Chapter 2547

"Tell me, in such a situation, would I have the mood to think about any love or romance?"

Ye Changqing had thought a lot today, and what he was saying to Qiu Baiyi now were his true feelings.

It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Qiu Baiyi, but that the two of them were wrong from the start. Ye Changqing had no mood to talk about any damn love story; he just wanted to run.

He told Qiu Baiyi truthfully about his past and everything he had experienced on the journey after being abducted by Viper.

After listening to Ye Changqing's words, Qiu Baiyi fell into silence.

Seeing this, Ye Changqing thought there was a chance, that he had finally moved this woman, but the next second, Qiu Baiyi, who had been silent, suddenly looked up and gave Ye Changqing a gentle smile.

"It's getting late, let's rest early."

Hmm???

"I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"I'm talking about serious matters too."

"So all the things I just said to you were just casting pearls before swine?"

"I listened to it all."

"Fine, fine, fine. Even if we are going to rest, you should go back to your own cave dwelling."

"From today on, I'm living here."

"You..."

"During the day, I'll listen to everything you say, but at night, you have to listen to me."

"You... damn it, let me go."

Ye Changqing wanted to say something more, but as a wave of pressure descended, his body was instantly restrained, and then the courtyard was once again shrouded by an array formation.

Qiu Baiyi stood up, picked Ye Changqing up in her arms, and walked toward the room.

And Ye Changqing roared in despair.

"You're not acting right; this is going to cause problems."

"I want to cause problems. I don't believe you'd be willing to abandon your own bloodline."

"You damn..."

The door closed with a bang, and another long night awaited Ye Changqing.

Just when Ye Changqing was calling to heaven and earth with no response, in the Heavenly Martial World, no one noticed that Viper and Li Xue had appeared silently at the Lingtian Pavilion, at Old Man Ling's cave dwelling.

Their arrival wasn't even known to the elders of Lingtian Pavilion; only the three of them knew about it.

In a secret room within the cave dwelling, Old Man Ling looked at Li Xue and Viper before him, smiling kindly.

"The two of you coming to my Lingtian Pavilion so mysteriously, what is the important matter?"

Li Xue's face was incredibly ugly; these days he had really been driven mad by Viper.

This guy didn't look right no matter how you looked at him. Li Xue even suspected that this fellow might be secretly thinking about destroying his Blood King Palace and then going to Qiu Baiyi to trade for Ye Changqing.

It made Li Xue have to carefully watch Viper's every move every day, fearing that this guy would suddenly go crazy.

Life was truly unbearable; otherwise, Li Xue wouldn't have agreed to such an outrageous request, nor would he have appeared here.

Hearing Old Man Ling's words, Viper spoke first.

"We came to cooperate with you."

"Cooperate? But how come I, the old man, don't know what we have to cooperate on?"

The Blood King Palace and Lingtian Pavilion were mortal enemies; let alone cooperation, not fighting on sight was already considered restraint.

However, Viper didn't care about this and continued.

"White Pine Valley, let's join forces and destroy White Pine Valley together."

This was the purpose of Viper and the other coming here. Hearing this, Old Man Ling's smile didn't fade, and the expression on his face didn't change either.

Instead, he said slowly.

"The tripartite balance of power in the Heavenly Martial World has lasted for hundreds of years. All along, although our three major sects have been in constant warfare, it is precisely because of this tripartite balance that this delicate equilibrium has been maintained."

"You want to join forces with me to destroy White Pine Valley, Brother Li Xue, do you think I would agree?"

In Old Man Ling's heart, he naturally didn't want to break this balance; otherwise, he wouldn't have helped Qiu Baiyi last time.

Once the balance of the three major sects was broken, then if White Pine Valley were gone, wouldn't the Blood King Palace be able to deal with Lingtian Pavilion with all its might?

Plus a Viper, Old Man Ling didn't want to create such a situation.

As he spoke, his gaze naturally fell on Li Xue. For the Heavenly Martial World, Viper was always an outsider.

So even though it was he who had been speaking just now and Li Xue had been silent, Old Man Ling knew very well that the person who would make the final decision had to be Li Xue.

And looking at Li Xue's expression as if he had eaten a fly, Old Man Ling had long guessed that Li Xue probably wasn't willing to come this time.

Therefore, in Old Man Ling's view, this cooperation was pure nonsense.

But the next second, Li Xue's answer left Old Man Ling stunned on the spot, the smile on his face frozen.

"I knew you wouldn't agree before I came."

"However, this time you have no reason to refuse."

"We join forces to annihilate White Pine Valley, and all the spoils will be split three-seven, with your Lingtian Pavilion taking seven."

Hmm???

Once these words were out, Old Man Ling was dumbfounded, looking at Li Xue in disbelief, as if to confirm whether he had been possessed or was joking.

Join forces to deal with White Pine Valley, and the final spoils split three-seven, with his Lingtian Pavilion taking seven.

What kind of concept was this? Don't underestimate these two tenths of the profit. With White Pine Valley's massive foundation, let alone two tenths, even one tenth, Li Xue would never have let go in normal times.

One tenth less meant a very obvious difference, and with so many gains, what it meant for the sect's development was self-evident. Could Li Xue not know this?

That was why Old Man Ling found it incredible. ===== CHAPTER 2548 =====
