Chapter 196: Super Mysterious Uncle Da Zhang

Yunjin Villa!

By the time Leng Xuan and the two young ladies arrived, it was around eleven o’clock. Upon seeing them, Old Master Ling exchanged only a few words with his granddaughter Ling Xuejiu and Li Mengjie before taking Leng Xuan alone to his room.

Ling Xuejiu felt quite aggrieved in her heart. Was Grandpa treating Leng Xuan almost better than his own granddaughter? Wuu wuu, what’s going on here?

After sitting down on the living room sofa, she couldn’t help but ask Uncle Liu, "Uncle Liu, what are Grandpa and Leng Xuan talking about? Why do they have to close the door and not let us know?"

Li Mengjie blinked her eyes, obviously also curious and looked towards Uncle Liu.

"Ahem!" Uncle Liu was slightly embarrassed and said, "This... I’m not sure either. Probably discussing the matter of Mr. Leng treating the old master’s injuries last time. He said he wanted to properly thank Mr. Leng."

"Really?" Ling Xuejiu asked, "How is Grandpa going to thank him?"

Before Uncle Liu could answer, Li Mengjie chuckled and said, "If you ask me, he’s probably going to ask you to pledge yourself to him."

"Hm?" Ling Xuejiu’s face turned red, and she glared at Li Mengjie, saying fiercely, "You silly girl, if you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll cut off our friendship?"

"Oh~!" Li Mengjie smiled slyly and said, "Okay, I won’t say it. Isn’t it just a joke? Why so serious?"

Uncle Liu coughed twice. He had watched the two young mistresses grow up together and naturally understood their characters. It was normal for them to bicker now and then. He had nothing to add to the conversation and said, "Miss, Miss Xiao Jie, why don’t you both sit here for a while? Today, Old Master especially asked me to invite several chefs from Imperial Cuisine House over. I’m not sure how the meal preparation is going, I’ll go take a look."

"Uncle Liu, go ahead, don’t worry about us."

"Alright, good!"

"..."

Inside Old Master Ling’s room, Leng Xuan straightforwardly said, "Old Master, I have something I’d like to ask your advice on!"

Ling Tian laughed and said, "Speak your mind."

"Yes!" Leng Xuan hesitated for a moment, as the matter of his cultivating the Defying Heaven Art was known only to Uncle Da Zhang and himself; not even the Dragon Head knew what kind of spell he was practicing.

With a silent sigh, although Uncle Da Zhang had instructed him not to reveal this secret, Leng Xuan felt that Old Master Ling was trustworthy. To break through his bottleneck, he had no choice but to divulge, saying, "Old Master, here’s the thing. When I was very young, I met a foreigner, and he taught me a cultivation technique called the Defying Heaven Art..."

"Defying Heaven Art?" Suddenly, Ling Tian seemed shocked, his body trembling slightly as he said, "You say the spell you’re practicing is called Defying Heaven Art?"

Leng Xuan did not expect Ling Tian to react so strongly and paused in surprise but eventually nodded. Since he had already started, it was even worse to keep anything back. He continued, "Yes. Old Master, are you aware of this cultivation technique?"

Even though Ling Tian was usually very composed, he was still visibly excited upon hearing this, barely managing to control his emotions before he said, "Of course, I know it. Anyone from that place would not be unaware of it."

Leng Xuan’s heart stirred, realizing that Uncle Da Zhang must have had a significant reputation. He must have been a remarkable person in the past. It seems that he had underestimated him all this while. In his view, Uncle Da Zhang may not even be as powerful as the old master, which was why he wanted to consult Old Master Ling about his cultivation level.

After a brief pondering, Leng Xuan then asked, "Old Master, the place you mentioned, is it the Cultivation World?"

Ling Tian asked back instead of answering, "The senior who taught you the Defying Heaven Art, does he have the surname Zhang?"

Leng Xuan’s expression changed. Although he did not know Uncle Da Zhang’s surname, since everyone called him Uncle Da Zhang, it was likely Zhang. But how did Old Master Ling know this?

Could it be that they knew each other?
