Chapter 23 Wutan Town
A few hours ago, the two maids of Ling Mansion, Chunlan and Qiuyue were reporting some of Ling Xiao’s things these days with the master Ling Tianxiao and his wife.
Mrs. Ling sometimes smiled and was sometimes surprised. When she heard Ling Xiao decides to duel with Ulanto, who is a ninth-level sword servant, Mrs. Ling's face suddenly lost its blood and her eyes were full of worry.
Chunlan quickly smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, the young master has defeated the guy who has no aristocratic demeanor!" Speaking of the young master's victory, Chunlan and Qiuyue both looked proud.
Chunlan tells the story of Ling Xiao and Ulanto's duel.
When Ling Xiao had two second-level enchanted swords in his hand, General Ling Tianxiao was a little moved, thinking that this little brat would be so lucky? There were two girls who gave him a sword! But the girl from the Xie family was blind!
After Chunlan and Qiuyue finished talking about everything, General Ling Tianxiao and Mrs. Ling were both in silence. Unexpectedly, their son could defeat a sword servant who was above him in a fourth level! What was even more surprising was that the skills issued by the fifth-level sword servant could avoid the third-level enchanted sword... This seemed a bit incredible!
Even if the third-level enchanted sword was held in the hands of the ninth-level sword servant, it was unimaginable how Ling Xiao avoided it?
"Has I opened my slap?" General Ling Tianxiao murmured to himself.
"Go to you!" Mrs. Ling glanced at her husband and thought to herself that she hadn't settled the score with you yet, so you dare to be good at it? Chunlan and Qiuyue lowered their heads, looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"Then what? Wasn't Xiao'er injured?" Mrs. Ling didn't care what sword skills her son mastered. She just wanted to know where her son is now, okay. When she heard Ling Xiao being injured by a mysterious old man named Haitian, which interfered with the normal duel, Mrs. Ling immediately looked at Ling Tianxiao anxiously and angrily: "Husband, can anyone bully our Ling family now?"
Ling Tianxiao was also a little surprised when he heard the name Haitian and showed a look of memories. However, what he cared more was the words that Chunlan and Qiuyue had just said.
The son said to Haitian: "Don't die too quickly!"
What does this mean? It means that the son has strong confidence in himself! For a once decadent semi-waste, what else is more happy than being able to make progress again?
I heard Chunlan and Qiuyue say that Ling Xiao will exercise for a long time every morning when he wakes up every morning, and his physical condition is much better than before. Ling Tianxiao was very relieved.
"The young master is now recuperating from Teacher Shangguan's injuries. Mrs. Shangguan's concern for the young master seems..." Chunlan said, her eyes rolling, and she did not continue.
Mrs. Ling understood. She knew that Shangguan Yutong had a good relationship with her daughter Ling Su, but she used the precious enchantment sword to Ling Xiao. When she was in danger, she rushed forward to protect her. She was injured and took her to recuperate. Although she was Ling Xiao’s teacher and Ling Su’s sister, this care can also show that she favored Ling Xiao.
Mrs. Ling didn't know that the thin willow sword had been given to Ling Xiao at this moment, otherwise she would have even more confirmed that there was a problem between her son and Teacher Shangguan.
Suddenly someone reported outside that someone sent a letter saying that the Third Young Master asked him to send it.
"Xiao'er asked me to send it?" Mrs. Ling stood up and took the letter, opened it and looked at it for a few times. Xiumei, who was like a crescent moon, frowned slightly, stroked her forehead and sat down slowly, and said repeatedly: "Hu Nao, Xiao'er, this... isn't this Wu Nao!"
Seeing her husband looking at her in confusion, Mrs. Ling handed the letter to Ling Tianxiao with helplessness. Ling Tianxiao looked at it but laughed and praised: "Okay, okay! This is my Ling Tianxiao's son! It's so fucking good! Look, who dares to say that my Ling family is three tigers and one dog? From then on, my Ling family will add another tiger!"
It turned out that Ling Xiao sent someone to send this letter clearly, and wrote about the grudge between him and Ulanto, analyzed Ulanto's motives, and then signaled that Ling Tianxiao could take the opportunity to make a fuss at the Ulan family and extort some benefits. Ling Xiao also directly said that the things sold in the Ulan family's weapons store were good.
In fact, Ling Xiao accidentally visited the weapons store of the Ulan family while preparing for adventure supplies, and then saw those high-quality iron chain mails. He knew that this kind of thing was an excellent armor for the soldiers on the border. However, the imperial military expenditure was limited, and this armor with a price of more than 100 gold coins was bought by the children of the little nobles to show off.
Ling Xiao said that the Ulan family would definitely think they were in a silence this time, and because of the scandal that he brought to the family, it would be faded because Ling Tianxiao came to the Ulan family. However, Ling Xiao did not expect that he was so barbaric, and he directly led people to destroy the century-old facade of the Ulan family.
Finally, Ling Xiaoxin said that he went out this time to find herbs to untie the heavenly meridians, so that his parents would not worry. He would definitely come back and become stronger. So Ling Xiao begs his father in the letter that even if he meets the old thief Haitian, he should not kill him, leave him for himself and take revenge!
This is what Ling Tianxiao is most pleased with. His son is really mature and grown up! He has such an IQ, even if he cannot untie the heavenly meridian, so what? Isn’t the old Prime Minister Constant the Heavenly meridian? Who dares to say something bad about him?
A man, even if he is weak, cannot lose the heart of a strong man!
So Ling Tianxiao, who was excited about his son's growth, took people to empty a weapon store in the Ulan family. The things he took were far more than two hundred sets of good iron chain mail, and some top-grade weapons such as steel swords. Of course, compared with the iron chain mail, those are nothing. Ling Tianxiao definitely did not admit that he was going to grab it because he paid, one set of silver coins and two hundred sets, and he paid a total of two gold coins!
This is not a small number. Two gold coins are enough for a comfortable life for a civilian family for one or two months!
...
After Ling Xiao returned the Chiyan Sword to Isha early, he said goodbye and left. Isha didn't think Ling Xiao would leave the school at this time. After all, he still had injuries but was not healed. He was thinking that he would make some nutritious food for Brother Ling Xiao tomorrow.
The next morning, Ling Xiao got up early and went out. At the same time, he found a free friend in a small shop at the cost of a silver coin, and asked him to send him to the General's Mansion two hours later, and then went straight to the inn that he had agreed with Wang Chao.
Ling Xiao was dressed in a gorgeous dress and handsome appearance. He was holding the thin willow sword that looked like a wooden stick in his hand, which was a bit cheaper. At this moment, walking in this slum area attracted the curious eyes of many people.
Ling Xiao didn't care, so he found the inn directly. When he entered, he found that except for himself, the others had arrived. Ling Xiao smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I'm late."
"Haha, it's not too late, it's not too late!" Wang Chao stood up with a smile, walked to Ling Xiao's side, and suddenly exclaimed. Then he frowned and said, "Brother Ling, are you injured?" He grabbed Ling Xiao's arm and said, "Who hurts you?" There was a slight cold and fierce smell in his words, and his expression was extremely angry.
Ling Xiao felt warm and said, "Brother Wang, it's okay, a little injury is almost healed. I will solve it myself in the future!"
Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, then let go of Ling Xiao, patted him on the shoulder a few times, and laughed and said, "Good brother, have ambition! Brother, I believe in you!"
Anya's eyes were still a little hot when she looked at Ling Xiao. She was so interested in Ling Xiao's ability to heal her wounds with golden needles.
Gaia still had a smile on her face and grinned. Such a person probably had never had any worries. The handsome Tang Ming stared at the thin Liu Jian in Ling Xiao's hand and looked at it for a few more times. His face twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything.
Wu Liang looked at Ling Xiao with a faint disdain. Ling Xiao's performance that day did shock him, but Wu Liang still believed that strength can determine everything. Just like Wang Chao, he has recovered his strength and he is the boss!
Wang Chao glanced at everyone, put everyone's expressions into his eyes, and then said in a deep voice: "This mission is no different from the past. We only have one purpose, that is, unity! Don't give up any teammate! Only in this way can we overcome all difficulties. Every time we leave, we will say that today, there are new brothers. I know you may think that Brother Ling is not strong and will drag us down, but I will tell you here, Brother Ling, I will take care of you personally! You three, just protect Anya!"
Anya was stunned and looked at Ling Xiao with some envy. With a magic swordsman protection, the danger would be greatly reduced. It was really good luck!
"Okay, since everyone has no objection, let's set off now!" Wang Chao said and took everyone out of the inn.
There were six of them in total, and they hired a large carriage, running fast on the flat and straight official road, and soon left the majestic imperial capital far behind.
In the evening, I came to Wutan Town, 300 miles away from the imperial capital, a large town with a population of more than 100,000.
