"Go find a building over a hundred ters tall and jump off the rooftop. I guarantee the shock will reactivate your Dantian."
Upon hearing Ling Gengqiu’s words, Ling Chen was stunned on the sofa. Just now, seeing Ling Gengqiu’s serious expression, he thought he really had a solution. But he didn’t expect him to say sothing so flippant.
"Brother, don’t ss with , please? I’d definitely die if I did as you say."
Ling Gengqiu shrugged and said, "I’m telling the truth. This thod is one hundred percent effective. Whether you’re willing to try it or not is your business." After saying that, Ling Gengqiu ignored Ling Chen and took out his phone to chat with beauties on WeChat.
Sigh!
Ling Chen sighed quietly, looking at the high building not far from the window, thinking to himself, do I really have to jump?
Thump thump thump!
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ling Chen got up and opened it, only to see Tong Zhentian standing outside. "Elder Tong?" Ling Chen was surprised. He didn’t expect Tong Zhentian to co in person, and hurriedly invited him in.
Seeing that Ling Gengqiu was also in the house, Tong Zhentian quickly went up to greet him. "Do you need to talk? Then I’ll go upstairs first." After saying that, Ling Gengqiu, still holding his phone, went upstairs.
"Elder Tong, please sit!" Ling Chen ran to the kitchen, brewed a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Tong Zhentian. "Elder Tong, you could have just called. There’s no need to trouble yourself to co here."
"I heard that you were injured recently and are recovering at ho, so I ca to check on you and discuss a few things."
"Elder Tong, please, go ahead."
"It’s about the Martial Arts Association. Do you rember when we were in Beijing last ti, Qi Yong, the Sect Leader of the Dangyang Sect, ca to us? He wanted to collaborate with Dragon Tiger Hall to oppose the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, but we refused. As expected, after our refusal, Qi Yong went directly to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion to negotiate cooperation."
"And what was the result?" Ling Chen asked, "Considering Su i’s character, she probably wouldn’t agree, right?"
"Well, how should I put it, to my knowledge, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master didn’t agree but didn’t refuse either—just said a lot of vague words. That’s why I ca to discuss this with you. The ambiguous attitude of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion is not good for our Dragon Tiger Hall."
Ling Chen nodded. It was indeed a troubleso issue. During the restructure of the Martial Arts Association, there were nine positions, including the President and Vice President, and Dragon Tiger Hall only secured one position. The Heavenly chanism Pavilion and Qi Yong’s faction each took four. Originally, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion was assured of five positions, but Qi Yong’s sudden involvent disrupted their plans.
Because of Qi Yong, the power in the Martial Arts Association entered a special equilibrium.
"Elder Tong, hasn’t anyone from the Heavenly chanism Pavilion contacted you?" Ling Chen asked.
"No, no one’s approached yet. I’ve heard they’re busy with other alliances, seemingly dealing with sothing major, so they’re not focusing on this at the mont."
Ling Chen knew the situation. The Heavenly chanism Pavilion was collaborating with the military to capture Zhu Hong and Chen Quan. Unfortunately, the mission hadn’t made any progress. Ling Chen had mixed feelings about it. While he wanted Zhu Hong captured, he didn’t want the Heavenly chanism Pavilion to cooperate with the military. Otherwise, with the Pavilion’s dominance, gaining military support would be very troubleso.
"Elder Tong, any movents from Qi Yong?"
"None. Even if there were, I’m unaware. Qi Yong operates cautiously. I’ve had people watch him 24/7, but he only ets with martial artists and doesn’t engage in any wayward behavior."
"If they’re so secretive, we’ll have to wait. In any case, you are part of the Martial Arts Association. Until things beco clear, don’t strain the relationships. We’re at a disadvantage in this situation."
"I understand," Tong Zhentian said. "Actually, the main reason I ca is to ask you to visit the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and have a good talk with Su i."
"Talk? Elder Tong, what do you want to discuss with her?"
"Cooperation. Whether you can establish cooperation or not is secondary. The primary goal is to express your stance and observe Su i’s response. This will let us gauge if she and Qi Yong have any agreents."
Ling Chen nodded. "I understand what you an. Alright! I’ll find ti to visit the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and et so old friends."
"Good, then it’s settled. Rest well at ho and recover quickly; Dragon Tiger Hall still needs you to hold the fort."
After sending off Tong Zhentian, Ling Chen was about to tidy up when Ling Gengqiu ca downstairs.
"Finished chatting?"
Ling Chen glanced at Ling Gengqiu and said blandly, "Brother, why play dumb? Don’t think I don’t know you were eavesdropping upstairs."
Ling Gengqiu chuckled, "Kid, aren’t you going to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion? I’m free anyway, so I’ll go with you, to keep you company."
"You want to go with to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion?" Ling Chen looked at Ling Gengqiu strangely.
"Why are you looking at like that?"
"Brother, be honest, do you have so agenda? As long as I’ve known you, I’ve never seen you this proactive."
"Knock it off; stop asking so many questions now. I’ll tell you when we get to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"You can co, but be careful. I can’t guarantee whether Su Cheng’en and Su He are at the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
Upon hearing Su Cheng’en’s na, Ling Gengqiu’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if contemplating sothing.
"Oh! Brother, there’s sothing I almost forgot to tell you," Ling Chen suddenly rembered. "You once ntioned Su Cheng’en seed strange, not immortal yet living so long, there must be an issue."
"That’s right, I did say that. I’ve fought him several tis, and his body’s quite problematic." Pausing, Ling Gengqiu looked at Ling Chen and asked, "So, do you know why?"
"Honestly, my second brother was once Su Cheng’en’s disciple. He told about Su Cheng’en." Ling Chen then explained everything Xu Ming had relayed to him back then.
"Corpses... Heavenly List experts..." Ling Gengqiu, with one hand stroking his chin, thought for a mont before asking, "Are you sure that’s what he said?"
Ling Chen nodded. "Brother, how could I forget sothing so important? I’m not very knowledgeable in this area. You’ve lived for hundreds of years, so you should understand things like this better."
