"By the way, when I came back before, Yu Xiangtian showed up and asked us a strange question."

Ancestor Chihuo suddenly said: "He asked us if the young master is the illegitimate son of a strong man in the Golden City."

"How did you answer?"

Ling Xiao asked.

"Hehe, although you, Brother Chihuo, am a little slow in turning my head, Qinglian is extremely smart.

She realized in a split second that this might be your plan.

So I gave an ambiguous answer."

Ancestor Chihuo chuckled and said, "She said, 'If you want to know, you can ask our Golden Emperor directly.'

This sentence stopped Yu Xiangtian.

Yu Xiangtian seemed to be very afraid of the Golden Emperor, so he didn't ask any more questions."

"Sister Qinglian answered very well.

This matter is also helpless.

Because you were caught, I have to make them use caution and not dare to attack us easily.

So he lied and said that I was related to a certain powerful man in the Golden City who was second only to the Golden Emperor.

That Yu Xiangtian is really a suspicious person."

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "But no matter how suspicious he is, he can only half-believe something like this that cannot be proven.

As long as we don't do anything too extreme.

He will definitely not harm us."

"It's not actually a lie."

Qinglian Sword Girl suddenly said: "Your grandfather, our master, once had a position in the Golden City.

It’s the National Preceptor!

His status is extremely high, even the Golden Emperor still treats him with respect.

The current Imperial Master was also promoted by your grandfather.

He is as grateful as your grandfather.

So, you don’t actually have to lie.”

"I didn't even know that my backstage was so big?"

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly, his grandfather had really done a lot for him.

Many roads have been paved.

"Don't use this background for now, I still hope I can put more pressure on myself.

This will allow me to devote myself more to cultivation."

"That's natural, but what are you going to do next, young master?"

Qinglian Sword Girl asked.

"Let's get in touch with Sister Jiaojiao first.

I am very confused now, whether she was taken away from her body or whether she chose to change.

Or maybe something else happened to me.

No matter what, I have to help her.

Therefore, I plan to stay at Yu's house for a while.

Then Yu Xiangtian also welcomes me, because I have the Demon Epiphyllum in me, which is something he is looking forward to getting very much."

Ling Xiao said.

"That's all it can do!"

Qinglian Sword Girl nodded.

Judging from the current situation, the Yu family's strength is greater than they imagined.

If you want to grab it head-on, it's simply impossible.

We can only take one step at a time.

"Then when are you going to see your sister?"

Qinglian Sword Girl asked again.

"Yu Qiren told me to go to the Yu family's meeting hall tomorrow.

Because of my special status, I have the status of being both the great backer of Golden City and the younger brother of Ling Jiaojiao.

He also mastered the Demon Epiphyllum.

The senior management of the Yu family all wanted to meet me.

Huh, I know very well what kind of medicine these people are selling."

Ling Xiao said coldly.

"They just want to force you to take out the Demon Epiphyllum on the spot.

Or maybe he came to you in the name of Ling Jiaojiao to ask for the Demon Epiphyllum.

You just need to grasp one principle.

That is, no matter what, the Demon Epiphyllum cannot be given away, and that is enough."

Qinglian Sword Girl suggested.

"Yeah! I understand, this Demon Epiphyllum is a big bargaining chip in my hand!

This bargaining chip is more useful than being a big backer or Ling Jiaojiao's younger brother."

Ling Xiao actually knew it best.

The Demon Epiphyllum is his strongest trump card.

It is a nuclear weapon of strategic deterrence.

The Yu family wants this thing, but they are afraid that he will use it, so they will definitely not provoke him easily.

This is his chance.

"By the way, young master, are you interested in being a demon king for fun?"

Ancestor Chihuo smiled.

"Can the Demon Lord still be played in public?"

Ling Xiao was stunned.

"Of course it's not really a game, after the demon king of the Fengdu Demon Kingdom was defeated.

If this vacancy is left, someone must fill it.

According to the rules of the past.

When the demon king of a certain country dies, it will naturally be replaced by warriors from that country.

But there is an interesting limitation here.

That is, the age of candidates for Demon Lord cannot exceed thirty years old.

The strength cannot be weaker than the ninth level of the divine elixir realm."

"I am old enough, but my cultivation level is not enough."

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Chihuo, it's not like you don't know that I am only at the middle level of the seventh level of the divine elixir realm.

Besides, I am not a warrior from Fengdu Demon Kingdom, so I am definitely not qualified to participate.

However, Chi Niming is qualified for this.

I just don’t know if he can come back in time."

"It seems to be true."

Ancestor Chihuo scratched his head in embarrassment: "I was completely confused by the young master's strength."

"Brother Chihuo, you are very good at complimenting others."

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, no more joking, I can handle Sister Jiaojiao's side.

But I definitely can’t do it alone.

So I have to ask two seniors to help me.

Of course, before that, your injuries must be cured first.

I guess the reason why Yu Xiangtian let you go is because he thought your injuries would not recover in the short term.
