C3523 Liu Xun Who Was Not Very Smart
Old Man Ling Long's expression was the same as usual. "He is my friend, his name is Jiang..."
Jiang Ting said quietly, "Fu Jianglong."
Old Man Ling Long's words paused, and his expression revealed some surprise. However, he did not ruin the situation. He just laughed and covered it up.
"Greetings, Senior Jiang." Liu Xun bowed slightly. Although his attitude could be considered respectful, Jiang Ting could tell that Liu Xun wasn't respectful at all.
Obviously, his first impression was that Jiang Ting was a friend of his master, so he didn't fear him.
Jiang Ting didn't want to stay here for too long. "Since he's here, shall I bring him to Songning Workshop?"
"Thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Long became lazy again.
Jiang Ting smiled and looked at Liu Xun. "Come with me."
Liu Xun hurriedly responded and followed Jiang Ting out of Ling Long Library. They walked to the street. He wanted to say something, but Jiang Ting's footsteps were extremely fast. He could only suppress his words and follow behind Jiang Ting.
Although the Xiaoxiang Dock wasn't large, because of Liu Xun's speed... Although Jiang Ting's speed was fast, it was no doubt that he was holed up.
After spending nearly half an incense stick of time, he finally walked out of the marketplace.
Outside the market.
After leaving the marketplace, Jiang Ting didn't say anything. He only waved his hand. He took out the flying boat... Hmm, considering that he was using an alias, the flying boat had just appeared, and it was already too late for anyone under the Golden Core stage to react. It turned into an ordinary flying boat.
The silver dragon was clearly 200 feet in size, but after it transformed... In Liu Xun's eyes, it was less than thirty meters, like an ordinary flying boat... Of course. Given Liu Xun's cultivation base, why would he be afraid of a mere thirty meters? In his opinion... It was also very impressive.
"Come on up." Jiang Ting flew into the flying boat with a tap of his feet, and then controlled the falling of the flying boat to stick to the ground.
If it didn't land on the ground, Liu Xun, who was only at the Qi Refining stage, wouldn't be able to smoothly enter the flying boat.
When Liu Xun entered the flying boat, Jiang Ting flicked out a magic power, and the flying boat instantly cut through the sky and flew towards the northwest direction. Of course, its speed wasn't fast, and it didn't even have a tenth of the normal speed.
After the distance between them and Xiao Xiangdock was slightly further increased.
Only then did Jiang Ting turn his head. "Songning Workshop, is it in the northwest?"
When Liu Xun heard this, he was stunned for a moment.
Only after that did he realize that Jiang Ting was talking to him.
He couldn't help but speak hastily, "Yes, yes... That's right, according to the master, the Songning and Xiaoxiang Dock are about sixty thousand miles apart... "
Jiang Ting glanced at the dockyard out of the corner of his eye and said with a smile, "Sixty thousand miles... This distance isn't close."
Liu Xun nodded like a chick pecking at rice. "Isn't that so? I haven't been home for a few years."
Jiang Ting's eyes twitched. It seemed like his attitude was overly gentle. Liu Xun was not afraid of strangers at all... Of course, it could also be related to the time when Ling Long introduced them to each other, saying that they were friends.
In his mind, Jiang Ting did not correct him.
Instead, he opened his mouth and said, "Little friend, previously, your master only told me that the Liu family is in trouble, but did not specify the details... Do you know what kind of trouble you have encountered?"
His words were not arrogant at all, and were full of friendliness.
Liu Xun boldly walked to the deck and laid down on the fence, looking at the rapidly retreating ground.
As he looked at the ground with a slight yearning, he said, "I'm not sure either, but I think it must have something to do with the Zhu family."
"The Zhu family?"
After a pause, Jiang Ting looked indifferent. "I've heard about it from your master. Since Songning Workshop is controlled by the Liu family and the Zhu family, I guess... Your Liu family's strength should be about the same as the Zhu family. Why would the Zhu family be so bold as to deal with the Liu family? "
If it was someone at the Golden Core Realm or a slightly smarter Foundation Establishment Realm, then they would definitely be able to react at this moment. Jiang Ting was trying to trick them... Of course, even though Jiang Ting's trick wasn't very obvious at this moment, it wasn't obscure at all.
It wasn't that Jiang Ting was unable to get more information out of him... Rather, he was worried that if he spoke too secretively, then wouldn't it be a waste if Liu Xun didn't understand?
On the other side.
Liu Xun, who didn't notice anything, answered without any preparation, "It was alright in the past. Our Liu family and the Zhu family's strength weren't much different, but now..."
At the end of his words, Liu Xun's eyes revealed a slight gloominess, helplessness, and some anger.
Jiang Ting's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this... It seemed like there was a problem with the upper echelons of the Liu family.
On the surface, Jiang Ting continued to show concern. "What's the matter? Could it be that you have stirred up some grief?"
Liu Xun hurriedly waved his hand. "No... No..."
Following which, under Jiang Ting's untraceable words, Liu Xun did not notice anything and explained the information in detail.
It turned out that in the past, the Liu Clan and Zhu Clan were on par with each other. Because both clans had a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and even though he was only at the Golden Core Realm, it was more than enough for a clan that controlled the market.
After all, apart from the extremely rare families, most of the other families were at the Golden Core realm. After all, apart from extremely rare clans, most clans only had one Golden Core Realm cultivator at most. It was destined that families could not continue to prosper... The stronger ones... Only factions like sects could do it.
However, that was in the past.
About ten years ago, the Liu Clan Patriarch's lifespan had reached its end, and he passed away in meditation.
However, the Zhu family's old ancestor, who was from another family in Songning Lane, was different... Just as he was about to pass away in meditation, the Zhu family's old ancestor somehow obtained a Life Prolonging pill and extended his lifespan.
Putting aside the fact that his lifespan had been extended, the Zhu Family Patriarch's cultivation base had even advanced for some unknown reason due to the extension of his lifespan... Hmm, Liu Xun said that he had once heard of it from Old Ling Long.
The reason why the Zhu Family's Ancestor was able to break through was probably because his lifespan was nearing after consuming the pill, and he had resolved the danger of life and death. For a moment, he was able to see through life and death, and that was the reason why he was able to break through.
But all of this wasn't important. The important thing was that the Liu Family's Golden Core had died. Not only had the Golden Core of the Zhu Family not died, it had even advanced further... But the Liu Family had not immediately pulled out Songning Workshop. Instead, they stayed in the Songning Workshop and could not bear to part with the enormous profits of the Songning Workshop. This was a disaster.
Of course, Liu Xun didn't say that. The information was summarized by Jiang Ting based on Liu Xun's answer and some scattered information.
After probing for a while more subtly, Jiang Ting discovered that Liu Xun did not know any deeper information. After all, he was only at the Qi Refining stage.
He was not trying to get information out of him?
After pondering for a while, Jiang Ting spoke again, "Little friend Liu Xun, speaking of which, since the Zhu family is going against the Liu family, why aren't you afraid that your master will take revenge on them?"
Liu Xun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed bitterly. "The Zhu family has a Golden Core realm expert that suppresses all directions, so why would they care about my master... If it wasn't for the master somehow knowing about the crisis that has occurred to the family... I don't even want the master to get involved in this."
