Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

Although Ling Yao's harsh words really aroused a wave of hatred from everyone present.

But except for Ling Linhan, no one here really has the chance to compete with this genius who is now a third-tier genius.

What's more, in this matter, it is indeed Hengnan's fault.Even if Ling Linhan could be better, it would be too ugly to make such a move against the master's family in Hengnan's territory. On the contrary, it would make people feel that they were "guilty".

It is reasonable to say that they can't beat others, and they can't even beat them—and fortunately they all have such an understanding. At this juncture, no one dared to make a move, which finally prevented this "meeting" from causing greater embarrassment.

However, if you want to keep this last face, you always suffer some "wrongedness".

Under the tacit understanding of the end of the topic between the two parties, Ling Yao flung his sleeves in a cool manner in front of the ugly faces of everyone present, and walked away in a leisurely way—this really made Heng Nan, who were gnashing their teeth, stunned. I can't bend.

However, this grievance is destined to be aggrieved for a long time.Because before they figured out a way to continue to deal with Ling Yao, what stood in front of them was the stack of data and analysis reports left by Ling Yao, which reminded them harshly:

It's not over yet.

They still owe the master and everyone an explanation.

However, where to check?How to check?Who will check?What conclusion will be drawn in the end?If the conclusion is unfavorable to Hengnan, how will they reply to the master?If someone really interfered, how would they deal with it?How to calm things down and calm people's hearts?

Such and such problems, one after another, lie between them and Ling Yao, as if silently mocking them-no matter in terms of cultivation or means, they want to catch up with Ling Yao, and even fight back. For them, it is as difficult as climbing the sky.

Fortunately, in the short silence after Ling Yao left, Ling Linhan finally got rid of the emotion of being out of the situation just now, organized the rest of the people to have a new discussion on the current problem, and specified a preliminary division of labor plan and coping strategy. Soothed the shaken hearts.

Perhaps it was Ling Linhan's performance after calming down that really stabilized their emotions, or maybe it was Ling Yao's ridicule of "no distinction between public and private", "organization without discipline", and "leadership without dignity" that provoked them. In their hearts, this group of people finally restrained their attitudes at this moment, joined the discussion seriously, and went to work according to the division of labor.

To be honest, Ling Linhan didn't know whether what happened today was a good thing or a bad thing.

Although their performance today is really not glorious, at least these free-spirited guys finally learned what is a normal "leadership team" under Ling Yao's beating, and learned to speak out unanimously at critical moments. It wasn't that he started fighting among himself first, and learned to respect his own leader—this may be Ling Linhan's biggest gain from this day.

However, not everyone will choose to digest and sort out everything that happened during the day alone——

"Brother Han! Are you free? I have something to ask you!"

When Ling Linhan was reviewing the archives provided by Ling Yao in his room, trying to find a new breakthrough, Ling Yuandong's voice in the yard interrupted his thoughts.

He wiped his forehead and shouted to the door:

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Seeing Ling Yuandong walking into the door with a serious face and closing the door with a cautious look, Ling Linhan knew that what the other party wanted to ask must not be that simple.So he simply put down the paper, motioned Ling Yuandong to sit down, and turned his whole body around.

"What's the matter? You made a special trip to find me in the middle of the night. Are you in any trouble?"

Ling Yuandong waved his hand, hesitant to speak.

"That's what you don't understand? Is it something during the day?"

Ling Linhan knew Ling Yuandong's temperament, he was very impatient, irritable, and often unreasonable; but if he took the initiative to ask others for advice, he would definitely be sincere and have a correct attitude.

Seeing Ling Linhan's expression didn't seem to mind talking about the day's affairs, Ling Yuandong breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, and asked:

"Brother Han, I was too excited during the day and didn't take your feelings into account. I humiliated Hengnan in front of Ling Yao! I'll make an apology here first!

"However, I'm not questioning your decision, I just really don't understand it! Why do we follow his words and take over the investigation! Isn't it obvious that the master is causing trouble for us and throwing dirty water?!

"Even if there is something wrong with us internally, it is a matter of our own investigation. Why did he take the opportunity to snatch the command and press us to give him an explanation! Didn't you also see that when he left today That swagger! I just can't get enough of it!"

Ling Linhan sighed and shook his head:

"I know that everyone doesn't have a good impression of the people in the master's family. Maybe you have a better solution to this matter. But from the standpoint of the master's family, Ling Yao's approach is already very gentle.

"I'm not trying to change his image in your minds by saying this, but to illustrate a fact - if another person represents the Ling family to deal with us, he will have the right to dispatch the frontline materials and pinpoint our mistakes It is absolutely impossible to just piss us off in front of our faces.

"Even if he doesn't use coercive means, but releases the news in his hands immediately, the image of the Hengnan lineage in the eyes of the people will be greatly reduced, and whether our people are qualified for this battle will be judged by the commander." Everyone questioned.

"Don't think that the number of casualties is just a trivial matter. Just like what Ling Yao said, if someone among us dares to use power for personal gain today, and secretly attack the master's family; in the future, he will never let go when dealing with other branches If so, what is the difference between us and those who acted domineeringly in the Lord's family? The people may not like the Lord's family, but they will never support such Hengnan."

"So, that guy had a lot of means to deal with us. At that time, no matter whether you thought he was stupid, he was soft-hearted, or he had his own persistence, he really gave us a chance.

"And I have to seize this opportunity to give him a clear attitude and specific measures that can satisfy him temporarily, so as to control the initiative of the investigation in our own hands."

Seeing Ling Yuandong's thoughtful expression, Ling Linhan added:

"The choice I made may not be the top choice, but if I get caught up in his rhetoric because of a moment of impatience, and let the people from the master's family lead the investigation, that will be a really convenient way for them to smear the dirt. I also hope that You can understand, my choice at the time..."

After all, Ling Linhan still didn't say anything.In fact, he was more inclined to Ling Yao's side in this matter.

There are problems around him, and someone is plotting and calculating in private, it is already a certainty.If it wasn't for taking care of the emotions of people like Heng Nan and stabilizing Heng Nan's position, he really wanted to use Ling Yao's power to remove all the nails around him.

It's a pity that he can only be a "peacemaker" here now, analyzing the pros and cons of the whole matter from Heng Nan's standpoint, so as to avoid any direct conflict between his own people and Ling Yao.

"Brother Han, don't say that! We all know that you are doing it for our own good. No matter how unwilling the brothers are, it will never be blamed on you! Sigh - I am just stupid! Don't blame me for being ignorant Enough!"

Ling Linhan shook his head, not knowing whether he was helpless or really didn't care.To put it bluntly, Ling Yuandong really doesn't think too much about things.

Not to mention the battle with Ling Yao, even on the battlefield against the demons, he often caused disasters due to impulsiveness and carelessness.

But everyone also knows that he did it unintentionally, and he has absolutely no intention of harming others. When it is time to charge and kill the enemy, he is more active than anyone else.

If it wasn't for some irreversible event, I really couldn't bear to say something too harsh - this is indeed a troublesome character, even Ling Linhan often feels that he can only deal with him.

Then Ling Yuandong asked some specific investigation matters.It was rare that the other party was willing to ask and listen, so Ling Linhan naturally answered his questions one by one.

It's just that the more we talked about it, the more Ling Linhan felt something was wrong.Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, pretending to be unintentional and asked:

"Brother Dong, I'm actually curious too. If you have to choose, do you hate the master or Ling Yao more? Look at your posture, why do you seem to hate Ling Yao more..."

"How do you choose? Naturally, I don't like it, and I wish they would disappear!"

Ling Yuandong didn't understand Ling Linhan's intention of probing, so he patted his chest angrily,

"Brother Han, you also know why my father is gone. But you may not know that the one who approved this matter at the time was the 'eldest young master'! It was clearly the person in charge of their family who made the first move, deliberately provoking Hurt people, my father and the others will resist. That is for self-defense!

"In the end, they hacked my father and the others to death with one knife, and reported the matter to the higher authorities, but the result was that the two sides quarreled and fought, and each side hit fifty sticks!

"My father and the others are all dead! The ones who took action in their master's family received such light punishments as kneeling in the ancestral hall and confinement! Our brothers don't even talk about material compensation, but even a few words of spiritual comfort. I didn't get it! How can I bear it!

"Whether you want to say that he is partial to his own family, or he is really being deceived by others, I will never give him the slightest face! As for the master's family, it is irreconcilable!"

Ling Linhan shook his head, after much deliberation, it is better to avoid this topic for the time being.

Otherwise, as if he was suddenly reminded of the past today and immediately lost his mind, reminding Ling Yuandong of the past will not only fail to solve the problem, but may be swayed by irrational emotions and miss the important event at hand.

Just when he was about to change the subject, he suddenly heard abnormal mental fluctuations coming from the courtyard.

"Who!?"

He stood up and looked out the window.There was no sound outside the window, only the shadow of the tree shaking under the moonlight, as if the flash of consciousness just now was just his illusion.

But that's impossible.

At his level, unless he is deceived by the True Yuan Realm, it is absolutely impossible to mistake this kind of fluctuation that has not been concealed at all-the other party is just running fast enough.

Although Ling Yuandong couldn't feel that mental wave, but seeing Ling Linhan's nervous reaction, he also began to feel a little uneasy.

This is Hengnan's territory!The one who can alert Ling Linhan must be a master!

Sure enough, Ling Linhan frowned, and immediately leaned on the table, turned out the window, leaving only one sentence:

"I'll chase over to have a look, you stay here, read the information, don't be hit by people's voices. Be careful!"

Before Ling Yuandong asked if he wanted to notify others, Ling Linhan's figure had disappeared into the night.

Although he felt uneasy, Ling Yuandong still listened to Ling Linhan's words and stayed where he was.

After all, in the entire Hengnan realm, apart from Ling Yao, Ling Linhan is already the highest-cultivated figure.He went to call a group of Dongxu Realm to rush to find people, but it really couldn't help much.

I don't know what the other party is.Is it the spies of Wolong Kingdom monitoring them, or the spies sent by several big families around?

Or... the Demon Race?

……

If Ling Linhan knew what Ling Yuandong was thinking at this time, he would definitely say

——The demons are farts.It's the devil! !

"If it was you, why did you run away! I thought it was the enemy coming! Something is wrong with you!"

"What's wrong is you! Didn't I take back my spiritual sense immediately? You're chasing after me! Who is idle and bored just looking at you and running away! Besides, I was caught by you when I went out to find a kitchen Stop! There is a fool next to you, can I not run away! Do I want to save face!"

"We Hengnan treated you harshly or something! What the hell are you looking for in the middle of the night kitchen!"

"It doesn't take a lot of physical and mental effort to fight with you when you think I'm talking about it during the day! What do you eat in Hengnan! It's terrible! The roadside stalls in Luoshan next door are better than your chef's cooking! This is not harsh treatment, what is it! What's the problem with looking for the kitchen when you're hungry in the middle of the night?! I have no human rights!?"

Ling Linhan: ...Knowing that the other party's behavior is cat-cake, but because the other party is too righteous and even well-founded, I don't know where to criticize.

"Ah, my beggar chicken has enough time! Excavate!!"

Seeing someone happily pawing the ground, Ling Linhan felt physically and mentally exhausted today.

What is he trying to come out in the middle of the night!Are you trying to get mad? !
