Jing Ji couldn't understand and kept saying that Lin Buyan's acting was superb.
Lin Buyan didn't want to waste time talking to Jing Ji, so he flew to Cangjian Peak on his sword, summoned several deans, announced the news that the devil had made a comeback, and activated the inner and outer formations at the speed of light.
The sword lights roared on Beijun Mountain, and Lingxiao Sword Sect entered a wartime state.
Of course, the inner and outer formations were not fully activated. Lingxiao Sword Sect could not afford to waste time defending against thieves for a thousand days only to suffer eight hundred casualties, so Lin Buyan activated part of the formations to ensure that when foreign enemies invaded, the disciples would have time to prepare for a counterattack and would not be caught off guard by a surprise attack.
This behavior and the previous acting skills all came from the heart, adding a touch of officialdom to personal grudges.
It is true that he and Lu Bei had a gentleman's agreement. Under the pressure from the Tianjian Sect, they put aside their personal grudges and put the interests and safety of the Lingxiao Sword Sect first.
But it is important for people to know themselves. Lin Buyan has a clear understanding of himself. He is a worthless gentleman. He goes back on his words, is profit-seeking, has a hidden dagger behind his smile, and is untrustworthy...
It is not an exaggeration to use these words to describe him.
It was the same with Lu Bei. No, Lu Bei was even worse than him. If you cut a heart open, it would be either black or yellow. It was not made of meat at all.
The word "fake" must be added before the gentleman's agreement between the two.
Lu Bei has become successful now. He can fight against and capture the elder of Tianjian Sect, who wields nine swords. God knows what he will do next.
Judging others by his own experience, Lin Buyan estimated that the situation would go smoothly and he could guess the script. The abandoned disciple of the mountain sect returned as a king, exposing the hypocritical mask of the leader in public, holding nine swords in his left hand, his senior sister in his right hand, and stepping on his senior brother, and then led the Lingxiao Sword Sect to ride away on the road of no return.
No, absolutely not!
Even if he, Lin, dies, he would not let Lingxiao Sword Sect fall into Lu Bei's hands and perish for four generations.
Considering that Lu Bei now holds the Great Power, Lin Buyan dared not be careless. He activated the inner and outer double formations, ordered all disciples to strengthen patrols and alerts, and quickly returned to Jing Ji.
"Elder Jing, this information is worth a thousand gold coins. The Lingxiao Sword Sect is grateful to you. For such a great gift, I really don't know how to repay you. How about this, Beijun Mountain is a beautiful and elegant place. Elder Jing, why don't you stay here for a few years? I can also show my hospitality as a host."
Lin Buyan stepped forward quickly and grabbed Jing Ji's sleeve. His enthusiastic attitude made the latter's scalp numb.
"Master Lin, what are you doing? Quickly release... Quickly release..."
Hiss!!
There was a crisp sound, and the scene suddenly stopped. Jing Ji looked at the bare shoulders and fell into silence.
Lin Buyan smiled calmly and stuffed a piece of his sleeve back into Jing Ji's hand, looking as if nothing had happened, as if he had picked up the sleeve on the roadside.
Because of his acting that came from the heart without any acting, Jing Ji decided to trust him again.
The scene was so huge that the entire Lingxiao Sword Sect was mobilized. He had no choice but to believe it.
But first, Jing Ji still had a question in his mind.
"Master Lin, how did you take back the Great Power Heaven when Lu Bei held it that day?" Jing Ji asked with a frown.
On the day when Lu Bei broke through the formation and rushed out of Beijun Mountain, Jing Ji was also on the mountain. In order to conceal his contact with Lu Bei from others, mainly to hide it from Lin Buyan who was full of evil intentions, he led the team away early and did not see the second change of ownership of Dashitian.
Thinking about it now, I feel quite regretful.
As a fellow elder of the Tianjian Sect, Jing Ji was very convinced of Zhan Lexian's swordsmanship. Zhan Lexian, who possessed the Great Might, could not possibly be defeated by Lu Bei. He was defeated and captured, which must have been because Lu Bei had used some shameful means.
Thinking about Lu Bei's previous record of stealing Dashitian, Jing Ji deduced the course of this battle. Zhan Lexian was careless and lost nine swords before being defeated by Lu Bei.
There is another possibility that Lu Bei's rampage in Lingxiao Sword Sect was planned with Lin Buyan, and the two of them put on a show for the Sky Sword Sect.
Lu Bei never lost Dashitian and always held it in his hands. When he was defeated by Zhan Lexian, he summoned him back.
Lin Buyan's alertness just now was extremely real and there was no possibility of him acting. Jing Ji denied this possibility and created another situation.
Lu Bei was still able to control the overall situation, but Lin Buyan and his foolish husband were kept in the dark.
He couldn't figure out which possibility it was for the time being, but he would know when he met Zhan Lexian and asked him.
"I have been carrying the Great Power Heaven with me for many years. It was taught by my master himself, so it has long been recognized. Lu Bei tempted me with the sword, and the Great Power Heaven..."
Lin Buyan paused, a trace of grief and anger flashed in his eyes, unwilling to talk more on this topic: "In short, it belongs to this master, and it belongs to this master after all. That kid is not legitimate, and he won't be able to hold on for long even if he takes over the Dashitian."
Jing Ji nodded. A sword is something that is very close to the body. For a sword practitioner, its status is even higher than that of a dual cultivation partner. It is normal for Lin Buyan to be unwilling to talk about the humiliation he suffered after being bullied by others.
Based on this reasoning, Jing Ji roughly understood how Zhan Lexian was defeated. He witnessed Lu Bei stealing Dawei Tian, Jianxin was severely injured, and he was defeated again and again and finally suffered a miserable defeat.
Having said that, stealing the nine swords that an elder has carried with him for many years is far from being as simple as it sounds. Jing Ji is deeply jealous of Lu Bei's talent in swordsmanship, and is even more saddened by the short-sightedness of the other elders.
What's wrong with giving such an outstanding talent to the princess to sleep with? If he didn't have a daughter, he would have already pimped her out.
Thinking of this, Jing Ji glanced at Zhan Hongqu.
After a moment, he shook his head helplessly. He was too straightforward. Throwing meat buns at a dog will never come back. He can't do business that will lose money.
"Elder Jing, now that we have finished discussing business matters, let's talk about some personal matters."
Lin Buyan grabbed Jing Ji's other sleeve and dragged him to Cangjian Peak. He smiled and said, "I am ashamed to say that I am stuck in a bottleneck in my practice. Elder Jing is at a higher level. Please give me some advice."
"How long will it take?"
"Don't worry, Elder Jing is a very busy man. I dare not delay you for long."
Lin Buyan said modestly: "You know my aptitude. I have relied on my perseverance to cultivate until now. I expect it will take at least three years or at most ten years. The bottleneck will disappear in no time."
Then I might as well join your Lingxiao Sword Sect and become the deputy leader.
Jing Ji shook his head repeatedly, stepped back with all his might, cut off his sleeves and escaped. Lin Buyan was afraid that Lu Bei would go up the mountain to seek revenge, so he wanted to find a cannon fodder in the fusion stage to lead the way. His feelings were understandable, but he chose to refuse.
After defeating Zhan Lexian, Lu Bei's value will rise to a new level. Jing Ji does not want to lose this extremely important chess piece.
But Lingxiao Sword Sect cannot afford to lose anything, especially Lin Buyan, whose reputation in Yuezhou is too important. If we leave it alone, Lu Bei will definitely come to Beijun Mountain if he smells something, and then...
The Lingxiao Sword Sect is so huge, but it was blocked at the mountain gate by abandoned disciples and could not enter or leave. Without authority, how could it command the heroes
For a moment, Jing Ji was in a dilemma, and even had the idea of transferring Mu Lichen to Beijun Mountain to continue being locked up in a small dark room because of his excellent performance during his sentence.
With Mu Lichen's ability and the great power in his hand, he is more than capable of stopping Lu Bei at home.
But it’s not possible. With Mu Lichen in Lingxiao Sword Sect, it is even more difficult to control him.
Besides, Mu Lichen is not Lin Buyan. He has no personal grudge against Lu Bei. What if he succeeds in recruiting the disciple of his last disciple
No, absolutely not!
"Master Lin, please carry this Thousand Mile Talisman with you. If anything happens, please contact me immediately. An elder at the first level of the Nine Swords will come to help." Jing Ji took out the Thousand Mile Talisman and handed it over.
Lin Buyan raised his hand to take it, frowning for a long time, feeling quite dissatisfied that he failed to rescue his mentor.
However, he also knew that the Tianjian Sect would not let Mu Lichen go easily, and relying on Lu Bei as the only hidden danger was far from enough.
"One more thing."
Jing Ji smiled and said, "Master Lin, let's get back to the point. I came here this time and would like to borrow the third-generation disciple Bai Jin to accompany me."
"Where are you going?"
"I am not familiar with the Lu in Ningzhou. If I want to kill the elder and get out safely, I need to find a lobbyist with enough face."
Jing Ji glanced at Zhan Hongqu and said, "As far as I know, if Bai Jin comes forward, there will be no worries in beheading the elder."
“No!”
Lin Buyan flatly refused: "Elder Jing, I am also worried about Elder Zhan's safety, but that guy has been coveting me for a long time. If I go this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back."
"No way, that boy looks quite gentle, he won't use force if he loves me."
Jing Ji lied with his eyes open: "Why don't we give it a try? Maybe Sect Leader Lin is wrong."
"hehe."
Lin Buyan looked up at the sky. No matter what Jing Ji said, no way was no way.
Jing Ji talked for a long time, but Lin Buyan refused to agree. Even when Jing Ji promised to live in Beijun Mountain for three to five months after the matter was accomplished, Lin Buyan still shook his head and refused.
What he was worried about was not that Bai Jin would never come back, but that Bai Jin would not only come back by himself, but also bring someone back with him.
If that were the case, it would be more painful than killing him!
"Master Lin, I don't know whether my father is alive or dead, and I feel uneasy. If I cannot ask Junior Sister Bai to leave, I would like to ask Master Lin to be flexible and allow Junior Sister Bai and I to meet." Zhan Hongqu took a few steps forward and spoke slowly.
Judging from his tired expression, it is clear that his fear is not false.
In fact, upon learning that Zhan Lexian was captured alive by Lu Bei, Zhan Hongqu did not believe it at first. She admitted that Lu Bei's talent in swordsmanship was astonishing, but he had been practicing for too short a time and could never be a match for Zhan Lexian.
Maybe later, but not now.
After confirming the news, he also considered going to find Lu Bei himself. The two of them had a decent relationship and could barely be considered friends.
Soon, she rejected this idea. Her friendship with Lu Bei originated from Bai Jin. Without Bai Jin, Lu Bei would not give her face, and it would be useless for her to go.
It is possible and very likely that they started fighting on the spot because of a disagreement, and then they were given a small dark room and moved next to Zhan Lexian.
"What did you see my disciple do?"
"Please write a letter to Junior Sister Bai."
"This... is not impossible, but I have a more reliable method."
Lin Buyan frowned and looked at Zhan Hongqu. After pondering for a while, he spoke carefully, "Is there a possibility that you can become my disciple's appearance, and when the rice is cooked... then the enemies will become relatives, and the one named Lu will carry the sedan chair to send Elder Zhan back to Tianjian Peak."
"…" x2
Are you so harmful to others? x2
Zhan Hongqu's face turned dark, and Jing Ji's face turned even darker. The two said nothing, but just stared at Lin Buyan.
"I am also thinking about killing the elder. If this is done, the Lus can beat us however they want..."
Lin Buyan murmured quietly, feeling deeply disappointed for a moment that he had not been able to divert the trouble and save Bai Jin.
