"I told them that you are from my Ling family in Jiangning City!"
Ling Zhong pursed his lips with a smile, looked at Ling Tian with a deep gaze and spoke slowly.
"Did they believe it?"
Ling Tian was slightly surprised.
"They naturally believe what I, the head of the family, say."
Ling Zhong smiled casually, "Of course, the main reason is that Master Ling Tian has already stated in front of the people of the Ling family's holy clan that he is a member of the Ling family in Jiangning City. From my place, they only get confirmation.
.”
"Why are you doing this?"
Ling Tian suddenly felt that he could not understand the head of the Ling family in front of him.
Ling Zhong helped him cover up his lie, which was helping him to a certain extent.
But he couldn't figure it out. Why did the other party help him when he knew that he was not a direct descendant of the Ling family's holy clan?
Is it just because he is a disciple of Wuji Holy Land?
No matter how you look at it, this reason is a bit far-fetched.
"Master Lingtian, how about we sit down and talk?"
Ling Zhong was not in a hurry to answer Ling Tian's question. He smiled at Ling Tian and waved his hand to the seat on one side of the room, indicating that Ling Tian should take a seat.
Ling Tian was curious. He nodded slightly and walked out in two steps, sitting down on a seat on one side.
Ling Zhong immediately spoke again, "Young Master Ling Tian has the blood of the Ling's Holy Clan, and he has a deep connection with the Ling's Holy Clan. Previously, when he faced the Ling's and the Ling's Holy Clan in Jiangning City, he successively used the Ling's Holy Clan to
The direct lineage of the clan, the identity of the Ling clan members in Jiangning City is revealed, and presumably there must be some unspeakable secret. As for what the unspeakable secret is, it is not difficult to guess."
"What do you think I have to hide?"
Ling Tian looked at Ling Zhong, his eyes flashing with interest.
"I'm afraid that if I say it, I will offend Mr. Ling Tian."
Ling Zhong looked embarrassed and did not speak out.
Ling Tian said generously, "It's nothing offensive. Just tell me and listen."
Ling Zhong hesitated for a moment, but seeing that Ling Tian didn't mind, he tentatively guessed, "Master Ling Tian must be the illegitimate son of a strong man from the Ling family's holy clan, right?"
"hehe……"
Ling Tian smiled mysteriously and did not respond.
Strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with Ling Zhong's guess.
Based only on the information obtained by Ling Zhong, it is completely reasonable to make such a judgment.
Seeing Ling Tian's expression, Ling Zhong quickly changed the previous topic, "Master Ling Tian, actually this is not important. What is important is that Master Ling Tian needs an identity, and I also need Master Ling Tian to be the Ling family of Jiangning City.
Seek profit."
"Benefit?"
Ling Tian looked at Ling Zhong and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Ling Zhong must have some agenda to smooth things over for him with the Ling Saint Clan.
All he could think of was the word profit.
I'm just curious, what benefits can this bring to the Ling family in Jiangning City?
"Young Master Ling Tian knows that the Ling family in Jiangning City is a collateral branch of the Ling Holy Clan. After the collateral descendants meet the basic bloodline requirements, they are eligible to go to the Ling Holy Clan to take the assessment. Once they pass the assessment, they can
Become a direct descendant of the Ling Saint Clan. When the time comes, the Ling Saint Clan will give a large amount of resources to the collateral descendants in return."
Having said this, Ling Zhong did not intend to hide it and told Ling Tianda truthfully.
"that is it?"
Ling Tian was a little suspicious of Ling Zhong's words.
"Otherwise, what do you think Mr. Ling Tian thinks?"
Ling Zhong smiled and asked Ling Tiandao.
How did Ling Tian know what Ling Zhong was planning?
After thinking for a while, he felt something was wrong, and turned to Ling Zhong and asked, "According to what you said, you hope that I can represent the Ling family of Jiangning City to the Ling Saint Clan and participate in some assessment of the Ling Saint Clan. But what about you?
It is expected that I will definitely go to the Ling Saint Clan to take part in what kind of assessment?"
"It's not that I expected you to go to the Ling Holy Clan, but the Ling Holy Clan won't let you go."
Ling Zhong looked calm and composed, and replied with reason, "The Ling Holy Clan will notice you, Mr. Ling Tian, and come to our Jiangning City Ling Clan to confirm. It must be because Mr. Ling Tian's martial arts talent has caused the Ling Holy Clan to rape you."
Please pay attention. How can the Ling Saint Clan be willing to miss a person like Young Master Ling Tian? Even if Young Master Ling Tian has worshiped in Wuji Holy Land, they will definitely find ways to poach Young Master Ling Tian from Wuji Holy Land."
The Ling Saint Clan and the Wuji Holy Land are both first-rate forces in the middle wilderness.
In terms of overall strength, the Ling Holy Clan is slightly weaker than the Wuji Holy Land.
But the gap between the two is not too big.
In the history of the major first-class forces in the ancient continent, it is not unheard of for them to betray the original force and join other forces, especially those first-class forces that are not saints.
Take Feng Wudao as an example, didn't he just betray Qingyun Holy Land and join Ji's Holy Clan?
In addition, there are Qin Wenge and Hu Yanjue, who are almost the same.
Strictly speaking, Hu Yanjue's betrayal of the Huyan Holy Clan and his joining the Qin Sect was much more serious than Feng Wudao's betrayal of the Holy Land.
One is to leave the Holy Land and join another first-rate force.
One is to leave the Saint Clan and join a second-rate force.
It is also because of this that the Huyan Saint Clan is so angry.
All in all, in the eyes of the Ling Holy Clan, poaching Ling Tian from the Wuji Holy Land to recruit the Ling Holy Clan is not only not impossible, it can even be said to be logical, because Ling Tian carries the blood of the Ling Holy Clan.
"Aren't you afraid that one day, the Ling clan will discover that I am not actually a member of the Ling clan in Jiangning City?"
Ling Tian almost believed in Ling Zhong's motives, but he thought that since Ling Zhong had such a motive, he should not fail to consider some of the issues, "What is fake is fake after all. It can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for the rest of the life. If Ling
If the Saint clan is willing to investigate, they will be able to easily find out that I am not a member of the Ling clan in Jiangning City."
"Afraid! Of course I'm afraid that the Ling Saint Clan will find out the truth."
Ling Zhong nodded and spoke in a deep voice, looking at Ling Tian with a slightly serious look, "So, after I learned that Master Ling Tian showed up in Jiangning City, I immediately asked Ling Qian to invite you to come and have a talk.
Since the identity of Young Master Ling Tian, a descendant of the Ling family in Jiangning City, is false, then we will make him real."
"interesting."
When Ling Tian heard Ling Zhong's statement, he immediately felt fresh.
Then, he looked at Ling Zhong and asked curiously, "How can a fake become real?"
Ling Zhong smiled mysteriously and did not answer Ling Tian's question directly. He turned to Ling Tian and asked, "Master Ling Tian, what do you think of our little girl Ling Qian?"
"Ling Qian?"
Ling Tian was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Ling Zhong meant by this question.
However, he had no intention of avoiding this issue.
But before answering, he asked, "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
"Of course it's the truth."
Ling Zhong replied matter-of-factly.
When Ling Tian heard Ling Zhong's words, he was not afraid of offending Ling Zhong, and said truthfully, "Ling Qian's martial arts talent is outstanding among the Ling family in Jiangning City, but it can only be considered mediocre when looking at the entire military domain, let alone the entire Zhonghuang and even the
The ancient continent."
"indeed."
Ling Zhong did not deny Ling Tian's words, but his face showed a sad look, and he sighed helplessly, "Compared with Master Ling Tian, Qianqian's martial arts talent is indeed mediocre. What Master Ling Tian just said, actually happened to be talking about me, Jiang Ning.
Cheng Ling's current predicament. With her mediocre martial arts skills, Qian Qian is already considered the leader of the younger generation of our Jiangning City Ling clan. It is conceivable that the other members of our Jiangning City's younger generation of Ling clan have martial arts qualifications.
How lame."
"Why are you telling me this?"
Listening to Ling Zhong's words, Ling Tian felt even more strange.
He now feels that Ling Zhong's true purpose may not be as simple as obtaining benefits from the Ling Saint Clan.
