Chapter 838
Yu Ling glanced at Luo Huizhi and saw her shaking her head, frowning and looking cold.
It seems that the young lady from the Luo family outside the door, who is of unknown rank, must have had issues with Luo Huizhi.
Yu Ling didn't get up to open the door, but just sat silently at the table.
Luo Huizhi lazily said: "Third sister, I am very touched by your concern for eldest sister, but it is so late, you should go to bed early. Don't joke with eldest sister. I happen to be a little unwell these days.
If you are not feeling well, how can you be so relaxed and relaxed?"
The third young lady of the Luo family, Luo Baichang, stood outside the door and laughed softly: "That's really a pity. I heard from several maids in the inner courtyard that the entourage that the eldest sister just picked is quite handsome. The younger sister can't help but be a little curious. I didn't want to disturb her.
My eldest sister, I just accidentally noticed that the lights here were on, so I came over to say hello."
Luo Huizhi didn't bother to expose her clumsy lie, and just said leisurely: "If Third Sister is interested, how about I give him to you tomorrow morning?"
Yu Ling couldn't help but frown, and found Luo Huizhi looking at him narrowly, and winking teasingly.
Luo Baichang laughed dryly and said: "Sister, you can't joke like this. It's enough for me to have a few considerate maids to serve you."
"Since Third Sister said this, just assume that he is not convinced. But it's getting late. Let's talk slowly tomorrow. I will continue to talk with my entourage at night." Luo Huizhi said.
Gentle, but there is sarcasm hidden deep in the eyes.
Luo Baichang said a few more words of greetings, then reluctantly said goodbye and left.
When she was far away, Luo Huizhi just flicked his finger and extinguished the light white light above his head.
In the dark silence, her faint sigh sounded like the whisper of a ghost: "This silly third sister is always willing to be used as a weapon. I feel a little pity for her."
Yu Ling remained silent. Even if he didn't want to get involved in the Luo family's family affairs, he had to be stirred into the muddy water.
Who knows that he has now been labeled as the eldest lady of the Luo family, and Luo Huizhi seems to be very confident that he will not betray her and join the family.
Maybe it's because no one from the Luo family of this generation can compare with her, whether it's cultivation talent or intelligence.
But Luo Huizhi's various actions also revealed a sense of caution, indicating that there was still a force in the entire Luo family that she was afraid of.
Nothing happened all night.
The next morning, Luo Huizhi woke up from her trance. She glanced at Yu Ling and walked out of the room silently.
After a while, another thin maid brought breakfast. She looked shy and timid throughout the process, and did not even look at Yu Ling.
The so-called breakfast was actually very light, just a bowl of porridge with a few steamed buns, and at most two plates of side dishes. After Yu Ling finished the meal carelessly, the little maid came in again with her head lowered to clean up the dishes.
"Are you the eldest lady's maid?" Yu Ling suddenly asked.
The little girl seemed to be frightened. She suddenly raised her head and glanced at him, then lowered her head again faster and said timidly: "Yes..."
"What's your name?"
"Xiao, the name given by the lady is Ningxiang." The little maid quickly speeded up her cleaning actions, as if she was unwilling to talk to Yu Ling anymore.
Watching her leave in a hurry with the food basket, bowls and chopsticks, Yu Ling was still a little confused.
Doesn't he look vicious? He doesn't even dare to say a few words to a little girl?
It seems that if you want to understand the situation, you still have to find a breakthrough from others.
As soon as Yu Ling stepped out of the door, she saw a strange middle-aged man standing outside, who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
When the man saw Yu Ling, he just nodded and said, "My name is Luo Banqian. According to the eldest lady's instructions, I will be responsible for your safety from now on. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
Yu Ling casually mentioned Ning Xiang's strange behavior just now, and Luo Banqian looked at him meaningfully and said, "Because she didn't dare."
"Don't you dare?"
"Firstly, because you are the eldest lady, she does not dare to be too close to you. A lesson learned from the past is that one of the eldest lady's followers and the maid had been in love for a long time, and then the next day, both of them 'disappeared'.
"
When Luo Banqian talked about such shocking things, his tone was still calm: "The second reason is that this girl Ningxiang is a bit superstitious. In fact, many people are like this. The eldest lady has received hundreds of followers over the years, but either
Either they were killed or they disappeared inexplicably, and now there are eight people left including you. Ningxiang is timid and firmly believes that this matter is very evil, for fear that it will be contaminated by her."
Yu Ling pondered without speaking.
Luo Banqian changed the subject and said: "But you are also an insider, and you should know that this has nothing to do with supernatural events."
Yu Ling nodded, her heart brightening.
The followers who were killed were either assassinated by Luo Huizhi's enemies, or they lost their hands during the execution of their missions. As for the other missing ones, most of them turned out to be dark, and were working for Luo Huizhi somewhere unknown.
No one would suspect a dead person or a person who has been missing for a long time, so Luo Huizhi's power hidden in the dark must be very terrifying.
But if Luo Banqian knew this, he was at least Luo Huizhi's confidant.
"Any more questions?" Luo Banqian asked.
"You just said there are seven followers besides me. Where do they live?"
"It's also in the courtyard nearby, but I advise you not to go find them privately, otherwise the lady will be very unhappy."
"Then what task will she give me tonight?" Yu Ling asked.
"You will know when the time comes, and it is useless to say more now."
"What is your position in the Luo family?" Yu Ling quickly changed the question.
"The leader of the young lady's attendants and the third steward of the inner courtyard." Luo Banqian said calmly.
In fact, Yu Ling wanted to know Luo Banqian's secret identity, but most of the time he asked this question, he still had no answer.
"I also hope to know more about the situation of the Luo family, such as the head of the Luo family and his children," Yu Ling said.
Luo Banqian raised his eyes and glanced at him, and sneered: "It seems that you have adapted well. You were so active when you first came in."
"Then let me tell you that the Luo family is the dominant family in Luotian Beidou. Looking at the entire northern border, they are not much worse than the first-class big families."
"In comparison, the sects in the East are dominant, while the families and sects in the North are interpenetrated and blended with each other. For example, our Luo family and Huayun Valley have a very close connection. The eldest lady is also a member of the Huayun Valley.
One of Yungu’s Ziyu inner sect disciples, only slightly inferior to his direct disciple.”
"Purple jade?"
"Well, the internal hierarchy of Huayun Valley is extremely strict. I won't go into details. As far as the inner disciples are concerned, there are seven levels of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple from bottom to top. If the eldest lady goes
In Huayun Valley, ninety-nine percent of the disciples are eager to curry favor, including many outer sect elders."
Luo Banqian paused and then said: "But in exchange, our Luo family will also take care of Huayun Valley's business to a large extent. Except for the core unique secret method, both of us can learn from it."
"Getting back to the subject, the current head of the family is named Luo Shangchang. It can be said that he is the ruler at the top of Luo Tian Beidou. He has a total of four sons and three daughters. Logically speaking, the eldest lady is undoubtedly the most outstanding figure among them.
…”
As soon as she heard this, Yu Ling knew that there was a "but" behind it.
Sure enough, Luo Banqian's expression turned cold and he changed his message: "But according to the Luo family's rules, the position of the head of the family is passed down from male to female, because there is a secret method that is so strong that only men can practice it. As a result, the eldest lady's generation
, the four young masters are really not up to par, and only the second young master is a little more willing to endure hardship, but he has been stumbling in practicing the secret method, and he has not yet been able to achieve success."
Luo Banqian didn't need to say any more, Yu Ling basically understood.
He asked tentatively: "The third lady...has a good relationship with the second young master?"
Luo Banqian looked at him with some surprise: "That's natural. The head of the family has three wives. The first lady passed away after giving birth to the young lady. The second lady gave birth to twins, the second young master and the third young lady."
"But the most troublesome part is not the second young master, but the son of the second brother of the family master, who is also the young lady's cousin."
"His name is Luo Ronggai. He is now twenty-three, one year younger than the young lady, and he has the strength to break through the Mysterious Realm. The most important thing is that he is only one step away from mastering the secret technique." (Unfinished)
