"Haha, arrogance leads to loss while modesty benefits. I understand this logic."
Ding Shan sipped his tea and smiled. "There are many people who surpass me in this world. I don't have anything to be proud of."
Cangwu Qiong also picked up his teacup and blew on the steam, which emitted a thick fragrance. Only then did he take a sip. "It's important to know one's own limits. Unfortunately, there aren't many people like that."
Ding Shan smiled bitterly. "Those who know their limits can at most live a little longer. Only those with absolute strength can stand tall. I wanted to stay out of this, but the fat and thin monks said that Ling Baiyi wants to take the heads of the seven chiefs. It's really an unexpected disaster. I can't avoid it even if I want to. "
Cangwu Qiong smiled. "Didn't you also agree to deal with Ling Baiyi back then?"
Ding Shan said, "That was to cover up the pill refinement so that Myriad Treasure Tower could fully prepare for the battle without worrying about me. Otherwise, with my personality, why would I do such a rash thing?"
Cangwu Qiong nodded. "This is indeed a good opportunity. Otherwise, why would Wan Qianyi keep a close eye on 18 Emperor Jiuxing Pill Refinement? But now, there's no turning back. We can only take it one step at a time. "
Ding Shan asked, "Do you think we can beat Ling Baiyi?"
Cangwu Qiong said, "Not us, but you. If we work together, we can naturally do it. Wan Qianyi is very powerful, and he's not alone. Not to mention, I can't even see through you, Ding Shan. "
Ding Shan laughed. "Lord Cangwu Qiong must be joking. I'm just a merchant without any backing. I've walked carefully until now. Coupled with Lord's support and good opportunities, I managed to cross the threshold of the martial path. Even so, I'm just an ant in front of a truly powerful figure like Lord. "
Cangwu Qiong's eyes flashed as he stared at Ding Shan. "It's precisely because you don't have any backing that you reached this step by hiding your strength and biding your time. If there's anyone in the merchant alliance that can make me wary, it's only you and Wan Qianyi. "
Ding Shan was surprised. "Wan Qianyi is actually so powerful that he can make Lord Cangwu Qiong wary?"
Cangwu Qiong smiled and said, "Wan Qianqian's background is quite impressive. You'll find out if you have the chance in the future."
Ding Shan said, "Fine, since Daren is unwilling to say, then there must be something hidden. I'm just thinking about how to survive this crisis. "
Cangwu Qiong smiled and said, "With your abilities, even if you can't defeat them, you should be able to protect yourself. As for the fat and skinny monks, Ao Changkong was probably here to watch the show. After all, Wan Qianyi's declaration to encircle and annihilate Ling Baiyi is a major event that will shake the world. Who wouldn't want to come and take a look? "
Ding Shan sighed, "We can only take it one step at a time. It's a pity that Ding Ling 'er was the perfect chess piece to control Li Yunxiao, but she's completely lost her usefulness after Wan Qianyi's antics. "
Cangwu Qiong's expression turned serious for the first time. He said, "Don't touch Li Yunxiao for now. He has the Mandate of Heaven and is very strange. It'll be very difficult to kill him."
Ding Shan's heart skipped a beat. He said, "Judging by the look on your face, do you have an idea as well?"
Cangwu Qiong looked up at Ding Shan. The serious expression on his face immediately disappeared, and a calm smile appeared on his face. He said, "Ding Shan, you're trying to get information out of me."
Ding Shan smiled and said, "Since you're not saying anything, I'll take it as an admission."
Cangwu Qiong said, "It's better for you to know less about some things. You don't have to worry too much about Ling Baiyi. Wan Qianqian is very resourceful. Even if he can't defeat them, he will be able to protect himself. "
Ding Shan cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Cangwu."
Cangwu Qiong nodded slightly and said no more. He picked up his book and continued reading.
Outside the Tianyi Pavilion, Li Yunxiao and Su Lianyi waited quietly with Old Lai.
A moment later, Tianjue came with Ding Ling 'er.
Ding Ling 'er's face was still full of confusion. She did not know what had happened. She only calmed down when she saw Li Yunxiao.
"Big Brother Yunxiao, Old Lai, what's going on?"
Ding Ling 'er immediately returned to Li Yunxiao's side. She felt nervous when she saw the hostility between the two groups.
Li Yunxiao sighed. He caressed her forehead lovingly and said, "Fate is always unpredictable. Ling 'er, you have to be mentally prepared."
Ding Ling 'er's heart skipped a beat. She said, "Did Big Brother Yunxiao and my father have a falling out? It's okay. I'm here to help. Any problem can be solved. "
Li Yunxiao's heart ached. He did not know what to say.
Ding Ling 'er turned around and grabbed Old Lai. She asked anxiously, "Old Lai, what's going on?"
Old Lai heaved a long sigh. He cupped his fists and said, "Take care of yourself, Young Mistress." He turned around and left with Tianjue. Ding Ling 'er was left in a daze, her mind a mess.
"What's going on?"
Su Lianyi also sighed. She held Ding Ling 'er's hand and said, "Ding Shan is not your biological father. Your brother, Ding Peng, was killed by Ding Shan."
Ding Ling 'er's body trembled. Her brain almost short-circuited. She could barely stand straight. "Wh-what? What did you just say?"
Li Yunxiao glared at Su Lianyi. His face was gloomy. No matter who it was, they would not be able to accept such a thing.
He lovingly held Ding Ling 'er in his arms. He said softly, "Su Lianyi is telling the truth."
His chest was soaked with tears. Ding Ling 'er's cries came from his arms. She was sobbing uncontrollably.
Li Yunxiao stood still. He did not say anything to comfort her. He only kept caressing her hair, letting her feel his presence. Because at this moment, any words would be useless. Only the passage of time could gradually wash away the pain.
Gradually, the moon rose to the top of the city wall. Ding Ling 'er's cries were already hoarse and almost inaudible. Then, she finally fell asleep.
Su Lianyi said softly, "Lord Yunxiao, I'll take care of Miss Ling 'er. Wan Qian will send someone to ask you to come over earlier. "
Li Yunxiao waved his hand. He carried Ding Ling 'er and said, "It's fine. I'll take care of her. You can go now."
Su Lianyi sighed. She did not want to disturb him anymore. She turned around and left.
A light flashed between Li Yunxiao's brows. He carried Ding Ling 'er and stepped into the World Deity's Monument. He came to the place where Narcissus was cultivating. He said, "Narcissus, I'll leave Ling' er to you for now. I've added a seal on her body. It can reduce her pain. She should sleep for a long time. "
Previously, Li Yunxiao had communicated with Narcissus. She was the only woman in the entire World Deity's Monument. She was the most suitable person to take care of Ding Ling 'er.
Narcissus's tears flowed down. She said softly, "Sister Ling 'er is so pitiful."
Li Yunxiao said, "Everyone has different opportunities. Everyone has their own destiny. This is a calamity that she is destined to face. She has to bear it herself."
Narcissus covered Ding Ling 'er with a blanket. She said, "I'll take good care of Sister Ling' er. Brother Yunxiao, don't worry."
Li Yunxiao nodded. He looked at Ding Ling 'er's tear-stained face. She was as thin as a yellow flower. He could not help but feel sad. He disappeared into the World Deity's Monument in a flash.
He looked at the sky alone. He pondered for a while. Then, he turned into a bolt of lightning and went to the Treasure Tower.
Suddenly, the sky pressed down layer by layer. It was as if it was collapsing. Countless storms were stirred up and swallowed the bolt of lightning.
Li Yunxiao's expression changed. A sword aura shot out from his fingertip and split the storm. The terrifying power was split into two. He leaped and appeared a hundred feet away.
The terrifying power of the tornado was still spreading in the sky. He could not see anything.
Li Yunxiao's pupils contracted. With his Wondrous Spell Spirit Eyes, he immediately saw where the enemy was. Then, he stabbed with his cold sword.
The sword aura was like a rainbow. It split the sky!
"Psst!"
All the storms were annihilated by this sword, and a figure flashed out of the void, changing his movement technique to escape.
Li Yunxiao laughed coldly and said, "So, it's you. Stay here!"
His body flashed. He appeared in front of that person and blocked his way.
That person was greatly shocked. He suddenly stopped and said with an embarrassed smile, "As expected, it's Gu Feiyang. Impressive, impressive." The smiling face was actually Fat Toutuo.
Li Yunxiao pointed his sword at him. His killing intent surged. He said in a cold voice, "There's something even more impressive. Then have a taste of your head!"
Fat Toutuo felt the edge of the sword and hurriedly retreated in fear. He said while trembling, "Gu Feiyang, don't mess around. I was just joking with you."
Li Yunxiao said coldly, "A joke can easily kill someone."
Fat Toutuo hurriedly said, "I know. I won't dare to do it again in the future."
Li Yunxiao frowned slightly and said, "Looks like you're not stupid? You still know how to be afraid of death? "
"Hehe." Fat Toutuo giggled. That appearance was harmless to humans and animals.
The space beside him turned slightly. Thin Toutuo also appeared. He said, "Gu Feiyang, sorry. I didn't look after him well and let him escape. I'll bring him back right now. "
The two of them turned into flying lights and were about to leave when a bone-penetrating chill attacked them. Their bodies trembled and they transformed into their real bodies again.
Sword aura filled the sky. A sea of swords rippled in the vast sky.
"You can leave just because you're sorry? Then I'll chop off your dog heads first. Then I'll apologize to the two of you. "Li Yunxiao said coldly.
Fat and Thin Toutuo looked at him with his sword in hand. Their faces turned pale. They hastily said, "Don't mess around! Don't mess around!"
Thin Toutuo anxiously said, "It's just a joke. Can't you take a joke? You're really narrow-minded. "
Li Yunxiao said, "That's right. I'm narrow-minded. I'll take revenge for the smallest grievance. Whoever dares to touch a strand of my hair, I'll chop off one of his legs. "
The cold light on the sword shone down. It swayed between the two men's legs. The two of them were so scared that they trembled. They immediately covered their third leg with cold sweat.
Fat Toutuo trembled and said, "You, you, what do you want before you're willing to let it go?"
Li Yunxiao said, "First tell me whether Ao Changkong is here or not. Next, tell me your intention in making a move against me!"
