"It's just a coincidence."

Yunmengdie responded lightly and floated directly past Yuanling Linghuang.

Emperor Yuanling Ling watched her walk into the room and sighed imperceptibly.

"Ling'er, where have you been?" He turned to look at Yu Ling.

"Basically, I've been to everything I should go," Yu Ling said.

"No wonder it's not yet dawn today. My Yaohua Palace has been surrounded by elders. What does Meng'er mean?" Emperor Yuan Lingling said.

"She just took me around to get familiar with the environment of Shangyuan Palace." Yu Ling said calmly.

"Those elders don't think so."

Emperor Yuanling Ling took a deep look at him: "They jointly protest against Meng'er's arrogance, domineering behavior, blatant contempt for the clan's rules, and disrupting the normal order. They must be severely punished. This trend must not last forever."

"What does your Majesty mean?"

Yu Ling silently counted. Starting from Elder Chai Po of Wanjuan Pavilion, Yun Mengdie also took him to beat him yesterday... Well, there were probably seven or eight elders in the face, but they were all in the Li Dao realm.

That's all, and none of them are members of the royal family.

"I learned about what happened, and they all said that it was Meng'er who took the initiative to provoke them and put pressure on them. If the conflict in Wanjuan Pavilion is an example, Meng'er really shouldn't have set foot there now." Yuan Lingling

The emperor said calmly.

Yu Ling didn't say anything, he knew that Emperor Yuanling Ling must have something more to say.

"But there is nothing wrong with you going in. Elder Chai Po even blocked you, which is also against the rules."

Emperor Yuanling Ling raised his head and glanced at the closed door of the black attic, and said calmly: "Both sides are to blame, so for the sake of fairness, each should be punished. Later, the elders of each palace will come here again to set restrictions and

The Dao Formation is sealed, and Meng'er is not allowed to take a single step out for several years, no one is allowed to visit her, and she cannot communicate with the outside world in any form until she is willing to repent."

Yu Ling could not see any look of intolerance on his face, as if the person who was about to be imprisoned in the pavilion was not his daughter, but an unrelated stranger.

Emperor Yuanling Ling seemed to be aware of his thoughts and suddenly asked: "Do you think I am too cruel to Meng'er?"

Without waiting for Yu Ling to answer, he thought to himself: "Actually, I am doing this to protect her. Over the years, there has never been a second person in the royal family who has understood the original principles. If it weren't for those old things that are too common,

Criticism, Meng'er is the most suitable candidate to inherit the position of Spiritual Emperor."

"When she reaches the Li Dao realm, she no longer relies much on the spiritual objects that assist her practice. It would not be a bad thing to let her practice peacefully here."

Emperor Yuanling Ling continued: "As for Elder Chai and other elders who have made mistakes, I have reassigned their positions, and before taking office, they will go to Taigu Cave to face the wall and reflect for a year."

Yu Ling vaguely guessed the intention of his series of punishments.

First of all, each of them played fifty big boards. On the one hand, they must maintain the inviolable majesty of the royal family. On the other hand, they must not chill the hearts of the old ministers or break the rules.

Secondly, putting Yunmengdie in an isolated situation is not only to protect her, but more probably to curb the power she develops secretly.

In the end, Elder Chai and others were rearranged, which was equivalent to disrupting their original circle of contacts, and they were thrown into confinement for a year, which made it impossible for them to operate the selection of spirit girls behind the scenes.

Of course, Yu Ling heard Xue Qingling mention it before. Although Taigu Cave is far away from Shangyuan Palace, it is still considered a first-class spiritual practice holy land in Tianyuan Star, which is conducive to enlightenment of the Tao. So this is not so much a punishment, but a disguised form.

Reward to appease Chai Po and others and prevent them from having an attack.

This method is not unscrupulous, but Yu Ling can also see from it that Emperor Yuanling Ling is actually very tangled in his heart.

He was still hesitant between his daughter and his old minister, not knowing which direction to take. At the same time, he didn't know how to handle the balance of interests between the entire Yuanling clan and the royal family.

As an emperor of a clan, he is most afraid of being indecisive. Sometimes a wrong decision is much better than no decision at all.

But Yuling can also understand the dilemma of Yuanling Linghuang, because the two roads in front of him are shrouded in fog, and he doesn't know whether the end of the road leads to the light or to the abyss.

Once he makes the wrong choice, the Yuanling Clan will surely be doomed in the face of the eyeing Dao Ling Clan.

"Of course, although this matter has been calmed down for the time being, many elders are quite hostile to you, and it is not an option in the long run. You must take the initiative to ease the relationship with them in the future, and must not get into a stalemate. Our clan's survival is at risk.

At this time, no more internal losses can be tolerated." Yuanling Linghuang said again.

"I'll try my best." Yu Ling nodded, not wanting to say anything more.

"There is one more thing I need to inform you."

Emperor Yuanlingling considered his words: "On the one hand, as a member of the royal family, you need to tell the world when you return to the family, otherwise it will not be consistent with your status. On the other hand, because of what happened to your sister back then... the elders of the family also have a lot of respect for you.

Wei Ci, of course I know that you do not have Xuanling clan blood, but they still need a proof."

"So?" Yu Ling's face had no extra expression.

"Tomorrow at midnight, you will follow me to the Lingyuan Blood Pond and obtain the recognition of our clan's Taoist weapon Wuji Dengxian Sword. All rumors will be disproven. This will also be of great benefit to your practice. After all, Ling'er, you have missed it after all.

The initial bloodline awakening, maybe we can take this opportunity to make up for the shortcomings." Yuan Lingling Huang said.

"Okay." Yu Ling said simply.

He knew very well that although Emperor Yuanling Ling trusted him on the surface, only when Yuling passed this test could Emperor Yuanling Ling truly feel relieved.

"Do I need to prepare anything?" Yu Ling asked again.

Emperor Yuanlingling saw that he readily agreed, and his expression softened slightly: "No, this ceremony does not test your cultivation, you just need to go through the motions."

He looked at the rising sun and said calmly: "You make your own arrangements today. If you have any questions or need help, just come to Yaohua Hall and see me."

After saying that, he turned around and left, disappearing from Yu Ling's eyes after a few steps.

Yu Ling stood alone in front of the attic for a long time. It was not until a group of elders appeared from a distance in the form of a rainbow that he walked out of the courtyard silently.

The two sides walked in opposite directions a few meters apart. One of the elders glanced at Yu Ling twice and warned coldly: "Don't come to this place again in the future, otherwise you will be injured by the restriction and Tao formation, and we will have to bear the responsibility."

Guilty."

Yu Ling turned a deaf ear. He had no intention of getting involved with them now because it wasn't worth it.

Where are we going? It seems that for such a large Yuanling clan, there is not much place they want to go.

It's better to go see an old friend.

Yu Ling stepped into the void node and instantly appeared in front of an elegant and luxurious courtyard.

He looked around, looked for a guard at random and asked, "Do you know where Nian Yubai and his sister live?"

The guard didn't know who he was, but he vaguely felt that Yu Ling's cultivation was unfathomable, so he respectfully replied: "You enter from this road, go straight east, turn left and then right, and you will be there in about fifty miles.

"

"OK, thanks."

After getting a general impression, Yu Ling quickly passed through this luxury area, and finally stopped in front of a golden mansion.

Probably here?

Yu Ling has already sensed two familiar auras, but the Yuanling Clan does not allow the use of soul power to detect casually to prevent infringement of other people's privacy, so Yu Ling does not know what Nian Yubai and his sister are doing now.

He walked to the steps and said to the doorman: "Please tell your master that Yu Ling is visiting."

The doorman was stunned for a moment, and then said enthusiastically: "Oh, His Highness Yu Bai said that if you come to see him, just go in directly."

"Where is he now?" Yu Ling asked.

"It should be in the backyard. How about I take you to His Highness Yubai?" the doorman said.

"Okay." Yu Ling followed the doorman, watching the young man running happily along the way. Yu Ling didn't even have time to look at the surrounding scenery, and passed through the many pavilions.

"Your Highness Yu Bai? Are you there?" the doorman shouted loudly when he came to the backyard.

"Here, what's going on?" A clear voice came from inside the house, with a hint of panic.

"Your Highness Yuling is here, is it convenient for you to come out now?" the doorman asked.

"Ah? What? Who is here?!" The voice in the room became even more panicked.

"What kind of monster is this guy doing?" Yu Ling walked to the door in confusion, knocked on the door and said, "Nian Yubai, it's only been a few years, and you don't remember me?"

"No, no! Aling, wait a moment, I'm dealing with a very important matter now!" Nian Yubai said hurriedly.

"What's so shameful? I'll count to three, two, one, and open the door," Yu Ling said.

"No!" Nian Yubai almost screamed, "Save some face for brother..."

With a "clang" sound, Yu Ling broke in through the door simply and rudely, and was stunned when she saw the scene inside.
