Chapter 316 - To You
"But how much longer do we have to endure? At this rate, we will be abandoned, or even attacked, sooner or later." Lu Da looked up at Ling Xiao and said with a sorrowful expression. He felt like crying but had no tears.
Ling Xiao also completely understood Lu Da's current feelings and emotions, because the things that had happened recently were truly a little complicated, and he was powerless to stop Lu Da and the others. Gradually, Lu Da and the others would slowly lose confidence in the Huashan Mountain, and when that time came, Huashan Mountain would truly be finished.
Therefore, Ling Xiao would definitely not let such a thing happen.
Ling Xiao waited until Lu Da's emotions stabilized a little before he spoke and comforted him: "Although I will have to suffer for a period of time, I will guarantee to you that the Huashan Mountain will not be bullied by anyone, and that there will be no annexation by any other powers."
"Sect Leader, is that true?" When Lu Da heard this, he looked up in disbelief.
"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?" Ling Xiao nodded, and said with a serious expression.
Regarding Ling Xiao's words, Lu Da never doubted them, because the promises that Ling Xiao had made to them were all fulfilled, without any breach of promise. This was also why Ling Xiao was currently the target of respect and admiration for the disciples of the Huashan Mountain.
There was a good saying that the eyes of the masses were bright, and they would easily know who was most suitable to be the leader of the Huashan Mountain.
"At the moment, many disciples in the Huashan Mountain are very worried about the future of the Huashan Mountain. Most of them wanted to become stronger so they joined the Huashan Mountain, and there are also some disciples who want to find a safe shelter. In short, they all have the will to fight for the Huashan Mountain, as long as they have enough hope." Lu Da clasped his fists and said.
"I will definitely give you all the hope you want." Ling Xiao said indifferently, his expression was stern and serious.
Lu Da stood up and walked to the side, bowing to Ling Xiao with a respectful expression as he said: "Listen to Sect Leader Ling's words, I will definitely pass them on to Huashan Mountain's people."
Seeing that, Ling Xiao laughed and nodded: "Since it's like this, then I'll be troubling you, go."
"Yes, Sect Leader!" Lu Da bowed again, turned around, and walked out. As he walked out, his expression relaxed a lot; perhaps it was because of Ling Xiao's promise.
After Lu Da left, Ling Xiao got up and walked over to the window, quietly looking at the empty courtyard. Not only was this place swept dry and tightly, there were also people who had tidied up the already desolate flower beds, and planted many beautiful and fresh flowers.
Needless to say, this should be Yue Lingshan's intention, because she had always felt that Ling Xiao's residence was too cold and heartless, without the slightest bit of anger.
Giving rewards to flowers and sipping tea seemed to be extremely comfortable, but in Ling Xiao's heart, he was pondering over every plan for the next step.
The Mount Song would definitely come to stir trouble, but not so brazenly. Ling Xiao would also definitely come down the mountain, and before that, he would need to show some restraint. At the very least, the Mount Song would not be so easily bullied.
Most importantly, let the world know that although the new Sect Leader of the Huashan Mountain was young, he was strong enough and was not someone they could look down upon.
After drinking the cup of tea, Ling Xiao's slightly furrowed brows relaxed, because he had already thought of a perfect plan. Next up, all he had to do was act according to the plan.
After putting down the teacup, Ling Xiao left the room, preparing to look for Ning Zhongze.
When he arrived at Ning Zhongze's residence, he discovered that Ning Zhongze was busy with matters of the Huashan Mountain. Although it seemed to be very busy, it did not have any messy or skillful feelings. It was as if this was not the first time Ning Zhong had been doing this.
Ling Xiao watched from the side for a long time, but did not finish his work. Perhaps, he thought that it was because he had made Ling Xiao wait for too long, but Ning Zhong put down the document in his hands, raised his head and said: "Sect Leader Ling, I am really sorry.
After Ling Xiao heard this, he shook his head and said: "Lady Ning, you don't have to worry about me.
"Then I ask Sect Leader Ling to rest by the side for a while, I need to finish these urgent matters as soon as possible." Ning Zhong said apologetically.
Ling Xiao nodded, and said: "Alright."
After he finished speaking, Ling Xiao walked over to a table and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea-water, and quietly watched Ning Zhongze busy himself, and from time to time, servants would rush in, either with new documents or signed documents.
Although Ning Zhongze had said to hurry up, Ling Xiao still had to wait for an entire hour and an half.
"Sect Leader Ling, I am so sorry to have made you wait so long." Ning Zhong gave a bow and blamed himself.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao gave Ning Zhongze a few times the tea-water, and said: "Lady Ning, you are so busy, and it is also for Huashan Mountain, I will not disturb you, and naturally it is also for Huashan Mountain, what apologies?"
Hearing this, Ning Zhongze's expression calmed down a little. He took the tea-water from Ling Xiao's hands and said: "Thank you, Sect Leader Ling, for your concern."
"I can see that you are very skilled in handling these documents. It seems that you often do these things." Ling Xiao said with a faint smile.
Upon hearing this, Ning Zhongze let out a heavy sigh, and said: "This is also a helpless action, although I really want to help Huashan Mountain make a contribution, but as a woman, thinking about things is somewhat indecisive, and born to be inferior to a man, it's a pity, that Yue Buqun is selfish, and doesn't care about Huashan Mountain at all, and can only come."
"Over time, I learned how to deal with it. Although it was not a stunning feat, it was at least able to be arranged without incident. At least, it was barely able to handle it." Ning Zhongze added.
Ling Xiao laughed: "It's already extremely difficult for a woman to be able to do all this, not to mention having to deal with those sinister and vicious outsiders, she truly is worthy of being called a heroine amongst women, all these years, I think she has dealt with things that make men's heads hurt, if I had wine right now, I would really have respected you."
When Ning Zhongze heard this, he said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's all because of experience that makes perfect. If you have more experience, you will become more proficient. It's not as powerful as Sect Leader Ling said."
If that's the case, then this Huashan Mountain has no use for you, and has long played with eggs. Come, I will use tea in place of wine to toast you! Ling Xiao raised his glass and said.
