Chapter 242 Return of the Storm
“What did you say?! The master craftsman Tiefutu broke through Contra——??!!!”
『Mu Zhi Castle』, in the gorgeous palace, years Under the "hibiscus tree" that has reached three hundred years, the lord of the country, Grand Duke Mufeng, stood up somewhat rudely and looked directly at the chamberlain in front of him.
"Your Majesty," the chamberlain bowed deeply and said respectfully: "The news came back from the secret guard we installed at the 'Lanyinling' Shanhaiyuan an hour ago."
“According to the report from the secret guard, it was said by Blue Silver Baron Ling Yi himself.”
"Ling Yi?" Upon hearing this name, Grand Duke Mufeng couldn't help but frown slightly: "He's back?"
Waiter: "Three hours ago, at noon, at the 'Blue Silver Collar' The one who showed up from Beikouhe Town also brought a little girl who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old."
"Huh——"
Grand Duke Mufeng took a long breath and tried his best to calm down. After regaining his composure, he turned his gaze to the chamberlain and said in a deep voice: "Send a message to Mu Li and ask him to pay attention to it recently. If Ling Yi comes to "Mu Zhi City", notify me as soon as possible!"
"In addition, ,"
He took a deep breath, but still did not suppress the surging emotions, "Send me someone to go to the "Gengxin City" of the [Star Luo Empire] as quickly as possible. I want to know, the master craftsman Iron Buddha, Have you really become a Contra?!"
"Yes!" The waiter agreed loudly, took a few steps back, and turned around to leave quickly.
“Bang——!”
Looking at the retreating figure of the chamberlain, Grand Duke Mufeng, who had been restraining his emotions until he disappeared, slapped his palm on the table in front of him. , breaking the thick white jade table into dozens of pieces, and the tea and snacks on it were scattered everywhere.
Outside the garden, the maids who had been kicked out early had lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, not daring to make any move.
...
[Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch]
“What?! That boy is back?!”
Mu Li sat on the seat that originally belonged to Mr. Jin , stopped practicing soul power meditation, and looked at the chamberlain who had just come from the palace with some surprise.
"Your Majesty, the Grand Duke asked me to tell you, in case Baron Ling Yi suddenly comes to visit later and you are unprepared..." the chamberlain said respectfully.
"Prepare?" Mu Li frowned immediately and said displeasedly: "What should I prepare for?"
"In terms of identity, I am an earl, and he is just a small baron. In this association Here, now I am the president, and he is just a vice-president. "
"Not to mention, he is just a great soul master, and I am a soul sect. I need to be careful because of his return. "Preparing?"
Faced with Mu Li's anger, the chamberlain remained calm, still lowering his head, and said softly: "Your Majesty, first of all, according to the investigation, Baron Ling Yi has now broken through to Soul Lord. A healing soul master."
"In addition, not to mention his strength, the connections Baron Ling Yi left in the principality in the past few years are also terrifying."
"Behind him are the soul emperor of the "Jade Phosphorus Snake" martial spirit, and the soul king of Count Jiangyuan..."
"Okay! "Mu Li waved his hand, interrupting the chamberlain's narration, and said impatiently: "I understand, I will pay attention to it later, no need to say it again! "
Nonsense! Do you really think that Mu Li is a playboy who is just waiting to die?
Isn't this just for the sake of face, did he say that deliberately~
This chamberlain I really don’t have any eyesight!
Mu Li, who had experienced those years, was really deeply touched by Ling Yi's 'terror'.
As for the network of connections, it can be said that Ling Yi is too weak. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the grand duke of [Shuimu Principality] would have a surname of 'Mu' or not.
That long-sleeved communication skills and super affinity, combined with the friendship and connections accumulated through treating injuries, almost made the middle and lower classes of the entire principality only know the 'Great Doctor' Ling Yi , but I don’t know Grand Duke Mufeng. During the period when Ling Yi's name was at its peak, the five marquises who were in charge of the five major military departments in the principality, their soldiers would always talk about the name "Ling Yi". The general's military orders above them did not have the execution ability of Ling Yi's words. powerful.
How can such a situation be tolerated with the status of Grand Duke Mufeng and the five marquises?
However, it is not that easy to move Ling Yi.
We must consider the power of the [Blacksmiths Association·Shuimu Principality Branch], which had just taken shape at that time, and the interests of Hanfeng Camp, 'Marquis of Cedar' Song Yao and [Blacksmiths Association·Shuimu Principality Branch] at that time. Community, we must consider the senses of those who were close to Ling Yi in the three major cities and five major military headquarters of the entire [Shuimu Principality] at that time...
The most important thing is that at that time, it was a time when flowers were blooming and fire was burning. Ling Yi, who was in the Oil Realm, knew how to advance and retreat, and returned directly to the 'Blue Silver Collar' without asking about the world outside.
After retreating, even Grand Duke Mufeng at that time breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little bit guilty towards Ling Yi.
In order to resolve this trace of guilt, Grand Duke Mufeng discussed with the five marquises and decided to send Ling Yi to the border battlefield between the two empires.
Life or death is determined by God!
I thought that with Ling Yi's wisdom, he should have understood the intentions of the senior officials of the principality. Even if he did not die on the battlefield, he would just stay outside and never come back.
The position of the 'Blue Silver Collar' lord is reserved for him, and the position of vice-president of the [Blacksmith Association·Shuimu Principality Branch] is also reserved, leaving a trace of dignity for both parties and others in the principality.
But now, he is back?
Thinking of this, an idea flashed in Mu Li's mind. He stared at the servant and asked word by word:
"Did Dugu Bo break through to Soul Saint?"
In his understanding, only in this way can Ling Yi have the confidence to return without fear of the past strife in the principality.
Faced with Mu Li’s question, the chamberlain shook his head.
“Huh——”
Mu Li breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of relief on his face: “That’s right, it’s not so easy for Soul Saint to break through.”
"Besides, even if Dugu Bo breaks through to Soul Saint, Ling Yi can't even hope to regain the leadership of the association.
Soul Saint, it's not like we don't have any here..."
As he was speaking, he heard the chamberlain whisper quietly:
"Your Majesty, according to the report from the secret guard, after Baron Ling Yi returned to the 'Blue Silver Collar' Shanhaiyuan, what happened to him? Relatives and friends said that his uncle, the former president of the [Blacksmiths Association], the master craftsman Tiefutu, broke through to the realm of Contra more than two months ago——"
木Li: "..."
...
In about the same time, the news about Ling Yi's return was conveyed to every concerned person in the entire [Shuimu Principality] at an extremely fast speed, bringing with it a shock that made them uneasy.
And the initiator of all this is still having the second celebration banquet in the ‘Blue Silver Collar’ Shanhaiyuan.
Standing in front of the main seat, Ling Yi raised his wine glass and looked around at the hundreds of people in the audience. An inexplicable smile flashed in his eyes, and a hearty laugh appeared on his face:
"Everyone, Let us raise a toast together to our 'Blue Silver Collar' and to everyone in the 'Blue Silver Collar'..."
