"Then this little brother will go in first." Zheng Tianqing nodded and turned to walk toward the bamboo house.
In fact, he was not confident. If he was blocked by the invisible true energy again like last time, he would lose all his face. He would not be able to maintain his image as a trusted aide in the black bamboo hat in front of Hu Ling and lang Qi.
Fortunately, the two masters in the bamboo house gave him face this time and didn't make a move on him. It seemed that they really treated him as a little brother, which made him feel much more at ease.
When they arrived at the door of the bamboo house, Zheng Tianqing bowed respectfully and said,""Your Excellency, your subordinate, Zheng Tianqing, requests an audience!"
"Come in!" The indifferent voice of the man with the black bamboo hat rang out from inside. At the same time, the bamboo door opened by itself without any wind. However, Zheng Tianqing, who was standing at the door, could not see the situation inside.
It was not until he stepped through the bamboo door that he felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. There were still two people in the bamboo house, the black bamboo hat and the red Bamboo hat. Even their positions had not changed. Zheng Tianqing wondered if they had been sitting there all these days.
"Your subordinate Zheng Tianqing greets the two lords!" Zheng Tianqing's mind was spinning with thoughts, and his body had already automatically begun to bow.
"Zheng Tianqing, do you have any news today?" The man in the black bamboo hat casually waved his hand and asked indifferently.
"Master, Elder Green Dragon sent a spirit beast Master called Xiong Bao to take the pills Lin Yi and the others made. They had a little verbal conflict because of the quantity, but they didn't fight. Other than that, they didn't make any other moves. " Zheng Tianqing replied respectfully. He was considering whether he should tell the people with the black bamboo hats about the Great Fire Lion.
He couldn't let Green Dragon know that the fire Lion was on good terms with Lin Yi, or he'd lose his value. As for black bamboo hat's side, it didn't seem like a big deal to tell them. At most, they'd know what to do.
"Is there anything else?" The man with the black bamboo hat didn't seem to be interested in such a small matter. He didn't even have the thought of asking for details.
"My Lord, there is a new guard leader, Hu Ling, outside. Lang qiyou probably told him to join you, so he came to me and asked me to introduce him to you. Do you have any objections?" Zheng Tianqing had no intention of taking credit for this matter, so he described the facts objectively.
Lang Qi was recommended by Zheng Tianqing, so no matter what credit lang Qi had, he would naturally have a share. He did not know if Hu Ling's sudden request to join was a blessing or a curse. Zheng Tianqing knew that it was the right thing to do to shirk his responsibility.
"The new head of the guards. Let him come in and have a chat. If he is sincere in serving us, he will be of some use!" The man in the black bamboo hat nodded slightly. He treated Hu Ling better than lang Qi. At least he was willing to give him a chance to meet.
Zheng Tianqing did not ask the stupid question of whether to let lang Qi in. The black bamboo hat man only said to let Hu Ling in, which meant that lang Qi was not qualified enough. He would only embarrass himself if he said more.
"Yes, this subordinate will let Hu Ling in!" Zheng Tianqing replied and turned to call Hu Ling in.
When Hu Ling heard the call, he walked in with a smile and cupped his fists respectfully.""Greetings, my Lords. I'm hu Ling. I'm willing to contribute a little under your command. I hope you can take me in."
Hu Ling's words could be said to be humble. According to his status in the spirit beast clan, there was no need for him to be so humble. Zheng Tianqing, who was standing aside, felt that Hu Ling seemed to have some kind of plan.
"You're being too serious. We were allies with the spirit beast clan to begin with, and we're now in your territory. It's great that you're willing to help us, chief Hu. We welcome you very much. We'll have to trouble you in the future!" The man with the black bamboo hat spoke to Hu Ling in a very gentle and polite manner. There was even a hint of a smile in his words, which made Zheng Tianqing very surprised.
It was Hu Ling who had come to offer his services to the man with the black bamboo hat. Why was he suddenly so polite? It was completely different from his previous style!
Although he found it strange, Zheng Tianqing was not stupid enough to ask. He stood aside and pretended not to hear anything.
Hu Ling chuckled and flattered the man in the Black Hat. Junior Brother Pao, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said,""Zheng Tianqing, tell me in detail about the small conflict you mentioned just now. Why did it end up like this?"
"Brother Pao, why are you suddenly interested in this? It's just a verbal conflict, is there a problem?" The man in the black bamboo hat asked curiously. Was there a need to bring up such a small matter?
"Senior brother, don't you feel curious? Why would a spirit beast get into a verbal conflict with Lin Yi? If they knew how important Lin Yi was, there wouldn't be any conflict, but since it happened, the spirit beasts wouldn't let it go easily. Aren't you curious about the reason behind this?" Junior Brother Pao chuckled and explained his analysis in a calm tone.
The man in the Black Hat didn't care about this at first, so he didn't think about the reason. But after hearing what Junior Brother Pao said, he felt that it was indeed a little strange.
"Zheng Tianqing, tell me what happened in detail." Since he had doubts, the man in the Black Hat motioned for Zheng Tianqing to explain. It just so happened that Hu Ling was the head of the guards, so he gave him a few words of advice.
"Yes, my Lord! That spirit beast Master, Xiong Bao, expressed his dissatisfaction because of the lack of pills. LAN Guzha, who was beside Lin Yi, couldn't hold it in and argued with him. Both parties got angry, and Xiong Bao was about to fight, but a fire Lion Guard stopped him. After a few words of persuasion, both parties calmed down and let the matter pass. "
"Fire Lion guards? What's the background of this spiritual beast? how can it stop the two parties that are about to fight?" Junior Brother Pao looked at Hu Ling with interest. As the leader of the guards, he should have some understanding of his men.
"I know. This is a great fire Lion from the secular world. He was originally assigned to guard the ruins in the oduo cultivation city. Recently, there wasn't enough manpower, so he was transferred here to help. This guy's strength is low and he just broke through to the mysterious Ascension stage not long ago. By right, he shouldn't have the ability to stop Xiong Bao. It seems that he's quite smart." Hu Ling did not think much of it and casually commented on the Great Fire Lion.
Junior Brother Pao seemed to nod slightly, his Red Bamboo hat slightly shaking.
"Lin Yi's luck is pretty good. If Xiong Bao got into a fight with them, the spirit beast clan would just kill him. That'd save them a lot of trouble." The man in the black bamboo hat laughed. He'd always wanted to use the spirit beast clan to get rid of Lin Yi. It would be best if he could do it without interfering.
