As soon as Ling Xiao and Jiang Qing entered Huangfeng City, they saw Jiang Cheng and several Jiang family guards waiting quietly at the city gate.
"Uncle Cheng, long time no see!" Jiang Qing stepped forward with a smile.
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and bowed his hands.
"Oh, you are so polite, young master. Mr. Xiao, I was very concerned about you when we said goodbye last time."
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes lightly, "Thank you, Uncle Jiang, for remembering me. I have indeed encountered a lot of things recently. It was my fault that I didn't come to visit you."
"Hey, Mr. Xiao, what are you talking about? I have been waiting for you for a long time. Come with me."
Jiang Cheng put his hands behind his back and silently led the way for the two of them.
Although Jiang Cheng was over fifty years old, he walked leisurely and his breath was calm. There was a strong wind passing by as he walked, but no spiritual power leaked out at all.
Ling Xiao pursed his lips and leaned into Jiang Qing's ear, "You're such a strange city uncle."
"It's like this. He has been in my Jiang family since he was a child. He has followed my father and is my father's confidant. However, I have never seen him take action. I heard from my father that he can kill a spirit realm creature with one punch.
The strength of the spiritual beast should not be low," Jiang Qing said.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was even more puzzled.
The last time he saw Jiang Cheng, he noticed something unusual.
According to Jiang Qing, this Jiangcheng is either a high-level warrior or an ordinary warrior.
But if he has a high realm, how can he be willing to succumb to Jiang Yunhong?
But how could a warrior defeat a spirit beast in the realm of the dead with one punch?
As the two continued to discuss, Jiang Cheng turned around leisurely.
"Master, Mr. Xiao, we are here."
Ling Xiao and Jiang Cheng raised their eyes, and in front of them was a luxurious restaurant in Huangfeng City. Just like the last time Jiang Yunhong saw Ling Xiao, there was no other person inside except the guards of the Jiang family and Jiang Yunhong.
The corners of Ling Xiao's lips twitched.
In your aristocratic family, do you have to book the whole place to have a talk with me?
Jiang Qing's lips curled up slightly, and she walked upstairs with a leisurely expression.
Ling Xiao followed closely behind.
bump!
With a soft sound, Jiang Qing kicked open a door on the second floor.
"Dad, I'm here."
"You brat, you can't even open a door properly. I've been going to the main hospital for so long and you don't even know how to go home. You have to let me come to you, right?"
Jiang Yunhong stepped forward, held Jiang Qing's neck, and pushed him onto the table.
"Dad, I'm not, I'm too busy! The main hospital has a heavy workload, okay?" Jiang Qing kept complaining with a dissatisfied look on her face.
Jiang Yunhong frowned and knocked Jiang Qing on the head several times.
"You brat, don't do this. Don't think I don't know where you spend your money. If you don't do business all day, you just run to the land of smoke and willows!" Jiang Yunhong said angrily.
"Dad, I'm a young man with lots of energy. From what you said, it's just like you went there a lot when you were young!" Jiang Qing said sarcastically.
Jiang Yunhong coughed a few times, and then he noticed Ling Xiao looking strange at the door. Immediately, his expression changed, and he let go of Jiang Qing with a kind smile on his face.
"Brother Xiao, if I make you laugh, sit down first, sit down first..."
The corners of Ling Xiao's lips twitched.
The father and son are really cut from the same mold.
"Xiao Qing, you go to another room first. Brother Xiao and I have something to discuss." Jiang Yunhong said.
"Ah? Push me away again!"
Jiang Qing's face was full of displeasure, but she still followed Jiang Cheng out.
Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he continued to drink.
"Boy, I heard that you went to Nanchen City some time ago?" Jiang Yunhong said in a deep voice.
The chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and Ling Xiao's expression tightened.
really!
"Yes, I went with Zhong Limo from Tianhan Ice Palace." Ling Xiao said.
bump!
The wine glass in Jiang Yunhong's hand suddenly shattered, his cloudy eyes narrowed, and the look he looked at Ling Xiao became unkind.
"You like to be nosy?" Jiang Yunhong said.
"Haha, that's not true. It's just that I have some friendship with Tianhan Ice Palace." Ling Xiao chuckled.
Jiang Yunhong stood up and his expression became grim.
"But, do you know that you are using Xiaoqing's identity!" Jiang Yunhong said sharply.
Ling Xiao remained silent, waiting for Jiang Yunhong's next words.
With a soft sigh, Jiang Yunhong's chest rose and fell, and he suppressed the anger in his heart and sat down slowly.
"Nanchen City is the top secret of the royal family. Not to mention me, even the head of the Jiang family doesn't know about it. The superiors have even banned all aristocratic families from interfering in anything in Nanchen City. You know that for your so-called friendship?
, how big of a trap have you poked!"
"I know this clearly, what's more, this trip also allowed me to see some things clearly." Ling Xiao said leisurely.
Jiang Yunhong stood up suddenly, and the aura of the peak king smashed the round table in front of him to pieces.
Jiang Yunhong was extremely angry and suddenly grabbed Ling Xiao's collar.
Although this matter was done by Ling Xiao personally, he used Jiang Qing's identity, so the nature of the whole matter was completely different.
Not only did he invisibly involve the Jiang family, but he also forced Jiang Yunhong to deal with the matter.
"Oh, you are indeed very capable. Not only did you rescue everyone in Tianhan Ice Palace, but you also killed the head of the Jin family, his wife, and all the elite guards! The night you entered Nanchen City,
At that moment, you should have known that the Jin family had evacuated all the people in the city in advance."
"They are by no means rebellious, but they are doing the most shameful and darkest things in the empire! But you are still stubborn, just for a few female disciples of the sect..." Jiang Yunhong said sharply.
Ling Xiao was silent. At that time, he had doubts in his heart. It was not until what Jin Letian said before he died that he fully understood the fishiness in it.
However, Ling Xiao had no regrets about all this.
Not only for Zhong Limo and Mu Linlang, but more importantly, the inextricable connections between Ni Huan Palace and the royal family are all directly related to Mu'er!
Taking a deep breath, facing the furious Jiang Yunhong, Ling Xiao's expression remained as usual.
"Uncle Jiang, I'm very sorry for involving the Jiang family and Xiaoqing. If you can't handle it, you can just push all the responsibilities onto me..."
"Asshole! Do you know what you are facing? It is an extremely huge empire and the top power in the world!"
"Do you think your personal heroism can fight against these behemoths? You are simply stupid!"
"You are young and energetic, and you don't know how high the sky is. Your recklessness and impulsiveness will not only harm you, but also implicate everyone around you!" Jiang Yunhong angrily scolded.
Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged as he gently grabbed Jiang Yunhong's right hand and slowly pushed it away.
"Of course I know this, but I have a reason to do this!" Ling Xiao said indifferently.
"You bastard! Do you know that if my Jiang family and Gongsun family hadn't tried their best to protect you, you would have been secretly dealt with by the royal family! How can you still be alive now and be able to sit with me and drink tea and wine leisurely!"
Jiang Yunhong's eyes were bloodshot, he wanted to see Ling Xiao's attitude today.
But this ignorant kid is so arrogant, young and energetic, and doesn't know how to restrain himself at all.
This has already made him murderous.
Ling Xiao sat down leisurely, his expression unchanged.
"Uncle Jiang, I have my own rules of conduct. If you feel something is inappropriate, cancel the original agreement with me. Even if I, Xiao Ling, do not rely on any aristocratic family or sect power, I will still investigate this matter!"
Ling Xiao was neither humble nor arrogant, with firmness in his eyes.
The corners of Jiang Yunhong's lips raised, exuding an extremely dangerous aura.
"Stubborn... boy! This water is very deep and involves many things. It is not something you can get involved in. Not to mention that you are just the unmarried son-in-law of the Gongsun family. Even if you are the eldest son of the Gongsun family, I can still prevent it.
If there is any future trouble, I will kill you directly!"
"Oh, I understand, but I... have my reasons!"
Ling Xiao put down the wine glass in his hand and stood up leisurely.
"Uncle Jiang, thank you for your reminder and hospitality. I will take all responsibility for this matter and not involve the Jiang family and Xiaoqing. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."
"Why!"
Jiang Yunhong's voice sounded behind him.
He didn't understand that Ling Xiao could rely on the power of the Jiang family and the Gongsun family to protect himself, but he had to stand against them!
Ling Xiao paused and stopped where he was.
The young man did not look back, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
"Because I have someone I have to protect."
"Would you rather be an enemy of anyone for her?"
"Anyone!"
There was unquestionable belief in the young man's words.
Jiang Yunhong sat in his original position absentmindedly, with no sign of the young man in front of him.
Yes, this kind of courage is what a young man should look like.
It is also the hymn that people should admire and respect the most.
It is the most innocent appearance of human life.
If a young man is careless, he should do as he pleases and be unruly in the world.
Can be for one person
one thing
For the faith in my heart
Be the enemy of the whole world!
I have been eroded by time, and I have long lost that impulse and anger...
How could he be qualified to interfere with his choice...
Jiang Yunhong laughed to himself, as if he was stunned or lost in memories.
After walking out of the room, Jiang Qing pulled Ling Xiao over.
"Boss, what are you and my father talking about? There is so much noise inside!" Jiang Qing couldn't help but ask.
Ling Xiao smiled gracefully and patted Jiang Qing's shoulder.
"Oh, it's nothing, Xiaoqing... If one day, I conflict with what you have believed in since childhood, will you be disappointed in me?"
Jiang Qing was stunned, holding her stomach and laughing continuously.
"Hahaha, boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you asking such stupid questions? Your tall image in my heart is about to collapse!"
"Heh, maybe..."
Ling Xiao smiled lightly, his face remained as usual, and he didn't know whether he was happy or angry.
"Please spend more time with your father and avoid going to those shady places. You are a young man from an aristocratic family after all. How can you be idle all day long?" Ling Xiao said.
"Oh, I got it, I got it, why did the conversation become as long-winded as my dad? I'm going to stay with him right now."
Glancing at Ling Xiao, Jiang Qing opened the door and walked in.
Ling Xiao sighed softly and walked out of the restaurant indifferently.
The scorching sun at noon was a bit dazzling, which made the young man feel a little uncomfortable. He covered his brows with his palms and looked toward the east intently.
"Oh, where are you going now?" Xie Shizi asked involuntarily.
"I have seen the Jiang family, so naturally I want to go to the Gongsun family to visit."
Ling Xiao smiled lightly and walked through the air.
