Chapter 579: 241 Yun Family's Conspiracy Revealed_2
F{h*F5.* LjChapter 241 Yun Family’s Conspiracy Revealed_2
The black-robed cultivator glanced at him and spoke softly,
“You think that’s just any group? That’s the Howling Sky Wolf Clan…”
“They say that the Golden Core female cultivator is the most beloved junior of Elder Wang. Seeing the tragic state of his junior, he nearly succumbed to madness on the spot. Fortunately, the other Elders of the Qingyuan Sword Sect were there to help him stabilize.
Otherwise, he would have likely gone mad right there, beyond all hope of recovery.”
After hearing this, the yellow-robed cultivator couldn’t help but sigh,
“Anyone who went through that would probably not be able to bear it.”
“Especially when it’s the most beloved junior. I guess this calamity might have damaged his cultivation as well.”
The black-robed cultivator nodded and said,
“It is said that although Elder Wang had help and didn’t completely succumb to madness, his mental state has nonetheless fallen. Advancing to Nascent Soul is now hopeless, and he will probably remain at the Golden Core Peak.”
The yellow-robed cultivator shook his head and said,
“Alas, what a pity…”
“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before the Qingyuan Sword Sect gained another Nascent Soul True Monarch.”
The black-robed cultivator seemed unconcerned,
“So what if he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch? It’s of no concern to us anyway.”
“I’m just expressing my sentiments…” the yellow-robed cultivator began to say.
In the middle of speaking, the yellow-robed cultivator suddenly changed the subject and then looked at the black-robed cultivator,
“By the way…”
“Shouldn’t this information be confidential? Where did you get it from? Also, I’ve noticed that your information has been increasingly accurate lately.”
The black-robed cultivator looked at the yellow-robed cultivator, chuckled, and said,
“Heavenly Secrets Association, have you ever heard of it?”@@novelbin@@
“Of course…” The yellow-robed cultivator nodded upon hearing this.
“Could it be that you bought this information from the Heavenly Secrets Association?”
“Information from the Heavenly Secrets Association doesn’t come cheap.”
The black-robed cultivator chuckled and then proceeded to say,
“I can’t afford information from the Heavenly Secrets Association.”
“I’ve just been helping the Heavenly Secrets Association with some work, gathering information for them or verifying the authenticity of certain information.”
“By working for the Heavenly Secrets Association, naturally, I can get my hands on some information from inside the association, which, relatively speaking, isn’t of very high value.”
Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed cultivator was very surprised,
“So that’s how it is…”
“I just wonder if there’s a chance for me to join the Heavenly Secrets Association?”
The black-robed cultivator said,
“Of course, there’s no problem. Otherwise, why do you think I’m telling you all this?”
“The Heavenly Secrets Association has just arrived in the Nanming Domain not long ago and is currently expanding. They are in need of people like us to gather information for them.”
“As long as you help gather information, you can get some rewards from the Heavenly Secrets Association, such as Spirit Stones, Magical Treasures, Elixir Medicines, Cultivation Techniques, among other cultivation resources.”
“All we have to do is join the Heavenly Secrets Association and become one of their peripheral members.”
After hearing this, the yellow-robed cultivator asked,
“Do I have to join the Heavenly Secrets Association to get rewards?”
“If I have some very important information, can I choose not to join the Heavenly Secrets Association and just sell the information to them?”
The black-robed cultivator said,
“Of course, you can…”
“If you have any special information, you can also seek out the Heavenly Secrets Association for a transaction. As long as the association confirms the accuracy of the information, they will certainly reward you.”
“Now I understand…” the yellow-robed cultivator said.
Then, the yellow-robed cultivator gave a fist salute and said,
“Brother Zhao…”
“Please take care of the matter of joining the Heavenly Secrets Association for me.”
The black-robed cultivator replied,
“Don’t worry, I’ve got this handled…”
Lin Jing stopped paying attention to the rest of their conversation and began to ponder deeply…
At this moment, Lin Jue noticed that Lin Jing seemed distracted and called out to him,
“Bro…”
“Are you alright?”
Lin Jing came back to his senses and then said,
“I’m fine…”
After speaking, Lin Jing turned to ask Li Qingqing,
“Qingqing…”
“Earlier, when your grandfather took us to the Demon Race Secret Realm, wasn’t there an Elder Wang from the Qingyuan Sword Sect? I remember he’s your grandfather’s good friend, right?”
Li Qingqing nodded and said,
“Yes…”
“Elder Wang is indeed my grandfather’s good friend.”
“How is he doing now?” Lin Jing continued to ask.
Li Qingqing replied,
“Elder Wang has been assigned to another Immortal City, he’s probably busy. I’ve been tied up with family affairs lately and haven’t had a chance to visit him. It’s been quite some time.”
Lin Jing nodded and then briefly recounted the information he had just overheard, sharing it with Li Qingqing.
After listening, Li Qingqing fell silent for a while then spoke,
“Qingyuan Sword Sect elder with the surname Wang, there are three, and among them, two have descendants.”
“I also don’t know if it’s him…”
“Once the matter with the Yun Family is settled, I’ll go see him…”
Next, the food was served, and the group began to eat.
However, during the meal, Li Qingqing seemed somewhat distracted.
Lin Jing naturally understood what Li Qingqing was worried about.
The meal ended quickly.
After eating, they returned to the Li Family.
…
Since returning from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, for the following several days, Lin Jing and the others did not go out.
Offering Priest Luo and Offering Priest Yang, as usual, attended to their own matters.
However.
During those few days, they tried to make contact with Lin Jing several times, attempting to probe Lin Jing’s cultivation.
Nevertheless, each time they were blocked by Li Qingqing.
Lin Jue once asked Li Qingqing why not let Lin Jing display his cultivation, to intimidate the two priests and deter them from any rash actions.
Li Qingqing then explained to Lin Jue.
If they were truly loyal to the Li Family, they would naturally know what they should do, but if the two harbored ulterior motives, even if they got through this difficulty, they would still betray the Li Family the next time.
It’s better to take this opportunity to clear them out of the Li Family once and for all.
And so, several more days passed.
Then one day, Elder Jin found Li Qingqing.
And informed her that Li Qingqing’s third uncle, together with Offering Priests Luo and Yang, had gone to the Yun Family.
Upon receiving this news, they all knew that they were probably preparing to take action.
As expected.
Before long, Offering Priest Luo hurried back.
After returning, Offering Priest Luo directly went to see Li Qingqing.
Then, not much later, Li Qingqing sent someone to call for Lin Jing to discuss matters in the great hall.
When Lin Jing arrived, Li Qingqing and Offering Priest Luo were already there.
Elder Jin was also standing by the side.
As soon as Lin Jing stepped into the council hall, Offering Priest Luo took the initiative to speak:
“Senior Lin…”
“Qingqing’s third uncle is in trouble?”
Lin Jing, puzzled, asked:
“What happened?”
At that moment, Li Qingqing also spoke:
“Uncle Luo, please tell Lin Jing about it…”
Offering Priest Luo nodded and then began to recount to Lin Jing.
In Offering Priest Luo’s account, he and Li Qingqing’s uncle had gone out, initially planning to handle some matters at the Li Family’s Elixir Pavilion.
However, unexpectedly, Li Qingqing’s uncle encountered a junior from the Yun Family on the way.
Because the junior was disrespectful toward Li Qingqing, her uncle, unable to stand by, taught him a lesson.
But unexpectedly, Yun Long was also nearby.
Seeing his family’s junior being bullied, Yun Long naturally could not stand by and immediately captured Li Qingqing’s third uncle.
He asked Offering Priest Luo to relay a message: if Li Qingqing wanted to save her third uncle, she needed to personally go to the Yun Family and apologize.
Otherwise, the Yun Family would take matters into their own hands and deal with Li Qingqing’s third uncle themselves.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing knew that it was a scheme of the Yun Family.
Even though it was the Yun Family’s scheme, Li Qingqing could not ignore it.
After all.
No matter what, that was Li Qingqing’s third uncle.
Even though she suspected collusion between him and the Yun Family, without evidence, in the eyes of others, he was still Li Qingqing’s third uncle.
Therefore, for the Li Family, it’s likely that Li Qingqing had to go this time.
Otherwise, if Li Qingqing dared not go to the Yun Family and let her third uncle be dealt with by others,
it would dishearten many people.
The Li Family could become disunited because of this, and possibly even fall apart.
Li Qingqing had always held the Li Family in high esteem and naturally would not allow this to happen.
After Offering Priest Luo finished speaking, he then directly said:
“Senior Lin…”
“Going to the Yun Family rashly might not be safe.”
“How about you accompany the family head, Senior Lin, on a trip to the Yun Family?
“With the senior present, I believe the Yun Family will certainly not make things difficult for Family Head Qingqing.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded and said:
“No problem!”
Lin Jing’s forthright response surprised Offering Priest Luo.
But in a moment, he recovered.
Offering Priest Luo then smiled and said:
“That’s wonderful, we’ll be troubling Senior Lin then…”
What do you think?
