After leaving the bamboo forest, the beautiful Chinese garden-like scene of Xingfu appeared in front of Li Sen at one time.

The sky was still gloomy, and there was a faint feeling of humidity in the air, as if it was really going to rain.

Without saying a word, the two walked along the trail towards the south.

It led to both Ling Huyan's residence and Li Sen's residence, and it was also the closest direction to leave the Star Mansion. No matter where they go, the two are still in the same state.

After walking for a while, Ling Huyan finally broke the silence.

"Li Daoyou, although the transaction was full of twists and turns, the final ending was quite satisfying, I don't know if you are satisfied?" Ling Huyan said with a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Li Sen's face did not change, and he said with a calm expression: "Why do Linghu Daoyou ask such questions? In fact, this transaction has long been expected by you?"

When Ling Huyan heard this, she tilted her head slightly: "Why did Li Daoyou say this?"

"Huh. ”

Li Sen smiled, and then his tone became more and more indifferent, as if there were no emotional fluctuations.

"Nan Xin has always had a close relationship with you, you should have expected what kind of needs she would put forward when she faced Li, right? And when we talked just now, although you looked like you were outside, you still gradually led the topic to the formation exchange. Please forgive Li's words, I'm afraid what you want most is the Heavenly Book Formation. Secondly, maybe it's the simple formation that Li laid out in the deep sea, right?"

Hearing Li Sen's words, Ling Huyan's smiling appearance finally stiffened slightly.

Immediately, Ling Huyan's expression also turned cold.

"Since you guessed it, then there is no need for this palace to hide anything. Li Daoyou, to tell you the truth, whether it is the Heavenly Book Formation of the Qianyuan Sect or the adapted formation that you were later named and asked for by the Great Elder of the Sea Clan, all of them are extremely rare, but they are very useful in fighting against the 'Demon Realm Invasion'. And these are extremely valuable resources for our business alliance. If it can be obtained, Shangmeng is naturally willing to take it all into its own hands at some cost. ”

Li Sen glanced up at the sky, and at this moment, the cool breeze on the horizon hit, and the black hair on Li Sen's sideburns shook endlessly.

Li Sen said lightly: "This matter, is it the meaning of the group of old guys of the Elders' Council?"

Ling Huyan's hair was also a little messy, but she didn't care at all, she just walked slowly beside Li Sen, and said without looking at Li Sen: "It's not what the Council of Elders meant." Although they thought so, how could Wei Rulong and his wife, who were quite powerful in the Council of Elders, agree to this matter? This matter was planned by the palace. But the root cause is that you suddenly asked Bengong to help you build a sea clan shop, and that's why you gave Bengu this opportunity. ”

After a pause, Ling Huyan glanced at Li Sen slightly, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "What's the matter?"

active

"Hehe, do you feel that you are being used? This palace wants to persuade you to see something, you must know that in this cultivation realm that eats people and does not spit out bones, being able to be used by others also shows that you are a valuable person. ”

Ling Huyan didn't seem to care much about this matter.

Li Sen was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, and seemed to agree with Ling Huyan's words.

However, Li Sen obviously also had a trace of curiosity: "Linghu Daoyou, Li is quite curious about one thing. Since the Elders have no intention of forcing Li Sen's two formations, why do you bother to plan these two formations?"

When Ling Huyan heard this, she suddenly smiled slightly.

"Li Daoyou, do you think that even if these two formations fall into the hands of this palace, this palace is not very useful, so you think that this palace is a little nosy?"

Li Sen was silent.

Ling Huyan let out a long sigh.

"Li Daoyou, the bloodiness of the jungle and the competition of interests in the cultivation realm may be far beyond your imagination. Even in a business organization like the Gathering Stars Business Alliance, there are also extremely complicated power relations competing lurking. In this regard, perhaps you have already learned something from Wei Rulong's side. ”

When Li Sen heard this, his face showed a hint of thoughtfulness, but he was still silent.

Ling Huyan didn't seem to intend to hear Li Sen's answer, but said to herself: "This palace is in the Star Gathering Business Alliance, and it can be regarded as staying for about two hundred years, right? The competition for interests and the purge of forces in the business alliance have long been commonplace. So far, not only can he be alone, but he can even retain the position of one of the ten party masters of the business alliance, which can be regarded as a high power in the business alliance. ”

After a pause, Ling Huyan stopped and looked towards a pond full of lotus leaves next to the road, and a pair of eyes seemed to float on those lotus flowers intentionally or unintentionally.

"In the past two hundred years, this palace has also developed some small forces in the business alliance, and even its own family members have also been brought into the Gathering Star Business Alliance. Xiaobai, do you know? She should be regarded as one of the best in my family. Now that he is only in his twenties, he has already begun to retreat and impact the Jindan period. In terms of potential alone, I'm afraid it will far surpass the main palace. ”

"Is it white?"

Li Sen muttered to himself, and immediately stood beside Ling Huyan and looked towards the lotus pond.

At this moment, the sky was getting wetter and wetter, and there were already faint pieces of rain falling down, and there was a slight feeling of coolness on the face.

Ling Huyan hugged her shoulders and continued to speak without concealment: "Some people in the Shang Alliance always think that this palace is in the division of power in the Shang Alliance, and they belong to the line of the Great Elder. Because some of the clansmen in this palace are now working for the Great Elder. For example, Ling Hubai, maybe when she first appeared in front of you, Wei Rulong and those people didn't trust her very much, right?"

Li Sen remained silent.

"Actually, it's not surprising. The Shang Alliance is now mainly divided into three forces, one is the conservative faction led by the Great Elder, and the other is the radical faction led by Wei Rulong. The other is a neutral faction with the rest of the elders on their side. In contrast, the Great Elder advocated peaceful development and maintained the current balance of power in the cultivation realm. Wei Rulong, on the other hand, likes to start wars, plundering the resources of other forces everywhere and strengthening himself. ”

When Ling Huyan said this, she glanced at Li Sen: "Do you remember the war that this Merchant Alliance waged against the Pure Yang Sect when you first joined the Gathering Star Business Alliance?"

When Li Sen heard this, he was moved and nodded slightly.

Ling Huyan smiled and said, "That is a battle led by the Wei family and his son. They took a fancy to several mineral veins on the border between Qi and Song, as well as nearby cultivation resources, so they wanted to fight for them. But the problem is that although it is ostensibly the territory of the Pure Yang Sect, it is actually the junction of the Gathering Star Merchant Alliance and the Yuanling Merchant Alliance, and it can be regarded as a buffer zone between the two Merchant Alliances. And the Yuanyang Sect is a sect that was supported by the Yuanling Business Alliance. Although the master of the sect is only a monk in the late stage of Jindan, with the support of many Keqing elders of the Yuanling Business Alliance, he is very strong. ”

"At that time, in order to encourage the elders of the Shang Alliance to attack the 'Pure Yang Sect', the Wei couple did a lot of lobbying work in the elders' meeting. However, he was rejected by the Great Elder on the grounds that the exercises of the 'Pure Yang Sect' monk were not easy to deal with, and once he started, the casualties were too great. ”

Ling Huyan said: "Although the Wei father and son were reluctant at that time, they could only endure it temporarily. Because with their means alone, it is difficult to swallow the Pure Yang Sect alone. But later, Young Master Wei accidentally picked up such a wonderful person as you. As a result, what kind of red snake was used to forcibly break the practice of the 'Pure Yang Sect'. For this reason, the Great Elder had nothing to say, and in the end, the Council of Elders agreed to the request to fight against the Pure Yang Sect. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Huyan couldn't help but chuckle, as if she couldn't help but laugh at what happened back then.

Li Sen obviously heard the secret news about this for the first time, and couldn't help but show a look of interest.

Ling Huyan's eyes swept over the lotus flowers on the pond, but he saw ripples on the pond, but the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

Looking around, there was a pavilion not far away that sheltered from the rain, called 'Bi Tilt Pavilion', Ling Huyan glanced at Li Sen, and took the lead in walking towards the pavilion.

Li Sen naturally followed.

"In the battle against the Chunyang Sect, although the main palace did not participate, several elders in the Star Mansion participated, and in the end, they all had their own gains. I don't know why, the Yuanling Business Alliance did not show a very tough posture in that battle, so the Pure Yang Sect was quickly destroyed, and its sect leader Pure Yang Zhenren was also beheaded by Wei Rulong on the spot. However, after that, the original relationship could only be regarded as an ambiguous Yuanling Business Alliance, and the relationship with this business alliance completely deteriorated overnight. After that, there was a lot of friction. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Huyan and Li Sen had already come to the pavilion, while Ling Huyan turned around and pointed at Li Sen casually.

"After you advanced to the foundation building period, Wei Rulong's father and son immediately dispatched you to the territory of Wu with a tough attitude, which can be regarded as the inevitable result of the continuous fermentation of the previous incident. It's just that in this dispatch, you have shown amazing ability to do things. Therefore, it has been particularly favored by the Wei father and son, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of effort to focus on maintaining and cultivating you. ”

At this moment, Ling Huyan found a clean place and sat down slowly, and beckoned to Li Sen, motioning for Li Sen to sit beside him.
