Chapter 218: Forced
Zhang Dongling has practiced for more than 200 years and is proficient in special skills. He is extremely good at observing people's roots, bones and souls.
He saw a few people coming in to buy houses, so he took a casual look and saw the girl Wan Yingying.
Based on his experience, he could tell at a glance that the girl was beautiful and had a special body, which made her extremely extraordinary.
As he activated his special technique, he found that the girl's spiritual aura was mysterious and unpredictable, and it was clear that she was born with a body that could cultivate Taoism.
In terms of qualifications, he was the best he had ever seen in his life.
Even Yun Qingxuan, who was praised by the sect as a genius that appears once in three thousand years, was probably not as talented as this girl.
Of course, he didn't dare to use any special skills to observe Yun Qingxuan, but made this judgment based on his feelings.
Even if this girl has the same talent as Yun Qingxuan, it means there is a 70% to 80% chance that she can achieve a golden elixir, or even a third-grade golden elixir.
For a large sect like Qingyun Sect, every golden elixir seed is extremely precious. Not to mention the chance to condense a seed of the third-grade golden elixir! Just this point alone, the value of the girl is immeasurable.
Zhang Dongling dared to ask for someone directly because he knew that the other party had no background! This is easy to confirm. First of all, Fangya had already investigated the background of the person who could buy a house here and informed him as the owner.
He didn't know anything, but he brought people into his house. What if something went wrong? A young foundation-building person from Lianyun Sect came to Qingyun City at this time. There was no doubt that he wanted to win the championship in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly.
There is still money to buy a house, proving that this young man still has some wealth.
Secondly, just looking at the flow of magic power in Wan Yingying's body, it is clear that she has just condensed her Qi. She is also practicing the extremely ordinary "Taiyuan Refining Qi Jue".
"Tai Yuan Qi Refining Art" is considered a first-class foundation method and is very suitable for beginners.
However, if you really want to have a good teacher, you will never waste time practicing "Tai Yuan Refining Qi Jue".
This shows that Wan Yingying did not receive any guidance from a wise master.
With these two facts, Zhang Dongling could be very sure that Wan Yingying had no background and was just an ordinary girl.
This kind of genius can get extremely generous rewards whether it is given to others or presented to a sect.
As for the girl's own thoughts, it didn't matter at all. She would know later that this was a turning point in her fate, and she would only be endlessly grateful to him.
As the deacon of the Law Enforcement Court of the Qingyun Sect's Feng Department, Zhang Dongling is extremely powerful in Qingyun City.
He had his eyes on Wan Yingying, but there was no need to snatch her away by force. It would be too humiliating, and there was no need for it.
Zhang Dongling said to Zhou Ye, "Go and call your foundation-building guy over. I want to talk to him."
He smiled at Wan Yingying and said, "Little girl, I will accept you as my disciple today."
Wan Yingying was both scared and angry. She knew she shouldn't say anything, but she couldn't help but say, "Wait until my brother comes, and I'll let you know how powerful he is!"
Zhang Dongling really laughed this time, "Great, this little Taoist friend from the Lianyun Sect in the Borderland dares to come to participate in the Qingyun Dharma Assembly, he must be a capable person. I want to see him for myself."
Hearing Zhang Dongling being so confident, Wan Yingying felt guilty. She looked at Zhou Ye eagerly, hoping that the old man could think of a solution.
Zhou Ye's old face was full of bitterness. The other party was a foundation-building cultivator. Moreover, he recognized the Enforcement Court badge on the other party's belt, thinking that he was a deacon of the Enforcement Court.
Among the eight departments and twenty-four academies of Qingyun Sect, the Wind Department's Law Enforcement Department actually handles miscellaneous affairs and its status is not high.
However, the Law Enforcement Court, the Fire Department Patrol Court, and the Mountain Department Guardian Court are jointly responsible for maintaining order in Qingyun City, and they have a huge influence on ordinary cultivators in Qingyun City.
Although Gao Xian is an extremely powerful foundation-building cultivator, he is definitely no match for Zhang Dongling here.
If Zhou Ye thought of this, he should give in and leave Wan Yingying behind. They could discuss how to deal with this after they returned.
Looking at Wan Yingying's expectant face, he felt embarrassed to leave the girl alone.
This Zhang Dongling said he wanted to accept a disciple, but who knows what he is going to do? !
Zhou Ye thought for a moment and said to Daniu, "Go back to Gao Xian and explain the matter clearly."
Although Da Niu was honest, he knew that something was wrong. He nodded vigorously, turned around and quickly walked out the door.
Daniu had been here twice, and since the roads here were well-maintained, he remembered the route back clearly.
After leaving the gate of Anshanfang, Daniu used the wind-controlling technique to hurriedly run back to Chang'an Inn. When he broke into the room, he found Gao Xian talking to a white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man was wearing a dark green pine-patterned robe, with his hair neatly combed. He stood there with his head lowered slightly, looking polite and respectful, but also with a natural and peaceful expression, appearing extremely generous and decent.
Daniu didn't expect that there was a outsider in the room. He was also stunned. He looked at Gao Xian and was hesitant to speak.
Although it was an urgent matter, there were outsiders here and he didn't know whether he should tell them.
Gao Xian nodded slightly to the white-haired old man: "Sorry, something seems to have happened to my people, please wait."
The white-haired old man bowed and nodded quickly: "Please do as you please."
Gao Xian said to Daniu, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
He has known Daniu for a long time and knows that Daniu is a simple and down-to-earth person. He would not be so flustered unless it was an urgent matter.
Daniu said hurriedly, "Brother, there is a cultivator named Zhang Dongling who wants to take Yingying as his disciple. He has detained her and asked you to go over and talk to her."
Gao Xian showed a look of surprise. The other party wanted to take Yingying as his disciple. Could it be that he was attracted by Yingying 's beauty? Yingying was fourteen years old. Although she was still young, she was already bright and beautiful. It was normal for someone to be attracted by her beauty.
He said to the white-haired old man apologetically, "Something happened suddenly, I'll go over to deal with it first. If your master has arrived, please ask him to wait. Or I can go find him later."
The white-haired old man understood this very well. He said respectfully, "Mr. Gao, just go about your business. I will explain to the master."
"Thank you for your help."
Gao Xian said something polite, then he stood up and walked out.
When Gao Xian reached the door, he suddenly stopped and asked casually, "If someone in Qingyun City tries to kill me, and I kill him back, it shouldn't be against the rules, right?"
The white-haired old man thought for a moment and said, "It is forbidden to fight in Qingyun City. Whoever starts fighting first will violate the rules, and Mr. Gao can deal with him as he pleases."
"Understood."
Gao Xian walked out of the room and headed straight for Anshanfang with Daniu.
When they arrived at the north gate of Anshanfang, the middle-aged Fang Ya was waiting there. When he saw Da Niu and Gao Xian coming, he hurried over to greet them.
The middle-aged Fang Ya bent his waist and showed a flattering smile: "Senior, I have something to say. I mean well, please don't be offended."
Gao Xian had guessed what the man was going to say by looking at his expression, so he waved his sleeves and said, "No need to waste your time."
The middle-aged Fang Ya refused to give up. He bravely stretched out his hand to stop Gao Xian and said, "Senior, Master Zhang Dongling is the deacon of the Law Enforcement Court. He has been in Qingyun City for many years. Not to mention how profound his cultivation is, his network of connections is extremely deep.
"Why do you have to make things difficult for him just for a little girl? Besides, Deacon Zhang was impressed by the girl's qualifications and had good intentions."
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Gao Xian didn't say anything, but just looked deeply at the middle-aged man. His deep gaze made the middle-aged man's heart tighten suddenly, and he couldn't say anything else.
Gao Xian ignored the mercenary man. He took Daniu to register and entered Anshanfang.
The middle-aged man could actually ask the guards at the door to stop Gao Xian, but he hesitated again and again and finally did not dare to do so.
Even if he put a lot of effort into trying to please Zhang Dongling, the other party might not appreciate it, but he would offend this young foundation-building cultivator to death.
If a foundation-building cultivator wants to kill him, there are hundreds of ways to do it, and there is no need to use direct force.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but be curious and followed bravely.
Under the rattan trellis in the Zhang family's courtyard, in addition to Zhang Dongling, there were two other foundation-building cultivators, one was Zheng Ting and the other was Shui Yurong. They were both good friends of Zhang Dongling.
I came to the dinner today as scheduled to see Zhang Dongling off.
They didn't expect to encounter this incident. Zheng Ting and Shui Yurong looked at Wan Yingying curiously, but didn't see anything special.
Shui Yurong smiled and said, "I can't see anything else, but I can see that this little girl is very beautiful. Are you thinking of taking a concubine?"
Shui Yurong looked to be in her thirties, wearing a lake blue robe, and was quite beautiful. Her cheekbones were high, and her face looked a bit tough. But when she spoke, her eyes moved, full of mature charm, which was very attractive.
Zhang Dongling shook his head and waved his hands: "Fellow Daoist, please don't joke. I am not that kind of person. This girl has extraordinary aptitude. If we train her carefully, she will achieve great things in the future."
Shui Yurong smiled without saying anything, as if to say, "I don't know what kind of people you men are."
Zheng Ting smiled and said, "Brother Zhang is good at the secret art of observing people. If he says so, he must be right."
He turned to Wan Yingying who was not far away and said, "Little girl, my brother Zhang is the steward of the Law Enforcement Court. He is in a high position and has great power. Now he has been transferred to the outer district and is in charge of the life and death of 100,000 monks.
"In terms of cultivation, he is a great cultivator in the late stage of foundation building. He is a true disciple of Liantian Peak. He practices the Xuanmen orthodox method, which is extremely brilliant. It is your greatest luck in this life that you can worship Brother Zhang as your master!"
Zheng Ting had an ordinary appearance. He wore a dark yellow robe with cloud patterns. He looked to be in his thirties, with three long wisps of beard. He spoke with a slight accent, and it was obvious that he was proud of his status, so he looked down on others.
Wan Yingying disliked these three foundation-building cultivators, but she also knew that confronting them would only bring trouble upon herself, so she just curled her lips and did not respond.
Zheng Ting was somewhat displeased. He, a great foundation-building cultivator, was explaining things to her earnestly, but the girl looked disdainful.
She must be thirteen or fourteen years old, how could she be so rude! I wonder who taught her that!
Zheng Ting was proud of his status and didn't want to argue with Wan Yingying for the sake of Zhang Dongling's face.
He smiled at Zhang Dongling and said, "This child is indeed a bit naughty. Brother Zhang will have to discipline him well in the future."
Zhang Dongling nodded: "She is indeed a young girl with little education. It doesn't matter. I will discipline her well. We can't let her lose face for Liantianfeng..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Da Niu leading a man in blue clothes into the yard.
The man in blue was handsome and elegant, with a noble demeanor, especially his pair of bright eyes, shining like stars.
Zhang Dongling, Zheng Ting, and Shui Yurong, the three foundation-building cultivators, looked at this man and their hearts instinctively tensed up.
The three of them were shocked. Where did this person come from? How could he have such extraordinary bearing and demeanor?
Especially Zhang Dongling, he knew that this person was from Lianyun Sect. He was quite puzzled, how could such an outstanding person be born in a small sect on the border? ! Gao Xian bowed to the three people, "I, Gao Xian, greet the three Taoist friends."
Wan Yingying was very happy to see Gao Xian coming. She hurried to Gao Xian and gently called him "Brother". Then she said aggrievedly, "I don't know what's wrong with these people. They insist on making me their apprentice. I won't do it!"
Gao Xian touched Wan Yingying's head and said, "Don't worry, no one can force you if you don't want to."
Zhang Dongling and the other two's faces changed slightly. Gao Xian's words sounded so harsh! Shui Yurong originally thought Gao Xian was extremely handsome, and she admired him a little in her heart. But Gao Xian's words clearly showed that he didn't take the three of them seriously.
She sneered, "Fellow Daoist Gao, let me tell you the truth. Fellow Daoist Dongling falling in love with this little girl is a blessing you will never get in three lifetimes! "The little girl is young and naive, and you have already established your foundation. You should know what is good and what is bad!"
Gao Xian smiled and said slowly, "We appreciate your kindness. As for becoming your disciple, if the child doesn't want to, we can't force him."
Without waiting for Gao Xian to finish his words, Shui Yurong said forcefully: "What if we insist on forcing it?"
