Chapter 322
Equipment refining tower.
"Grandpa, Senior Lingchuan is here." He Jingyue said to He Xian.
He Xian nodded and said, "I understand. It's really strange that Ling Chuan came here at this time."
The Ling family is no less powerful than the Bai family. Even though Muchen is very popular now, he is just a low-level alchemist of level eight. The Ming family is eyeing him covetously, so it is hard to say what will happen to Muchen in the future.
It would be good for Lingchuan to be like the Bai family at this time, otherwise he would be on the opposite side of the Ming family.
The Ling family has always been cautious and self-protective. They should not be so hasty to take sides before the situation becomes clear.
"I heard that Ling Chuansong gave an eighth-grade top-grade magic weapon to Bai Chenxing's father-in-law?" He Xian asked.
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes! Qu Kun's strength is not high, but his standards are very high. He doesn't even look at the eighth-level magic weapon. When Senior Ling took out the eighth-level top-grade magic weapon, he also looked at it with disdain."
"Senior Ling said that his weapon refining skills were superficial, but that was just a humble statement. I didn't expect Qu Kun to take it seriously. He even asked Senior Ling to go into seclusion and study weapon refining more carefully. It's really..." It's unreasonable!
At that time, there were other cultivators in the Dingqi Pavilion, and Qu Kun never stopped saying anything shocking. For a while, people like Mu Chen and Bai Yanxing stood aside, and Qu Kun became the top topic of conversation among the cultivators in Zhongzhou after dinner.
Almost in an instant, everyone in Zhongzhou knew that Bai Chenxing had a very difficult father-in-law.
This person's cultivation level is neither high nor low. He is a martial arts master with an astonishingly broad vision. In his eyes, Ling Chuan, the highest-level eighth-level weapon refiner in Zhongzhou, is just a second-rate weapon refiner.
He Xian smiled helplessly and said, "As expected of a grandfather and grandson, Qu Kun's temperament is somewhat similar to Bai Yanxing's."
He Jingyue smiled somewhat lostly and said, "Yes!"
He Xian said strangely, "Qu Kun said that, but Ling Chuan wasn't angry at all?"
He Jingyue nodded and said, "Yes! Senior Ling, you are so magnanimous!" A master is a master, and a prime minister can hold a boat in his stomach!
He Xian sneered and said, "Ling Chuan's temperament is not as good as you think."
He Jingyue asked doubtfully, "Is there?"
He Xian nodded and said, "Once, a martial arts master from a certain family plotted against him. As a result, he chased the martial arts master to his home and slaughtered the entire family."
He Jingyue suddenly opened her eyes wide and was speechless. He actually thought that such a person had a good temperament.
He Jingyue said with some confusion: "But I heard that Ling Chuan's attitude was really good when he scolded me. Qu Kun ruthlessly humiliated him, but he didn't get angry."
He Jingyue thought for a moment and said, "Qu Kun is a twin, could it be that Ling Chuan has a crush on Qu Kun?"
"It shouldn't be like that! Although Qu Kun looks good and is a little... cute, there are so many beautiful women like Danny Shi and Shuang'er in Zhongzhou. For someone like Ling Chuan, there will be no shortage of people throwing themselves at him. He should be a man who is used to seeing beauties. Falling in love at first sight shouldn't happen to Ling Chuan." He Jingyue murmured.
He Jingyue found it strange that Mu Chen was still obsessed with Ye Shi. If Ling Chuan also fell in love with Qu Kun, He Jingyue felt that the world was probably turned upside down.
"Maybe there are other reasons." He Xian said.
···············
Because Qu Kun wanted to buy some things, and because Ye Shi and Qu Kun's identities were too conspicuous, the two of them changed their appearances and left the Bai family.
As soon as Qu Kun walked out of the Bai family, he heard all kinds of rumors about him.
"Have you heard that Bai Chenxing's father-in-law, Bai Yanxing's grandfather, actually said that Senior Lingchuan's weapon refining skills are superficial and that he should be locked up somewhere and study hard to improve his weapon refining skills to the ninth level as soon as possible. Don't come out casually and waste your time. Hahaha..."
"Is he an idiot? Senior Lingchuan said that his weapon refining skills were superficial, but he actually thought that Senior Lingchuan's weapon refining skills were superficial, hahaha..."
"I heard that the man came from another land, was completely ignorant and had no idea of his own limitations."
"Senior Lingchuan has a really good temper. If it were any other Nine-Star Martial Lord, he might have slapped him half to death."
"That's right! Senior Lingchuan is so gentle."
"I heard that Senior Ling Chuan was also a ruthless person in his past. He must have been cultivating himself and improving his character over the years. Qu Kun is really lucky to have caught up with Senior Ling when he was in a good mood. Otherwise, he would probably be dead."
···············
Qu Kun pursed his lips, and the comments about him from people around him kept coming into his ears, making Qu Kun's face increasingly gloomy.
Ye Shi puffed out his cheeks, his expression a little complicated.
"Is an eighth-level top-grade weapon refiner that powerful? I said his weapon refining skills were superficial, and you thought it was funny. Don't you know your place?" Qu Kun said with gritted teeth.
"That's not funny at all. Those people are just ignorant. Actually, being an eighth-grade, superior weapon refiner isn't that big of a deal." An eighth-grade, superior weapon refiner is simply the highest-level refiner in Central Continent. "Mu Chen will surpass him sooner or later."
Qu Kun said unhappily, "Mu Chen, Mu Chen...Mu Chen is the best."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yeah."
Qu Kun: “…”
"That guy Lingchuan and Ha Wenhe are so funny that it's killing me." Qu Kun said unhappily.
Ye Shi asked doubtfully, "Grandpa, is that guy very violent?" Like a beast, he should be very violent.
Qu Kun glared at Ye Shi fiercely, and Ye Shi shut his mouth awkwardly.
Ye Shi glanced at Qu Kun secretly. In the past, his grandfather always had his hands behind his back and his head held high, looking like he was out of his reach. Ye Shi always admired Qu Kun more than he felt close to him. However, since Qu Kun's background was exposed, Ye Shi suddenly realized that the unattainable grandfather he had always seemed was just an illusion.
······
"Bai Chenxing, he's so unlucky to have a father-in-law like Qu Kun."
"That's right. I heard that Senior Bai didn't even say a word back even when Qu Kun scolded him. Senior Bai Ye Shi has a good temper!"
"Qu Kun is the father-in-law of Bai Chenxing, and Senior Bai Chenxing is very powerful and holds a high position of authority. Qu Kun, a martial arts master, always scolds Senior Bai Chenxing, which is outrageous."
"That's right! Senior Bai must really like Qu Xinyang, that's why he can tolerate Qu Kun's unreasonable behavior."
“······”
When the topic turned to Bai Chenxing, Qu Kun became even more angry. "Your father is unlucky enough, Dai Mei's father is your mother! You are so unlucky to have to deal with a fool like Bai Chenxing."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "That's right, that's right. Those idiots don't know anything and just talk nonsense."
······
"It is said that Qu Kun spoke coldly to Senior Ling, but Senior Ling was not angry at all and even rushed to send the magic weapon to him."
"Senior Ling, are you interested in Qu Kun?"
"I've seen Qu Kun before, too. He's not bad looking, but not stunningly beautiful. Senior Ling has seen all sorts of people! He probably wouldn't fall for Qu Kun."
"That's hard to say! Who knows, maybe Senior Ling just enjoys being criticized."
"In that case, Qu Kun might be wrong in some way."
"That guy is really lucky. If that's true, he's very lucky."
······
Qu Kun gasped, his face turning pale and blue. "People from Zhongzhou, there's something seriously wrong with their brains!" Being favored by a beast is considered lucky? What a joke! He couldn't stand such a beast.
Ye Shi: “…”
"Are you guys coming out to play?" A series of faint voices came over.
Ling Chuan was wearing casual clothes and had a little disguise on his face, but Ye Shi still recognized him.
"Senior Ling." Ye Shi called out hesitantly.
When Ling Chuan heard Ye Shi's address, his expression changed, but he didn't say much. Qu Kun looked at Ling Chuan with a bad expression.
"Grandpa and I came out to buy some things." Ye Shi said for fun.
"Is there anything missing?" Ling Chuan asked.
"No, just strolling around." Ye Shi said.
Ling Chuan turned his gaze to Qu Kun, a touching smile on his lips. "After decades of separation, I keep thinking of you in my dreams at midnight. I wonder if you have ever thought of me."
Ye Shi looked at Ling Chuan's glowing eyes and felt that Ling Chuan's expression at the moment was tender and affectionate.
Hearing Ling Chuan's words, Qu Kun got goosebumps all over his body.
Qu Kun frowned and said, "I don't know you, I've never seen you before. You've got the wrong person."
Ling Chuan smiled faintly, looking at Qu Kun with affection, and said gently and tenderly: "I was too rude back then, and it was because you were so charming that I couldn't control myself and forgot everything. Later, you left. I have always regretted that I was too forgetful and didn't treat you gently..."
"Over the years, when I dream of property management, I always think, if I could have held your hand, and you were still by my side, how great it would be..."
"Although I was wrong, you walked away without saying a word and treated me like a worn-out shoe. That was too heartless."
The more Ling Chuan spoke, the gentler his expression became. Qu Kun felt as if goosebumps were about to overwhelm him.
Ye Shi: “······” This grandpa is so romantic.
"That's enough, stop talking nonsense." Qu Kun blushed and stopped Ling Chuan from speaking.
This man is not only a beast, but also a smooth-talking beast.
Back then, this guy almost crushed him to death, and now it's all his fault.
What does "Although I was wrong, you walked away without a word, treating me like a worn-out shoe, which is too heartless" mean? He was raped by this guy, so should he stay and find someone to take responsibility? Qu Kun couldn't afford to lose face like this.
Ling Chuan smiled and said with some pleasure: "I heard that you have been wearing our engagement ring for so many years. I am really touched."
"A love ring?" Ye Shi couldn't help but blink. Wasn't that stolen goods? How could it become a love ring?
Qu Kun: “…”
Ling Chuan explained to Ye Shi, "That ring was passed down from the ancestors of the Ling family. The elders of the clan told me to leave it to my beloved."
Qu Kun scoffed and said, "That's a level five ring. Your ancestors handed down such a broken ring to you. You, the Ling family, one of the ten great families, have fallen to such ruin. Moreover, I heard that the ring has a lifespan of fifty years!"
Ling Chuan smiled. Ye Shi remained calm after being exposed. "It's like this. According to the rules passed down from our ancestors, we must personally refine a ring for our loved ones."
Ye Shi: “······” This kind of ring is called a ring passed down from ancestors.
Qu Kun rolled his eyes, took off the ring and handed it to Ling Chuan, "I'll give it back to you. Give it to someone else."
Ling Chuan said with a somewhat sad face: "There's no reason to take back what you've given away."
"I don't want it anymore." Qu Kun looked at the ring on Ling Chuan's hand. He used to think that this thing was very useful and had a large space, but now he just felt that it was a hot potato.
Ling Chuan looked at Qu Kun with a somewhat sad look on his face. "Back then, you resolutely ripped this ring off my hand. Why don't you want it now?"
Qu Kun: “······” Is this guy accusing him of being “heartless” again?
There were many people secretly watching Qu Kun and others. As soon as Ling Chuan approached Qu Kun, he set up an isolation barrier around him. The people watching in the dark could only see Ling Chuan talking to Qu Kun and Ye Shi, but could not hear what the three of them were saying.
