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

The market in the main house is very lively.Ling Yao stood by the gate of the post station, looking at the endless stream of people in every possible way.

"Young Master! Young Master! Here, here!"

Ling Yao followed the reputation, and the doorman of the post station ran over with a two-wheeled cart, and greeted him with a cheerful face.

Many passers-by also turned their heads when they heard the sound, but after seeing this scene, they showed a clear expression of not being surprised.

This is the eldest young master of the Ling family entrusting the people at the inn to bring wine to the alcoholic father at home, and this is nothing new.

"Slow down! If you break it, whoever will pay me!"

Ling Yao greeted him with a smile and cursing.

The boy grinned, and lifted the red cloth covering the wine jar:

"Look, this is good! This batch of wine is very fragrant!"

Ling Yao glanced roughly, and quickly swept away with his spiritual power, and put all the wine jars into the temporary mustard bag:

"As usual, put it on the account."

But this time, the little boy didn't answer with a smile like before, but hesitated a bit, as if he wanted to ask something more.

"what happened?"

Ling Yao raised his eyebrows and asked a casual question.

The little boy rubbed his hands together and asked curiously:

"Eldest young master... um... you really want to fight that brat from that branch? What's that called... a five-year contract?"

Ling Yao was noncommittal, but asked:

"What have you heard, tell me about it?"

Seeing that Ling Yao asked, the little boy didn't shy away from it, and said with a smile:

"Young master, don't be angry when you hear it. I'm just hearing gossip here. A few days ago, that kid was sent out, and some people said that you couldn't understand the rising star of the Zhi clan, and tried every means to trouble that kid. Now the kid will solve it. I found the problem of the Hezhou Canyon, I got a big opportunity, and I have made you jealous, and I am trying to find a way to find out the past, and then trick that kid again."

Ling Yao was not annoyed when he heard that, he just rolled his eyes:

"If you dare to do it or not, it's all on me."

"Hehe, I guess so. If my master has the heart to deal with that kid, how can that kid be at ease until today? But no matter what the rumors are, you have made an appointment for this fight, and everyone has to think about the reason. I just don't know, you and that kid Some kind of lottery between the boys..."

Five years ago, Ling Linhan made an appointment with him to teach him a lesson, make him regret and apologize; but he only thought it was a child's play, and he just agreed.

But now, the five-year contract in the true sense has expired, and neither party had the desire to bring up the old matter before, and everyone thought that the matter would be over.Now it has been dug up and publicized again, and both parties have agreed to it, so why not make people curious about the reason?

"Knowing too much is never a good thing."

Ling Yao didn't answer, but just said it in a mysterious way.Seeing that Ling Yao didn't want to say more, the boy didn't dare to get to the bottom of it, so he chatted a few asides, promised that Ling Yao would definitely bring good wine next time, and then went to the inn.

Ling Yao shook his head and walked towards the residence.

It wasn't that he was covering it up, but that the reason for the "five-year agreement" that was mentioned again probably didn't fit the ideas of these people—it wasn't that he and Ling Linhan finally fell out again.

On the contrary, it was Ling Linhan's initiative to propose a settlement plan.

At that time, Ling Linhan solved a big problem of the Ling family in Hezhou Canyon, and after returning, he became famous and became popular.The thoughtful juniors of the master's house naturally gritted their teeth at him, thinking of ways to deal with him.

Ling Yao can only pretend not to know most of the time, and let them die as cannon fodder.But sometimes when major matters of the Ling family were involved, he really had to come forward to solve one or two problems, while allowing outsiders to take advantage of the loopholes.

After all this, Ling Linhan probably also realized that if things were allowed to develop, there would be a day when there would be a complete break between him and Ling Yao.Therefore, before Ling Yao made up his mind to bring up the five-year agreement again, Ling Linhan brought it up first.

The conditions are naturally different from those in the past: if Ling Yao wins, Ling Linhan will personally announce in front of everyone that he will never cause any trouble for the master's family in the name of revenge for Ling Tianyi.

This limitation sounds dispensable - you can't think of revenge in the name of your father, can't Hengnan find any other reason?But Ling Yao knew that if Ling Linhan dared to say this, he must have drawn a line in his heart.Whether it is public or private, the effect of practicing in Ling Linhan's hands is bound to be different.

On the other hand, if Ling Linhan wins, then Ling Yao must promise not to intervene in the battle for the head of the Ling family from now on—not only that he can't fight for himself, but also can't be the backer of others to fight for others.Of course, if he wants to save the life of the loser in the battle for the head of the family, it is not bound by the treaty.

Ling Yao was not very willing to get involved in this mess.After Ling Weiran let go of his knots and was no longer obsessed with letting the main line of the main family succeed the patriarch, he even lost his mind on who to support.Ling Linhan's proposal can be said to be sleepy, and someone gave him a pillow, and Ling Yao agreed on the spot.

By the way, he also vaguely mentioned that the inner demon might still be hiding in Ling Linhan's body. As for whether a certain kid got it, or whether he was willing to get it, it's hard to say.

Anyway, not only did the flag of the "five-year agreement" not be pulled out, it was also firmly planted by Ling Yao and Ling Linhan.This also made Ling Yao feel very embarrassed.

But things have developed to this point, Ling Linhan can still beat himself to the ground like the "Long Aotian novel routine" that he complained about... Ling Yao can't believe it.

Although Ling Linhan got another chance in Hezhou Canyon this time, Ling Yao is not 100% sure that he can beat the opponent.But if you want to say you lose, that's not enough.After all, Ling Linhan is constantly improving, so isn't Ling Yao making any progress?

There is a raw face on the first floor, and a raw face on the third floor. Ling Yao feels that he can still save it.

...Although if the other party is not the "protagonist" Ling Linhan, the one who should be rescued should be the one at the first level of Puxiang!

Alas, different people have different fates, but the protagonist is really lucky.A certain incompetent villain shook his head and sighed, and even wanted to go home and eat an extra bowl of rice.

In short, Ling Yao has no obsession with the outcome of this fight.Whether you lose or win, just go all out, what do you think about so much?This is also the reason why he can still maintain this leisurely and calm state of mind.

Just thinking about things all the way, walking and stopping back to the residence, Ling Yao pushed open the gate of his father's courtyard.Ling Yao was surprised that it was rare that the yard was full of wine jars and full of alcohol.

He still casually greeted the room as before, and without waiting for Ling Xingran to respond, he just piled up the jars of new wine that had been put away in the corner.

Today, however, it is probably just the sun rising in the west.Not only did my father not make a mess in the yard, wander around with wine gourds, and he didn't look drunk at all, on the contrary, he looked at Ling Yao with a serious and even a little serious face.

Ever since he entered the Changling Sword Gate, Ling Yao had never seen his father show such an expression.Goodbye now, Ling Yao only felt goosebumps all over his body, and felt a little overwhelmed for a while.

However, before Ling Yao could ask "What happened today", Ling Xingran took the initiative to speak:

"Someone came to look for you just now, and it looks like it's from Hengnan. I told you that you were not here, but he insisted on asking you to meet alone."

"Who?"

Although Ling Yao asked casually, he already had a guess in his heart.

The appointment is coming soon, Heng Nan will take the initiative to talk to him, except for Ling Linhan who Ling Xingran must know, probably only Ling Yuandong who has a relationship with Ling Yao.

I just don't know, what exactly does this guy want to talk to me about?Should I raise the bet on the battle, or say a few harsh words to my enemy before the battle?

However, Ling Yao's face was swollen in the next second——

"It seems to be Ling Feiyu? He asked you to meet at Baisonglin tonight. Oh, by the way, what else did he say... Dragon Academy has many methods to deal with those who don't cooperate?"

Ling Xingran waved his hand,

"I don't really know, I just wanted to give you a message. It's probably because of Ling Linhan who came to trouble you. Anyway, you should be careful."

However, the next second when he felt so slapped in the face, Ling Lingyao's hairs stood on end.

Ling Feiyu...Shenlong Academy!

In fact, with the information about the "Heavenly Blessed One" brought by Xiao Ji Nian, Ling Yao already naturally believed that the main goal of Shenlong Academy was to control the "Heavenly Blessed One" Ling Linhan, and he was just a part of the whole show. "Villain supporting role".

As long as one's behavior does not violate the "script" of Shenlong Academy in the general direction, the people of the academy will only create conditions so that Ling Linhan can attack him, and will not personally send people to trouble him.

Otherwise, they would not only lose a "villain" who could promote the "plot", but also make Ling Linhan extremely suspicious.

Therefore, Ling Yao privately thought that no matter how hard this guy was, the focus would only be on Ling Linhan.Especially now, Ling Linhan is full of doubts about the purpose of Shenlong Academy, Ling Feiyu will only be more anxious to please Ling Linhan, and there is no way to spare to deal with himself who is not the focus at the moment.

Therefore, even though he knew that Ling Feiyu was most likely a nail placed by Shenlong Academy in Hengnan, and his strength was probably far from being as simple as the "water disaster in the cave" that appeared on the surface, Ling Yao did not regard this person as Take it too much to heart.

As a result, the appointment is imminent, and logically speaking, everything is developing according to the "script"—whether it is the "script" of Shenlong Academy, or the so-called "novel" of "finding no such person".However, Ling Feiyu suddenly revealed his identity, asked to meet him on behalf of Shenlong Academy, and even used the Ling family as a threat between words... Ling Yao really couldn't figure it out.

You don't want to threaten to force yourself to admit defeat in the battle, right?

Not to mention that in this kind of battle that is evenly matched and may turn into a life-and-death battle at any time, releasing water casually is tantamount to courting death; even if he is really capable of releasing water, wouldn't Ling Linhan not be able to see it with his current strength?Doesn't this mean taking the initiative to buy flaws?

However, Ling Yao did not think more about Ling Feiyu's purpose.Because he soon realized that no matter what the other party's goals were, he had no choice - Shenlong Academy had given up its face as a powerful force and ended up personally using the Ling family as a threat.

Unless Ling Yao can really put an end to all emotions and six desires, and abandon the entire Ling family and his relatives and friends, why can't he just listen to the other party, go to the appointment, and even agree to the other party's request?

In fact, Shenlong Academy's approach is already scruples about Changling Sword Gate.Otherwise, they would randomly send a teacher at the peak of Puxiang to come to Ling's house and stab Ling Yao to death with a single knife, even if the Changling Sword Gate will make trouble in the future, so what?Ling Yao himself has already burped!

Probably because he has been too cowardly all these years, Ling Yao neither interfered in the incidents that might involve the big boss, nor involved in the adventures that were too risky.Therefore, the enemy who can be really offended by Ling Yao and wants to make Ling Yao suffer by any means, for Ling Yao, it is a bit tricky to solve.

Coupled with the fact that he has the backing of his masters, Ling Yao has had a smooth life for a long time, and sometimes he forgets that there are not a few masters in this world who can easily threaten him or even kill him.

It's just that these people have all kinds of interests involved, and if they deal with the disciples of Changling Sword Sect, they will have to hurt themselves a lot, so they don't want to personally deal with Ling Yao, a junior, and his little Ling family. Just shoot.

But if among these people, someone is really determined to kill him and the people around him... Ling Yao really has nothing to do.

Even though Ling Yao was always vigilant on weekdays, when Shenlong Academy really used all kinds of shameless tricks, he would probably be the same.But he didn't take any precautions before - thinking of this, Ling Yao felt warm.

But he is not the kind of person who is at the mercy of the enemy and resigns himself to fate.

Although Ling Yao thought a lot after hearing the news, what Ling Feiyu is doing now is just to ask him to meet in private first; the purpose is also very clear, it is for the result of this five-year war .

This also shows that at least Shenlong Academy didn't plan to engage in extreme methods when it came up, and it didn't intend to directly expose these things to Ling Linhan, the "blessed man of heaven".

This is also his chance.

If he kills Ling Feiyu before the other party is unprepared and blocks the information channel of Shenlong Academy; then reaches an agreement with Ling Linhan and entrusts the Ling family to the other party; The boundary of Ling Jianmen...

... Well, he admits that every step of the way is risky.But at least it's a possibility for now.He has to be prepared for this.

But the premise of all this is... Ling Feiyu's appointment with him was really just for "talking".

……

The white pine forest at night is desolate and lonely.The cold moonlight hit the white branches without any leaves, casting a mottled tree shadow.

crunch.crunch.crunch.

The sound of dry branches being stepped on.

"You're here. It's earlier than I thought."

Ah——ah—— fluttering——

The crow circled in the air and disappeared into the distant mountains by the moonlight.

And under the tree where the crow once rested, stood Ling Feiyu.

His demeanor is calm and heavy, without the childishness and frivolity of a young man.If it wasn't for this person's face against Ling Feiyu, Ling Yao would only think he was a stranger when he saw him.

Strange strong.Even if the aura is only in the Void Realm, people will feel that this is a strong person at first glance.

"Who are you? Ling Feiyu's impostor, or is Ling Feiyu himself a fictional character from the beginning?"

The edge of the Yingying Sword in Ling Yao's hand turned, and a cold light flowed on the spine of the sword.

"Ling Feiyu" in front of him smiled when he heard this:

"Of course 'I' has always been 'Ling Feiyu'. From 'birth' to now. Feiyu, can't speak..."

Ling Yao naturally understood the implication of these words.

Ling Linhan showed the characteristics of "Heaven's Blessed", even if he got such a treasure as the Nine Heavens Chongyun Pagoda, it was only eight years ago.But "Ling Feiyu" existed before that.

This can only show that the other party has already made plans for the Ling family before that, so they are lurking here.Using the identity of "Ling Feiyu" to get close to Ling Linhan just coincided with his meeting.

But what is there in the Ling family that Shenlong Academy has been coveting so far, but they dare not do it directly?

And who is playing this "Ling Feiyu"?

"What do you want from the Ling family? What do you want from me?"

Ling Yao's footsteps moved forward slowly, as if he just wanted to get closer to the person he was talking to.But if you look closely, fine sword threads are condensing behind him, and they continue to spread out like smoke in all directions of the white pine forest.

The opponent has already taken the lead, so he naturally wants to make the most of the information he has to create the most favorable conditions for him.Long before Zi Shi, he had already set up dark eyes with inspiration patterns around him, which could be triggered at any time as long as the sword thread was pulled.

However, Ling Feiyu did not directly answer Ling Yao's question.Obviously, the real villain will not let himself die by talking too much.Even if he is a talker, he will not reveal his real plan in words.

"Ugh."

Ling Feiyu put his hands behind his back and looked up into the void, making people wonder if he was looking up at the moonlight or if he really saw Ling Yao's sword energy spreading in the air.But just this sigh set alarm bells ringing in Ling Yao's heart.

Soon, his intuition came true.

"Whether it's strength or heart, you really fit my heart. If you came to Shenlong Academy, maybe I would accept you as my closed disciple, and even inherit my position in the future. What a pity..."

Before the words fell, the surrounding air suddenly became hot.In the gradually rising temperature, the fluctuation of spiritual power is also rising, and the red spiritual power condenses into a flame, which is already visible to the naked eye!

The hole is flooded.The hole is empty and the fire is calamity.The hole is empty and the earth is robbery.Hollow Peak.Pu Xiangjing!

No heart attacks, not even negotiations.The battle is on the verge of breaking out!

And through the other party's words, Ling Yao has already deduced the other party's identity - Ling Feiyu in front of him is not someone else at all, but Tian Xi, the dean of Shenlong Academy - a clone made of Phoenix wood!

No wonder he always felt that the phoenix aura on Ling Feiyu's body was weird before.It turned out that this body was not a human body at all.

But this is also the worst possible outcome.Because even if Ling Yao can destroy this avatar, Tian Xi has already got the first-hand news.

But now is not the time to think about that.The purpose of Tian Xi's attracting himself was already clear - he wanted to seriously injure himself before the five-year agreement, weaken his own strength, and create a greater chance of winning for Ling Linhan!

What he has to do now is not to think about the other party's other goals, but to save his life!

At the same time, Ling Yao also moved.

Clouds covered the cold moon, and the sound of thunder and lightning roared from near to far, as if it could penetrate the clouds at any time and land on the world.

The sword wires in the air, as fine as smoke and dust, condensed into shape in an instant, and cut towards Ling Feiyu one after another like a blade in the light of the pattern.

However, the aura on Ling Feiyu's body is still rising - the first floor of the raw face, the second layer of the raw face, the third layer of the raw face...

Swish-!

The Chengying sword looks like a ghost, but it is as powerful as a broken bamboo. The sword energy and the spiritual power of thunder and lightning are entangled and come out, directly hitting the scorching phoenix fire!
