Chapter 574: Chapter 239 Traitor

That call of “Master” took Li Qingqing’s third uncle and the other two cultivators by surprise.

Even Elder Jin, looking at Lin Jing, was filled with disbelief…

Ever since he had entered the room, Lin Jing had been catching up with Elder Jin, and the few of them hadn’t paid any attention to Lin Jing’s cultivation level.

Especially Li Qingqing’s third uncle, seeing how familiar Lin Jing was with Li Qingqing, even more considered himself a senior of the Li Family and called Lin Jing “junior friend”.

But what they hadn’t expected was that Lin Jing was actually the master of the Golden Core Cultivator from before, and considering the aura that Golden Core Cultivator had released, he was at least at the Golden Core Late Stage.

To be the master of a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator, wouldn’t that require at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Stage?

...

And a Nascent Soul True Monarch, within the entire Nanming Domain, belonged to the top echelon, let alone the Li Family, even the Yun Family wouldn’t dare to provoke them lightly.

Li Qingqing’s third uncle, looking at Lin Jing at this moment, couldn’t help but feel his heart tremble…

After all,

he was only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment; to dare to call a Nascent Soul True Monarch “junior friend” was truly outrageous.

A moment later, Li Qingqing’s third uncle came to his senses and immediately became more cautious, and even his attitude towards Lin Jing became much more humble:

“I wonder what… senior…”

“has such a cultivation level?”

The other two in the room had already extended their Divine Sense towards Lin Jing to probe him as soon as they could.

However,

after probing, they found that Lin Jing’s cultivation was only at the Golden Core Mid-Stage, and no matter how they probed, they couldn’t find any flaws.

Their foreheads immediately furrowed.

How could a cultivator at the Golden Core Late Stage possibly recognize a Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivator as their master?

Unless this person’s cultivation was much higher than theirs, or this person possessed an extremely powerful concealment cultivation technique, which is why they couldn’t detect anything.

After probing, one of them spoke up:

“Third Master…”

“This… fellow Daoist…”

“must have concealed his true cultivation level. He likely doesn’t want to reveal too much, so there’s no need for you to ask further, Third Master.”

After hearing this, Li Qingqing’s third uncle understood and then said:

“Indeed, I was presumptuous…”

“Since that’s the case, then I won’t ask further.”

At this time, Li Qingqing looked at her third uncle and said directly:

“Third Uncle…”

“I’ve invited my friend to participate in our Li Family council.”

“You don’t have any objections, right?”

Li Qingqing’s third uncle, with an awkward smile, replied:

“Since he has come to aid our Li Family, of course, I have no objections…”

Li Qingqing nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Then, she turned around, pointed at the two Golden Core Mid-Stage cultivators, and said to Lin Jing:

“Brother Lin Jing…”

“These two are Offering Priest Luo and Offering Priest Yang…”

“Uncle Luo and Uncle Yang have been on good terms with our Li Family since my grandfather’s time. When they learned of my return to rebuild the Li Family, they joined and became offering priests of our Li Family.”

“During this time, they have been quite helpful to me.”

After saying this, Li Qingqing looked towards Offering Priest Luo and Offering Priest Yang and said:

“Uncle Luo, Uncle Yang…”

“Didn’t you say earlier that you have a way to help our Li Family through this crisis?”

“Why don’t you share it, so everyone can hear…”

Faced with Li Qingqing’s question, Luo and Yang, the two offering priests, hesitated.

First looking at Lin Jing, then Offering Priest Luo addressed Li Qingqing:

“Family Head…”

“May I know if your friend is a Nascent Soul True Monarch?”

“If he truly is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, then we need to make some changes to our earlier plan.”

No sooner had Offering Priest Luo finished speaking than Li Qingqing promptly replied:

“My brother Lin Jing is indeed a Nascent Soul True Monarch…”

“However, he has only recently advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, and due to some accidents during the advancement, his realm is not yet stable, and thus he can’t take action lightly.”

After speaking, Li Qingqing looked at them again:

“Uncle Luo, Uncle Yang…”

“Brother Lin Jing’s condition must not be revealed to outsiders, I hope you two uncles can keep this a secret.”

After hearing this, they promptly pounded their chests and said:

“Family Head rest assured, this matter is of great importance, we will definitely keep it a secret.”

Then, Li Qingqing continued:

“So, uncles, what exactly is the plan? I suppose you can speak now.”

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a look, then Offering Priest Luo spoke up again:

“Our plan is to first compromise with the Yun Family and give them the Inheritance Elixir Technique.”

“As you know, Family Head, the Yun Family is only after the Inheritance Elixir Technique. If we just imprint a copy and hand it over to them, I’m sure they wouldn’t trouble our Li Family too much.”

“And Yun Long will certainly not dare to speak wildly anymore about taking you as his concubine and humiliating our Li Family.”

“By just imprinting a copy of the Inheritance Elixir Technique, we can not only preserve the Li Family’s inheritance but also protect you, Family Head.”

“From the current situation, this seems to be the most cost-effective method.”

As he said this, Offering Priest Yang also interjected at this time, cupping his hands in persuasion:

“Family Head…”

“The Yun Family’s power is immense, not something we can afford to provoke, especially now with the Yun Family Ancestor’s advancement to the Nascent Soul, which has greatly increased the entire Yun Family’s power, completely binding them with the Nanming Immortal Sect.”

“Our Li Family cannot compete with them.”

“Moreover, it’s not just the Yun Family we’re facing, but also the Nanming Immortal Sect behind them.”

“Even if your friend is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, facing the Nanming Immortal Sect backed by the Yun Family, he would be powerless.”

“So…”

“I think under the current circumstances, it’s most important to ensure the safety of the Li Family and you, Family Head.”
