Fu Qingping was the first one to arrive today. He had many things to discuss with Lin Qinghen, so he came in a hurry with his men.
In addition to the official business, he also had something else to remind Lin Qinghen.
Private matter.
The situation outside has changed a lot recently, so naturally the overall situation is improving for them.
In the previous battle with Wang Yulin, Lei City, Haihun City, Lingguan City and other cities joined forces to rise up, Yin Jiuxiao showed his strength, Chen Lianyan and Qin Xiang retreated to recover, and Wang Yulin's younger generation suffered heavy losses, resulting in a clear trend of power in the entire Beizhou behind the ruins, and gradually forming a tripartite situation in the region.
There are fewer cities in the Northern Province, and more of them are occupied by mercenaries and fighting everywhere. But in this situation, the previous free mercenaries are not so free anymore. Some of them are more sensitive and have begun to choose sides.
You must not surrender immediately, but trying to cooperate is the inevitable result.
Fu Qingping was a mercenary, he knew a lot of people, and during this period he led people here. Yin Hengxie also met many powerful forces recently.
The ruins have not been exposed yet. The most attractive person in the Yin family now is of course Yin Jiuxiao. Many people come here for him.
But in good things, there are always some dissenting voices. Some people with pure intentions began to have other ideas about Yin Jiuxiao.
In the spiritual world, there are always people who are willing to do anything in pursuit of supreme martial arts and stable support.
Merely superficial cooperation makes people feel somewhat unstable, and more people hope for a closer relationship.
Yin Jiuxiao had experienced this in his previous life. After he became famous, many people were sent to his side, and all kinds of seduction methods were used.
At that time, he was bent on revenge and was troubled by the engagement. He trusted many people and thought that those who were sent to him had other intentions. So he saw them all and threw them out. After a few attempts, no one dared to come forward anymore.
But Yin Jiuxiao in this life is a completely kind person. Everyone knows about his affair with Lin Qinghen, which provides a breakthrough point and makes many people fantasize.
Although outsiders said that they had a good relationship, they also heard that Lin Qinghen was cruel and cunning, had a disgusting birthmark on half of his face, and had a low talent. After staying together for a long time without having anything in common, it was inevitable that they would feel bored.
—No matter what the facts are, many people think so.
As the rumor spread, all kinds of rumors started to spread in the city.
Many mercenary groups came to the City of Tears after the ruins, so people outside the city didn't know what happened before.
Especially after Lin Yunsi and Li Yan became famous, many people even believed that Diemeng's current prosperity was mostly due to these extremely talented alchemists, so they blamed Lin Yunsi and others for some of the things Lin Qinghen had done.
Rumors were spreading like wildfire, as if if Lin Qinghen was stepped on, others would have a chance.
But Lin Qinghen did not show up at this critical juncture and kept a low profile. The Yin Family, Haihun City, and Diemeng had all explained it specifically, but many people simply did not believe it and only believed what they believed in, and even made up a lot of things in their own minds.
Yin Jiuxiao became famous, but Lin Qinghen went out at this time. It was strange no matter how he thought about it.
If anyone could get close to Yin Jiuxiao, there would be no need to worry in the future.
So there was only a glimmer of hope. Even after the Yin family repeatedly rejected them, there were still a lot of people coming to the Yin family. They were all around 20 years old, both boys and girls, and all of them had good talents and good family backgrounds.
Even if you climb up to Yin Jiuxiao, it would be a bad idea to settle for the next best thing and run into Yin Rongyu.
Even though Bai Muchuan had suffered a great loss in this regard before, Fu Qingping had listened to it for a long time, and watched these people squeeze into the Yin family under various pretexts, so he refused to listen to any advice and couldn't help but worry about Lin Qinghen.
Yin Jiuxiao looked reassuring before, as he seemed to be always with Lin Qinghen. But once a person has ability and is admired by so many people, and he is young and unstable, it is hard to say.
What if a few gentle, pretty girls come here at this time, and Yin Jiuxiao changes his mind
This is exactly what Fu Qingping hopes to see.
To put it bluntly, Yin Jiuxiao was a very secretive person, and even he couldn't see clearly what kind of person he was.
Especially today, as if he was afraid that things might get big enough, Lin Qinghen finally came out, and he only sent his post to people in the city. Perhaps because he heard the news outside, he also sent it to the few mercenary groups that showed intention of cooperation.
Fu Qingping knew that Lin Qinghen wanted to discuss cooperation, but other people had ulterior motives and the people who came were not so simple. He was afraid that these people would deliberately target him, and he was also afraid that Lin Qinghen would suffer in this matter.
Their personal situation is likely to affect the stability of this situation and should not be underestimated.
When Fu Qingping hurried over with worry in his heart, Lin Qinghen was standing in the middle of the hall with his back to him, talking to Yin Jiuxiao.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Qingping naturally saw Yin Jiuxiao first.
His eyes returned to normal, and his whole demeanor became more restrained. The white jade token belonging to the young master of the Yin family was still around his waist. With just one glance, he already had the demeanor that made people surrender.
No wonder so many people are trying to squeeze in next to him.
If nothing unexpected happens, it won't take long for this person to become the future master of the spiritual world.
Lin Qinghen was wearing a plain green outfit, and he looked much smaller than Yin Jiuxiao. His spirit was very light, and his hair was a little longer, with the wind blowing the ends of his hair slightly. Although his spirit was low, he was inexplicably very strong, and he was not inferior to Yin Jiuxiao when he stood next to him.
Fu Qingping had previously felt that there was an indescribable aura about him, and after not seeing him for some time, the special feeling about this person became even stronger.
When he got closer, he could even smell the special floral scent on Lin Qinghen.
Fu Qingping was in a daze for a moment, but he still remembered what he was worried about, so he spoke as soon as he came in: "Master Lin, can I have a word with you for a moment? I have something important to remind you, which is..."
Lin Qinghen turned around after hearing that.
He had always been very friendly to Qing Ping, and today he was in a good mood, so he smiled at him politely as before. His eyes looked even more crystal clear and gorgeous in the light from the hall.
"What's wrong? It's okay, just tell me, Jiu Xiao has nothing to listen to."
Fu Qingping:…
The words he was about to say were choked there.
He had seen many beauties before, and at his age, he should have been attracted by beauty. However, when he saw Lin Qinghen in the present moment, he could not help but hold back his shock for a while, and even coughed violently a few times.
…Who is this
He spoke in a stammering voice: "Master Lin, you, your face..."
"Did I rest some time ago? It was for this reason. I have some ailments that I was born with, and my eyesight is gradually recovering," Lin Qinghen also explained to him, "So, what did you want to tell me just now?"
Fu Qingping was silent for a while.
Seeing this face, what else can he say
They want to send some beautiful girls over from outside, but who is as pretty as Lin Qinghen now
Still want to fight for Yin Jiuxiao, haha.
He saw Yin Jiuxiao's actions, so he leaned over and said a few words to Lin Qinghen. The man then looked alert as if he had robbed something precious from him, and forcibly pulled Lin Qinghen's waist towards him.
… He was worrying too much.
According to this situation, when those people come over later, the person who should be alert because of the emotional issue is actually Lin Qinghen.
Before he could say anything, Yu Yinyin, Lin Yunsi, Yin Hengxie, Yin Miao and the people from Lingguan, Yin Rongyu and Ding Lian also arrived.
The main reason is that after many people on Ding Lian's side saw the battle between the Yin family and Wang Yulin, they all wanted to stay. However, this kind of gifted spiritual master must be placed in the inner courtyard and belong to the most core team of the Yin family. This is under the charge of Yin Jiuxiao, so all the details have to be finalized by him.
They stayed indoors and really caused a lot of trouble outside.
But no matter why they came, the first thing these people did when they came in was to look at Lin Qinghen, and they said roughly the same things.
"You, your face..."
Lin Qinghen repeated the same rhetoric several times. With so many responses, he couldn't help but feel confused.
Is it that serious
Of course he felt amazed when he looked in the mirror for the first time after his recovery, but that soon passed.
This face was somewhat similar to his in his previous life, but perhaps not as rough as in his previous life, it looked more delicate. He got used to it and suddenly understood why everyone mentioned it every time they came in.
Besides, it wasn't recovered last time, was it? I didn't see them so surprised.
… Can this time be the same as last time?!
Yin Rongyu, who led the group of young people who entered the Yin family, had the biggest reaction. After all, they were young, and when he came over, he wanted to at least tell Lin Qinghen in person that he had won, and that was what he should have done that evening. But when Lin Qinghen looked at him, he began to stutter and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
In comparison, he was still relatively calm. Ding Lian had someone in his heart, he was just simply amazed. The group of young men behind him blushed.
It's not just that overly stunning face, there's always something about Lin Qinghen that can be said to be unspeakable.
There seemed to be a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked gentle and easy to get along with, without any aggression. People felt good when they saw him, because of the faint spiritual power in him, which even made people have an inexplicable desire to protect him, and completely forget how many fierce and cruel things this person had done.
It was not until Yin Jiuxiao, who was standing next to him, looked at the situation with a gloomy face and said in a calm voice, "It's okay," and then quickly returned to practice, that the whole scene calmed down a little.
Only Lin Yunsi could sit next to him, and he kept tilting his head to look at him, which made Lin Qinghen feel creepy, so he reached out and turned his head away.
"What?"
Lin Yunsi sighed: "You actually look like this, tsk, Yin Jiuxiao made a fortune."
Lin Qinghen: "Little brat, are you still looking at faces?"
"Of course I saw it," Lin Yunsi said, and then he became a little more serious and said, "I think you look familiar."
"Nonsense, how long have you been by my side? Do you think this looks familiar?"
"It's this kind of familiarity," Lin Yunsi shook his head, "I always feel that you and Li Yan look a bit similar."
The two people give people a very similar feeling, or even look alike, and it seems that only Lin Yunsi thinks so.
Li Yan's skin color is a little darker, making him look young, mature, and calm. His temperament is relatively cold and sharp, and he looks defensive and easy to get along with, which is the exact opposite of Lin Qinghen.
Everyone would think they look alike at first glance, but if they look at them for a long time like Lin Yunsi did, the similarities in the facial features and outlines would become apparent.
Lin Qinghen was busy with other things at the moment, and he didn't think much about how similar they were, so he didn't take his words to heart at this time.
First, I quickly dealt with the remaining matters, and then I got to the point.
The most important thing in this meeting is the Immortal Vine. The time written on the post to other mercenary groups is much later. They haven't arrived yet, so Lin Qinghen naturally let his own people take a look first.
He wanted to bring so many people to his own small courtyard, but the area near his and Yin Jiuxiao's courtyard was also empty, so he just found a large open space and planted a piece of immortal vine there. After being urged to grow by Yin Jiuxiao, the purification effect was very obvious. When he brought people over, he found that a lot of yellow-level spiritual plants had grown lushly on it.
How long has it been since Beizhou could see colorful and thriving vegetation at a glance
The people in the city were almost out of breath when they were brought over by Lin Qinghen to have a look and listened to his detailed explanation.
Today, there were so many shocking events that happened one after another without stopping. Several people lowered their heads to look at the soil, carefully identifying the demons in it and making sure that they were almost gone. They checked it several times with shaking hands.
Beizhou is really saved!
They were filled with hatred and tears welled up in their eyes.
"This thing was discovered by the little girl Xiao Meng from the Yin family. I have to thank her very much. It would be great if she could be rewarded with anything. Later, I picked out the seeds and Jiuxiao helped to grow them," Lin Qinghen also took the credit and explained the matter in detail. "The Immortal Vine is the savior of Beizhou. I don't plan to keep it to myself. Besides, this thing has been planted and the fruits are ready for anyone to pick. Restoring the vitality of Beizhou will benefit everyone."
But there is a time lag problem here.
Under normal circumstances, it would take a month or so for the Immortal Ivy to sprout, but Yin Jiuxiao could catalyze the seeds in advance so that the seedlings could be effective.
But in the end it will be even longer, about five years.
After all, this is a Xuan-level spiritual plant. The amount of magic in the soil of Beizhou is only trace, and it does take time for it to grow.
The Immortal Vine belongs to Beizhou, but the catalytic ability belongs to Yin Jiuxiao. Yin Jiuxiao has always been a philanthropist and will not work for others for no reason.
This means that, at least in the next five years, the seeds of the Immortality Vine will only be in the hands of the Yin family, and only they can achieve the highest efficiency.
Seeds and resources are limited, and the transformation of the Northern Province is also based on a first-come, first-served basis, so the city is naturally the first.
Lin Qinghen asked the mercenaries to come later, in fact, he also wanted to tell them about this matter. Once the Immortality Ivy is grown, no one can hide it, so it is better to make it clear.
Besides, Lin Qinghen knew that these people were somewhat fence-sitters and were still wavering. They would not move if given a bone.
The ruins have to be maintained and cannot be exposed for the time being. Although Wang Yulin is in chaos now, Lin Qinghen plans to continue poaching people, and it is hard to prevent these people from doing something desperate. The Yin family needs more powerful support.
Moreover, Lin Qinghen was worried about Yin Jiuxiao. If he showed his talent to the outside world, he would inevitably face some hostility. There were also many people who wanted to eliminate this great threat before he grew up. But if Yin Jiuxiao was closely related to the Eternal Vine, it would be an extra powerful bargaining chip. Those people in Beizhou would never dare to touch him at will.
This was the first time for those mercenary groups to come to Tear City, and it was also the first time for Lin Qinghen to see him. Now was also an opportunity for him to take a closer look at whether these people were worthy of cooperation.
He was very good at planning everything, but he also didn't know why these mercenary groups brought so many people here
He invited more than seven or eight mercenary groups this time. Logically, it would be enough for the leader or the deputy leader to come and make the decision. But at first glance, the people led by the Yin family in the distance must be here. What kind of banquet is this
Lin Qinghen frowned, exchanged a puzzled look with Yin Jiuxiao beside him, and asked: "What are they doing?"
He had just come out, and the news he received was limited. In addition, the outside world's debate on the issue of the situation was somewhat publicized. Lin Qinghen didn't care, so he really didn't know anything. Others would deliberately say this in front of him to annoy him.
Fu Qingping wanted to remind him before, but when he saw Lin Qinghen's recovered face and Yin Jiuxiao's attitude that seemed to want to hold someone in his mouth and then let go, and saw this immortal vine, he didn't need to say anything more and just watched the show from the side.
He loves to see others embarrassed the most in his life.
It was just a good opportunity for these cunning mercenary groups to see what the current style of Tear City was like, and to teach them a lesson. To some extent, Lin Qinghen was a more rebellious person than Yin Jiuxiao, which could be inferred by common sense.
Soon, these people became obedient.
Only when they got closer did Lin Qinghen see what kind of people they were. Most of them were young people, and they looked like they could make decisions. Some of them were even dressed up and looked too ostentatious.
Lin Qinghen frowned, and for a moment he didn't understand.
The leader of the group saw Lin Qinghen standing in the center at a glance, but he did not recognize him immediately. Many people in the large mercenary group did not come to the vicinity of Tear City until the ruins period, and had never seen Lin Qinghen. It was normal for them to recognize him with their own eyes after only hearing other people's descriptions and rumors.
Many people were startled and looked at Lin Qinghen, wondering who this person was? Where did he come from? How did he get there first
With such a face, why haven’t I heard of it before
"Young Master Yin, long time no see." Someone wanted to go up and talk to Yin Jiuxiao, but was stopped. He could only look at Lin Qinghen and asked tentatively, "Who is this?"
Lin Qinghen felt that most of the eyes in the room were on him, and the scrutiny was somewhat strange: "I posted the message to invite you all here, do you recognize who I am?"
When that person heard the reply, a look of shock suddenly appeared on his face. The mercenaries who came here looked much the same, with smiles still frozen on their faces.
"Are you Lin Qinghen? Why, why do you look like this?"
It was said that it would look like an evil ghost and be scary at the first sight.
Lin Qinghen:
He knew that some people's dreams of taking shortcuts to climb the ladder were shattered on the spot. He just felt that these people had been famous for a long time, so why were their focus so crooked? He was very serious about this point. He brought a bunch of inexplicable people and they paid attention to what he looked like.
Lin Qinghen originally planned to cooperate with them as long as they were obedient, but after seeing this, he deducted a few points from his first impression and labeled them as "unreliable".
Although he needed to win them over, Lin Qinghen now didn't need to speak in a low voice to anyone. If he was not satisfied, he could just kick someone out. No one dared to say a word "no".
The Immortal Vine can promote cooperation, but it can also become a threat to interests.
Yin Jiuxiao was much more perceptive. He had experience, and as soon as he saw the person inside and the look in his eyes, he immediately guessed what was going on.
But after these people entered this place, the young people whose original target was him mostly set their eyes on Lin Qinghen.
