Chapter 1027: It Was Just (Extra Chapter)

He Lingchuan knew that this was his dedication finally moving them.

Exchanging sincerity for sincerity.

From now on, the spider demon sisters finally truly stood with him.

Thinking of this, he felt relaxed and happy.

Gaining the friendship of two ancient great demons was definitely one of the biggest gains of the night!

After arriving at White Wave Villa, He Lingchuan first changed out of his wet clothes, dried his hair, tidied his attire, and made himself look brand new before going to see Fang Canran.

When receiving distinguished guests, appearance was politeness.

Fang Canran had long been waiting for him, and as soon as He Lingchuan appeared, he handed over a cup of hot tea: "Everything settled?"

"Settled." He Lingchuan slumped into a chair, "A sudden emergency, sorry to let you see such a scene."

"No matter." Fang Canran was just curious, "You've already hidden away on an island in the sea, so why does someone still want to take your life?"

"It has nothing to do with Beijia." He Lingchuan told the truth, "It's the Bailie Sect making trouble."

He gulped down two cups of hot tea.

Traveling through wind and rain, he was indeed full of cold air.

Fang Canran was a bit surprised, but didn't ask further, only saying: "Uncle Master Wang has been waiting for you for a long time."

Tonight's commotion on Suoding Island was so great, with explosions at the pier and fighting on the main road, that it had caused concern among the guests.

Most of the merchants had been pacified, but Wang Xingyi's guards remained on high alert, not daring to take it lightly.

He Lingchuan's previous actions had taken quite a bit of time, and Wang Xingyi had long since finished soaking in the hot spring. His personal attendants had not only changed him into a new set of clothes but also replaced his belt, hanging ornaments, and hat pin.

He Lingchuan only then learned that although he was over seventy, he looked under forty, with a full head of black hair, broad shoulders, and a sturdy build, showing no signs of aging.

After resting, Wang Xingyi was even more refreshed.

He Lingchuan was just about to order a meal, but Wang Xingyi waved his hand: "No rush. You two have finished talking, right?"

He and Fang looked at each other and smiled.

Wang Xingyi going to soak in the hot spring himself was just to give them a chance to meet and talk privately. This old man understood things very clearly.

"We caught up for quite a while, and Brother He also had to clear up some household chores. Uncle Master Wang must have been waiting anxiously, right?"

"In this hurricane weather, what urgent matters could I have?" Wang Xingyi drank some hot tea, "Come, tell me, why was the island so lively today?"

He Lingchuan then briefly explained the mutiny launched by the Bailong people and then said: "Disturbing the distinguished guests is my failure in management; I am ashamed, ashamed!"

"Coveting the Yangshan Archipelago?" Wang Xingyi said immediately upon hearing this, "The vision is not bad, but it's a pity that the ambition exceeds the ability. However, these hundreds of Bailong people clearly arrived not long ago, yet they could move freely on your island during the hurricane. Hmm, either your defense has loopholes, or they have an inside contact here."

"State Preceptor Wang is wise." He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's both."

"Acting in the dark is easy, but receiving moves in the light is difficult, right?"

Wang Xingyi's words had deep meaning, and He Lingchuan and Fang Canran, who had planned the Tiangong and Lingxu incidents, both understood.

They didn't mention a word about the Bailie Sect making trouble behind the scenes.

Even He Lingchuan didn't mention Yu Zecheng and Beijia, and certainly wouldn't bring up the thrilling battle in the eastern part of Suoding Island.

Wang Xingyi didn't make a sound, his gaze sweeping to the side.

He Lingchuan understood and dismissed all the attendants in the hot spring hall.

Only three people remained in the reception hall.

"Your deeds, Songyuan has already told me." Wang Xingyi got straight to the point, "Lingshan rarely pays attention to individuals, but you have achieved what others have failed to plan for decades, and the Elders are very appreciative."

He Lingchuan kept smiling. Others failed to plan for decades? Didn't this "others" refer to Lingshan itself?

"I came to the Yangshan Archipelago today just to ask—" Wang Xingyi was solemn, "Are you willing to serve in the Mou Nation?"

Otherwise, why would a dignified Lingshan decision-maker and Mou Nation State Preceptor specifically run to this godforsaken little island overseas?

He Lingchuan glanced at Fang Canran and saw that he looked proud.

Wasn't I right? Predicting things like a god.

"Serving in the imperial court? Without having to join other Daoist sects or organizations?"

"Whichever Daoist sect you want to join, I can find a way." Wang Xingyi said flatly, "As long as that Daoist sect is not located within Beijia."

Just this one sentence showed Wang Xingyi's power and prestige in the Mou Nation.

In order for his second son, Lu Qinglin, to rise through the ranks, Lu Zhensheng didn't hesitate to pave the way with money, spending more than a million taels?

None of it compared to a single word from Wang Xingyi.

Fang Canran helped from the side: "Uncle Master, you must name a specific official position. A county magistrate is an official, and a prime minister is also an official."

Wang Xingyi asked He Lingchuan: "Do you want to follow the civil or military path?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "State Preceptor Wang's kindness. But I know very little about the Mou Nation and Lingshan, and I only heard about them from Songyuan in Lingxu City for the first time."

Knowing too little, so he was suspicious. This was also human nature.

Neither of them saw that He Lingchuan's hands were tucked into his sleeves, clenched into fists.

Wang Xingyi glanced at Fang Canran, who nodded: "At that time, I tested Brother He, and he looked completely bewildered."

Wang Xingyi then said to He Lingchuan: "Lingshan was founded by immortals, and to this day, immortals still guard it. If the Tiangong knows what you have done, only Lingshan and the Mou Nation in this world can protect your safety."

Both of these sentences were the absolute truth.

"Lingshan not spreading this matter is the greatest protection for me." He Lingchuan said solemnly, "As for joining, allow me to think it over carefully. Of course, I want to be close to Lingshan and the Mou Nation. If you have any matters there, I am willing to serve."

It was said politely, but this kid neither understood nor trusted him, and still wanted to observe and consider more. However, Wang Xingyi wasn't angry at all.

After all, He Lingchuan had once caused a huge disturbance in the Tiangong, which pushed him to the opposite side of Beijia, with almost no room for maneuver.

Being able to do such a big thing showed on one hand that he was stunningly talented and had explosive luck, and on the other hand, wasn't it also youthful arrogance? When he truly realized the power and terror of Beijia and the gods, and when he realized he had no way back, he would naturally seek Lingshan as his reliance.

For thousands of years, many geniuses had been like this, even Panlong City, which was known as the Iron-Blood City more than 160 years ago, had walked this path.

Mountains don't go to people; only people go to mountains. Lingshan had always been there, so what did it have to be anxious about?

Wang Xingyi lightly stroked his beard: "Island Master He, why did you attack the Tiangong?"

This was definitely not something a normal person would dare to do. Even the thought shouldn't exist in one's mind.

Even Fang Canran wanted to know the answer.

"It was just a small misunderstanding." He Lingchuan smiled and glanced at Fang Canran, "It was resolved later, wasn't it?"

Wang Xingyi paused, and only after his mind turned did he savor it, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "You young people!"

Arrogant, too arrogant.

A matter of heaven-shaking proportions, and to him, it was "just"!
