"Teacher Lu."
In a very ordinary ice house in the Glacier Valley, Yan Ge respectfully greeted Lv Chenfeng, who was sitting in the middle of the house. Lv Chenfeng slightly nodded his head. His eyes were closed, and he didn't even lift his eyelids. Yan Ge didn't mind and silently stood aside.
When he was still the second prince of Green Mountain, this kind of greeting was something that the servants who served him had to do every day. After he went to the North Style Academy, he didn't have these people around him. But now, in the bitter cold land, the encampment of the Four Paths of Darkness, had become something he had to do every day.
Regarding this kind of routine greeting, Lu Chenfeng didn't like it, and even felt a little disgusted. However, Yan Ge insisted on doing this every day since he arrived at the bitter cold land. He had completely figured out Lu Chenfeng. Lu Chenfeng didn't like to be disturbed by this kind of greeting, but he appreciated this kind of persistent attitude. Sure enough, from the initial disgust to a noncommittal attitude, Lu Chenfeng would occasionally say a few words to Yan Ge at this kind of time. For this expert who wholeheartedly devoted himself to training, this was already quite a rare friendliness.
The ice house was very cold because there was no fire. Lu Chenfeng was still wearing the unlined clothes that he wore when he left the North Style Academy. The torn and bloodstains on it had been repaired and removed by his special ability. He really liked the bitter cold of the bitter cold land, which was like the continuous attack of a perceptive practitioner. He felt that this was a good environment to maintain training, so he deliberately didn't light a fire and deliberately wore unlined clothes.
The cold wind whistled outside the house. Suddenly, some messy and urgent footsteps were heard in the wind. Lu Chenfeng was unmoved, but Yan Ge's mind couldn't help but drift a little.
These days, he had been paying close attention to everything in the Four Paths of Darkness. Everything was so orderly, just like how the Lin family helped Lady Yan manage the Eastern Capital.
This kind of sudden chaos was the first time in the eighty-seven days that Yan Ge had been here. Something must have happened.
This kind of change was what Yan Ge had always wanted to see. Only with this kind of change could he find an opportunity. He didn't intend to be at ease as a chess piece of the Lin family.
But now, it was not convenient for him to move. Every day when he paid his respects to Lv Chenfeng, even if Lv Chenfeng didn't show any reaction, he would still quietly wait on the side for an hour. This was his usual attitude.
So in the end, he didn't move. He didn't even use his ability to try to find out what was going on outside. Compared to these things, in the end, he still felt that maintaining a consistent attitude in front of Lv Chenfeng was the most important.
But not long after, he heard footsteps coming this way and stopped outside the igloo.
"Mr. Lu, Lin Baiying and Lin Tianyi are here to see you." A voice came from outside the door. It was the head of the Lin family and the eldest son.
No one dared to ignore Lu Chenfeng's existence. The Lin Family was also carefully observing and understanding Lu Chenfeng's temperament. On this point, they were very successful. They quickly gave up on the conventional method of pleasing and winning over people. To Lv Chenfeng, they gave him all the conveniences they could. Other than that, the only thing they scrupulously abided by was that they would not disturb him.
Therefore, when they came to disturb him, it undoubtedly meant that there was something very important, and he had to disturb them.
"Come in," Lv Chenfeng replied and opened his eyes at the same time.
The father and son of the Lin family walked into the igloo. Yan Ge and the others who were standing at the side acted as if they didn't see them, and didn't even greet them. The moment they entered the door, they stopped and looked at Lv Chenfeng together. Without any nonsense, they went straight to the point, "Lu Ping is here."
"Oh?" Lv Chenfeng's expression changed. This was what he cared about the most, because Lu Ping had the Six Physical Spirits connected.
"So I have to trouble Mr. Lu to make a trip," Lin Baiying said.
"Where is he?" Lv Chenfeng slowly stood up and asked.
"I don't know for now. I only know that they have chased into Jie River," Lin Baiying said.
"Alright," Lv Chenfeng nodded and walked out of the igloo. Lin Baiying and Lin Tianyi bowed and gave way to the door. After Lv Chenfeng walked out, they looked at Yan Ge together and still maintained their respectful look. They bowed and greeted, "Second Prince."
Yan Ge said that he didn't dare to be called a prince anymore, but the Lin family still didn't change the way they addressed him. This made Yan Ge more and more aware that his identity as a prince was very important to the Lin family. But of course, he wouldn't directly expose this point. He just asked, "Why is Lu Ping here?"
"According to the scouts at the front, the Guannei School should still be gathering at Yanmen Pavilion to plan. Somehow, Lu Ping has already arrived here," Lin Baiying said.
"He is alone?"
"With a few people," Lin Baiying answered.
Yan Ge nodded and didn't ask much. Because he knew that Lin Baiying wouldn't tell him the truly important things. For example, he promised Lv Chenfeng the secret of the Six Physical Spirits connected. He didn't know how the Lin family negotiated with Lv Chenfeng in the end. In short, he didn't see any communication between the two parties after that. Lv Chenfeng also stayed in his house until today.
So … the Lin family put the key on Lu Ping?
They knew that Lu Ping would be hard to deal with, and they also knew what Lv Chenfeng wanted. So they said that Lu Ping was the key to the secret of the Six Physical Spirits connected. So when Lv Chenfeng was asked to deal with Lu Ping, Lv Chenfeng would definitely take the responsibility.
Then what?
Yan Ge didn't believe that the Yan family would just let these two experts that they couldn't control fight. They definitely had a backup plan. No matter if Lu Ping defeated Lv Chenfeng, or if Lv Chenfeng defeated Lu Ping, or if both sides were injured, they definitely had a backup plan. But what was this backup plan? Yan Ge looked at the father and son of the Yan family who were extremely respectful in front of him, but he couldn't see through them. He was originally very familiar with the Lin family. But after coming to the bitter cold land, he started to get to know the number one family of the continent.
"Does the second prince have any other instructions?" Lin Baiying asked.
"No." Yan Ge smiled. The helplessness of the situation didn't make him lose his composure. His willpower and temperament had been harshly tempered during the years he was exiled from the North Style Academy.
"Excuse me." The father and son of the Lin family were about to leave. Yan Ge maintained his smile and followed them, "Let's go together."
The three of them walked out of the ice house. Lv Chenfeng didn't walk too far. He didn't impatiently display any special ability. He only took ordinary steps and walked towards the direction of the south.
Yan Ge didn't bid farewell to the father and son of the Lin family and followed him decisively.
He didn't know the intention of the Lin family's arrangement, but he could only stand on Lv Chenfeng's side. This point was clear. So he might as well follow Lv Chenfeng. This way, no matter what the Lin family's intention was, he would be at the side, watching and waiting for an opportunity to make a move.
As for whether the Lin family would stop him, he didn't consider this point. His meticulous effort to maintain a relationship with Lv Chenfeng wasn't in vain. With a few quick steps, Yan Ge had already arrived behind Lv Chenfeng.
"Teacher Lv, I will go with you." Yan Ge said.
Lv Chenfeng didn't reply and only continued to walk forward.
His tacit agreement was also a kind of attitude. As long as he didn't object, no one would dare to stop Yan Ge.
"Father?" Lin Tianyi looked at Lin Baiying with a questioning look.
"Let Tianbiao go as well." Lin Baiying said.
"Yes." Lin Tianyi nodded.
"Follow me to take a look at the new experimental body." Lin Baiying said as he turned and walked towards the west.
