"Bam!"
After downing three glasses of wine, Ling Lie slammed the glass heavily on the table. His face was red as he said generously, "Mr. Zhou, since you've generously given the Ling Family a spot on the Heavenly Team, I, Ling Lie, will now declare that I, Ling Lie, am willing to join the Heavenly Team!"
"Slow down, slow down …"
Zhou Wenyi could not help but smile wryly. He gently put down his wine cup, waved his hand, and said, "Elder Ling, I didn't expect your fiery and impatient personality to not change at all …"
Ling Yun looked at Ling Lie and thought to himself, Old man, I'm asking for resources from this big shot of the Heavenly Team. Aren't you just causing trouble?
Ling Yun really didn't expect Ling Lie to value the Huaxia Team so much.
Ling Lie didn't expect Zhou Wenyi to tactfully reject his sincere words. He was a little surprised, so he turned to Ling Yun and asked, "Yun Er, Grandpa wants to take up a spot. Do you think that's okay?"
This time, it was Ling Yun's turn to smile bitterly. "Grandpa, you're already so old. Why are you fighting with us youngsters?"
Ling Lie was stunned. He immediately realized that Ling Yun was implying something.
Only then did he raise his head to look at Zhou Wenyi. He discovered that Zhou Wenyi also had an unperturbed expression on his face. He actually poured himself a cup of wine and began to drink.
Ling Lie had no choice but to glare at Ling Yun. "Hmph! I'm an old steed with great ambition! I'm willing to serve the country. Why can't I? "
Ling Yun chuckled. "Grandpa, it's not a problem if you want to serve the country. However, joining the Heavenly Team isn't something you can do just because you want to. We have to discuss it carefully."
As he spoke, Ling Yun shot a look at Ling Lie before turning to look at Zhou Wenyi. "Senior, I appreciate your kind intentions on behalf of the Ling Family. Thank you for your care, Senior." Zhou Wenyi nodded.
Ling Yun had thanked Zhou Wenyi once before, but both parties knew that it was just a formality. This time, however, Ling Yun expressed his gratitude sincerely.
Zhou Wenyi nodded slightly and smiled without saying a word.
The current Ling Yun was no longer the newbie who had just arrived in Beijing. He had spent five days alone with Ye Xingchen. During these five days, Ling Yun had learned too many secrets about Huaxia through Ye Xingchen. Naturally, the Heavenly Team was a very important part of it.
The current Hua Xia was prosperous and the four seas were at peace. There were very few times when the Heaven Squad would need to send out a large number of missions. In other words, the members of the Heaven Squad were basically all working for nothing.
On the surface, Zhou Wenyi had found a reason to force Ling Yun to join the Heavenly Team, but in reality, he had given Ling Yun six slots with a wave of his hand. In fact, he had given Ling Yun six privileges and six portions of cultivation resources!
Ever since he came to Beijing, other than setting up this Spirit Gathering Formation and activating the Ling Family's inheritance, the Ghost Divine Willow, he hadn't obtained any other cultivation resources!
Of course, yesterday's trip to the Forbidden City and today's trip to the Great Wall to step on the Dragon Vein to search for the Qi Eye had given him a lot of benefits. However, those benefits belonged to him alone. Even if Ling Yun wanted to share them with the rest of the Ling Family, he couldn't.
Everyone in the Ling Family was cultivating with all their might. The Ling Family's death warriors were also frantically raising their realms. There were also the seventy-two disciples of the Immortal Physician Sect in the Ling Family's martial arts school. What did they lack the most?
It was cultivation resources!
Medicinal herbs, spiritual energy, elixirs … All sorts of resources, the more the better!
How could Ling Yun reject such a huge benefit that could be obtained just by nodding his head?!
Therefore, he would definitely join the Heavenly Team without hesitation.
Ling Yun understood this, and Zhou Wenyi naturally understood it even more. It was just that both parties didn't say it out loud. It was all in their words.
After a while, Zhou Wenyi finally spoke again. He was very serious. "Ling Yun, the Heavenly Team doesn't care about worldly affairs. As long as it doesn't affect the stability of the country, we don't care about personal grudges or vendettas. Even when it comes to internal strife, we usually turn a blind eye.
"However, once you join the Heavenly Team, just like what your grandfather said, you must serve the country. Once the country gives the order, you must put down everything and fight for the country!"
With that, Zhou Wenyi looked at Ling Yun solemnly. "I'm not joking. Do you understand?"
Ling Yun nodded seriously. "I understand."
Zhou Wenyi finally smiled. "Then I didn't come here for nothing. The Heavenly Team lost six people, so I asked for six more. I can finally account for myself when I get back."
"Drink, drink!"
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Zhou Wenyi stood up to bid farewell at 1: 30 pm.
Ling Lie and Ling Yun naturally stood up to send him off.
"Elder Ling, please wait. I've already said what I wanted to say, and I'm full now. Next, I would like Ling Yun to accompany me around your house and send me out. What do you think? "
Zhou Wenyi didn't intend to let Ling Lie send him off.
Ling Lie drank to his heart's content. His face was glowing. "Then I won't send you off. Mr. Zhou, please come visit the Ling Family more often when you're free."
"I'll definitely bother you in the future."
Zhou Wenyi agreed with a smile, then took his leave and walked out of the courtyard.
With Ling Yun accompanying him, the two of them quickly walked out of the ninth courtyard of the Ling Family and arrived at the eighth courtyard.
Zhou Wenyi came to the courtyard and suddenly stopped. He asked Ling Yun telepathically, "Ling Yun, if I'm not wrong, is there another person in your dungeon other than Di Yutang?"
Ling Yun brought a total of five prisoners to Beijing this time: three from the Chen Family, Chen Jianwei, Chen Sen, and Hei San; the Devil Sect's Tian Holy Son, Sikong Wuji; and Venerable Lie of Mount Longhu.
Later on, Ling Yun rescued his father and captured Sikong Tu and Sikong Wuhen alive.
At the end of August, the Ling Family and Sun Chen formed an alliance to fight to the death. Then, Ling Yun captured Di Yutang alive and locked him up in the Ling Family's dungeon.
Now, everyone else in the dungeon had been killed by Ling Yun. Only Venerable Lie of Mount Longhu and Di Yutang of the Heavenly Sword Sect were left.
Ling Yun didn't hide anything. He replied telepathically, "That's right, the other one is Venerable Lie of Mount Longhu."
Zhou Wenyi smiled wryly when he heard that. He pinched the space between his eyebrows and said helplessly, "Kid, the grudge between you and Dragon Tiger Mountain isn't small either.
Ling Yun asked casually, "Oh? It seems like you know about my experience in Qingshui City? "
Zhou Wenyi nodded. "Yes, I know about everything that's out in the open."
Zhou Wenyi was the Great Elder of the Heavenly Team. It would be a joke if he didn't know about something as big as the battle at Dragon Gate Mountain.
Ling Yun agreed to join the Heavenly Team. Now that both parties were basically honest, he said lightly, "Mount Longhu bullied my family. I have to teach them a lesson."
Zhou Wenyi scanned Ling Yun from head to toe. "Who asked you to have so many treasures on you? Who in the pugilistic world wouldn't be jealous? "
Ling Yun could tell that Zhou Wenyi was implying something, but he avoided the topic. "I don't think Senior is jealous."
This flattery made Zhou Wenyi feel awkward. "I'm jealous too. But if that's the case, I'll have to be your enemy. This decision isn't easy to make."
Ling Yun smiled. "Senior, you must be joking."
Zhou Wenyi changed the topic. "Mount Longhu's Celestial Master Residence has a deep foundation. You just need to teach them a lesson. It's best not to blow things up. If you really provoke them, one or two fierce people will be enough to make you suffer. "
Ling Yun was grateful and said lightly, "Thank you for your advice, Senior. I know what I'm doing, but it still depends on what Mount Longhu wants to do."
Zhou Wenyi had long understood Ling Yun's strong character. He was someone who wouldn't be swayed by force or persuasion, so he stopped when it was appropriate.
He pointed in the direction of the Ling family's dungeon and asked telepathically, "Those bats, can you guarantee that they won't cause trouble in Huaxia?"
Zhou Wenyi was obviously asking about Ling Yun's Blood Clan servants.
Ling Yun answered directly, "I can guarantee it."
"Good."
Zhou Wenyi only said 'okay' and immediately strode forward.
In the sixth courtyard, Zhou Wenyi actually turned from guest to host. He took the lead and brought Ling Yun to the place where the Divine Ghost Willow was planted.
The Golden Striped Crow wasn't on the tree. It was unknown where it had gone.
"This willow tree …"
Zhou Wenyi stared at the Divine Ghost Willow. His expression was serious, and his eyes didn't blink.
Ling Yun remained calm. "What are you trying to say, Senior?"
Zhou Wenyi knew he had lost his composure. He smiled and shook his head. Then, he turned to Ling Yun and said lightly, "Congratulations."
"Many thanks."
The two of them started to argue. As for what Zhou Wenyi was congratulating and what Ling Yun was thanking, they both knew very well but didn't say anything.
However, Zhou Wenyi couldn't help but sigh in the end. "The Spiritual Qi here is so strong, especially the Wood Spiritual Qi. The Ling family is really … "
Ling Yun smiled and didn't say anything. He actually ignored Zhou Wenyi and walked toward the front yard.
Ling Yun had already made his stance clear. Although Zhou Wenyi was reluctant, he couldn't stay any longer. He immediately followed Ling Yun.
"When you officially join the Heavenly Squad, I will tell you a great secret from forty years ago," Zhou Wenyi said telepathically.
Ling Yun turned and asked, "Can't you tell me now?"
"I really can't."
"Then this junior will wait."
When they reached the fifth courtyard, Zhou Wenyi stopped again. He looked at the courtyard full of medicinal herbs and felt the various Spiritual Qi erupting in the courtyard. He couldn't hide the shock on his face at all.
Of course, Zhou Wenyi knew that this was a huge amount of wealth and resources for cultivators.
"You planted them?"
Ling Yun smiled. "Senior, if you need anything, just say the word and this junior will give it to you."
"Hehe, there's no need for that."
Zhou Wenyi was the housekeeper of the Heaven Squad. Although he was shocked by the medicinal herbs in the courtyard, he didn't think too much of it.
After passing through the fifth courtyard, the two of them didn't stay any longer. Soon, they arrived at the Ling Family's secluded side door.
"Ling Yun, do you know why I'm here?"
Zhou Wenyi stopped in the dim passageway and asked with a smile.
"I can roughly guess. I think it should be pressure from the Long Family?"
"You're really too smart, then I won't say much. It's good that you know what you're doing."
"This junior thanks Senior again."
Zhou Wenyi gave Ling Yun one last look before patting him on the shoulder. "I'll try my best to help you with the Heavenly Team. That's all I can do for you this time. The rest is up to you."
Ling Yun smiled and nodded. "There's something I have to tell Senior in advance. If anyone from the Heavenly Squad really comes to find trouble with me, I will still beat them up until their parents can't recognize them."
Zhou Wenyi laughed bitterly. "You little brat … you really make people feel helpless!"
"Let's go!"
With that, Zhou Wenyi was about to leave.
"Senior, please wait."
"What is it?" Zhou Wenyi turned back in surprise.
Ling Yun clenched his fist and stuffed the item in his hand into Zhou Wenyi's hand. "How could I let Senior come all the way here for nothing? This is just a small gift. Please accept it."
Zhou Wenyi opened his palm and saw that it was a platinum ring. Finally, he was shocked. Then, he thought of something and asked in ecstasy, "This is?"
Ling Yun chuckled. "Senior, you'll know how to use it after you go back and bind it with your blood."
"Good lad! You're really something! "
Zhou Wenyi was extremely excited. He clutched the platinum ring tightly and punched Ling Yun's chest a few times. Somewhat incoherently, he said, "The Ling Family is willing to serve the country, but there are many things waiting to be done. I have decided that from now on, the six members of the Ling Family's Heavenly Squad will each receive double the resources!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Wenyi's figure had already disappeared. (To be continued.)
