Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Since it was the patriarch who spoke, Ling Yao's idea of ​​being an ostrich and burying his head in the sand is considered disillusioned.

He let Ling Xiao's stupid goose follow the boy who led the way to the contestant's place, and walked slowly to the treasure pavilion in the clan alone.

When Ling Yao arrived at the destination, the patriarch Ling Weiran was standing outside the attic door with his hands behind his back, it seemed that he had been waiting for a long time.

Ling Yao was about to salute to the patriarch when he saw Ling Weiran wave his hand: "When there are no outsiders, these vain courtesy can be avoided. Knowing that you don't want to come, you insist on protesting to me, causing me to drink here for a long time northwest wind."

"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Ling Yao grinned sloppily, "It's been a long time since I've been here, and I took a long detour."

Ling Weiran gave him a sideways glance, turned around and took out the key to unlock the warehouse door:

"I know you kid is doing well in Changling Jianmen. I don't like these treasures of the Ling family, and the position of the head of the Ling family! It seems that it won't be long before I, an old guy, can't handle it." Move you!"

"Nothing, nothing!" Ling Yao said eagerly on purpose, and followed Ling Weiran unhurriedly, "Second Uncle, in my eyes, you are a lofty mountain, beyond reach, and I still have to rely on you You can get along better in the Ling family and Jianmen with your breath, right?"

There are four floors in the Treasure Pavilion.The first layer is stacked with ordinary weapons.In the eyes of ordinary people, they are all high-grade fine products, but in the eyes of their own cultivation, they are just ordinary iron utensils.

After all, there are still many ordinary people living under the Ling family, and they need to be managed and rewarded, and let them do things for the Ling family, so that the huge Ling family can lay a solid foundation.If not, these things would have been broken into the Treasure Pavilion of the Ling family.

Ling Weiran's eyes didn't give any attention to these things, and he walked up to the second floor.

On the second floor are all kinds of elixirs and rare treasures of the Ling family, ranging from the first grade to the fifth grade.And all the prizes to be awarded in this big competition are stored here.

As for the third and fourth floors, the magic weapons and martial arts secrets accumulated by the Ling family for many years are placed respectively.Ling Yao visited them frequently when he was a child, so he didn't get distracted to see them this time.

"I thought that this time, Ling Xiao, who rose from under your hands, would be sure to win the championship; no matter how bad it is, he is also a kid from Xia Xi's team. But I didn't expect that it was Ling Tianyi's son."

Ling Weiran took off the medicines that were the prizes of the competition one by one, and put them in the small mustard bag in his hand,

"The grievances and grievances between Ling Tianyi and Ling Tianyi back then, I never harmed my family. But if I want to personally present his son with a big award... Ask yourself, I don't have that kind of tolerance, so I have to leave the matter to you juniors.

"I also know that although you have a heart for the Ling family, after all, you put your main business on cultivation and have no intention of taking the position of the head of the family. It's a pity, you are the best candidate..."

Ling Yao was afraid that Ling Weiran would blame him, so he quickly responded: "The kid is stupid, he can't do both, he can only disappoint the second uncle's expectations and good intentions. My second brother, third sister, fourth sister, fifth brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh...Forget about Seventh, Ling Xiao is a fool. Everyone is talented and ambitious, and Second Uncle is not worried about being chosen."

Ling Weiran angrily threw the small bag into Ling Yao's arms: "I don't know what you're thinking, kid?! You just want to push everything away, just like your father. It's good to have nothing to do with it. This You don’t want to do the awarding, but those ambitious boys want to rush to do it! It’s a rare opportunity for them to be able to show up in front of everyone instead of me!

"But so what? Their methods and temperament have not yet been honed, so I don't feel at ease if I hand over the Ling family to them!

"Besides, how can they give awards and admonitions to this year's participating juniors with their meager accomplishments? I'm afraid they will lose the old face of the Ling family and me!"

Ling Yao cocked his mouth, unable to refute.

Although his cultivation level is at most above the middle level in Changling Sword Sect, he is at most a second-rate disciple, so he is not very good at it.But after all, it is a sect where geniuses come forth in large numbers.

Among the younger generation of the Ling family, except for Ling Xiao who was instructed by him and entered the Danyang realm at the age of 16.Even if he is not as good as him, he is already a phoenix in the Ling family.The other boys and girls are now seventeen or eighteen years old, and some of them don't even have the Danyang state, and they can't even do it.

Among Ling Weiran's direct brothers and sisters, their cultivation is not as good as those of the family elders, and it is difficult to calm down the situation.

It is not easy to leave this matter to the elders of the family, let alone the head of the branch clan...

The only one Ling Weiran could choose was Ling Yao, the recognized genius of the Ling family.

"Exactly, you said before that you value that kid Ling Linhan. You can also win over him when awarding awards and admonitions. The grievances of our older generation should have ended long ago. You don't need to worry about me. If there is one more person who is willing to serve The genius of the Ling family is also a good thing for the Ling family."

Ling Yao rolled his eyes in his heart.Well, he operated in secret before, and there is still a follow-up pit waiting for him to jump!

"Well, well, I didn't say I wouldn't do it, did I?" He scratched his head, "But that Ling Linhan seems to have some prejudice against our master, I'm afraid my solicitation will be dirty."

"You can figure it out on your own, I'm going to rest."

Ling Yao looked at his second uncle's resolute back without turning his head, and suddenly felt... the fight between the patriarchs of his father's generation, and the branch clan's fight was bloody and bloody, but in the presence of his father Among the two brothers and sisters, whoever loses will be the patriarch, right?

One of you likes to eat, drink and have fun than the other, and the other likes to be lazy and fish, I really doubt it! !

……

The results of the competition have been settled, and the focus of the audience and players is no longer on the rankings.More people, either openly or secretly, are looking forward to seeing the grand prize.

And Ling Yao, who was working hard, held a mustard bag and faced the eyes of all parties with different expressions. Although he kept complaining in his heart, he still had an extremely cold and majestic look on his face, as if he was unmoved by everything in front of him.

Awards and admonitions are actually a process - to show the majesty of the Ling family to the people under the Ling family, and then to give the contestants a sense of ceremony and honor.

Ling Yao proceeded step by step, awarded the prizes that had been set long ago to everyone according to the order of the master of ceremonies, and then casually gave a few words to these juniors, and the task was considered to be completed.

The content of the admonishment is nothing more than what the contestants said about their performance, and only they can hear it.When it was Ling Xiao's turn, Ling Yao smiled, patted the other person's shoulder, and said through gritted teeth: "You boy, remember it for me, don't dare to randomly accept women given by others..."

Ling Xiao's face turned pale, he shivered, and secretly sent a voice transmission: "No, big brother... I remember, I really remember! You mention this when everyone is looking at you, I feel flustered..."

Ling Yao ignored his response at all, turned and left mercilessly.

……

Today's ticket is still chasing updates.

"Hey! "The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth" has been updated! I read the book reviews before, didn't you say that the author is slow to update? I feel that the efficiency can still be read these days?"

He muttered to himself, staring at the phone screen.He picked up the phone with one hand and pressed the latest chapter with one hand, and fumbled with the other hand to find the freshly poured wolfberry tea by his bedside.

"Old rules, read the content of the novel first."

[Patriarch Ling Weiran did not come forward to give the award and admonishment, which made many people confused.Only Ling Linhan knew that that person must have remembered Ling Tianyi, who had competed with him for the position of patriarch, and was unwilling to personally award and admonish him.

But soon, a person holding a mustard bag symbolizing the patriarch appeared.

Ling Linhan followed the crowd and caught sight of the person standing not far away.

The person who came was Ling Yao, who was also a genius of the Ling family but had a much higher status than him.

"It would be convincing to have Young Master Ling come." There was a voice of discussion among the crowd, "After all, this one, who belongs to the same generation, is much stronger than all the participating teams present."

"No, it's more than enough for Young Master Ling to give them advice."

"Let me see, the patriarch didn't come by himself this time, but let this Young Master Ling replace him. He is paving the way for Young Master Ling to take power and become the head of the Ling family in the future, hehe!"

"Oh, maybe it really means something like that."

"That's not necessarily the case. Apart from Young Master Ling, there are not many people in the younger generation who can see it. If you don't choose him, who else can you choose? Only he will be in charge of the Ling family in the future, and everyone will recognize it!"

The voices in the crowd disturbed Ling Linhan's mind a little.But he quickly forced himself to calm down.Although Ling Yao is strong right now, it is not out of reach for him.

As long as he relies on his patriarch's inheritance and continues to practice hard, he will be able to surpass the opponent in the future and make everyone believe in him!

He can't be shaken, can't be impetuous.Since Ling Yao hasn't completely broken his face with Heng Nan, he is also willing to continue to accept the benefits of the master's family, and listen to Ling Yao's admonition to him, whether it can help him improve his cultivation; or, take the opportunity to inquire about the master's family Attitude towards Hengnan.

Ling Yao's award-giving and admonishment session is quite impressive, and people can't find any mistakes.When he was admonishing Ling Xiao, Ling Linhan noticed that after Ling Yao patted Ling Xiao's shoulder, Ling Xiao's body stiffened immediately, and his complexion was also very ugly.

It seems that Ling Xiao was not strong enough to prevent him from winning the championship. Instead, he had to remind Ling Yao himself to save his life. reprimand and warning.For a while, the attitude of the audience became a little subtle.

The five-year agreement between him and Ling Yao was not hidden from others, and most people already knew about the discord between the two.Now it's just further verification.

Finally, Ling Yao walked up to him.

Ling Linhan took the third-grade spirit dew that Ling Yao handed over with a calm expression.The third-grade spirit dew is indeed of extraordinary quality, even through the bottle, Ling Linhan can feel the rich spirit in it.

But although Ling Yao didn't like him, there was no pain or dissatisfaction in his expression. It can be seen that the third-grade Linglu was the same as Ling Linhan, and even Ling Yao looked down on him.

"12 years old, in the early days of Danyang, is indeed a rare genius." Ling Yao said slowly, "I heard that you have been studying in the outer courtyard of Shenlong Academy before?"

Ling Linhan couldn't see clearly what Ling Yao wanted to do for a while, but she just answered truthfully: "Yes. When I go back this time, I can be promoted to the inner courtyard of the branch."

The 12-year-old Danyang Realm, Ling Linhan does have the capital to immediately enter the inner courtyard of the branch.But it seemed to Ling Yao that he wanted to show off deliberately, which made him frown.

"Shenlong Academy is run by the royal family. After graduation, you can only work for the royal family. There are many restrictions. If you enter the inner court, you will not be able to turn back. If you stop here and don't enter the inner court, I can also learn from the teacher. The door recommends you."

"The division Changling Jianmen has the same status as Shenlong Academy. You can also get the best teaching and training resources. And the sect is not as restrictive as the academy. I can also take care of you. Would you consider it?"

What an enticing proposition!

Although the Ling family is small and powerful, and occupies a place in Wolong Kingdom, they are still under the rule of Zhou Chenyu, the king of Wolong Kingdom.

And this Shenlong Academy is specially established by the royal family in order to train and absorb the masters of Wolong Kingdom. Naturally, it has strong teachers and rich resources.And after graduation, he directly entered the royal sphere of influence, with a bright future.

With Ling Linhan's status, he couldn't even get into the branch of Shenlong Academy.But he accidentally saved Tian Xi's life back then, and was appreciated by Tian Xi.And after Tian Xi wrote him a letter of recommendation, Ling Linhan actually got into school smoothly!And the teachers of the college also took good care of him!

This made Ling Linhan have to wonder what kind of relationship Tian Xi, the old man, had with the Shenlong Academy.

But he didn't expect Tian Xi's admiration to let him directly enter the main courtyard of Shenlong Academy.And he also firmly believes that he must be able to obtain this qualification by relying on his own ability.

And this Changling Sword Gate can stand side by side with Shenlong Academy in Wolong, which is naturally extraordinary.

Changling Sword Sect originated from Xiaoyao Sword Ancestor, passed down in one line, but developed independently.There is a flourishing and thriving situation.Its inheritance has been nearly ten thousand years, and the sect system is perfect.

In contrast, Changling Sword Sect has a higher threshold for accepting apprentices, and the internal competition is more brutal and fierce.However, there is no such thing as graduation in Jianmen, and there is a complete cultivation system all the way to Dharma Venerable, so the future development is relatively free.

This is also more in line with Ling Linhan's original intention of going further on the road of practice and living a chic life.

It can be said that the two have their own strengths, and both are the existences that many practitioners yearn for.

However, for Ling Linhan, the tempting conditions proposed by Ling Yao are just bait for fishing.

The internal resources of the sect are all based on competition, and the interpersonal relationship is complicated.If Ling Yao didn't take the first step, Ling Linhan wouldn't be afraid to make a breakthrough.But Ling Yao has been in Changling Jianmen for several years, judging from his performance in the Ling family, it can be inferred that he is quite prosperous in the sect.

If Ling Linhan crashed in, on the surface it was Ling Yao who gave him a chance, but actually he fell into Ling Yao's trap.

In Changling Sword Gate, isn't he Ren Lingyao's choice?As long as Ling Yao made a statement and didn't deal with him, there must be people in the sect who made trouble for him and robbed him of resources.

Ling Linhan is not afraid of troublemakers, but he is also unwilling to be delayed by such trivial matters in his practice.

"Thank you, Eldest Young Master, for your kindness. Lin Han appreciates it. It's just that I'm close to the teacher of the academy, and the teacher expects a lot from me. Lin Han really can't live up to the teacher's wishes."

"Forget it, you know it yourself. In the future, the Ling family will rely on a genius like you to continue to gain a firm foothold in Wolong Kingdom. Don't disappoint the Ling family's investment and support for you." Ling Yao frowned slightly. Eyebrows, but there is still a dignified look in the words.

"Linhan understands." Ling Linhan changed his provocative posture and appeared respectful in front of Ling Yao.

But after these words, both of them already knew a little bit.

There is no possibility of reconciliation between them. ] (from Chapter 32 of "The Way of the Universe" - Bait and Trap)
