On the main road leading to the Ling Family Villa, two beautiful women rode their horses towards the Ling Family Villa.
The girl in front was about 20 years old. She was wearing a black outfit that clung tightly to the seductive curves of her figure, outlining an intoxicating beauty. Almost any man would go crazy for her.
Looking up, he saw that this young girl was extremely beautiful. Her snow-white and flawless face was flawless. Her fine black hair hung down to her waist like a willow, and her pair of beautiful eyes were as lively as the stars. Her temperament was noble, and her posture was cool and elegant.
On her waist hung two scarlet short swords in a crisscross pattern. White light flashed on the blades. Obviously, this was not an ordinary battle weapon!
Liu Yuan was a core disciple of the Qingcheng Pavilion, one of the seven major sects of the Tang Empire. She was extremely talented and had already stepped into the second level of the True Spirit Secret Realm at the age of twenty!
She was the hope of the Liu Family in the Imperial City and the brightest star of this generation. Even in a place like the Imperial City where geniuses were everywhere, she was one of the most famous young experts.
As for the woman behind her, although she was also beautiful, she paled in comparison to the black-clothed woman in front of her.
"Senior Sister Liu, do you think we will meet Mo Fengming when we go to the Ling Family Villa?"
The girl in the back seemed to be fantasizing about something as she asked Liu Yuan. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
This girl was called Xin Yueya. She was at the first level of the True Spirit Secret Realm. She was also very strong and was Liu Yuan's junior sister.
"Don't think about Mo Fengming all the time."
Liu Yuan smiled faintly. "He is very busy. How would he have the time to come to the Ling Family Villa? The Gu Meng Kingdom in the north has invaded the Tang Empire again. Nine young experts like him would have been sent by the royal family to kill the enemy. "
"In that case, no one will be able to compete with Senior Sister for the Ling Family Manor's Lunar Fragment this time?"
Xin Yueya's eyes lit up. "Among the young generation, apart from the Nine Young Experts of the Tang Empire, you can be said to be the strongest!"
"That's hard to say."
Liu Yuan shook her head. "There are many talented people in this world. Even I am nothing in the entire Heavenly Mandate Continent. Don't be arrogant."
"Yes, yes."
Xin Yueya pouted and said impatiently. Suddenly, she thought of something and rolled her eyes. "Oh right, Senior Sister, I heard that you have a cousin in the Ice Sect. Her name is Feng Yao?"
"Hmm?"
Liu Yuan's beautiful eyes sparkled.
"I heard that Feng Yao has been slandering you in the Ice Sect!"
Xin Yueya said angrily, "I used to know a disciple of the Frost Sect. I asked him if he knew Senior Sister Liu Yuan. His face was full of astonishment, and he actually said, 'That arrogant and domineering talented girl of the Liu Family?' I'm so angry! "
Domineering and tyrannical. These two words could not be associated with the current Liu Yuan!
It was obvious that someone had maliciously slandered Liu Yuan in the Ice Gate.
Hearing that, Liu Yuan smiled slightly. "That was when I was young. I did bully Feng Yao. But later, I apologized to her several times. It's a pity that this girl doesn't appreciate it. "
"Senior Sister, she slandered you like that, yet you're apologizing to her? You're such a good person! "
Xin Yueya didn't understand.
"After all, I was the one who bullied her when we were young. It's not a big deal to apologize."
Liu Yuan smiled indifferently. "But this girl has always set me as her goal. She wants to surpass me."
"Pfft. Surpass me? In your dreams."
Xin Yueya giggled. "Oh right, Senior Sister, why didn't you go when Major General Long invited you to admire the flowers? It's obvious that he wants to pursue you! "
"I'm not the only one he invited."
Liu Yuan frowned, seeming to dislike this "Major General Long." "I don't like him."
"Oh."
Xin Yueya stuck out her tongue. She thought, "Senior Sister Liu Yuan is really different. She's extraordinary."
Major General Long was the legitimate son of the Long Family of the generals of Tang. If she could win his favor, she would have a meteoric rise in the future. Even the entire Liu Family would rise!
There were definitely tens of thousands of girls in the Imperial City who wanted to hook up with Major General Long!
"I didn't expect that Senior Sister Liu Yuan would look down on Major General Long and say that she doesn't like him. I wonder what kind of man would be able to enter senior sister Liu Yuan's eyes? "
Xin Yueya pondered as she followed Liu Yuan on her horse.
The mineral vein of the Ling Family Mountain Villa soon appeared in front of them.
It was an endless mountain range. However, this mountain range was filled with a gloomy aura. Not even trees could grow in it.
The entire mountain range was covered with greyish-white rocks. There wasn't even a speck of green to be seen!
The Ling Family Mountain Villa was located in the center of this ring-shaped mountain range. It managed the entire mountain range for the Tang Imperial Family and produced all kinds of Yin Attribute ores.
These ores and metals could be used to forge Combat Weapons. Most importantly, they were used by the Imperial Family to forge Combat Spears and distributed to the soldiers of the Martial Cultivation Army.
The Ling Family Mountain Villa was such a remote place. It was filled with Yin Qi!
…
Long Yu rode his horse alone and finally arrived at the Ling Family Manor on the third day after he set off.
After entering the ring-shaped mountain range, Long Yu could clearly feel a wave of Yin Qi assaulting him. If an ordinary person were to live in such a place for a long time, their lifespan would be reduced by a lot!
"Luckily, the Nine Underworlds Qi can counteract this Yin Qi and prevent it from affecting my body …"
Long Yu thought as he advanced.
At the foot of the mountain, a series of buildings appeared in front of him. This was the Ling Family Mountain Villa. Although it was called a mountain villa, it was actually the size of a city.
The miners of the Tang Empire all lived in this mountain villa and were under the jurisdiction of the Ling Family.
"It's even bigger than Jade Gate City!"
Long Yu rode into the building. With a casual glance, he saw many miners loading Yin Attribute ores and metals onto carriages. Carriage after carriage of ores was sent out of the mountain villa and escorted to the Imperial City.
These miners had all been corroded by the Yin Qi. Although it didn't affect them normally, it could definitely shorten their lifespan by ten or even twenty years!
"I didn't expect there to be such a place in the Tang Empire."
Long Yu frowned as he rode towards the center of the building.
In the letter that Ling Han had sent him, he said that he would wait for him at the Ling Family Mansion and that he should head there directly.
Along the way, Long Yu saw many Martial Cultivators of the Tang Empire patrolling and supervising the Ling Family Mountain Villa. These Martial Cultivators not only supervised the miners but also the actions of the Ling Family.
This was the power of the Tang Empire's Royal Family. In the Tang Empire, the Royal Family had always been the ruler!
"I wonder how Ling Han is doing."
Long Yu quickly rode his horse to the Ling Family Mansion in the center of the mountain villa and dismounted.
He looked up and saw that the Ling Family Mansion was bigger than the Feng Family Mansion in Jade Gate City. The walls of the entire building were very thick, probably to prevent the Yin Qi from entering.
At the entrance of the Ling Clan Residence, there were two Martial Cultivators chatting idly. When they saw Long Yu dismounting his horse, they looked over at him.
"Ninth Rank of the Martial Path!"
When the two of them saw Long Yu's cultivation, their originally relaxed expressions immediately changed and they quickly rushed forward to greet him.
"Young Master, are you looking for someone in the Ling Family Mansion?"
One of them asked nervously.
The two of them were the gatekeepers of the Ling Family Mansion and were at the fourth and fifth rank of the Martial Path. How could they not be nervous when they saw a Ninth Rank Martial Path expert?
"Is Ling Han here?"
Long Yu asked casually.
"Ling Han?"
The two of them looked at each other and saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes.
"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master, please come in. I will bring you to Ling Han."
One of them said cautiously and then made an inviting gesture.
Long Yu nodded and followed him into the Ling Family Mansion.
"How is Ling Han doing in the Ling Family?"
Long Yu thought for a moment, then intentionally asked this question. This was because he could see that when he said the name "Ling Han", the expressions of the two gatekeeping Martial Cultivators seemed to be a bit strange.
"Oh, he is the son of the previous Patriarch of the Ling Family. However, the previous Patriarch passed away more than ten years ago."
The man led the way and asked cautiously, "Young Master, your relationship with Ling Han …"
Obviously, he didn't know Long Yu's identity and didn't dare to speak carelessly.
"I am a good friend of Ling Han."
Long Yu said.
"I see."
The man heaved a sigh of relief and his tone became more natural. "Young Master Ling Han hasn't had a good time in the Ling Family these years. After the death of the previous Patriarch, the new Patriarch deliberately suppressed him and his sister. He had no choice but to leave the Ling Family Mansion and bring his sister to join the Zhentian Clan!"
Sister?
Long Yu heard this and felt strange. He didn't know that Ling Han had a sister.
"Not long ago, Young Master Ling Han returned to the Ling Family Mansion. However, he can only stay with his sister in the side courtyard. I will bring you to him now."
The man said, "It is strange that you are the third person to come to find Young Master Ling Han today."
The third?
Long Yu didn't say anything. He was thinking, could it be Yang Tiancuo and Duanmu Conglong?
Very quickly, Long Yu followed the man to a secluded side courtyard of the Ling Family Mansion!
This side courtyard was located in the corner of the Ling Family Mansion. Logically, it should be a place for servants to stay. However, Ling Han could only stay in this secluded side courtyard with his sister!
Long Yu looked at the environment of this side courtyard and knew that Ling Han wasn't living well in the Ling Family Mansion.
Even so, Ling Han still insisted on cultivating the Noble Taibai Qi in an attempt to disperse the Yin Qi in the Ling Family Mansion. It was clear that he still valued the Ling Family Mansion.
"Young Master, please come in. Young Master Ling Han is inside. This little one will take his leave first! "
The man came to the door of the side courtyard and left after finishing his sentence.
Long Yu stepped into the side courtyard and looked towards the hall in the side courtyard. Sure enough, there were already many people seated in the hall. Although the environment was simple and crude, everyone seemed to be in harmony!
"Ling Han, Lu Guanming."
Long Yu saw two familiar faces, a young man and a young girl. However, Yang Tiancuo and Duanmu Conglong were not there.
