"What? He dares to hit even Young Master Hao? Can Mrs. Xiao let him go?"
"Of course not. Mrs. Xiao wanted to take people to arrest Ling Yunfeng last night. Unfortunately, the uncle and the fifth master came forward to mediate, and the matter was settled."
"Oops, did I scold Ling Yunfeng before? Do you think he will cause trouble for me?" A servant suddenly said with a worried look on his face.
"I feel sorry for his mother too. I'm also worried inside. I'll stay away from him when I see him in the future," another person said.
Such news spread almost everywhere in the Ling family courtyard. Some people who heard the news were surprised, while others were horrified, because many of them had bullied Ling Yunfeng before and were afraid that Ling Yunfeng would take revenge.
them.
Along the way to their own small courtyard, Ling Yunfeng and Li Li also met a lot of servants. Usually when they saw them, these servants basically treated them as transparent people and did not look at them with serious eyes. Some of them even went too far and even
Step forward and give yourself a hard time.
But today, when these servants saw him one by one, they immediately stepped back to let him pass first. Some even bent down and nodded in panic, and some even knelt on the roadside to salute, as if they were very afraid of him.
Seeing the rapid change in attitude of these servants, Ling Yunfeng also knew that the news from last night should have spread. Many of these people had felt sorry for him before, and they were probably afraid that he would retaliate against them.
Ling Yunfeng raised the corner of his mouth with a hint of ridicule. Strength really determines everything. These people are just ordinary servants, and they usually don't go too far. There is no need for him to care about them, otherwise he will look vulgar.
"Drink!" Just after returning to the door of his courtyard, Ling Yunfeng suddenly heard a woman's shout. He looked up and saw a light red figure holding a handle on a flat open space in the courtyard.
The long sword is dancing, the long sword is dancing, the clothes are fluttering, and the hair is swaying. Every movement is so graceful and full of rhythm.
"Sister Xueyan? Why is she here practicing swordsmanship?" Ling Yunfeng murmured with doubtful eyes. That beautiful figure was none other than Ling Xueyan.
"Drink!" Ling Xueyan shouted softly, and lightly jumped into the air, spinning a few times in the air like a butterfly. Then she raised her wrist slightly, and the long sword in her hand drew several beautiful arcs in the air.
Waves of martial energy flashed through the air quickly, intersecting in the shadow of the sword, which looked a bit strange.
"Blue Water Sword Technique!" Immediately, Ling Xueyan shouted softly, and shot the long sword forward into the air. Suddenly, a burst of dazzling blue light erupted from the long sword, and a majestic energy filled the air.
The next moment, five blue sword lights suddenly burst out from the light, shooting forward like five blue long swords, and then fell heavily on the ground.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Several violent sonic booms suddenly sounded in the courtyard. Mud flew from the ground, and a burst of smoke rose into the air, which then slowly dissipated.
Ling Xueyan fell from mid-air, her delicate cheeks were a little rosy, and there was a little fragrant sweat on her face. The hair on her temples was close to her cheeks. The breeze blew by, and a few strands of hair on her forehead were gently raised, making Ling Xueyan
The whole body's temperament is elegant and a little more charming.
"Miss Xueyan, you are really strong. I'm afraid your cultivation level is above that of a fifth-level warrior." Ling Mo stepped forward to flatter him with a smile on his face, and at the same time his face was full of envy, thinking to himself
I wonder when I will have this kind of strength.
"It's not bad. I heard that you are also a martial artist. As long as you work hard, you may be stronger than me." Ling Xueyan lifted up a few strands of hair in front of her forehead and smiled softly.
"My little strength can't compare with Miss Xueyan." Ling Mo smiled sheepishly.
"Miss Xueyan is so powerful! She is truly the number one among the younger generation of the Ling family. Her strength is probably at the level of an eighth-level warrior." Li Li, who was standing in front of the courtyard gate, admired slightly.
"Yeah!" Ling Yunfeng nodded slightly, Ling Xueyuan was indeed very strong, and she definitely couldn't take the move just now.
Moreover, the opponent obviously suppressed his strength, but his power was definitely comparable to that of an average eighth-level warrior.
Some time ago, I heard that she was an eighth-level warrior, and now I am afraid she has made another breakthrough.
"Eh? Yunfeng, are you back?" At this moment, Ling Xueyuan suddenly saw Ling Yunfeng and Li Li standing in front of the door.
"Well, Sister Xueyan, why do you come here to practice swordsmanship?" Ling Yunfeng stepped forward and asked.
"Oh, I don't trust you so just come here. Anyway, I have nothing to do recently." Ling Xueyan said, but she was inexplicably panicked inside, and her cheeks were slightly rosy.
"Oh, eh? Where's Mengyou? Isn't she with you?" Ling Yunfeng didn't seem to notice Ling Xueyuan's abnormality, and asked casually. He knew that Ling Xueyuan and Ling Mengyu often came together, why didn't he see him today?
Ling Mengyu is that little girl.
"Oh, she is busy preparing for the entrance exam for Hunwu Academy in half a month. She must be practicing in seclusion these days." Ling Xueyan said, and then she looked at Ling Yunfeng with a flash of her beautiful eyes: "Hunwu Academy
Will you take the academy's disciple recruitment exam? If you can become a disciple of Hunwu Academy, most people won't dare to deal with you."
"Me? I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications, right?" Ling Yunfeng chuckled. He remembered that the Hunwu Academy did not recruit many disciples in Qingfu City. Each family had a fixed number of people, so the Ling family probably would not let him go.
Of course, in addition to members of several major families, the city lord's palace in Qingfu City will also hold martial arts competitions in the city to select some talented young talents.
Of course, this competition also has certain restrictions. Children of families who have been assigned quotas are not allowed to participate.
It is said that these major families have some subtle relationship with the Hunwu Academy. Otherwise, the younger generations of the major families may not get fixed allocation quotas and can only participate in competitions held with the City Lord's Mansion.
"I met my uncle this morning. I heard that he will arrange for you to participate in the clan competition this year. If you perform well, you will also be sent to participate in the competition." Ling Xueyan said.
"Oh, really? Let's talk about it then." Ling Yunfeng said. He has no plans to join any force now. With his aloof character, he still likes to be an unfettered casual cultivator by himself.
Besides, he didn't trust his mother to stay alone in the Ling family. Who would take care of his mother if he left.
"Feng'er, you're back. Come in and have something to eat. Your sister Xueyan just brought it." At this time, Mrs. Su also came out of the room. When she saw Ling Yunfeng, she walked over and said.
"Mom, I'm not hungry now. Oh, by the way, I have to go out for a while, it may take a few days." Ling Yunfeng said that he had to make alchemy quickly to improve his strength.
"Where are you going to take so long?" Su asked with concern.
"I'm going to go into seclusion for a few days." Ling Yunfeng said without any concealment. He was now a martial artist, and it was normal for him to go into seclusion.
"Ling Yunfeng, there is a place for retreat in the family, I will take you there." Ling Xueyan said.
"No need, I have my own place for retreat." Ling Yunfeng said, although it would be safer to stay at Ling's house during this period, but he has too many secrets and is not suitable for retreat at Ling's house.
"Oh, then be careful." Hearing this, Ling Xueyan did not stop him. She also knew that Ling Yunfeng might have some secrets that he did not want others to know.
"Master, do you want me to go with you? I can protect you." Li Li said.
"No need, Manager Li." Ling Yunfeng glanced at Li Li gratefully. Although they didn't get along for a long time, he could feel that Li Li was quite a good person.
"How can this be done? The fifth master asked me to protect the young master." Li Li said.
"It's okay, Manager Li. It's not convenient for me to take people there, but it's absolutely safe. Just don't worry." Ling Yunfeng said.
"This..." Hearing this, Li Li hesitated immediately and felt a little at a loss. He was ordered to protect Ling Yunfeng. If something happened to him when he went out on his own, he couldn't afford it.
Besides, this man is the third master's only son. If something happens, even if the fifth master doesn't punish him, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
Seeing Li Li's hesitant expression, Ling Yunfeng seemed to know what he was thinking, and immediately said: "Okay, Manager Li, I have something very important to go out this time, but I can only go alone.
"
"Okay. Young Master, please be careful." Li Li pondered for a while before nodding helplessly. After listening to Ling Yunfeng's words, he could naturally guess what he was going to do after living a long life.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Ling Yunfeng nodded.
He immediately said something to his mother and left the courtyard. At this time, with Li Li and Ling Xueyan protecting his mother, he was not too worried about what would happen.
"It's best that nothing happens to this child." Mrs. Su looked at Ling Yunfeng's back with some worry, but did not stop her. She knew that her son was different from before and had his own things to do.
"Mom, don't worry, nothing will happen." Ling Xueyan said softly, and then pulled Su into the hall...
In a small valley in the back mountain, Ling Yunfeng sneaked to the cave where he used to practice. He turned around and looked behind him for a few times to make sure no one was following him, then he ran into the cave like a thief.
At this time, he had exposed his strength and attracted the attention of others. Besides, Xiao Xianghan was also trying every possible means to kill him, so he had to be more careful.
After entering the cave, Ling Yunfeng immediately summoned the Nine Dragons Heaven Refining Cauldron, transformed it into the size of a grain of sand and buried it in the soil in a corner of the cave, and then stepped into the cauldron refining space.
In the cauldron refining space, Ling Yunfeng came to the place where elixirs were refined in the past, and immediately placed the medicinal materials for refining Jinyuan Dan next to the simple bronze medicinal cauldron.
Then Ling Yunfeng slowly closed his eyes and carefully reviewed the refining method of Jin Yuan Dan in his mind again. This Jin Yuan Dan was a gold-grade middle-grade pill, which was equivalent to a second-grade pill in this world. He had no choice but to
