A few days after sending the child away, the palace master returned to Jinling from outside the pass ahead of schedule.Jiang Lingxin held the tablets of the two senior brothers and went to see the master together.

The snow was still outside the window, the Palace Master looked up at Luo Bai under the eaves, and said calmly: "You and the second child have always been at odds, and it was expected that you would not keep him, but I did not expect that you did not even keep your senior brother."

Jiang Lingxin was pale and haggard between his brows and eyes, but his meek and drooping eyes were not half-hard.

The Palace Master slowly withdrew his gaze from the window, and turned to look at his only disciple left.

Jiang Lingxin didn't argue, he bent down and kowtowed, and made a big salute.At that time, the master took them three brothers, taught them literature and martial arts, and let the three of them grow up together.The palace master knew that the elder apprentice had thoughts of overstepping the rules for him, so he deliberately favored the younger apprentice. He also knew that the second apprentice was arrogant and had a fierce rivalry with the younger apprentice, but he deliberately allowed their brothers to fight openly and secretly for many years.

They were supposed to be the closest fellow disciples, but they killed each other under Master's planning.They are just pawns, everything is to polish the most suitable person to be the next Palace Master.

Jiang Ling raised his eyes to look at his master, his heart was like a mirror.

"That's good too, Tianyi Mansion will be handed over to you, so I can feel at ease as a teacher."

The hem of the mansion master's clothes passed Jiang Lingxin, and a black gold jade talisman symbolizing the mansion master's identity was thrown in front of him.Behind him, the door was pushed open, filling the room with wind and snow, and Master's last words.

"The relationship between you and me, master and apprentice, ends here."

The wind was blowing and the snow was clear, and there was a touch of coldness, Jiang Ling's body shook slightly, and he slowly bent down.The jade talisman was cold in the hand, stinging the palm.So far, he personally forced his lover to death, sent away his flesh and blood, killed two senior brothers, severed ties with his master, and changed his authority.

Jiang Lingxin got up, stepped onto the main seat step by step, and sat down alone, with no warmth in his eyes.

In the following years, everyone in the Jianghu and the court knew that Jiang Lingxin, the head of the Tianyi Mansion, was a more ruthless and ruthless figure than the previous head.Tianyi Mansion does not interfere with government affairs, does not involve in party disputes, and only obeys His Majesty's orders.It is the sharpest sword in my hand.

During these years, Jiang Lingxin found out that Zhou Yan was not dead, but found a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to open a dilapidated medical clinic and spend his days intoxicated and dreaming.Later, he let the dark guard leave Zhou Yan, and never inquired about Zhou Yan again.Regarding the child, he didn't ask any questions, but just stayed around the child and took care of him.Mao Si sent a letter to him, informing him that the child would be raised in a merchant's family in Yangzhou.A wealthy family, without worrying about food and drink, grew up pampered by the family like a young master.

Afterwards, Mao Si sent another letter, and Jiang Lingxin never read it again.

In the seventh year of his tenure as the head of Tianyi Mansion, Jiang Ling was decisive and ruthless in his actions. At one time, the Holy One felt that his sword didn't even exist.

Jiang Lingxin thought that from then on, it was just like this, until one night in June of that year, during a thunderstorm, Mao Si came back covered in bruises, and brought an unconscious child with him.
