Chapter 177 – Coolness

Xue Mu didn’t fully believe that Zhang Bai Ling had come here to observe how this competition was organized, although it might be true, but this kind of thing would be almost as easy for him to send a few subordinates to observe and write a few reports up. Can let him ignore the previous dark war disagreement, brazen risk of being driven out personally over, and may bear Ji Qingyuan’s thunderous anger, which must have a few other reasons.

Temptation often begins with a snort: “Under the rule of the county magistrate, Lingzhou is a prosperous realm, trade is booming, the people’s style to the martial arts, full of spirit. The county magistrate is really a good minister of the world, my subordinate admires a million times.”

Speak well, in fact, all nonsense. Originally thought Zhang Bai Ling will polite a few official words, unexpectedly Zhang Bai Ling’s answer is even more absolute: “This official to do this county governor, no more than Xue City Lord a few days earlier. Lingzhou’s previous prosperity is also not the credit of this official.”

Xue Mu: “……”

Xue Qingqiu: “……”

The two of them looked at each other eye to eye, both of them were embarrassed beyond measure. The Star Moon Sect is famous for its intelligence, and the lines are all spread to the palace, but as a result, the parents at the doorstep can’t figure out when the official will take office, so it’s really a disgrace to the grandma’s house.

Xue Qingqiu has never put court officials in his eyes, and is too lazy to care who he is. And Xue Mu made a similar mistake this time, this kind of force world, the energy of the officials is too light, the influence that can be played on them is only in the aspect of political affairs, precisely Xue Mu never intends to use his brain in the aspect of political affairs, resulting in him not treating this top boss as a worthy opponent to face squarely at all. Zhang Bai Ling’s information had obviously been on both of their desks for a long time, but with so many things going on, where did he find the free time to look at this?

Thinking about it now, it really shouldn’t be.

If Zhang Bailing took office around the same time as Xue Mu, it means that Ji Qingyuan deliberately selected Zhang Bailing to suppress Xue Mu, was he especially trusting that his ability was enough to limit Xue Mu? Or is there another reason? There was a lot to be said for this, but the two actually never paid any attention to it.

Seeing the embarrassment of the two men, Zhang Bai Ling also laughed and laughed at himself, ”In fact, ever since I realized that City Lord Xue never asked about political affairs, I knew how embarrassing my position was. Both His Majesty and I have completely thought off the path.”

Xue Mu laughed, “It was my subordinate’s dereliction of duty, failing to properly cooperate with the county governor’s political affairs.”

Zhang Bai Ling waved his hand and suddenly said, “Do you two know why His Majesty sent me to be this county governor?”

Xue Mu arched his hand and said, “I would like to hear about it.”

“Because I had offended the Star Moon Sect, so naturally I will strive to prevent the Star Moon Sect from gaining power.”

With these words, both Xue family siblings almost didn’t hang their heads under their chairs. This was still an old enemy, and they actually didn’t know about it at all! It’s still an intelligence sect, so close it down before it’s too late.

Xue Mu really cried and laughed, even his voice drifted a few points, “I don’t know …… uh …… know when this clan has offended the county guard?”

Zhang Bai Ling sighed, “Old me comes from the Hexi Zhang family.”

Xue Mu turned his head to look at Xue Qingqiu, who looked puzzled: “The Ye County Zhang Family is your branch?”

“Yes.” Zhang Bai Ling sighed, “Now Patriarch Xue knows why His Majesty thinks that I don’t dare to let the Star Moon Sect gain power.”

“Yes. …… After all, it is a traitor.” Xue Qingqiu looked strange and seemed to be smiling, “But you guys are also underestimating this seat’s amount of power too much. Back then, our clan was in decline, and seeing that the extermination was imminent, the people who were busy abandoning our clan were everywhere. But we are a demonic sect, why have we ever talked about loyalty and righteousness? But just ordinary things, how can I hate to your head. Since this seat revitalized the sect, who can you see that this seat has retaliated against?”

Zhang Bai Ling shook his head, “But others won’t think so. Those who once abandoned you will not wish to see you regain your power, both to put fear in their own hearts and to further emphasize the treachery and stupidity of that year.”

Xue Qingqiu nodded, “This is the human heart.”

Xue Mu heard and understood.

In the early years, there were still quite a few clans or sects or whatever that secretly had dealings with the Star Moon Sect, just like the Zhang Family placing bets on both the Mind Sect and the Vertical and Horizontal Paths, and since there were people who placed bets on the Vertical and Horizontal Paths, naturally, there were people who placed bets on the Star Moon Sect too. At first, Meng Lan also said, they have a lot of teachers and sisters are these family children. Just that year suddenly met a big change, Star Moon Sect almost finished, those people see the situation is not good, even worship Star Moon Sect children have given up, decisively disengaged from the relationship.

This Zhang Bai Ling’s Hexi Zhang family, is one of them.

There is this layer of renegade past in, Ji Qingyuan think Zhang Bai Ling must be very resistant to the Star Moon Sect regain power, and some days ago Zhang Bai Ling also really exhausted for this, just his direction and Xue Mu is really two parallel lines, want to stop are unable to focus. Even the Acacia Sect has been involved, but it’s still useless. As the Spirit State Martial Arts Discussion boiled over, Zhang Bai Ling finally realized that the momentum was unstoppable, and decisively made another choice.

Zhang Bai Ling sighed: ”Back then we had already misjudged once, thinking that a fifteen year old little girl Patriarch couldn’t possibly make any waves, the facts proved us wrong, Patriarch Xue’s heavenly talent, Star Moon Sect’s extinction, I don’t know how many people regretted for this. Now is another node, Xue City Lord began to plan for the Star Moon Sect, the means is like a heavenly fairy, let a person can not be caught, the Star Moon Sect see to usher in another takeoff. After thinking about it, the old man must not make a mistake again and again, so I have come today to ask for forgiveness.”

Xue Qingqiu’s expression became more and more strange, “You should indeed ask for a pardon, but the sin is not in turning your back on the Star Moon Sect back then, nor is it in the open and secret wars of these days.”

Zhang Bai Ling was stunned, “Then where?”

Xue Qingqiu coldly said, “Back then, a five year old toddler, you guys abandoned it, could it be that you don’t have any feelings of guilt?”

“…… “Zhang Bai Ling was silent for a moment, not answering immediately. Family children open branches and spread the leaves of multiple bets, at any time there are people buried with the demise of one side of the force, habitual, there is really nothing guilty to speak of. Not to mention that the child is a branch of the children, and not his Zhang Bai Ling’s daughter, time has passed thirteen years, to be honest, Zhang Bai Ling simply do not know what the child’s name is.

But since Xue Qingqiu asked so, visible she knows who that child is, Zhang Bai Ling holding a few points that person has been an important deacon of the Star Moon Sect sense of anticipation, asked: “This matter is indeed the Zhang family has negatively affected the child …… I do not know that the child can still be well?”

Xue Qingqiu coldly said, “It seems that you really don’t even know people’s names.”

Zhang Bai Ling smiled awkwardly. Xue Mu, however, had a movement in his heart.

What Xue Qingqiu meant by this statement was that as long as he remembered the child’s name, he should know who she was? Surname Zhang, and so conspicuous …… wouldn’t that be ……

However, I heard Xue Qingqiu faintly said, “You just now also talked to this seat about your niece’s regular series of collector’s editions.”

Zhang Bai Ling froze for a moment, then rose up in ecstasy: “It is actually the piano fairy?”

The Xue family siblings both looked at him coldly, neither of them having a single expression on their faces.

Although with this kind of relationship at the bottom, the Star Moon Sect’s unification of the Spirit State seemed to be more of a seedling, but looking at Zhang Bai Ling’s ecstatic appearance, Xue Mu completely lacked the unexpected elation of being one step closer to his goal, and instead just wanted to slam his fist on his old face and punch him all over the place.

“Nauseating odor.” Curry Night muttered, dropping the fruit and jumping down to the ground, he went to the crowd to watch the competition, unwilling to stay here even for a moment.
