Chapter 281: The Palace of Condensation

Ling Xiao nodded lightly, but was wondering in his heart how Shangguan Yutong recognized her. After all, when she disguised herself as Shangguan Yutong last time, she did not recognize her.

How could Ling Xiao know that for so long, Shangguan Yutong has always taken Ling Xiao to heart. A person's appearance can change, even his eyes can change, but some unintentional small movements or habits can betray him. However, such subtle things are impossible to master if you are not very close to him!

Therefore, the smart Song Mingyue of Bingxue quickly thought of this key, and the eyes of Shangguan Yutong became more and more complicated. She could tolerate Ye Zi, Isa, and even tolerate the two pretty little maids of Feng Ling and Ling Xiao. That was because she belonged to a latecomer, although she was Ling Xiao's first woman.

But Song Mingyue, who was born in a big family, also knew that it was not realistic to want a man to have only one woman in his life, so it was the most important thing to win the position he deserved as soon as possible. Moreover, although Ling Xiao has always been indifferent to these things, if a woman is jealous, it will obviously cause men's displeasure.

Many lessons were summarized by countless predecessors, and Song Mingyue didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

However, the woman in front of me obviously knew her husband first, and it was not a common relationship! Otherwise, how could she recognize Ling Xiao only after seeing her twice? To be precise, she should have only seen her once at the trading conference and recognized her. However, there were many people at the time and they did not come up to recognize each other.

But judging from Ling Xiao's performance, he didn't seem to want to meet her! In this way... this woman is interested in her husband, but her husband is... So Song Mingyue is very smart, and these things are analyzed almost instantly in her mind.

Thinking through these, Song Mingyue suddenly showed a bright smile on her face, but because of her disguise, the smile made people feel extremely charming! Many men who were following this were stunned.

Shangguan Yutong cursed in her heart: Fox charming! Little fairy! When did Ling Xiao have such a woman? This kid is getting more and more excessive!

The three beauties sat here almost forming a trend of competing for beauty. Although Qiu Yueyao is older, she looks mature and charming and more feminine. Moreover, there is no trace of time left on her face. Strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a young woman with a flower letter!

What can be seen that she is approaching middle-aged is Qiu Yueyao's eyes that have experienced vicissitudes. Although they are very beautiful, they can feel the vicissitudes and the accumulation of time from it.

Unlike a young and bright woman like Shangguan Yutong and Song Mingyue, her eyes are as pure as a pool of autumn water.

In the restaurant, those who had eaten and were about to leave suddenly saw this very rare "scenery" and couldn't bear to leave. At the same time, countless jealous and envious eyes were cast on Ling Xiao, which made him feel very stressed.

After barely taking a few bites, Ling Xiao stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Song Mingyue stood up very obediently and followed Ling Xiao. Qiu Yueyao and Shangguan Yutong took a while, and also stood up and left.

The streets in the city are full of noisy feeling. Although the island is full of people from the Qin family, there are also many ordinary people. These ordinary people are no different from those inland people, but their quality of life is obviously much higher than those inland people. After all, they belong to the aristocratic family and do not have such high taxes. No matter what business they do, they will make a profit!

So the street shows a scene of singing and dancing. As soon as Shangguan Yutong came out, she saw Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue standing in front of a stall not far away. She nodded slightly to Ling Xiao, and walked towards a secluded path with her master Qiu Yueyao.

This place is different from the place where the sects of the Buliuqi family live. It is very quiet and you can't even see a few people walking out. More than a dozen people came to Leng Ning Palace this time! All of them live in a separate courtyard. It can be seen how much the Qin family attaches importance to these slightly larger aristocratic sects.

After entering the yard, there were several young girls sitting on the stone bench under a big banyan tree in the yard eating all kinds of fresh fruits. When they saw Shangguan Yutong and Qiu Yueyao coming in with two strangers, they were stunned, but then they all stood up and greeted.

"Senior Sister!"

"Uncle Master!"

Yingying Yanyan, the voices of several girls were very nice. After greeting Qiu Yueyao and Shangguan Yutong, they turned their curious eyes to Song Mingyue and Ling Xiao's faces. Seeing the charming and charming Song Mingyue, the girls blinked their big eyes and couldn't help but take a few more glances. Leng Ning Palace is mainly women, but most of them are the kind of uninhabited and pure appearance, and there is no charming woman like Song Mingyue.

When they saw Ling Xiao, the girls were obviously even more curious. They couldn't help but look at the handsome young man secretly, thinking to themselves, could this man be the sweetheart of his senior sister?

Shangguan Yutong smiled gently at these girls. Although the girls were not old, their strength was much stronger than her! After taking the pills given by Ling Xiao, Shangguan Yutong's strength was only promoted from a second-level magic swordsman to a fourth-level, which surprised Shangguan Yutong's master Qiu Yueyao, because she is still only a fifth-level magic swordsman!

Although Qiu Yueyao has always been highly valued by Leng Qianqian, the master of Leng Ning Palace, and asked her to be responsible for all external affairs in the entire Leng Ning Palace, her strength is strength. The strength of Qiu Yueyao and his disciples cannot rank in Leng Ning Palace at all!

However, Leng Ninggong has always been low-key, and his disciples are very united, so no one discriminates against their masters and apprentices. On the contrary, because the masters and apprentices often go in and out of the secular world, they will bring back a lot of fresh gadgets every time they return to the sect, which makes their masters and apprentices very popular in the sect.

Just like these little girls, they are all personal disciples of this generation of palace master Leng Qianqian. The worst-in-class person has surpassed Qiu Yueyao and reached the strength of a sixth-level magic swordsman, but they are very polite to Qiu Yueyao.

Leng Qianqian, the contemporary palace master of Lengning Palace, is still Qiu Yueyao’s junior sister in terms of generations. She is only twenty-five years old this year, but she is extremely talented. With the inheritance of the palace masters of Lengning Palace throughout the dynasties, she now has the strength of the second-level sword sect!

If this news is put into the secular world, it will cause a huge sensation. The 25-year-old young sword sect is even expected to become a saint within a hundred years!

As a sect that can be ranked second-rate, Leng Ning Palace's strength is of course more than that. In Leng Ning Palace, the first few palace masters, the most powerful one has reached the fifth-level sword emperor, and the worst one is the second-level sword emperor!

The rules of Lengning Palace: After the Palace Master reaches the level of the Sword Emperor, he immediately steps off his post and passes the position of the Palace Master to the next post. Then he enters the sect’s place of cultivation to practice!

There are eight law enforcement elders in Lengning Palace, with the highest strength reaching the sixth-level sword sect, and the lowest one is also the fourth-level sword sect! These eight elders are already very old, so old that it is almost impossible to enter the realm of the Sword Emperor in their lifetime. Therefore, most of the things in Lengning Palace are not managed by the palace master, but by the eight sword sect elders!

There are male disciples in the outer sect of Lengning Palace, but the number is very small. They all control some of the industries of Lengning Palace, while the inner sect is all composed of female disciples!

There is also a nearly inhuman rule in Lengning Palace that no inner disciples are allowed to get married!

In other words, as long as you become an inner disciple of Lengning Palace, you must be inseparable from lust. Therefore, all the people in Lengning Palace's inner disciples are pure and clean.

The contemporary palace master Leng Qianqian was highly expected by all the seniors and elders of the masters, believing that Leng Qianqian has the ability to lead the sect and carry forward the sect! It is even possible to bring Leng Ning Palace to the level of a first-class sect!

Therefore, Leng Qianqian came here in person this time, with the purpose of making friends with some large aristocratic sects and laying the foundation for the future development of Leng Ninggong! At the same time, Leng Qianqian was also very curious about someone!

That is Ling Xiao. Logically speaking, a man in the secular world cannot attract the attention of people like Leng Qianqian who is more noble than a royal princess. However, Shangguan Yutong went back to the master's sect some time ago and once mentioned Ling Xiao to the palace master, telling him all kinds of magical things, especially the magical beauty pill from Ling Xiao's hands, which made Leng Qianqian, a young woman who had almost never left the mountain gate, very moved!

As long as it is a woman, there is nothing that doesn’t like beauty!

A pure and innocent woman like Leng Qianqian is not immune to the customs, so she thought that the transaction event would end and go to Pengzes City, an important southern city to visit Xia Ling Xiao, and then she would go out for a trip.

This time, I took out three elders, namely the Great Elder, the Second Elder and the Third Elder. Although the three elders unanimously opposed it, after discovering Shangguan Yutong's changes, the three elders finally agreed to Leng Qianqian's request.

At the same time, several elders were preparing to bring Shangguan Yutong, whose strength had increased, into the inner sect.

This was a good thing, but Shangguan Yutong was not willing. Once she stepped into the inner gate of the Lengning Palace, it means that she will spend her life alone from now on. If she devoted herself to pursuing the ultimate martial arts, it would be nothing, but Shangguan Yutong's heart...

But this kind of thing cannot be said. Don’t say that this matter is only held in her heart and has never told anyone. Even if both parties are in love, this worldly vision... just saliva can drown people.

Therefore, Shangguan Yutong had been trying hard to deny her emotions, and had been restrained, and was unwilling to admit it at all. It was not until his master Qiu Yueyao discovered this and talked to her to express her support. Shangguan Yutong's thoughts became active.

But neither she nor Qiu Yueyao could resist the reality that Shangguan Yutong entered the inner sect, so Qiu Yueyao gave her a shameful idea. If Shangguan Yutong could break the body of this perfect jade before becoming an inner sect disciple, I believe that the elders would not mention the topic of bringing Shangguan Yutong into the inner sect again, right?

Shangguan Yutong's thoughts were constantly moving, and she suddenly discovered Ling Xiao. She was not sure at that time because she felt that Ling Xiao shouldn't have appeared in such an occasion. However, after she went back, the more she thought that the person was Ling Xiao, she felt that she was Ling Xiao. So today she deliberately waited outside the building where people in the sects of aristocratic families were not allowed to eat. The moment she saw Ling Xiao, she was sure that this was Ling Xiao! Her behavior and walking completely betrayed him!

Don't doubt a woman's intuition, especially she cares a lot about the man's words.

So, Shangguan Yutong was surprised and happy, so she couldn't help but tell her master. Qiu Yueyao told Shangguan Yutong that if she liked him, she would just take Ling Xiao back with confidence, just to recommend it to the palace master. Isn't the palace master curious about this person?

Then I would like to hint a little bit that this man is Shangguan Yutong's sweetheart. I believe that those elders will not make things difficult for Yutong anymore, right? As for the relationship between Shangguan Yutong and Ling Xiao, let's take it slowly. Anyway, if you can escape this time and enter the inner sect, you will probably have no chance in the future.

Qiu Yueyao has been in Leng Ning Palace for many years, but she has been in the outer sect. Her master is also in charge of the outer sect, and she is always outside for many years. Therefore, Qiu Yueyao doesn't know much about the temperament of the elders of the inner sect.

The master and apprentice brought Ling Xiao and Song Mingyue to a small courtyard.

"You guys talk first, I'll talk to the palace master." Qiu Yueyao smiled gently and said, "If it weren't for Yu Tong's sharp eyes, I wouldn't recognize you. Your disguise technique is very clever!"

Ling Xiao smiled at this time, because there were no outsiders here, so he bowed to Qiu Yueyao: "Aunt Qiu, sorry, I didn't say hello to you because of some reasons."

"Hehe, I understand, you guys chat first." Qiu Yueyao smiled and turned around and left.

Shangguan Yutong opened the door and let the two of them in, then poured tea for Song Mingyue and Ling Xiao, his face turned slightly red, and he said apologetically: "Just calling you here like this will not have any impact on you, right?"

Song Mingyue curled her lips slightly, and then said, "Is there any impact? You have done it all."

"Mingyue, don't be unreasonable. This is my teacher and has always taken great care of me!" Ling Xiao frowned slightly and said.

Song Mingyue's eyes suddenly turned red, and she felt a little aggrieved. She thought that it was true, and she couldn't even say a word! That's it, you didn't disguise, and you were so beautiful, so it must be very eye-catching. She called us away in public. If we said we didn't know each other, who would believe it? Why are we disguised? Are we just afraid that others would recognize it?

However, Song Mingyue herself was unwilling to face the most important reason deep down: she felt that this beautiful woman was a great threat to her!

Shangguan Yutong suddenly became a little embarrassed after hearing Song Mingyue's words. When she said that she was smart, she was not much worse. Obviously, she felt that her behavior was a bit abrupt, but she was also angry and thought to herself, "What are you?" He is my student, what do I do, and I have to take care of you?"

But after hearing Ling Xiao's words, Shangguan Yutong showed a bright smile on her face, then looked at Song Mingyue with a smile on her face: "Who is this?"

Song Mingyue shut up very smartly because she felt that this woman had a special position in Ling Xiao's mind. At this time, she would only fall into her trap if she quarreled with her! Humph, if you want me to quarrel with you, you can dream! Thinking in her heart, Song Mingyue also showed a very mature smile on her face, and she didn't look at her, picked up the tea cup and gently blew the tea leaves on it, because she knew that Ling Xiao had the greatest benefit, and was very honest to the people she thought was close to, and she would not hide it from such things.

Sure enough, Ling Xiao said directly: "Teacher, this is my woman, Song Mingyue!"

Shangguan Yutong's pink face changed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "He's so beautiful! Congratulations, Ling Xiao, you guys have enough beauties around you." After saying that, she deliberately didn't look at Song Mingyue, thinking that you want to anger me? I've known that there are many women around this guy, but you are so proud, how can you be considered latecomer!

Ling Xiao didn't expect that Song Mingyue, who had always been as gentle as water, would have such a moment of confrontation with others, and he didn't expect that Shangguan Yutong, who had only faced his own hot temper, would be so inconsistent with Song Mingyue.

When encountering such a thing, I believe that a man will choose to turn a blind eye to him. However, Ling Xiao must not blame Shangguan Yutong. Not to mention that Shangguan Yutong is his teacher, just talk about her relationship with her sister Ling Su and her meticulous care for him, Ling Xiao would not be able to hurt her.

So, Ling Xiao still glanced at Song Mingyue slightly, hoping that she could restrain herself and not embarrass herself.

Song Mingyue was also very smart. Seeing Ling Xiao like this, she became happy, because the more she was rude to her, the more she proved that Ling Xiao subconsciously treated her as her own person! The more polite he was to Shangguan Yutong, the more it meant that he was alive!

Shangguan Yutong also understood this principle! He looked at Ling Xiao with some grievance, but he also knew that there were too many obstacles to overcome to combine with Ling Xiao. For a moment, Shangguan Yutong felt completely disappointed, and his eyes suddenly dimmed, thinking to himself: Actually, it is also good to join the inner sect!

Song Mingyue felt Shangguan Yutong's strangeness. Not only did she not have the joy of victory, but she also felt a sense of sorrow. She thought that she was really jealous? She was jealous of her acquaintance with Ling Xiao? Seeing her like this, she clearly had a lot to say to Ling Xiao, but she couldn't even say it because she was present.

Song Mingyue sighed in her heart and said, "Forget it, I'd better not be this evil person. If the husband has an idea about me, he will not say it with his temperament. After a long time, he will definitely not spoil me like he is now!"

Thinking of this, Song Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "When I just came in, I saw a very good flower in the yard. I'll go and see, Ling Xiao, don't forget to call me when I leave!" As he said that, he glanced at Shangguan Yutong, then turned around and went out.

Shangguan Yutong was slightly stunned, but she quickly calmed down her emotions. She looked at Ling Xiao with a hurricane and a little worried, and said, "You have made great progress, but you have offended too many people! Some time ago, I received a letter from your sister. You are a little too radical about the matter between the Zhe family! Ling Xiao, do you know, what family is that Zhe family?"

Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Teacher, I don't know what family the Zhe family is. I only know that they restrict my sister's freedom. Moreover, the old man in the Zhe family actually asked my sister to marry him! Moreover, it was his Zhe family's family who attacked us first! I have never regretted killing them!"

Shangguan Yutong listened to Ling Xiao's decisive words, and a turbulent heart arose in her heart. She asked in a dilemma: "If I were arrested, would you save me like that?"

Ling Xiao is no longer the young boy who was ignorant of the charm last year. He would not be able to hear the grammatical errors in Shangguan Yutong's words. However... this love is a bit too heavy. Ling Xiao is a bastard regardless of secular etiquette. The key problem is that he has always respected Shangguan Yutong very much. Suddenly, he showed this meaning in the other party's words, which made Ling Xiao unable to accept. Therefore, he could only pretend to be incomprehensible and said: "Of course, Teacher Shangguan treats me like a real sister. If the teacher is in danger, Ling Xiao... will naturally go through fire and water!"

"He is avoiding me!"

Shangguan Yutong sighed slightly in her heart, but a satisfied smile appeared on her face. She said, "Sister is kidding you, hilarious." As she said that, her face gradually became serious: "Ling Xiao, it's not that I'm scaring you. The Zhe family in Qicaicheng is nothing. At most, there is a sword emperor in charge, but the Zhe family among the hidden families is a first-class family! It's quite powerful! Moreover, I heard that the Zhe family has developed very rapidly in recent years, and even has a faint momentum to impact the super family. Do you think that if you offend such a family, will they give up?"

Ling Xiao smiled calmly and said, "Thank you for your reminder, but Ling Xiao... is not afraid! First of all, the elites of the Zhe family cannot come out to deal with me! As long as the person who comes is not an immortal like Jian Zun, I will not be afraid. Moreover, they must be prepared to lose their troops and generals!"

Shangguan Yutong shook her head slightly. Over the past year, she had heard a lot of rumors about Ling Xiao, and even the change of the imperial royal family did not affect the power of the Ling family at all. The prince ascended the throne and instead rewarded the Ling family even more.

I also heard that many people from hidden aristocratic sects went to Pengzes City but failed to get any benefits from Ling Xiao. Even the Southern King Li Wutong, who had already died in the battle for imperial power, never gained the upper hand when facing Ling Xiao!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yutong stared at Ling Xiao’s face as he was about 30 years old, and his eyes with a little vicissitudes of life, thinking to himself: Is this mask really you now?

"This time, the people from the Zhe family have also come here. Moreover, they have more than a dozen powerful sword emperors. Ling Xiao, if you meet them, you must be careful! Although you disguise and modify them, you must be more careful!"

Shangguan Yutong looked at Ling Xiao with a real face and said.

"Oh? Someone from the Zhe family came? Can the teacher know that there are anyone from the Gou family in Longgu and the Yu family in Yanzhao?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and said softly.

"Ah, you offended so many people!" Shangguan Yutong widened her eyes and looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, with a speechless expression on her face, lamenting: "Here, and there are many strong people coming, you... Alas, I was wrong, I really shouldn't have called you here, don't expose your identity!"
To be continued...
