Chapter 129 Greed
Chapter 129 Greed
In the tent with flickering candlelight, Yin Jing's hands looked exceptionally white in the light and shadow. He slowly took out a night pearl from his storage bag. The pearl emitted a soft and mysterious light in the dim environment, as if it could illuminate the desires and fears deep in people's hearts.
Guo Lingli sat aside, her eyes following the light of the night pearl. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be another meaning behind taking out the night pearl with the silver mirror.
Leng Xing also took out a plate of spiritual fruits from his storage bag. They were bright red and juicy, and looked delicious.
Guo Lingli didn't know what she could bring to them, but she was very clear about one thing: these two people must have extraordinary origins.
“Birds fly high when they follow phoenixes; people become noble when they associate with virtuous people.” Guo Lingli recited this ancient saying in her heart and decided to put aside all distracting thoughts and learn from them wholeheartedly.
She looked at the two of them curiously, her heart full of doubts: "What exactly do you want to tell me by teaching me all this?"
Leng Xing sat aside, holding a delicate teacup, gently blowing away the hot steam floating on the surface, then glanced at the silver mirror indifferently, as if handing the responsibility of answering the question to the other party.
Seeing this, Yin Jing helplessly put down the teacup in his hand and a resigned smile appeared on his face.
"What we actually want to tell you is human greed." Silver Mirror's voice echoed in the tent, as if it had a power that penetrated people's hearts.
"You will be training with your six-winged condor tomorrow, and Leng Xing will definitely tell them that you are not familiar with it yet. In this way, those greedy people will become greedy and want to take your six-winged condor for themselves. We are doing this to buy you two days to get familiar with the six-winged condor."
After listening to Yin Jing's explanation, Leng Xing couldn't help but give a thumbs up, his admiration was beyond words: "If we talk about understanding human nature, you have to be the one."
After listening to the conversation between the two, Guo Lingli suddenly understood. She asked curiously, "Is everything he said right?"
Leng Xing smiled slightly and replied, "Almost. If I didn't know that you stayed here to appease Cheng Haoer, I would almost think that you knew everything about our conversation in Envoy Mei's tent." The latter words were said to Yin Jing.
After hearing this, Guo Lingli felt a little ashamed. Although she was quite smart, she was still far inferior to these two big guys in terms of understanding people's hearts.
She muttered, "I just can't guess."
Yin Jing happened to hear it and couldn't help laughing: "That's because you are still young and inexperienced. When you experience more things, you will naturally be able to see through people's hearts."
Seeing this, Leng Xing quickly interrupted their chat and said, "Stop messing around, let's figure out how to deal with those old foxes tomorrow. Although Cheng Haoer is smart, he is young after all. It is not easy to deal with those old foxes."
Guo Lingli was touched when she heard this. She asked tentatively, "Actually, you two didn't know each other on this level, did you? Judging from your knowledge, cognition, risk avoidance ideas, and the way you plan things, are you good... good friends?"
Neither of them answered Guo Lingli's question directly. They looked away from each other in disgust, as if they were hiding something.
Yin Jing coughed lightly and tried to change the subject: "What good friend? They are just partners."
Leng Xing also echoed, "Since ancient times, saints have been lonely. They met people of the same path in the lower world and cooperated with them temporarily."
Although neither of them directly admitted their relationship, Guo Lingli had seen the clues from their words and deeds. Moreover, they did not deny that they were from the upper realm, but it was unknown which layer of heaven they were from?
Guo Lingli lowered her eyes and drank tea. It was not that she did not have her own calculations, but they were not as deep as those of these two people, nor did she have their vision and knowledge.
In the silver mirror tent, the light of the night pearl illuminated the figures of Guo Lingli and the other two sitting together. They sipped tea, ate spiritual fruits, and discussed countermeasures.
Outside the tent, the originally peaceful campsite was now like a burning oil pan, bustling with noise and noise.
It turned out that the news that Guo Lingli had obtained the six-winged divine eagle was like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples.
The monks who heard about this gathered together, whispering and discussing. They were filled with regret, jealousy, and confusion, and all kinds of emotions intertwined together to form a vivid picture.
"How could you be so stupid that you let a kid who knows nothing get there first?" a burly monk complained dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, can't you make the contract first before she signs the contract?" another monk echoed.
"Your team is still too young and don't know how to adapt." An old man shook his head and sighed.
Fengyun Miaoren stood in the crowd, listening to the discussions, and couldn't help feeling a little indignant.
He glanced at the monks who were talking, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He couldn't help but retort loudly: "What do you mean we don't know how to adapt? It's better to say that you are too greedy!"
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused an uproar.
The monks all glared at him, and one of the skinny monks sneered, "You greenhorn, you have no right to speak here."
Fengyun Miaoren showed no sign of weakness and was about to continue arguing when he was stopped by the person next to him.
Another short monk echoed, "Who said it wasn't true? I can tell from the looks of it that you're a newbie, and you don't even know what a six-winged divine eagle is. Whoever can get a contract with it can directly ascend to the upper realms?"
Did Tian Yu San Ren really not know that just by contracting a six-winged divine eagle, one could ascend to the upper realm? Didn't one need to cultivate to a certain level?
He quickly whispered to the team members around him, "Isn't it true that one must practice the truth before one can ascend to heaven?"
Huang Bing, one of the vice-captains, explained to him in a low voice: "The headquarters of our Dharma sect is in the upper realm. If you want to go up there, in addition to practicing and ascending, there is also the opportunity for direct promotion. So tomorrow will probably be a melee."
After hearing this, Tianyu Sanren showed a solemn expression on his face.
He turned to Sui Zheng and said, "We need to tell Cheng Haoer about this right away. Even though that guy looks weak, he risked his life to subdue the six-winged divine eagle for our sake."
Fengyun Miaoren was pulled back and happened to hear Tianyu Sanren's suggestion. He quickly agreed, "Yes, we have to tell Cheng Haoer about the current situation."
Sui Zheng nodded and came over to say, "Don't worry, we are not ungrateful people. Captain Leng often tells us to pay attention to cause and effect. He spent three days and three nights to get the six-winged divine eagle. We will not watch others snatch it away."
After hearing this, Fengyun Miaoren felt a warm feeling in his heart and felt that this team was really united.
However, Tianyu Sanren noticed the flash of cunning in Sui Zheng's eyes.
He thought back to what Sui Zheng had just said, and thought to himself, "Will they not let others snatch it away? I'm afraid this six-winged divine eagle will become a shared property of the team, right? I hope Cheng Haoer can take care of himself."
At this moment, Zhen Yan was standing in the distance, looking at Yin Jing's tent thoughtfully. He knew that Captain Leng was there at the moment, discussing countermeasures with Guo Lingli and others.
Of course, he also hoped that the six-winged eagle could be used by the team, but at the same time he was also worried whether Yin Jing would agree with this decision. After all, Yin Jing was a simpleton, but he was a very stubborn person at heart, and it would not be easy to take the six-winged eagle away from him.
That’s right, in Zhen Yan’s eyes, the six-winged divine eagle has become Yin Jing’s property.
