Chapter 321
In a pavilion in a branch courtyard of Dingqi Pavilion, two men with extraordinary auras sat opposite each other.
"Seventeenth brother, why are you here?" Ling Chen asked.
Ling Chuan smiled faintly, "Come out for a stroll. There's been a lot of turmoil in Zhongzhou lately. I heard that the Bai family is doing very well now."
Ling Chen nodded and said with a sigh: "Yes! The Bai family has indeed been lucky recently." However, everything has its pros and cons. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse for the Bai family to have offended the Fate Clan.
Ling Chen is the manager of the Ling family in the Bai family area. He has the strength of a martial arts master and is a cousin of Ling Chuan.
"Seventeenth brother, are you still looking for Shuang'er who was in the secret realm back then?" Ling Chen asked.
Ling Chuan nodded lightly and said, "Yes!"
"Actually, it's been so many years, if you could find it, you should have found it now." Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Seventeenth brother, could it be that you were under an illusion or something..."
Ling Chuan raised his head, looked at Ling Chen coldly, and said, "Do you think I was having an erotic dream? Do you think I can't even tell the difference between a dream and reality?"
Ling Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "No!"
Ling Chuan said that he accidentally raped Shuang'er in the secret realm and he had to take responsibility for her. However, Ling Chuan didn't even know her name, and he couldn't even remember her appearance clearly.
Back then, Ling Chuan insisted that an elder who valued Ling Chuan conduct a simple investigation on Shuang'er in the secret realm. After the investigation, the Ling family discovered that this person did not exist.
There had long been a rumor in the clan that Lingchuan had had a wet dream, but Lingchuan was so obsessed with the two girls that even though the clan members had doubts, they did not dare to speak them out in front of Lingchuan.
"It's been so many years, can't you let it go?" Ling Chen asked.
Ling Chuan looked at Ling Chen coldly, and said unkindly: "What do you want to say?"
Ling Chen smiled awkwardly, gritted his teeth, and said: "If you can't let go, you can take a concubine first. Eighteenth brother, you already have more than ten sons, but you are still alone. Don't you envy..."
Ling Chuan's face turned gloomy in an instant. Ling Chen looked at Ling Chuan's dark face and wailed helplessly in his heart. Oh my God, why did the elders of the clan have to act as lobbyists? If Ling Chuan got angry, he couldn't stop him!
Ling Chuan looked at Ling Chen coldly, then suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if Eighteenth Brother has a son. I might even have a great-grandson."
Ling Chen watched Ling Chuan's expression change from gloomy to bright, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Seventeenth brother, you are really a joke, do you think you are Bai Chenxing? You have a twin as a decoration, and the twins have brought back twin sons-in-law to the Bai family..."
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes, snorted coldly, and said, "What's Bai Chenxing? Isn't it just one more son and two sons-in-law?"
When he brings Qu Kun back, even if Bai Chenxing is a generation younger than him, he will have to respectfully call him father-in-law!
"Seventeenth brother, I heard that you were humiliated by Shuang'er in our Ling family's store." Ling Chen asked, changing the subject.
Thinking of Qu Kun, Ling Chuan smiled and said, "My level is still a little lacking and not worthy of others' attention."
"It's that Shuang'er who has a problem with his brain. He is Bai Chenxing's father-in-law. He comes from outside the domain and doesn't have much experience. It's probably because Bai Chenxing gives in to him that he can only act stubbornly and say anything. He is truly ignorant and fearless!" Ling Chen shook his head helplessly.
"Seventh brother, do you have a big opinion about Qu Kun?" Ling Chuan asked with his eyes lowered, holding the wine glass in his hand.
Ling Chen felt a chill in his heart. For some reason, Ling Chuan's voice was very calm, but Ling Chen felt an indescribable chill.
Ling Chen smiled awkwardly and said, "I only accepted you as my seventeenth brother because you are not happy about it."
Ling Chuan is a Martial Saint, a ninth-level weapon refiner! Although, to Ai Ai, he is a Nine-Star Martial Master, an eighth-level advanced level, the highest level in Ye Shizhongzhou!
If Ling Chuan announced that he would customize a magic weapon for him, powerful martial masters would surely come in droves. However, Qu Kun still felt that Ling Chuan's weapon-making skills were not good enough. Although Qu Kun was not very strong, he was very arrogant.
Ling Chuan smiled and said, "That's nothing. He's right. I should study weapon refining seriously."
Ling Chen looked at Ling Chuan, thought for a moment, and said seriously: "Seventeenth brother, although the Bai family is very popular now because of Mu Chen, but with the foundation of our Ling family, there is no need for us to condescend to please the Bai family and a martial master for the sake of a low-level eighth-level alchemist."
Ling Chuan sneered and said sarcastically, "Do you think I'm doing this to please the Bai family? To please Muchen?"
Ling Chen frowned and looked at Ling Chuan in confusion.
Seeing Ling Chen's confused expression, Ling Chuan did not try to clear up his confusion. "How much do you know about Bai Chenxing and Qu Xinyang?"
Ling Chen rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not very clear about the specific circumstances. I only know that Bai Chenxing seemed to have misunderstood that Qu Xinyang was with someone else and left him in the outer realm until Bai Yanxing came looking for him."
"Bai Chenxing is such a confused guy. He had no idea his son had been in Zhongzhou for more than half a year. It wasn't until the Bai family threatened Bai Yanxing that he realized that he was his biological son."
"This time, Qu Kun came from outside the territory. The Bai family and Qu Kun got into a fight, and he came out to rescue Qu Kun."
"Fortunately, Bai Yanxing and Qu Kun are lucky enough, otherwise..." Ling Chen shook his head helplessly.
Ling Chuan's eyes flashed with coldness, "Bai Chenxing, what an idiot, why doesn't he die of stupidity?"
Ling Chuan received the jade slip of communication from the Wenxian Pavilion. He came out immediately after seeing the images of the ring and Qu Kun in the slip.
Before coming, Ling Chuan conducted a simple investigation into Qu Kun's affairs. Due to the tight time schedule, Ling Chuan's investigation was not thorough.
From the first moment he saw Qu Kun's image, Ling Chuan was sure that it was this person. Although he couldn't remember Qu Kun's appearance, he was more than capable of recognizing him when he saw him.
Ling Chen: “…” Ling Chen’s expression changed, and he reminded: “Seventeenth brother, Bai Chenxing claims to be a Nine-Star Martial Lord, but in fact he is a Martial Saint. His aptitude is probably on par with yours.”
Ling Chuan nodded and said, "I know, I know he is a Martial Saint. There is no contradiction between him being a Martial Saint and him being an idiot."
Ling Chen: “…”
"Seventeenth brother, why are you suddenly interested in the ruins of the Dan Palace?" Ling Chen asked.
Ling Chuan said calmly, "The Alchemy Palace seems to have a method for refining the Nine-Chengding Cauldron."
The Jiucheng Ding is a ninth-level alchemy furnace that can increase the success rate of alchemy.
A good alchemy furnace is of great benefit to the alchemist. If the alchemist uses the furnace to make too many elixirs, it will be damaged.
Most of the eighth-level alchemy furnaces in Zhongzhou come from the Ling family. Even an eighth-level alchemist would not show off in front of the Ling family.
"The method for refining the Nine-Cheng Cauldron is a great thing!" Ling Chen couldn't help but say. "However, a thing like this wouldn't be considered a waste of precious gems only if it were in your hands, Seventeenth Brother."
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes. If he had not received the news from the Wenxian Pavilion, the method of refining the Jiucheng Ding would not have aroused Ling Chuan's interest at all.
"Is the relationship between the Bai family and Danta a bit strained?" Ling Chuan asked.
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Yes! Mu Chen killed five geniuses of the Fate Clan and Zhuang Yu in the Tianji Secret Realm, and thus forged an irreconcilable feud with the Fate Clan. Logically, this feud should be settled between the Fate Clan and Mu Chen, and has nothing to do with Danta. However, for some reason, Danta intervened."
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes, sneered, and said, "What if there are people from the Fate Clan in Danta?"
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he said, "It shouldn't be that serious."
Ling Chuan's eyes were cold as he said, "Not really. Why not? The Fate Clan has been plotting to seize the Spiritual Pagodas in the Outer Realm for hundreds of years. If the Fate Clan, as large as it is, had not been plotting to seize the Five Pagodas in Central Continent, why would they have spent so much energy to conquer the Five Pagodas in the Outer Realm?"
"Since the Fate Clan has set its sights on conquering the Five Towers of Zhongzhou, how could there be no Fate Clan members in the Five Towers of Zhongzhou?"
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, "The hand of the Fate Clan is so long?"
Ling Chuan narrowed his eyes and said, "At the moment, it's still unclear, but we can't help but be on guard."
Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "The first person to attack Muchen was Chou Zhengrong, the master of Danta. If all the masters of Danta are members of the Fate Clan, then..." The Fate Clan is too scary.
"It's just a guess. Maybe I'm overthinking it. Maybe Mu Chen's alchemy skills are too high, which makes Danta wary of him." Ling Chuan thought for a while and said.
"There are five map fragments in the Dan Palace secret realm, two of which are in Danta's hands. Ten people from Danta will go in this time, and five from the Bai family will go in. Danta is not on good terms with the Bai family and Muchen, so there may be a conflict between the two sides." Ling Chen frowned.
Ling Chuan smiled and said, "Maybe."
"There's no need for our Ling family to get involved in the affairs of the Bai family and the Ming clan. Seventeenth brother, you can just sit back and watch when the time comes." Ling Chen said.
Ling Chuan smiled. Bai Yanxing was his blood grandson, and he was now pregnant with Muchen's child. How could he stay out of it?
"I heard that Bai Yanxing's mother and father Qu Xinyang have been in a coma." Ling Chuan asked.
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Yes! That person seems to have some problems. Bai Chenxing was looking for the Anti-Spirit Pill for Qu Xinyang. However, Bai Chenxing is quite strange. Oh, I heard that he was willing to pay any price to persuade the elders of Danta. Later, the Supreme Elder of Danta agreed to refine the pill for him, but he refused."
Ling Chen said solemnly, "He probably discovered something wrong."
Ling Chen looked at Ling Chuan and asked suspiciously, "Seventeenth Brother, are you interested in Qu Kun? Are you attracted to him?"
Ling Chuan smiled and didn't directly answer Ling Chen's question. He just said, "They will all go to the secret realm. I have to find out about it."
Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I see. I almost thought you liked someone like Qu Kun, hahaha..."
Ling Chuan looked at Ling Chen and said with a half-smile, "It's funny? Is Qu Kun not okay?"
Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "He looks okay, but I heard he has a really bad temper. Bai Chenxing was even scolded by him. Those who like Qu Kun are probably masochists, hahaha..."
Ling Chuan folded his arms and looked at Ling Chen quietly.
Ling Chen couldn't smile anymore when he saw Ling Chuan's expression.
