Chapter 2144 Ling Tian’s Suspicion
Old Sun turned his head away embarrassedly, "I got married early..."
How much earlier can you get?
Even if you get married and have children at the age of fourteen, and your son also gets married and has children at the age of fourteen, then by the time you are thirty, you will only have grandchildren.
Was this child dug out of the ground?
Qi Xinghuai realized belatedly that something was wrong and chased after Old Sun to ask what was going on.
Old Sun was very stubborn and refused to say anything.
But now he is more powerful than Qi Xinghuai, and in the end he still couldn't get the answer.
On the way back, Qi Xinghuai was still complaining, "There must be something wrong with Old Sun. He has a grandson this big at the age of 30 - damn, do you think this is actually his illegitimate child? Or even the one born by him and his daughter-in-law?"
boom!
A slipper was thrown from a distance and hit Qi Xinghuai on the back of the head.
Accompanied by the roar of Old Sun, "I heard it!"
"…If you heard it, then you heard it. You are allowed to do whatever you want, but you are not allowed to tell others about it?"
Qi Xinghuai refused to give in, but his body was honest. He shrank his neck and lowered his voice to a very low level, "Aren't you curious?"
"Not curious."
Ling Tian said as he played with a jade pendant.
This jade pendant was also given to him by Old Man Sun, who said that it recorded the way to the Sun family.
But he didn't see any clues for the time being.
Obviously, this was a test given to him by Old Sun.
If you understand it, you can go to the Sun family. If you don’t understand it, you can only give up.
Seeing that Ling Tian didn't respond, Qi Xinghuai was a little annoyed. He glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and couldn't help but complain, "This old man Sun is really something. Is there anything that can't be said openly? What kind of guessing game is this?"
Ling Tian suddenly stopped.
Turn around and look at Qi Xinghuai.
"I've always been curious, what secrets are there in the place where your four families are located that require a specific way to enter?"
"..."
Qi Xinghuai suddenly turned into a silent film.
Seeing this, Ling Tian didn't ask any more questions.
You'll know sooner or later anyway.
It was not until they were about to return to the City Lord's Mansion that Qi Xinghuai spoke up, "Have I ever told you about the relationship between our families?"
He just asked that, not expecting Ling Tian to answer.
After asking, he continued, "Our four families are hostile to each other, but at the same time we help each other."
"Because we have a common enemy."
"Remember the circle I drew for you earlier?"
Ling Tian nodded. Qi Xinghuai divided the circle into four parts, with each family occupying one of them.
Qi Xinghuai said: "What I didn't tell you is that the crosshairs and the center of the circle are occupied by another huge organization."
"That organization is our common enemy."
"What organization?" Ling Tian asked.
Qi Xinghuai's face was dark and solemn as he said word by word: "Xinghai Pavilion."
"What pavilion did you say?"
Xinghai Pavilion?
Did he hear it correctly?
Ling Tian looked at Qi Xinghuai in surprise. He never thought that he would hear the name Xinghai Pavilion here.
Is it a coincidence, a homophone, or are they really the same organization?
Qi Xinghuai repeated the name and said, "Actually, I don't know much about Xinghai Pavilion. I have never come into contact with it..."
The reason is embarrassing.
It’s because my cultivation is too low.
The state of fusion in Yongzhou City may have almost reached its limit.
But in the Qi family, even if he is not at the bottom, he does not have much status.
You have to be at least at the Spirit Transformation Realm like Old Sun to be taken seriously.
Ling Tian originally wanted to ask more questions to confirm whether it was the same organization as the Xinghai Pavilion he knew.
Although it spans two worlds, the possibility is not high.
But he still felt a connection.
However, since Qi Xinghuai said he didn't understand, he didn't ask any more questions.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, he studied the jade pendant day and night.
As for the task of finding the beastman, it was directly given to City Lord Zhao.
Originally, it was Wuan City's own business, and it would not be good to let him deal with it alone, so City Lord Zhao agreed very readily.
As a result, half a month passed.
Ling Tian gained nothing, and City Lord Zhao gained nothing either.
"Could the news be false?" He couldn't help but find Ling Tian and asked.
In fact, he wanted to ask whether the person who told Ling Tian the news was actually the Beastmaster.
The Beastmaster was in Wuan City and deliberately pointed them to a fork in the road.
Ling Tian had doubted it before, but he felt it was unlikely. Although the woman was not as strong as him, she was much stronger than others.
If he really is an orc tamer, why is he hiding?
It is not too difficult to directly charge into Wuan City and control the city.
Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that the woman came from the other side of the abyss, and her identity... maybe she was really the guardian he had made up.
"probably not."
He waved his hand. "What about the Song family? No news?"
The Song family controls the most powerful intelligence channel in the entire Wuan City.
Even Yan Chengyu's whereabouts can be traced, so how could we not find a few beast tamers?
When this matter was mentioned, City Lord Zhao became angry and said, "Don't mention it. I personally went to see Chief Song several times, but he said there was no news."
"I doubt he even asked anyone to investigate!"
Ling Tian raised an eyebrow, "Why are you so suspicious?"
"When I asked him, he said no. He didn't even ask his subordinates. Isn't it obvious that he is just trying to fool me?" City Lord Zhao was very angry.
To be honest, if the Song family had not made great contributions before.
He really wanted to teach the other party a lesson.
Ling Tian stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Maybe he has been watching all the time, or maybe... he just didn't put in enough effort, or even didn't ask anyone to investigate at all."
Upon hearing this, City Lord Zhao was startled.
He looked at Ling Tian fiercely, "You mean... the Song family is colluding with the beastmen?"
"Just reasonable suspicion."
Ling Tian said.
He didn't want to doubt the Song family, but according to what City Lord Zhao said, there must be something wrong with the Song family.
City Lord Zhao couldn't help it and stood up and said, "I'll bring people to the door now and arrest them first."
If you dare to collude with the Beastmaster, you will become the enemy of the entire Noon City!
"Don't worry."
Ling Tian stopped him, "I'll ask someone first."
He felt that Patriarch Song was not that kind of person. Even if he was really colluding with the beastman, perhaps he had some unspeakable hidden cause.
Ling Tian’s only acquaintance in the Song family is Song Li.
Naturally, I'm still looking for her.
Song Li has been busy these days, but when she heard that it was Ling Tian looking for her, she still found time to come over.
"What happened?"
Ling Tian briefly explained the situation to Song Li.
This girl is a sensible person and there is no need to hide anything.
Besides, Song Li hated those warriors who surrendered to the monsters. Even if the entire Song family became corrupted by the beast tamers, she would definitely not do so.
After hearing what he said, Song Li was stunned.
"No way..."
"I am responsible for this matter. The clan leader has repeatedly told me to investigate it carefully every day."
"I will be asked about the progress of the investigation in the evening."
"I also reported them one by one."
"Are you responsible?" Ling Tian looked at her in surprise, feeling more and more that something was wrong.
Song Li does not have a high status in the Song family, almost like an unknown person.
Why would Patriarch Song let her be in charge of such an important matter?
Just because she hates beastmen?
