Inside the room, an old man and a young man looked at each other.
"Hahaha! I still don't believe what my grandson said before. Now it seems that it's not that that kid is too exaggerated, but that he is a little conservative at all!"
Suddenly, the ancestor of the Zheng family lost all his momentum and let out a hearty laugh. How could he look like a bad old man who was decrepit just now and seemed like he might pass away at any time?
Even right before his eyes, the Zheng family ancestor's original gray hair suddenly grew a lot of black hair, and the wrinkles on his face that were like chicken skin also took on a new look. Although his hair was still gray and wrinkled, it seemed as if he had transformed in an instant.
, from seven to eighty years old, he has regained his youth and looks like a middle-aged man in his fifties.
The whole person seemed to have completely returned to his prime, and the eyes of the ancestor of the Zheng family were shining with wisdom.
"If I guess correctly, you should be the Young Master Ye Mu that my useless grandson calls you, right?"
The blurry shadow became slightly clearer, and then Li Ye's appearance was indeed revealed.
Of course, the appearance is still that of Ye Mu.
As if there was no surprise at all, Li Ye seemed to have expected that the ancestor of the Zheng family had seen through his identity. At this time, he sat down on a chair aside and said with a smile, "Senior Zheng, when did you guess?"
Are you here?"
Seeing Li Ye's reaction, the ancestor of the Zheng family was especially approving. He stroked his beard slightly and said with a smile, "Actually, I have already had suspicions from the moment you two appeared in Lieyang City."
"oh?"
This time, Li Ye was really surprised.
"Don't be nervous. Now that you are here, I have nothing to hide. In fact, it's not just the two of you, but also many people who have appeared in Lieyang City in the past few days. I have seen it."
Li Ye's expression changed, and the Zheng family ancestor's reaction gave him a guess.
"You don't have to guess. The Zheng family has a deep connection with Tianwaitian. Of course, there are no more than three people in the entire Zheng family who know about this matter."
really!
Li Ye nodded. If this is the case, then everything will be easily explained.
"You must be wondering why the Zheng family has connections with Tianwaitian but turns a blind eye to the development of Qingyang Sect?"
"Senior, please speak clearly."
A wry smile appeared on the face of the ancestor of the Zheng family, "It's not that the Zheng family just sat idly by, but that there was nothing we could do! Thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Zheng family were ordered to take root in Lieyang City, but unexpectedly they lost contact with that place soon after. Thousands of years ago,
I came here, but I only knew that I chose to escape from the world, and from then on the Zheng family lost all their support."
When Li Ye heard this, he nodded slightly but did not express any opinions.
The ancestor of the Zheng family also continued, "Over the past thousand years, Lieyang City has changed a lot, and the emergence of the Qingyang Sect is just one of them. Of course, there is also the He family."
"What's going on with the He family?"
"The He family, my Zheng family, have been doing a lot of research for many years, but apart from knowing that they are from outside the home like my Zheng family, they can't find out anything else. But the Qingyang Sect, after many years of research by the Zheng family, we learned that
It’s related to a huge sect.”
"Tianyang Sect."
The ancestor of the Zheng family was a little surprised. Seeing Li Ye's calm face, he nodded, "Yes, it is Tianyang Sect. If it were just the He family and Qingyang Sect, I, the Zheng family, would not be afraid, but now, I must
Young hero, you have also seen that Lieyang City has already lost control."
It was unexpected that the Zheng family was actually related to Tianwaitian. Of course, Li Ye was still dubious and did not completely believe what the old man said.
"Can I ask, which peak did the young hero come from?"
The ancestor of the Zheng family spoke tentatively.
Li Ye's heart moved and he said, "Tianshu Peak!"
"Tianshu Peak?!" The ancestor of the Zheng family showed a strange expression when he heard this, and Li Ye caught this change. However, the ancestor of the Zheng family was obviously not an ordinary person, and he immediately smiled, "It turns out that he is a high-ranking disciple of Tianshu Peak! No wonder he can
Let my useless grandson praise me like this."
Li Ye clearly felt that after he revealed that he was a disciple of Tianshu Peak, although the attitude of the ancestor of the Zheng family did not change, he still felt much colder than before.
"I wonder if the two young heroes are coming to Lieyang City this time, but what are the instructions from Tianwaitian?"
Looking at the expectant expression of the ancestor of the Zheng family, Li Ye didn't know how to answer.
Instructions? Li Ye even suspected that Tianwaitian had long forgotten this chess piece of the Zheng family!
Seeing Li Ye's hesitation, a wry smile appeared on the face of the ancestor of the Zheng family, "Young hero, you don't need to answer. In fact, I understand in my heart."
At this moment, Li Ye felt a little embarrassed. No matter whether the old man Zheng in front of him was really related to Tianwaitian or he was just trying to test it out, at least if it was true, he would feel cold-hearted.
The ancestor of the Zheng family is not weak in cultivation, at least in the secular world, he is definitely a top master!
Human Zun Dacheng! This level of cultivation even surpasses Shui Linglong, who was the head of the sixth-grade sect!
But for so many years, the Zheng family has been willing to stay dormant in this small city of Lieyang. If everything is not a lie, then Li Ye is really moved, how righteous this is.
"I wonder if I know why you two came to Lieyang City this time?"
Now that they have talked about business, Li Ye also hesitated, considered it for a moment, and then said thoughtfully, "Qingyang Sect, there have been many strangers recently. Is there any specific news from the Zheng family about this matter?"
He did not answer directly, but the ancestor of the Zheng family nodded when he heard the words, "Although there is no evidence, according to my opinion, those people are not ordinary casual cultivators, but masters of Tianyang Sect!"
Li Ye nodded, and then asked suddenly, "Does the Zheng family know the identities of those who broke into Qingyang Sect these days?"
This kind of inquiry is actually a kind of temptation from Li Ye!
He was 70% sure that those people were disciples of Tianwaitian, but now they fell into the hands of Tianyang Sect.
"I don't know this, but the Zheng family has already investigated the matter."
At the end of the sentence, the ancestor of the Zheng family suddenly brightened up and asked Li Ye, "Are those people the same as the two of you?"
Li Ye did not answer or deny. But he had an answer in his heart.
"It seems that among those people, there must be disciples of Tianwaitian."
No one in the entire Zheng family knew about this meeting, at least for the time being.
After returning to his room, Li Ye frowned.
"Young Master, this is the Zheng family?"
"There should indeed be some connection between the Zheng family and Tianwaitian, but it is definitely not like what the old guy said. He has been devoted to his old master for so many years."
Li Ye is not a fool. Although the ancestor of the Zheng family behaved normally, he saw something else in it.
