Call Me Brother
Upon hearing this, Qian Xiuzhu and the others wore strange expressions.
"Brother Song, are you overthinking this? Chen Lingling only left for a short while and she's already back? What kind of test could end so quickly? Senior's words probably meant that you should go and do what you need to do if you don't have anything else to do, right?" Qian Mingjing said.
Li Wensong said, "I'm absolutely certain that's what Brother Lu meant! During our time together, I've noticed that every word Brother Lu says has a deeper meaning! So, if I've just realized this, then given Brother Lu's unparalleled and powerful control, Chen Lingling's return should be imminent!"
Lianxin and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.
Is that really what you mean?
"It should arrive within ten breaths! If you don't believe me, you can wait a while!" Li Wensong took a deep breath, convinced that his understanding of Lu Qing'an's words this time was correct.
His ability to clearly explain the deeper meaning of that sentence at this particular moment is likely due to being deliberately controlled!
So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, something unexpected is about to happen!
Chen Lingling should be appearing around this time!
Lianxin and Qian Xiuzhu blinked at each other.
Is that really the case?
They all had some doubts about whether Li Wensong was thinking too extremely. They knew Lu Qing'an was very strong, but surely not to the point of having such meticulous control over this kind of matter.
They felt that what Lu Qing'an said to Li Wensong was more like a simple dismissal.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do in a little while," Lianxin thought to herself.
However, her thoughts had barely crossed her mind when her eyes widened in shock.
Not only her, but Qian Xiuzhu and Qian Mingjing, two Eternal Realm experts, also possessed exceptional perception abilities and instantly sensed an aura of a Mid Eternal Realm rapidly approaching the Five Lakes Continent.
"No!"
Li Wensong was only at the Sovereign Realm and could not perceive places that were too far away, but when he suddenly heard Qian Xiuzhu's exclamation and saw the change in the expressions of the three people, his eyes lit up.
"Look at your expressions, could it be that I was right?!"
Lianxin turned her head blankly to look at Li Wensong, and stammered slightly, "Really, really back..."
"Hahaha! Let's go, let's go greet them!" Li Wensong laughed loudly.
He knew that his interpretation of Lu Qing'an's words was definitely correct!
Every word spoken by such a powerful person must have a deeper meaning!
After all, he was a Peak Eternal Realm expert who had mastered the Rule of Cause and Effect!
This kind of person must be an extremely meticulous and terrifying individual!
Not only are every word laced with hidden meaning, but even every glance and every gesture may be meticulously planned!
Lianxin controlled the Five Lakes Continent to appear in the direction Chen Lingling Chen Lingling flying from, blocking her way.
Chen Lingling stopped when she saw the Five Lakes Continent approaching.
In the blink of an eye, Lianxin appeared in the outer realm with Li Wensong and the others.
The moment their eyes met, the surroundings were unusually quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat strange.
Li Wensong smiled at Chen Lingling and said, "Fellow Daoist, why did you suddenly come back? Weren't you a little skeptical of what my Brother Lu said before?"
He is now very curious about what Chen Lingling did and what trials she went through after she left.
Chen Lingling's return means she has passed the test and is now in the same boat as them.
Become Lu Qing'an's pawn!
Chen Lingling swallowed hard, a hint of embarrassment creeping onto her flawless face.
"Um, that was my fault just now. I... I realize what I did..."
Before Chen Lingling could finish speaking, Li Wensong shook his head and smiled, raising his hand to stop her, saying, "Don't say anymore, just call me Brother Song."
Lianxin and the others glanced at Li Wensong.
Let's get him trained!
Chen Lingling gave a wry smile, but still accepted being a pawn. As Li Wensong Lu Qing'an's number one pawn, Li Wensong should rightfully be called "brother."
She took a deep breath, and when she opened her eyes again, her gaze became resolute.
"Brother Song! It was wrong of me to question you before! From now on, I will join the team and work hard to advance the boss's plan!"
Becoming a pawn of the Peak Eternal Realm expert who controls the Rule of Cause and Effect is not a frustrating thing.
On the contrary, accepting her now might completely change her future fate!
At the very least, he should be able to reliably break through to the Late Eternal Realm!
How many Mid Eternal Realm experts have sacrificed everything to break through to the next realm?
Her sacrifice is nothing at all.
Hearing Chen Lingling address him like that, Li Wensong felt extremely pleased.
That's more like it!
"Very well! From this moment on, you are one of us! Then I will not hold your previous rudeness against you!" Li Wensong smiled calmly, as if everything was under his control.
Chen Lingling smiled and said, "Okay!"
"Alright, let's go back and sit down and chat!" Li Wensong said with a smile.
And so, the group returned to the Five Lakes Continent, to Lianxin's residence, and sat down once more.
At this moment, when Chen Lingling sat down again, she was sitting next to Jin Lin, and the two held hands, like sisters.
Chen Lingling: "Jin Lin, our relationship has taken another step forward. You've made a contract with that big shot. I was so rude before, I'm afraid I upset him. If you have the ability, could you put in a good word for me...?"
Before Jin Lin could speak, Li Wensong casually said, "Little Lingling, there's no need for that!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling looked at Li Wensong and asked, "Brother Song, what do you mean by that?"
Li Wensong laughed and said, "To put it bluntly, how could you possibly have the ability to make a choice? Looking at what you did and said before, it wasn't really your own words at all! So, there's no way I, Brother Lu, would hold a grudge against you!"
Chen Lingling blinked, and after hearing Li Wensong's words, she nodded directly, agreeing with him.
"Then I won't do anything?" Chen Lingling asked tentatively.
Li Wensong laughed and said, "Your change in attitude is all under Brother Lu's control. He must know. If you really feel bad about it, just say sorry to the air. But that's just you comforting yourself."
Chen Lingling scratched her head and smiled, "That makes sense."
Li Wensong said, "Now that we realize we're just pawns, we need to fulfill our responsibilities and advance the overall strategy. Brother Lu has never been stingy with pawns. Isn't what you want most to break through to the Late Eternal Realm? This trip to the Fallen God Sea should be the opportunity for that breakthrough. With Brother Lu's strength, you can already be considered to be at the Late Eternal Realm; that's a done deal."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lingling held her breath.
Ha ha!
So that's how it is!
I'm now in the Late Eternal Realm!!!
"Okay! Brother Song is right! From now on, Brother Song you ask me to do, I'll do!" Chen Lingling wasn't sure what she needed to do, but Li Wensong clearly understood Lu Qing'an's plan, so listening to Li Wensong was the right thing to do.
Li Wensong laughed and said, "Then tell me, what happened after you left?"
He was quite curious about what Chen Lingling had done to pass the test and officially become a pawn!
