Chapter 455 Eight years too late

"[Martial Spirit Palace], "Temple Guard Knights" Zhang Ji, martial spirit "Wuji Stick", attack type eighty-eighth level fighting spirit Douluo, welcome to meet. Under the crown of the king and under the crown of the heart——! ”

As Zhang Ji, the deputy leader of the “Knights of the Temple Guard” finished speaking, the welcoming team behind him immediately erupted into a tsunami-like wave.

"Welcome to your Majesty Chen Xin Mian——!!!"*N

Facing such a battle, Ling Yi's expression remained unchanged, but he looked at everything in front of him with a smile on his face.

Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin, father and son, glanced at each other subconsciously, and then stood calmly on the spot. At the same time, they glanced at Ling Yi without any trace, observing his expression.

On the other hand, the four girls, Yang Shirley and A Yin, who were standing behind Ling Yi, had their eyebrows raised at this time. There was obvious anger in their beautiful eyes. They all looked at the stop just ahead with unkind expressions. Everyone in [Martial Spirit Hall] shouted.

Obviously, the welcoming ceremony of [Martial Soul Palace] was quite aimed at Ling Yi, the city lord of [Lingyun City], and they actually ignored him.

The four ladies of Yang Shirley glared at them, and the knights of the "Temple Guard Knights" ignored them directly. As the deputy leader, Zhang Ji could not ignore them in the same way.

Not to mention anything else, just from his trip to the "Star Dou Forest" eight years ago, his relationship with the young couple Ling Yi and Yang Shirley was still very good.

Today’s behavior was indeed unkind on his part.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ji looked at Ling Yi's handsome face, with a hint of apology in his eyes, and at the same time his eyes were a little evasive.

There is no way, the official level is overwhelming, not to mention that this probing behavior was personally signaled by His Majesty the Pope. No matter in terms of strength or status, there is no room for Zhang Ji to refuse.

Noting Zhang Ji's mood swings at this time, Ling Yi changed his usual considerate attitude and had no intention of walking up to greet Zhang Ji or actively talking to him.

Ling Yi didn't move, and the two titled Douluo Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin also didn't move, and the people in [Lingyun City] behind them naturally didn't move even more.

For a moment, an inexplicable silence fell strangely in front of the huge "Martial Spirit City".

The awkward atmosphere filled the air, making Zhang Jidu, whose strength had reached level 88, feel on pins and needles. He wanted to do something, but he didn't know how to break the deadlock in front of him.

At this moment, several more figures ran out from behind Zhang Ji and the other welcoming team, which was under the gate of "Martial Spirit City".

“Ayi!”

When the person arrived, the voice came from far away: "Long time no see——!"

Seeing the person coming, the smile on Ling Yi's face became slightly brighter, and he stepped forward: "Bishop Qi Qi , It’s been a long time, how are you?”

Li Qi passed by Zhang Ji and others, cast a helpless look at Zhang Ji, and then quickly faced Ling Yi, laughing: " Everything is fine, I just haven’t gotten together with you for a few days, Ayi, but I’ve heard your name a lot lately——!”

“Hi!” Ling Yi chuckled and shook his head in a humble tone. Said: "These are all false names. I am just a small healing soul master. I feel ashamed to say it -"

As he said that, Ling Yi turned his eyes to Zhang Ji who was aside: " Speaking of which, Captain Zhang, we haven’t seen each other for eight years. I think you may have forgotten about Ling Yi, a little healing soul master——"

"Ayi, I..." Zhang Ji opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to respond, so he could only turn his face away in shame.

Although there was still a smile on Ling Yi's face and there was no resentment in his tone, it was still difficult for him to face Ling Yi.

Shaking his head, Ling Yi did not say anything more, and turned to Faqi and said: "Bishop Faqi, we have been traveling all this way... Do you want to wait for us to enter the city first?" Let’s talk about it after we settle down somewhere?”

“Oh, yes! Yes, yes—!” Hearing this, Xiang Qi nodded and reached out to Ling Yi and Chen Jian behind him. Jun, Chen Xin and his son, as well as Yang Shirley, A Yin and others invited: "Please, Your Majesty, and all of you, please come with us..."

Not long after, there was a spacious courtyard somewhere in the city. middle.

When Ling Yi sent Fang Qi out and returned to the hall of the main house, he heard Yang Xueli say angrily: "I didn't expect that the man surnamed Zhang would turn his back on him and settle down directly outside the city. Brother's face!"

"That's right!" Liu Erlong said coldly, "I only welcome the two seniors and leave Brother Yi aside."

"Okay~" Ling Yi walked into the main room and comforted him: "This is just a small trial by [Martial Soul Hall]. Stay normal and don't let these trivial things from the outside world affect your own health." Mood and judgment."

"Testing?" Yang Xueli looked at the approaching Ling Yi: "Brother Yi, are you saying that Zhang is testing you?"

"It is not so much Zhang Ji who is testing me, but Qian Xunji who is testing the two seniors."

Ling Yi replied to Yang Xueli, but his eyes turned to Chen Jianjun and his son who were sitting beside them.

Chen Jianjun: "..."

Chen Xin: "???"

'Dad, what do Ayi mean by this? ’ Chen Xin asked her father with her eyes.

Chen Jianjun glanced sideways at his stupid son and did not respond. He only gave him a look of understanding.

...

At about the same time, in the Papal Palace.

"..., Your Majesty, the situation at that time was like this." Zhang Ji bowed his head, looking directly at the shiny floor under his feet, and said in a gentle voice before entering the city gate to greet Ling Yi and his party. The human condition is described.

Qianxunji pondered for a moment after hearing this. The hand on the armrest of the throne was tapping repeatedly, and then he said calmly: "It seems that Ling Yi is in the relationship between father and son in the Chen family." In my heart, my status is not low, but I still care about him."

Zhang Ji did not comment on Qian Xunji's words, but still maintained his respectful attitude and listened silently.

On the side, Mousos spoke up at the right moment, saluted Qianxunji above, and said: "Your Majesty, since Your Majesty Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin support Master Ling so much, should we adjust our hospitality to Master Ling?" Specifications?”

“Hmm——” Qian Xunji lowered his eyes and glanced at Mousos and Zhang Ji, but both of them had their heads lowered, their eyes and expressions could not be seen, and they were careless. He said: "Then let's follow the specifications of the three upper sects. The two titled Douluo are qualified enough——"

"Yes——!" Mousos bowed and agreed.

Just when Mousos and Zhang Ji were about to bow and leave, they heard a command from above that was neither sad nor happy, and could not detect any emotion:

"Also, make arrangements. , I want to meet this Master Ling——"Musos: "?"

Zhang Ji: "???"

Until he walked far away from the Pope's Palace, Zhang Ji felt dizzy. As soon as he came back to his senses, he immediately turned around to look He turned to Mousos next to him and asked: "Old Mu, what does your Majesty mean by this? Why did you suddenly summon Ayi?"

"I don't know." Mousos shook his head and frowned. Obviously he is at a loss as to what to do and has no clue.

Looking at Zhang Ji who looked worried, Mousos thought for a while and said with relief: "Don't worry, with your majesty's arrogance, as long as A Yi doesn't verbally abuse or show anything in front of you, His Majesty will not personally do anything to A Yi for such disrespectful behavior.”

"You also know A Yi's character. Although he is arrogant, he is always polite in his dealings with others and his speech and behavior. Even if he has different opinions with others, he communicates with them in a reasonable and well-founded manner. It is not like You're such a bigot, you can say 'f*ck' or 'ganle stuffing' without even noticing..."

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Ji's face turned red and he waved his hand to interrupt Muso. After Si's words, he said angrily: "Why are you bringing this up?! I, Lao Zhang, am already very upset in my heart today, and you are here to stab me..."

Immediately, Zhang Ji's face straightened, and he took a breath. He breathed out slowly and said to Mousos: "I am going to go back to seclusion. I will not participate in this matter. Please help me say sorry to Ayi. After I come out of seclusion, I will apologize to him in person." Apologize!"

As he said that, he turned to look at the much smaller Papal Palace behind him. Zhang Ji shook his head half-heartedly, and turned around and walked in the other direction without waiting for Mousos's answer. go.

At this moment, in the eyes of Mousos, Zhang Ji's originally tall and burly figure turned out to be a little rickety.

You know, even when the two brothers Qianjun and Jiangmo broke through to the Titled Douluo realm a few years ago, Zhang Ji, who has always regarded those two brothers as his competition target, has never been so frustrated.

After shaking his head, Mousos looked sad and turned towards the other courtyard where Ling Yi and others were staying.

On the way, they happened to meet Xiang Qi who was walking this way. After a brief exchange of words, the two finally went to find Ling Yi together to convey His Majesty the Pope's intention to meet him.

A quarter of an hour later, the Pope's Palace.

Qianxunji sat high on the papal throne, looking down at the figures below. His eyes first fell on Ling Yi’s handsome face that can be called the ceiling of mankind, and then turned to Chen Jianjun who stood behind Ling Yi with his hands behind his back. , and "Erlang" who is wearing a bright silver battle armor and a silver visor covering his face.

Not far away from Ling Yi and the others, Li Qi and Mousos had helpless expressions on their faces.

The two of them also said that His Majesty the Pope wanted to see Ling Yi and did not mention meeting Chen Jianjun and "Erlang" together, but Ling Yi still brought these two over.

Fortunately, to the relief of Moussos, His Majesty the Pope did not seem to be dissatisfied with this.

Qianxunji did not look at Mousos and Heqi, but looked at Chen Jianjun and "Erlang" with deep eyes, then turned his eyes again to Ling Yi, who looked calm and relaxed. .

A trace of imperceptible appreciation flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.

Even if Chen Jianjun is a Titled Douluo, with his Qi Sensing, he does not seem to be below the ninety-fifth level, even if the silver-armored and silver-faced "Erlang" is suspected to be the inheritor of a certain god and possesses Titled Douluo-level combat power, But where is this place?

This is the Pope's Palace, the Pope's Palace in "Martial Spirit City"!

The Elder Hall and the Enshrinement Hall are within easy reach, and more than double digits of titled Douluo can arrive here in an instant!

This also includes the ninety-ninth level ‘Invincible in the Sky’ Qian Daoliu!

Not to mention Chen Jianjun and "Erlang", the two 'mere' Titled Douluo, even if Tang Zhen and Yu Yuanzhen each brought their family's Titled Douluo elders to come here, It's inevitable that you will feel a bit apprehensive.

However, under the gaze of Qian Xunji, a Titled Douluo-level pope, Ling Yi dealt with it calmly from beginning to end, showing no sign of nervousness at all.

Either Ling Yi is a stupid young man who doesn’t know the heights of the world, and thinks that with two titled Douluo standing behind him, he can have no scruples; Calm and calm with an unchanging expression on his face.

Thinking of the information collected about Ling Yi in the past, Qian Xunji thought it should be the second type.

“Ling Yi?”

Condescendingly, Qian Xunji leaned over, Ling Yi raised his head, his two pairs of eyes flashed with completely different lights.

"My Lord, Ling Yi, I have met His Majesty the Pope~"

The gentle voice echoed in the empty Pope's Palace. Ling Yi raised his head, but at this moment, Qian Xunji suddenly had an illusion in his heart, as if he was the one who Is it the person standing below, and Ling Yi is looking down at him from a high position? !

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Qian Xunji put away the ridiculous thoughts that just appeared in his mind, looked at Ling Yi below, and continued: "If I had known you would achieve what you have today, I should have met you eight years ago. "

Ling Yi smiled slightly and said loudly: "Everything yesterday is like dying yesterday; everything today is like being born today."

"Your Majesty, eight years ago, Ling Yi didn't know what he could do. I have the opportunity to stand in this papal palace today.”

"Oh?" Qian Xunji selectively filtered out Ling Yi's previous words, and said pointedly: "You really don't know?"

"As far as I know, Ling Yi The master is known as the 'Seven Orifices and Exquisite Heart', and a pair of discerning eyes can see through the rise and fall of the Douluo Continent for fifty years..."

At this point, Qian Xunji deliberately stopped, waiting for Ling Yi's response. .

In response, Ling Yi curved his lips and said with a carefree smile: "Your Majesty, with [Martial Soul Palace]'s ability, I think you should know the situation between Ling Yi and [Tian Dou Empire]."

“This is just a drunken joke at a banquet, it cannot be taken seriously...”

"Can you take it seriously?" A sneer suddenly appeared at the corner of Qian Xunji's mouth: "If you can't take it seriously, then can Master Ling tell me your real plan on "Blue Silver Rice"? "

"Oh? Ling Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Qian Xunji, whose expression suddenly changed, with a surprised look on his face: "Why did your Majesty say this?" "

"What? "The sneer on Qian Xunji's face subsided, and he returned to his former indifference and arrogance: "Does Master Ling treat me as a fool? "

"Eight years later, even though I didn't see through your true intentions back then, now eight years have passed, do you think I still can't see through it? ”

Seeing the exchange of words between Ling Yi and Qian Xunji, Mousos and Qi Qi on the side were a little dumbfounded.

It's so pitiful that after so many years in [Martial Soul Hall], when have they ever seen His Majesty the Pope like this?

In addition, Ayi’s plan for “Blue Silver Rice”?

What plan?

At this moment, the two of them felt like fools, unable to understand or understand.

‘If I had known better, I would have gone into retreat with Zhang Ji~’*2
