In the nameless pavilion, the fragrance of tea lingers.
Zhang Lingying stood aside, a little uneasy: "Senior, I..."
At this time, he was a little embarrassed to speak. After all, his purpose of coming today was to defect to Su Chen, but before he could speak, Su Chen arranged for his apprentice to leave.
Su Chen looked gentle, raised his head, and smiled: "Do you want to find a force to rely on?"
Zhang Lingying nodded: "Yes, senior, look..."
Su Chen picked up a cup of fragrant tea, took a sip, and then said slowly: "I can protect you, but have you ever thought about what do you want from me?"
Zhang Lingying hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "Senior, I want to become a saint."
He did not hide his purpose of coming to Su Chen. Whether it was in the Xu family or here, his purpose was only one, and that was to become a saint.
Now, he has reached the end of his spiritual path. If he can't continue to make breakthroughs, then he will continue to decline.
He will continue to go downhill in this semi-saint realm, and even, in the end, he may become a useless person.
A useless person who can step on him even if he is a half-saint.
This was something he didn't realize until recently.
Zhang Lingying knows very well in her heart that the rules of heaven and earth have changed. The world now is completely different from before. In the past, heaven did not give birth to such a powerful spiritual intelligence, let alone interfere with the operation of heaven and earth so forcefully. As long as one can cultivate to At the semi-saint level, one can always maintain a peak state. Even if there is no chance to become a saint, you can still find your own path of practice in the semi-saint realm.
But now, all this has changed.
In today's Tianfang, everything is controlled by the Taoist League, and the Taoist League is born according to the will of heaven. In the Taoist League, failure to become a saint means that the talent is exhausted, and what follows is The five degenerates of heaven and man created by heaven.
After experiencing the five declines of heaven and man one after another, the half-saint's power will experience a cliff-like decline, including the decline of Qi and blood, and the decline of luck.
As a result, over time, no matter how powerful the half-saint is, he will eventually become a useless person.
Zhang Lingying is naturally a person who is unwilling to be ordinary. How could he endure such a situation? Therefore, he has an increasingly persistent belief.
That is... he wants to become a saint!
When Su Chen heard Zhang Lingying say his purpose, his expression was slightly shocked. After taking a serious look at Zhang Lingying, Su Chen slowly said: "Why do you think that with me, you can get the chance to become a saint?"
Zhang Lingying was silent for a moment and said: "I know your identity."
Su Chen's hand holding the teacup suddenly stiffened, but he still slowly placed the teacup on the table without leaving a trace. He glanced at Zhang Lingying lightly: "You know my identity, so how dare you come to my place?"
Zhang Lingying's face was calm and she said slowly: "What's so daring about this? Just because you're here, it means they can't do anything to you."
Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Interesting!"
After thinking for a while, he nodded and asked: "I can give you the opportunity to become a saint. You also know that in today's world, if you want to become a saint, a saint must first fall. But, what do you have?" Do you have the qualifications to allow me to kill saints for you and help you become a saint?"
Zhang Lingying's face showed a look of thinking.
He had been thinking about this issue before he came.
He asked himself that at present, he did not have the qualifications to let Su Chen do this.
but……
Zhang Lingying gritted his teeth and said: "I can sign an oath of heaven with you and never betray. Even if I become a saint, I will still be your servant."
When Su Chen heard this promise, his heart was slightly shaken.
Such a promise is naturally very weighty, and Su Chen is not afraid that Zhang Lingying will deceive him, but he has to consider whether the investment is worth it.
Do you need a servant at the holy level by your side?
Su Chen just thought about it for a moment and had the answer in his heart.
need!
With his current situation, although he can stay in Tianyun City forever and wait for the next great change in the world, he still wants to go out and see the prosperity of the Holy City.
However, he has not yet become a saint!
Moreover, his situation is known to everyone in the Dao Alliance. If he goes to the Holy City in his current capacity, it will definitely attract the attention of the Dao Alliance.
Therefore, he needs a name.
An excuse to travel to the Holy City.
Su Chen's heart moved and he suddenly made a decision: "I agree!"
Zhang Lingying froze on the spot, her face filled with unspeakable excitement.
Obviously, he did not expect that Su Chen would really agree. You must know that the conditions he gave were like making a pie. When anyone hears that he is making a pie, the first thought in his mind is the plan.
What's more, someone from such a big family.
Zhang Lingying secretly muttered in her heart: "Can it be said that people from such a big family like to be painted with big cakes!"
In this case, he could only think about it secretly in his heart.
Zhang Lingying thought that her promise was a pie in the sky. After all, if she wanted to become a saint, she didn't know that she would have to wait until the year of the monkey. However, she didn't expect that at this time, Su Chen actually promised: "Tell me the location of the Xu family ruins, and I will Let you become a saint within a month."
Zhang Lingying's heart was beating wildly: "This??"
Su Chen said: "There is a saint among the ruins of the Xu family."
Zhang Lingying's face changed greatly: "How is this possible? How can there be a saint among the ruins of the Xu family? Could it be said that the old man of the Xu family has become a saint?"
Su Chen shook his head: "It's not the founder of the Xu family who has become a saint, but your Dragon Lord of Shenglong Hall who has become a saint."
Swish——
Zhang Lingying's whole old face suddenly turned extremely pale.
Even, his eyes showed a hint of panic.
Obviously, he never expected that Su Chen would know his true identity.
Su Chen looked at Zhang Lingying's dramatic change in expression and was not angry. He just smiled softly: "What? Are you surprised that I know your identity?"
Zhang Lingying waved her hands hurriedly: "Senior, I, I didn't mean to hide it, it's just that my current relationship with Shenglongtang..."
He was anxious to explain clearly, but at this moment, Su Chen just shook his head.
"Don't be so nervous. I have no objection to your identity as the dragon envoy of Shenglongtang. The reason why I know this is naturally because I have investigated you. I can't let an unknown person plot against me. No reaction at all?"
When Zhang Lingying heard this, she trembled with fright: "Senior, I didn't mean it. This matter..."
