When Xiao Bing returned to the room arranged by Bai Zhi, the two people who had been waiting for him were already there. Everyone in the room except Bai Zhi was there.
As soon as Xiao Bing entered, he saw two strangers whom he had never seen before and immediately recognized their specific identities.
The white-haired old man seemed to be in his fifties or sixties. But Xiao Bing knew that this was only because the old man's powerful realm had slowed down the aging process. This old man's strength was similar to Xiao Bing's, they were both in the realm of the Heart of the Divine God. So at a glance, Xiao Bing could tell that this was Leng Ying, the patriarch of the Leng family who had just celebrated his 70th birthday in the Divine Realm.
The other old man was also 70 years old, but he looked a little older than Leng Ying. But compared to ordinary people, he looked like he was in his sixties. He was not strong or weak, probably at the early stage of Void-breaking. His eyes looked calm, and Xiao Bing could tell that he was a man with a good mentality. Xiao Bing immediately guessed that he must be Yang Heng, one of the three intelligence directors working for Uncle Ear.
When they saw Xiao Bing coming in, they all stood up. Leng Ying looked Xiao Bing up and down. There was no disrespect or fear in his eyes. There was only the appreciation of an elder for a younger generation.
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Senior Leng, are you satisfied with me?"
Leng Ying asked, "You know who I am?"
"Uncle Ear has said before that the Leng family was the second family in the Divine Realm, second only to the Xiao family. Even now … the Leng family's foundation is definitely in the top five or even top three in the Divine Realm."
Leng Ying nodded and asked, "Then do you know more?"
Xiao Bing said, "Uncle Ear did not say much."
"Good." Leng Ying said, "Back then, I firmly supported your father Xiao Potian. With his absolute talent, if he was still alive, he might even reach the level of the Divine God Realm and create a miracle that has never been seen since ancient times. Unfortunately, I wholeheartedly wanted to support your father. Even the entire Divine Race thought that one day your father might have a chance to break this damn enchantment. Unfortunately, your Xiao family … Alas, all these years, your uncle has been carefully guarding against the Leng family, and even suppressing us. "
Xiao Bing understood something. He smiled and said, "Senior, in fact, if you want to choose a side, you must accept the consequences. Maybe the consequences will make the whole family soar, or maybe the whole family will fall into the dust. Since you supported my father back then, you should bear the consequences. There is nothing to complain about."
Although Xiao Bing's voice was gentle, his tone was a little aggressive, like a soft nail. On the surface, no one could find any fault with his words, but in fact, every word was piercing. The expressions of everyone in the room changed. Only Ear remained calm and ignored everything.
Liu Zhi secretly poked Ear and whispered, "Although Leng Ying used to follow His Majesty, His Majesty was after all a peerless talent in the Divine Realm. Now that His Majesty has passed away for so many years, and we are at a disadvantage, we need his help. Seeing how aggressive the young master is, won't he be angered …"
Liu Zhi's voice was so soft that no one could hear it. Only Ear could see the movement of his lips.
Ear shook his head slightly, but his face was still very calm. He was not worried about whether Xiao Bing would anger the young master.
The others looked at each other and began to worry for Xiao Bing, especially those who did not know Xiao Bing's character. They originally only supported Xiao Bing because of their loyalty, but now they were doubting whether Xiao Bing could do what they hoped for. After all, there was little hope for them to unite against the Divine King. If this young master was still an arrogant and egotistical man, then they would almost be accompanying him to death. Would there still be any meaning in following such a young master?
As expected, Leng Ying's expression turned cold. He suddenly stood up and said, "You mean, our Leng Clan deserves everything? Since that's the case, what else do we have to talk about? General Gu, I think you've wasted your efforts. I'll pretend that I don't know what you're doing here, but what happens next has nothing to do with me. "
Seeing that Leng Ying was about to leave, Xiao Bing suddenly smiled and said, "Uncle Leng, are you going to leave after hearing what I just said? Are you really not thinking about the Leng Clan at all? "
Leng Ying's face darkened. He asked, "What do you mean by that? Just because I am thinking about the Leng Clan, I have to support you? I don't think so. If I really want to, I can go out and report you all right now. I think if that is the case, the relationship between the Leng Clan and the Divine King will probably improve, and we will become the number one clan in the Divine Realm. Do you believe me? "
Xiao Bing smiled, "I believe you, but I don't think you will do that."
Leng Ying sneered, "Oh? What gives you such confidence? "
"If you really do that, although Xiao Duantian won't trouble the Leng Clan for the time being, the other clans in the God Clan have all seen it. The entire God Clan knows that the Leng Clan has always been loyal to my father. Now that you've betrayed my father and helped Xiao Duantian to kill me, I'm afraid the Leng Clan's reputation will be ruined. Do you think that Xiao Duantian will trust you in the future? Do you think that the other forces will trust the Leng Clan? "
Leng Ying stared at Xiao Bing, his pupils slightly contracted.
Xiao Bing also stood up and stared at Leng Ying without flinching. He said, "For Senior Leng, this is actually a gamble. If you bet on Xiao Duantian, even if he wins, his gratitude towards you will be extremely limited, and others will talk about you. If you bet on me, although the stakes are indeed a little too high, once you win, you will win everything. Not only will you win the respect of the outside world, but the Leng family will also be able to rise to glory again!"
"And Senior Leng, don't think about staying neutral. Being neutral is the safest way. But you are still here, and the Leng Clan is still here. But what if one day you are gone? Xiao Duantian will not dare to do anything to you now, but I think Senior Leng knows that one day, they will not let the Leng Clan go. They are just waiting for the right time, waiting for the right time. "
Everyone looked at Xiao Bing in surprise. As an outsider, they did not analyze the situation as thoroughly as Xiao Bing did. They could not help but be shocked by Xiao Bing's meticulousness. At this moment, they suddenly realized that Xiao Bing was not just an arrogant person. At least when it came to analyzing a problem, Xiao Bing did have his own unique points. He could see through many things very clearly.
Leng Ying stood there without moving. He looked at Xiao Bing and asked, "So, you are threatening me?"
"No, I am just analyzing the situation for Uncle Leng." After Xiao Bing said this, he suddenly bowed deeply to Leng Ying in a serious manner. He bowed all the way to the ground, showing extreme humility and sincerity. Such a behavior was a huge contrast from before, causing the surrounding people to be a little dazed.
Leng Ying's eyes also revealed a bit of a strange look. Obviously, he was not as calm as he was before. After Xiao Bing bowed, he said with incomparable sincerity, "This is my apology for my disrespectful attitude towards Uncle Leng. Uncle Leng has been suppressed by Xiao Duantian all these years because he supported my father back then. This is what my father did to Uncle Leng. I, Xiao Bing, will remember all of this. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay my father for mistreating you."
Leng Ying said, "What are you doing?"
Xiao Bing said, "The reason why this junior angered you just now is because I hope that you can forget some of the past, cut off all means of retreat and sink the boat with this junior. Because this is not only the best choice for this junior, it is also the best choice for you, senior. This junior also wants to prove that I, Xiao Bing, am not my father Xiao Duantian. My father made a mistake back then, and this junior will not make the same mistake again. I will definitely make up for the grievances that I have caused the Leng family. "
Leng Ying looked straight at Xiao Bing, the coldness on his face gradually disappeared. Then he laughed and said, "Good, good. Xiao Duantian's son is indeed not ordinary. Although your father lost to Xiao Duantian, Xiao Duantian's son is not as good as you!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, began to admire Xiao Bing from the bottom of their hearts. In the beginning, they thought that Xiao Bing was a spoiled child who did not respect his elders. The biggest problem was that even when he was in a weak position, he still treated an elder with such arrogance. But now, they could not help but be convinced by Xiao Bing's means.
Hearing Leng Ying's praise, Xiao Bing smiled and said, "Uncle Leng, I really did offend you. Please sit."
Leng Ying nodded and sat directly in his original seat. He said, "At first, I was really worried that you and Xiao Potian would be like father and dog son. Now it seems that like father, like son, like father, like son, I can rest assured."
Xiao Bing smiled and said, "If not for wanting to prove this point, this junior would not have put on such a show just now. I almost offended you, senior!"
Leng Ying was stunned for a moment, then everyone burst into laughter. Six Fingers gave Ear a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Brother Gu, brother Gu, you really know the young master better. You really scared me just now."
Ear gave Six Fingers a look of disdain, then everyone could not help but laugh again.
