F{h*F5.*LjChapter 240 Sudden Enlightenment_2
After the two had left, the young man waved his hand, and the doors of the grand hall closed on their own.
It was not until this moment that the young man lifted his head to look at the two, and spoke:
“Offering Priest Luo, Offering Priest Yang…”
“You have come now; could it be that something has happened with the Li Family?”
The two nodded, and then Offering Priest Luo spoke:
“Yes…”
“Young Master Yun Long…”
This youth was none other than Yun Long, the Young Master of the Yun Family.
Yun Long looked at the two and asked:
“What kind of incident?”
Offering Priest Luo responded:
“Today, Li Qingqing had friends visit the Li Family, three of them in total, one of whom is suspected to be a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
“A Nascent Soul True Monarch?” Yun Long’s eyebrows furrowed, and then he looked at Offering Priest Luo and asked:
“Are you certain?”
“Have you seen him demonstrate his true strength?”
Offering Priest Luo shook his head, hesitating to say:
“Not completely certain…”
“That man appears to have a Golden Core Mid Stage cultivation, but among their group, another Golden Core Late Stage youth called him master.”
“The Golden Core Late Stage youth revealed his cultivation aura. Judging from the aura he revealed, he has the strength of the eighth level of Golden Core.”
“Furthermore, the way he looks at the person suspected to be a Nascent Soul True Monarch doesn’t seem feigned.”
After hearing this, Yun Long’s brow immediately knitted tightly:
“A Nascent Soul Cultivator, and you didn’t test him yourselves?”
Offering Priest Yang clasped his hands and said to Yun Long:
“We indeed wanted to test him, but as we were about to inquire, Li Qingqing stopped us.”
“Li Qingqing said that the person had just advanced to Nascent Soul and had encountered some accidents, so he couldn’t act rashly. We didn’t test him in order to avoid exposure.”
At this time, Offering Priest Luo also spoke up, adding:
“Yes…”
“And besides, the Black Kite that used to follow Li Qingqing, it has returned with them this time.”
After hearing this, Yun Long continued, asking:
“You said that person is a friend of Li Qingqing, right? What is his name, do you know?”@@novelbin@@
“We do…” Offering Priest Luo nodded and promptly responded.
“Li Qingqing calls him Brother Lin Jing, so his name must be Lin Jing…”
“Lin Jing…”
“Why does that name seem somewhat familiar?”
Yun Long frowned and then began to ponder.
A moment later.
Yun Long suddenly realized, and then said:
“Lin Jing…”
“I remember now.”
“It’s him, that mere ant.”
“Young Master, you know this person?” Offering Priest Luo asked, puzzled.
Yun Long let out a cold laugh and said:
“Hmph!”
“Of course, I know him. He was nothing but a mere ant in the past.”
After finishing, Yun Long looked at the two with undisguised scorn in his eyes:
“You say that he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”
Offering Priests Luo and Yang nodded repeatedly.
Yun Long then scoffed disdainfully:
“Before the Howling Sky Wolf Clan launched their massive invasion, I had seen him. At that time, he was just a Qi Refinement ant.”
“It has only been a few decades since then; how could he possibly have become a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”
“That’s simply impossible.”
“The cultivation technique I’m currently practicing is fast enough, isn’t it? Still, I’m only at the Golden Core Late Stage.”
“Unless I find another female cultivator at the Golden Core Stage for dual cultivation, I won’t be able to advance to the Golden Core Peak.”
“What skills or virtues does he possess that allow him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly?”
After saying this, Yun Long looked up at the two and stated plainly:
“You two have been deceived by them.”
The two were extremely astonished upon hearing this.
“What?”
“The Qi Refinement Stage…”
“No wonder Li Qingqing said that he was not convenient to take action.”
“So they were bluffing all along.”
As they spoke, the two suddenly realized and then said:
“They managed to deceive even the two of us…”
“Doesn’t this mean that Li Qingqing has started to suspect us?”
However.
Yun Long showed no surprise but directly stated:
“Isn’t it normal for Li Qingqing to suspect you? After all, you have done so much for me; it’s normal to slip up sometimes.”
“And that Li Qingqing, she’s not simple either.”
“I don’t know where she has cultivated such abilities from. The Li Family was already falling apart, yet she managed to prop it up again.”
At this point, Yun Long suddenly grew contemplative and said:
“To tell the truth…”
“If she truly submits to me, I really want to take her as my concubine.”
“Setting aside her cultivation level, just her abilities alone would help me manage the Yun Family in the future.”
When Yun Long said this, his face rarely showed a hint of regret.
After a moment of reflection, Yun Long suddenly turned his head and looked at Luo and Yang, the two offering priests, and said:
“Right…”
“How goes the investigation I tasked you with, regarding Li Tangyu?”
“Didn’t Li Qingqing say that Li Tangyu is now a Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
“Is that true?”
The two shook their heads and then replied:
“We’ve looked into it as well, but found no evidence.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Long snorted coldly, and then spoke:
“Hmph!”
“It seems to be another bluff, a trivial show of force.”
“Li Qingqing really has perfected the art of deception.”
Then the two bowed and asked Yun Long:
“So, Young Master Yun, now that we have been exposed, what should we do next?”
Yun Long looked at them and said:
“Since they did not reveal you on the spot, act as if nothing has happened and return to the Li Family for now.”
“Wait a few days; after the ancestor returns from the Nanming Immortal Sect, I will make a trip to the Li Family.”
Offering Priest Luo and Offering Priest Yang looked at each other and then said:
“Does Young Master Yun intend to make a move against the Li Family?”
Yun Long nodded and replied:
“That’s right…”
“We should swallow the Li Family soon, and after we get the Inheritance Elixir Technique, we must send it to the Nanming Immortal Sect quickly…”
“The person at the Nanming Immortal Sect seems to be getting impatient.”
At this point, Yun Long sneered:
“And Li Qingqing…”
“If she knows what’s good for her, fine, but if not, she can’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“I just so happen to need a Golden Core female cultivator to help me break through to the Golden Core Peak.”
Luo, the Offering Priest, and Yang, the Offering Priest, exchanged a look, and then said in unison:
“Then let us congratulate Young Master Yun in advance.”
At this, Yun Long looked up at the two and then said:
“Whatever you two are thinking, don’t assume I am unaware.”
“Rest assured, the Yun Family will naturally keep the promise we made to you.”
“But after we obtain the Li Family’s properties, you surely haven’t forgotten what to do, have you?”
The two hurriedly nodded and said:
“Rest assured, Young Master Yun.”
“If we acquire the Li Family’s properties, we will certainly follow the lead of the Yun Family.”
Yun Long nodded, then said:
“Alright…”
“Go back for now. In a few days, once the ancestor returns from the Nanming Immortal Sect, we will commence our action.”
“Alright…”
…
Meanwhile, on Lin Jing’s side.
After more than half an hour had passed, Lin Jing finally woke up again.
As soon as Lin Jing regained consciousness, he immediately felt that his Divine Sense was somewhat different.
It seemed more solidified than before.
Moreover, awakening from that special state of enlightenment, Lin Jing seemed to have gained some new understanding of the world around him.
He felt that the world had become more real.
This feeling was as if he had been living in an illusion before, and the sudden insight.
Seemed to have brought him in touch with the real world.
This feeling was quite marvelous…
Just then, seeing Lin Jing awake, Li Qingqing and the other two hurried over.
“Lin Jing, how do you feel?” Li Qingqing asked with concern.
And at that moment, Lin Jue also asked:
“Brother…”
“Was that an epiphany just now?”
Ye Yun did not speak but also looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Lin Jing looked at the three and nodded, then said:
“I indeed had a different kind of enlightenment just now…”
After speaking, Lin Jing looked at Li Qingqing and said:
“After this matter with the Yun Family is settled, I plan to stay here for a while and not go back to Li Yan Island.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qingqing’s eyes suddenly lit up:
“Lin Jing…”
“Really?”
Lin Jing nodded.
“That’s great news.” Li Qingqing was overjoyed.
Lin Jing then looked at the small courtyard again.
Having reached that special state of enlightenment, Lin Jing had a sudden stroke of inspiration, sensing that his opportunity to reach Divinity Transformation might well lie within the Nanming Domain…
What do you think?
