Chapter 249 Exploring the Secrets of Linling's Growth
At dawn, it will be the second day of the Chinese New Year. Chu Tao, Bai Yinfan, Mai Wanxiu and Mai Xiaoxiu got up and began to play in the yard, once again leaving those troubles behind.
But Chen Lai doesn't have time to play.
Chen Lai was going to ask Lin Lingcheng about the details through the disciples who came to do handyman, but the disciples who came here were in a hurry and could see at a glance that they were not the kind of people who could help. For this reason, Chen Lai asked his disciples to send a message and send a stew manager.
For a while, a white and fat middle-aged disciple walked into the courtyard. He is a housekeeper in the post hall, named Tian Cheng. Chen came to see that he was an honest man and didn't have much cultivation. He felt that this person was credible, so he called him into the study.
"Young master..." Entering the study, Tian Cheng bowed down respectfully.
Chen Lai waved his hand at him and motioned him to come in.
After Tian Cheng thanked him, he carefully stood in front of him. Everyone in the post hall knows that Tianshi, the guardian, is respectful to Master Chen, so the status of Master Chen must be very high. It is not that these ordinary disciples can be flattered, so Tian Cheng is somewhat flattered.
"Housekeeper Tian, how long have you been here?" Chen Lai's voice was gentle, as if he wanted to marry him.
"Master Chen, my disciples have been here for 15 years." Tian Cheng bent down and smiled.
Fifteen years have passed, which shows that this person is very stable. Chen Lai nodded, "I heard that housekeeper Tian is safe. It seems that this is true!"
"Let Master Chen laugh."
Chen Lai waved his hand and asked, "Housekeeper Tian, how long have you been in Baiqi Hall?"
"It has been 30 years since I returned to Master Chen."
"Is it so long?" Chen Lai was stunned.
"Yes..." Tian Cheng talked about his experience in Baiqi Hall. It turned out that Tian Cheng was just a teenager when he came here. His original dream was to become a great practitioner, but in later practice, he found that he was not this material at all, so he no longer focused on cultivation, but on taking care of other disciples. Slowly, he became a little housekeeper and several elders of Baiqitang. , and several guardians above him trusted him, so he was asked to be the general manager of Baiqitang Station.
This position is big, but not small. People who come to the post hall are generally people with status, either rich or noble. It often costs a lot to entertain them. Being a housekeeper can get a lot of money every day. However, Tian Cheng has always been loyal and honest, self-denial and public, and deeply trusted by the upper class.
Of course, this is also the reason why Chen Lai called him.
"Tianshi Hufa and I have been good friends for many years. He trusts you, and I also trusts you. Will you follow me to Kyoto in the future?" Chen Lai made an invitation. In fact, Chen Lai has never been to Kyoto. To say this, it is just to win people's hearts. Of course, as long as the other party agrees, he will definitely bring him to Kyoto for development in the future. He is a trustworthy person, but now he still focuses on garners.
Tian Cheng was flattered when he heard it, "Master Chen, how dare this disciple climb high?"
He has long been used to being a housekeeper in Baiqitang, and his family is also in the post hall, so he is still a little reluctant to leave Baiqitang for a while, but Chen Lai really wants to take him away and said with a smile, "Master Chen, my disciples are used to being here. Please promote other elite disciples!"
Chen Lai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to go, don't go."
Tian Cheng couldn't help nodding.
Chen Lai pointed to a chair next to him, "Housekeeper Tian, you'd better sit down and talk."
Tian Cheng hurriedly retreated when he heard it, "How dare this disciple? Please also ask Master Chen to give a lecture.
Seeing that Tian Cheng is extremely humble, Chen Lai believes that he is an honest and reliable person and nod, "Well, I want to talk to you and casually talk about the situation here."
Tian Cheng nodded again, "Master Chen, please ask, what my disciples know will not keep it."
Chen Lai nodded and mentioned Lin Lingcheng, "Housekeeper Tian, how long have you been following Elder Lin?"
Tian Cheng was stunned and still replied, "My disciple has been following Elder Lin for more than ten years."
Chen Lai nodded. The reality is already obvious. Tian Cheng is a confidant of Lin Lingcheng. Although he is just a housekeeper, he must know many secrets of Lin Lingcheng. The time is not short. No wonder Elder Lin trusts you so much!"
Tian Cheng smiled and said, "Ep Elder Lin is wise and martial. If I can follow him for a lifetime, I am a creation!"
"Oh?" Chen Lai pretended to be shocked, "Is Elder Lin wise and amazing? I haven't heard about this, but you told me and let me listen to it.
Through Tianshi, Chen Lai has asked Lin Lingcheng about the details, but Tianshi doesn't know much, and now he must know through Tian Cheng. Of course, this opportunity cannot be missed.
Tian Cheng was stunned again. Anything about Lin Lingcheng is a major secret. Since Tianshi doesn't talk to Chen, he can't open his mouth easily, otherwise the disaster will come out of his mouth!
But Chen Lai proposed that if he didn't say anything, he would offend him. Even if he offend him, even if he offend Tianshi, there will be big trouble at that time!
After thinking about it, he smiled and said, "Eveiled Elder Lin is profound and upright. He is a well-known figure inside the thunders. Of course, he is a wise and martial artist!"
What you say are all official words, and the skills to answer Chen Lai's questions can cover up Lin Lingcheng's true details.
Chen Lai heard it and smiled. He figured out that Tian Cheng was honest, but he was still very shrewd, and he couldn't figure out his words in a few words. However, it won't work without doing this!
"Housekeeper Tian, I know what you said."
Chen Lai doesn't want to take some unconventional methods for Tian Cheng. After all, this person is an honest person. It is not easy to become an honest person within Baiqitang and become an honest person who is satisfied with both top and bottom. Chen Lai doesn't want to, and never wants to bully honest people, so he has always maintained a gentle tone and rare patience.
But he saw that Tian Cheng was really shrewd. If he didn't use a little way to warn him, he could not be shocked. So, he thought of his own knife. Of course, it is not killing, but expressing his attitude through a sword.
Tian Cheng has been quietly observing Chen Lai's expression, trying to see what he wants to ask, what he wants to get, and what kind of attitude he is. But he can't see it.
According to his cultivation, he can't see it at all. However, he believed in his feelings, and he felt that Chen Lai seemed to be angry.
When I noticed that there had been a treasure knife floating behind Chen Lai, I couldn't help but be surprised!
In the whole Baiqi Hall, he can control the treasure knife like this. He knows that only the elder Linling is alone, and even Tianshi can't reach it! Chen Lai is so young that he can have such a great cultivation. He is indeed a master from Kyoto!
At the same time, he felt an atmosphere, a depressing atmosphere, an atmosphere that made people unable to breathe, right beside him, as if to take some measures against him!
Tian Cheng was so scared that he sweated profusely, and his legs couldn't help trembling. He could feel that, not to mention himself, even Lin Lingcheng did not dare to offend this young master Chen for a moment!
After wiping the sweat on his forehead, Tian Cheng smiled bitterly, "Master Chen, what do you want to know?"
At this time, he directly raised the question. I can't wait any longer. There will be some bad problems! He is unwilling to risk his life and the lives of his family.
"I want to know all the questions about Lin Lingcheng..." Chen Lai raised it directly.
Tian Cheng was shocked. He is worried about this problem. What if he tells Chen Lai all the news about Lin Lingcheng and let Lin Lingcheng know?
"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Chen Lai found Tian Cheng's worry and directly threw him a reassurance. "Even if there is a problem, Lin Lingcheng will go to Tianshi, but he won't look for you!"
Tian Cheng had no choice but to tell Chen Lin Lingcheng all the news. When Lin Lingcheng came to Baiqitang, who his friends are, who the enemies are, what extent his cultivation has been, as well as his family, property, etc. were all told to Chen. Tian Cheng stressed to Chen Lai that Lin Lingcheng was very strict and often killed the disciples of Tianleimen because they violated the rules of Tianleimen, which made all the disciples extremely in awe of him.
After listening to it, Chen Lai found that Lin Lingcheng did not have any bad hobbies, no handle or shortcomings. In this way, it becomes a little difficult to deal with him.
If there is a shortcoming, then this person's shortcoming is that it is lighter than killing! As a result, there are more people who hate him, which leads to more enemies.
Asked Tian Cheng again, Chen Lai learned that there were four disciples under Lin Lingcheng, who had a bad relationship with three of them. In particular, it is very contradictory to the great protection of the four guardians.
Chen Lai thought that he could win over Yu Bao, thus causing a constraint on Lin Lingcheng, and then he asked Yu Bao about the details. Tian Cheng also told Chen Lai all the secrets of the treasure.
It turns out that Yu Bao is greedy for money, but his swordsmanship is superb and likes to make friends with swordsmen and swordsmen. Chen Lai thought that he was a swordsman and could get to know Yu Bao through Tianshi, so as to contain and even control Lin Lingcheng.
After telling all the news about Lin Lingcheng and Yu Bao, Tian Cheng could no longer stand. Only by holding the bookshelf next to him could he stand firm. He knew that Lin Lingcheng and Yu Bao were not the people he could offend. Once Chen leaked the news, he and his family would be desperate.
Chen Lai saw this, smiled faintly, stood up, walked to him and patted him on the shoulder. "Housekeeper Tian, don't worry, I will keep your safety in mind. Go and inform Tianshi Hufa, and say that I have invited you.
Tian Cheng was stunned and said, "Master Chen, Tianshi has gone to Kyoto."
"Oh?" Chen Lai was stunned, "When did you know?"
"I heard from his guard that he may not come back until the day after tomorrow."
Chen Lai nodded, thinking about why Tianshi was going to Kyoto. He waved his hand to Tiancheng and asked him to wait for Tianshi. As soon as he came back, he would let him come to see him.
Tian Cheng said yes and bent down to withdraw.
Looking at Tian Cheng's trembling back, Chen Lai smiled again. From the beginning to now, he has never let a good man be involved because he is involved, and he will not be involved in this Tian Cheng.
Thinking that Tianshi would not return until two days later, he turned around and looked at his sword again.
