The two big shots were fighting at high altitude, and Jiang Wang couldn't get a word in.
Fortunately, Ye Lingxiao helped cover up and he was not exposed more.
Therefore, he deliberately showed his hand in front of Ye Lingxiao, thinking that in return, he served the fish very carefully.
Not long after...
The fish has been burnt.
It was very quiet in the clouds, and the burnt smell floated lightly, like a fish swimming around the noses of several extraordinary monks. It was a bit naughty and a bit provocative.
Ye Lingxiao said expressionlessly: "If you have anything to do, go back to the pavilion first."
His eyebrows twitched and he added: "Take your grilled fish with you too."
Du Ruhui laughed loudly: "Master Ye Pavilion, the fish may be unhappy, but I guess you can't be happy either."
Losing the face of his great backer, Jiang Wang could only grab the dark "grilled fish" and leave in despair.
Everything is as usual in Yun City. Most people don't know that powerful people are visiting. The world of practitioners and the world of ordinary people are often separated.
Du Ruhui is the Prime Minister of the Zhuang Kingdom and is responsible for all matters. Ye Lingxiao, as the master of the Lingxiao Pavilion, is also the backbone of the entire Yun Kingdom. Some of the conversations between the two are inconvenient for Jiang Wang to hear. He is also very knowledgeable.
The two strong old acquaintances did not chat for too long. After they each came to their respective positions, the friendship they may have had can only fade away.
Jiang Wang waited for a while above Yuncheng, and then saw Ye Lingxiao floating over.
He quickly went up to him and thanked him: "Thank you, Master, for covering me up just now."
Ye Lingxiao didn't speak, just looked at him quietly for a while.
Jiang Wang looked a little uneasy.
"Du Ruhui thought that you were sent by the master of the pavilion to investigate the situation in Zhuang Country. He thought that our Lingxiao Pavilion had some ideas about the situation in the Western Region." Ye Lingxiao stood with his hands behind his hands: "I thought you were a smart person."
He was asking why Jiang Wang was so unwise and went to Zhuang Country to expose himself when his strength was far from sufficient.
Jiang Wang did not explain, only said: "I'm sorry for the trouble caused to Lingxiao Pavilion."
Ye Lingxiao waved his hand: "There is no need to coax you with lies and make you grateful. This is not a big trouble. Du Ruhui will not provoke me for such a trivial matter."
Jiang Wang wanted to hear Du Ruhui's real purpose in coming to Ye Lingxiao.
But Ye Lingxiao paused and then said, "It's just that you should know that some things cannot be undone."
He rarely considered his words: "Some things... may not be possible."
Jiang Wang understood what he was talking about and responded softly: "There has to be an explanation. Everyone else is gone, and I can't wait for An An to ask for it."
If he was filled with righteous indignation and agitated, Ye Lingxiao would find it easier to deal with it. It was precisely because he replied so softly and his voice was so calm that Ye Lingxiao realized that his decision could not be changed.
Looking down at the majestic Cloud City and tall peaks at his feet, Ye Lingxiao said: "The founder of our sect climbed this mountain and sighed, 'Embracing the floating clouds is like embracing frost and snow,' so it was named Baoxue Mountain."
Jiang Wang didn't know why he suddenly mentioned this, so he could only agree and praise: "It has both fairy spirit and grandeur."
"The establishment of the Yun Kingdom was not the original intention of Lingxiao Pavilion. A group of ordinary people with nowhere to go lived in Lingxiao Pavilion and gathered together to gradually form a scale. When there were more people, organization was needed, so a system was formed."
Ye Lingxiao said slowly: "However, I, Lingxiao Pavilion, have no intention of fighting for hegemony. All I want is to climb high and see far away, embrace the frost and snow. It is just practice. Although I am not afraid of trouble, I don't want to cause trouble. After all, the road is long, and those entanglements of cause and effect,
Impact on climbing.”
After a moment of silence, Jiang Wang nodded: "I can completely understand the difficulties and considerations of the master of the pavilion. It is wrong to bother you for so long. I will not cause trouble to Lingxiao Pavilion. I will pick up An An and take him with me.
Go to Qi to settle down."
"It doesn't have to be like this." Ye Lingxiao shook his head: "Jiang An'an is my direct disciple of Lingxiao Pavilion. I also like her very much, and there is no reason to expel her. However, seeing Du Ruhui come to the door today, as the master of Lingxiao Pavilion, I,
I have to remind you - if you can't let go of your hatred, Lingxiao Pavilion will not stand up for you if something happens in the future."
This is to tell Jiang Wang directly not to rely on the relationship between Jiang An'an and Ye Qingyu. Lingxiao Pavilion is not Jiang Wang's support.
Jiang Wang looked back into his eyes and said seriously: "Master Ye, please rest assured. I have never thought of letting Lingxiao Pavilion stand up for me. The road ahead may be a mountainous peak or a bottomless abyss. My own path is my own.
I go on my own. I make my own decisions and I bear my own responsibility."
"It was really unexpected to meet Du Ruhui this time. He asked me where I was from. This kind of question can be verified at any time. I can't lie in front of him. I promise you..."
Jiang Wang's expression was very serious: "There will be no next time. No matter what danger I encounter in the future, even if I die on the spot, I will not face Lingxiao Pavilion."
"What I say is not words of anger or resentment. But I understand your painstaking efforts as the head of the pavilion. Thank you for taking care of An An, and I solemnly make a promise to you."
Ye Lingxiao stared at him, and indeed he did not see any resentment or even dissatisfaction in this young man's eyes. This young man was indeed very clear-headed and knew that there was no legitimate support in the world... and he was indeed very proud.
"Very good. Although the man is young, he is strong and proud."
Ye Lingxiao nodded lightly: "I am thinking about Lingxiao Pavilion, and I don't need your understanding. But considering that you are An An's brother and Qing Yu's friend, I still want to explain it to you."
Jiang Wang replied: "I can completely understand the good intentions of the Pavilion Master."
"It's best if you can understand. It doesn't matter if you can't." Ye Lingxiao smiled slightly: "Let's go back to the pavilion to accompany An An."
…
…
Jiang Anan doesn't seem to need company very much.
When Jiang Wang found her, she was riding on a snow crane and dancing. The crane was rolling up and down. She was extremely happy. Senior Sisters Wang and Sister Wang were with her, fearing that she would fall.
Mo Liang and senior fellow apprentice "Fang" with a square face turned their backs and hid in a corner doing something.
Jiang Wang walked over and saw the two of them disemboweling a fat crane with deft hands and feet, talking about it from time to time.
"An'an lost the snow crane, have we used this reason once?"
"No, right? Didn't we talk about the snow crane that An An used to scare away with firecrackers last time?"
"Yeah, hehe. An'an has made great contributions to our sect, so I'll give her the crane legs this time!"
…
Jiang Wang: "...cough."
Mo Liang and Senior Brother "Fang" turned around in a hurry. Before Mo Liang turned back, he picked up the Dao Jue and put on a fighting posture. He was completely guilty of being a thief.
"Brother!" Mo Liang's frightened face was instantly replaced by surprise. This cry of brother was very friendly and natural: "You are back! Just as I was going to find you, a snow crane accidentally fell and died. We are cleaning it up. It tastes great!
You must try it!”
Senior Brother Fang Fang reacted relatively slowly. He only stiffly raised the corners of his mouth and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'd like to thank you first." Jiang Wang handed over the grilled fish smoothly: "On my way back, I happened to encounter a fish that drowned accidentally. It has been grilled. Please give it a try."
Mo Liang looked at the dark grilled fish, his eyes twitched, and he took it with a bright smile: "Thank you, brother! Our junior brother Xie Ruixuan likes to eat fish the most!"
While laughing, he stuffed the grilled fish into Brother Fang's hands.
In front of Jiang Wang, Brother Fang, whose real name is Xie Ruixuan, could only catch the grilled fish and continue to smile awkwardly and nod: "Yes, yes."
"Ouch!"
When Jiang Anan heard the noise over there, she rolled down and climbed onto the snow crane's back. She took off her short legs and ran this way: "Brother, you're back!"
Jiang Wang smiled kindly and looked at her very gently: "Have you practiced calligraphy today?"
"I'm about to go."
Jiang Anan jumped up to him lightly, hugged Jiang Wang's hand, and looked at him pitifully: "Brother, I'm about to go!"
