Evil Master and Disciple

Chapter 1421 Personal grudges

Inside the inn.

Linglong turned off the Spirit Sound Mirror.

While eating her snacks, Fairy Ziyin tilted her head and looked at her senior sister.

"Senior sister, what is your relationship with Ye Feng, Yu Long's disciple?"

Linglong said, "It doesn't matter."

"Come on, if there's nothing between us, why would you care so much about him? We grew up together, you don't need to hide it from me anymore. I'm asking you, isn't that Ye Feng Guo Wei's youngest son, Guo Zhengfeng?"

"Since you already know, why are you asking me?" Linglong said calmly, seemingly unsurprised by Fairy Ziyin's words.

"Hehe, I knew it. I had some doubts before and couldn't be sure. I was just asking the question, but I didn't expect you to admit it yourself."

"Senior sister, I know a little about what you've done over the years. How could you send your own grandson right under Shen Lin's nose? Aren't you afraid Ye Feng's identity will be discovered?"

Linglong sighed and said, "Sending Feng'er to the Yunhai Sect was a last resort. My informant in the Yunhai Sect said that the elders who followed Fuyou back then are still loyal to Fuyou. They need one of Fuyou's descendants to enter the Yunhai Sect so that they can gather those people together and have a greater chance of revenge."

So when the Guo family met their demise, I took the opportunity to send young Feng'er into the Yunhai Sect. However, I was never entirely at ease with the inside man who entrusted Feng'er to me; I only felt at ease handing her over to Huang Youdao.

"Oh I got it."

Fairy Ziyin looked enlightened and said, "Although many of those who followed Ye Fuyou were killed by Shen Lin during the last internal strife in the Cloud Sea Sect, Ye Feng, you didn't send them in for nothing."

As far as I know, although this kid is unruly, he is highly regarded by the senior Dugu Chan, who even passed on the Three Swords of Godslaying to him.

Within a century, this kid will definitely become a legendary figure in the mortal realm. He might even become the second Sword God Dugu.

Linglong said, "That's why I sent a message to Lingyin, telling her not to hurt Feng'er."

"Then you can just tell me directly. Since Ye Feng is your grandson, I won't use him as a bargaining chip in my negotiations with Shen Lin. I'll have Lingyin release Ye Feng later."

"Hehehe, junior sister, although we haven't met many times in the past two hundred years, I know you very well. Do you really think you'll let Ye Feng go just because he's my grandson?"

Fairy Ziyin smiled and said, "Senior Sister understands me best. This negotiation is of great importance. Shen Lin has the list of most of the spies that the Venerable Lord has planted in our Holy Sect, including quite a few from our Goddess Palace."

There aren't many people that Shen Lin cares about. Although Dugu Changkong and Fu Jinghong have been quite a handful over the years, I think that even combined, they aren't as important to Shen Lin as Ye Feng.

"Don't worry, senior sister. The negotiations should yield results tomorrow. As long as an agreement is reached with Shen Lin, I will immediately have Ling'er release Ye Feng."

After Ziyin Fairy finished speaking, she looked at Linglong, but Linglong did not say anything.

Fairy Ziyin frowned slightly and said, "Senior sister, you're not angry with me, are you? If you are, I'll contact Lingyin right now."

Linglong shook her head and said, "No need. I actually want to see Shen Lin's attitude towards Feng'er."

"What do you mean?"

"According to my speculation, Shen Lin knew Feng'er's identity from the very beginning, and that Feng'er was Fuyou's grandson."

"What? How is that possible?! If Shen Lin knew Ye Feng's identity, he should have eliminated him long ago. Why would he value Ye Feng so much? I heard that the magic weapons, immortal swords, talismans and pills sold in the large Lingbao Pavilion at the foot of Yunhai Sect Mountain were all taken directly from the treasure vault of the Lingbao Academy of Yunhai Sect. Who would believe that without Shen Lin's authorization?"

Ye Feng is Ye Fuyou's grandson, not Shen Lin's. Since he already knew Ye Feng's identity, why was he so kind to him? Wasn't he worried that Ye Feng would seek revenge when he grew up?

Linglong sighed softly, her expression somewhat gloomy.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister? Did I say something wrong?"

Linglong then told Fairy Ziyin what she had recently learned: Ye Fuyou had not died at Qiyun Mountain more than two hundred years ago, but had died more than half a year ago; and how Ye Feng had been punished by Yu Chenzi to be imprisoned in the stone cell with Ye Fuyou many times over the years.

In this world, Linglong truly trusts only two people.

One of them was her eldest son, Ye Wei.

The other one is my junior sister, Fairy Ziyin, whom I grew up with.

Previously, Linglong had kept her actions a secret from Fairy Ziyin to avoid affecting her junior sister and the Goddess Palace. Now that she had decided to give up on taking revenge on Shen Lin, there was nothing left for her to hide from Fairy Ziyin.

After listening to Linglong's story, Fairy Ziyin fell into deep thought.

Based on Linglong's account, it can be basically concluded that Shen Lin has known Ye Feng's true identity for many years.

This greatly puzzled Fairy Ziyin, who said, "What is Shen Lin trying to do? He clearly knows that Ye Feng is Ye Fuyou's grandson, so why can he tolerate him? Is he some kind of saint? If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate Ye Feng. I would have already killed him with a single stroke."

Linglong smiled bitterly, "That's what I can't understand. I used to think I knew Shen Lin very well, but recently I suddenly realized that I don't seem to know him at all."

So I wanted to use Ye Feng's arrest to see what Shen Lin was really thinking.

Fairy Ziyin said, "Shen Lin and I will meet to negotiate tomorrow night at midnight. Senior sister, why don't you come with me?"

I think we misjudged Shen Lin before. Since he knows about Ye Feng's existence, he probably also knows that you are alive.

Now that you and Guo Wei have given up on revenge, it's time to settle the old grudges face to face. Ye Feng is now the sole successor of Elder Dugu, with a bright future ahead of him. Don't let the old grudges ruin Ye Feng's future.

Linglong nodded silently and said, "This is also the main reason why I came to find you as soon as possible. In fact, I had planned to die on Mount Jiuhua last night, to exchange my life for the safety of Wei'er's family."

Since I didn't die on Mount Jiuhua last night, I naturally have to see Shen Lin. Besides, I have some things to take care of.

"Over the years, I've been used by that person, becoming a tool in his hands to deal with Shen Lin. Naturally, I must seek justice."

"You've mentioned that person to me many times before. Who exactly is that person? Can you handle them? Do you need my help?"

Linglong gently shook her head and said, "This is a personal matter between him and me. I don't need anyone's help, and no one can help me. If you really get involved, it might affect the current cooperation between the Holy Sect and the Cloud Sea Sect."
