Chapter 1222: Many times, people can’t help themselves.
Ling Tian's direct and determined tone made Zhou Xingyun unable to refute even if he wanted to.
But he didn't originally want to refute.
"Yes, this is indeed the Zhou family's plan."
Zhou Xingyun smiled.
There was no trace of anger on his face after being exposed, but instead it was full of ridicule.
"Those idiots are still treating today's border towns as soft persimmons."
"Thinking that if you control the spar, you will control the lifeblood of the border town."
"Simply stupid!"
Ling Tian and Yan Liu immediately thought of the crystal mine.
Obviously, Zhou Xingyun has guessed that there are other sources of crystal stones in the border town.
But it has not yet been determined whether there is a spar mine.
But that's just a matter of time.
The two looked at each other and Ling Tian asked.
"You just said that was the Zhou family's plan, what about you?"
"I?"
Zhou Xingyun said without any doubt.
"Of course I'm on your side."
"The Zhou family is the Zhou family, and I am me. We can't be confused."
Whether these words are sincere is not said, but at least the attitude shown by Zhou Xingyun is indeed sincere.
Ling Tian nodded and said.
"I understand, do you have a place to stay now?"
"Have……"
Zhou Xingyun was a little surprised.
Normally, Ling Tian shouldn't ask next what the Zhou family planned?
Why not ask?
Under Zhou Xingyun's gaze, Ling Tian said calmly.
"That's good. It's getting late. City Master Yan and I still have some things to discuss, so I won't leave you alone."
"..."
There is no need to drive people away so obviously.
Zhou Xingyun didn't expect that Ling Tian would ask him to leave so bluntly.
I want to stay, but I have no excuse.
After a moment of silence, he reluctantly stood up.
"Then I'll take my leave now and won't bother you again tomorrow."
After Zhou Xingyun left, Yan Liu frowned and spoke.
"In your opinion, how much of what he said is true and how much of it is false?"
"At least one thing he said is true."
Ling Tian said calmly.
"It is inevitable that the Zhou family will focus on border towns."
"Zhou Manshan is too naive. He will definitely tell the Zhou family everything that happened in the border town when he returns."
"But it's also because of this that the Zhou family is willing to help."
"But at the same time, they will also realize that the current border towns have begun to escape the control of Li Cheng."
"The important thing is that they are not fools, so they will not miss this opportunity to enjoy the border town to themselves."
"As for Zhou Xingyun..."
"Does it matter to you what he thinks?"
Hearing Ling Tian's inquiry, Yan Liu suddenly reacted.
Yup!
It doesn't matter what Zhou Xingyun thinks. As long as he is still in the border town, he can't change the world.
In other words, even if he wanted to overthrow the world, he didn't have the ability.
Therefore, we can only stand on their side.
"This person will make good use of it. It must not be easy for him to get this job from the Zhou family."
"Isn't there just no one available right now?"
"Don't miss the manpower that comes to your door."
Yan Liu nodded subconsciously, and then his face suddenly darkened.
"You're back, and you still don't plan to take over the affairs of the border town?"
"Those who are capable work hard, and I have never managed a city before..."
Ling Tian said casually.
Before he finished speaking, he heard Yan Liu sneer.
An expression that says I just want to see what you are making up.
Ling Tian was silent for a moment and said.
"Many times, people can't help themselves."
"Isn't it convenient to tell me?"
Yan Liu immediately understood Ling Tian's underlying meaning.
He didn't feel that Ling Tian was guarding against him. Everyone had their own secrets, and it was normal not to want to tell them.
Ling Tian looked at Yan Liu and found it difficult to open his mouth.
It's not that he can't trust Yan Liu, it's mainly that what he's going to do next will have a great impact on the people of this world.
If it were Zhong Lishan and the others, they could really successfully reverse their path to immortality.
By then, people in this world may no longer have to worry about threats from monsters.
But for people in the outside world, it is a huge disaster!
Even if the monsters cannot go to the outside world, the warriors in this world are enough to cause a huge impact on the outside world.
Their arrival will definitely plunge the entire world into chaos!
Therefore, Ling Tian wants to stop them.
But for people in this world, what Zhong Lisan and the others did was a good thing.
If Yan Liu knew about it, would he help him?
He wasn't sure.
It's not that he doesn't trust Yan Liu, but because he can't gamble with the fate of so many people.
"Feel sorry."
Ling Tian said helplessly.
Yan Liu smiled and said.
"It doesn't have to be like this... let's go. It's been a long time. Many people probably want to see you."
The topic just passed by.
Yan Liu had people prepare a sumptuous dinner.
He also sent someone to call over those who were close friends with Ling Tian.
Everyone had a lively meal.
Naturally, I also called the Jiang family.
Since the Jiang family wanted to stay in the border town, they had to blend in.
This is the best opportunity.
It was also at this time that Ling Tiancai learned from the great elder about Jiang Yu's departure.
He didn't say much about this.
Jiang Yu is a person, not an object, and has his own thoughts.
It's not good to keep her tied to you all the time.
Besides, letting her go out and explore is not necessarily a bad thing for her.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Yu would be with Liao Wengzhi and others. He guessed that Jiang Yu most likely wanted to help him find the clues left by Qin Hao.
"Don't worry about her, she's stronger than you think."
Ling Tian said with relief.
As long as Jiang Yu doesn't slack off, her strength will grow quickly.
And with dual infuriating energy, her future achievements may be even stronger than Ling Tian's.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian wonders whether he should practice another technique, and maybe like Jiang Yu, he can make a temporary breakthrough.
By then, how strong will he be?
I'm looking forward to it.
After the dinner, the head of the Chen family called Ling Tian aside alone and asked.
"You didn't come back even if you had the money?"
"Well, he... went out to practice."
"Experience?"
The head of the Chen family didn’t believe it.
With Chen Youqian's temper, he would rather stay at home all day or go out to fool around.
How could you have that ambition?
Ling Tian thought about it and told the head of the Chen family about Cheng Qingleng.
After listening, the head of the Chen family was silent for a while.
"Master Ling, are you lying to me?"
"As rich as he is...does anyone really like him?"
It's not that the head of the Chen family looks down on Chen Youqian, it's that he knows Chen Youqian's moral character best.
It's hard to imagine that any woman would take the initiative to confess.
If it is true, it will be a good thing for the Chen family.
Ling Tian repeatedly assured that it was true, and the head of the Chen family was overjoyed.
"It seems that our Chen family has really turned a corner."
"Master Ling, thank you."
This is what I said sincerely.
Ling Tian smiled and waved.
"There's no need to thank me. It's all your own choice."
Even so, the head of the Chen family disagreed.
At that time, they were willing to stand by Ling Tian because they had no other choice.
This is the only path they can choose.
Unexpectedly, I would get huge benefits from this.
