Chapter 40 The cruel truth and budding affection
Xiao Chen had just asked, but he had no hope that Ling Shuiyan could answer him. After all, Xiao Chen had asked before, but Ling Shuiyan coldly changed the topic.
Xiao Chen thought this time would be the same result, but Ling Shuiyan's answer made Xiao Chen stunned.
Ling Shuiyan said in a faint tone: "Maybe you will never understand how strong the spiritual storm that will hit will be when a silly boy is willing to sacrifice his life for another silly girl."
Ling Shuiyan changed her cold and ruthless attitude. Although she was not as gentle as jade when she said this, she also had a bit of tenderness from her daughter's family. Her already gorgeous and beautiful face quietly melted a little at this moment. The beauty that was simply beautifying the whole country, making people feel rippling.
At this moment, Xiao Chen felt a violent shock in his heart, as if a tiger had woken up in his heart, and an inexplicable impulse appeared in his heart, wanting to express the suppressed emotions in his heart.
"What does Senior Sister Ling mean? Did I imply that in order to help her pick a golden lotus, I opened her girl's heart?"
Even though he was excited and had a tiger-like impulse, Xiao Chen didn't dare to say this. Ling Shuiyan was not the kind of shy little girl at all. She was a completely cold beauty, and her status was outrageous. She was just a great elder of the first and second departments of the sect.
In comparison, Xiao Chen's status is as lowly as an ant, and his strength is even worse than 100,800 miles. The gap between Xiao Chen and Ling Shuiyan is like the gap between a swan and a sparrow.
Will the swan fall in love with the sparrow? Do the sparrow dare to tell the swan that you love me, right?
It is certainly impossible.
So Xiao Chen naturally didn't dare to say it out loud. What if he guessed wrongly and annoyed Ling Shuiyan?
Therefore, I could only guess in my heart, but this time Ling Shuiyan was not that cold, which made Xiao Chen's heart really warm, as if he had seen some kind of hope.
"By the way, why did you appear in the Blood Sea Demon Cave? This kind of place is not what you should come from, and you can't come from." Seeing that Xiao Chen did not respond, Ling Shuiyan casually changed the topic and did not mention the past.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen told all the things, but Ling Shuiyan was very calm when she listened. Even when Xiao Chen talked about the tragic street battle like hell, Ling Shuiyan was not moved at all.
What moved Ling Shuiyan was that when Xiao Chen talked about obtaining the Purple Flame Fire Lotus and Xiao Dudu in the Star Flow Crater, Ling Shuiyan asked a few curious questions and gave up.
As for Zhao Wumian, Ge Xiangqian, Zhong Chongshan and others seemed to be ants in Ling Shuiyan's eyes, and they had no intention of caring them at all. They would die if they died.
"Do you want to be an inner disciple?" Ling Shuiyan said with great leap after listening to Xiao Chen's story.
Xiao Chen only felt that when talking with Ling Shuiyan, he had to concentrate on his conversation, otherwise he would miss the key words if he was not careful.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen said, "Of course I want to do it, but senior sister, you have helped me a lot. This time I want to rely on my own efforts. As a warrior, if you can't support yourself and rely on others everywhere, you will not be able to go far in the long road of martial arts."
When Ling Shuiyan heard this, her mouth moved, as if she was laughing, but she was not talking, and nodded.
The topic seemed to have ended here. Xiao Chen and Ling Shuiyan were not talking until Yue Ling, who was seriously injured, woke up and said something, which made everyone feel oppressed again.
Yue Ling said in a weak voice: "Xiao Chen, you idiot, Senior Sister Ling is here now, and you won't ask her for help. The matter of killing Zhong Chongshan has been exposed, and his cousin Ge Xiangqian will definitely not let you go."
Hearing this, Xiao Chen remembered this important link. Although Ge Xiangqian was injured by Ling Shuiyan, Ling Shuiyan did not kill him directly. Once he returned to the sect, with Ge Xiangqian's position, it would be difficult for Xiao Chen to be as simple as eating and drinking water.
Xiao Chen's brows frowned. Unfortunately, he was so full that he said just now that he was too full and said confidently that he would not help Ling Shuiyan. Why was he talking at this moment?
Ling Shuiyan seemed to be interested in trying Xiao Chen's determination, and had no intention of expressing her opinion. She was silent and urged her mount to walk, cold as ice.
Xiao Chen was not that kind of niggas. Everything was relying on others. He thought in his mind: "Ge Xiangqian ate Ling Shuiyan's palm, and he might have to recover for ten days and half a month when he went back. But at that time, I could completely break through the Ninth Heaven of Condensation with the help of Purple Flame Lotus Seeds. Even if I was not his opponent, I would have enough self-protection. Once I advance to the inner sect and have equal status, he would not do anything to me."
Xiao Chen thought about it secretly, his mind gradually calmed down and his eyebrows stretched. In the eyes of others, this matter was no longer taken to Xiao Chen.
Ling Shuiyan saw all Xiao Chen's performance in her eyes, and was secretly curious in her heart, not knowing what reliance was for the confidence that Xiao Chen suddenly burst out.
After all, Ling Shuiyan didn't know that Xiao Chen had so many purple flame lotus seeds. Xiao Chen just mentioned it to her and did not say how many she had.
This kind of Xiao Chen's behavior of being calm in the face of major events made Ling Shuiyan look at Xiao Chen with admiration, causing Xiao Chen to rise to another level in Ling Shuiyan's impression.
"By the way, Senior Sister Ling, who is that Senior Brother Ye?" Xiao Chen felt that no one was talking a little boring, so he found a topic to start talking.
Hearing this, Ling Shuiyan glanced at Wang Dong and said lightly: "Do you feel that Ye Feilong taught Yao Yi a lesson, and he is righteous. Do you think he is just, so you are interested in him?"
"No!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Oh?" Ling Shuiyan couldn't help but look at Xiao Chen in surprise. Ling Shuiyan naturally knew Ye Feilong's character, so she was not cold or warm to the senior brother.
But Xiao Chen had just met Ye Feilong, so how could he be so sure?
"I feel that this Senior Brother Ye is not fair. He is clearly favoring Yao Yi. Although he slapped Yao Yi in the end and puzzled me, his intuition told me that this person is cunning and insidious." Xiao Chen expressed his feelings.
"You have a little bit of ability to recognize people." Ling Shuiyan was also admired by Xiao Chen's gaze, and then said: "However, you can't get in touch with people of this level. When you become a core disciple one day, you are considering faction issues."
After Ling Shuiyan finished speaking, she stopped talking, but she had already revealed that there was open and secret struggle within the Izumo Sword Sect, and undercurrents were surging.
Along the way, Xiao Chen and Ling Shuiyan talked about several topics, and unknowingly, they talked about this mission again.
Xiao Chen said with confusion: "Sister Ling, according to my speculation, the core disciples should set out first for this mission, but why don't you take away the map first, but let the outer disciples protect it. And when the outer disciples are almost wiped out, you just took action to get the map. Isn't this a lot of extravagance?"
"This is called training. A sect is like a sea, and disciples are the fish among them. The top leaders are the fish farmers. They will not only supply nutrients to big fish without caring about small fish. Otherwise, the sea will be empty and the fish will perish. A sect will have no follow-up power and will become a lower-level sect, or even die."
"But... is this experience too cruel? Almost all the outer disciples were wiped out!" Xiao Chen still felt unbelievable.
Ling Shuiyan smiled indifferently and said, "I have died a little longer. You should know that there are tens of thousands of outer disciples of the Izumo Sword Sect. These disciples are not used to protect the mountain gate, but to choose excellent seeds through experience, so that they can survive and force their potential to become inner disciples."
"And inner disciples will still die in large numbers, and the best disciples will be selected from them to become elite disciples. Elite disciples are the backbone of a sect. The sect will consider their life and death, but it is only considered. The most important ones will always be core disciples. Only when they are promoted to core disciples will the sect pay attention to their lives and cultivate them with all their strength as children, and they will respond to their requests."
"As for other disciples, they are constantly screening objects under the cruel rules, and their lives are like ants. Otherwise, with the more than 3,000 years of history of the Izuyun Sword Sect, how could there be only tens of thousands of outer disciples, thousands of inner disciples, hundreds of elite disciples, and seventy-two core disciples."
Ling Shuiyan said so many things for the first time, which opened Xiao Chen's eyes and made him more clear about this cruel world.
It turns out that in this world, under the Xuanwu people, everything is an ant!
"Where is the war body disciple?" Xiao Chen asked again.
"The war body disciples are the bloodline of a sect, so they will not be ruined at will. Their experience is ten times more cruel than that of ordinary disciples, but they will not have any worries about their lives. The Daluo Palace of the sect is the place where they experience it."
"So, the war body disciples are completely pampered? Without a life crisis, how can they explode their potential?"
"Born in heaven and earth, who can be free from disasters or disasters? The sect has higher requirements for war body disciples! War body disciples must advance to a great realm within one year, otherwise the sect will invest them into the dimensional space, withstood the test of death and killing, and force them to explode their potential, but most of them die in the dimensional space, and few can come out."
"But if you can live from the dimensional space, your cultivation will inevitably improve by leaps and bounds. Now two of the ten core disciples have escaped from the dimensional space."
Ling Shuiyan talked freely. Ling Shuiyan was a very simple person on weekdays, but today it was the first time to clarify the pool of water in the Izumo Sword Sect for Xiao Chen to see.
After many stories about Ling Shuiyan, Xiao Chen's understanding of the Izumo Sword Sect has become clearer. Although there are also records in the "Spirit of Gods and Demons", compared with what Ling Shuiyan said, it is clear that details are clearly seen.
Today, Ling Shuiyan analyzed this and explained it thoroughly to Xiao Chen. It was not a whim. It was a whim. The original intention was to take care of Xiao Chen, so that Xiao Chen knew how many bends there were in the road ahead and should not take the wrong path.
In fact, after all, Ling Shuiyan still couldn't let go of her heart when she was Cinderella. There was a silly boy who was willing to sacrifice his life to help her. That figure was indelible in her heart.
Xiao Chen is not a fool, so he can naturally understand it, but he can never break the membrane because of the gap in status and strength.
Xiao Chen said in his heart: "When I am Tongxuan in the future, I will definitely take her as my wife!"
