Dou Qi Continent, Misty Cloud Sect.
The sun was rising in the east, and Nalan Yanran was sitting on the swing in Lin Hao's yard.
The swing was built by Lin Hao. When he has nothing to do, Nalan Yanran will come here to play.
An old man and a young man walked up to Nalan Yanran.
The old man was wearing a moon-white robe, with a smile on his face and a bright look. A pair of small eyes were shining occasionally.
On the chest of the old man, there is a silver light moon painted. Around the light moon, there are seven shining golden stars.
This shows that the old man is a Seven-Star Great Dou Master.
"Young Sect Leader, it's time for us to get up."
"But...Lin Hao still hasn't come back."
"Young Sect Master, Master Liu Ling has arrived. The Sect Master has told us to set off for Wutan City today."
The young man standing next to the old man is handsome and also wearing a moon-white robe. There are five gold stars on his chest, indicating that his strength is five-star Dou Zhe.
Liu Ling is young, about twenty years old, and has already become a Dou Zhe, which is very extraordinary.
"Squeak!"
The door opens from the inside out.
Nalan Yanran heard the voice coming from the right, and immediately turned his head. Then he saw the person walking out of the room, and he was overjoyed, "Lin Hao, you are back!"
Lin Hao nodded.
Nalan Yanran trotted up to Lin Hao, took Lin Hao's wrist, and started to walk outside, "Come on, come with me Wutan City!"
"Wutan City?" Lin Hao was startled.
Ge Ye bowed and saluted Lin Hao, and then explained, "The sect master intends to nominate Nalan Yanran as the young sect master. When he asked the young sect master if he had a marriage contract, he learned that she has a baby girl in Wutan City. He ordered me to go to Wutan City to cancel the marriage!"
Nalan Yanran said, "Lin Hao, you have nothing to do when you are free, come with me to Wutan City!"
Lin Hao said, "Who said I am an idler!"
Nalan Yanran frowned slightly, "You don't want to go with me?"
Lin Hao smiled and said, "Forget it, I always practice, this time I will accompany you down the mountain to have fun. However, one Da Dou Shi can't do it."
Ge Ye asked, "What do you mean..."
Lin Hao said, "Bring eight more Dou Ling strong men!"
Ge Ye was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Do so many people need to go? I have investigated clearly and found that Xiao Clan has declined. The clan leader's cultivation level is Da Dou Shi."
Lin Hao said solemnly, "Because of this, it is even more necessary to bring someone stronger than Da Dou Shi to suppress the battle."
Ge Ye was a little hesitant, "It's just... the sect leader said that this trip should be based on peace as the most important thing, and the main thing is to break off the engagement amicably."
Lin Hao shook his head, "There are not so many people in the world who are reasonable. Senior sister is too kind. Without strong methods, how can we make the other party compromise. Compensation alone is not enough. To be a slave is to use kindness and power at the same time. In the eyes of the other party, we are bullying the weak. Since we are bullying the weak, let's bully the weak hard!"
Wutan City, The market is very lively during the day.
There are three major families in the city. Each family has its own street, corresponding to a market.
In the market of the Xiao Clan, three young people were walking together. Two men and one woman.
"Lin Hao, do you want to find out the details of the Xiao Clan?" The person asking the question was Nalan Yanran.
"I don't think it's necessary. No matter how powerful Xiao Clan is, it's just a family in one city. How can it be compared with the Misty Cloud Sect." The person who spoke proudly was Liu Ling. As Alchemist, he was full of arrogance.
"It's not that..." Lin Hao shook his head, "I just don't like being with those adults, it's very boring. I just found an excuse to go to Wutan City for a few days. In addition, there is a friend of mine here!"
"Friend? Who is it?" Nalan Yanran asked Lin Hao with a concerned blink.
Lin Hao smiled but did not answer, turned his head to look at Liu Ling, and asked, "You just mentioned Misty Cloud Sect. But I want to know, in your heart, is your master Gu He more important, or is Misty Cloud Sect more important?"
"Of course..." Liu Ling almost let it slip. He wanted to say that of course it was his master Pill King Gu He.
Liu Ling suddenly noticed the presence of Nalan Yanran. She liked Nalan Yanran, just like his master liked Yun Yun.
"Of course... equally important!" The smart Liu Ling said with a smile, "In my heart, Master and Misty Cloud Sect are equally important!"
Lin Hao felt proud and said with a smile, "After returning from this trip, I will try my best to push Misty Cloud Sect to establish Pill Hall. When the time comes, you have to do more of your master's work!"
"Ugh!"
Liu Ling stopped and looked at Lin Hao's back in confusion.
Gu He does not belong to the Misty Cloud Sect. The relationship between him and Misty Cloud Sect is more like a temporary employment relationship.
It seems that some agreement has been reached between the Misty Cloud Sect and Gu He.
Gu He helps Misty Cloud Sect refine medicine, and Misty Cloud Sect spends resources to provide Gu He with research on elixirs.
The two parties are in an agreement of mutual benefit and mutual assistance.
Once a disaster occurs in the Misty Cloud Sect, then Gu He can stand by and watch.
But Lin Hao means something different.
Lin Hao wants to establish Pill Hall in the Misty Cloud Sect. And Liu Ling wants to do the ideological work of Gu He. In other words, Lin Hao wants Gu He to completely join Misty Cloud Sect, become a part of the Misty Cloud Sect, and share weal and woe, advance and retreat together with the Misty Cloud Sect.
If Misty Cloud Sect suffers a disaster in the future, Gu He will no longer be able to stay out of it.
This is a big deal.
Liu Ling is smart and saw the key relationship, so he was shocked.
Lin Hao realized that Liu Ling had not followed, stopped, looked back at Liu Ling and said, "If your master is not willing, I Misty Cloud Sect will not force it, and will hire someone else. If your master is willing, he will definitely be the leader of the Pill Hall, with the same status as the elders, second only to senior sister!"
Liu Ling glanced at Nalan Yanran.
He likes Nalan Yanran, but not to the extent that he can't walk when he sees Nalan Yanran.
Liu Ling said cautiously, "This matter is of great importance, and I need to consult Master for his own opinion. However, I have certain feelings for the Misty Cloud Sect, and I will support Master in becoming the leader of the Pill Hall!"
"Okay, your words are enough." Lin Hao turned around and walked to Liu Ling, happily put his arm on the latter's shoulders and continued to move forward.
The three Doudou walked around, but slowly entered the depths of the city.
The things sold in the depths of the market are much more precious than those outside. Customers who can buy here can be considered to be somewhat powerful in Wutan City.
After walking through several stalls, Lin Hao stopped at one again.
He bent down and looked at a piece of black iron on the stall, feeling slightly excited.
The black iron piece was very old and covered with rust spots. It also had some unwashed yellow mud attached to it, making it look like something that had just been dug out of a grave.
