The Patriarch of the Devil's Dao: Choosing a Relative in Lotus Pier

After the battle at the Guanyin Temple a year ago, the entire world of cultivating immortals has undergone earth-shaking changes. Jin Guangyao, who was once the head of a hundred schools of immortality, suddenly became the devil that everyone shouted to kill.And after that battle, Jiang Cheng, the lord of Lotus Pier, became taciturn, as if he had become dumb; since then, he never took a step outside of Lotus Pier.

From then on, Lan Xichen from the Lan Clan of Gusu also became depressed and ignored worldly affairs.

Lan Wangji, one of the twin jades, wandered around and hunted at night with Wei Wuxian, and his trace was uncertain.

As for the Lanling Jin Sect, since Jin Guangyao's evil deeds were exposed, the entire fairy sect has become turbulent and its reputation has plummeted.

In desperation, Jin Ling took over as the Patriarch.Although Jin Ling is young, his abilities are lacking, and his cultivation is not outstanding, but he has an uncle Jiang Cheng who is a master of the immortal sect.

Among the four great families in the past, Qinghe Nie clan is no longer worth mentioning since Nie Huaisang took over as the head of the family; and Gusu Lan clan, the former Lan clan's Shuangbi went away, and the hermit's retreat is no longer what it used to be.

Now the Yunmengjiang Sect has the highest prestige in the Immortal Sect.It can be said that the wind and water are turning...

And as the nephew of Jiang Cheng, the head of the Yunmengjiang family, he has a lot of honor.Although Jin Ling's strength is not very good, no one dares to offend Jiang Cheng's nephew who has a bad temper and is known for his meanness.

At this time, Jin Ling's desk was full of portraits of beauties sent by various families.He casually picked up a scroll and unfolded it to read, raised his eyebrows, his dissatisfaction was evident, he threw the scroll in his hand, changed another scroll, opened it, and saw that the woman painted on it was not as good as he just threw away. The one that fell off was pretty, so his complexion became even worse, and he couldn't help but said: "What are these? This girl looks so innocent, she doesn't even look pleasing to my fairies, and she dares to show me it? What kind of person is my uncle? Is it someone with no salt who can climb high?" I don't know if it's because he has been with Jiang Cheng for too long. His words came out of his mouth, and he really followed his uncle more and more.

Chang Sheng, who was waiting on the side, heard the words, and quickly echoed with a smiling face: "What the suzerain said is very true, this Fan family is originally a small family with no popularity, and Xiao Yuan didn't want to accept his family's portraits, so I came to send them. People are eloquent, and they say that our Lanling Jin family is a famous family with strict family rules, and we will treat everyone equally and impartially..."

Jin Ling couldn't help but sneered and said, "Being impartial? My uncle has to see it." After finishing speaking, he picked out another six or seven portraits that he thought were good, and bundled them together. Then he asked his servants to pack their luggage, and prepared to go to Lianhuawu to find his uncle Jiang Cheng.

When Jin Ling came to the pier that he had to pass to go to Lianhuawu, he ran into an acquaintance. He said that this person was not a stranger.

This person is Nie Huaisang, the Patriarch of the Nie Clan in Qinghe.

Nie Huaisang stood motionless on the edge of the pier, staring at the water surface with rapt eyes, as if his soul had been sucked away.He was still dressed luxuriously, but his whole body seemed a little sluggish, as if there was something bothering him.

Nie Huaisang turned his back to Jin Ling and didn't see him for a while, but Jin Ling couldn't pretend that he didn't see Nie Huaisang.He had no choice but to step closer and approached, bowing and saying: "Sect Master Nie, don't come here without any harm."

Nie HuaiSang came back to his senses, seeing that it was Jin Ling, he wasn't too surprised: "Jin Ling, are you planning to go to Lianhuawu to find your uncle?"

Jin Ling nodded: "Exactly."

Hearing this, Nie HuaiSang acted like he had come up with something on the spur of the moment, and said, "Well, anyway, I have nothing to do on this trip, why don't you go with me, it just so happens that Jiang Cheng and I haven't seen each other for a long time, so it's time to visit our old friends."

"..." Jiang Cheng and Nie Huaisang were not only old friends, but also former classmates. Jin Ling couldn't say no, so he nodded in agreement. The two took the same boat to Lianhuawu.

Although the two are no strangers to each other, they are not in the same generation after all, so they couldn't find a topic for a while.

On the other hand, Jin Ling stared at Nie Huaisang with inquiring eyes for a long time, and asked hesitantly, "Sect Master Nie, what do you think of what Wei Wuxian said at the Guanyin Temple back then?"

Wei Wuxian once analyzed that the exposure of Jin Guangyao's evil deeds, and even the lure of his murderous intentions were all done by someone behind the scenes, and this person is very likely to be Nie Huaisang.

It's just that this is just a speculation, and everyone has no evidence.There are also many people who don't believe that this seemingly innocent and harmless Sect Master Nie is the person behind the plot.

Nie HuaiSang met Jin Ling's inquiring and suspicious eyes, with a dazed and perplexed expression: "Where did this... come from? I really don't know."

Jin Ling stared at him silently for a while, then suddenly said, "Are there any more sentences?"

Nie HuaiSang was stunned for a moment, then understood, and added a few words with a blank face: "I don't know, I really don't know."

Got three 'don't know. Only then was Jin Ling satisfied and stopped asking.

With this topic out of the way, Nie HuaiSang also heaved a sigh of relief, looking at Jin Ling and asked casually, "I heard that you have selected many ladies from famous families to show to your uncle. Your uncle...does he know about this?"

Jin Ling said in a solemn voice, "My uncle is not young, and I have to take care of my marriage. If he doesn't care, I'll take care of it for him. If he doesn't agree, I will move out of my past." His long-dead mother came to convince him."

Nie HuaiSang nodded: "Your uncle values ​​love and righteousness. If you move out with your birth mother, he will definitely listen to you." After a pause, he put on a shy expression: "By the way, the portraits of ladies you selected are Can you let me have a look, speaking of it, I am about the same age as your uncle, and I am still single."

Jin Ling hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No matter what Jin Guangyao is, we are still half relatives. I can show you the portraits, but you can choose other beauties only after my uncle has selected them."

"..." Nie Huaisang paused and said, "Actually, I just want to take care of your uncle and take a look first."

Jin Ling still looked skeptical, and ordered someone to bring the portrait over to Nie Huaisang to see.

Nie Huaisang took the portraits and read them one by one, nodding his head incessantly, adding a few words of praise like 'hmm, not bad'.After reading all of them, he rolled up the portrait, and said in a deep thought: "A Ling, have you ever thought that you are a junior to Sect Master Jiang after all, if you talk to your uncle about his marriage face to face, how much will he know?" Some embarrassment, some... things, he may not be able to say all of them."

Jin Ling remained silent. In Jiang Cheng's eyes, he might still be a child. No matter what his uncle had in mind, he might not be able to discuss matters of marriage with him: "So according to Sect Master Nie?"

Nie Huaisang thought for a while, "I might as well hand over these portraits to Sect Master Jiang for you to have a look at. We are of the same generation, and were classmates in the past. If he has other ideas, he won't be embarrassed not to tell me."

Jin Ling thought about it for a while and felt that this method was good, so he handed over all these portraits to Nie Huaisang for safekeeping.
