Chapter 998: The Big Rock That Attracted Jiang Sheng
Qingzhuyuan Park is a traditional scenic spot located in the western suburbs of Longjing, near the Third Ring Road. It was once the royal forest garden of the Ming and Qing dynasties. It has beautiful scenery all year round, with warm spring breezes and blooming flowers, and summer mist and light boats floating on the green roof.
Autumn rain moistens the reeds, and the maple leaves are bright; winter clouds resemble snow, reflecting the pines and bamboos.
The Nanchang River and the Twin Canals intersect through the garden, forming a layout of three lakes, four islands, one river and two canals. The headquarters of the Wulin League is located on Mingyue Island, one of the four islands in the deepest part of Qingzhu Garden.
Just because this is the location of the headquarters of the Wulin Alliance, even though Qingzhu Garden was once a royal garden, it was not taken back into state ownership.
It can be seen from this that the Wulin Alliance's status is quite special even in a place where power centers gather like Longjing Capital City.
Jiang Sheng, led by Han Ling and Han Feng, passed through the free and open area of Qingzhu Garden and walked on the covered bridge to Mingyue Island where the Wulin League is located.
"The Wulin Alliance is really good at choosing places. This place is a geomantic treasure place where spiritual energy gathers."
Jiang Sheng looked around and sighed: "The island in front of us is the center where spiritual energy gathers. No wonder Xingchenyu is so out of place, but he has a good cultivation level. Cultivating in a place like this will get twice the result with half the effort!"
"If I were the person in charge of the Martial Arts Alliance, I would definitely ask formation masters to set up formations based on the Feng Shui topography of the entire Qingzhu Garden."
"In this way, even those in the foundation-building stage and even more powerful entities will not be able to run wild on the island ahead."
"Sir, do you know the name of the island in front of you?"
Han Ling asked Jiang Sheng with a strange expression.
Jiang Sheng shook his head.
"This is called Mingyue Island. In addition to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance, there are two major landscapes on the island, namely 'Asking for the Moon' and 'Drunken Moon with the Sound of the Flute'."
Han Ling introduced with a smile and said regretfully: "It's a pity that because of the relationship with the Wulin Alliance, this place is not open to the public. The world can no longer see those two landscapes. They have been occupied by people from the Wulin Alliance."
"Mingyue Island?"
Jiang Sheng was slightly stunned and muttered: "This place is very suitable for me and Mingyue to visit. After we establish a good relationship with the Wulin Alliance, I will definitely take Mingyue to visit."
The three of them arrived at the end of the covered bridge. As soon as they stepped onto the island, they were blocked by four young men wearing white windbreakers that blended in with the surrounding snow.
"You three, this place is not open to tourists. Please return the way you came."
One of them reminded him with a serious face.
"We are not tourists."
Han Ling took a step forward and said expressionlessly: "Go and inform your person in charge that Han Ling of the Han family is here to visit Xingchen Yu of the Wulin Alliance."
"Han Ling?"
Hearing this, the faces of the four young men changed drastically at the same time, and they decisively opened their posture and stared at Han Ling warily.
A few months ago, Han Ling made a big fuss at the Wulin League headquarters, which cast a considerable shadow on the ordinary disciples of the Wulin League.
The four disciples who were on duty at the time were all seriously injured by Han Ling and thrown into the lake. Two of them are still lying in the hospital and have not been discharged.
When they heard that the visitor was Han Ling, the four young guards thought that Han Ling had come to cause trouble again, and they were immediately frightened.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to cause trouble this time."
Seeing the appearance of these guards, Han Ling frowned slightly: "Just report it truthfully."
"You, just wait a moment, I'll report it right away."
The young man who spoke first quickly took out his walkie-talkie and went aside to report the situation to his superiors.
"Looking at this posture, the Wulin Alliance and others have already cast a shadow on you."
Jiang Sheng looked at Han Ling strangely. He didn't expect the people in the Wulin League to be so afraid of Han Ling.
"That's necessary. Not only in the Wulin League, but in the entire Longjing circle, few people dare to mess with my sister."
Han Feng held his head up with a proud look on his face: "These days, those who are soft are afraid of those who are hard, and those who are hard are afraid of risking their lives. My sister is a typical life-threatening boss, and she is also the kind of desperate big sister with a strong backer."
"Brother-in-law, as long as you are with my sister, no one in Longjing will dare to bully you."
"Don't call me brother-in-law anymore."
Jiang Sheng glared at Han Feng angrily and said fearfully: "Ling'er and I don't have that kind of relationship. Don't let you be misunderstood."
"Brother, don't talk nonsense."
Han Ling also scolded her seriously.
"It's just a matter of time."
Han Feng squinted his eyes and muttered secretly: "As long as I solve the stumbling block between you, then you will naturally be together."
Han Ling glanced at the young man who was communicating on the walkie-talkie and strode forward directly.
"What do you want to do?"
The other three young men looked at Han Ling nervously but did not dare to step forward to stop her. They were forced to keep retreating.
"Although I'm not here to cause trouble, I don't have time to wait here."
Han Ling kept walking and said coldly: "The Wulin Alliance should know how to treat guests!"
Han Feng followed Han Ling immediately.
Jiang Sheng hesitated and then chased after him.
In fact, during this visit to the Wulin Alliance, Jiang Sheng felt a little guilty even if he was accompanied by Han Ling and his sister.
The Jiangzhong branch of the Wulin Alliance was destroyed because of Jiang Sheng, and so many people in the Jiangbei branch died at the hands of Jiang Sheng. Now he takes the initiative to come to the door again, which is a bit too arrogant.
Han Ling, who had been in trouble with the Wulin Alliance, was familiar with the route to the Wulin Alliance's station, and led Han Feng and Jiang Sheng towards their destination without stopping.
Along the way, disciples from the Martial Arts Alliance kept rushing over to block the three of them in a fan-shaped array.
But these people just stared at Han Ling nervously, and then kept retreating as Han Ling advanced. No one dared to step forward to stop her.
The previous guards used walkie-talkies to report the arrival of the peak, but they could not contact the higher-ups directly, and the news had to be reported at various levels.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Sheng and the others had arrived in front of the magnificent gate of the Wulin League.
When the senior leaders of the Wulin Alliance learned about Han Ling's arrival, they were puzzled, but after learning that the other party had no intention of causing trouble, they were too lazy to show up.
"Welcome Miss Han."
A middle-aged man with long hair and elegant temperament, wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan, stood in front of the door. While shaking the folding fan, he smiled and said hello in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
"This man's name is Wu Ming. He is a deacon at the Wulin Alliance headquarters and has innate cultivation."
Han Ling immediately whispered in Jiang Sheng's ear: "When I made trouble last time, this guy stepped forward to stop him immediately, but he was slapped away by several innate experts in my family."
"The Wulin League is really full of talents, and every single deacon is in the innate realm."
Jiang Sheng nodded and secretly sighed: "It's not that the Wulin Alliance is unable to deal with Han Ling's troubles, but it's because of the power of the Han family and the Wang family that they allow Han Ling to make trouble."
"Mr. Wu Ming, I sincerely apologize to you and the Wulin Alliance for my previous reckless and rude behavior."
Han Ling bowed her hands and solemnly expressed her attitude.
"It doesn't matter, Miss Han is just making a small fuss, we don't take it to heart."
After confirming that Han Ling was not here to cause trouble, Wu Ming waved his hand openly, closed the folding fan, and invited: "The visitor is a guest. Let's go in and talk about anything."
Under the leadership of Wu Ming, Jiang Sheng and the other three entered the gate. As soon as they entered the courtyard, Jiang Sheng was attracted by a huge stone over four meters high standing between the gate and the main hall.
