Chapter 401 - Guests from the Wang Family
Ling Xiao walked out of his room and went to the front yard for a walk. The morning air was exceptionally fresh, suitable for doing exercises.
But before Ling Xiao even had the chance to complete a set of practice, he heard hurried footsteps approaching from afar. Hearing the familiar footsteps, Ling Xiao did not turn back as he knew who it was.
"Sect Leader Ling, Sect Leader Ling, guess who's here!" Wang Yuanba jogged all the way to the front of Ling Xiao while panting slightly.
With Wang Yuanba's strength, he naturally would not be panting for breath just because of a short journey. It was clearly because he had encountered something that made him so excited that he could not control himself.
"Of course it's the person you want to meet." Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Wang Yuanba and gave a slight smile before he continued with his own actions.
Seeing Ling Xiao being so calm, Wang Yuanba could not help but be surprised, "Sect Leader Ling, these two people are the key to our plan, you do not seem to care at all."
Ling Xiao did not answer, but instead slowly practiced all of his actions before turning around. "So what if you've come, this reputed one knew about you in advance, what's there to be surprised about?"
Hearing this, Wang Yuanba couldn't help but shiver, "So that's how it is. After all, Sect Leader Ling is really strong, to actually invite this sovereign of the Old Man Green Bamboo over. This old man had even planned to find an opportunity to pay a visit."
"Hehe, by the time you come to visit, Old Man Green Bamboo will already be living in someone else's home." Hearing this, Ling Xiao could not help but snort coldly.
Seeing that, Wang Yuanba immediately laughed: "Sect Leader Ling is right, it's all thanks to Sect Leader Ling, if not, how would I even be able to touch this great Buddha."
Although he praised Ling Xiao on the surface, at this moment, Wang Yuanba could finally see clearly that the real Buddha was not Old Man Green Bamboo, but Ling Xiao. It was a pity that Wang Yuanba did not see clearly in the beginning, as his mind was filled with the desire to get Old Man Green Bamboo.
And in his heart, Wang Yuanba was prepared to earnestly follow Ling Xiao, to grasp at his last opportunity before he left the Luoyang City.
"You came here to let me pass, right?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
Wang Yuanba rubbed his hands together, then nodded his head and said: "That's right, that's right, you invited this man over, I'm afraid that I won't be able to control him, and would need your help."
"Mm, let's go. Without me here, they might not even pay attention to you." With that, Ling Xiao walked out of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Upon seeing this, Wang Yuanba followed closely behind.
As he neared the Great Assembly Hall, Wang Yuanba's mood became even more agitated. He knew that no matter what the result would be today, there would be a large change within Luoyang City.
Pushing the door open, Old Man Green Bamboo sat at the side while Hu Chong stood behind him like a loyal guard.
"Old Mr, sorry for the wait." As the master of a Wang Family, of course Wang Yuanba had to take the initiative and speak up.
In the face of Wang Yuanba's greetings, Old Man Green Bamboo appeared to be extremely cold and indifferent, as he simply nodded in response.
Wang Yuanba was already used to it, he rubbed his nose and did not care, but after a while, he opened up a path, allowing Ling Xiao to walk in.
Seeing Ling Xiao's arrival, Old Man Green Bamboo's expression finally eased up and revealed a smile.
"Sect Leader Ling." Old Man Green Bamboo took the initiative to stand up and walk towards Ling Xiao.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao also smiled back, "Old Mr, you guys came too early, the people who are selling breakfast on the streets are probably not done yet."
"Thinking about the mission given by the Sect Leader Ling, this old man isn't in the mood to wait, so I hurried over." Old Man Green Bamboo shook his head and said.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao could not help but laugh lightly: "Old Mr, you are overthinking it, the matter is not that complicated, please listen to what I have to tell you."
Hearing that, the Old Man Green Bamboo hurriedly said: "Then quickly take a seat, tell us about it."
Upon seeing this, Wang Yuanba immediately went forward to pull up a chair for Ling Xiao.
When Hu Chong saw this, he was shocked to the point that his eyeballs nearly popped out of their sockets.
Wang Yuanba was, after all, the Clan Master of Wang Jia, and had an extremely high position within the Luoyang City.
Not knowing the same thing, Wang Yuanba felt the same in his heart. The moment the Old Man Green Bamboo, whom he could not get rid of, saw Ling Xiao, he immediately revealed a smile.
They were both people, but why was there such a huge difference?
After everything was ready, Ling Xiao looked at Wang Yuanba and the Old Man Green Bamboo, and said: "This time, we didn't invite the Old Man Green Bamboo here to play around, what should this mean for all of you?"
The Old Man Green Bamboo didn't say anything, but Wang Yuanba nodded his head vigorously. He had stayed in the Luoyang City the longest, so he understood the rules here.
"I know, all the large and small forces in the Luoyang City are paying attention to the movements of the Old Mr, and now that we have come to the Prince Mansion, everyone will naturally have some ideas, and think that the Old Mr has chosen us." Knowing that the Old Man Green Bamboo was invited by Ling Xiao, and that the Old Man Green Bamboo treated him with great respect, Wang Yuanba finally relaxed a lot when he spoke. It was obvious that it was because of Ling Xiao's presence.
Hearing this, Old Man Green Bamboo uncomfortably frowned, but the truth was indeed like that.
"Mm, we all know that you won't say such useless things." Ling Xiao spoke in an impolite tone as he mocked Wang Yuanba.
Following that, Ling Xiao coughed lightly and continued, "But that is not the point. The point is what will happen when Old Mr comes to the Prince Mansion, everyone knows what kind of power the Old Mr will bring, so in order for the other powers to survive, there must be an alliance between all of them."
Hearing that, Wang Yuanba's face immediately became serious, "So Sect Leader Ling was talking about this. If you didn't tell me, I really wouldn't have thought of this."
"Sect Leader Ling, if the remaining forces form an alliance, it would be an extremely terrifying power. Since this is the Luoyang City, even if you and this old man were to inject a new power, they would not be able to withstand it." Old Man Green Bamboo said with a serious expression.
Even with the Sun Moon Divine Hall supporting him, the Old Man Green Bamboo would not be able to mobilize too much power, it was the same for Ling Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao said unhurriedly: "The other party can form an alliance, but why can't we? The reason I'm telling you all now, is because I hope you can make preparations in advance."
"How should we deal with this?" Wang Yuanba subconsciously asked, obviously not having the slightest clue to solve this problem.
Ling Xiao helplessly looked at Wang Yuanba, and said: "If they can form an alliance, why can't you all form an alliance? In our hands, we have a trump card that everyone knows about."
