"No time!" Ling Yi waved his hand and said.
But then, realizing what she meant, she asked, "What did you say your name was?"
"My name is Deng Baichuan!"
"So, your young master is Murong Fu, the one who's always thinking about rebellion?"
"Young Master Ling, please be careful with your words. My young master..." Deng Baichuan's face darkened. This Ling Yi seemed to know his young master very well!
"Alright, you don't need to explain. I can't be bothered with Murong Fu's petty affairs. But he certainly has a big ego, actually making Laozi go see him. Does he really think he's some kind of prince?"
Ling Yi had no interest in Murong Fu, but he was very curious about Wang Yuyan.
The number one beauty in the Heavenly Dragon Jianghu, but I don't know what makes her so beautiful.
Is it the image of the Fairy Sister from TV dramas?
Yeah, it's just pure curiosity.
Deng Baichuan took a deep breath and quickly explained, "Young Master Ling, please don't misunderstand. My young master absolutely did not mean any disrespect. It's just that there are many people here, and it's not very convenient to talk."
"My young master is very sincere; I humbly request that Young Master Ling grant him the honor of a meeting."
Deng Baichuan was furious. He could clearly see the contempt and disdain Ling Yi showed towards his young master.
But considering Ling Yi's strength, Deng Baichuan dared not be negligent in the slightest.
This concerns the young master's great cause and cannot be taken lightly.
This Ling Yi is worth a million soldiers, and one could even say he is worth an entire nation.
If we can recruit them into your ranks, your grand ambitions will be realized.
Even though I know the chances are slim, what if I succeed?
Even if it doesn't work out, at least you'll make some connections.
"Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well go and meet the famous Murong Fu."
Then he looked at the three women, Yaoyue, and asked, "Are you going or not?"
"That fame-seeking scoundrel, I won't go. Rong'er and I will go shopping and buy some things; the manor's ingredients and seasonings are running low," Yaoyue said.
"Okay, I'll go see her and be right back. Rong'er, let's have hot pot tonight!"
Huang Rong made an OK sign.
The hot pot was Ling Yi came up with while traveling; however, he only explained how to eat it, and Huang Rong was responsible for making it happen.
The OK sign was something Huang Rong and the others learned from Ling Yi.
This is called being influenced by what one sees and hears.
Ling Yi stood up and said to Deng Baichuan, "Let's go!"
"Please, young master!"
Soon, Ling Yi followed Deng Baichuan to a relatively quiet courtyard.
The courtyard is not large, but the bamboo groves around it sway in the breeze, and the flowerbeds in the middle are full of blooming flowers, filling the garden with fragrance.
The roof tiles of the houses are mainly blue and red, giving them a very Ancient Charm.
Of course, what Ling Yi considered Ancient Charm would probably be nothing special to people today.
But what really caught the eye were three beautiful young women in the flowerbed.
A Bi in a green dress, A Zhu in a blue dress, and Wang Yuyan in a pristine white dress.
Even though Ling Yi had seen many beautiful women recently, he was still stunned for a long time after seeing Wang Yuyan.
She truly is like a fairy from heaven, not of this world.
Murong Fu was standing at the door, about to greet them, but then suddenly stopped talking.
Filled with rage, he thought, "This Wang Yuyan is my future imperial concubine, and Ling Yi is staring at her so Wuji. How can I not be furious?"
But then I thought again, this Ling Yi is probably very difficult to win over.
Although Murong Fu was arrogant and conceited, he was not a fool.
Ling Yi alone is worth a million soldiers; he has the power to fight an entire nation. Just a few days ago, he single-handedly slaughtered tens of thousands of people.
Among them were many Jianghu Master Grandmaster, as well as members of the Great Ming Dynasty Dynasty's Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and Brocade Guard.
Moreover, Ling Yi himself possesses various god-like abilities.
Murong Fu did not believe there was any possibility of successfully recruiting them.
But if Ling Yi is lusting after his cousin's beauty, perhaps there is hope.
Ling Yi's appearance was not only seen by Murong Fu, but also by Wang Yuyan and the other two women.
The three women also looked at Ling Yi.
Ling Yi's undisguised gaze made Wang Yuyan frown. Although there was not much malice in Ling Yi's eyes, being stared at like that still made her feel uncomfortable.
He bowed to A Bi and A Zhu and said, "My cousin is entertaining guests, we shouldn't disturb him. Please come back to your room with me!"
The two women nodded and followed Wang Yuyan to the backyard.
A Zhu turned around, she glared at Ling Yi, clearly mistaking him for a Ling Yi man.
Ling Yi also came to his senses, and didn't care about the three women's attitude.
He was impolite to begin with. If this had happened in his previous life, staring at a girl like that would have gotten him scolded, which would have been the least of his worries.
If you encounter a T0 (top-tier player), at best you'll be skinned alive, at worst you'll be utterly disgraced, exposed online, and subjected to public condemnation.
Wang Yuyan was beautiful, but Ling Yi felt nothing for her.
The feeling was like looking at a painting, a stunning landscape, but just a landscape.
"Haha, I am Murong Fu, greetings to Immortal Master Ling!"
"Hmm? Immortal Master Ling?"
"Brother Ling's various skills are comparable to those of ancient immortals, so he has been given the title of ' Immortal Master Ling' in the Jianghu!"
Immortal Master Ling, what a terrible title.
"Brother Ling, you truly shone brightly in the Battle of Wild Buffalo Valley, making a name for yourself in one battle and shaking the Jianghu. You are truly admirable!" Murong Fu said, cupping his Fist Dao to Ling Yi.
"You went to Wild Buffalo Valley too? I haven't seen you around." Ling Yi asked curiously.
If Murong Fu and his group also went to Wild Buffalo Valley, they would inevitably be drawn into the ranks of the 100,000 elite warriors.
There's a high probability they can't escape.
"After all, I am not a member of the martial arts world of the Great Ming Jianghu. If I approach rashly, misunderstandings are inevitable," Murong Fu explained.
The truth is that Murong Fu encountered Cao Zhengchun and his men on the way and was terrified by tens of thousands of Brocade Guard.
I didn't dare get too close, so I came to Dali ahead of Dali.
Otherwise, Murong Fu would probably have already met his end in Wild Buffalo Valley.
"I see. You're quite clever. Now, tell me, what's your purpose in summoning me?" Ling Yi asked bluntly.
Ling Yi's purpose in coming here was to see if he could meet Wang Yuyan.
Now that I've seen the person and satisfied my curiosity, it's time to leave.
"Brother Ling is indeed a man of few words. I would like to make a deal with you."
Murong Fu naturally wouldn't directly say he wanted to recruit Ling Yi as his subordinate; he genuinely felt there was little chance.
So, they started using the guise of a transaction.
Tell me!
"I know Brother Ling intends to enter the Ice Cave. With your abilities, you are sure to succeed and reap a great harvest. Therefore, I wish to trade with you for a batch of Ice Marrow."
"Of course, please rest assured regarding finances, Brother Ling; I will absolutely not let you suffer any loss."
"Money is useless to me," Ling Yi shook his head.
He's definitely not short of money right now.
Ling Yi was thoroughly satisfied with his trip to Mount Song. The Shaolin Sect is truly incredibly wealthy; there's still a large amount of gold and silver in their manor warehouse in the Death Realm.
You can't spend it all, you simply can't spend it all.
"A transaction should only proceed if both parties are satisfied!"
"Money, power, beauty—which one does Brother Ling wish to trade?"
Ling Yi initially wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly changed his mind.
"I want those three women. If you agree, I'll not only give you a batch of Ice Marrow, but I'll also tell you a method for 100% success in restoring your kingdom."
Murong Fu's face turned cold. Of course, he wasn't really angry, but he had to put on an act.
Or rather, he's itching to agree to the deal right now.
Murong Fu's lifelong Obsession was restoring his kingdom. If Ling Yi truly possessed a foolproof method for restoring the kingdom, then three women would be an incredibly worthwhile investment for him.
"Brother Ling, A Bi and A Zhu have been with me for many years, and I, Murong Fu them like family. Yuyan is even my cousin. Please, Brother Ling, do not make such a joke."
"Then forget it!" Ling Yi turned and left.
Seeing Ling Yi leave immediately, Murong Fu was stunned. Wait, shouldn't there be some bargaining process? Why did you just leave like that?
"Ahem, Brother Ling, please wait!" Murong Fu quickly called out to stop him.
"Didn't you disagree?" Ling Yi said with a teasing smile.
Murong Fu understood that now was not the time to pretend, so he simply said, "Since Brother Ling knows my lifelong wish, then I will no longer hide it."
"Fu truly desires to restore the nation, but unfortunately, all his efforts over the years seem to have been in vain."
Okay, at least you have the self-awareness to know better.
"If Brother Ling can help me restore my kingdom, then this deal can naturally be made."
Ling Yi nodded. "I will leave Dali thing tomorrow morning!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Murong Fu understood Ling Yi's meaning: if he agreed to the deal, he would send the three women to Ling Yi's side before dawn the next day.
Watching Ling Yi's departing the Back, Murong Fu narrowed his phoenix eyes, a murderous intent flashing within them.
But then he sighed helplessly.
Ling Yi was too powerful, so powerful that he dared not even think of making a move.
Even Xiong Ba, Xiongba at the Great Peak Grandmaster, was worn down to death by Ling Yi's countless assassins. He was only a Master Fifth Stage; going against Ling Yi was suicide.
This deal was naturally a good one for Murong Fu.
But what he was really worried about wasn't that; what he was really worried about was whether Ling Yi would keep his promise. What if he took the woman and then went back on his word? That would be a huge loss for him.
The key issue is that Ling Yi denies it, and there's nothing he can do about it.
Just then, Deng Baichuan said, "Young Master, a manor has appeared out of nowhere outside Dali City. The manor is extremely large, not much smaller than Swallow Cove. It must be Ling Yi's doing."
Murong Fu felt a pang of envy; he wished he had Ling Yi's ability to Universe in the Sleeve.
"Young Master, since Ling Yi has taken a liking to A Bi and the others, perhaps you could do something about it. If you could obtain the secrets within Ling Yi..."
A glint of greed flashed in Murong Fu's eyes. He pursed his lips, turned, and headed towards the backyard.
Shortly after Ling Yi left Murong Fu's small manor, he suddenly paused.
"Hmm, it seems that the Radiant Water Country in this world is different from the Li Zhengjing Radiant Water Country!" Ling Yi murmured.
The reason for saying this is that Ling Yi originally wanted to tell Murong Fu the method of restoring his country, which was to have him occupy the Radiant Water Country.
But Ling Yi suddenly remembered that the Radiant Water Country in this world was quite powerful.
After all, this world Fusion elements of martial Fengyun Jianghu, significantly raising the overall strength of the Martial Practitioner in the Radiant Water Country.
For example, Murong Fu definitely couldn't defeat Jue Wushen.
"We'll see when the time comes. But speaking of which, Murong Fu, whose life is as fragile as paper, does have some brains; he doesn't seem as stupid as he appears!"
With Ying Yi, Ling Yi disappeared from his spot, and a few more flashes later, he had already left Dali City.
Before even returning to the manor, Ling Yi could smell the aroma of hot pot from afar, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
