The Fifth Elder, who also felt angry and suffocated, glared back and immediately told the headmaster Zhang Shanxing to shut up in two words and sit on the chair to sulk.

Zhang Lingyun, who had been expecting to see this scene, didn't want this evil fire to arouse him, so he stood silently with his head lowered.

But as time passed slowly, everyone remained silent. Zhang Lingyun, who stood until his legs were numb, couldn't hold on any longer, so he had no choice but to think of ways to relieve it.

Zhang Lingyun used the action of reaching into his arms, gently twirling his fingers, took out a dozen banknotes from the storage ring, and quietly stuffed them into the hands of the relatively calm fifth elder.

"I didn't expect that among us poor cultivators, there could be a wealthy man who spends money like water!?"

"Travelling in the rivers and lakes, performing chivalrous acts of justice, gifts from believers should be regarded as merit!"

Although Zhang Lingyun moved very slowly, in this deliberately silent environment, he still attracted everyone's attention. As soon as the headmaster Zhang Shanxing opened his mouth, the fifth elder choked him and answered.

"Master, the second elder, the fifth elder, and the disciples want to continue participating in the competition!"

Not wanting to pay attention to the bickering behavior of these two old boys, Zhang Lingyun waved his hands and bowed, directly revealing the important purpose of his trip.

"Ling Yun, do you know that our 'Zhengyi Sect' has been eliminated? Alas! First let's talk about whether you can continue the competition. If that little old man really agrees, you will face a situation of one versus five!!"

Faced with such a whimsical request from his nephew, the second elder Zhang Shanyuan was so shocked that he jumped up on the spot, stared into Zhang Lingyun's eyes, and waved his arms to explain to him the powerful relationship.

"What? My child... you don't even have a fever? Why are you talking in your sleep in broad daylight!?"

The fifth elder, Zhang Shanyi, came to Zhang Lingyun in two steps, raised his hand and put it on his forehead to confirm whether the man was healthy now.

"Don't care what those brothers and sisters say! We all know why you failed to participate, so don't blame yourself for making impulsive actions!"

Seeing the two junior brothers staring at him fiercely, the headmaster Zhang Shanxing also spoke words of persuasion against his will.

But deep down in his heart, he had already begun to think about how to persuade the emperor to agree to Zhang Lingyun's participation, and what the chance of winning would be for this young disciple against a Japanese woman!

"Elders, don't worry. Ling Yun now knows very well what kind of difficulties he will face if he does this, and he also knows that once he takes this step, there will be no way back!

In order not to embarrass the elders, Ling Yun will publicly announce his departure from the ‘Zhengyi Sect’ at the end of the competition!!”

The tribulation monk Prince Dorgon appeared in vain, the junior sister died and everyone in the ‘Zhengyi Sect’ was placed under house arrest.

The various realities made Zhang Lingyun see clearly the humble attitude of Emperor Qian in appeasing and seeking peace with outsiders from foreign countries.

Zhang Lingyun no longer had any illusions about the Qing Dynasty's system. After a night of careful consideration, he decided not to hide anymore. He would use all means to fight against the Chinese people to the end.

"Zhang... Ling... Yun! What do you mean? Do you think I didn't avenge Ling Shuang because I was afraid of the emperor's son!?"

Due to Ling Shuang's death, Zhang Shanxing, who was repeatedly questioned by his juniors and juniors from time to time, saw that his only disciple in the integration stage behaved like this.

The grievances and anger that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart suddenly burst out, and the spiritual power around him was suddenly released. The huge spiritual power pressure of the Dongxu monk was quickly forced towards Zhang Lingyun.

"My disciple doesn't mean that! There are five opponents in the competition. Ling Yun feels that he doesn't have the ability to fight one against five. He may find some foreign aid then!"

Seeing that his master was angered, Zhang Lingyun immediately released his spiritual power to move his body, not wanting to hurt his body that had not yet fully recovered.

Zhang Lingyun obediently hid behind the fifth elder to avoid the pressure, and at the same time explained to everyone in a low voice his possible battle strategy.

"The surname is Zhang! It's almost done! Yes... your daughter is sad and sensitive when she dies, but everyone is equally sad!

Please remember who the culprit is, and don’t use other people’s kindness as capital for your wanton behavior!!”

The fifth elder, who was tightly grasped by his nephew, could no longer bear the willful behavior of his senior brother.

While shouting back at the head teacher, Fifth Elder Zhang Shanyi released a ray of spiritual power that spread, completely enveloping Zhang Lingyun in his protective circle.

"Headmaster, please respect yourself and don't let your junior brother take action!"

The second elder, who also felt that the leader was too self-centered, waved his hand and took out a purple level amulet from his arms, which seemed to indicate that he would attack if the other party disobeyed.

"This kid is going to betray the school! You all have your elbows turned outward, you are stupid... unreasonable!"

As the leader of the faction, Zhang Shanxing reacted quickly. When he saw that the scene had become a one-sided situation, he stopped making unnecessary sophistry and suddenly threw up his sleeves and looked furious.

Seize the importance of what the young disciple said and draw everyone's attention back to Zhang Lingyun, thus diverting everyone's upcoming crusade against him.

"Hmph! As a headmaster, I can't let my disciples do anything unscrupulous. I always think about not hurting my sect. How dare you say that we are... unreasonable!?"

"Zhang Shanyi, what do you mean? Are you trying to fight with me?"

The fifth junior brother's current arrogant and unreasonable attitude is completely different from that of the former junior brother who was obedient and obedient in everything.

I don’t know when, but Zhang Shanxing, who had no sense of existence, became more independent and thoughtful, which really surprised the headmaster Zhang Shanxing.

"Cough, cough, fifth uncle, my body has not recovered yet!"

"Ling Yun, uncle, here is some healing medicine. You can take it and rest first. I still have something to talk about with this stubborn old man!"

Seeing that everything he wanted to express had been conveyed, Zhang Lingyun didn't want to be affected, so he thought of an excuse to leave first.

When the fifth elder turned around, he saw the tiredness on his young nephew's face and gave the senior master a hard look.

He took out the Qiankun Bag from his arms, poured out more than ten bottles and jars and stuffed them into Zhang Lingyun's arms, and gently patted Zhang Lingyun on the shoulder, indicating that the other party could leave first.

"You two talk slowly, and I'll send Ling Yun out!"

Seeing that there were many problems, the second elder simply said hello to the two of them like fighting cocks, and then followed Zhang Lingyun's footsteps and chased them out.

"Good morning, Second Elder!"

"Ling Yun, although your foreign aid is powerful, but its identity is exposed, have you ever thought about what kind of trouble it will bring to you!?"

Zhang Shanyuan waved his hand to support the young nephew in salute, and suddenly opened Zhang Lingyun's collar and looked at the extremely clean skin on his chest.

The second elder Zhang Shanyuan couldn't help but flash in his mind the dragon who had been tortured by him and others for nearly a thousand years, but still refused to give in.

"Although we know that there are mountains of swords and seas of fire blocking our way forward, if no one steps forward to eliminate those wolves, tigers and leopards, everyone will be trapped and die on this isolated island!"

Although Chiyan was not his only trump card, the second elder's guess was correct. Zhang Lingyun expressed his innermost thoughts even if he was wrong to express his determination to face the dilemma.

"If a cultivator cannot stabilize the common people, he will be disgraced by the blessings given by heaven and earth. You can't help me in the battle against Master, but I won't let you face the pressure from all sides alone!

As for those who are afraid of causing the disciples to leave the ‘Zhengyi Sect’, I will pretend that I have never heard of it!!”

Although he had many doubts about this nephew, Zhang Shanyuan could not deny that in the entire 'Zhengyi Sect', Zhang Lingyun was the only one who lived up to his expectations.

Don’t panic when things happen, know how to weigh the pros and cons, and face injustice

He does not provoke others rashly, but he has the courage to resist when others are wronged, which invisibly gives people a sense of security.

"Thank you, Second Elder, for your consideration. It's getting late. Disciple, please leave first!"

Zhang Lingyun never thought that the second elder, who had always been strict and calm, would support such a radical move of his. While his face was full of surprise, he felt a little warmth in his heart.

Zhang Lingyun took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood, said goodbye again, and walked towards Ji'an in the distance.

Looking at Zhang Lingyun's retreating figure, Zhang Shanyuan couldn't help but turn around and look at the courtyard of several other disciples, and returned to his room thoughtfully.

As for the stage of the debate between senior brother and junior brother, it is no longer within the scope of Zhang Shanyuan's thoughts.

"Mr. Zhang...an!"

"I'm just your master's friend. There's no need to be so polite. I have to go out of my way to accompany me to the 'Yunfeng Boudoir'!"

Seeing Ji'an, a soldier from the Yi Kingdom, standing there waiting all the time, and seeing him waving and clenching his fists, lightly beating his chest in salute, as if he was treating Marquis Andeley with a respectful attitude, Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt uncomfortable.

As soon as Zhang Lingyun finished speaking, Ji'an nodded very obediently, waved his hand high above his head and made a few more gestures before taking the lead and leading the way.

The golden light cast by the afternoon sun drives away the flying clouds and fog, covering all objects bathed in the sun with a golden coat, making them appear extraordinarily gorgeous.

"You said that brat has been awake for almost two days and won't let us go over or come to see us. Is something wrong?"

"Bah, bah...! Sister Mao'er, thank you! Shut that stinky mouth quickly!"

Jia Si, who had already calculated the accounts until his head was dizzy, closed his eyes and saw a bunch of numbers. He suddenly raised his resentful face, looked at the thousand-faced sand cat that was chewing an apple, and rolled his eyes fiercely to express himself.

of many dissatisfactions.

"Miss Mao'er, everyone is so busy that their eyes are shining. Let's look at you...it's been half an hour!"

Feng Yu Wanjiu put down the wolf hair in her hand, walked up to Thousand-faced Sand Cat with a slightly swaying figure, snatched the big red apple from the opponent's hand, and dragged the person to the table to settle accounts.

"I'm reporting to the bosses that Mr. Zhang has arrived at the store!"

"Ha! This man can't help but keep talking, saying that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. I want to see Ling Yun, but I don't have time to accompany you here to count this pile of rags!"

Outside the heavy iron door, the familiar voice of the shop steward rang out, and the Thousand-faced Sand Cat jumped up as if it had been granted amnesty, and rushed towards the door happily.

"Broken... paper? Miss Mao'er, each of the pile of ledgers in front of you corresponds to revenue of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver!"

Feng Yu Wanjiu pointed at a few numbers on the white paper at random and looked at the sand cat in disbelief. She admired this silly cat for its ability to talk nonsense in order to evade responsibility.

"I chose this place for safety reasons. After all, there is so much gold and silver, and it is not a joke to lose something!"

Seeing the Thousand-faced Sand Cat twisting the door several times to no avail, Jiasi couldn't help but show an extremely confident smile, but he didn't expect the Thousand-faced Sand Cat to pout and turn around and walk up to him again, spread out his palm and directly ask for the key to the underground fortress.

.

"Hmph! Don't think that the secret room we have now is thicker than the room where the money is stored outside, so I can't get out!"

"well......!"

Jia Si's slightly weak refusal could not sway the Thousand Faced Sand Cat from leaving this place.

When the Thousand Faced Sand Cat tightened its fingers and waved its slender arms in front of Jia Si, Jia Si finally sighed helplessly, got up and went to the iron door to unlock it.

"You should pay more attention to Mr. Zhang and don't make him angry!"
