Chapter 699 Past Events, Royal Cause and Effect
“Junior Brother Zhou, this is the information you need.”
Taking the booklet handed over by Xiao Lie, Zhou Qing nodded and thanked:
“Thank you, Senior Brother Xiao.”
“It’s a trivial matter.”
Xiao Lie reminded again: "We can find out this information, but I can't guarantee whether it is all. Junior brother can use it as a reference."
"I understand."
Pursuing information has its limits after all. It is impossible to know everything, and it is not possible to look back in time and space to observe everything.
Looking at Zhou Qing, Xiao Lie stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, and said seriously:
"Junior brother Zhou, don't let me lose my prestige as the number one true disciple of Xuandu Temple. If anything happens, you can come back to me. If it doesn’t work, go to my master, my master!”
"A few heavenly masters are nothing in front of my Xuandu Temple!"
Zhou Qing was slightly startled, surprised by this senior brother's bold words, and then laughed.
"Don't worry, senior brother."
Although Xiao Lie's words are a bit vulgar, they are also true.
Several experts in the heavenly realm are indeed nothing compared to themselves in front of Xuanduguan. Not to mention the large number of powerful men in Xuanduguan, even in the heavenly realm, there are still differences between superior and inferior. .
A Daluo Heaven Realm like Taoist Hengxin cannot be blocked by the Heaven Realm below.
After chatting with Xiao Lie for a few more words, Zhou Qing said goodbye and left. On the way, he opened the booklet in his hand and read the information on it.
The above record clearly states some things that happened during the day when the father and daughter first arrived at the Ling family.
When the father and daughter came to visit for the first time, they were not welcomed by the Ling family, and some of the Ling family members were even ready to drive them away.
However, with the help of some other people, the father and daughter were allowed to meet Ling Yue.
Later, during the day, the father and daughter wanted to stay in the Ling family and reunite as a family, which naturally aroused opposition from some of the Ling family members.
But with Ling Yue's pleading and the help of some people, the father and daughter got a chance.
During the day, Bai Ruoyue proved her own talent. After discussion within the Ling family, they were happy to see one more true blood warrior and one more genius, so they were finally able to stay. At the Ling family.
But in addition to proving strength and talent, the Ling family has other conditions.
The Ling family also asked the father and daughter to be loyal to the Ling family and not to leave. They must stay in the Ling family for the rest of their lives and not go anywhere.
At the same time, during the day, this true blood warrior still needs to use his own strength to contribute to the Ling family.
For example, I have to run around and perform some tasks for the Ling family.
In this way, the Ling family can accept the father and daughter, and at the same time, promises to provide Bai Ruoyue with the treatment of a normal Ling family disciple.
This does not look like the son-in-law of the Ling family, but rather like a thug hired by the Ling family.
From then on, Bai Tian and his daughter settled down in the Ling family.
Of course, this is just a summary. In fact, during the actual process, what they encountered during the day was not just the word "opposition", but also some verbal cynicism, as well as all kinds of embarrassing and difficult criticism.
This part of the information also clearly records who were the people in the Ling family who suppressed and made things difficult for Tian Tian and his daughter, and who were the people who spoke for them.
After that, although Bai Tian's family was reunited, they were also very busy during the day. They often had to go out to do things under the orders of the Ling family. It was very common to encounter danger.
Bai Ruoyue, on the other hand, lives deep inside the Ling family and has little contact with others. Ling Yue has always been with her.
But there is a reason why Bai Ruoyue lives in seclusion. According to the intelligence, not long after she first came to the Ling family, she left the Ling family with a Ling family disciple named Ling Qingqing. She visited Yujing.
But on Jiu'an Street in Kang'anfang, Bai Ruoyue and the two met a group of people.
It was composed of disciples from the Ling family and several other aristocratic families. During that encounter, the Ling family disciples on the opposite side mocked Bai Ruoyue and told their companions that they were a pair of people. This is what I, the begging father and daughter of the Ling family, say.
The man's companions were also disdainful and said a lot of unpleasant things.
Under the protection of Ling Qingqing, the group of people were driven away, but Bai Ruoyue and the others also returned directly to Ling's house.
Since that time, Bai Ruoyue rarely went out and spent most of her time in Ling Yue's yard.
After seeing this, Zhou Qing had no expression on his face and remembered the person who met Bai Ruoyue that time in his heart.
Ling Hao, Ling Chen.
Zhang Huan from the Zhang family, Gu Tong from the Gu family, and Guo Zhaohui from the Jiu Sheng martial arts school.
The first two are forces on a lower level than the Ling family, and there are no heavenly masters in the family.
The latter is a famous martial arts gym in Yujing City, and the current owner is a master of the Tongtian realm.
In addition to that conflict outside the Ling family, Bai Ruoyue also had conflicts with people within the Ling family.
It was three months after she came to the Ling family. That day was the time when the Ling family distributed resources to their disciples.
The resource belonging to Bai Ruoyue was intercepted by a disciple of the Ling family named Ling Cuiling on the way to give it to her. Ling Cuiling then took part of it and gave it to Bai Ruoyue herself.
She also said that she was reaching a critical juncture in her cultivation, so she borrowed some of her cultivation resources from Bai Ruoyue and would return them to Bai Ruoyue later.
What’s even more outrageous is that Ling Cuiling also said that she might have to borrow some resources from Bai Ruoyue later.
Bai Ruoyue asked Ling Cuiling to return the things to her, but she was refused. The two continued to argue verbally and eventually started fighting.
The subsequent result was that both of them were punished. However, according to the information Xiao Lie investigated, Ling Cuiling's punishment was revoked within a few days.
It was canceled by a disciple named Ling Ao. Ling Ao's identity was also stated, the son of Ling Zhu, the core of the Ling family's generation.
That Ling Cuiling is the person clinging to Ling Ao.
After this conflict, there was a period of calm, and then the most absurd and malicious conflict occurred since Bai Ruoyue entered the Ling family.
That time I took Bai Ruoyue out to Ling's house to do some business during the day, and happened to meet Ling Zhu, Ling Ao's mother and son, and a group of servants leaving the house in Ling's house.
During the day, Bai Ruoyue took shelter and allowed Ling Zhu and his son to leave first. However, one of the servants around them suddenly became angry, saying that the Yinhe eyeball in Bai Ruoyue's arms was looking around, and there was a fierce light inside. If you are disrespectful to others and want to clean up the galaxy, the Ling family will not allow such wild dogs to exist.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing laughed angrily.
I am used to being a dog, and I saw that Xinghe looks like a dog, so like is repulsive, right?
Of course Tian Tian and Bai Ruoyue refused such a request. Ling Zhu and her son didn't say anything, but they immediately responded to the Ling family's senior management afterwards.
He exaggerated and slandered her to the maximum extent, and had Bai Tian punished and even threatened to be kicked out of the Ling family.
After that time, Ling Yue, who had been in a closed state, was also sent outside to do various things with Bai Tian and contribute to the Ling family.
Bai Ruoyue seldom left the Ling family and basically stayed at home.
These are relatively direct conflicts, as well as many small disputes and many verbal sarcasms. Zhou Qing sees them all and keeps them in his heart.
Although Bai Ruoyue did not encounter any danger in the Ling family, she was indeed targeted.
The intelligence also specifically mentioned that after the Ling family discovered that Bai Ruoyue's strength was abnormal, some people also coveted the skills she practiced.
I tried to get martial arts skills from Bai Ruoyue, but I never succeeded.
More than a year passed in this situation, and then it was not until Zhou Qing came to Yujing.
The information specifically pointed out that Bai Ruoyue practiced very hard after coming to the Ling family. Especially after not going out, she spent most of her time immersed in cultivation, almost always hovering at the limit.
After more than a year of living conditions between Tian Tian and his daughter, there is another piece of information about Ling Zhu and Ling Ao.
The intelligence pointed out that Ling Ao's age was older than Bai Ruoyue's, which meant that Ling Zhu became pregnant and gave birth to her son before Ling Yue.
But the problem came. Lingzhu was bound to be engaged to his employer at the beginning, and at that time, there was no information that Lingzhu had become a Taoist companion.
The child Ling Ao was suddenly brought back from outside by Ling Zhu after Ling Yue and Bai Tian were forced to separate. After testing, it was undoubtedly Ling Zhu's bloodline.
In other words, Lingzhu had already been with others in private and gave birth to a child despite being bound by his employer's engagement.
Then Lingzhu begged his elders and threw the marriage contract on Ling Yue, which led to the tragedy of the daytime family!
As for the person Ling Zhu had secretly fallen in love with back then, Xiao Lie also gave a name here.
Bai Chengqian.
Daqi, the fifth prince.
At the end of the information, Xiao Lie also specifically emphasized that his boss might have investigated this, so he did not delve into some matters.
As for the Ling family, the Ling Zhu lineage has become more and more powerful in the Ling family in recent years, and has a much closer relationship with the royal family.
The information stated that the fifth prince had just married a powerful wife from his natal family and had some scruples. He rarely took care of the Ling family and even gave away his children for adoption.
Now that the fifth prince himself is full-fledged, the favor the Ling family has received from the emperor is much heavier.
Looking at this lot of information, Zhou Qing's thoughts changed. At the same time, some of the doubts that he had just heard about Bai Tian and Ling Yue were also answered.
If the royal family was secretly coordinating the engagement, then it would be reasonable for the owner not to further retaliate against the Ling family, nor to hold Ling Zhu accountable to the original partner of the engagement, despite the loss of face.
It makes sense that the Ling family agreed so easily to change the marriage contract between the two major families from Ling Zhu to Ling Yue.
After the owner's marriage was ruined, it was not difficult to find out the whole story. It was easy to find out that Ling Yue was actually just a "scapegoat."
Normally speaking, it is absolutely impossible to pass on the marriage contract and fool the boss.
If Ling Yue had an accident, the owner would definitely ask Ling Zhu, the original owner of the engagement, to fulfill the contract.
But the problem is that Lingzhu got on the royal family's boat...
In this case, he can only accept this confusing account.
Zhou Qing stood still and looked at the book in his hand. "Hoo!"
The flames rose up and burned them all.
Zhou Qing strode forward and returned to his yard, where Bai Ruoyue and An Lang were waiting.
"Master, you are back."
Zhou Qing nodded, walked towards Bai Ruoyue, looked at her like this, and then smiled and said:
"Let's go, I will accompany you to the Ling family, senior sister."
"By the way, senior sister , the Ling family wants you to practice the secret martial arts, how did the master deal with it?"
Bai Ruoyue was stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhou Qing to mention this.
“Dad said this was a chance achievement, and it cannot be passed on to others until I reach great success in my cultivation. Also, several elders of my mother helped me deal with it, so I never let them succeed.”
Zhou Qing nodded and said:
"I will solve this matter."
Kang'anfang.
When Zhou Qing came to Ling's house again this time, the concierge let them in respectfully without any questioning.
Bai Ruoyue had notified Ling Qingqing in advance on the way here, so not long after entering Ling's house, Zhou Qing saw a girl running over. She had a pretty face, braids, and lively eyes. , looks lively.
"Ayue, you're back!"
Bai Ruoyue smiled and held Ling Qingqing's hand, and asked: "Qingqing, what does the Ling family want from me?"
"Me too I don’t know, they just asked me to contact you, I'll tell you to come back, just go and see the head of the family."
Bai Ruoyue nodded, without asking any more questions, and introduced:
"Qingqing, this is my junior brother, Zhou. Clear.”
"I know, I know, the first true biography of Xuandu Temple, the banished immortal Zhou Qing!"
Ling Qingqing looked at Zhou Qing with admiration in her eyes.
Zhou Qing said gently: "Hello, Senior Sister told me about you."
"Ayue also told me about you."
Ling Qingqing said : "I just never said you were that powerful."
"Of course Junior Brother is awesome."
While saying that, Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue rushed to the place where they last saw the Ling family living.
When they were about to arrive, Bai Ruoyue said to Ling Qingqing:
"Qingqing, go to my house and wait for me first. I will go back later."
"Yeah, yeah ! ”
Walking into the living room, there were several people inside besides the head of the Ling family.
In addition to the head of the Ling family, there is also an old man, who is extremely old and gloomy.
But Zhou Qing can feel that he is also a master of the earth realm, and he and the Ling family master are the only two masters of the earth realm here.
As for the others, they are all in the Yin Shen True Blood Realm.
The head of the Ling family smiled and said: "Zhou Xiaoyou and Ruoyue are back, sit down quickly."
Everyone else set their sights on Zhou Qing, looking at him sharply and indifferently...
After sitting down, Bai Ruoyue asked:
"Master, the family is looking for me to come back. , I wonder what’s the matter?”
But before the Ling family master could speak, a middle-aged man with a cold face said:
“No one taught you the rules, do you have to be respectful when talking to the family master? ”
Bai Ruoyue lowered her eyes, while Zhou Qing looked over, stared at the man, and suddenly smiled.
"The Ling family leader didn't say anything, and you jumped out. Are you older than the family leader?"
"Zhou Qing, this is an internal matter of the Ling family. I am teaching the Ling family. Disciple."
Hearing this, Zhou Qing shouted coldly: "No one taught you the rules. Do you have to be respectful when talking to me?"
You are really confident after joining the royal family. He doesn't even want to call me a Taoist friend.
"Okay."
Ling's head glanced over. The man's mouth moved but he said no more words.
Then the head of the Ling family looked at Bai Ruoyue and said:
"You are with Little Friend Zhou, and your cultivation has progressed very quickly. In just a few days, you have broken through from the Great Bone Refining to Marrow Cleansing Realm, I am happy for you, but the reason why I asked you to come back this time is because of something happening in the clan."
When the head of the Ling family said this, some people in the living room were shocked. Time goes from the completion of bone refining to the marrow cleansing state?
With their eyesight, they could almost see Bai Ruoyue's cultivation level after she came in.
But the problem is that not all of these people understand Bai Ruoyue. They don't know that she was a master of bone refining a few days ago. They only think that she is in the marrow cleansing state.
Now that the truth is known, those who do not understand the situation are shocked.
There is no doubt that this is the method of the first true disciple of Xuandu Temple.
But this is too bizarre, this method is incredible!
The head of the Ling family ignored the others and continued:
"After discussion among the clan, your treatment in the Ling family will be upgraded to a higher level in the future. In ten days, there will be a clan meeting. If you perform well at the clan meeting, , then you can accept the inheritance of Tianwu Xue.”
"I called you back because I was afraid that you would not go home for the next ten days and miss the news."
"Ruoyue, prepare well and strive to achieve good results at the clan meeting. . ”
Clan meeting...
Zhou Qing thought of the information recorded in Xiao Lie's intelligence.
This Ling family meeting is a lively event. Disciples can show off their skills and express themselves at the meeting. Those who perform well will be rewarded.
Bai Ruoyue once participated in the clan meeting and achieved good results, but unfortunately, she did not get any good rewards in the end. In the last game, she was beaten by a Ling family disciple with desperate measures. Injured.
From the intelligence, it was a deliberate attack by the disciples of the Ling family.
Because in the clan meeting, secret techniques such as burning blood and fighting to the death are not allowed to be used.
This year's Ling family meeting will be in ten days...
Thinking of this, Zhou Qing had some concerns in his mind.
Bai Ruoyue was silent for a moment, then nodded and said:
"I will participate."
"Your father and mother will be back today." The head of the Ling family And said:
"After they come back this time, the family will not assign them any more tasks in a short time. You should practice with them."
Zhou Qing listened to these words and did not interrupt.
Whether it’s the daily treatment being raised to a higher level, or the tribe’s performance being rewarded with Tianwu studies, or the couple having a holiday during the day.
These are undoubtedly a kind of compensation and win-win.
Because of the appearance of Zhou Qing and the expression made by the Ling family, it is true that the Ling family now has an heir.
But isn’t Zhou Qing’s status expensive?
You must know that Ling Yue had applied for Bai Ruoyue to study the Ling Family's Tianwu School before, but was directly rejected without any room for negotiation.
After the head of the Ling family, several more sages spoke up and encouraged Bai Ruoyue.
At this time, Zhou Qing said:
“I wonder if I can come and take a look at the Ling family’s disciples when the Ling family meets?”
"It would be great if little friend Zhou could come and give some pointers to the immature brats in the clan."
The head of the Ling family readily agreed, because by then there would have been outsiders coming to watch.
Zhou Qing nodded, "I will definitely arrive as scheduled."
"There is one more thing."
Zhou Qing looked at everyone present with a sharp look in his eyes meaning.
"I got some interesting news from some channels. I heard that someone wants my martial arts skills?"
"Little friend Zhou, why do you say this?"
Zhou Qing said: " The exercises practiced by my senior sister were taught to her by me. She has no way to spread it. "
"Since someone wants that skill, then Senior Sister can't spread it. Shouldn't she be planning to take advantage of me later?"
"The Ling family? I will never do this.”
"I hope so."
Zhou Qing smiled softly, "If anyone is greedy, you can come to me directly. There is no way to get the skills from my senior sister."
Zhou Qing and Bai Ruoyue left the living room. After a long time, they heard the sound of banging on the table.
“It’s so arrogant. A practitioner in the realm of manifestation and marrow purification dares to talk to us like this!”
“Why don’t you say this in front of him?”
"..."
On the other side, when Zhou Qing and others came to the yard where Bai Ruoyue lived, they saw Bai Tian and another woman.
