Although Lu Ling was smiling, there was not much smile in her beautiful eyes.
"How many secrets do you have hiding from me?"
Lu Ling said half-complainingly, and there seemed to be something interesting in his words.
"Click!"
Hearing these words, Yang Ji's heart skipped a beat, and he felt something bad.
"What's a secret? Lu Ling, I don't understand what you are talking about."
Yang Jiqiang said calmly, but his expression was a little unnatural.
"Hmph! Do you still want to hide it from me? Do you have to tell me what's going on with that poisonous snake in your sleeve?"
Lu Ling finally stopped smiling, looked at Yang Ji, and said with some displeasure.
"boom!"
A burst of blood exploded from his heart, and he felt worried. Yang Ji's heart sank instantly.
"coming!"
What Yang Ji was most worried about finally happened.
From the day he set foot in Pingchuan City, Yang Ji had a premonition that this day would come sooner or later.
Back in Jin'an City, Lu Ling was bitten by a heart-eating snake and almost died in the wilderness. The culprit was "Xiao Ji". The crowned snake that Lu Ling couldn't chase was unexpectedly conquered by Yang Ji.
Yang Ji once thought about returning "Xiao Ji" to Lu Ling, but the crown snake is very spiritual and holds a grudge. Lu Ling shot an arrow at "Xiao Ji" and chased her all the way.
As a result, Xiao Jihuang had no choice but to be trapped by a big rock and almost starved to death.
And the scar caused by that arrow has not healed yet. With the crowned snake's submission, if Yang Ji returns it to Lu Ling, it would be great if he doesn't bite her to death. How can he still recognize her as his master?
In Pingchuan City, Yang Ji and Lu Ling met several times. Every time, Yang Ji could feel its agitation and wanted to rush out of him. For this reason, Yang Ji had to comfort it and suppress it again and again.
If Yang Ji hadn't lived and ate with it and saved its life, the conflict between the man and the snake would have broken out long ago.
Yang Ji is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma. "Xiao Ji" is not an ordinary martial pet. If he goes too far, with "Xiao Ji's" intelligence, it is possible to simply abandon Yang Ji and run away on his own.
As for Lu Ling, the "martial pet" who almost followed her with his life was subdued by Yang Ji. Even if it was unintentional, he would probably feel a knot in his heart.
Lu Ling was the one who introduced Yang Ji to martial arts and also taught him martial arts. Yang Ji did not want to become a friend because of this.
"what to do?"
Yang Ji was in a dilemma.
I originally thought that I could leave Pingchuan City peacefully. But I didn't expect that just when the martial arts examination was about to end, Lu Ling suddenly showed his cards to him.
"Wow!"
Yang Ji felt helpless, sighed, and opened his sleeves, ready to explain the whole story to Lu Ling.
Just when Yang Ji had a complete showdown, Lu Ling's curious voice suddenly came into his ears:
"What a weird snake?"
"ah?"
Yang Ji was stunned for a moment, unable to react.
"What a strange wire snake. I have never heard that wire snakes are poisonous? It can even poison the Iron Feathered Rock Eagle. Yang Ji, where did you find it?"
Lu Ling leaned down and said curiously.
In his sleeve, "Xiao Ji"'s joints were broken by the head of the Six Villages. He was lying there limply, unable to move. However, when he saw Lu Ling's hatred, Xiao Ji recognized him at a glance, and his pupils suddenly shrank, filled with fear.
With hatred, he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Although Xiao Ji hated Lu Ling, he also had a deep fear of Lu Ling who had caused harm to him. However, Lu Ling obviously did not feel this.
Yang Ji glanced at Lu Ling blankly, with only one thought in his mind:
"She didn't recognize it?"
Yang Ji couldn't believe it.
——Lu Ling actually didn’t recognize it and mistakenly thought “Xiao Ji” was a wire snake!
At this moment, countless thoughts passed through my mind. Although it was a bit unbelievable, Xiao Ji's current appearance was indeed similar to that of a wire snake.
"Xiao Ji" has changed a lot since he recognized his master by eating blood. If he didn't know the details, he wouldn't have known that this was a highly venomous king snake.
And the most important thing is that because it became smaller, the crown-like "sarcoma" on the crown snake's forehead disappeared.
This series of thoughts passed through his mind, and Yang Ji suddenly understood it. For a moment, he felt like he was breaking out in a cold sweat, and felt like he had narrowly escaped death.
"Fortunately, she didn't recognize it..."
Yang Ji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want Lu Ling to know about it for the time being: "She must be angry that I kept this matter from her and didn't tell him."
This was not the first time that Xiao Ji appeared. He had appeared once when he was dealing with the "Steel-backed Ape". Lu Ling didn't ask, and Yang Ji didn't say anything.
Now it seems that Lu Ling may have been waiting for him to take the initiative to bring up this matter. I'm afraid this is what she is really angry about.
"This shouldn't be a wire snake..."
Yang Ji pondered for a moment, but did not hide anything. He rescued "Xiao Ji" from under the big rock and told him the process of subduing it.
Everything is the real truth. The only thing Yang Ji did not tell Lu Ling directly was that the "Xiao Ji" he conquered was the crown snake.
"I see."
Lu Ling thoughtfully said: "Although wire snakes are generally not poisonous, there are many different species. The one you caught should be a highly poisonous mutant."
Lu Ling's temper came and went quickly. After a while, he became happy again.
"No matter what, you have made a great contribution this time. I am here to remind you that although the martial arts examination has ended, you must not go back in a hurry. There will definitely be a reward from the court."
Lu Ling said.
Yang Ji secretly said "Ashamed" in his heart. It turned out that Lu Ling wanted to remind him of this incident. Pingchuan City was under martial law and within a short period of time, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.
"Probably not. I just shot an arrow, so where does the great achievement come from?"
Yang Ji shook his head and said.
"Hey, that's what you don't know."
Lu Ling said with a smile, she had lived in the power center of Pingchuan City for a long time. She was very familiar with politics and the court's behavior, and had a very keen sense of smell:
"You don't know this. Bai Shengming is a disciple of Mount Paektu. If she is kidnapped by the people in the green forest on the court's territory, it will be a big deal. Not only will Mount Paektu exert a lot of pressure, but the court will also
You will lose all face. This arrow of yours is not much worse than winning the first prize in the martial arts examination."
"The imperial court is too busy right now, so Wu Xia won't take this matter into consideration. However, it can take as little as three days or as long as five days, and there will definitely be results. I'm afraid that you are stupid and will suffer a loss in this matter. Remember, don't be in a hurry yet.
Walk."
Lu Ling said.
Yang Ji felt a warm current surge in his heart. He didn't know what to say.
"That's right. Be careful during this time. People in the green forest will retaliate. You have ruined their affairs this time. Be careful."
Lu Ling said solemnly.
"Um."
Yang Ji came back to his senses and nodded. Lu Ling's words really gave him a wake-up call. This time he shot the giant eagle with an arrow, almost causing the leader of the Sixth Village of Green Forest to fall from the air and fall alive.
die.
Such people will never give up easily after suffering such a humiliating loss.
"I see."
Yang Jidao also remembered something when Lu Ling mentioned it:
"Lu Ling, do you still remember what I told you on the roof of the Martial Palace?"
Lu Ling thought for a moment and then thought about it: "You mean, besides the man in the green forest, there are other people involved in this matter?"
"Well, I doubt this attack. In addition to the people in the green forest, there are also cult members in this attack..."
Yang Ji lowered his voice and spoke briefly about the fanatical voices he heard in the martial arts palace and the previous encounters with cult members.
To be continued...
