I've already arranged for Tianxiao to ask Wan Liancheng for an elder's position. If he can't become an elder, then we won't hand over the Heavenly Dao Core."
"Won't things fall apart?"
Huangfu Kong was somewhat worried.
Lin Jinglong shrugged and said casually, "It doesn't matter if we tear off the mask. It's just that Tianxiao will die. He's not that valuable to me, but he's a pawn worth using to gain the greatest benefit."
Huangfu Kong deeply agreed.
Due to their true identities, they have virtually no connections with the various forces in the upper realm. If there is a pawn they can control, then...
Especially Tianxiao, a true disciple of the Tianlong Sect.
It can play a significant role in the future.
This is also why the Blood Killing Society attaches great importance to Tianxiao.
As for Lin Jinglong, although he wasn't as eager as the Blood Killers and preferred to rely more on his own strength, it would be even better if Tianxiao could play a role.
Outside the door, Wan Liang and the others turned their gazes toward Lin Jinglong and his group, and someone next to him frowned.
He immediately started flattering her.
"Senior Brother, these people seem to be subordinates brought by Tianxiao. They are lowly commoners he recruited from the lower realm. I didn't expect them to bring our stronghold with them. I chased them away."
"stop!"
Wan Liang said with a gloomy expression.
The sycophantic young disciple looked at him awkwardly.
"Senior Brother?"
"Have you forgotten what Master said? Tianxiao is already our junior brother and his most beloved disciple. If you dare to go against Tianxiao, then you are going against me."
The eldest brother said meaningfully.
Lin Jinglong and Huangfu Kong also glanced at the people in the courtyard.
Huangfu Kong continued in a low voice, "Wan Liang intends to attack us, but he can't let his junior brothers attack us in front of him. Otherwise, he would be the one to provoke Wan Liancheng's authority."
"I reckon soon some clever junior brothers will secretly make their move against us, and then tacitly take credit for it to Wan Liang."
Huangfu Kong saw through Wan Liang's hypocritical nature.
It's easy to guess that there are some clever people in this group who will definitely take action against them to avenge Wan Liang.
Lin Jinglong gave Wan Liang a deep look.
"Let's withdraw first and let Tianxiao negotiate with Wan Liancheng. We don't need to pay too much attention to it."
After he finished speaking, he led the nine clans of the Heavenly Dao to retreat.
Wan Liang's expression was cold as he watched the backs of the group. Soon, another person appeared beside him and said in a telepathic voice, "Senior Brother, I'll go teach them a lesson. I will never let this matter involve you."
Wan Liang did not respond.
But the lack of response is the biggest response in itself.
So the person who sent the message quietly left the courtyard, their figure blending into the streets of Thousand Star City, becoming invisible like a chameleon.
However, they underestimated Lin Jinglong and his team's abilities.
"A mere few mortals? With my strength as a third-tier True Monarch, I can easily kill them and vent my anger for my senior brother!"
The person following him muttered to himself.
Wan Liang, standing behind, turned his gaze to the courtyard where Tian Xiao and Wan Liancheng were talking, a look of resentment and malice appearing in his eyes.
"I wonder what kind of spell Tianxiao cast on Master. Let's kill a few of his lowly henchmen first, so he'll understand who's really in charge here!"
Wan Liang took a deep breath and muttered to himself in a gloomy tone.
Meanwhile, Tianxiao and Wan Liancheng's conversation was also coming to an end.
Wan Liancheng frowned as he looked at Tianxiao.
"You're saying you're unwilling to hand over the Heavenly Dao Core?"
Subtly, Wan Liancheng, who had always been very kind to Tianxiao, now had a murderous glint in his eyes.
Tianxiao could naturally sense the change in his attitude, but he still held his breath, thinking of Lin Jinglong's teachings. If he didn't hand over the core of the Heavenly Dao, then nothing would happen.
If he hands over the core, he will die!
